The industry is witnessing a mixed bag of fortunes in the dynamic world of online streaming.

The biotech segment is one of the most potent, boasting an impressive Compounding Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 13.96% until 2030. However, investing in biotech stocks also bears immense risk, as companies’ performance relies heavily on drug approvals.

The gig economy is still going strong in 2024. It’s also growing three times faster than the U.S. workforce as a whole, which is pretty cool. In the U.S., this means that by 2027, more than half of the people who work will have gig economy jobs. The fast rise makes it easier for job workers to

Earnings season can have an outsized impact on a company’s share price, which means considering stocks to sell before earnings reports are released. Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) reports great subscriber growth and its stock jumps 12% higher. 3M (NYSE:MMM) issues weak forward guidance, and its stock falls 10%. Given the big swings in share prices caused by

It’s one thing to make an investment that doesn’t work out. No one gets every call right. It’s another thing to keep holding on or doubling down as a company spirals toward irrelevancy. In the stock market, there is no virtue to hanging onto shares of a company that’s a lost cause. The following three

Artificial Intelligence (AI) garnered incredible attention in 2023 with the launch of OpenAI’s ChatGPT and other generative AI applications. What would later be dubbed the “AI craze” led to the rise of AI stocks with market-crushing returns — and some AI stocks to sell. Overall, AI-related stocks largely performed well last year.

Once seen as a high-risk and high-reward bet, Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) has turned into an absolute behemoth in the stock market. Valued as a large chunk of the North American auto sector, this is a company that’s proven electric vehicles can become popular and take share away from the incumbents. This will have important implications for

The basic materials sector features companies that discover, develop, and process raw materials. These are frequently companies that deal in commodities that are cyclical and can be more volatile than the broader market. Because commodities are subject to the law of supply and demand there are always several basic materials stocks to sell or buy.  

The last time I wrote about QuantumScape (NYSE:QS), a developer of solid-state batteries for electric vehicles, was in May 2022. At the time, QS stock traded at $15. It’s now less than half that.  My article discussed how nickel could become less important to produce these batteries. Interestingly, the metal could be replaced by iron,

Lucid Group (NASDAQ:LCID) is among the top EV stocks many investors are focused on. The company’s focus on making high-quality EVs is certainly appealing, and is one of the reasons I initially dove into this stock.

Maybe you’ve fallen for the hype and it’s time to think about which stocks to sell. It’s easy to get excited about a stock with massive potential, or one that seems like everyone is talking about.

Nio Inc (NYSE:NIO) is a Chinese EV company focused on the premium segment. Its stock has fallen almost 90% from its all-time highs in 2021 and is still over 37% below its IPO price.  Year-to-date, the stock has fallen over 25%. At its current price, it looks like it’s trading at a discount. But here

It appears that interest rates have peaked, at least for this part of the economic cycle.

Not surprisingly, investors are looking at companies affected

In recent times, crude oil traded at highs of $95 in September 2023. However, as contractionary monetary policies impacted global growth, crude has declined. It’s unlikely that oil will witness further correction from current levels of $75. Therefore, it’s a good time to look at some of the best energy stocks to buy. Coming to

The Magnificent Seven stocks really pulled the brakes in the first week of 2024. Fast forward to today (three trading weeks down, less than one to go), and most Magnificent Seven members are flying higher again. That said, not all Magnificent Seven names have been able to stay too magnificent on a year-to-date basis, and

Amidst the turbulent seas of the stock market, the U.S. is facing a storm. The recent surge in December 2023 retail sales cast a shadow over the hopes of early interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve this year. The unlikely robustness in consumer spending sent shockwaves through the market, pushing the 10-year Treasury yield

SoFi’s (NASDAQ:SOFI) competition continues to be strong, while its valuation is quite high and it is likely to be meaningfully hurt by actions taken by the Biden administration now and in the future. Given these points, I recommend that investors sell SOFI stock. Tough Competition On the consumer loan front, SoFi faces steep competition from

If you’re wondering which AI stocks to sell, look no further. Artificial intelligence (AI) continues to be a key driver for the stock market. The tech-focused Nasdaq 100 Index is currently at an all-time high. This is due in large part to investors remaining excited about the potential of AI to remodel society and businesses.
