4 Toxic Stocks to Discard or Sell Short for Solid Gains

Accurate identification of the correctly-priced stocks is the key for successful investing. However, in practice, correctly-priced stocks and overpriced toxic stocks are intermixed in such a way that it is difficult to distinguish those.

Generally, overpriced toxic stocks are vulnerable to external shocks. Moreover, these stocks are burdened with a large amount of debt. The price of these stocks is artificially inflated. Nonetheless, the elevated price of toxic stocks is only short-lived in nature as it is higher than its true intrinsic value.

Investors are likely to benefit from accurate identification of toxic stocks with the help of an investing strategy called short selling. This strategy allows investors to sell a stock first and then buy it when price falls.

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

So, precisely pinpointing toxic stocks, and abandoning or short selling those at the right time is the key to cushioning your portfolio from big losses.

And that's what we're screening for today…
