3 Stocks to Sell and 3 Stocks to Buy Instead
The Morning Filter
Blackstone risks and conviction
Dave weighs Blackstone's private credit exposure, liquidity advantages, and why a cautious starter position makes sense.
In this episode of The Morning Filter podcast, co-hosts Dave Sekera and Susan Dziubinski discuss the impact the war in Iran has had on the markets so far and how a prolonged conflict could impact inflation and the Federal Reserve’s interest-rate stance. They cover what the war means for oil stocks, defense stocks, and other industries. On the earnings front, they unpack results from Okta OKTA and Marvell Technology MRVL and dissect Morningstar’s upgrade on Crowdstrike. Is now a back-up-the-truck moment for Broadcom’s stock? Tune in to find out.
They answer a viewer’s question about how to know when it’s time to sell a stock. And they discuss a trio of stocks to sell that look overpriced today and three stocks to buy instead that look attractive.
