ACADIA Pharmaceuticals shares are trading lower after the company appointed Catherine Owen Adams as CEO.

Popular tech YouTuber Marques Brownlee, better known as &#8220;MKBHD,&#8221; launched a new app called &#8220;Panels,&#8221; a mobile wallpaper app on Tuesday. However, the reviews and comments have been mixed social media platforms.
What Happened: Brownlee announced about the app on the intro of his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40998105/marques-brownlee-reviews-apples-iphone-16-and-launches-new-app-this-is-the-most-unfinished-ive-ever">review video of the new iPhone 16</a> by Apple Inc. 
&#8220;You guys have been asking me where I get my wallpapers&#8230;So now we have put them all in one place. It&#8217;s called &#8216;Panels&#8217; and it&#8217;s finally live in the App store, both on iOS and Android; feels really good to be able to say that,&#8221; Brownlee said.
The app has tons of collections of wallpapers submitted by artists, including his team-members such as David Imel, Vinh Dang and Brandon Havard. These wallpapers range from nature photography to abstract 3D designs and more. 
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img decoding="async" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/24105112/Screenshot-2024-09-24-at-8.20.38%E2%80%AFPM-1024x720.png" alt="" class="wp-image-563468" style="width:712px;height:auto" /></figure>
The &#8220;Panels&#8221; app is available in freemium model for users across the world. However, there is a catch. 
Users need to watch at least two ads to download any wallpaper in standard quality or SD. To download the same in 4K, one needs to pay around $50 per year as subscription fee. 
&#8220;We have some pretty big plans for this thing. So it&#8217;s starting off as a wallpaper app. Now I don&#8217;t want to overpromise too much, but it&#8217;s going to be pretty consistently improving over time, which is part of the reason why we are offering a subscription to support it,&#8221; Brownlee said during the video.
Many are excited at the launch of an official app from the MKBHD team. 
&#8220;Launching on iOS and Android at the same time is ELITE,&#8221; wrote a user on X.
&#8220;This is singlehandedly the best YouTuber product ever,&#8221; another wrote.

However, others are divided about the app&#8217;s pricing, content quality and the strategy to promote the app, especially when Brownlee has often voiced his disapproval of picking up gadgets or software that promise for developments in the future.

Fellow tech YouTuber Linus Sebastian, known for his channel &#8220;Linus Tech Tips&#8221; commended the &#8220;intent&#8221; for the app, but suggested to reduce the subscription fee, remove all the tracking and seek help from people with expertise in native development.

