Comprised of the 503 largest U.S. companies based on market capitalization, the S&P 500 continues to be the yard stick by which most professional investors and traders measure their returns and performance. Year-to-date, the index is up a healthy 11%. However, the S&P 500 index had been doing a lot better this year before it
Stocks to sell
For many investors, Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) might have become the top name for WarrenBuffett stocks to sell. It’s been about a week since Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRK.B) revealed that it sold approximately 390 million shares of Apple stock during the second quarter. That’s on top of the 115 million sold in the first quarter of 2024. That
The recent carry trade scare sent Japanese stocks into a tailspin, and the contagion spread to other markets faster than a juicy rumor in a high school cafeteria. Even stocks that were already in correction mode got hammered even harder. Some analysts warn that the carry trade debacle could just be the tip of the
Those holding REITs have seen their portfolios lag behind in recent years, with the sector struggling under the weight of rising interest rates. The current economic climate has been particularly harsh on REITs, which are feeling the strain from increased borrowing costs and a shift in investor preference towards safer fixed-income assets. In particular, with
Quantum mechanics could very well unlock the next stage of modern computing. Scientists can leverage the complex physics of subatomic particles to develop advanced computing systems. In particular, physical matter has both particle and wave-like qualities. Quantum computing exploits this behavior using specialized hardware. Moreover, unlike in classical computing where there are two states of information
It’s been a hot summer for much of the country, but it’s getting frosty if you’re in the technology sector. Traders are starting to rotate out of overvalued tech stocks as they believe that lower interest rates may make some other sectors more attractive. Does that mean the tech trade is over? It wouldn’t
Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) has been among the most volatile EV stocks in the market. There’s no denying that. Of course, Tesla stock still holds a strong following from some, with the company largely seen as a stock with more upside than its EV peers, due to its impressive market share and historical growth metrics. Tesla, once
Measuring a company’s fair value, especially for overhyped stocks, is more difficult than it seems at first glance. It has to account for future growth, and that growth has to have a valid basis. But even if that is accounted for, it is difficult to price in market irrationality alongside speculation. Both price-to-earnings (P/E) and
With economic uncertainties and fluctuating market conditions and stocks to sell Thus, one must be vigilant about protecting portfolios from potential downturns. Here, the focus is on three high-risk stocks, making them prime candidates for selling before the next market collapse. The first is a prominent electric vehicle (EV) industry player, demonstrating growth but is plagued by
This year, Dow stocks have been all over the place, prompting concerns from investors and analysts alike. Unlike the other two major U.S. stock indices, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq, which are up by a considerable percentage this year, the Dow 30 continues to perform inconsistently. Judging by their performance this year, it might be
Even after some recent correction, the S&P 500 index is not far from all-time highs. With the possibility of rate cuts, there is a reason to remain bullish on equities. However, I would prefer to be cautiously optimistic than very aggressive as an investor. In line with this view, it makes sense to sell overvalued
High-yield dividend stocks can be complex to navigate. While dividend yields reduce investors’ risk when the price dips, they also require investors to take on potentially more risk. In general, the higher the dividend yield, the riskier the stock is. Besides the dividend yields, other metrics can be used to measure risk. One of these
It appears that after the recent rise in Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA), share prices may be coming back to earth. At the start of July, Tesla reported deliveries above analyst estimates, which led to over a 40% increase in the Tesla stock price within a week. However, this week’s earnings release showed profits below projections, causing the
In the lead-up to earnings, Boeing (NYSE:BA) has been cruising at a level altitude. Boeing stock has stayed rangebound, barely straying from between $175 and $200 per share. Still, it’s very possible that the current performance of shares in this aerospace giant is merely the calm before storm. Turbulence may soon return for this stock.
Shares of embattled theatre chain operator AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC) are ticking in the green again following its announcement of debt restructuring. However, these fleeting gains do little to impact the bearish outlook for AMC stock, which is overshadowed by its declining underlying business. AMC stock remains as precarious as ever, potentially sending its shareholders into
Technology equities have largely had a good year in 2024. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite has rallied nearly 20% on a year-to-date basis, and secular trends such as artificial intelligence and cloud computing technologies could send technology shares higher in the near term. Even the historical August slump probably will not be enough to stop the
Well, that was a stunner (though perhaps not entirely unexpected). Over the weekend, President Joe Biden made the tough, but likely necessary decision to step down from his reelection bid. It’s why I’m looking at some of the stocks to sell on that news. There’s still plenty of time for the Democrats to mount an
The clock is ticking for Faraday Future Intelligent Electric (NASDAQ:FFIE). The upscale electric vehicle manufacturer faces several important deadlines in the weeks ahead. It has to get all of its Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC) filings submitted by July 31 to come into compliance with Nasdaq listing requirements. And then it has to boost its
A string of subpar second-quarter earnings reports is hurting the stock market. The technology-laden Nasdaq index fell 3% (more than 500 points) after the initial financial results from mega-cap tech companies disappointed. However, the poor results are by no means limited to technology concerns. Restaurants, airlines, healthcare companies and some financial institutions have delivered earnings
When most people think of index funds, they gravitate toward the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite. It’s no surprise that these benchmarks receive the most attention.
