Stocks to sell

Rising global geopolitical turmoil in the Middle East and Eastern Europe and rising tensions in Southeast Asia create the perfect conditions for defense stocks to soar. The companies behind these stocks often see an uptick in orders for equipment and services.  Despite the perfect conditions for defense stocks to thrive in 2024, the S&P Aerospace

The creation of social media has completely changed the way people live. People can text, call, and even Facetime friends and families from the other side of the world within a second. The power of social media apps is growing by the day. As a result, social media stocks are now some of the best

Thematic investing, such as allocating gaming stocks, is an excellent way to tap into concentrated systematic returns, allowing for excess return potential. Moreover, the gaming industry is forecasted to grow by 10.17% until 2029, consolidating its excess return prospects. Considering the above, I decided to look for three stellar gaming stocks that might double in

Everyone’s definition of “consumer stocks” is different.  Strictly speaking, I would say that companies operating in the consumer discretionary sector are the best examples of consumer stocks. However, others in the industry might suggest that consumer staples companies are also to be included in the larger group of constituents that are consumer stocks. When selecting

This has been a bad year for clean energy stocks. It has destroyed many investors’ hopes of a shift to green energy worldwide. Interest rates remain high, pushing investors to look for better returns in other segments. As a result, clean energy is having a difficult time finding relevance to investors.  While clean energy still

There’s a rotation going on the stock market. The magnificent seven tech stocks and various AI names have started to dip in recent weeks. Meanwhile, long-forgotten smaller-capitalization and value stocks have begun to rally. This shift in the market forces has reinvigorated a great number of meme stocks, with many names posting sharp rallies in

The U.S. equities rally seems to be fizzling out. Over the past five days, the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite has tumbled 4.3%, while the S&P500 has fallen by a smaller 2.4%. Anyone familiar with historical market movements would understand that, towards the end of July and into August, U.S. equities typically post a string of losses.

The recent rotation out of tech stocks has only made the decline in some names worse. Already battered and bruised, many of the most disliked tech stocks have fallen sharply since the beginning of July as investors shift capital into value stocks and small-cap securities. This has worsened an already bad situation. Even before the

Tesla‘s (NASDAQ:TSLA) shares suffered severe losses in the first quarter and much of the second before rallying in recent weeks. Investors became more bullish about Tesla stock in hopes that the company would be able to pull off a Q2 earnings beat and show improved profitability. But the earnings report on July 23 contained more

Many investors flock to high-yield dividend stocks because they offer a simple premise. You can put your money into a stock and generate high cash flow that gets treated more favorably when it’s time to file taxes. Some high-yield stocks have higher rates than high-yield savings accounts, but high-yield doesn’t mean that a stock presents

While we’re eagerly waiting for an interest rate cut, one must remember that there is no certainty when it comes to government decisions. Several factors come into play, and the policymakers will not announce a rate cut until they are certain about the inflation level. If a rate cut happens, the economy will improve and we

With the odds of former President Donald Trump winning November’s election rather high, I’m much more upbeat on the outlook of Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ:PLTR) and Palantir stock than I have been in recent years. However, given the huge valuation of the shares and the Street’s mixed views on the name, I remain cautious nonetheless. Trump’s

As the market hits new peaks, it’s easy to get swept up in the euphoria that surrounds blue-chip stocks. These bastions of the financial world are often seen as safe havens, reliable performers with a proven track record. However, not all blue-chips are created equal, and some are facing headwinds that could lead to a

As of July, political analysts are forecasting a red wave in November and Donald Trump’s return to the Oval Office. If you remember, from his first stint as President, Trump implemented several different economic policies. Much of his focus is on returning employment and manufacturing to the United States.  So, as investors, which companies can

Over the long term, clean energy should continue to be a growing sector. The world needs more electricity, and that will especially be true given the increasing power demand in sectors such as electric vehicles (EVs) and artificial intelligence. However, there’s no guarantee that the growth curve will be a stable one. In fact, historically,

While it is true that many financial stocks have rebounded in the market this year thanks to high profitability levels and increased demand, some have not enjoyed this same turn of fortune. The financial industry remains one of the most profitable industries in the world. However, there are many reasons that could cause financial stocks

Cannabis stocks have gained in the past couple of months following the federal government’s reclassification of the drug. Experts also anticipate that the lobby to lift the ban on the U.S. financial institutions financing cannabis stocks and the reclassification may see the industry market value double to $57 billion by 2028. These three cannabis stocks,

Selling stocks just because of the negative momentum riding behind them is not typically a good idea. However, for the firms that have lost their way, with questionable (and perhaps deteriorating) long-term growth narratives, decaying fundamentals, or other uncertainties that could weigh heavily on one’s longer-term (think three to five years or more) investment thesis,

In the dynamic world of cloud computing, shifts in market dynamics can happen faster than a flash of lightning. Despite the sector’s explosive growth over recent years, not all cloud companies are primed to keep soaring. The cloud computing market is projected to grow significantly from $0.68 trillion in 2024 to $1.44 trillion by 2029,

Markets have been slipping recently, but make no mistake. Now is the time to buy growth stocks. These drops are a short-term issue. FED chair Jerome Powell says he sees inflation and economic growth in “much better balance.” This indicates improving market conditions. Additionally, it strengthens press release claims of Powell lowering interest rates in