Sampling results showed that this Chilean project could host high-grade copper and precious metal deposits, which would bode well for its economic viability. Find out why one newsletter writer believes this company is a Buy.
Preliminary results of Vortex Metals Inc.&#39;s (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/vmssf#OTC">VMSSF</a>) recent surface sampling program at the brownfield Illapel copper project in Chile, indicate the presence of copper, silver, and gold mineralization, as announced in a news release.
&quot;[The company] put out some fairly impressive soil sample results yesterday morning&quot; Michael Ballanger of GGM Advisory Inc. wrote in a Sept. 18 article. &quot;They were recovered from a brand new area of the Illapel property.&quot;
Vortex Metals Director Dr. John Larson and his team collected 13 surface samples from several key areas in the project concessions and sent them to ALS Global, a laboratory in Santiago, for multielement analysis. The team also collected bulk samples from which to produce standards for quality control in future drill core analysis.
Eight of the surface samples showed copper, gold, and silver mineralization. Some samples demonstrated elevated levels of associated elements, including iron, molybdenum, and cobalt. Some of the standout results showing high grades are:
<ul>
<li>0.62 grams per ton (0.62 g/t) gold and 1.33% copper in sample 1021</li>
<li>75.2 g/t silver and 4.31% copper in sample 1019</li>
<li>32.6 g/t silver, 0.21 g/t gold, and 5.85% copper in sample 1029</li>
</ul>
The findings overall confirm that the Illapel concessions may host at least two distinct styles of mineralization: mantos (predominantly copper-silver mineralization) and epithermal vein systems (copper-gold mineralization), the release pointed out. Illapel&#39;s potential to host high-grade copper and precious metals deposits suggests the economic viability of future projects, according to the company.
<h2>Diversified Exploration Portfolio</h2>
Vortex Metals is a copper-focused explorer-developer with a diversified portfolio of exploration projects in Chile and Mexico. The discovery-driven company believes there has never been a better time to invest in copper-gold exploration, it noted in its presentation.
The Illapel project comprises three mineral leases over about 6,000 hectares in Chile&#39;s Choapa province, not far from the community of Illapel. The area boasts sufficient infrastructure and is conducive to year-round drilling, noted Technical Analyst Clive Maund in a Sept. 9 report.* The fully permitted project is in &quot;a most promising copper-rich area&quot; and &quot;can be said to have &#39;blue sky&#39; potential.&quot;
Specifically, Illapel is near the fully operational Rio 27 copper-silver mine, from which favorable geology runs north and south. Rio-27 has been in production for more than 10 years and has processed 400,000 tons of high-grade copper (averaging 1.39%) and silver (about 7 g/t) ore, Ballanger wrote.
&quot;This property is a favorite of ex-BHP Billiton Ltd. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/bhp#NYSE">BHP</a>) Chilean country manager John Larson, whose 16 years with the multinational giant afforded him many &#39;looks&#39; at properties of merit in the Andean copper belt&quot; he added.
Vortex holds an option to acquire up to an 80% interest in Illapel including right of first refusal on the Rio 27 mine and processing facility, Maund explained.
Illapel is also near Sociedad Punta del Cobre&#39;s US$380 million (US$380M) El Espino copper-gold mine, where annual production is estimated to be 26,000,000 tons of copper and 13,000 ounces of gold.
Vortex also owns 100% of Riqueza Marina and Zaachila in an emerging copper belt in Oaxaca, Mexico, through its subsidiary, Empresa Minera Acagold SA de CV. Both of these, drill ready, copper-gold volcanogenic massive sulphide projects, hold potential for significant copper discovery.
The team advancing these assets has successfully developed and exited several exploration projects, including Underworld Resources, sold to Kinross Gold Corp. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/kgc#NYSE">KGC</a>) for CA$139M.
<h2>Copper Price To Remain Strong</h2>
The global copper market is expected increase in value by more than 50%, reaching US$259 billion (US$259B), up from US$170B in 2022, according to Statista.
Bank of America analysts predict the copper price will climb past US$10,000 per ton by 2025, Mining.com reported in a Sept. 17 article. (It is now about US$9,266 per ton.) The price will remain strong, they assert, given high demand, constrained supply, and rising investment in energy transition projects.
Marin Katusa of Katusa Research wrote in a recent article, &quot;Copper has become indispensable.&quot; From electric vehicles to renewable energy systems, its role in the global economy is critical. The ongoing electrification of the world depends heavily on copper, and this dependence is only set to grow.&quot;
This is good news for copper exploration companies, particularly those with a copper-gold porphyry deposit. These deposits, according to Investing News Network, are &quot;among the world&#39;s most valuable deposits&quot; because they contain the largest known exploitable concentrations of copper.
Maund pointed out that junior exploration companies with worthwhile assets likely will become takeover targets.
INN explained in another article, &quot;Due to their size and scope, copper porphyry deposits have the potential to become large-tonnage, low-cost operations based on mineralization.&quot;
According to Katusa, demand for &quot;the engine of the green economy&quot; is &quot;unstoppable&quot; and a supply crunch is inevitable, as indicated by three metrics. They are the rapid decline in days of forward consumption of copper, the long-term global market balance for copper moving toward a deficit and a slowing of global mine production of copper. From 2015 to 2023, only 18,000,000 (18 Mt) of copper were discovered versus 28 Mt in 2014 alone.
While demand for the red metal is increasing, supply remains constrained. Joe Austin, senior analyst at Chaikin Analytics, reported that the copper supply is expected to start declining after peaking at some point in the next two years, according to the International Energy Agency. The agency estimates a copper shortfall of about 7 Mt by 2035, about a third of the output forecasted for that year.
&quot;By 2040, the available supply of copper will be roughly two-thirds of what we produce today. But by then, the demand for copper will have soared far higher than where it is today&quot; Austin wrote.
This anticipated tightening of the copper market is likely to cause a price surge, Katusa purported.
<h2>The Catalyst: Drill Results</h2>
Phase 1 drilling, comprising 3,000 meters, at Illapel is underway to systematically evaluate and advance several high-priority targets within the project area, noted a previous news release.
&quot;It probably won&#39;t be long until results from it start coming in, which could clearly act as a catalyst for the stock&quot; Maund wrote.
<h2>&quot;Stock in Buying Territory&quot;</h2>
Both Ballanger and Maund are bullish on Vortex Metals. In his recent report, Ballanger highlighted that the company&#39;s stock is &quot;dirt cheap&quot; and thus, now was a good time to buy.
&quot;I think it will be a solid performer by the end of the year&quot; he added.
Similarly, Maund wrote recently that the stock is in buying territory, based on its charts. In addition, Vortex is well poised to benefit from the current, major bull markets in copper and gold and the momentum in each that is expected soon.
&quot;This being so, [Vortex&#39;s] stock is regarded as most attractive here following its dip back to a foundation of strong support that is expected to propel an advance to much higher levels&quot; wrote Maund.
<h2>Ownership and Share Structure</h2>
According to Reuters, four strategic entities own 7.84%, or 6.28 million (6.28M) shares, of Vortex. They are Director Michael Williams with 3.6% or 2.88M shares, Cofounder, Chief Executive Officer, and Director Vikas Ranjan with 2.5% or 2M shares, Roger Zelong with 1.07% or 0.86M shares and Director John Larson with 0.67% or 0.54M shares.
One institution, AIPM Azur International Portfolio Management AG, holds 0.94% or 0.75M shares.
Retail investors own the remaining 91.22% of Vortex.
The company has 80.05M outstanding shares and 77.37M free float traded shares.
Its market cap is CA$5.88M, and its 52-week trading range is CA$0.07&ndash;CA$0.15 per share.

