After falling to the lowest level since December 2021, on Tuesday, oil recorded its first weekly gain in a month, buoyed by Hurricane Francine, which disrupted production in the Gulf of Mexico. Brent crude rose above $72 per barrel, pushing its weekly climb to about 2%, while West Texas Intermediate traded below $70 per barrel.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Is ACAD A Good Stock To Buy?</h2>
An investor can make a few decisions when deciding whether a stock is a good buy. In addition to valuation metrics and price action which you can find on Benzinga's quote pages &#8211; like <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ACAD">ACADIA Pharmaceuticals</a>&#8216;s page for example &#8211; there are factors like whether or not a company pays a dividend or buys a large portion of its stock each quarter.
These are known as capital allocation programs. ACADIA Pharmaceuticals does not pay a dividend, but obviously has a few ways it can return value to shareholders. Feel free to search Benzinga's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/dividends">dividend calendar</a> for the next company that is due to pay a dividend and determine what kind of yield you can earn for holding a share of the company.
For example, if you're looking to earn an annualized return of 11.7%, you'll need to buy a share of New York Mortgage Trust by the Sep. 30, 2024. Once done, you can expect to receive a nominal payout of $0.2 on Oct. 28, 2024.
Buyback programs are obviously different and highly variable. A company can approve a buyback program and purchase shares as it sees fit over the course of time in which the buyback was authorized. Looking through the latest news on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ACAD">ACADIA Pharmaceuticals</a> will often yield whether or not the company has approved a buyback program recently. Buyback programs usually serve as a support for share prices, serving as a backstop for demand.
According to data from&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, ACAD has a 52-week high of $32.59 and a 52-week low of $14.55.

The Contests:&nbsp;Powered by&nbsp;TradeZero, the&nbsp;<a href="https://benzingapartners.go2cloud.org/aff_c?offer_id=467&amp;aff_id=1" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">World Championship of Trading</a>&nbsp;is the ultimate trading competition for investors to prove their keen eye during a three-month time period.

"This is my favorite one (contest) so far," Kabir said. "TradeZero, first of all, great platform."
Kabir said he likes being able to sign in on TradeZero and "see the leaderboard every day."
Admitting he's a risky trader, Kabir said he likes that the paper trading contest allows him to buy larger quantities than he might in real life and believes others in the contest are doing the same thing.
Kabir likes buying options and making scalp trades, getting in and out of his trades fast.
"I don't want to hope for more."
Kabir utilizes the weekend to research and mark levels on stocks on his watchlist. The trader likes making at-the-money contracts and says the contest could also see him trading in-the-money contracts.
"Entry is everything."
Kabir credits TradeZero with being "very speedy" and said his options trades go through very fast.
"I really like trading with a risk-reward mentality."
Kabir said he joined the contest a day late. He is in third place and is in line to win $500 in cash and one year of Benzinga Pro essential.

Republican Presidential Nominee Donald Trump Says We Will Set Up Special Zones Of Federal Land With Ultra Low Taxes And Regulations For American Producers

Long-running news show "60 Minutes" could be getting exclusive interviews with former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris. Here's how the news show and its parent company could end up media winners with less than 50 days until the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/2024-election">2024 presidential election.</a>
What Happened: Presidential debates have been a key item for the 2024 election with the first debate between Trump and President Joe Biden serving as the potential tipping point for Biden to exit the race. A second debate, between Trump and Harris, marked a potential shift in the election with the current vice president gaining in election polls <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/40993290/trump-vs-harris-2024-election-betting-odds-show-vice-president-maintains-lead-as-race-near">and betting odds </a>since the Sept. 10 event.
While Harris wants to debate Trump again after being declared the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/09/40824831/harris-vs-trump-swing-state-voters-pick-presidential-debate-winner-share-thoughts-on-immigration">winner by most polls,</a> Trump is not ready to join the CNN debate on Oct. 23.
Trump and Harris<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40971448/kamala-harris-ready-to-face-off-in-second-debate-but-donald-trump-says-its-too-late"> might not participate</a> in another debate together, but could be featured in back-to-back interviews on "60 Minutes."
According to a report from <a href="https://www.axios.com/2024/09/22/harris-trump-60-minutes-interview">Axios</a>, Trump and Harris are both considering taking part in "60 Minutes" interviews that the long-running newsmagazine television show would air back-to-back on Oct. 7.
The report said Harris' campaign is in active talks with the news program and Trump's sources indicated an interview is to be determined.
"I'm confident this is going to work," "60 Minutes" Executive Producer Bill Owens <a href="https://apnews.com/article/trump-harris-60-minutes-interview-810ba6227a7ee12c6e88e70d9985b997">told </a>the Associated Press. "For either campaign, it wouldn't be a great look if they turned down an opportunity to be on '60 Minutes.'"
While the interviews wouldn't feature the same elements of a debate with rebuttals to opponents, they could feature the same questions and topics and allow viewers a chance to get more ideas on their candidate ahead of the 2024 election. The interviews would likely feature different interviewers with the report indicating Scott Pelley was assigned to Trump and Bill Whitaker was assigned to Harris.
Whitaker interviewed Harris last year, with Harris featured in a past interview with the news program<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/10/35505524/kamala-harris-says-democracy-on-the-line-for-2024-election-confident-in-biden-for-presidency-we-will"> in October 2023. </a>Trump was interviewed by the news program in 2020, but became upset by interviewer Lesley Stahl and cut the interview short.
The Oct. 7 date would be less than one month before election day.

