Stocks to sell

The New York Times published an article on December 11 about how Corporate America is testing the limits of its pricing power. I love the premise.  Here in Canada, where I live, the common refrain from the media and anti-poverty groups is to blame grocery stores for the high cost of goods. The federal government

This wasn’t a blockbuster year for folks who invested in Lucid Group (NASDAQ:LCID) stock. The prospects for Lucid Group next year aren’t promising. The best grade we can give it is a “D” and we’re not recommending it for the new year. Lucid Group is testing its investors’ patience. Stifel analyst Stephen Gengaro argued that Lucid is “two

Electric vehicle manufacturer Nio (NYSE:NIO) had a challenging year in 2023. China’s uneven recovery from Covid-19, waning EV demand and fierce competition in the new-energy vehicle space created problems for Nio. Looking ahead to 2024, investors shouldn’t expect any miracles and NIO stock only deserves a less-than-stellar “D” grade. As you may recall, Nio posted a 4,556.7 million RMB

The future of the U.S. economy appears to be optimistic. The Federal Reserve has signaled a potential shift towards interest rate cuts in the coming year, providing relief to American households grappling with high inflation. Additionally, the Biden administration’s hope for a “soft landing,” characterized by decreasing inflation without a significant increase in unemployment or

At first glance, electric vehicle (EV) battery technology company QuantumScape (NYSE:QS) might sound like a great business to invest in. After all, QS stock moved higher in November and early December. Yet, caution is definitely advised as QuantumScape’s financial shortcomings can’t be ignored. Besides, as we’ll explain today, a prominent analyst firm published a low price

SmileDirectClub (OTCMKTS:SDCCQ) ceased operating on December 8 after it could not restructure through bankruptcy proceedings. The once high-flying provider of dental aligners was one of many at-risk companies entering the final quarter of 2023.  Do you remember all the articles pitting SmileDirect against industry leader Align Technology (NASDAQ:ALGN)? I sure do.  As recently as 2020,

Since the end of October, stocks have rallied tremendously, with the S&P 500 soaring 15% and the Russell 2000 jumping 21%. This huge rebound, brought about by greater confidence in the economy and less trepidation about interest rates, resulted in many drastically overvalued stocks. For long-term, risk-tolerant investors, the latter situation created a good opportunity.

 Growth stocks certainly have legs at the moment and it’s fair to assume that there will be a surge of investment heading into 2024. Demand should be expected to rise as the Federal Reserve continues to signal that the worst is over. The markets are expecting a soft landing and multiple rate cuts in 2024.

As 2023 comes to a close, investors have warmed back up to Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ:RIVN) stock, which has surged back to the low-$20s per share following a November tumble. There is not one set reason this EV play has experienced this latest surge in price. Developments and news that are both company-specific, and more macroeconomic

Dumpster diving can be fun when looking for beaten-down stocks to buy. Many times deeply discounted companies are simply mispriced by the market. Too much importance is placed on a one-time event or a situation that is short-term in nature. It offers investors the classic situation of buying low and selling high. Stocks may be

As the markets soar higher following the Federal Reserve’s latest decision on interest rates, now may be a great time to jettison any dividend stocks to sell from your portfolio. While stocks overall could continue to perform strongly, company-specific factors can result in poor or even negative returns with many high-yield but low-quality dividend plays.

For most of the year, the Russell 2000 has lagged far behind its peers, the S&P500 and the Nasdaq. However, the small-to-mid cap index appears to be closing the gap. After a string of positive economic news indicating U.S. inflation in on its way downward, equities have sustained a rally. In mid-November, it looked like

During the meme stocks rally of 2021, it seemed that all potential meme stocks skyrocketed. The speculative activity peaked, and short-squeeze rallies delivered multi-bagger returns in weeks. The euphoria was, however, short-lived. Investor interest in meme stocks remains high, and there continue to be opportunities to make quick money in the blink of an eye.

Not every stock is a winner. While every investor knows this truth, many people learn this lesson first-hand as some of their stocks end up with net losses. While it’s better to profit from an investment, reporting a loss can reduce your tax burden. Throughout this period, of tax-loss harvesting, here are some stocks to

The bulls look to be firmly in control of the stock market now. The U.S. Federal Reserve has pivoted away from its monetary tightening regime and signaled three interest rate cuts in 2024. However, while the Santa Claus rally now appears in full swing, not every stock is celebrating as we close the year. Some

Penny stocks can be your best friend but also your worst enemy. Although individual pennies often provide lucrative returns, a diversified penny stock portfolio tends to underperform the S&P 500. Therefore, it is essential to revise your penny stock portfolio frequently. Furthermore, fundamental aspects suggest penny stocks may end up under the pump early next year.

The Federal Reserve appears set to pivot toward lower interest rates in 2024. With inflation coming down and financial conditions looking more measured, it could be time for easier monetary policy. That is great news for investments like tech stocks, which have a significant correlation to interest rates. However, investors may be getting ahead of

PayPal (NASDAQ:PYPL) stock definitely hasn’t been a winner in 2023. Does this mean it’s time for bargain hunters to start investing in PayPal? Don’t be too eager, as a famous e-commerce platform just dealt PayPal a blow that the payments processor might not recover from. Don’t assume that 2024 will be better for PayPal stock than

Renewable energy is the future. Amongst renewable energy, solar is one of the most prominent, recently becoming much more accessible to households and producing energy efficiently and for a low cost. The potential solar has as an energy of the future has been widespread, making the solar space one of the fiercest sectors in which

After witnessing the blistering returns of the broader technology index – along with tangentially related risk-on assets like cryptocurrencies – now might seem an unideal time to target overvalued tech stocks to sell. Frankly, it seems the ecosystem just can’t lose. However, that also could be the warning that not all is well. Sure, some
