Considering the slowdown in the world’s second-largest economy, it’s probably the right time to think about some Chinese stocks to sell.

It’s probably high time to look at your portfolio and see which growth stocks to sell. It has been a disappointing year on Wall Street, to say the least. In 2021, the major indices were up anywhere from 19.5% to 26.9%. Not too shabby. But so far this year, we’ve not had any such luck.

After falling to as low as $11.70 per share, the China-based electric vehicle (or EV maker) has climbed back to around $19 per share.

With hardly any warning, Weber (NASDAQ:WEBR) stock garnered attention among traders recently and catapulted higher. Is this due to company-specific news, such as a terrific earnings report?
