3 Stocks to Sell Right Now

by Leave a Comment

Although we have all loved the runup off the March lows, the decline's memory is still with us.

That gut-wrenching 34% rapid decline was painful, and more than a little scary.

And after reaching an all-time high in early September, the Dow has been on a roller coaster.

The index is down 6% since then, including a 500-point loss on Monday.

You can expect that sort of volatility to continue with the election coming up and the coronavirus still weakening the economy.

Now is an excellent time to look at your portfolio and clear out any deadwood that could turn into a disaster if the selling gets worse in the fourth quarter of 2020.

That's why I'm giving you my top three stocks to sell right now.

Stock Market Predictions for a Second Wave of COVID-19

by Leave a Comment

Where is the stock market heading in the future?

One of the best answers I have ever heard to this question came from a colleague on television.

When asked for a stock market prediction, he replied, "It'll go up until it stops. Then it'll go down."

Although there is good reason to track bullish ETFs and growth stocks, any return could be temporary.

There is an incredible amount of uncertainty given the market's detachment from current economic readings.

That said, here are some things to keep an eye on moving forward.

But it could also be just a bit of “fat trimming” in a longer-term bull market poised to go higher.

Here's everything you need to know now...

3 Best Tech Stocks to Buy on the Rebound

by Leave a Comment

When you run a marathon, it's better to focus on the finish line rather than each breath or stride.

That was the first thing that came to mind last week as the tech heavy Nasdaq dropped roughly 7% and Apple saw $180 billion erased from its market valuation on Thursday, the most any U.S.

company has ever lost in a single trading day.

Focusing on the finish line is important not just in sports but also the stock market.

While the tech selloff hammered markets over the last week, it is important to look at the bigger picture and look at the move as a healthy pullback for a bull market.

Why AMC Stock Isn't a Buy Low Right Now

by Leave a Comment

I've seen some fantastic stock opportunities since the pandemic hit the U.S. economy.

We saw the fastest sell-off in history, followed by one of the most rapid recoveries in history.

We've seen Overstock.com (NASDAQ: OSTK) soar tenfold as traders piled into the stock after the selloff.

An unknown company called Genius Brands (NASDAQ: GNUS) ran up fivefold after announcing comic books based on Stan Lee's characters.

Finally, Waitr Holdings (NASDAQ: WTRH), based in Lafayette, La., jumped more than 1,300% during the pandemic.

These successes have investors looking at beaten-down stocks they think will surely explode higher as soon as the pandemic is behind us.

These are usually airlines, cruise lines, casinos, and theater stocks.

But that's just wishful thinking, especially when it comes to a stock like AMC Entertainment Holdings (NYSE: AMC).
