Dernières nouvelles pour BJ's Wholesale Club (NYSE:BJ) Stock

BJ's Wholesale Club

BJ's Wholesale serves as one of the few warehouse club chains in the United States. Its more than 240 warehouses are primarily located along the East Coast, most prominently in the New England area. Similar to its warehouse club peers, BJ's charges annual membership fees and keeps costs down by operating a no-frills store environment. The company limits the use of distribution centers where possible and stores inventory on pallets directly on the sales floor, often in bulk quantities. The company also offers a limited assortment of stock-keeping units at its warehouses (around 7,000) to achieve greater procurement scale on select items. About 80% of BJ's net sales come from grocery items and general merchandise, with the remaining 20% coming from gasoline and other ancillary services.

The EU is reportedly set to investigate Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) in 2025 for favoring its in-house branded products.
What Happened: The EU is preparing a case against Amazon under its Digital Markets Act or DMA, reported Reuters, citing people with direct knowledge of the matter.
The probe will focus on whether Amazon&#8217;s marketplace gives an unfair advantage to its own products over those sold by third-party vendors. If Amazon is found to be in violation of the DMA, it could be hit with a fine amounting to 10% of its global annual turnover.

The decision to launch the investigation will be made by the incoming EU antitrust chief, Teresa Ribera, in the upcoming months.
Amazon did not immediately respond to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga's</a> request for comments.

Why It Matters: The DMA, which was implemented last year, prohibits Amazon and six other big tech firms from favoring their products and services on their platforms.
In January, Amazon&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/01/36688100/amazons-irobot-deal-faces-likely-rejection-from-eu-competition-watchdog-report">$1.7-billion acquisition</a> of iRobot Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IRBT#NASDAQ">IRBT</a>), was abandoned due to opposition from the EU&#8217;s competition watchdog.
Earlier this week, Amazon and Elon Musk-led SpaceX's efforts to block cases brought by the National Labor Relations Board or NLRB also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42054405/amazon-and-spacexs-efforts-to-block-nlrb-cases-in-jeopardy-as-appeals-court-raises-key-legal-concerns">faced obstacles</a>.
Amazon is contesting a case involving its first union at a warehouse in New York City.
Last month, Amazon reported a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41664778/amazon-q3-earnings-highlights-revenue-beat-eps-beat-q4-guidance-new-kindles-significantly-outperfor">successful third quarter</a> in 2024, with net sales of $158.9 billion, an 11% increase year-over-year, beating the Street consensus estimate of $157.2 billion.
Price Action: Amazon shares closed Thursday&#8217;s session down 2.22% at $198.38. In after-hours trading, the stock dropped further, reaching $198.08 at the time of writing, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Amazon At Risk Of Major Fine As EU Investigates Alleged Preference For In-House Products Under Digital Markets Act: Report

Bitcoin&#8216;s (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) surge toward $100,000 could face a significant pullback due to excessive market leverage, Galaxy Digital Holdings Ltd. CEO Mike Novogratz warned in a recent interview, even as the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/42127938/bitcoin-analyst-warns-of-4-6-flash-crashes-before-year-end-as-it-inches-closer-to-100k-thats-the-moment-altcoins-shoot-off">cryptocurrency continues setting new records</a>.
What Happened: The billionaire investor highlighted concerning levels of leverage in the crypto ecosystem. &#8220;There&#8217;s a ton of leverage in the system right now,&#8221; Novogratz <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPiWKHHiXyY">said</a> on CNBC. &#8220;The crypto community is levered to the gills, and so there will be a correction.&#8221;
While Novogratz maintains that Bitcoin reaching $100,000 is &#8220;inevitable&#8221; &#8211; with prices recently touching $99,000 &#8211; he projects a potential retreat to $80,000 during a correction phase. This would represent a 20% decline from the six-digit milestone.
The warning comes amid broader market developments, including MicroStrategy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>), completing a $3 billion <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/24/11/42126020/whats-going-on-with-microstrategy-stock-after-the-bell">convertible note offering to acquire additional Bitcoin</a>. The company currently holds 331,200 Bitcoin which it purchased at an average price of $49,874 per coin.

Supporting Novogratz&#8217;s cautionary stance, cryptocurrency analyst Michaël van de Poppe forecasts &#8220;4-6 flash crashes&#8221; before year-end, with Bitcoin potentially <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/42127938/bitcoin-analyst-warns-of-4-6-flash-crashes-before-year-end-as-it-inches-closer-to-100k-thats-the-moment-altcoins-shoot-off">dropping 5-10% in single-day moves</a>. Alternative cryptocurrencies could see even steeper declines of 20-30%.
Why It Matters: Despite these concerns, Novogratz expressed optimism about crypto&#8217;s regulatory outlook under President-elect Donald Trump&#8216;s administration. &#8220;The entire cabinet almost owns bitcoin, and are proponents of digital assets,&#8221; he noted, suggesting a &#8220;paradigm shift&#8221; in cryptocurrency regulation.
The current crypto market surge has pushed total market capitalization to $3.3 trillion, with Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) trading at $3,359 and Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>) reaching $262. Bitcoin currently trades at $98,563, maintaining its upward trajectory despite warnings of potential corrections.
&#8220;Normally you hit 100, you bounce off a bit,&#8221; Novogratz concluded while acknowledging the possibility of higher prices due to limited supply and strong demand, particularly from Middle Eastern investors and public equity markets.
Price Action: Bitcoin is currently trading at $99,138, up nearly 2.4% in the last 24 hours, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

