Stocks to sell

In past years, the media and social media have highlighted so-called meme stocks repeatedly. However, this trend can be hazardous for individuals who need more financial literacy and are supposed to be responsible long-term investors. They may need proper knowledge to build a diversified portfolio and adhere to an investment plan. Stock speculation is a

There’s no denying that electric vehicle battery technology company QuantumScape (NYSE:QS) is an early mover in a high-conviction niche industry. QS stock investors have every right to be excited about QuantumScape’s advancements in developing solid-state lithium batteries. QuantumScape’s path to product commercialization doesn’t seem to have any end in sight. Financial traders should remain cautious for

Block (NYSE:SQ), parent company of online payment processor Square, has been the subject of many headlines in recent weeks, and not for the best of reasons. Accusations from a prominent short-seller (Hindenburg Research), while not necessarily proven, have attracted a lot of attention and placed pressure on SQ stock. However, if you believe that these

On the surface, SoFi’s (NASDAQ:SOFI) first-quarter results looked quite good. In fact, the company delivered beat-and-raise earnings which tend to thrill investors. But since the lender reported the results on May 1, the shares have tumbled 18%. There appears to be a specific reason for the decline, and the issue could be a huge red

I’m usually a big fan of tech stocks. The tech sector enjoyed huge returns from 2016 to 2021, as seen by the tech-heavy Nasdaq composite’s gain of more than 200%. And even though the sector has been down since those heady days, I’m not ready to write off the entire sector. You have to know

Are we heading for a semiconductor stocks crash? It’s increasingly looking that way. After the semiconductor shortages of 2021 and 2022, the pendulum has swung sharply in the other direction. People have gone back to school, returned to the office, and so on, alleviating the need for so much extra computing technology at home. Meanwhile,

John Chen, the CEO of BlackBerry (NYSE:BB), is highly optimistic about the company, but that’s to be expected. Unfortunately for BB stock investors, BlackBerry’s fiscal data doesn’t show that the company is successfully transitioning into a modern technology business of the 2020s. It feels like a million years ago that former President Barack Obama had

As was widely expected, the U.S. Federal Reserve again raised interest rates, lifting its key rate by 25 basis points to a range of 5% to 5.25%. Interest rates in America are now at their highest level in 16 years. While higher rates might tame inflation in the long run, they are likely to slow

Block (NYSE:SQ), formerly known as Square, has multiple weaknesses and is facing a few very tough threats. Among the firm’s weaknesses are steep competition and potential share losses due to the growth of e-commerce. And on the threats front, the company is vulnerable to a likely collapse of the crypto sector and a regulatory crackdown

Block (NYSE:SQ), the payment processor formally known as Square, is down 7% on the year while shares in other payment processors, like Visa (NYSE:V), are up. Most of the damage was done by a March 24 report from short seller Hindenburg Research. The report claimed 40%-75% of Block’s users were fake, involved in fraud, or

When it comes to Lucid Group (NASDAQ:LCID) right now, all eyes are on the electric vehicle company’s upcoming earnings release on May 8. Some may be optimistic, but many are concerned that the release will result in LCID stock tanking. InvestorPlace contributor David Moadel sees this happening, as he argued last month. Mainly, because Lucid’s disappointing

Artificial intelligence (AI) stocks are one of the hottest trends of the year, and with good reason. Almost every week, it seems, we see some exciting new development with AI-powered text, images and even animation. But amid the hype, there are a number of overvalued AI stocks that are ripe for a sell-off. AI is

Henrik Fisker, CEO of electric vehicle manufacturer Fisker (NYSE:FSR), declared that his company has a “unique business model.” However, it’s not a proven business model yet. FSR stock looks risky in 2023 as Fisker’s ambitious goals don’t ensure financial or operational success in the U.S. or abroad. Fisker’s “unique” business model involves getting the Ocean electric

I have good news and bad news for the owners of Lucid (NASDAQ:LCID) stock. On the one hand, I’m pleased with the company’s decision to launch a unique electric vehicle, as I believe that being unique is one way to succeed in an extremely competitive niche. And there’s no doubt that the luxury EV sedan

One of the main draws of investing in a big company is security, so companies with a flimsy growth story or questionable financials make for blue-chip stocks to avoid. While a lot of the blue-chips out there come with somewhat of a too big to fail caveat, there are plenty that will be a drag

While not the most comfortable topic to discuss, with the fifth month of the year upon us, it’s time to discuss stocks to sell in May. If you’ve been around the market for a while, you probably heard the phrase, “Sell in May and Go Away.” It refers to the underlying month being a historically

China-based electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer Nio (NYSE:NIO) has fierce competition, including from the likes of automotive giant Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA). It’s going to be difficult for NIO stock investors to succeed this year, as Nio remains inflexible on EV prices. Plus, Nio’s margins are down, but the company’s capital outlays are rising sharply. Not all of the news

If you’re considering buying shares of electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer Mullen Automotive (NASDAQ:MULN) now, you have a lot to think about. It’s certainly encouraging that Mullen has a contract with the government of Washington, D.C. On the other hand, Mullen Automotive’s recent press release about possible stock manipulation is alarming. All in all, cautious investors

Given the S&P 500’s 7.3% year-to-date advance and the threat of a recession in the second half of the year or early 2024, overvalued S&P 500 stocks are more prevalent than investors realize.   At the end of February, JPMorgan Chase strategists suggested that because of real interest rates, stocks were 2.5 times too expensive. “Risk-reward for

A month ago, it appeared as if GameStop (NYSE:GME) was more-than-able to hold on to its post-earnings gains from March, with GME stock holding tight in the low-$20s per share before making its next move higher. Unfortunately, that’s not how the situation has played out. Shares in the “meme stock king” have in recent weeks
