Stocks to sell

Is First Republic Bank (NYSE:FRC) stock a bargain just because is has cratered in 2023? Don’t be too eager to invest in First Republic Bank now.

While electric vehicles may be the future of transportation, I’m afraid these EV stocks to avoid might not make the cut. Fundamentally, as a burgeoning sector, the price for entry for arguably most consumers is simply too steep. With a smaller addressable market for a wide array of competitors, it’s inevitable that many if not

Charles Schwab (NYSE:SCHW) (commonly-known as just Schwab) has been a reputable financial institution for many years. However, the recent banking crisis has taken a toll on SCHW stock. While Schwab probably won’t go bankrupt anytime soon, investors should still prepare for negative share-price pressure in the near term. The troubles that befell SVB Financial Group (OTCMKTS:SIVBQ) subsidiary Silicon

ESG stocks have become very popular over the past few years. This comes as investors are increasingly concerned about the environmental, social, and governance aspects of the companies they put their money behind.

Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ:RIVN) stock is once again moving lower, on the “news” a bearish research note from UBS’s Patrick Hummel. In the report, Hummel argues that the U.S. is on the verge of an automobile glut. With supply chain bottlenecks easing, automakers across-the-board are increasing production, even as demand is at the risk of cooling,

The energy sector had a blockbuster year in 2022, and actually turned out to be the best-performing sector overall. Thus far, 2023 has not played out well for investors in this sector, with energy stocks falling 4.23%, based on the S&P Global 1200 Energy index. Those negative returns contrast poorly with the broader S&P 500, which

Much like the internet defined the first 10 years of the 21st century, electric vehicles may be the story of the next decade. In 2020 and 2021, any stock with exposure to electric vehicles, no matter how tertiary, took off with the thought that this time would be different. But in 2023, this is a

With the movie-theater sector continuing to face very tough challenges and AMC (NYSE:AMC) still carrying a tremendous debt load, AMC stock remains tremendously overvalued, and its long-term outlook is terrible. Theaters Are Still Struggling In line with my previous predictions, movie theaters are struggling, even though the coronavirus pandemic is in the rearview mirror. Since

Following last month’s banking crisis, investors are on the prowl for bargains among financial stocks. When searching for low-priced bank stocks on a screener, Ally Financial (NYSE:ALLY) stock is likely to pop up.

Identifying tech stocks to avoid is as important as discovering the next big winners in the current volatile stock market. After a turbulent 2022 for tech stocks, with the sector, most of the gains achieved in 2021, the first quarter of 2023 has brought a surprising turnaround. Outperforming the broader market, most tech companies have

When business-news outlets make bankruptcy predictions, no sector gets more attention than the retail industry.  I’m not sure why that is. Companies from various industries and sectors file for Chapter 11  protection. The focus on bankrupt retailers just boils down to most of us understanding and frequenting stores. I googled “potential bankruptcies,” and the first

Artificial intelligence (AI) is one of the most significant technological advancements of recent years. And it could very well have the potential to disrupt global industries. Granted, the potential multi-billion-dollar industry is exciting to watch, but it could also eventually and easily pose a threat to millions of jobs and industries. At the highest risk are

‘Fallen angel’ stocks, or stocks that have fallen far from their past highs, can be tempting as possible contrarian buys. Yet while there are sometimes diamonds in the rough among these names, for the most part, it’s best to consider them stocks to sell. Why? While Mr. Market may not get it right 100% of the

When I last wrote about Bed Bath & Beyond (NASDAQ:BBBY) earlier this month, I talked mainly about the struggling retailer’s recent financing transaction with Hudson Bay Capital Management, and what it meant for BBBY stock in the future. In a nutshell, I argued that Hudson Bay was making an asymmetric wager on favorable terms, yet

It may be tempting to invest in customer relationship management (CRM) software specialist Salesforce (NYSE:CRM) right now. Yet, caution is advised, as CRM stock isn’t a bargain at all.

Greg Becker, the head of Silicon Valley Bank, sold nearly $30 million in stock in the two years leading up to the regional bank’s collapse.

Investors are always looking for a good bargain. And companies whose share prices have plunged can represent great buying opportunities if conditions are right. But there are some stocks to avoid at any price given their operating losses and flawed business models. Traders tolerated large losses in recent years if a company seemingly had a

Finding stable companies in a market downturn is vital to an investment portfolio. With Federal Reserve rates climbing to their highest levels since 2007 and the recent banking crisis, safe and robust companies are critical. These three companies have stocks to avoid based on their recent earnings misses and the overall economic outlook. Bed Bath

For Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN) and Coinbase stock, the signs of impending doom could hardly be stronger or more obvious. The Securities and Exchange Commission has crippled other crypto exchanges that, like Coinbase, have defied it, and the agency has issued multiple warnings that it will take similar steps against Coinbase. Through many actions and statements, the Biden administration

In the aftermath of this month’s banking crisis, plenty of financial stocks appear appealing. However, far from bargains, many of these stocks are to be considered dividend stocks to avoid. Despite recent moves to rescue distress institutions, don’t assume this banking crisis is close to resolution. More firms could be direct/indirectly affected, resulting in further
