<p><strong>Marinus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. </strong>(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRNS#NASDAQ">MRNS</a>) shares are trading higher on Monday after the company entered into a merger agreement to be acquired by <strong>Immedica Pharma AB, </strong><a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/42719722" rel="noreferrer noopener">implying an enterprise value of approximately $151 million.</a></p>
<p>As per the deal, Immedica will launch a tender offer through a wholly owned subsidiary to acquire all outstanding shares of Marinus common stock at $0.55 per share in cash.</p>
<p>This represents a 48% premium over Marinus&#8217; December 27 closing price and a 97% premium over the 30-day volume-weighted average price of $0.28.</p>
<p>The transaction represents the consummation of Marinus&#8217; review of strategic alternatives, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/41514570" rel="noreferrer noopener">which it announced in October.</a></p>
<p>Marinus&#8217; Board of Directors has unanimously approved the deal and recommended that stockholders tender their shares.</p>
<p>Following the successful tender, Immedica will acquire any remaining shares through a second-step merger at the same per-share price. The deal is anticipated to close in the first quarter of 2025.</p>
<p>The acquisition grants Immedica global rights to ZTALMY, a commercial-stage rare neurology medicine approved by the FDA, European Commission, UK MHRA, and China&#8217;s NMPA, with potential for additional approvals worldwide.</p>
<p>The deal is expected to drive Immedica&#8217;s revenue growth by adding a U.S.-based commercial asset with global expansion potential.</p>
<p>Scott Braunstein, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Marinus, stated, &#8220;With a shared commitment to improving the lives of rare disease patients, this acquisition is expected to enable ZTALMY to make an even greater impact on patients, while providing meaningful value for Marinus&#8217; stockholders.&#8221;</p>

Wynn Resorts Unusual Options Activity For December 30

<p>Many people struggle with deciding when to start collecting Social Security. It's not just a financial decision; it's a gamble on your health, longevity and even the stock market if you plan to invest. Should you wait to maximize your benefits or claim early and make those dollars work for you? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/12/42691699/i-dont-borrow-money-says-dave-ramsey-even-if-the-offer-is-1-billion-at-0-interest-for-the-next-decade">Dave Ramsey</a> has some loud – and controversial – opinions on the subject.</p>
<p>Ramsey has always been vocal about his disdain for Social Security. In 2019, he referred to it as a "stupid thing" and a "mathematical disaster," claiming the system had been "robbing" him and others for decades. He doesn't tell people to avoid Social Security entirely despite his criticisms. In fact, he recommends taking benefits at age 62 – but only if you're planning to invest every penny of it.</p>
<p><strong>Don't Miss:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/62-years-old-with-1-mil-saved">I&#8217;m 62 Years Old And Have $1.2 Million Saved. Is This Enough to Retire Stress-Free?</a></strong></li>
<li><strong>Can you guess how many Americans successfully retire with $1,000,000 saved?<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/1milsaved"><strong> The percentage may shock you</strong></a>.</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>During another episode of his show that same year, a caller asked Ramsey when the best time to take Social Security would be. Ramsey explained that waiting until 66 or 70 results in higher monthly payments, but there's often a better financial outcome when you claim early and put those payments to work in investments. "The later you start, every year you get more," he said. "But if you run some math out, you can actually run the calculations on their site – it's fairly easy to do." He emphasized that most scenarios favor starting benefits early if you're disciplined about investing the money.</p>
<p>Ramsey broke it down further, saying, "The difference [between taking benefits at 62 versus 66 or 67] could be made up almost every time by taking every dollar from 62 to 66 you get and putting it in a good investment. If the investment returns give you greater than the difference for the rest of your life – almost every time – it makes sense to take it early."</p>
<p><strong>See Also: Warren Buffett once said, "If you don't find a way to make money while you sleep, you will work until you die."<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/warren-buffet-make-money-when-you-sleep"><strong> </strong><strong>Here&#8217;s how you can earn passive income with just $100.</strong></a></strong></p>
<p>For example, according to Ramsey, investing $700 a month from 62 to 77 – about 15 years – could result in over $318,000. He argues that this <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/08/40374894/financial-guru-dave-ramsey-advises-take-social-security-at-62-but-this-essential-step-is-non-neg">strategy could outperform</a> waiting for larger payments at full retirement age.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The strategy is bold, but it's not without risks. Critics have pointed out that Ramsey's plan isn't realistic for most retirees. Market returns, while historically positive, aren't guaranteed. Average mutual fund returns hover around 4.67% over two decades, far less than Ramsey's more optimistic projections. Plus, many retirees simply can't afford to invest their Social Security – they need it to pay for essentials like housing, food and health care.</p>
<p>Most financial experts recommend delaying Social Security benefits, especially if you expect to live a long life. Waiting until full retirement age – <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/05/39064579/suze-orman-says-70-is-the-new-retirement-age-but-is-she-right">or even age 70 – </a>means higher monthly payments for the rest of your life, which can offer more stability than taking an early, reduced amount.</p>
<p><strong>Trending: Inspired by Uber and Airbnb &#8211; Deloitte's fastest-growing software company is transforming 7 billion smartphones into income-generating assets &#8211; <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mode-mobile-2"><strong>with $1,000 you can invest at just $0.26/share!</strong></a></strong></p>
<p>Ramsey's advice is undoubtedly polarizing, but it's not designed for everyone. It's aimed at people with additional income sources, a high tolerance for risk and the discipline to invest consistently. If that's not you, this strategy could leave you worse off.</p>
<p>At the end of the day, deciding when to claim Social Security is a deeply personal choice. It's about <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">weighing your financial situation, health and goals</a>. And whether you agree with Ramsey or not, one thing is certain: when it comes to Social Security, you're always taking a gamble. As Ramsey joked to the caller, the "trick to knowing when to take social security is knowing when you're gonna die."&nbsp;</p>

