Here's How Much You Would Have Made Owning Tesla Stock In The Last 10 Years

<p>The phrase "the one percent" gets tossed around a lot in conversations about wealth and inequality, whether in politics, protests, or everyday chats. But what does it mean to be in the top 1%? Let's break it down by income and net worth to get a clearer picture of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/09/40711869/how-rich-are-you-heres-the-net-worth-that-defines-upper-middle-and-lower-class">who's part of this exclusive group.</a></p>

</ul>
<p><strong>What Income Puts You in the Top 1%?</strong></p>
<p>To be in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/07/39652328/your-income-might-be-upper-class-and-you-dont-know-it-heres-the-salary-needed-to-reach-elite-sta">top 1% of earners</a> in the U.S., a household must bring in at least $591,550 a year. For a single individual, the cutoff is $407,500. Remember, these numbers are averages and can vary depending on where you live. For example, earning that much in New York City might not stretch as far as it does in other parts of the country.</p>
<p><strong>The Top 1% by Net Worth</strong></p>
<p>When it comes to net worth, the threshold is even higher. To be part of the top 1% in the U.S., a household's net worth needs to be at least $13.6 million. This measure includes everything you own – homes, investments, savings – minus debts.</p>
<p>Wealth tends to be a lot more unevenly distributed than income. Many households have little to no net worth, while the top tier sits on massive wealth. That's why net worth often gives a clearer picture of someone's financial status than income alone.</p>
<p><strong>Trending: Beating the market through ethical real estate investing' — </strong><strong>t<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/invest-with-roots">his platform aims to give tenants equity in the homes they live in while scoring 17.17% average annual returns for investors – here&#8217;s how to join with just $100</a></strong></p>
<p><strong>Income vs. Net Worth: Which Tells the Real Story?</strong></p>
<p>So, which is more important, income or net worth? It depends on what you're trying to measure. Income is great for understanding how much someone earns in a year, but net worth is the better gauge for long-term financial stability and overall wealth. Someone with a high income might not have a high net worth if they spend a lot or have significant debt, while someone with a lower income but solid investments could be much wealthier.</p>
<p><strong>How Many People Are in the 1%?</strong></p>
<p>As of the latest numbers, there are around 1.3 million households and about 1.8 million individual workers who fall into the top 1% in the U.S. That's a small slice of the population but represents a significant share of the country's wealth and income.</p>
<p><strong>Trending: Commercial real estate has historically outperformed the stock market, and<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/marcus-millichap-backed-platform-makes-it-easy-to-invest-in-real-estate"><strong> </strong><strong>this platform allows individuals to invest in commercial real estate with as little as $5,000 offering a 12% target yield with a bonus 1% return boost today!</strong></a></strong></p>
<p><strong>State-by-State Variations</strong></p>
<p>The income required to be in the top 1% varies significantly across states. For example:</p>
<ul>
<li>Connecticut has the highest threshold at $952,902</li>
<li>Massachusetts follows at $903,401</li>
<li>California comes in third at $844,266</li>
<li>On the lower end, Mississippi has a threshold of just $254,362</li>

