<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy TME Stock</h2>
Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share &#8211; or fractional share &#8211; of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument. 
For example, in Tencent Music Enter Gr (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TME#NYSE">TME</a>)'s case, it is in the Communication Services sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.
According to data from&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, TME has a 52-week high of $15.77 and a 52-week low of $9.14.

(AMEX:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LODE#AMEX">LODE</a>) shares are trading higher premarket on Friday after the company unveiled a strategic partnership and investment agreement with <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/02/g44038306/comstock-fuels-completes-financing-with-marathon-petroleum" rel="noreferrer noopener">Marathon Petroleum Corporation </a><a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/02/g44038306/comstock-fuels-completes-financing-with-marathon-petroleum" rel="noreferrer noopener">(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MPC#NYSE">MPC</a>)</a>.
Under this collaboration, Comstock Fuels Corporation, a subsidiary of Comstock, has signed definitive agreements with Marathon's subsidiaries, including buying Comstock Fuels equity worth $14 million.

Comstock Fuels intends to leverage the Madison Facility to enhance its current pilot production operations in Wausau, Wisconsin.

The transaction grants Marathon board observation rights at Comstock Fuels and reaffirms both parties&#8217; commitment to finalizing an offtake agreement, joint development agreement and warrant agreement by May 31, 2025.
In February, Comstock&#8217;s subsidiary amended its exclusive license agreement with RenFuel K2B AB.

Solana Rises More Than 6% In 24 hours

Most people who've found success want to give back. It just feels right—like sharing your good fortune is part of what makes it worthwhile. But there's a nagging issue that stops a lot of people in their tracks: transparency. When you donate, how do you really know your money's being used the way they promised?
Kevin O'Leary raised this <a href="https://x.com/kevinolearytv/status/1892212553280819410">exact question on X</a> last week, and honestly, it&#8217;s a common concern. In an interview clip shared on the platform, he put it pretty bluntly, saying, "Charity isn't about tossing money into a black hole and hoping for the best." What really bothered him was the uncertainty: "How do I know my money actually went to what I was told it would do? That really troubled me. Because I had no idea what they did with it."
Don't Miss:

<li><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">Are you rich?</a> Here&#8217;s what Americans think you need to be considered wealthy.</li>
</ul>
According to the <a href="https://www.nptrust.org/philanthropic-resources/charitable-giving-statistics/">National Philanthropic Trust</a>, the average donor in the U.S. is 64 years old and makes two charitable donations annually.&nbsp;
Research also indicates that charitable giving tends to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/11/41694339/80-of-young-wealthy-prefer-to-be-called-givers-how-millennials-and-gen-z-are-redefining-philanth">increase with age</a>. A study highlighted by <a href="https://www.nptechforgood.com/2023/08/04/6-generations-of-giving-who-gives-the-most-and-how-they-prefer-to-give/">Nonprofit Tech for Good</a> found that 88% of individuals born between 1925 and 1945 donate to charity, contributing an average of $1,367 across 6.2 organizations a year.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Charitable giving shouldn't be guesswork. Before changing his approach, O'Leary and his wife, Linda, were bombarded by requests from different charities—each with a compelling story. They'd donate once and then never again, like a scattered "machine gun" approach that didn't really accomplish much.
Trending: Deloitte's fastest-growing software company partners with Amazon, Walmart &amp; Target – <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mode-mobile-2">Many are rushing to grab 4,000 of its pre-IPO shares for just $0.26/share!</a>
Then they decided to get strategic, creating a method they call the "5 for 5" system. They chose five charities and committed to supporting them consistently for five years. But—and this is key—they treated these charities almost like investments. O'Leary asked for quarterly reports showing performance and expense ratios, just like you'd expect from a money manager. His reasoning? "I don't want to fund overhead—I want to fund the mission." If a charity's overhead costs became too high or if transparency slipped, they'd simply stop giving.
This might sound a bit tough, but it's actually <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/11/41866296/with-warren-buffett-donating-99-of-his-fortune-whats-left-for-his-three-children-well-its-complicated">just smart philanthropy</a>. It's not about being stingy; it's about making sure the money actually goes to the people or causes you want to help. It's accountability.
See Also: If there was a new fund backed by Jeff Bezos offering a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/arrived-private-credit-fund">7-9% target yield with monthly dividends would you invest in it</a>?
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/02/43816145/i-dont-have-any-debt-kevin-oleary-pays-for-everything-in-cash-but-a-finance-youtuber-points-out-its-easy-to-avoid-debt-when-youre-rich">O'Leary's perspective</a> hits home because it reflects what a lot of people feel but don't always say openly. Wanting clarity and accountability in charitable giving is completely valid—and frankly, more charities might benefit from operating this way. Imagine if every donor expected results as clearly as they <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">expect investment returns</a>.
So, next time you're thinking of donating, remember O'Leary's approach. Giving generously doesn't mean giving blindly. It means making sure your generosity actually makes a difference.

<h3>Understanding the Significance of Insider Transactions</h3>
Considering insider transactions is valuable, but it's crucial to evaluate them in conjunction with other investment factors.
When discussing legal matters, the term "insider" refers to any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than ten percent of a company's equity securities, as stipulated in Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This includes executives in the c-suite and significant hedge funds. Such insiders are required to report their transactions through a Form 4 filing, which must be completed within two business days of the transaction.
A new purchase by a company insider is a indication that they anticipate the stock will rise.
On the other hand, insider sells may not necessarily indicate a bearish view and can be motivated by various factors.
<h3>A Closer Look at Important Transaction Codes</h3>
When it comes to transactions, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">investors</a> tend to focus on those in the open market, detailed in Table I of the Form 4 filing.

<h3>Why Insider Activity Matters in Finance</h3>
Insider transactions shouldn't be used primarily to make an investing decision, however an insider transaction can be an important factor in the investing decision. 
In legal terms, an "insider" refers to any officer, director, or beneficial owner of more than ten percent of a company's equity securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This can include executives in the c-suite and large hedge funds. These insiders are required to let the public know of their transactions via a Form 4 filing, which must be filed within two business days of the transaction.
When a company insider makes a new purchase, that is an indication that they expect the stock to rise.
