(NASDAQ: CRWD) stock is up 7% in the last month and over 10% in 2025. And if analysts are correct, CrowdStrike still has plenty of room to run.

So shareholders can’t be too scared of the additional sell-off in MSFT stock since the Trump tariff policy caused the markets to swoon. However, with the stock trading near its 52-week low and at a level not seen since October 2023, it’s fair to ask if the stock has become too cheap to ignore.

I was grateful to be a guest of Bridget Bennett on a live stream for the @MarketBeatCom #YouTube channel. We talked about another crazy day in the markets, why gold is glittering and more. https://t.co/LnnhKK86j3

In advance of its earnings report in early May, @PalantirTech stock is higher after announcing a deal with NATO. That's the focus of my latest article for @MarketBeatCom https://t.co/g2tF9fUTnM

There’s a certain irony to be sitting with my tax professional at the same time, the tariff pause was announced. She lamented why only the rich can own stocks while looking at the 1099 from my brokerage and clearly knowing I am not rich. Start small if you can, but start.