Bitcoin's Path To $100K 'Inevitable' But Crypto Community Is 'Leveraged To The Gills,' Warns Galaxy's Mike Novogratz, Predicts Correction To $80K Ahead

Silicon Valley billionaire and venture capitalist <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41086806/elon-musk-mocks-vinod-khosla-after-openai-investor-mixes-up-argentinas-poverty-and-unemployment-rate">Vinod Khosla</a> has issued a bold prediction: artificial intelligence (AI) will replace most human jobs over the next 25 years.&nbsp;
In a recent blog post, Khosla wrote about the implications of AI and warned that "80% of 80% of all jobs, maybe more, can be done by AI, be it primary care doctors, psychiatrists, sales people, oncologists, farmworkers or assembly line workers, structural engineers, chip designers, you name it."

<li>Many are using this retirement income calculator to check if they&#8217;re on pace — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-do-i-calculate-my-retirement-income-adv" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">here&#8217;s a breakdown on how on what&#8217;s behind this formula.</a></li>
<li>Can you guess how many retire with a $5,000,000 nest egg? &#8211;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/retire-5mil-nest-egg"> How does it compare to the average?</a></li>

</ul>
Khosla's experience gives weight to his predictions. He cofounded Sun Microsystems and has invested heavily in tech giants like Amazon, Google and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41078513/openai-plans-to-more-than-double-chatgpt-price-over-next-5-years-report">OpenAI</a>. He has also spent over four decades studying disruptive technology and believes that AI will do most jobs "better, faster and cheaper" than humans, drastically changing the labor market.&nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A World Without Jobs</h2>
According to his blog, Khosla says that AI will create a world where human labor isn't necessary for most tasks. It can assist with and perform tasks like assembly line work, investment banking and even medical diagnosis.&nbsp;
The warnings Khosla discusses surrounding AI aren't meant to spread fear but to advocate for proactive solutions as our world heads in this direction. He talks about the risk of an "economic dystopia," where wealth becomes increasingly concentrated at the top – more so than it is now – and both intellectual and physical labor lose their value.&nbsp;
Khosla states that if governments don't proactively identify this problem and devise solutions for AI taking over jobs, millions could face <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/09/40760261/biden-administration-says-unemployment-is-low-but-do-americans-see-it-that-way">unemployment</a>.&nbsp;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Case for Universal Basic Income (UBI)</h2>
According to Khosla, universal basic income (UBI) is one solution to the looming AI job crisis. UBI is a government program that regularly provides every adult citizen with a set amount of money to help alleviate poverty.&nbsp;
Khosla believes that UBI will become essential as AI replaces jobs. It can provide a safety net for those whose jobs become automated. "As AI reduces the need for human labor, UBI could become crucial, with governments playing a key role in regulating AI's impact and ensuring equitable wealth distribution," he wrote.
The concept of UBI isn't new, but it has gained renewed attention as automation accelerates. Khosla joins a growing list of Silicon Valley figures, including Sam Altman and Mark Zuckerberg, who advocate for UBI to cushion the economic disruption caused by AI.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Shorter Workweek and More Meaningful Life</h2>
While Khosla spoke about AI&#8217;s challenges, he also presented several upsides, one of which is a shorter workweek. He envisions a world where AI handles mundane, labor-intensive jobs, freeing people up to take on more fulfilling activities. He believes that with the right policies, AI could bring about a three-day workweek, where people can focus more on hobbies, spend time with loved ones and enjoy life more.&nbsp;
"Life won't become less meaningful once we eradicate undesirable, toil-intensive jobs," he wrote. "Quite the opposite – life will become more meaningful as the need to work 40 hours per week could disappear within a few decades for those countries that adapt to these technologies."
Trending: Invest in $20+ trillion home equity market today across cities like Austin, Miami, and Los Angeles through a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/nada-cityfunds">unique 5-year term fund targeting a 14-20% IRR with minimums as low as $2,500</a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Balancing AI Innovation and Regulation</h2>
According to <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2024/11/19/tech/ai-risks-trump-elon-musk-intl/index.html">CNN article</a>, Elon Musk has consistently voiced concerns that AI could pose an existential threat to humanity, despite his company, xAI, developing a generative AI chatbot. Musk supported a proposed California bill designed to address catastrophic risks of AI systems becoming uncontrollable. However, Governor Gavin Newsom vetoed the bill, citing potential harm to innovation. Musk's worries align with suggestions that AI regulation might feature in future executive orders.
Within Trump's circle, opinions on AI regulation vary. JD Vance, the incoming vice-president, warned that excessive regulation could solidify dominance for established tech giants, stifling new innovators crucial for American growth. Interestingly, Musk's Tesla, a major tech player, is heavily invested in AI. The company highlighted its commitment to AI advancements in its latest earnings report, emphasizing its role in shaping the future of innovation.
Musk's dual stance highlights the tension between advocating for AI safety and fostering AI-driven progress.

