Top Cannabis Stocks Heading Into July 2022
Are top marijuana stocks on your watchlist for a possible bounce in July? The market as a whole appears to want to trend higher to start the week, having made respectable gains from June’s new lows. Top cannabis stocks have also fallen to new lows this month, and unless Congress starts to move on federal cannabis regulation, the downward trend may continue. In a market environment like this one, when rallies seem to be followed by additional losses, long-term investment becomes challenging. One strategy to benefit from the current market volatility is short-term trading.
The modest revenue growth seen by US MSOs in the first quarter of 2022 did not result in market gains. As a result, many cannabis investors trade US marijuana stocks for the short term. Some long-term cannabis investors choose to use short-term trading techniques to move about their long-term main assets. They may now benefit from the daily changes in the stock price thanks to this. MSOs in the US have performed better recently than any other income producers in the world. They have fared better than Canadian LPs since the pandemic.
Making a list of the top marijuana stocks for 2022 could help you determine the best entry opportunities for trading short-term or making long-term investments. This week may bring more volatility to the cannabis market. In last week’s trading, certain US cannabis stocks to buy started to gain some momentum. As we wait for guidance from the general markets this week, these could be some of the top marijuana stocks on your watchlist before July.
