Screen of the Week by Zacks Investment Research:
Get Rid of These 5 Toxic Stocks or Sell Short for Profit
Investors possessing the skill to distinguish between overpriced toxic stocks and the fairly priced ones emerge winners at the end. However, identifying these two categories of stocks is not easy as these are intertwined in the market place in a complicated way. Investors who can precisely identify toxic stocks and discard them at the right time are most likely to benefit.
Usually, the overhyped toxic stocks are vulnerable to external shocks and are burdened with huge amount of debts. Moreover, the price of the toxic stocks is unreasonably inflated. The unrealistically high price of toxic stocks is only transitory in nature as the intrinsic value of the toxic stocks is lower than the current bloated price.
The overblown price of toxic stocks can be ascribed to either an irrational exuberance associated with them or some fundamental problems associated with the stock. Owning such stocks for a long stretch of time is detrimental for investors and may result in huge loss of wealth.
On the other side, investors may gain from the precise identification of toxic stocks with the aid of an investing strategy known as short selling. This strategy allows them 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 them at the right time is the key to guard your portfolio from big losses. Profits can be made by short selling them.
