 Canopy Growth Corp. shares fell 11% in premarket trades Friday after it said its fourth-quarter loss narrowed to C$574.6 million, or $1.46 a share, from C$700 million, or $1.85 a share in the year-ago quarter. Revenue for the three months ended March 31 fell to C$126.1 million from C$167.4 million in the year-ago period. Analysts expected Constellation Brands Inc.-backed backed Canopy Growth to report a loss of 30 cents a share on revenue of C$129.9 million, according to FactSet. Looking ahead, Canopy Growth expects to generate positive adjusted Ebitda in fiscal year 2024, excluding investments in BioSteel drinks and its U.S. THC businesses. "Achieving profitability is critical and we have undertaken additional initiatives to streamline and drive efficiencies for our global cannabis business," said CEO David Klein. "In FY2023, we are focused on executing our path to profitability in Canada, while we continue to invest in high potential opportunities -- particularly in BioSteel, and further developing our U.S. THC ecosystem, which we believe remains significantly under-appreciated by the market." Prior to Friday's trades, shares of Canopy Growth are down 35.5% in 2022 compared to a drop of 25% by the Nasdaq and a loss of 41.9% by the Cannabis ETF .

Americans will commemorate its fallen military personnel, and mark the unofficial start of summer, this Memorial Day, Monday, May 30. And the stock market will indeed be closed for Memorial Day, ensuring that investors can focus on the events of the day rather than watching the stock market continue its roller-coaster ways.
In many ways, 2022's day of commemoration is sure to feel more normal than the past two years. The COVID-19 pandemic largely clamped down on celebrations in 2020 and still cast a pall over 2021. And while the disease is far from contained, Americans clearly plan to travel.

AAA estimates that 39.2 million travelers will fly or drive this Memorial Day weekend ... still down from 2019's 42.8 million people who either booked flights or drove at least 50 miles to a destination, but up from last year's 36.2 million. That's naturally expected to keep upward pressure on gas prices, which have shot 40% higher from the start of 2022 alone.
But one thing that stays the same, year after year? Investors are getting a long weekend. Both the stock market and the bond market will be closed on May 30 in observation of Memorial Day. Also, the bond market will close early May 27, the Friday before Memorial Day.
Regular trading in stocks and bonds resumes on Tuesday, May 31.

Most people work 35 to 45 years or more. It's a long haul, and when it's finally over, they deserve to enjoy their retirement. If they've been diligent about their saving and overall retirement planning, the fruits of their decades of labor can be quite rewarding.

Knowing how to navigate the distribution phase of retirement is crucial. And the first thing to know is that retirement planning doesn't end on your last day of work - when the distribution phase begins. This is when you start using the savings and investments built up during the accumulation phase to supplement regular income from Social Security, pensions and other income streams while supporting your retirement lifestyle. And though this new stage of life you've worked so hard toward can be fun and liberating, the idea of spending money with no income from work can cause stress and worry. Did you save enough, and will it last long enough?
Once you're ready to retire and are living off your assets, you can ease your concerns by having a strong grasp of your distribution plan. Here are some steps you can take to come up with a plan before retirement that will allow you to determine your income needs, take distributions smartly and retire comfortably.
Start with your priorities
If you plan to travel extensively, you'll want to build that priority into your budget. If you're a homebody, your priorities will be geared more toward maintaining your home and spending on your hobbies. Someone who wants to leave a legacy would have a different way of investing, because they're looking at long-term objectives with their money.
It helps to have an honest conversation with your spouse to see what's important to you both. Write down the top five things that matter to you and discuss them together.
