Stocks to sell

As we look ahead to next year, we must consider which stocks to sell and which opportunities to pursue. This year has been about de-risking portfolios, and that trend will likely continue for the foreseeable future. Stocks have been under duress for several months now, and the trend isn’t going away anytime soon. The Federal

Technology stocks are showing some signs of life with the Nasdaq Composite up nearly 10% over the past four trading days. The renewed interest in growth stocks has been triggered by lower-than-expected inflation readings. The hope is that the Federal Reserve will begin to ease its aggressive rate-hiking campaign. However, the recent data is far

Undoubtedly, electric vehicle stocks have been on a roll in recent days. Sparked by positive comments about the sector from Chinese President Xi Jinping, the lack of a big Republican victory in America’s recent congressional elections, and China’s reopening initiative, the beleaguered sector is definitely in the midst of a comeback. Another factor that may

When Meta Platforms’ (NASDAQ:META) CEO Mark Zuckerberg changed Facebook’s name in Oct. 2021, it was supposed to breathe new life into one of the biggest tech stocks on the planet. Unfortunately, that’s not what happened at all.  Since late last year, the stock plummeted from about $320 to a recent low of $88.09. Even now,

The explosive stock market rally seen on Nov. 10 may have invited some investors to start thinking this downturn is coming to a close. However, before you make the move from “risk-off” to “risk-on,” there are certainly concerns to consider. That goes double for those planning to dive back into speculative investments. There are plenty

Meme stocks represented one of the most remarkable developments in the equities space during much of the new normal. However, by 2022, this sector received a very rude awakening. To be fair, this space enjoys backing from powerful Internet communities, making a shorting proposition wildly risky. So, that’s not what I’m going to talk about.

Things seem to be getting worse in China. In recent months, Chinese President Xi Jinping has consolidated his grip on power. He’s pledged to return China’s economy to its socialist roots and move away from the free market path it had been on. This follows more than a year of crackdowns on publicly traded Chinese

At long last, after taking a beating all year long SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI) stock had a good day. On Nov. 1 share shot higher after SoFi released its third-quarter 2022 financial results. Yet, those gains were quickly coughed up as SOFI stock retreated over the next couple of days. Investors must ask themselves: Why did this happen, and

There’s a decent chance that any stock investment is bound to decline in value right now. The Federal Reserve recently instituted its fourth consecutive 75 basis point (0.75%) interest rate hike. This move signaled that the ultimate terminal rate required to bring down inflation may be higher than initially anticipated. For most stocks, this has

Like many of its FAANG peers, Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) stock has experienced a post-earnings plunge in recent weeks. Following the cloud computing and e-commerce giant’s latest quarterly earnings release, AMZN stock has hit multi-year lows. More or less, the stock has fallen back to price levels last seen at the start of the Covid-19 pandemic. Considering

As interest rates (and the chance of a recession) keep rising, the likelihood we see this bear market in tech stocks continue into 2023 increases. However, while some high-quality, reasonably-priced names in the sector may make for great long-term buys right now, there are quite a few tech stocks to avoid. Despite the significant multiple

In the dumpster fire that is the U.S. stock market in 2022, the Dow Jones Industrial Average is the only one of the major indices that is not currently in a bear market. Year to date, the blue-chip index is down around 10% compared to a 21% decline in the S&P 500 and a 33%

For years, investing in growth stocks was the key to building an incredible long-term portfolio. Investing in such stocks resulted in oversized returns, which enabled investors to build a robust portfolio. However, given the wild market gyrations, growth stocks have dipped to multi-year lows. Though this may seem like an excellent opportunity, it’s more prudent

Although an uncomfortable subject based on financial sensitivities, the topic of Nasdaq stocks to avoid cannot be avoided much longer. To be clear, it’s not so much about the companies specifically. Rather, with the Federal Reserve committed to its hawkish monetary policy, borrowing costs will rise. With that, the incentive for expansion-driven protocols will likely

Suffice it to say, microprocessor manufacturer Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) stock has disappointed its investors for the majority of 2022. However, financial traders went into a feeding frenzy with INTC stock after the company reported its quarterly earnings. They apparently ignored a number of issues that Intel is still facing. Furthermore, one analyst reaffirmed a $20 price target

Financial markets have been in turmoil for the better part of the past six months. The stock market has plunged to new lows as the Federal Reserve tightens the screws with rampant interest rate hikes. That said, this market correction has created multiple opportunities for investors to load up on stocks for the long-haul. However,

When it comes to certain stocks to sell, being overly optimistic can become a liability. No, this is not a popular topic by any means, usually arousing anger among the investing faithful. However, everyone must realize that when it comes to money, it’s best to look out for number one. And if that means dumping

A number of catastrophic headwinds imposed significant volatility, especially for popular tech stocks to buy. Primarily, the dovish monetary policies of the past came to roost this year, sending inflation skyrocketing. Now, the Federal Reserve must unwind prior excesses, resulting in a decline in money stock. Depending on how far the central bank wants to

If there’s one thing we learn in a market crash, it’s that no company is too big to fail. The financial crisis of 2008 had plenty of memorable examples, from Lehman Brothers to Circuit City. But one other legacy of 2008 is that too many investors fixate on “bull markets” and “bear markets” in stocks… Even

Based in New York, Mind Medicine (NASDAQ:MNMD) is a psychedelic-medicine developer that’s sometimes informally known as MindMed. Before investing in this company, it’s important to know that MNMD stock was previously out of compliance with the Nasdaq exchange’s listing requirements. This is a problem that could happen again in the near future. Moreover, Mind Medicine is