Best And Worst Performing States For Cannabis Sales In 2024: YTD Winners & Losers

President-elect Donald Trump picked Pam Bondi, Florida&#8217;s former attorney general, to serve as U.S. attorney general in his second administration after his initial pick, Matt Gaetz, withdrew from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/24/11/42078192/trumps-attorney-general-pick-matt-gaetz-resigned-from-congress-ethics-committee-to-decide-if-report-will-be-released">consideration amid controversy</a>.
What Happened: Trump <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/113523536267976149">announced</a> the nomination Thursday on Truth Social, his social media platform, declaring his intent to reshape the Department of Justice. 
&#8220;For too long, the partisan Department of Justice has been weaponized against me and other Republicans &#8211; Not anymore,&#8221; Trump wrote. &#8220;Pam will refocus the DOJ to its intended purpose of fighting Crime, and Making America Safe Again,&#8221; 
Bondi, who served as Florida&#8217;s top prosecutor from 2011 to 2019, previously <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/23/06/32686203/desantis-vs-disney-saga-trump-appointee-replaces-judge-who-recused-himself-after-accusing-g">demonstrated loyalty to Trump</a> by joining his defense team during his first impeachment trial in 2020. During that trial, Trump faced charges of attempting to pressure Ukraine to investigate the Biden family.

Why It Metters: The nomination comes hours after Gaetz, who had been nominated on Nov 13, withdrew his name from consideration. The former congressman&#8217;s nomination faced significant hurdles due to past controversies, including a Justice Department sex-trafficking investigation <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42119848/matt-gaetz-withdraws-name-from-ag-nomination-calls-sex-trafficking-controversy-a-distraction">that concluded without charges</a>. 
The House Ethics Committee, which launched its own probe in 2021, reached a deadlock Wednesday on whether to release its investigative report.
Gaetz, who has consistently denied any wrongdoing, had <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/24/11/42078192/trumps-attorney-general-pick-matt-gaetz-resigned-from-congress-ethics-committee-to-decide-if-report-will-be-released">submitted his resignation</a> from Congress the same day as his initial nomination.

Trump Picks Former Florida AG Pam Bondi For Justice Department After Matt Gaetz Withdraws

Green Wednesday,to be celebrated next week on November 27, has become the cannabis industry's answer to Black Friday. This annual shopping event, known for its surge in sales, offers a critical opportunity for retailers to optimize their shelves based on insights into consumer behavior. According to New Frontier Data, understanding cannabis user archetypes can help businesses target key segments effectively and maximize revenue during this peak sales period.
One prominent consumer group, Savvy Connoisseurs, represents 13% of U.S. cannabis users and stands out as the most frequent and high-spending segment. These consumers, 75% of whom are under 45, use cannabis multiple times daily (54%) and purchase weekly (65%). Their typical spending exceeds $50 per visit (71%), making them a prime audience for Green Wednesday promotions. With diverse preferences across smokable and non-smokable products, this group's demand for flowers, edibles, and vapes underscores the importance of offering variety and discounts to drive engagement.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Relaxation Drives Recreational Lifestylers</h3>
Contemporary Lifestylers, who make up 16% of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/cannabis-marketing">cannabis consumers</a>, are another key segment on Green Wednesday. Consuming primarily to relax and unwind, they are frequent buyers, with over half purchasing weekly. <a href="https://newfrontierdata.com/equio-features/">According to New Frontier</a>, edibles and vape pens are popular among this group, alongside traditional smoking methods. They tend to stick to legal markets, sourcing primarily from dispensaries.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Medical And Dual-Use Consumers Eye Holiday Deals</h3>
Medical Lifestylers and Modern Medicinals use cannabis primarily for health reasons, including pain management and sleep improvement. Together, they account for nearly a quarter of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/cannabis-branding">consumers</a>. 
These segments often prefer non-smokable forms like<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/23/05/32279262/exclusive-are-topicals-an-untapped-market-for-cpg-brands-in-the-cannabis-industry"> tinctures and topicals</a>, with many making weekly purchases.
Green Wednesday promotions can strategically target Savvy Connoisseurs and recreational users with variety and discounts while appealing to medical users through wellness-focused offerings. 
With 37% of U.S. adults using cannabis at least annually, this shopping event continues to expand its reach and impact.

