Stocks to sell

Pharmaceutical stocks are trailing the market this year. So far in 2023, the Dow Jones U.S. Select Pharmaceuticals Index is down 5.4% while all three major indices are positive on the year. The declining investor interest in pharma stocks is a sharp reversal from the pandemic when the shares of many leading drugmakers were sitting

Just as all cheap houses aren’t a good buy, not all cheap stocks provide good value. Houses can have structural issues, such as a leaky roof or a broken HVAC system, or be in flood zones. Value stocks can lose market share, have legal problems, or be in doomed industries. After all, knowing what could

Without a doubt, it’s part of the management’s job at electric vehicle manufacturer Mullen Automotive (NASDAQ:MULN) to promote the company to investors. Yet, this doesn’t mean you have to buy what they’re selling. MULN stock is, I believe, bound for lower prices despite the management’s attempts to put a positive spin on a hopeless situation.

The stock market has enjoyed a surprising rally to start 2023. The Nasdaq Composite is up by almost 30% year-to-date; many stocks have jumped alongside it. While this price movement has rewarded long-term investors, it has resulted in many overvalued growth stocks.  Holding onto reliable stocks can yield long-term returns, but investors endure weeks and months

QuantumScape (NYSE:QS) briefly spiked earlier this month, but since then QS stock has coughed back these gains, and for a good reason. QS moved on misperceived good news, but the market has wised up. Investors now seem to share my view that this news is potentially harmful for QuantumScape’s long-term prospects. If that’s not bad

After losing its mojo during the last several years, Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) stock really wants to get back in the groove. That’s easier said than done, though. As Intel seeks to establish multiple chip-fabrication factories, INTC stock should wonder how much this will cost and whether Intel can really succeed in a competitive field. Intel devolved from

The stock market has been surging lately. And, in conjunction, stocks at risk of short selling are also rising as traders look to take advantage of overpriced securities. These three high short interest stocks are ones to avoid. Oftentimes, traders look at short interest as a bullish signal, as it could lead to a squeeze.

Amidst the tumultuous financial markets, one can’t help but cast a wary eye on troubled businesses. These firms are making headlines for all the wrong reasons, keeping investors up at night and questioning their investment decisions. Despite their best attempts at damage control, leaving a lasting impression of unease. This has led to the rise

This year has been a boon for the tech-laden Nasdaq index and tech stocks as a whole. However, most of the growth in tech stocks was concentrated in a few key industries. Cloud names were soaring early this year, but the artificial intelligence (AI) companies ballooned in record-breaking fashion. Most top AI tech stocks trade

There’s nothing inherently wrong with rival automotive manufacturers making deals. Thus, it’s perfectly fine that electric vehicle manufacturer Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ:RIVN) has a charging-network agreement with Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA). Still, RIVN stock traders need to be careful. The deal with Tesla doesn’t solve Rivian’s other problems, especially in the area of revenue versus expenditures. There’s also a

Investing legend Peter Lynch once noted, “Insiders might sell their shares for any number of reasons, but they buy them for only one: they think the price will rise.” He said that to suggest investors should ignore the noise that surrounds insider selling. Instead, focus on what they’re buying. That’s a much better indicator of

Without a doubt, life is difficult for EV start-ups. Creating automobiles is a complex and challenging process, even under the most favorable conditions. Indeed, the design, development, manufacturing, and marketing of electric vehicles is a process fraught with potential pitfalls for a given company and its investors. Many EV start-ups face unique challenges due to

QuantumScape (NASDAQ:QS) is a battery start-up which has seen extreme volatility in recent years. A play on solid-state battery technology, QuantumScape provides investors with a much more speculative potential earnings curve than its EV peers. In the previous bull market rally, QuantumScape achieved a remarkable $54 billion valuation. This valuation was driven by its solid-state

Since the pandemic onset, student loan payments have paused, with interest rates at 0%. However, these payments will restart in late August, affecting consumer spending. This has led to the rise of stocks to avoid when loan payments resume. Student loan borrowers will face increased monthly expenses. Some may need to reduce spending, impacting certain

If you want to own a stock that will give you direct exposure to the growth of artificial intelligence, Qualcomm (NASDAQ:QCOM) stock probably shouldn’t be your first choice. Frankly, Qualcomm hasn’t impressed investors lately even if the company’s stock looks like a “good value.” Qualcomm isn’t a terrible company, by any means. Yet, we want to

In the investing world, large investors such as hedge funds and private equity firms carry tremendous power to make or break a company. When a small or micro-cap stock gets backing from some large investment entity, it typically causes a massive shift in the company outlook. It gets eyes on it from prominent retail investors

Given the riskier and more speculative nature of small-cap stocks, if you own a stock in this category, it’s important to keep an eye out for signs that said name has become one of the small-cap stocks to sell. A key warning sign to look out for is insider selling. That is the selling of

The meme stock craze was an exciting and crazy time for investors. Fortunes were seemingly won and lost as retail traders pushed the shares of struggling companies to unsustainable levels through coordinated short squeezes. Professional short sellers on Wall Street lost billions of dollars and some were pushed to the brink of collapse by the

Companies within the tech sector have been a real draw for investors for a long time. Stocks like Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META), Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), and Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT), which are all in the tech sector, are some of the most popular companies trading in the U.S. The upside for the tech sector keeps improving with the application of generative AI.

China-based electric vehicle manufacturer Nio (NYSE:NIO) is finally waking up to the idea that vehicle price cuts could be a winning strategy. Nio’s management doesn’t seem to think that battery swapping should be a free service. Nio’s pricing policy changes shouldn’t inspire confidence in NIO stock traders. I don’t always agree with analysts. However, I agree
