Stocks to sell

Heading into the 2020 election, incumbent President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden came in with very different policy plans when it came to energy. And that disparity has had companies like BP (NYSE:BP) awaiting the results with bated breath. As a vertically integrated organization operating in every area of the oil and

In light of the tremendous competition in the electric-vehicle space and SPI Energy’s (NASDAQ:SPI) lack of expertise in the sector, the recent surge of SPI Energy stock seems to be overdone.

Following the black-swan event that was the initial strike from the novel coronavirus, it was inevitable that airliners would eventually make their recovery. Though people will take precautionary measures for the greater good, it’s just not in the American spirit to shelter in fear indefinitely. Hence, the return of positive sentiment bodes well for General

When a company is posting strong financials but the share price is expensive, investors have a tough decision to make. A case in point would be Pinterest (NYSE:PINS), which had an outstanding third quarter. The data is encouraging, but now PINS stock is relatively overbought.

What does a Joe Biden victory mean for election stocks? The Democratic nominee is favored to win in the Nov. 3 U.S. presidential election. While many are concerned potential policy changes could impact the markets, David Kass, a clinical professor of finance at the University of Maryland’s Robert H. Smith School of Business, sees some

As much as everyone wants to know when it will feel safe to fly again, investors wonder when they can soar once more with shares in United Airlines (NASDAQ:UAL).

Eastman Kodak (NYSE:KODK), a name long forgotten, is making major news headlines this year. The company was a pioneer in the advent of the film camera but fell off the bandwagon in the early 2000s. In a surprising turn of events this year, Congress enlisted the help of Kodak to manufacture medical supplies. Kodak stock

I am a sucker for reading new books. But I will admit, I was a bit skeptical when I heard Fareed Zakaria was coming out with a new volume, Ten Lessons for a Post-Pandemic World, when we aren’t out of the woods as of yet. The novel coronavirus pandemic is an unprecedented event in the history

Some investors are attracted to Chinese beverage chain Luckin Coffee (OTCMKTS:LKNCY) like moths are drawn to a bright light at midnight. Investors should know better, though, and resist spending their money on shares of Luckin stock before they get burned by the hot bulb of reality.

After selling off in the past few months, is it time for XpresSpa (NASDAQ:XSPA) stock to make a comeback?

But, despite taking the old adage, “when life gives you lemons, you make lemonade,”

With the awful impact of the novel coronavirus pandemic, the oil industry — let alone individual names like Exxon Mobil (NYSE:XOM) — faces a steep uphill battle. Not only that, the sector is in a knife fight, one in which it will survive. However, it will not emerge unscathed. But figuring out which companies will

The once-mighty General Electric (NYSE:GE) has fallen on such horrific times that one has to wonder whether the company and GE stock will ever look as robust they did a generation ago. And I mean, ever. Source: Sergey Kohl / Shutterstock.com While so many other investments have fully bounced back from their novel coronavirus funk

Cloudflare (NYSE:NET) appears to offer solid content delivery networks and IT security products that should enable the company to grow significantly going forward. But given the sky-high valuation of NET stock, and the strong threat from Fastly (NYSE:FSLY), I recommend that investors sell Cloudflare at this time.

Let’s agree: When it comes to figuring out which biopharma will crack the novel coronavirus vaccine code, no Rosetta Stone will help investors gain the elusive inside track. Yet as I’ve recently written, documents from unassailable sources including the New England Journal of Medicine and National Geographic offer clues. So when it comes to iBio

We’ve been here before with Hertz (NYSE:HTZ). Hertz stock has soared, and at least some investors see upside.

Then by June, the stock was above $5.

For investors willing to take a risk, 2020 has offered many opportunities. Exxon Mobil (NYSE:XOM) isn’t one of them. Despite XOM stock being down 52% from the start of the year, don’t bet on Exxon Mobil shares suddenly becoming a hot commodity. Even now that oil surpluses are running dry and prices have begun to

While Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) has a big lead in China’s electric vehicle market, the government there is determined to make it a short-lived one. To that end it has gone all-in on Nio (NYSE:NIO), originally a “Chinese Tesla” launched by a Chinese Musk named William Li. Meanwhile, shares of Nio stock have climbed. Source: Sundry Photography /

Cloudflare (NYSE:NET) is a cloud company that provides reliability and security solutions for large internet companies.

As we’ve seen from Plug Power (NASDAQ:PLUG), alternative energy is no longer the next big thing. In many ways, it’s already here and is a viable alternative to fossil fuels. That would mean  PLUG stock is a sure shot pick for your portfolio, right? Well, yes and no. Source: Shutterstock Plug Power is a hydrogen fuel

It’s been a month since the Food and Drug Administration put a partial clinical hold on INO-4800, Inovio Pharmaceuticals’ (NASDAQ:INO) Covid-19 vaccine. I wrote about this issue shortly after the FDA’s announcement. At the time, I suggested that only speculative investors should invest in INO stock, reminding readers there were better options.
