Stocks to sell

I’m generally the positive type. Still, as I look at the market, the math isn’t on my side. Inflation remains near 40-year highs and yet employment also remains at historically high levels. As a result, the Fed will keep raising interest rates.  So it’s time to think about finding stocks to sell for profits. Here’s

As we start to think about wrapping up 2022, looking to next year and thinking about what the market will provide is exciting. Indeed, this year has been one in which simplifying and de-risking portfolios has been a profitable task. Accordingly, the search for stocks to sell is about as important as the search for

On the surface, there’s a lot to like about CareDX (NASDAQ:CDNA) stock. It’s a company that’s based on a concept you might find intriguing” transplant diagnostics. However, getting from concept to execution, and then profitability, is a different story entirely. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but CDNA stock gets a “D” rating because

This has been a rough year for stocks. Every time the market has tried to bounce, some fresh news has come out, triggering another selloff. With inflation still running hot and the Federal Reserve set for more rate hikes, investors need to be cautious. That said, with the market down this far, there are some

As the bear market rages on, many investors have turned to blue-chip stocks to find safe harbor. Yet, while many blue-chips could add stability and safety to your portfolio (making them stocks to buy), there are plenty of such companies that are best-considered stocks to sell. This is mostly due to valuation concerns. Prior to

In February 2021, at the height of the meme stock phenomenon, Ideanomics (NASDAQ:IDEX) stock traded for as much as $5.53 per share. Today, you can buy IDEX stock for a little more than 25 cents a share, a 95% discount to its multi-year high-water mark. If you’re a risk-hungry investor, this may seem tempting. After

In times like this, it’s best to mitigate your losses by identifying stocks to sell and get rid of the biggest losers in your portfolio. Fortunately, the stock market’s horrendous year is almost over. Unfortunately, that’s only because the calendar is nearing the end of 2022, and not because the market is turning around any

It’s hard to even know where to begin when detailing the difficulties surrounding Carvana’s (NYSE:CVNA) stock. First of all, the company has legal issues to deal with in Michigan and Pennsylvania. Additionally, the U.S. Federal Reserve will probably continue to raise interest rates. These difficulties should cause prospective investors to think twice about buying CVNA stock. To

After sliding for months, Canoo (NASDAQ:GOEV) stock experienced a brief spike in recent days after this early-stage electric vehicle company reported yet another big vehicle order. But before you dive in on the expectation that the situation for this fledgling EV maker will continue to get better, take a minute. Keep in mind that while the

With this year’s stock market downturn, it may seem too late to figure out which stocks to sell. Yet while major indices are down massively from their all-time highs, and scores of individual stocks have experienced far more severe price declines, many stocks still may have a ways to go before reaching their respective “bottoming

The U.S. Department of Labor recently proposed a key rule change that may hurt gig economy stocks. This update will make it tougher for gig employers to treat their workers as independent contractors. In many cases, these companies will be forced to categorize some of their workers as employees. There’s a reason for this rule

As some of the few travel stocks that have failed to fully recover from the pandemic, plenty of investors have tried to bottom-fish in cruise-line names like Carnival (NYSE:CCL) stock. Unfortunately, these contrarian wagers have failed to pan out. Investors who have dabbled in CCL or its peers haven’t reaped substantial gains. Instead, going against

This market downturn has not hit all stocks equally. While the major indices are down between 20% and 35% on the year, many stocks are down 70% or more in 2022. Although it might make sense to hold onto some tried-and-true stocks through the current downturn, there are some securities that investors would be better

California-based electric vehicle (EV) startup Mullen Automotive (NASDAQ:MULN) is trying to succeed in a crowded field. The company needs a catalyst to get ahead of its competition. So far, however, it looks like Mullen is good at spending money but not at turning a profit. Besides, the company’s vehicles don’t seem to offer anything that

Carnival (NYSE:CCL) stock is quite different than it was prior to the Covid-19 pandemic. Long gone are the days when the cruise operator could confidently raise its cruise fares. Getting passengers back on Carnival’s ships during a time a high inflation will be a major challenge. So, even though Carnival showed top-line improvement during its most

I can see why contrarian investors may be interested in XPeng (NYSE:XPEV) stock. Shares in China-based electric vehicle (or EV) companies have fallen out of favor among investors, but the shift in sentiment has been the most dramatic among this particular name. As a result of its extended price decline since June, Xpeng has become

While investors are hoping for a quick end to the current bear market, recent data signals it’s not likely to be over soon. The September core consumer price index, which excludes food and energy prices, hit a 40-year high. This, combined with the fact that the labor market remains strong, nearly guarantees the Federal Reserve

This vicious bear market has spared very few firms in 2022. The S&P 500 has slipped more than 23% so far and it increasingly feels that things are getting worse. The Fed continues to reiterate that it foresees aggressive rate hikes ahead until inflation is brought under control.  Thus, this sort of environment very likely

Since September, excitement for Nio (NYSE:NIO) stock has cooled down again. After surging on analyst upgrades, shares in the China-based electric vehicle (or EV) maker have fallen back considerably, as headwinds in its home market weigh on shares. Nio is being indirectly affected by the myriad of challenges the Chinese economy is now facing. More directly,

With reasonable valuations, and the possibility of steady returns via high dividends, telecom stocks can be very appealing to investors. Yet while you may be interested in adding names from this sector to your portfolio (especially during today’s high market volatility), there are plenty of telecom stocks to sell and/or avoid. Most of these telecom
