Stocks to sell

Some stocks enjoyed incredible runs during this year’s first quarter.

The electric vehicle sector continues to face a litany of issues. Demand dynamics are not what they once were and EV stocks have cratered — along with lithium prices — as a result.  One of the bigger issues is that electric vehicles also face a number of quality control issues. That may come as a

Crude oil prices have been on fire this year with OPEC’s production cuts and the anticipation of interest rate pullbacks. Amidst the bullishness, though, it’s important to be circumspect, which should have investors considering energy stocks to sell in April.

In 2023, consumer staples stocks were down a collective 6.5%, vastly underperforming the broader market. That has made investors bullish about the sector in 2024.

It’s been a tough road for consumer discretionary stocks since the pandemic ended. Sky high inflation, rising interest rates and economic worries have led consumers to tighten their purse strings.

Plug Power (NASDAQ:PLUG) stock is leading the green hydrogen revolution. It has established itself as the only one-stop shop for obtaining fuel cells, electrolyzers and green hydrogen fuel.

February retail sales rose 0.6% from the previous month, despite higher consumer prices, indicating positive consumer sentiment. In addition, the Federal Reserve signaled plans to cut interest rates three times in 2024, potentially leaving consumers with more disposable income.

Investing in the electric vehicle sector has proved to be the right move for those looking to invest in the next big thing, at least in stalwart companies like Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) or BYD Co. (OTCMKTS:BYDDF) over the long-term. Unfortunately for growth investors, companies like Nio (NYSE:NIO) have underperformed. There’s no way around that reality. After

Overvalued stocks can be quite ruinous for portfolios. Even solid companies with high valuations can come crashing down if they don’t meet lofty expectations or if the market’s confidence wanes. Internet infrastructure provider, Fastly (NASDAQ:FSLY), is one example of this. In 2020, many in the IT sector loved the company’s offerings, and Fastly’s sales were