Green Wednesday's Biggest Weed Buyers: The Surprising Archetypes Driving Sales

NVIDIA Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) continues to dominate the artificial intelligence landscape, with CNBC&#8217;s Jim Cramer and Wall Street analysts reinforcing their bullish outlook following <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/11/42099904/nvidia-beats-q3-revenue-eps-estimates-supply-constraints-ding-stock-huang-says-age-of-ai-is-in-full-steam">the company&#8217;s stellar third-quarter earnings report</a>.
What Happened: &#8220;The demand is accelerating because the payoff is so great,&#8221; Cramer <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/11/21/demand-for-nvidia-products-isnt-letting-up-jim-cramer-says.html">said</a> on Thursday, citing CEO Jensen Huang&#8216;s assertion that customers earn five dollars for every dollar invested in Nvidia chips. 
This compelling return on investment, Cramer argues, makes Nvidia&#8217;s products essential for major tech companies. &#8220;That means they have no choice but to buy Nvidia's chips,&#8221; he said. 
The sentiment is echoed by Wedbush&#8216;s Dan Ives, who called the results a &#8220;jaw-dropper.&#8221; Ives predicts the Nasdaq could surge to 25,000, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/11/42102642/nvidia-delivered-jaw-dropping-q3-earnings-says-dan-ives-this-is-the-fourth-revolution-playing-out-in-front-of-our-eyes">driven by an extraordinary multiplier effect</a> where &#8220;one dollar spent on GPU chips translates to an $8 to $10 impact across the tech sector.&#8221;

Why It Matters: Nvidia reported third-quarter revenue of $35.1 billion, up 94% year-over-year, with Data Center revenue alone reaching $30.8 billion. The company&#8217;s CFO Colette Kress projects gross margins will temporarily dip to the low 70% range as the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42102796/nvidia-projects-gross-margin-recovery-as-blackwell-systems-drive-unprecedented-ai-demand">new Blackwell systems ramp up production</a>.
Rosenblatt analyst Hans Mosesmann maintained a Buy rating while <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42121003/nvidia-to-rally-more-than-50-here-are-10-top-analyst-forecasts-for-thursday">raising the price target</a> from $200 to $220. 
This optimism is reflected in a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/11/42121665/could-another-magnificent-7-stock-beat-nvidia-in-2025-poll-says-not-likely-27-pick-this-potential-winner">recent Benzinga poll</a>, where 48% of respondents believed Nvidia would continue to dominate the &#8220;Magnificent Seven&#8221; stocks in 2025, followed by Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) at 27%.
Huang describes this period as &#8220;the beginnings of two fundamental shifts in computing,&#8221; highlighting the transition to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42102796/nvidia-projects-gross-margin-recovery-as-blackwell-systems-drive-unprecedented-ai-demand">machine learning and AI&#8217;s emergence</a> as an industrial capability. The company projects fourth-quarter revenue of $37.5 billion, with Oracle Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>) already planning AI computing clusters scaling to over 131,000 Blackwell GPUs.
Price Action: Nvidia&#8217;s stock has surged more than 196% year-to-date, significantly outperforming the broader market and its &#8220;Magnificent Seven&#8221; peers, including Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) at 23.3% and Microsoft Corp.

Jim Cramer Doubles Down On Nvidia: 'Demand Is Accelerating' As AI Customers 'Have No Choice' But To Buy Its Chips

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) is reportedly developing a conversational AI-powered Siri to compete with OpenAI's ChatGPT and Alphabet Inc. subsidiary (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Google&#8217;s Gemini Live voice assistant.
What Happened: The new version of Siri will leverage large language models to allow back-and-forth interactions with quicker and more advanced responses, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-11-21/apple-readies-more-conversational-llm-siri-in-bid-to-rival-openai-s-chatgpt">reported</a> Bloomberg, citing people with knowledge of the matter.
Internally called "LLM Siri," the upgraded voice assistant is being tested as a separate app and will eventually replace the current interface on iPhones, iPads, and Macs.

Siri has long <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/04/32074627/alexa-vs-siri-amazon-and-apples-battle-to-make-worlds-best-personal-assistant-just-got-more-intense">lagged behind rivals</a> like Amazon.com, Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) Alexa, and Google Assistant in conversational capabilities.

Apple also plans to continue offering third-party chatbot integrations like ChatGPT and Gemini alongside LLM Siri.
The overhaul is expected to be announced alongside iOS 19 and macOS 16 in 2025, with a consumer rollout slated for spring 2026, the report noted.

Why It Matters: Last month, Bloomberg columnist Mark Gurman <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/newsletters/2024-10-20/apple-s-latest-ipad-mini-highlights-ai-advantage-sonos-considers-new-headphones-m2hkz4mn?srnd=undefined">reported</a> that Apple research showed that ChatGPT outperformed Siri by at least 25% in accuracy.
The standout feature between the two lies in ChatGPT's conversational design.
"Some at Apple believe that its generative AI technology — at least, so far — is more than two years behind the industry leaders," Gurman stated at the time.
However, the iPhone-maker is gradually catching up. Earlier, Apple CEO Tim Cook had said that the launch of Apple Intelligence was among the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/success-stories/24/10/41441641/apple-ceo-tim-cook-says-apple-intelligence-will-make-products-profoundly-different-new-ai-technol">most significant technology</a> releases in Apple&#8217;s history.
In October, Apple also reported fiscal <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41666494/apple-q4-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-beat-installed-base-hits-new-highs-iphone-sales-rise-as-apple-in">fourth-quarter revenue</a> of $94.9 billion, surpassing analysts&#8217; projections of $94.56 billion.
During the earnings call, Cook said that the rapid adoption of iOS 18.1 compared to iOS 17.1 is a definite sign of users' <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41674713/apple-users-hungry-for-ai-tim-cook-says-ios-18-1-has-twice-the-adoption-rate-of-17-1-what-it-means-f">interest in Apple Intelligence</a>.
Price Action: At the time of writing, Apple shares rose 0.018% to $228.56 in after-hours trading, after a 0.21% drop to $228.52 in Thursday&#8217;s regular session, according to<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/lxquj26b2sag"> Benzinga Pro data</a>.

