PTA Perspective… Selling with Style!
We have often emphasized the importance of knowing when to sell… in fact even more than how to pick stocks. Fear-of-loss is the biggest psychological threat to every investor’s portfolio performance. It’s been proven over and over again in academic research, and it’s been proven that active fund managers (mutual funds or actively managed ETFs) are just as susceptible or even more so. That’s why actively managed funds underperform even a simple baseline like S&P 500 85% of the time. This week we revisit the topic of how to set sell-signals and stick to your selling process!

Cannabis Corner… We have our usual updated chart of the performance of the largest cannabis stocks (our “Billionaire Club” based on market cap). This group is still suffering from set-backs in share prices since the end of Q1, but there were some positive surprises as well this past week (some previewed above with our cartoon commentary).
