LVS.Protect Your Portfolio by Dumping These 4 Toxic StocksInvesting in a stock whose current price is not rationally justified by its true potential is sure to result in loss over time. Identifying such bloated stocks accurately and dumping them at the right time can protect your portfolio.Overpricing of these toxic stocks can be attributed to either an irrational exuberance associated with them or some serious drawbacks. And if you own such stocks for an inordinate period of time, you are likely to see significant erosion of your wealth.However, if you can correctly detect such toxic stocks, you may gain in a bear market by resorting to an investing strategy called short selling. This strategy allows one to sell a stock first and then buy it when the price falls. Naturally, short selling excels in bear markets, while it typically loses money in bull markets.So, just like identifying promising stocks, detecting toxic stocks and dumping them at the right time is crucial to safeguarding one's portfolio from big losses or earning profits by short selling them.For the rest of this Screen of the Week article please visit Zacks.com at: https://www.zacks.com/stock/news/1100792/protect-your-portfolio-by-dumping-these-4-toxic-stocksDisclosure: Officers, directors and/or employees of Zacks Investment Research may own or have sold short securities and/or hold long and/or short positions in options that are mentioned in this material.