Dave Ramsey Thinks Social Security Is a 'Mathematical Disaster' – But Still Says It Makes More Sense To Take It At 62 'Almost Every Time'

<p>The Dow Jones Industrial Average hit an all-time high of over 45,000 points in December, one of several stock market indexes to hit records after <strong>Donald Trump</strong> won the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/41857971/trumps-win-sends-wall-street-to-record-highs-small-caps-tesla-outperform-fed-cuts-interest-rates-this-week-in-the-market">2024 presidential election.</a></p>
<p>Here's a look at the top-performing and worst-performing Dow Jones Industrial Average components in 2024 and how the index's leaders could look much different in 2025.</p>
<p><strong>2024 Performance</strong>: In 2024, 18 of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/dow-jones-industrial-average">Dow Jones component stocks </a>were up, with 12 stocks declining for the full year. This includes the original Dow Jones members at the start of 2024 and does not factor in the index changes made throughout the year.</p>
<p>Here's a look at the top five gainers for the full year, based on Dec. 27 closing prices:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>American Express</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AXP#NYSE">AXP</a>): +60.7%</li>
<li><strong>Goldman Sachs</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>): +49.4%</li>
<li><strong>JPMorgan Chase</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>): +41.8%</li>
<li><strong>International Business Machines</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBM#NYSE">IBM</a>): +36.2%</li>
<li><strong>Apple Inc</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>): +32.8%</li>
</ol>
<p>Here are the top five losers for the full year, based on Dec. 27 closing prices:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Walgreens Boots Alliance</strong> (NASDSSQ:WBA): -63.2%</li>
<li><strong>Intel Corporation</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>): -59.6%</li>
<li><strong>Walmart </strong>(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>): -41.9%</li>
<li><strong>Boeing Inc </strong>(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>): -30.7%</li>
<li><strong>Nike Inc </strong>(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NKE#NYSE">NKE</a>): -29.6%</li>
</ol>
<p>For comparison, 19 of the Dow Jones components stocks <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/01/36455419/5-biggest-winners-5-biggest-losers-from-dow-jones-industrial-average-in-2023">were up in 2023</a>, with 11 down for the full year.</p>
<p>A quick look at the losers list shows two stocks that are no longer part of the Dow Jones Industrial Average, thanks to several changes that took place in 2024 to the 30 core components.</p>
<p>Apple is the only stock to appear on the top gainers list for both 2023 and 2024, ranking fourth in 2023 and fifth in 2024.</p>
<p>Intel was the second-biggest gainer in 2023 before falling in 2024 and turning in the second-worst performance of the 30 stocks. Boeing also flipped from being a top performer, ranking fifth in 2023 to turning in a poor performance in 2024.</p>
<p>Walgreens was the worst-performing Dow Jones stock for the second straight year, but that will be a thing of the past heading into 2025.</p>

<p><br /><strong>What's Next in 2025:</strong> After several years of no changes to the 30 components of the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the well-known market index made multiple changes in 2024.</p>
<p>The index replaced underperforming Walgreens with <strong>Amazon.com Inc</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) in February. The index also replaced Intel and <strong>Dow Inc </strong>(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DOW#NYSE">DOW</a>) with<strong> NVIDIA Corporation</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and<strong> Sherwin-Williams</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHW#NYSE">SHW</a>) respectively.</p>
<p>With the changes, the Dow Jones Industrial Average will now have four of the seven Magnificent 7 stocks heading into 2025 with Amazon, Nvidia, <strong>Microsoft Corporation</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) and Apple all included in the Dow.</p>
<p>The stocks that left the Dow Jones in 2024 were among the biggest losers in 2024 for the index, with Walgreens ranking worst for yearly performance, Intel ranking second worst and Dow ranking sixth worst at -27.0%.</p>
<p>The underperformance of several Dow Jones components kept the index down compared to other market barometers. The <strong>SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIA#NYSE">DIA</a>), which tracks the Dow Jones Industrial Average, is up 14.0% year-to-date in 2024.</p>
<p>For comparison, the<strong> SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>), which tracks the S&amp;P 500 Index, is up 23.8% year-to-date.</p>
<p>The <strong>Roundhill Magnificent Seven ETF </strong>(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MAGS#NASDAQ">MAGS</a>), which tracks the Magnificent 7 stocks, is up 68.5% year-to-date.</p>
<p>Having Amazon, Nvidia and Sherwin Williams as components to start 2024 would have made the index's returns look significantly different. While the three stocks that left the index were each down over 25% year-to-date in 2024, here are the year-to-date returns of the replacement stocks in 2024:</p>
<ul>
<li>Amazon: +46.6%</li>
<li>Nvidia: +179.8%</li>
<li>Sherwin-Williams: +11.8%</li>
</ul>
<p>The Dow Jones Industrial Average will look significantly different in 2025 than in previous years, and more changes could be ahead for stocks that have underperformed in the index.</p>