<p><strong>Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>)</strong> today experienced a Power Inflow, a significant event for those who follow where smart money goes and value order flow analytics in their trading decisions.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Today, at <strong>10:37AM on </strong>October <strong>4th</strong>, a significant trading signal occurred for <strong>Meta Platforms Inc.</strong> as it demonstrated a Power Inflow at a price of <strong>$582.40</strong>. This indicator is crucial for traders who want to know directionally where institutions and so-called "smart money" moves in the market. They see the value of utilizing order flow analytics to guide their trading decisions. The Power Inflow points to a possible uptrend in Meta&#8217;s stock, marking a potential entry point for traders looking to capitalize on the expected upward movement. Traders with this signal closely watch for sustained momentum in Meta&#8217;s stock price, interpreting this event as a bullish sign.</p>
<p><strong>Signal description</strong></p>
<p>Order flow analytics, aka transaction or market flow analysis, separate and study both the retail and institutional volume rate of orders (flow). It involves analyzing the flow of buy and sell orders, along with size, timing, and other associated characteristics and patterns, to gain insights and make more informed trading decisions. <em>This particular indicator is interpreted as a bullish signal by active traders.</em>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Power Inflow occurs within the first two hours of the market open and generally signals the trend that helps gauge the stock&#8217;s overall direction, powered by institutional activity in the stock, for the remainder of the day.&nbsp;</p>
<p>By incorporating order flow analytics into their trading strategies, market participants can better interpret market conditions, identify trading opportunities, and potentially improve their trading performance. But let's not forget that while watching smart money flow can provide valuable insights, it is crucial to incorporate effective risk management strategies to protect capital and mitigate potential losses. Employing a consistent and effective risk management plan helps traders navigate the uncertainties of the market in a more controlled and calculated manner, increasing the likelihood of long-term success</p>

<p><em><strong>After Market Close UPDATE</strong></em>:</p>
<p>The price at the time of the Power Inflow was <strong>$582.40</strong>. The returns on the High price (<strong>$596.52</strong>) and Close price (<strong>$595.94)</strong> after the Power Inflow were respectively <strong>2.4% and 2.3%%. That is why it is important to have a</strong> trading plan that includes Profit Targets and Stop Losses that reflect your risk appetite. In this case the high of the day and close were very close but that is not always the case</p>

<h2>About Newmont</h2>
<p>Newmont is the world's largest gold miner. It bought Goldcorp in 2019, combined its Nevada mines in a joint venture with competitor Barrick later that year, and also purchased competitor Newcrest in November 2023. Its portfolio includes 17 wholly or majority owned mines and interests in two joint ventures in the Americas, Africa, Australia and Papua New Guinea. The company is expected to produce roughly 6.9 million ounces of gold in 2024. However, after buying Newcrest, Newmont is likely to sell a number of its higher cost, smaller mines accounting for 20% of forecast sales in 2024. Newmont also produces material amounts of copper, silver, zinc, and lead as byproducts. It had about two decades of gold reserves along with significant byproduct reserves at the end of December 2023.</p>

The Analyst Verdict: American Intl Gr In The Eyes Of 12 Experts

<p>The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) is holding firm on its stance that medical marijuana users should not allowed to own a gun, citing safety risks.</p>
<p>In a recent filing, federal attorneys argued that the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/06/39488414/cannabis-guns-kentucky-2nd-amendment-meet-the-atf-if-you-say-yes-to-medical-marijuana-the-answer">ban on gun ownership</a> for cannabis users is constitutional and should remain in place. </p>
<p>This aligns with federal regulations barring gun access for individuals considered potentially dangerous, such as those who are mentally ill or under the influence, <a href="https://www.marijuanamoment.net/doj-says-allowing-a-pennsylvania-prosecutor-who-uses-medical-marijuana-to-possess-a-gun-would-be-dangerous/">reported</a> Marijuana Moment.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Pennsylvania Prosecutor Challenges Federal Gun Ban</strong></h3>
<p>This filing responds to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/01/36750779/guns-and-weed-conflict-heats-up-pennsylvania-da-sues-feds-over-firearms-ban-for-medical-marijuan">a lawsuit</a> by <strong>Robert Greene</strong>, the<strong> District Attorney of Warren County</strong>, Pennsylvania, who is a registered medical marijuana patient. Along with the Second Amendment Foundation, Greene filed suit against the DOJ, <strong>Attorney General Merrick Garland</strong> and other federal agencies, arguing that the ban infringes on his right to bear arms for self-defense.</p>
<p>The DOJ&#8217;s filing, submitted to the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania, seeks to dismiss Greene&#8217;s suit. </p>
<p>"Marijuana's physical and mental effects impair a person's judgment, including judgment about whether to use firearms," it says.</p>
<p>The next step for Robert Greene's case involves a federal court decision on his request for a preliminary injunction.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Contradictory Ruling In Texas Gun &amp; Cannabis Rights Case</strong></h3>
<p>Greene's case is not the only legal battle on this issue. In a separate case, the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that cannabis users cannot be barred from owning firearms.</p>
<p>The ruling arose from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/08/40655441/cannabis-users-cannot-be-barred-from-gun-ownership-u-s-appeals-court-rules">the case</a> of <strong>Paola Connelly</strong>, a Texas resident whose right to bear arms was upheld despite her past marijuana use. "Marijuana user or not, Paola is a member of our political community and thus has a presumptive right to bear arms," U.S. Circuit <strong>Judge Kurt Engelhardt</strong> ruled.</p>
<p>The decision is significant because it aligns with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/23/08/33719970/federal-court-strikes-down-gun-prohibition-for-cannabis-users-as-unconstitutional">a 2022 Supreme Court</a> decision stating that firearm laws should reflect historical gun ownership traditions.</p>
<p>While the DOJ has not commented on this ruling, it raises questions about how the federal government will address gun ownership rights among the millions of legal cannabis users nationwide.</p>

