Stocks to sell

Investors of neo-banking firm SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI) jumped for joy after Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell hinted at a less severe interest rate hike this month. SOFI stock spiked, but the party didn’t last long. SoFi Technologies’ shareholders may suffer from a hangover soon as conditions don’t favor the company now. It’s great to be invested

SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI) stock continues to flounder due to recent developments. SOFI stock moved back to penny stock levels after the Biden Administration’s latest extension of the student loan moratorium further delayed a rebound for its now-dormant legacy student loan refinancing business. That’s not all. The fintech firm may be facing headwinds related to another

[Editor’s note: “5 EV Stocks to Sell Before the ‘Great EV Consolidation’” was previously published in September 2022. It has since been updated to include the most relevant information available.] We’ve all heard the saying, “those who don’t know history are destined to repeat it.” But did you know that this saying applies very pertinently

Sometimes, financial traders might choose to cling to an investment when they’ve lost money. It’s not a great idea to try this with Opendoor Technologies (NASDAQ:OPEN) stock, however. Opendoor will have to contend with a weak real estate market. Besides, the company’s financial figures are eye-opening and not in a good way. Opendoor Technologies might

Although commitment through astounding odds stirs the soul, when it comes to stocks that are screaming sells, investors must consider the stone-cold fundamentals. To be clear, this list isn’t about bashing particular securities for the heck of it. Nor do I have anything to gain or lose regarding these companies’ market trajectory. Rather, I’m merely

There may be support for GameStop (NYSE:GME) among the meme-stock crowd, but not everyone’s on the long side of the trade. In fact, a report from Bloomberg indicates that activist investor Carl Icahn has taken a short position against GME stock. Furthermore, due to GameStop’s connections to the rough-and-tumble worlds of cryptocurrency and non-fungible tokens

Meta Materials (NASDAQ:MMAT) stock is in a state of transition – or more accurately, the company is in a state of divestiture. Soon, it will spin off an oil and natural gas business that could have been a significant revenue generator for Meta Materials. Besides, the company is having major financial issues. So, investors shouldn’t

Falling back to $30s, Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) stock has already started to give back its post-earnings gains from earlier this month. This is not surprising. In my view, this extreme move higher for INTC stock after its latest quarterly earnings report made little sense. With this, it appears the market is starting to take off the

While the winter season can sometimes bring out the holiday cheer on Wall Street, certain retail stocks to sell may court trouble. Certainly, it’s not everyone’s favorite topic. However, it’s also unavoidable. With a rough start in 2022, the year just kept worsening via geopolitical flashpoints, skyrocketing inflation and global supply chain disruptions, to name

Stocks across the board have plunged in 2022. Even the seemingly invincible tech giants, such as Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX), have witnessed year-to-date (YTD) declines of over 50%. The crypto market has fallen too, as investors realize that a bet on crypto is essentially a bet on a high-risk asset. The insolvency of FTX drove the price

As we near the end of a horrendous year for the stock market, many investors may want to reassess their portfolios. Accordingly, for many investors, shifting the focus away from the buy list to stocks to sell may be the way forward. Whether you’re a long-term investor or a short-term trader, it’s important to know

Investing in SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI) stock has been akin to riding a rollercoaster. Time and time again, SOFI stock has surged on increased hopes, only to sink on yet another round of disappointment. That’s what has played out this month, with this fintech stock reversing course in a big way, after briefly jumping back above

2022 was a disaster. Over these last 11 months, inflation hit a 40-year high. There were fears of recession. Nearly 63% of U.S. consumers were living paycheck to paycheck. Markets were crushed. Home sales began to fall at the fastest rate in decades. Consumer spending fell. Russia invaded Ukraine. China saw rare unrest over COVID

Many sectors have been damaged in the train wreck of this year’s stock market. But few have been as hard hit as the stocks of financial technology (fintech) companies. These are companies using new technologies to compete with traditional banks and other financial institutions. Think payment apps, online lenders and digital exchanges. Most fintech companies

As the housing downturn continues and looks poised to get worse, it remains best to approach real estate stocks cautiously. Admittedly, the shares of real estate investment trusts (or REITs) and the stocks of other companies involved in the real estate industry, have already fallen considerably, in anticipation of more challenging times ahead. However, many

Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG,NASDAQ:GOOGL) stock might be worth owning at some point in the future, but prospective investors should be skeptical and cautious for now. Alphabet doesn’t rely entirely on advertising revenue, but it’s a significant part of Alphabet’s business. That’s unfortunate during a time of “sticky” inflation. Financial market pundits like to declare that Alphabet is a

Late last month, excitement about an activist shareholder’s involvement with the company was enough to give Salesforce (NYSE:CRM) stock a boost. Yet in the past few weeks, matters far more pertinent to the near-term prospects of CRM stock have come back into focus. Worries about a likely 2023 recession, and its impact on enterprise IT

It has been a bruising year for tech stocks. But not all tech securities are equal. Some have fared much better than others. The current market downturn has exposed many technology companies that have not been able to live up to the hype surrounding them. It has also brought far lower the shares of many

There was a time when it seemed investors couldn’t get enough of electric vehicle stocks. In their euphoria, they bid up shares of established players all the way down to pre-revenue startups to unsustainable heights. Then the bubble burst and EV stocks came crashing down. Amid concerns about demand destruction, range anxiety and the viability

The Dow Jones Industrial Average is a stock index comprised of 30 of the largest, most widely held blue-chip stocks in America. Inclusion in the “Dow 30” is considered to be prestigious and a sign that a company is a leading business. This helps to explain why many of the oldest companies in the U.S.

Penny stocks are much riskier than your average investment. After all, you don’t typically have a share price below $5 without some problems, be it a failing business plan, poor execution by management, etc. Yet, for some investors, the potential rewards outweigh the risks. For those itching to put speculative capital to work, I have

Once again, I drew the short (no pun intended) end of the stick and must discuss stocks to sell right now. Understandably a sensitive topic and one that arouses myriad emotions, I’m just going to stick with the hard numbers. Whether you agree or not is more of a tertiary issue. Primarily, it’s vital that

Without a doubt, the fate of Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) stock rests in the hands of its founder and CEO, Mark Zuckerberg. Going forward, META will have to be on board with Zuckerberg’s insistence on morphing Meta into a metaverse business. Before taking a position, however, financial traders should carefully read the CEO’s seemingly apologetic message to

Although it’s not a topic that everyone loves to hear, the concept of stocks to sell is a necessary one. Fundamentally, with fears of a global recession rising, investors need to start preparing for the worst. Of course, they can target recession-resistant market ideas as an active measure. But sometimes, you just need to cut

Inflation is forcing people to make tough choices in 2022. Nevertheless, the chief executive of audio streaming service Spotify (NYSE:SPOT) is weighing price increases. This could turn out to be a serious misstep. On top of that, investors or would-be investors in SPOT stock need to consider Spotify’s financials, which are subpar even if the company

Like many investors, I’m sure you’ll be more than happy to bid adieu to 2022, and to portfolio laggards. In fact, to help get you started, here are several growth stocks to sell. The end of the year is no time to be sentimental. Instead, it’s time to cut your losses and sell stocks that are

Technology stocks are showing some signs of life with the Nasdaq Composite up nearly 10% over the past four trading days. The renewed interest in growth stocks has been triggered by lower-than-expected inflation readings. The hope is that the Federal Reserve will begin to ease its aggressive rate-hiking campaign. However, the recent data is far

As we look ahead to next year, we must consider which stocks to sell and which opportunities to pursue. This year has been about de-risking portfolios, and that trend will likely continue for the foreseeable future. Stocks have been under duress for several months now, and the trend isn’t going away anytime soon. The Federal

There are many misconceptions about dividend stocks. The conventional wisdom is that dividend stocks are safe investments that provide shareholders with a steady and reliable income stream. To that end, many investors assume that the higher the dividend yield, the better. Not so fast. Often, a high dividend yield is a sign of trouble. Unusually high

When Meta Platforms’ (NASDAQ:META) CEO Mark Zuckerberg changed Facebook’s name in Oct. 2021, it was supposed to breathe new life into one of the biggest tech stocks on the planet. Unfortunately, that’s not what happened at all.  Since late last year, the stock plummeted from about $320 to a recent low of $88.09. Even now,
