Get Rid of These 5 Toxic Stocks or Sell Short for Profit

Investors who can correctly distinguish between overblown/inflated toxic stocks and the fairly priced stocks emerge successful at the end. But, accurately distinguishing the two is not at all easy. In fact, investors who can precisely identify the toxic stocks and abandon them at the right time are set to benefit.

Usually, overpriced toxic stocks are vulnerable to external shocks and are burdened with huge amount of debts. Moreover, the price of the toxic stocks is unreasonably high. The artificially high price of the toxic stock is only temporary as the intrinsic value of the toxic stocks is lower than the current bloated price.

The unrealistically high price of toxic stocks can be due to either an irrational exuberance associated with them or some fundamental drawbacks associated with the stock. Owning such stocks for a long period of time can be detrimental to investors and may lead to huge erosion of wealth.

On the other side, investors may profit from the precise identification of toxic stocks with the help 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 getting rid of them at the right time is the key to guard your portfolio from big losses. Profits can be made by short selling them.
