Friday markets lost some ground, but closed positive for the week which saw record highs during the Biden inauguration. Worries over Covid<\/a> lockdowns, vaccine distribution, and Biden’s forthcoming stimulus package hitting resistance weighed on investors’ minds. There was also profit-taking, and volumes were light. The Dow finished the session -0.57%, the S&P -0.31% and the Nasdaq was essentially flat at 0.09%. Industrials and financials lagged on the Dow while consumer and healthcare were mixed.<\/p>\n Slamming tech stocks were Intel<\/a> and IBM<\/a> which sank 9.29% and 9.91% respectively after issuing uneven-to-weak reports<\/a>. In contrast, Bed Bath & Beyond<\/a> jumped 10.8% today, Ballard Power<\/a> climbed 4%, and Gamestop<\/a> rocketed<\/a> 51%.<\/p>\n The TSX finished -0.39% but well off the day’s lows. Tech names shined. Sierra Wireless<\/a> leapt 17.25% after announcing that it expected its Q4 and Q1 to beat revenue expectations. Meanwhile, Blackberry<\/a> continued its recent rally by leaping 10.45%, and Docebo<\/a> rose 7.79%. In contrast, energy names slid 2% and financials showed weakness. Cenovus<\/a> closed -3.74% and Crescent Point<\/a> -4.76%. The price of WTI slid 2% and WCS by 2.4%. Aurora Cannabis<\/a> announced a share offering and fell as much as 7%, though closed -3.9%. Though the TSX topped 18,000 on Wednesday, the index lost ground for the week by 64 points to close 17,845.<\/p>\n 💿 Intel<\/a> -9.29% This week, you missed Past Top Picks comments by Peter Hodson, including Micron Technology (A Top Pick Feb 20\/19, Up 41%) Get Premium to receive all past top picks opinions a few hours before market open.