</ul>
Why It's Important: If there are no more television debates between Trump and Harris and "60 Minutes" lands the two interviews, Paramount could end up a big winner in the final stretch of the 2024 election.
The media company will host the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/09/40844701/trump-harris-might-not-debate-again-but-their-running-mates-will-what-voters-should-know-about-w">vice presidential debate</a> between Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Sen. J.D. Vance (R &#8211; Ohio) on Oct. 1 and would air the interviews less than a week later.
September's debate between Trump and Harris was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/09/40840076/trump-vs-harris-presidential-debate-viewership-tops-trump-biden-total-but-falls-short-of-re">watched by 67.1 million people, </a>topping the 51.3 million from June's Trump and Biden debate. ABC hosted the debate and CBS News saw 6.2 million viewers of its simulcast broadcast, trailing ABC, NBC, Fox News and MSNBC viewership.
A 2020 episode of "60 Minutes" that featured the infamous Trump interview mentioned above and an interview with Biden was watched by 17.4 million people, setting the news program's biggest viewership in over two years.
Interviews for Trump and Harris would likely draw strong ratings for "60 Minutes" and come on a day that is already strong thanks to National Football League viewership.
CBS airs one to two NFL games each Sunday, alternating with Fox Corp. which gets the double header of two games.
For Oct. 7, CBS would air one game at 1 p.m. ET with the following games airing across the country during that time slot nationally. CBS would also air a second game at 4 p.m. ET in select markets. "60 Minutes" would likely air at 7:30 p.m. ET or at the conclusion of the NFL games for the week.
NFL games are averaging <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/09/40948190/nfl-week-3-betting-odds-national-tv-games-can-disney-win-with-two-monday-night-football-gam">19.7 million viewers </a>through the first two weeks, up 12% year-over-year. CBS had the second most watched contest through the first two weeks with the Week 2 Cincinnati Bengals, Kansas City Chiefs game averaging 27.9 million viewers.
CBS would likely dominate the Sunday ratings thanks to NFL and the 2024 election special and could have opportunities to package advertising plans for both events or potentially for the vice presidential debate and the "60 Minutes" special.
PARA Price Action: Paramount stock trades at $10.48 versus a 52-week trading range of $9.54 to $17.50. Paramount stock is down 27% year-to-date in 2024.

US Files Antitrust Lawsuit Against Visa, Court Records Show

Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) shares are trading higher Tuesday as investors continue to speculate on a possible<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/09/40996401/intel-which-cratered-around-77-from-its-52-week-peak-finds-a-new-knight-in-shining-armor-as-qual"> takeover by Qualcomm, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QCOM#NASDAQ">QCOM</a>).&nbsp;</a>
The Details:
Reports indicate that Qualcomm, led by CEO Cristiano Amon, is considering acquiring Intel as part of its diversification efforts. The deal would merge two of the world&#8217;s major chipmakers, impacting sectors including smartphones, PCs and servers. 
However, Stacy Rasgon, a prominent chip analyst from Bernstein, expressed skepticism about the potential deal.&nbsp;
"Is Intel desperate enough to seriously consider something like this? We're not so sure," Rasgon wrote.