<h3>About Vale</h3>
Vale is a large global miner and the world's largest producer of iron ore and pellets. In recent years the company has sold noncore assets such as its fertilizer, coal, and steel operations to concentrate on iron ore, nickel, and copper. Earnings are dominated by the bulk materials division, primarily iron ore and iron ore pellets. The base metals division is much smaller, consisting of nickel mines and smelters along with copper mines producing copper in concentrate. In 2024, Vale sold a minority 10% stake in energy transition metals, its base metals business, likely the first step in separating base metals and iron ore.

<h3>About FedEx</h3>
FedEx pioneered overnight delivery in 1973 and remains the world's largest express package provider. In its fiscal 2024, which ended in May, FedEx derived 47% of revenue from its express division, 37% from ground, and 10% from freight, its asset-based less-than-truckload shipping segment. The remainder came from other services, including FedEx Office, which provides document production/shipping, and FedEx Logistics, which provides global forwarding. FedEx acquired Dutch parcel delivery firm TNT Express in 2016, boosting its presence across Europe. TNT was previously the fourth-largest global parcel delivery provider.

Trip.com Group Ltd (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TCOM#NASDAQ">TCOM</a>) shares are trading higher by 5.4% to $51.74 during Tuesday&#8217;s session after the China Central Bank announced a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/09/41003814/chinese-stocks-jump-as-central-bank-unveils-major-stimulus-to-spur-economy-a-step-in-the-right-direc">new stimulus package</a>.
What Happened: The PBoC announced a 50-basis-point cut to the reserve requirement ratio, bringing it down to 9.5% for commercial banks, alongside a reduction in the seven-day and 14-day repo rates. These measures will pump approximately 1 trillion yuan ($140 billion) into the banking system, increasing lending capacity and making borrowing more affordable for businesses and consumers alike.
For Trip.com, these developments come as a timely boost. The company, which provides services ranging from hotel reservations and transportation ticketing to packaged tours and corporate travel management, is highly sensitive to macroeconomic trends in China. 
The aggressive monetary easing is expected to alleviate pressure on China&#8217;s economy, which has been grappling with sluggish consumer demand, a struggling property sector, and global economic headwinds. With more liquidity in the market and reduced borrowing costs, both individual and corporate spending on travel are likely to see a recovery.

