Stocks to sell

Is BigCommerce (NASDAQ:BIGC) set to be a huge winner in the e-commerce space after BigCommerce stock enjoyed one of the year’s hottest initial public offerings so far? Source: William Potter/Shutterstock.com BigCommerce started marketing its IPO at a price of $18-$20 per share. Thanks to strong demand from investors, the company’s investment bankers ended up launching the

Marathon Patent Group (NASDAQ:MARA) hit a 52-week high of $5.25 on Aug. 6. The bitcoin miner filed a shelf registration to sell up to $100 million of MARA stock in the future.

Is there any bank stock as unappealing as Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC)? For my money, Wells Fargo stock is the worst of a weak bunch. Source: Martina Badini / Shutterstock.com Wells Fargo has been the black sheep of bank stocks for a few years now, and nothing that it’s accomplished lately is making people forget that.

Before we dive into why investors should stay far away from Hertz Global (NYSE:HTZ), we should first appreciate why people continue to speculate on the bankrupt rental car company. After all, Hertz stock isn’t buying itself. Primarily, raw emotions combined with the speculative draw of a cheap asset price is leading inexperienced traders into a

Simply put, I’m not sold on Beyond Meat (NASDAQ:BYND). But my skepticism toward Beyond Meat stock doesn’t derive (purely) from the stock’s hefty valuation. Source: Sundry Photography / Shutterstock.com To be sure, Beyond Meat stock looks expensive. It trades at almost 20x trailing twelve-month revenue — and this is a food manufacturer, not a software

American Airlines (NASDAQ:AAL) stock enjoyed a modest recovery. Shares spiked up to $20 in June as hopes of a V-shaped recovery emerged. Since then, however, the novel coronavirus formed a second wave. U.S. passenger traffic stalled, and with it, so did the airline stocks. AAL stock fell back to just $11 a share.

Twitter (NYSE:TWTR) stock perked up in early August after the social-media platform’s CFO, Ned Segal, talked up the company’s potential subscription service. Segal’s statement came only weeks after CEO Jack Dorsey said on a conference call with analysts that we will likely see “some [subscription] tests this year.” Source: Worawee Meepian / Shutterstock.com Naturally, investors

There’s been one relatively consistent rule in the market over the past few years. Winning stocks generally have stayed stocks to buy, while losing stocks have stayed stocks to sell. That trend is part of a “growth versus value” split in which high-growth, high-priced stocks have significantly outperformed the rest of the market. There have

The market has appeared to internalize the idea that a vaccine for the novel coronavirus is probably going to be ready within a few months. Not coincidentally, the shares of many speculative “coronavirus stocks” tumbled. In the latter group was vaccine maker iBio (NYSE:IBIO), as IBIO stock fell 34% in the last week. Source: Shutterstock

Aside from the vague notion that big banks are too big to fail, it’s increasingly difficult to justify Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC) based purely on the fundamentals. Note that I said increasingly. I concede that Wells Fargo stock could jump higher once we get over this crisis. But the novel coronavirus pandemic has two components, and

Here at InvestorPlace, we tend to write about subjects and companies that our readers have expressed interest in. That’s why I’m writing about Chesapeake Energy (OTCMKTS:CHKAQ) today. I’m the fifth InvestorPlace contributor to write about Chesapeake Energy stock in the past two weeks alone. Source: Casimiro PT / Shutterstock.com I don’t think there’s any question

Chinese micro-blogging social-media site Weibo (NASDAQ:WB) is often referred to as that nation’s version of Twitter (NYSE:TWTR). Yet, holders of WB stock shouldn’t be thinking of Twitter right now. They should be weighing TikTok’s troubles – and wondering if Weibo might get caught in the crossfire. Source: testing / Shutterstock.com For many years, I’ve issued a

With shares falling far below recent highs, is it time to buy the dip in Nikola (NASDAQ:NKLA)? Not so fast! Sure, it’s future potential, not current valuation, driving names like Nikola stock. If the company can pull off bringing a hydrogen electric vehicle to market, it could give EV powerhouse Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) a run for

There is no shortage of opinions from InvestorPlace writers telling you the same thing. Chesapeake Energy (OTCMKTS:CHKAQ) is bankrupt. And if you still own Chesapeake stock, your shares will likely be deemed worthless by the court. Source: Casimiro PT / Shutterstock.com I also argued against buying into the bankruptcy trade in June. It seems investors

Genius Brands (NASDAQ:GNUS) and GNUS stock are intriguing and have a great deal of potential. Source: patat / Shutterstock.com But given the stock’s still-stratospheric valuation and the lack of clear-cut success by the company, I think that it’s not yet a good time to buy the shares. Genius Brands’ app, The Kartoon Channel, received primarily

Many stocks hammered by the novel coronavirus have bounced back, but not names like Carnival Cruise Lines (NYSE:CCL). Investors may be willing to take a gamble with airlines, but CCL stock just makes people nervous. Source: Ruth Peterkin / Shutterstock.com No surprises here. While airlines are slowly climbing back from their lows, cruise ships remain

Activision Blizzard (NASDAQ:ATVI) delivered very strong second-quarter results, and there’s a great deal to like about the company, including its extremely popular games and its loyal and rapidly growing user base. Activision Blizzard stock is another question altogether, though. Source: Piotr Swat / Shutterstock.com The company’s third-quarter guidance was uninspiring, and as I predicted previously,

When I look at AYRO (NASDAQ:AYRO), it feels a bit like déjà vu from when I was recently asked to give an opinion on ElectraMeccanica Vehicles (NASDAQ:SOLO).  I felt the basic problem for ElectraMeccanica was that it didn’t have a good answer to why this time is different. In other words, it might be the

From the performance of its shares, Plug Power (NASDAQ:PLUG) has come a long way. It spent much of the last five years trading at around $2.00. Conversely, July 2020 is its breakout month after PLUG stock climbed to a high of $10.00 before selling-off by 20%. Today, it’s trading at more than $11. Source: Shutterstock

Over the years, I have consistently pounded the table on groundbreaking technology firms. Collectively, we’re entering a period where multiple innovations are converging at once, sparking what I term the “Roaring 2020s.” Certainly, electric vehicles represent a vital cog in this gear. However, this does not include bizarre gimmicks like Electrameccanica Vehicles (NASDAQ:SOLO). Thus, I
