Top Cannabis Stocks To Watch During This Downtrend
Are you looking for the best marijuana stocks to buy right now? With current market volatility reaching a new high in 2022 and the overall market dropping to new lows cannabis stocks fell again in trading this week. One area that pulled back significantly is marijuana penny stocks. For those investors not familiar with penny stocks these are any stocks that trade under the $5 price point. Known for being one of the more volatile parts of the cannabis sector penny pot stocks are considered a higher risk-reward investment that many traders invest in on a short-term basis.
In general, many active traders use day trading and swing trading strategies to take advantage of price fluctuations in penny stocks. Because penny stocks trade at lower levels investors can take larger positions with less capital and are able to produce gains from smaller moves in the price action. In May much of the cannabis sector established new 52-week lows in the market. For new investors, this could be a good time to begin a marijuana stock watchlist in 2022.
In the cannabis sector, Canadian cannabis stocks are known for having significant price swings. This is partly due to the fact they trade on the major US exchanges, unlike vertically integrated US pot stocks. In addition, Canadian cannabis companies have shown some better earnings in Q1 2022. As we endure another huge decline in the overall markets let’s look at 3 top marijuana penny stocks to watch in May.