<p>Billionaire investor and former hedge fund manager <strong>Stanley Druckenmiller</strong>, a confidant of <strong>George Soros</strong>, is well known for his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42659876/stanley-druckenmiller-pours-funds-into-1-trillion-company-already-trading-up-100">top-down investment style</a> and for paying close attention to macroeconomic factors. </p>
<p>One of his recent wagers seemingly predicted the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/2024-election">2024 U.S. presidential election</a> ahead of time.</p>
<p><span style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><strong>What Happened</strong>: According to a 13f filing on <span style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Sept. 30</span>, Druckenmiller&#8217;s <strong>Duquesne Family Holdings</strong> purchased 2,053,323 shares of the <strong>SPDR S&amp;P Regional Banking ETF</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KRE#NYSE">KRE</a>) during the quarter. This now carries a market value of around $123 million. The investment represented 3.9% of Duquesne&#8217;s total </span>portfolio.</p>
<p>The ETF tracks regional bank stocks across the U.S. Unlike large banks, regionals have smaller asset bases, are subject to less regulation and operate in only one region or state.</p>
<p>Regional banks could be poised for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42249615/6-regional-bank-stocks-to-buy-before-trump-names-new-sec-leadership">strong legislative tailwinds</a> following President-elect <strong>Donald Trump</strong>&#8216;s inauguration in January. Trump&#8217;s first term brought deregulation of regional banks and several rollbacks of Obama-era banking policy following the 2008 banking crisis. On the flip side, deregulation poses a risk to the financial sector if lax standards lead to crises.</p>
<p>The ETF is trading 6% higher than it did on Sept. 30. On the Wednesday following election day, the ETF traded up over 13% in a single trading period, reflecting market optimism over the industry&#8217;s prospects under a second Trump administration.</p>
<p><strong>Why It Matters</strong>: Druckenmiller&#8217;s investment before the election could be seen as a prescient bet that Trump would win. In October, Druckenmiller said that the market <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41448443/market-very-convinced-of-a-trump-win-says-stanley-druckenmiller-why-billionaire-investor-thinks-blue">was &#8220;very convinced&#8221;</a> of a Trump victory. </p>
<p>It is unclear whether the Bowdoin College and University of Michigan alumnus bought more shares of the ETF between the third-quarter reporting date and the election.</p>
<p>Price-to-book metrics are generally considered more relevant to analyzing bank market valuations. On Monday, the Regional Bank ETF traded 1.1 times its book value. </p>
<p>Wall Street&#8217;s valuation of regionals has largely rebounded since 2023&#8217;s banking crisis, which saw Silicon Valley Bank and First Republic Bank go under. The ETF traded 0.7 times above the book value in April of 2023. During Trump&#8217;s first term, the ETF traded as high as 1.6 times above book value, reflecting market confidence.</p>

Benzinga Market: Summary S&P Falls In Final Days Of 2024, Natural Gas Rises On Weather Forecasts

<p><strong>MicroCloud Hologram Inc. </strong>(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HOLO#NASDAQ">HOLO</a>) shares rocketed on Monday after the company developed an advanced technological solution. The solution uses a fast adiabatic driving protocol to attain coherent control of two heavy hole spin qubits in a double quantum dot system.</p>
<p>HOLO&#8217;s protocol surpasses the limitations of traditional methods like linear ramps, π-pulses, and Landau-Zener channels, delivering superior fidelity in quantum information processing.</p>
<p>The fast adiabatic driving protocol leverages the quantum adiabatic theorem for precise energy control in a double quantum dot system.</p>
<p>By meticulously designing control paths based on adiabatic evolution rules, it guides heavy hole spin qubits along predefined trajectories, ensuring high-fidelity quantum state transitions while avoiding distortions from abrupt energy changes or external disturbances.</p>
<p>Similar to interstellar navigation, this method achieves superior quantum state fidelity by precisely managing energy variations within the system.</p>
<p>MicroCloud&#8217;s fast quasi-adiabatic driving via spin-orbit coupling achieves two key breakthroughs: suppressing charge noise to stabilize qubit operations and ensuring precise qubit initialization for accurate quantum computations. These advancements create a low-noise, reliable foundation for high-complexity tasks.</p>
<p>MicroCloud has developed and implemented both single-qubit and two-qubit gate operations, specifically NOT, CNOT, and SWAP-like gates. In the heavy-hole spin system architecture within the double quantum dot, these quantum gate operations achieve quantum state fidelities as high as 99%.</p>
<p><strong>Price Action</strong>: HOLO shares are up 68.3% at $4.04 at the last check Monday.</p>