Apple Prepares To Take On OpenAI's ChatGPT, Google Gemini 'Live' With LLM Siri In 2025: Report

Leading cryptocurrency analyst Michaël van de Poppe predicts several significant market corrections, even as Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42125642/bitcoin-ethereum-dogecoin-prepping-for-an-early-thanksgiving-btc-is-currently-less-than-one-eth-away-from-100000-says-trader">trades near record highs at $98,192</a>.
What Happened: &#8220;Bitcoin is going to take liquidity on lower levels,&#8221; van de Poppe warned on X, forecasting &#8220;4-6 flash crashes&#8221; before year-end. These corrections could see Bitcoin drop 5-10% in a single day, while alternative cryptocurrencies might experience even steeper declines of 20-30%.
However, van de Poppe suggests these dramatic drops could present strategic entry points for investors. &#8220;After such a flash crash on Bitcoin, that&#8217;s the moment where Bitcoin consolidates, and altcoins shoot off,&#8221; he explained, describing the market&#8217;s rotation pattern.
Despite Bitcoin&#8217;s approach toward $100,000, market sentiment remains notably subdued compared to previous bull runs, suggesting potential volatility ahead as van de Poppe predicts. &#8220;Timing those flash crashes is hard, but they do happen,&#8221; he cautioned, advising investors to prepare for these market movements.

Why It Matters: The warning comes amid a broader cryptocurrency market surge, with total market capitalization reaching $3.3 trillion. Major institutions continue showing confidence in the sector, exemplified by MicroStrategy Inc.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) recent $3 billion <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/24/11/42126020/whats-going-on-with-microstrategy-stock-after-the-bell">convertible note offering to acquire additional Bitcoin</a>.

Bitcoin Analyst Warns Of '4-6 Flash Crashes' Before Year-End As It Inches Closer To $100K: That's The Moment Altcoins 'Shoot Off'

Several US states stand out as having not adopted legal adult-use cannabis or medical marijuana. One of them is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/09/40858225/this-gubernatorial-nominees-cannabis-plan-could-generate-172m-annually-for-island-of-prohibition">Indiana</a>, where a new Republican-backed group is calling on state lawmakers to adopt policies to tax and regulate cannabis for adults 21 and older in the state.
A group called Safe and Regulated Indiana, which seeks to reshape Indiana&#8217;s approach to cannabis by focusing on public health, safety, and economic opportunity, came out on Thursday, <a href="https://indianacapitalchronicle.com/briefs/prominent-republicans-back-safe-and-regulated-marijuana-legalization-group/">reported</a> Indiana Capital Chronicle. 
"By embracing a smart and evidence-based approach that prioritizes public health, safety, and economic opportunity, we can give Hoosiers the access that they deserve and demand," said Joe Elsener, the group's spokesman and former Indiana Republican Party executive director.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Focus On Regulation, Not Legalization</h3>
Safe and Regulated Indiana's messaging avoids the term "legalization," but rather stresses "regulation."
A multimedia ad campaign <a href="https://app.frame.io/presentations/b3d9e5a9-44e4-4719-ac58-1124fcb33db0">already online </a>promotes the idea of taxing and regulating cannabis like alcohol to generate new tax revenue, reduce illegal drug sales and allow &#8220;new tax revenue for law enforcement,&#8221; to focus on violent crimes. It also claims regulation will put illegal dealers out of business.
"Tell your legislator it's time for safe and regulated marijuana," the ad concludes.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Economic And Public Safety Impacts</h3>
Indianapolis City-County Councilor Michael-Paul Hart stated that regulating cannabis like tobacco and alcohol could prevent underage access, create thousands of jobs, and bring "hundreds of millions of dollars of new revenue" to Indiana.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/23/01/30362663/lawmakers-file-marijuana-bills-in-island-of-prohibition-indiana">Neighboring states </a>like Illinois, Michigan and Ohio have already legalized recreational marijuana, while Kentucky has approved medical cannabis.
However, Indiana's leadership remains resistant. Outgoing Governor Eric Holcomb has long opposed legalization, and Governor-elect Mike Braun recently expressed conditional support for medical cannabis, contingent on law enforcement input. Earlier in 2024, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/indiana-cannabis">Indiana</a> Democrats introduced <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/01/36579299/indiana-democrats-propose-bills-to-legalize-medical-and-adult-use-cannabis">bills to legalize</a> medical and adult-use cannabis.

