Stocks to sell

Chinese tech stocks have been having a dreadful summer. The cause of the selling is clear: Beijing is making major power moves. A month ago, China shocked investors by declaring that its for-profit education industry would no longer be allowed to operate. Education firms will need to transition to non-profit roles or shut down services

Investors were already selling Skillz (NYSE:SKLZ) stock before the company posted quarterly earnings results on Aug. 3.

At these levels, investors might think the stock has less risk and more

On Sept. 1, Zoom Video (NASDAQ:ZM) stock was executing a “dead cat bounce.” As in, even a dead cat will bounce if thrown from high enough up.

Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) stoc has pulled back from the all-time highs after a red-hot run post-earnings. Source: Sundry Photography / Shutterstock.com NVDA stock traded just past the $230 level before ultimately losing momentum. Certainly, some of the rally was warranted given the earnings beat and dovish Fed speak from Jackson Hole. The relentless rally has now

Since before Robinhood (NASDAQ:HOOD) stock went public a month ago, the phrase “Robinhood stock” has been part of the vocabulary.

But after looking at its June quarter earnings report and what has

Short squeeze stocks are no new phenomenon. But so far this year, thanks to the potent combination of meme stocks and Reddit trading? It’s been an easy way for retail investors to make fast trading profits. Between AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC), Clover Health (NASDAQ:CLOV), GameStop (NYSE:GME) and many others, quick to the punch Main Street traders

Jumia Technologies AG (NYSE:JMIA) stock’s movement earlier in 2021 can be described in just three words. Pump and dump. Source: Christopher Penler / Shutterstock.com Sounds familiar? It should. If not, here’s a quick reminder. Wikipedia mentions that it “involves artificially inflating the price of an owned stock through false and misleading positive statements, to sell

My feelings about DiDi Global Inc. (NYSE:DIDI) can probably be summed up by saying it’s riskier than a new driver tackling “Death Road.” Otherwise known as the North Yungas Road in Bolivia, it’s one of the most dangerous roads on earth. As Lookers states in an article, “It has been estimated that around 200-300 people

In prior articles on Clover Health (NASDAQ:CLOV) stock, I’ve been bearish on this name still popular with the Reddit trading community.

“The future of sports is electronic. The future of sports is mobile. The future of sports is now.” This is what Skillz Inc. (NYSE:SKLZ) says in a video about how it works. But if this is the future of sports, then why did SKLZ stock fall over 45% year to date to Monday’s close of

Gaming platform Roblox (NYSE:RBLX) is facing reopening obstacles. The engagement on its platform in North America, where economies are opening, was down 9% last quarter versus the same period a year earlier. Moreover, its disappointing second-quarter results suggest that it will face challenges going forward. Though the firm has a healthy growth outlook, its bloated

The U.S. public and the market are belatedly realizing that the Delta variant of the coronavirus is not very dangerous, especially to those who are vaccinated and won’t stay in the U.S. for many months. Consequently, now is not a good time to buy highly valued stocks that thrive when consumers stay at home more.

This is certainly an odd economy. On one hand, the delta variant is a dark shadow over how long economic expansion lasts. On the other, the economy is booming and oil stocks have gone from zeros to heroes in the past year. The S&P Global Oil Index, which measures the performance of 120 of the

DiDi Global (NYSE:DIDI) could easily fall quite significantly to the value of just its non-China operations, plus its net cash (as long as that cash is not in China). This is because Chinese regulators have placed the company under dire restrictions. If that happens, I estimate that DIDI stock would be worth no more than

Right now everyone loves Square (NASDAQ:SQ) stock. Source: Jonathan Weiss / Shutterstock.com The company only came public in 2015, at a market cap of $2.9 billion. Today that number is right around $124 billion. At its current value Square is the third most valuable payment outfit, behind only MasterCard (NYSE:MA) and Visa (NYSE:V). But it

How far can a small medical devices company take a celebrity endorsement? The shares of veterinary diagnostics company Zomedica (NYSEAMERICAN:ZOM) surged after an endorsement from Tiger King celebrity Carole Baskin. In response, meme traders bid ZOM stock up sharply. Since the short interest in ZOM stock is high, the news created a dramatic short squeeze. Source:

Clover Health (NASDAQ:CLOV) has been one of the year’s biggest disappointments. The so-called King of SPACs (special purpose acquisition companies), Chamath Palihapitiya, took the health insurer public via one of his Social Capital Hedosophia SPACs. CLOV stock shares almost immediately tumbled after short sellers revealed that it had failed to disclose a government investigation into

Outlier Covid-19 vaccine play Ocugen (NASDAQ:OCGN) stock has been on a negative run in the past three months, losing about 17% of its value.

If you think Carnival (NYSE:CCL) and CCL stock is a good bet at almost $24, you might want to think again. Covid-19 is still very much still an “unwanted passenger” on its cruise ships. As a result, a resumption to pre-pandemic cruising — as well as improvements in the CCL stock price — seem like they’re

This is my first time writing about Novavax (NASDAQ:NVAX) and the more I learn about the company, I can’t help but think about Inception, the Leonardo DiCaprio movie about dreams within dreams. A lot of the discussion around Novavax’s Covid-19 vaccine feels like living in that film’s impossible dream worlds. People buying NVAX stock are believing