NET Power Says Payments For Long-lead Materials Under Original Letter Of Limited Notice To Proceed Commenced In December 2023; Remainder Of Payments Under LNTP Are Expected To Continue To Be Made Through April 2026

<p>&#8220;We've seen this movie before,&#8221; <strong>Al Harrington</strong> says in an exclusive interview with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/cannabis">Benzinga Cannabis</a>, displaying the conviction of someone who's lived through the consequences of history. The former NBA player turned cannabis entrepreneur knows all too well how power structures have shaped — and dismantled — opportunities for communities of color. As we delve into the war on drugs and its enduring effects, Harrington's stance is clear. The criminalization of cannabis wasn't about safety; it was about control.</p>
<p>The people who once faced incarceration for cannabis possession are now fighting for a seat at the table in an industry generating billions. &#8220;At one point, the lottery was illegal, alcohol was illegal, but what's really unique is when you do your research, people of color started all those industries as well and have no ownership in it,&#8221; Harrington reflects. He's determined to ensure history doesn't repeat itself in the cannabis space.</p>
<p>Harrington's mission is rooted in advocacy. &#8220;We've seen this movie before,&#8221; he continues, &#8220;and that's what inspired me to be a crusader, trying to make sure we don't forget the people that really created this industry.&#8221; His focus is clear: inclusion for communities of color, particularly those harmed by the war on drugs, and the opportunity to build generational wealth.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Nixon's Ignorance And Corporate Interests</strong></h3>
<p>The war on drugs was largely shaped by former U.S. President <strong>Richard Nixon,</strong> whose administration spearheaded aggressive criminalization policies. Recently resurfaced <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/09/40869408/richard-nixon-secretly-admitted-marijuana-is-not-particularly-dangerous-new-tapes-reveal">comments revealed that Nixon didn't even consider marijuana particularly dangerous</a>. Harrington reacts to this revelation with a sense of incredulity. &#8220;It was obviously ignorance,&#8221; he says.</p>
<p>Harrington highlights the political forces that may have influenced Nixon&#8217;s policies. &#8220;A lot of decisions that are made by people like that are usually influenced by others,&#8221; he explains. Industries like paper and lumber, threatened by the versatility of hemp, likely played a role in cannabis becoming a Schedule I drug, ranked alongside heroin and cocaine. &#8220;At that time, people paid less on their taxes if they produced hemp,&#8221; Harrington said. &#8220;And then it becomes a Schedule I drug with heroin and cocaine — that doesn't even make sense.&#8221;</p>
<p>For Harrington, the criminalization of cannabis is a prime example of how the system has worked against communities of color. He's well aware of how prohibition has kept Black and Brown people out of the cannabis industry, an industry they were once heavily involved in—illegally. But legalization brings a chance to rectify those wrongs. &#8220;We don't forget the people that were mostly harmed and negatively affected by it, and making sure as all these billions of dollars are gonna be made, that we at least have the opportunity for this generational wealth just like our counterparts,&#8221; he told Benzinga.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Pressure From Big Pharma And Corporate Giants</strong></h3>
<p>As our conversation shifts to the role of interest groups and Big Pharma in the cannabis space, Harrington acknowledges the challenges ahead. With over a decade of experience in the industry, he's seen the changing dynamics as federal legalization becomes a looming reality. However, Harrington notes that he hasn't personally felt pressure from these groups. &#8220;I haven't felt any of the pressure from any of those groups,&#8221; suggesting that his platform may have insulated him from some corporate tactics.</p>
