As reform in federal cannabis laws continues to move forward (albeit slowly), it may be worthwhile to keep an eye on the cannabis stocks to watch.

It continues to be an uneven playing field for tech stocks. While some companies are continuing to knock the cover off the ball, others are struggling and in decline.

PLTR stock rose nearly 140% this year due to strong earnings and AI growth. However, concerns about overvaluation loom large over this meme-stock-turned-AI-champion.
