4 Toxic Stocks You Need to Dump Right Now

Investing success depends upon proper identification of overhyped toxic stocks and the correctly priced ones. However, spotting toxic stocks on time and discarding them to make profit is not an easy task.

Overpriced toxic stocks are generally susceptible to external shocks. Additionally, these stocks are loaded with huge debts. The price of the toxic stocks is artificially inflated. However, the higher price of toxic stocks is only short term in nature as it exceeds its true intrinsic value.

Investors may make profit from proper identification of toxic stocks with the help of an investing strategy called short selling. This strategy permits investors to sell a stock first and then buy it when the price falls.

While short selling excels in bear markets, it typically loses money in bull markets.

So, identifying toxic stocks and abandoning or short selling them at the right time is the key to shield your portfolio from big losses.
