WHAT TO DO NOW: We usually hesitate to do much of anything on the first day or two of the New Year given the volatility—but CrowdStrike (CRWD) fell back to support earlier this week and is getting hit again today, falling to new recent lows. We’ll follow our plan and cut our loss here, aiming to redeploy the money in a stronger name should growth stocks kick into gear. Our cash position will now be in the mid-50% range.

Cannabis stocks sold off after President Trump’s Executive Order on rescheduling, some of the best news in decades. Here are seven reasons they’re still a buy.

Despite a holiday-shortened week and light volume, U.S. stocks pulled back from recent highs last week as year-end positioning and lack of fresh catalysts weighed on sentiment. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq slipped after failing to sustain record levels, while tech and small caps bore the brunt of profit-taking amid mixed breadth. For the week, the S&P 500 fell about 1%, the Dow lost roughly 0.7%, the Nasdaq slid near 1.5%, and the Russell 2000 dropped by around 2.1%.

Warren Buffett is our greatest living investor. Let’s look back at his legacy, the monumental success he’s had over the years, and the portfolio he’s left behind.

The market rally has gotten stuck in the mud for now. It will likely take some good news to really get it moving higher again.

Stocks have hugely recovered from the tariff Armageddon selloffs of early April. The index made up all that tariff ground and the S&P came within just a few percent of the high. But the rally has stalled over the past couple of weeks as positive headlines have been in short supply.

Right on the heels of yesterday’s Issue featuring new addition Byrna Technologies (BYRN) management released preliminary Q2 revenue. The press release came just after the closing bell yesterday.

The market has leveled off since the huge recovery from the tariff Armageddon fears. And now, who knows.

The sticky issue to start the week is increasing trade tensions with China. A war of words is escalating between the two governments and threats are being made by both sides. It is being reported that President Trump will speak with Chinese President Xi today or later this week. Hopefully the two leaders will bring down the temperature.

We’re now three weeks into this general market consolidation, and from a top-down perspective, it’s been according to plan, with very little giveback (and even some upside testing from the big-cap indexes) even as the market has been hit with some uncertainties (on-again, off-again U.S.-China trade, U.S. debt downgrade, Russia-Ukraine tensions).

More than almost any other indicator, trading volume can be an important “tell” as to when a stock is about to take off.

The market has become a bit stagnant and boring. After the last few months we’ve had, boring is good. So today, we lean into the boring theme by adding a “boring” stock to the portfolio. It’s a mid-cap insurance company that Tyler Laundon recommended to his Cabot Early Opportunities audience last month. It may be boring, but like the market, it has plenty of upside in the near term.
