In early February starting with our article "Buy WEED When There Is Blood On The Streets", we repeatedly called Canopy Growth Corporation (TWMJF) (WEED.TO) a strong buy with a prediction of a bounce into the $30's from under $25 in Canada. A month later in our article "Cannabis is on the Rise Again" we announced that we closed the position in favor of more lucrative trading opportunities in the cannabis sector. We are now recommending a sell on WEED. While this might not be a popular opinion, understand that this is not a knock against the company, but the situation it is in.We are up to 528 followers despite not giving out a lot of alerts, a fact that we think is indicative of a diligent and prudent stock picking history so understand that we are not giving this sell alert without good reason. If you like our picks you can also follow our blog by clicking the follow button on the top of the left hand panel.
So what is this reason? Simple. Just like we have all heard that there is tax loss selling in November and December, putting additional selling pressure on losers for the year so that people can collect a tax benefit, there is tax GAIN selling that occurs in April as people must pay taxes on the gains they made in stocks they sold the prior year. When you buy and sell securities, taxes are not taken off the top like they would with employment income. That bill comes in one lump sum and could be a very hefty cash outflow for an investor if they had a good year. The cannabis industry in general and WEED in particular had a good year last year, more than tripling from less than $10 to $30 in Canada. WEED would also be a stock that many first time investors would have gotten into as a trial for investing in cannabis. These people might be less versed in how to manage tax strategies like not day trading too much on winning positions and not waiting to sell big gainers until January to delay the tax bill for the subsequent year.
A good litmus test for being able to tell if our theory is accurate or not is to analyze your personal situation. Did you take a big taxable gain last year? Do you have a big tax bill to pay off in April? Do you have to sell some stocks in order to pay off that tax bill? If this is the case, multiply your situation by the thousands of people who have made money off of WEED and cannabis stocks and now you can imagine the problem. Even if you have managed your cash flow and tax strategies so that you personally can absorb the tax bill without selling too much stock doesn't mean that others have done the same.
We predict that April will be a bad month for WEED. The senate vote on legalized marijuana was a sell on news type of event as there won't be any positive short term catalysts again until June with the tax gain selling and shaky markets over trade and interest rates being negative catalysts right now. We think that WEED will hit the mid-$20's again during the first half of April before recovering to back over $30 on bullish speculation in the weeks leading up to the legalization bill passing in Canada.
Again, this is not meant to be a specific knock against the company, but we think that opportunistic traders will take advantage of this trend like we have. If you can tolerate the volatility there is nothing wrong with holding, but we are confident that you will be able to buy back WEED at a substantially lower price than $33 in two or three weeks from now.