GOP-Led Group Calls For Legal Cannabis In Indiana: 'Tell Your Legislator It's Time'

A decades-long Danish study has found no significant link between cannabis use and increased age-related cognitive decline in men, challenging persistent <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/09/40989263/long-term-medical-cannabis-use-has-no-significant-harmful-effects-on-memory-or-impulse-control-n">stereotypes about cannabis consumers.</a>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Key Findings</h3>
Researchers from the University of Copenhagen followed 5,162 men over an average of 44 years, examining cognitive aging from early adulthood to late midlife.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42122260/study-reveals-psychedelic-ritual-cocktail-in-ancient-egyptian-mug">Study Reveals Psychedelic Ritual Cocktail In Ancient Egyptian Mug</a>
Contrary to common assumptions, the study revealed that cannabis users experienced slightly less cognitive decline than non-users. The average cognitive decline across the participants was 6.2 IQ points, with cannabis users showing 1.3 fewer IQ points of decline compared to non-users.
The findings, <a href="https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/brb3.70136">published</a> in the journal Brain and Behavior, align with prior studies suggesting cannabis use is not associated with greater cognitive impairment in adulthood. 
However, the researchers caution that further investigations are necessary to determine if these results indicate no adverse long-term effects or if the effects of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/08/40536603/can-thc-turn-back-the-clock-cannabis-reverses-brain-aging-boosts-mental-capacity-new-study-sugge">cannabis use dissipate over time.</a>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Expert Reactions</h3>
"These results contradict one of the more prominent and longstanding stereotypes about cannabis and cannabis consumers,&#8221; said Paul Armentano, deputy director of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML).
"It is even more unfortunate that studies refuting these long-held stereotypes seldom receive the type of mainstream attention they deserve."
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Context And Broader Implications</h3>
While this study adds to evidence refuting claims of significant cognitive decline in cannabis users, it is essential to note the distinction between adult and adolescent cannabis exposure. 
The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) warns that heavy cannabis use during adolescence may cause permanent changes to the developing brain, which continues to mature until approximately age 25.
In contrast, a separate recent study found <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/23/03/31293224/study-asserts-long-term-cannabis-use-leads-to-hippocampal-shrinkage-lower-iq-poor-learning-abil-">no adverse effects</a> on brain structure or cognitive function among adult medical cannabis users after a year of consistent use.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Hemp THC Sales Bypass Cannabis Regulations</h3>
This downturn, detailed in a recent <a href="https://coloradosun.com/2024/11/21/colorado-marijuana-sales-taxes-intoxicating-hemp/">article</a> in The Colorado Sun, is attributed to increased market competition, falling wholesale cannabis prices, and the rise of so-called intoxicating hemp products. These <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/01/36584043/real-weed-or-a-lab-high-delta-8-and-delta-9-thc-explained">psychoactive hemp-derived products</a>, such as delta-8 THC, mimic the effects of delta-9 THC but are less potent and have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/11/41775784/hemp-vs-marijuana-industry-tensions-rise-amid-rejection-of-cannabis-legalization-in-florida-the-">gained widespread popularity</a>.
Since the legalization of hemp in 2018 under the federal <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/24/11/42068539/billion-dollar-strike-farm-bill-amendment-could-change-the-hemp-industry">Farm Bill</a>, a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/23/01/30442687/controversial-delta-8-thc-products-garner-2b-in-sales-over-2-years-so-whats-the-problem">$2.2 billion quasi-legal market for hemp-derived THC products</a> has emerged. These products, including THC-infused seltzers, gummies, and brownies, often bypass the regulatory framework governing marijuana sales.

&#8220;You&#8217;ve put a pretty robust regulatory structure in place around marijuana, and you have this product that is sort of laughing in the face of that structure,&#8221; said Craig Harper, Joint Budget Committee staff director, at a recent budget hearing, according to The Colorado Sun.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Lawmakers Push For Stricter Hemp Rules</h3>
State lawmakers have attempted to curb this competition. In 2023, Colorado restricted intoxicating hemp sales to licensed marijuana retailers.&nbsp;
Meanwhile, state attorneys general, including Colorado's Phil Weiser, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/01/36617725/12-state-attorneys-general-to-dea-reschedule-marijuana-to-defend-public-safety-cannabis-stocks-j">are urging Congress to impose stricter federal limits</a> on hemp-derived THC. However, enforcement challenges persist due to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/24/11/42068539/billion-dollar-strike-farm-bill-amendment-could-change-the-hemp-industry">legal ambiguities</a>.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Cannabis Tax Cuts Impact State Programs</h3>
The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/08/40641980/denvers-marijuana-revenue-drops-34-but-cannabis-crime-rates-remain-low">declining cannabis tax revenue</a> has forced the state to cut programs funded by these taxes, including delaying a $20 million payment to a public school construction grant program.&nbsp;
Moreover, the Colorado Sun notes Governor Jared Polis has proposed further reductions in marijuana-funded services for the 2025 legislative session.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Nationwide Trends Highlight Colorado's Struggles</h3>
Colorado is not alone in experiencing declining cannabis sales. Washington and California, both early adopters of legalization, have reported drops in revenue. However, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/10/41322446/is-colorados-cannabis-market-back-on-track-a-5-sales-boost-says-yes">Colorado's 8% year-over-year decline surpasses the national average</a>, highlighting the unique pressures on its market.
As competition from hemp THC products grows and regulatory uncertainties persist, Colorado's marijuana industry faces mounting pressure to adapt.

