Canadian Cannabis Stocks And 2022 Market Volatility
Are you looking for top marijuana stocks as the possibility of US cannabis reform increases? Last week the House passed the MORE Act and started this week passing a cannabis research bill showing some activity that affects the cannabis industry. In addition, in April Chuck Schumer is expected to formally introduce his federal marijuana legalization bill. Currently, Schumer is discussing the bill with GOP leaders to make the final adjustments for the forthcoming legislation. In March the cannabis sector began to show some upward momentum to close the month.
Now as significant overall market volatility continues many top cannabis stocks have given back most of those gains. One of the areas that have seen the most upside from recent trading is Canadian marijuana stocks. Although Canadian cannabis companies are not based in the US entry into the American cannabis market would allow them to enter one of the world’s largest developing cannabis markets. In 2021 Canadian cannabis companies did not perform as well as their US counterparts but still saw growth in the Canadian and global markets.
But Canadian pot stocks have seen the most volatility in 2022. This is because Canadian cannabis stocks trade on the major exchanges and have the greatest exposure to global investors. Unfortunately, Canadian cannabis stocks have not held their gains this week. At the present time, many cannabis investors are playing current market conditions on a short-term basis. This allows them to take advantage of the price swings by either going long or short as the pot stocks move in the market.
Best Pot Stocks To Play For Active Traders
Before investing in cannabis stocks, it’s important to do your own research on a company. Looking into a company’s earnings and press releases can help you find the best companies to invest in. Additionally following how a stock performs in the market can help you establish the best entry point for your investments. Many active traders use day trading and swing trading methods to produce gains in the short term. Ultimately using chart patterns and technical indicators gives them the best chance of making a successful trade in the market. As this week continues to see extreme volatility because of inflation concerns and the War in Ukraine let’s look at 3 Canadian marijuana stocks for active traders in April.
