Stocks to sell

With the stock market in red-hot form, it’s time to consider offloading some overvalued stocks. The U.S. stock market picked up from where it left off last year, wrapping up a robust first-quarter (Q1), fueled by economic optimism and anticipated interest rate cuts. As the saying goes, not all that glitters is gold.  Many stocks

Many stocks fail to deliver on investor promises every year, and this year is no different. Many analysts attribute the poor performance of certain stocks to the worsening economic situation, but reports of international disputes have also contributed to it. With market pressures and geopolitical conflicts at an all-time high, analysts have advised investors to

U.S. industrial output continues to accelerate. After a downturn during the pandemic, industrial manufacturing has come storming back. The latest data from the U.S. Federal Reserve showed that U.S. factory output rose sharply in May of this year. Industrial production rose by 0.9% in May from April. That was the strongest reading this year and

The stock market continues to climb. But in this case, a rising tide isn’t necessarily lifting all boats. In fact, high interest rates, geopolitics and a challenging macroeconomic environment have created several problems for many firms. Make no mistake: Many companies are facing severe problems trying to navigate the current landscape. Traders are looking to

There are many dividend stocks that make for great long-term investments, but conversely, there are many dividend stocks to sell before they wreak havoc on your portfolio. The prospect of steady, cash-based returns is one of the main areas of appeal with dividend stocks, particularly high-yield dividend stocks. However, these payouts can be outweighed by

GameStop (NYSE:GME) held its delayed annual meeting for shareholders on Monday, June 17. The anticipation was palpable. Originally scheduled for June 13, the meeting had to be postponed because the livestream attracted so much attention it crashed the host’s servers. The rescheduled meeting, however, was a let down. CEO Ryan Cohen spoke briefly, espoused generalities

Roaring Kitty brought meme stocks back to life. His first post in three years in mid-May caused GameStop (NYSE:GME) shares to triple in value almost overnight.

The tech sector is filled with stocks that outperformed the stock market. This sector also has a large presence in the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite.

The Federal Reserve signaled it may make one cut in interest rates this year. Although it left rates unchanged after its most recent Federal Open Market Committee meeting, its post-meeting statement said the following. “In recent months, there has been modest further progress toward the Committee’s 2 percent inflation objective.” That gives analysts hope we

Thanks to the insanity of retail investors, GameStop (NYSE:GME) has raised $3 billion in GameStop stock over the past few weeks. It will probably be invested in other companies.  Whether any of this makes any sense or not, the company’s news release from June 11 confirmed that it generated $2.14 billion in gross proceeds from

How long can the tech stock rally continue? For almost two years now, growth companies have seen their share prices skyrocket amid breakthrough discoveries in fields such as AI and semiconductors.

Understanding when to sell a particular stock might be as important in investing as when to acquire it. Here, the focus is on identifying stocks to sell during market downturns, as it is crucial to mitigate potential financial risks when investing.

Back in May, sitting U.S. President Joe Biden announced he would be quadrupling tariffs on Chinese solar imports among other technologies and commodities like electric vehicles, batteries and steel. The move signals an increasingly cooling relationship between the world’s first and second largest economies but has also underlined a group of Chinese solar stocks to

Despite progress, the electric vehicle (EV) industry still relies upon subsidies and tax incentives to increase adoption. These monies counter the high cost of batteries that put EVs above the price of average gasoline-powered cars. Given these economic dependencies, investors might consider evaluating their portfolios for EV stocks to sell, especially those companies most vulnerable

As the world transitions towards a cleaner energy future, hydrogen stocks have gained attention from investors. However, not all hydrogen companies are thriving. Despite the industry’s potential, some stocks are struggling and may be worth selling. While hydrogen plays a crucial role in decarbonization efforts, the sector remains speculative and risky compared to more established

A dead cat bounce is when a falling stock sees a short-term recovery, but is ultimately likely to head lower. It comes from the idea that “even a dead cat will bounce if it falls from a great height.” The stock market does not move in a straight line, and there are many ups and

This month’s update to MarketMaster AI’s top 500 stocks to buy comes with few surprises on the “buy” end.

Multiple signs are indicating that the U.S. economy’s “higher for longer” interest rates are starting to take a greater toll on the country’s housing market. First, last month the number of homes for sale whose prices were reduced came in at nearly 278,000, according to the Federal Reserve. That represented the highest level since October

AI is the hottest thing in stocks right now. Nvidia’s (NASDAQ:NVDA) historic bull run, thanks to its AI-friendly business, is proof of this.  As a result, many companies are looking to dabble in AI to capitalize off the phenomenon. However, not every such company is having such uninterrupted success as the graphic chips maker. That

Palantir Technologies (NYSE:PLTR) is a bona fide AI growth story, and Palantir stock is an AI play with substance, not just one built upon hype. As seen with recent results, the enterprise software company is firing on all cylinders, capitalizing on the rise adoption of generative artificial intelligence. For now, this strong growth story is