What Else: Additionally, the reduction in mortgage rates and other measures to support the housing market could lead to increased discretionary income for Chinese consumers. Historically, an upturn in disposable income has correlated with higher spending on leisure activities, including travel, benefitting companies like Trip.com. 
The firm stands to gain from a revitalized domestic travel market, particularly as lockdowns and strict travel restrictions have subsided.
Another factor bolstering investor confidence in Trip.com is its exposure to the international travel market. As global tourism resumes following the pandemic, Chinese consumers are expected to resume outbound travel in significant numbers, a key revenue driver for Trip.com. 
The PBoC's moves signal broader economic stability, which could ease concerns about a prolonged downturn affecting consumer confidence and travel spending.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy TCOM 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 Trip.com Group&#8217;s case, it is in the Consumer Discretionary 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>, TCOM has a 52-week high of $58.00 and a 52-week low of $31.55.

Why Trip.com Group (TCOM) Stock Is Seeing Blue Skies

In a recent interview with The Independent, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/07/39600675/bill-gates-was-the-worlds-richest-man-for-a-record-18-years-his-secret-to-success-saving-like-a-">Bill Gates</a> reflected on his wealth and a tax system that he believes could help reshape wealth inequality in America – or at least help fund some depleting programs like Social Security.&nbsp;
Gates even acknowledged that his wealth would be far less under his ideal tax system. &#8220;If I designed the tax system, I would be tens of billions of dollars poorer,&#8221; he said. He has long been an advocate of higher taxes on wealthier individuals.&nbsp;

<li>How do billionaires pay less in income tax than you?<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/tax-deferring-adv"> Tax deferring is their number one strategy</a>.</li>
</ul>
Gates' stance closely aligns with proposals from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40784837/bernie-sanders-says-if-youre-poor-in-america-youll-live-10-15-years-less-anybody-else-see-a-problem">Bernie Sanders</a>, who advocates for a wealth tax targeting the top 0.1% of U.S. households. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/09/40872333/peter-schiff-clashes-with-bernie-sanders-over-taxing-rich-calls-upon-democrats-to-c">Sanders' plan</a> would tax those with net worths exceeding $32 million and he estimates it would raise $4.35 trillion over the next decade, cutting billionaires' wealth in half over 15 years.&nbsp;
Gates mentioned that Sanders' plans are more progressive than he would design the tax system, but he still supports change that aligns closely with Sanders' proposals. He supports the general goal of expanding the safety net by increasing taxes on the ultrarich and believes that with tech innovations – like AI – it will be easier and more feasible to tackle tax plans like this.&nbsp;

According to Gates, reversing this trend requires more than just charitable donations from billionaires. It calls for systemic change, starting with how the government taxes the wealthiest citizens. Although Gates has contributed billions through the Bill &amp; Melinda Gates Foundation, he insists that philanthropy alone cannot address the country&#8217;s inequality scale. "The tax system could be more progressive without damaging significantly the incentive to do fantastic things," he said.

As Gates sees it, addressing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/06/39166498/warren-buffett-says-its-a-fact-the-poor-are-most-definitely-not-poor-because-the-rich-are-rich-b">wealth inequality</a> is not just about moral responsibility – it's about ensuring a stable and thriving society. He cautions younger generations to pay attention to growing misinformation and declining trust in government, noting that reversing these trends will be crucial to building a more equitable future.
Ultimately, Gates' willingness to support a tax system that would make him &#8220;tens of billions poorer&#8221; demonstrates his commitment to a vision of greater fairness. For those nearing or in retirement, understanding how wealth inequality and tax policies affect the broader economy is critical. Consulting a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-online-financial-advisors">financial advisor</a> can help individuals navigate these changes and secure their financial future.
