If you are wondering what a tax selling stock is, it is a stock that is currently selling for a low price but was trading at much higher levels earlier in the year.
As the year-end approaches, many investors employ the technique called tax harvesting , which is the selling of loser stocks to offset any gains that may have been established during the year.
With all the heavy selling, the price of the stocks that have had big drops tends to tank far more than what would normally take place during the rest of the year.
So traders and investors are on the lookout for tax selling bounce stocks that are heavily hit, hoping for a little (or big) bounce in January, once the tax selling is over.
Here are some stocks that are down over 50% year-to-date and have market caps in excess of $300 million. They are all based in the United States and have forward price to earnings ratios less than 50.
| Bit Digital, Inc. | BTBT |
| Chegg, Inc. | CHGG |
| CleanSpark, Inc. | CLSK |
| GrowGeneration Corp. | GRWG |
| WM Technology, Inc. | MAPS |
| PLAYSTUDIOS, Inc. | MYPS |
| Proto Labs, Inc. | PRLB |
| Sunlight Financial Holdings Inc. | SUNL |
Maybe someone’s tax losses can be your tax stock gains.

The following is a short list of some of the many stocks going ex dividend during the next month.
Many traders and investors use the stock trading technique called ‘Buying Dividends,’ also commonly referred to as ‘Dividend Capture.’ This is the strategy of buying stocks before the ex dividend date and selling the stock shortly after the ex date at about the same price, yet still being entitled to the dividend.
This technique generally works in bull markets and flat or choppy markets, but you need to avoid the strategy during bear markets. In order to be entitled to the dividend, you have to buy the stock before the ex-dividend date, and you can’t sell the stock until after the ex date.
The actual dividend may not be paid for another few weeks. WallStreetNewsNetwork.com has compiled a downloadable and sortable list of the stocks going ex dividend in the near future. The list contains many dividend paying companies, lots with market caps over $500 million, and some with yields over 2%. Here are a few examples showing the stock symbol, the ex-dividend date, the periodic dividend amount.

Are you looking for a great joke gift for a stock trader friend? Or maybe just a funny gift for your father who likes to invest, and you need to come up with a present for Father’s Day. Then again, you could just be looking for something for yourself to prove what a great trader or investor you are.
If so, there is a great selection of unusual items on Amazon related to investing and the stock market. Here is an interesting list of the out-of-the-ordinary.
If you made money on GameStop (GME), why not show it off with this attention getting WallStreetBets To the Moon T-Shirt.
Here’s an unusual one. A framable quote from Jordan Belfort, the Wolf of Wall Street.
MINIATURE ATMAll right, it’s not a real ATM. It’s basically a kid’s piggy bank, but instead of being in the shape of a pig, it is in the shape of a bank vault with keypads and everything. A unique gift for a child.
STOCK MARKET DECISION MAKERIf you can’t figure out which way the stock market is going, check out this desk paperweight stock market decision maker that might just tell you whether to buy, sell, short, hold, and so on. Makes a great icebreaker for visitors to your office.
People might think so if they look below your pant cuffs and see socks with money raining down.
If your father trades stocks, this might be the perfect Fathers Day gift, a T-shirt that says The Stocksfather.
Now here’s a chart that you won’t see every day. A graph of the SPY from December 2019 to May 2020, showing the Coronavirus Crash.
This is a chrome plastic license plate frame that proclaims that you would much rather be watching the stock market.
THANK YOU AMC STONK TO THE MOON STICKERSHere are three stickers for those that made money from AMC (AMC). Put them on your laptop, your front door, your car, your water bottle, your face, or wherever.
This Stock Market Genius coffee mug is great for braggarts.
This is a Buy the Fear, Sell the Greed throw pillow, great for punching or throwing if you make a trading mistake.
You have probably seen several of this statues showing a bull and a bear. This one is a little different. The bull is goring the bear, and look at the bear’s expression.
Hopefully you can find some great unusual, weird, strange, investment related gifts for yourself, family, and friends.