&#8220;Demand for AI is leading to a massive transformation in the data center, and the industry is asking for choice in hardware, software and developer tools,&#8221; said Justin Hotard, Intel executive vice president and general manager of the Data Center and Artificial Intelligence Group.&nbsp;
&#8220;With our launch of Xeon 6 with P-cores and Gaudi 3 AI accelerators, Intel is enabling an open ecosystem that allows our customers to implement all of their workloads with greater performance, efficiency and security,&#8221; Hotard added.&nbsp;
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Should I Sell My INTC Stock?</h3>
When deciding to hold on to or sell a stock, investors should consider their time horizon, unrealized gains and total return.
Shares of Intel have decreased by 32.61% in the past year. An investor who bought shares of Intel at the beginning of the year would take a loss of $25.0 per share if they sold it today. The stock has risen 13.25% over the past month, meaning an investor who bought shares on Aug. 1 would see a capital gain of $1.32.
Intel shares have an all-time high of $56, representing 145.65% upside from current levels.
Investors may also consider market dynamics. The Relative Strength Index can be used to indicate whether a stock is overbought or oversold. Intel stock currently has an RSI of 83.7, indicating overbought conditions.

What's Going On With Intel Stock?

Former Coinbase CTO Balaji Srinivasan has drawn a provocative parallel between Bitcoin&#8216;s (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) role in preserving wealth and the pursuit of longevity in healthcare, both framed as<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/08/40618360/balaji-srinivasan-gives-a-nod-to-pro-bitcoin-el-salvador-president-nayib-bukeles-theory-on"> resistance against state control.</a>
What Happened: In an <a href="https://x.com/BitcoinMagazine/status/1838204872820142479">interview</a>, Srinivasan asserted, &#8220;Bitcoin is about stopping the state from slowly draining your wealth, and Don&#8217;t Die is about stopping the state from slowly draining your health.&#8221;
He argues that these concepts are &#8220;very parallel&#8221; in their opposition to gradual, state-sanctioned deterioration.
Srinivasan criticized the current financial system&#8217;s acceptance of inflation, stating, &#8220;In the legacy system, it assumes a basic rate of 2% inflation. Like, yeah, hyperinflation is bad, but actually also deflation is bad. So a little bit of inflation, a little bit of loss of wealth every year is good.&#8221;

Drawing a controversial comparison to healthcare, he added, &#8220;This current system, the medical system says, oh yeah, sudden death is bad. But trying to live forever, that&#8217;s weird. So you should just die a little bit every year.&#8221;
Srinivasan concluded with a stark accusation: &#8220;It&#8217;s really the same logic as the Fed. The Fed is, and they want you dead, just a little bit every year. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/03/37438179/balaji-srinivasan-calls-bitcoin-a-political-revolution-says-btc-can-stop-russias-wa">And so we resist that</a>.

Wedbush Maintains Neutral on KeyCorp, Raises Price Target to $18

Shiba Inu (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/shib/usd">SHIB</a>) is trading 8% higher in the past seven days bolstered by optimism, burn rates <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/40973267/dogecoin-killer-shiba-inus-burn-rate-shoots-up-772-shytoshi-kusama-on-picking-up-the-pace-">and whale transactions</a>.
What Happened: Shiba Inu's burn rate has surged by 7,168% with 6.9 million SHIB coins burned in one transaction and 1 million SHIB in another, according to Shibburn data. Both transactions happened around 23 hours ago.
Lucie, the marketing lead of Shiba Inu, in her latest X post, hinted at a new groundbreaking project: "Something big is coming!" She <a href="https://x.com/LucieSHIB/status/1838233752008368213">added</a> that there is a lot of speculation about what it could be — ShibMarketplace, Shibahub or Treat, or a whole new world.
In another post today, Lucie suggested that crypto coins should stop chasing exchanges, and that &#8220;DeFi Is The Way.&#8221; Instead, she <a href="https://x.com/LucieSHIB/status/1838477156533293560">believes</a> in being responsible for the holders and learning how to use a DeFi wallet, getting familiar with the blockchain basics and protecting your precious tokens with a hard wallet.

Why It Matters: With an 8% rise over the past week, Arkham Intelligence data <a href="https://platform.arkhamintelligence.com/explorer/entity/robinhood">shows</a> the holdings in Robinhood's wallet increasing to 47.2 trillion SHIB from around 44 trillion SHIB on June 25.
IntoTheBlock data shows an increase of 171.5% in large transaction volume and a decrease of 18% in daily active addresses. Transactions greater than $100,000 are up from 25 to 61 in a single day.
Shibariumscan data reflected a spike in daily transactions from 3,960 to 7,530 in a single day while new contracts increased from 2 to 16 during the same period.
What&#8217;s Next: The influence of meme coins is expected to be thoroughly explored at Benzinga&#8217;s upcoming <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/events/digital-assets/agenda/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Future of Digital Assets</a> event on Nov. 19.