Colorado's Marijuana Sales, Tax Revenue Slump Amid Hemp Competition

<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/10/41552860/boeing-plans-to-sell-off-major-assets-as-the-company-scrambles-to-remain-profitable-and-stay-competi">Boeing </a>has initiated layoffs that will impact 2,199 workers in Washington state. The move is part of broader plans to downsize its workforce by about 17,000 amid persistent financial and operational struggles.&nbsp;
According to a notice filed with Washington's Employment Security Department, the aerospace company will continue implementing job cuts nationwide, raising concerns about its trajectory in a highly competitive industry.

</ul>
The reductions are part of a strategy announced in October when Boeing revealed plans to reduce its workforce by 10%. The layoffs affect multiple divisions – commercial airplanes, defense and global services – and span facilities in several states, including Missouri, Arizona, South Carolina and its base in Arlington, Virginia.&nbsp;
According to The Seattle Times, these cuts mark one of the largest workforce adjustments Boeing has made in recent years. Before the layoffs, Boeing employed around 66,000 workers in Washington.&nbsp;
Over 400 Society of Professional Engineering Employees in Aerospace (SPEEA) members received notices last week, although these employees will remain on payroll until mid-January.&nbsp;

The Machinists' union also confirmed that many unionized workers recently returned to assembly lines following a nearly two-month strike. In an October call with analysts, Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg said that the Machinists&#8217; strike wasn't the primary factor driving <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/10/41493900/meta-ceo-zuckerberg-dismisses-workers-making-over-six-figures-for-taking-advantage-of-company-food-d">layoffs</a> but was instead tied to overstaffing.
He highlighted challenges in scaling production, particularly for the 737 MAX, under Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) restrictions limiting production to 38 planes per month – a target Boeing has yet to achieve consistently.
According to the FAA, the company's compliance issues contributed to delays in ramping up production. A recent incident involving a detached door plug in flight on an Alaska Airlines plane further eroded confidence in Boeing's safety standards.
Financially, Boeing continues to face turbulence. The company reported a $6.1 billion loss for the third quarter of 2024, citing slower production rates and supply chain disruptions. According to Travel And Tour World, demand for new aircraft remains 15% below pre-pandemic levels, compounding recovery challenges.

Still, some experts see the layoffs as a calculated step. In an interview on KIRO 7, Scott Hamilton said, "Boeing is bloated and needs to lose some weight – and these cuts will be tough but necessary."
However, critics argue that Boeing's aggressive downsizing will do more harm than good. Ray Goforth, the Executive Director of the Society of Professional Engineering Employees in Aerospace (SPEEA), said in a statement: "Rather than resolve the IAM strike and focus the company's resources on rebuilding the trust of regulators and customers, Boeing leadership has decided to harm every aspect of the company."

Boeing Announces 2,200 Job Cuts In Washington And Oregon – Is The Aerospace Giant Bracing For Turbulence?

Canopy Growth Corporation&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CGC#NASDAQ">CGC</a>) stock has fallen significantly from its recent highs in May 2024.
After reaching a peak of $16.41, the stock now trades around $3.93, raising questions about its potential for recovery and long-term investment viability. In this article, we take a closer look at Canopy&#8217;s medium-term performance and provide insights for investors who might be curious about this key industry player.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Fibonacci Analysis: Key Resistance And Support Levels</h3>
A Fibonacci retracement analysis shows that the stock has retraced to the&nbsp;78.6% level (circa $3.86), a critical support point. Holding above this level could trigger a potential bounce, while failure to do so risks further declines toward the pre-rally starting point of&nbsp;$2.57.
On the upside, the&nbsp;61.8% retracement level (circa $6.36)&nbsp;represents a significant resistance zone. The stock tested this level twice: once during the last week of October and again during the first week of November. Breaking through this resistance would signal renewed investor confidence and could open the door to testing the&nbsp;50% level ($8.50) &#8211; a psychologically important milestone.
The company reported&nbsp;$1.23 billion in total assets&nbsp;for the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/11/41843751/canopy-growth-q2-net-revenue-drops-9-yoy-projects-positive-earnings-ahead">most recent quarter</a>, with&nbsp;$509.668 million in shareholder equity&nbsp;and a&nbsp;market capitalization of $396.154 million.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Is Canopy A Good Investment?</h3>
At current levels, Canopy Growth presents a high-risk, high-reward profile, similar to other <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/cannabis-stocks">cannabis companies</a>. The&nbsp;78.6% retracement support&nbsp;makes it appealing for speculative investors betting on a recovery. However, if the stock falls below $3.86, further declines could follow, raising concerns about profitability and long-term sustainability.
In the short term, there may be trading opportunities, but careful monitoring of other technical indicators is necessary.
For long-term investors, Canopy's future depends on its ability to<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/market-summary/24/11/42100955/the-u-s-cannabis-strategy-no-ones-talking-about-inside-canopys-300m-plan"> grow revenue</a>,<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/10/41381387/canopy-growth-slashes-debt-with-100m-loan-prepayment-saves-14m-in-interest"> reduce debt</a>, and capitalize on the U.S. market: something that the company seems to be <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/market-summary/24/11/42100955/the-u-s-cannabis-strategy-no-ones-talking-about-inside-canopys-300m-plan">set to do</a>. But, from a technical standpoint, until the stock breaks above&nbsp;circa $6.36, signaling a broader reversal, caution is recommended.

