Wolf Of Weed Street On The Possibility Of A Rebound In U.S. Cannabis Stocks
In this week’s Trade To Black Podcast, TDR Founder Shadd Dales, lead financial writer Benjamin A. Smith speak with Jason Spatafora—otherwise known as the @WolfOfWeedST—about U.S. cannabis stocks and the macro stock market. With optimism once again abounding with the filing of the Climb Act and word that Senate Democrats are looking for a deal on federal cannabis reform in calendar 2022, the panel discusses what this all means for investors.
Jason Spatafora spends much of his time as a partner at True Trading Group LLC, an organization built for active traders who seek guidance in navigating the capital markets. He has a particular affinity for options investing in a swing trading capacity, using both short and long-dated strategies.
Trade To Black Podcast Cliffsnotes:
@1:10 The overall market had a very strong week with the NASDAQ 100 ↑7.40% and S&P 500 ↑6.50%, yet U.S. cannabis stocks did not respond in kind. Why not?
@2:25 Jason thinks U.S. cannabis stocks are going lower. How much lower can a cheap sector decline further?
@4:00 MSOS fighting the trend in light of potentially more givebacks in the broad market.
@5:31 Anger increasingly boiling over on Twitter cannabis influencers as investors become frustrated with performance.
@10:52 Research in the cannabis sector has been a disaster from the beginning in the cannabis sector.
@13:52 Why do analysts continue to get price projections wrong?
@15:20 What things would you like to see with certain sector influencers?
@19:24 The decline in U.S. cannabis stocks has been a double cost because investors over-exposed to the sector missed out on a historic bull run elsewhere in the market.
@25:51 Will cannabis get pushed on the backburner as we head into the midterms?
@28:57 Should investors be worried is Republicans gain both the House and Senate in the midterms, and Mitch McConnell is controlling the agenda in the Senate.
@35:05 End of quarter window dressing means buying and selling in different sectors.
@38:48 The real estate market remains hot in Florida.
@40:10 Still a lot of headwinds in the macro market, so panel remains cautious in current environment.
@42:28 Equities are still not cheap right now on a historical basis.
@45:15 Stock valuations can depress more than you believe if earnings growth stalls out and reverses.
@51:05 The re-rating on U.S. cannabis stocks is going to blow people’s minds when the right combination of regulatory reform takes shape. Patience required.
