The stock market has had a rough start to the year, with major indices down 10%, 16%, and 7% year to date. However, some stocks have shown positive returns, including Palantir Technologies, T-Mobile US, and CrowdStrike Holdings. Palantir is up 23% YTD, showing relative strength in the market.

T-Mobile stands out among telecom companies, starting as a wireless business and avoiding legacy costs. Its focus on the U.S. shields it from tariff concerns, and strategic acquisitions have boosted its market share and quality of service. T-Mobile also leads in total returns compared to competitors.

CrowdStrike Holdings has seen a 10% gain this year, despite most tech stocks being down. Its cybersecurity solutions, powered by AI, appeal to customers facing costly breaches. With a focus on the U.S., limited international exposure may shield CrowdStrike from tariff impacts, making it a strong long-term investment.