What's Happening With Canopy Growth: Is It Time To Buy?

According to an SEC <a href="https://www.sec.gov/ix?doc=/Archives/edgar/data/1498710/000095010324016405/dp220813_8k.htm">filing</a>, Spirit Airlines, Inc. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SAVEQ#OTC">SAVEQ</a>) CEO Ted Christie was paid a $3.8 million retention bonus just one week before the budget airline<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42032477/spirit-airlines-eyes-financial-stability-with-chapter-11-filing-and-equity-injection"> filed for bankruptcy. </a>
The Details: Spirit Airlines <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/11/n42030743/spirit-airlines-announces-comprehensive-agreement-to-deleverage-balance-sheet-and-position-the-com">filed for</a> Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on Monday and announced a comprehensive balance sheet restructuring plan aimed at reducing its debt and allowing the airline to continue <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/42083607/as-spirit-airlines-files-for-bankruptcy-experts-weigh-potential-impact-on-flight-prices-this-is-not-a-black-and-white-situation">to operate</a> through the bankruptcy process.&nbsp;
Spirit's existing bondholders agreed to take a $350 million ownership position in a reorganized airline and erased $795 million of debt. They also agreed to provide $300 million of debt-in-possession financing, giving Spirit access to cash that will allow it to continue to pay employee wages and benefits through its reorganization.

"This set of transactions will materially strengthen our balance sheet and position Spirit for the future while we continue executing on our strategic initiatives to transform our guest experience, providing new enhanced travel options, greater value and increased flexibility," Christie said. 
The troubled airline also saw its stock delisted from the New York Stock Exchange (the ticker was SAVE) and is now trading in the over-the-counter marketplace. Spirit disclosed the shares are expected to be canceled and will have no value when the reorganization process is completed. 
Spirit <a href="https://www.sec.gov/ix?doc=/Archives/edgar/data/1498710/000095010324016405/dp220813_8k.htm">approved</a> large retention bonuses for its top executives on Nov. 12, six days before the company announced the restructuring and filed for bankruptcy. CEO Christie&#8217;s retention bonus was $3.8 million, which he gets to keep if he remains with the company for another year.

Spirit Airlines CEO Gets $3.8 Million Bonus 1 Week Before Company Files Bankruptcy

Best known for providing election polls and analysis, Nate Silver has a new prediction, or rather a suggestion that Vice President Kamala Harris should become president, despite losing the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41768178/donald-trump-defeats-kamala-harris-to-win-2024-election">2024 presidential election.</a>
What Happened: Silver doesn't think that Harris should be declared the winner of the 2024 presidential election, but rather should take over for outgoing President Joe Biden for the remainder of his term ahead of Donald Trump's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/24/11/41784933/donald-trumps-wealth-soars-with-2024-election-win-heres-how-much-president-elect-is-worth-ho">return to the White House.</a>
"Is there any particular reason to assume Biden is competent to be president right now? It's a very difficult job. It's a dangerous world. Extremely high-stakes decisions in Ukraine. He should resign and let Harris serve out the last two months," Silver <a href="https://x.com/NateSilver538/status/1859267392578179197">tweeted</a>.
The comments from Silver come after it was reported that Biden avoided the press while in South America for the G-20 summit, as <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/11/20/us-news/pollster-nate-silver-calls-on-biden-to-resign-after-claiming-he-isnt-competent-let-harris-serve/">reported </a>by the New York Post.

</ul>
Why It's Important: Age has been an important topic during the 2024 election cycle with Biden 82 years old and President-elect Trump 78 years old.
When Biden leaves the White House, he will break the record for the oldest president at the end of their term by more than four years, surpassing Ronald Reagan who was nearly 78 when he left the White House in 1989.
Trump will break the record for the oldest president at the start of a term, breaking Biden's current record of 78 years, 61 days set in January 2021.
Silver previously argued Biden should be replaced on the Democratic ticket for the 2024 election, an event that came true after Biden withdrew from the race after a poor showing in the first presidential debate.
Biden<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s/24/11/42038707/gold-natural-gas-prices-rally-us-russia-tensions-escalate-over-ukraines-long-range-strikes"> recently authorized</a> Ukraine to use U.S.-supplied missiles in their attacks against Russia, an event that has escalated tensions in Europe and led to more concerns about the president's decisions during his last remaining time in the White House.
If Biden were to step down, Harris would become the first female president of the U.S., although it would come as a short-time event and after American voters have still not elected a female president to the White House.
