Stocks to sell

I have a bullish view on equities as the world crawls back toward normalcy. However, there can be intermediate corrections even in the most optimistic times. It would therefore make sense to stay away from stocks that are trading at overly stretched valuations. This column will discuss seven stocks to sell into July 2021. First

From a fundamentals perspective, Clover Health (NASDAQ:CLOV) certainly doesn’t look strong. In fact, there are several indications that the CLOV stock share price should trend downward. However, there are other forces at play here which are keeping prices above where they might otherwise be.  Source: Shutterstock Namely, there is currently a massive amount of short

Although there has been some encouraging news about Lordstown Motors (NASDAQ:RIDE) recently, there have not yet been any concrete signs that the automaker can avoid bankruptcy, while RIDE stock remains vastly overvalued. Consequently, I continue to urge investors to sell the shares. Source: Postmodern Studio / Shutterstock.com Moreover, I believe that risk-tolerant investors looking for

When a company becomes the newest darling among retail traders, watch out. I actually like video-game hardware and accessories company Corsair Gaming (NASDAQ:CRSR), but its apparent popularity among Reddit users may be a warning sign for CRSR stock.

Clean Energy Fuels (NASDAQ:CLNE) reminds me of another company that briefly became extremely popular among retail investors: Gevo (NASDAQ:GEVO). The shares of both GEVO stock and CLNE stock are now about 50% off their 52-week highs and have generated mediocre returns in recent weeks , as many investors apparently started to realize that neither of

Is there still hope for Ocugen (NASDAQ:OCGN)? Or are the OCGN stock bulls just delusional? In my view, you can count on the latter. Any way you slice it, this biotech company has little chance of generating big profits — or even big sales — from its Covaxin Covid-19 vaccine candidate. Source: Shutterstock As you

One of the more controversial electric vehicle start-up companies on the market is Nikola (NASDAQ:NKLA).

Red flags popped up almost immediately ranging from a suspicious test roll out in 2020 to a

After Reddit’s subgroup, r/WallStreetBets, sent AMC Entertainment  (NYSE:AMC) flying, the shares have proven to have staying power. AMC stock has hovered near $60 for nearly all of June, and the stock is not too far from its 52-week high.

Rocket Companies (NYSE:RKT) should present investors with a relatively simple proposition. If you believe that the housing market will remain robust, you’re a buyer of RKT stock. If you believe there will be a normalization or pull back, then you’re sitting out. Source: Lori Butcher / Shutterstock.com    So far in 2021, it looks like the latter is occurring. Rocket Companies is the parent

With the power of meme stock fans demonstrably weakening and Clover Health (NASDAQ:CLOV) continuing to face an SEC investigation, the longer-term outlook of CLOV stock remains negative.

Sundial Growers (NASDAQ:SNDL) stock is up 94.9% year-to-date, but there is cause for concern. Source: shutterstock.com/Tunatura SNDL stock has lost 36.8% in the last month. So it seems that the cannabis producer’s Reddit-induced rally is done and dusted. Welcome to the world of Reddit investing, where weakness can become a source of strength. If the

At just under $60 per share, what’s the play with AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC) stock? Is it a buy? Not so fast. Source: viewimage / Shutterstock.com Sure, retail speculators, led by Reddit’s r/WallStreetBets, have so far prevailed against the so-called “smart money” short sellers. On the other hand, in terms of underlying value and long-term prospects,

ContextLogic (NASDAQ:WISH) stock went public last December. After a brief pop, the share price fell to single digits in May. Source: sdx15 / Shutterstock.com It fell because ContextLogic loses money. Its first quarter report showed a loss of $128 million, 21 cents per share, on revenue of $772 million. Losses from operations, $126 million, grew

Workhorse (NASDAQ:WKHS) reported very weak first-quarter results and  appears to have no viable, strong, upcoming, positive catalysts. WKHS stock is in trouble.

I’m sure many investors in AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC) have stopped reading this article just based on the headline. And others are ready to tell me I don’t get it. So let me be clear. When it comes to AMC stock, I understand your point. I just disagree with it.   Source: QualityHD / Shutterstock.com In 2021, AMC stock is at its

Health insurance company Clover Health (NASDAQ:CLOV) went public via the SPAC route in January, and since then, its stock has been on a wild ride. CLOV stock became the latest target of the Reddit retail trading crowd, causing Clover’s share  price to reach new highs.

Shares of once-famed gadget maker BlackBerry (NYSE:BB) were brought back from the dead by the meme stock investors this year. BB stock is appreciating heavy volume again as it appears to be caught up in the retail trading frenzy. One-month returns from the stock are at a staggering 47%. However, the momentum should be short-lived

The outlook of Carnival Corporation (NYSE:CCL) stock has improved in recent weeks, but given the cruise operator’s extremely high debt load and the great amount of uncertainty it continues to face, I still urge investors to sell their shares.

The party’s over once again for Clover Health (NASDAQ:CLOV) stock.

But starting in the spring,

Lordstown Motors (NASDAQ:RIDE) stock is becoming a cautionary tale for many investors in electric vehicle (EV) stocks. Source: Postmodern Studio / Shutterstock.com RIDE stock is down almost 50% in 2021. And that was the case before the company announced that its “backlog” of pre-orders do not represent binding commitment.   That announcement came on the heels of top