<p>Still, Harrington is not naive about the interests at play. He recognizes that pharmaceutical companies face challenges with cannabis, largely due to its natural growth cycle. &#8220;Cannabis takes four months to grow, no matter how you look at it,&#8221; he explains, contrasting it with the rapid production of pharmaceutical drugs. &#8220;These other drugs they make, it takes seconds.&#8221;</p>
<p>Despite these challenges, Harrington believes Big Pharma is closely watching the cannabis space, and when federal legalization arrives, it will move aggressively. &#8220;They're gonna buy in as soon as it's federally legal,&#8221; he predicts. &#8220;They're just waiting for that time, and then they're gonna come in like gangbusters, buying up everything.&#8221;</p>
<p>Harrington remains committed to fighting for the integrity of the plant. &#8220;We want to continue to fight to keep it as authentic and natural and organic as possible because this plant is supposed to grow in the sun, not in a lab.&#8221; For him, cannabis is more than a commodity, it&#8217;s a cultural and medicinal symbol that has deep roots in marginalized communities.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Protecting Cannabis For The Future</strong></h3>
<p>For Harrington, the fight against corporate interests is about more than just business—it's about protecting the integrity of the cannabis plant and ensuring that those who have been in the industry for the right reasons don&#8217;t get pushed out by large corporations. &#8220;I don't think that it can really capture all the benefits unless it's in that state,&#8221; he says, emphasizing the importance of growing cannabis under natural conditions.</p>
<p>Harrington's dedication to the plant, combined with his drive to create opportunities for communities of color, positions him as both an advocate and protector of what cannabis should be. As the industry continues to evolve, with federal legalization on the horizon, Harrington's focus remains clear: he's not just building a business; he's building a legacy. And for him, that legacy is about much more than money. It's about ensuring that the people who have been marginalized by the war on drugs have a stake in the industry's future—and that cannabis remains a force for healing, empowerment and equity.</p>

Why Is Volcon (VLCN) Stock Up 85% Today?

<p><a href="https://investorplace.com">InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice &amp; Trading Tips</a></p>
<p><strong>Blue Star Foods</strong>&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/bsfc-stock-quote/"><strong>BSFC</strong></a>) stock is rocketing higher on Thursday alongside heavy pre-market trading of the marine protein company&rsquo;s shares.</p>



<p>This has more than 10 million shares of BSFC stock changing hands as of this writing. That&rsquo;s already well above its daily average trading volume of about 1.1 million shares. It&rsquo;s also above <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/BSFC/key-statistics/">the company&rsquo;s float of 900,930 units</a>.</p>



<p>The heavy trading of BSFC stock comes without any clear news from the company. That includes a lack of Blue Star Foods earnings reports or filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). There&rsquo;s also no analyst coverage that would cause shares to rally today.</p>



<p>What is worth keeping in mind is BSFC&rsquo;s status as a penny stock. This comes from its prior closing price of $1.68 and its market capitalization of $1.769 million.</p>



<h2>What That Means for BSFC Stock</h2>



<p>Being a penny stock comes with the risk of additional volatility. This can be due to speculative traders buying the shares. It can also happen alongside pump and dumps from day and retail traders.</p>



<p>All of this is to say that an investment BSFC right now is a risky one. Traders may want to wait for the stock to calm down before considering taking a stake in it.</p>



<p>BSFC stock is up 74.4% as of Thursday morning.</p>



<p>Investors will want to stick around for more of the most recent stock market stories today!</p>

Why Is Blue Star Foods (BSFC) Stock Up 74% Today?

