Stocks to sell

When Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRK-A, NYSE:BRK-B) CEO Warren Buffett loads up on a stock, you might be tempted to do what he does. That’s understandable, as Buffett is a legendary investor. However, there’s a red flag with Snowflake (NYSE:SNOW) that prospective shareholders must consider, so don’t over-leverage yourself on SNOW stock. Snowflake is a cloud computing company

Until recently Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ) stock was the most conservative investment you could make in the drugs space. It still is, but that’s no longer a compliment. There’s a lot more risk in it since it spun off its consumer business as Kenvue (NYSE:KVUE) on August 23. Since then JNJ stock is down 5%,

October is renowned for its potential to unsettle investors with significant market drops, a trend that continues from the previous month. Indeed, while certain stocks have shown an ability to weather volatility, some falling stocks are down and could still see greater declines. Here are three such stocks that have been down significantly recently and

The debt woes facing corporate America are real, as indicated by an increase in debt defaults. In July, Business Insider reported that 55 U.S. companies had defaulted within the first six months of the year, 53% higher than a year earlier.    “A tougher credit environment combined with a full-blown recession could result in nearly a

The oil market has been on a roller coaster ride in the past few years, with prices fluctuating wildly due to various factors such as pent-up travel demand post-COVID and geopolitical tensions between Western nations and Russia. While crude oil prices are expected to rebound in the second half of 2023, thanks to OPEC+ production cuts

CNBC personality Jim Cramer is one of the most-watched stock gurus on TV. He hosts the network’s “Mad Money” and “Squawk on the Street” shows. He also was a co-founder of TheStreet.com. That platform makes him a lightning rod for critiques about his stock picks. An exchange traded fund (ETF) that tracked his stock picks

Investors should pay attention to stocks to sell just as much as those to buy because preserving your capital is one of the most essential rules profitable investors follow. While certain companies are trading at a discount, that’s because they are, essentially, doomed, meaning your investments would drop substantially. Investors should focus on putting their

If you’re looking for streaming stocks to sell, Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) might have tipped its hand recently about its plans for the future.   The Wall Street Journal reported on October 3rd that NFLX was looking to raise the price of its ad-free streaming tier once the actor’s strike ends. That’s a common theme right now. All

Generally speaking, investors only consider price appreciation when it comes to making profits in the stock market, but it is also profitable to look for stocks to short as falling share prices create a lot of opportunity. Buy shares from a broker and sell them in anticipation that they fall in price. When they do,

I know what you’re thinking. It’s far too late to be figuring out which metaverse stocks to sell. The buzz and hype surrounding the metaverse or integrating the real and virtual worlds (via virtual reality/augmented reality technology) peaked quite a while ago. The “metaverse bubble,” which took shape in late 2021, peaked not that long

The meme stock craze is, thankfully for many, behind us. What was an incredible run in 2021 has given way to outright declines for most heavily-traded and heavily-shorted meme stocks. In fact, no companies have held their 2021 highs, moving even higher last year or this year, on subsequent rallies. For many investors, this flash

Solar stocks have been under pressure in 2023 as the global energy landscape has shifted. The resurgence of fossil fuels, especially natural gas, has made renewable energy sources less competitive and attractive. The rising cost of capital has also weighed on the solar industry, which relies heavily on debt financing and subsidies. In this challenging

Inherently an uncomfortable topic, the concept of stocks to sell arouses significant emotions. Much like sports fans hearing criticisms about their favorite team, a sense of honor is perceived to be violated. Therefore, few investment writers enjoy talking about this subject. But what if the call is coming from inside the house? What I’m referring

It always makes sense to take a look at your portfolio for weak stocks so sell. Fall nights are getting a little cooler as we barrel into the fourth quarter. While portfolios still have more work to do in 2023, it’s not too late to start considering what your portfolio will look like in 2024,

The past few years have seen several breakthroughs in the field of weight-loss drugs, as the FDA moved to approve two new medications that promise to help people shed pounds without major side effects. These drugs, called Liraglutide and Semaglutide, work by mimicking a hormone that regulates appetite and blood sugar levels, and they can

The price of West Texas Intermediate oil has retreated slightly from its recent high of $91.48, which was the most elevated price for the commodity since November 2022. As of the morning of Sept. 26, WTI oil was changing hands around $88.67. At that high level, oil prices hurt many companies, including airlines and cruise

We’re all too familiar with this month’s catchphrase – “higher for longer.” The Fed’s promise to keep rates up through (potentially) 2026 spooked investors, and markets reacted accordingly. The S&P 500 fell by almost 5% since the announcement, but more pain could be ahead.  Higher rates pose a risk to stocks on two primary tenets.

I have been skeptical about QuantumScape (NYSE:QS) stock for a while. Still, I see why some investors buy QS stock despite a vague commercialization timeline, high cash burn, and the risk of further shareholder dilution. All it will take for shares to spike once is a bit of progress with the company’s efforts to bring solid

Uncertainty is something that we can evaluate in the financial markets in general. There are many tools and indicators that we can monitor to visualize and quantify uncertainty at a general level in the markets, but there is something that is completely individual and that is risk aversion. It is true that we cannot visualize

The Federal Reserve is set to make its next move shortly, and it could send a shock through the market. With already high interest rates, a sticky inflation problem and an uncertain economic outlook, many investors are taking a cautious approach for the rest of 2023. And there should be particular concern about companies that