<p><a href="https://investorplace.com">InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice &amp; Trading Tips</a></p>
<p><strong>Inspire Veterinary</strong>&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/ivp-stock-quote/"><strong>IVP</strong></a>)&nbsp;stock is falling on Thursday following the <a href="https://www.nasdaq.com/press-release/inspire-veterinary-partners-announces-closing-6-million-public-offering-2024-07-10">closing of a public offering</a> for the veterinary hospital company&rsquo;s shares.</p>



<p>Inspire Veterinary completed a $6 million public offering for its shares yesterday. That saw the company sell 6 million shares of IVP stock at a price of $1 per share. It also offered pre-funded warrants for investors whose beneficial ownership would exceed 4.99%.</p>



<p>Inspire Veterinary also outlined its plans for the funds raised from this public offering. The company intends to use the money for &ldquo;working capital, general corporate purposes, payments to a third-party marketing agency for services related to marketing and advertising, strategic investments, and any additional future acquisition (if any).&rdquo;</p>



<h2>What This Means for IVP Stock</h2>



<p>A public offering increases the total number of outstanding shares that a company has. This also dilutes the stakes of current investors in the business. This is one of the reasons why IVP stock is falling on Thursday.</p>



<p>The price of the shares in the public offering was also well below the closing price of IVP stock. This is likely another reason why the company&rsquo;s shares are losing ground today.</p>



<p>IVP stock is down 25% as of Thursday morning. However, the company&rsquo;s shares also saw a 110.2% rally on Wednesday.</p>



<p>Investors will want to stick around for even more of the most recent stock market stories today!</p>



<p>We have all of the hottest stock market news worth reading about on Thursday! A few examples include what&rsquo;s happening with shares of <strong>Volcon&nbsp;</strong>(NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/vlcn-stock-quote/"><strong>VLCN</strong></a>) and <strong>Blue Star Foods</strong>&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/bsfc-stock-quote/"><strong>BSFC</strong></a>) stock, as well as the biggest pre-market stock movers this morning.

Why Is Inspire Veterinary (IVP) Stock Down 25% Today?

<p><a href="https://investorplace.com">InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice &amp; Trading Tips</a></p>
<p><strong>Quhuo&nbsp;</strong>(NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/qh-stock-quote/"><strong>QH</strong></a>) stock is sliding lower on Thursday after the gig economy platform company&rsquo;s shares underwent a recent rally.</p>



<p>That rally saw shares of QH stock close out Wednesday up 24.7%. That came alongside more than 2 million shares traded. To put that number in perspective, the company&rsquo;s daily average trading volume is below that at 183,000 shares. Its <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/QH/key-statistics/">float is 44.47 million units</a>.</p>



<p>Investors will note that QH stock rallied on Wednesday without any news from the company. That includes a lack of press releases or filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). There also wasn&rsquo;t any analyst coverage behind the surge in price and trading.</p>



<h2>QH Stock Movement on Thursday</h2>



<p>Considering yesterday&rsquo;s rally happened without a clear catalyst, it makes sense that shares of QH stock would give up some of their gains. This has Quhuo&nbsp;stock down 10.5% during pre-market trading on Thursday morning.</p>



<p>This dip in price comes without much in the way of trading activity today. As of this writing, only about 10,000 shares of QH stock have been traded.</p>



<p>It&rsquo;s also worth noting that QH shares aren&rsquo;t performing well in 2024. The company&rsquo;s stock is down 63.3% year-to-date as of yesterday&rsquo;s close. It&rsquo;s also down 72.7% over the last 12 months.</p>
