In a<a href="https://omny.fm/shows/suze-ormans-women-and-money/how-to-be-stronger-than-you-have-ever-been"> recent Women &amp; Money podcast</a> episode, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/11/42249101/my-85-year-old-mother-has-dementia-and-loves-going-to-the-casino-suze-orman-advises-on-how-to-handle-the-situation">Suze Orman</a> addressed a deeply personal and challenging question from a listener named Cecilia. The topic: financial responsibilities between parents and children, particularly when parents have a history of financial irresponsibility.&nbsp;
Cecilia's heartfelt email described a lifetime of dealing with her parents' <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/06/39416286/56-year-old-lost-150-000-life-savings-when-she-followed-a-friends-investment-advice-now-she-cant">poor financial decisions</a> and their ongoing requests for money, leaving her torn between guilt and resentment.

<li>Can you guess how many Americans successfully retire with $1,000,000 saved?<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/1milsaved"> The percentage may shock you</a>.</li>
</ul>
Cecilia explained that her parents were financially irresponsible throughout her childhood, even taking money from her savings. Decades later, the pattern persists – her parents continue to ask for financial help, judging her for having &#8220;more&#8221; than they do. Despite her attempts to guide them toward better financial habits, her efforts have been in vain. She feels trapped.&nbsp;
"If I don&#8217;t give, I can feel guilty and if I do give, then I feel taken advantage of and like I&#8217;m perpetuating an endless cycle," Cecilia wrote. With her <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/10/41555075/millennials-and-gen-z-rely-on-parents-for-financial-support-survey-finds-its-costing-them-their-">parents nearing retirement</a> without a sufficient financial cushion, Cecilia asked Orman if she had an obligation to support them.
Orman tackled Cecilia's question head-on, emphasizing that parents have a fundamental responsibility to care for and financially support their children, not the other way around. She pointed out that Cecilia's parents' actions, while hurtful, inadvertently taught her financial responsibility by showing her what not to do.

"It seems like they did a pretty good job with you," Orman stated. "Because you saw by their behavior how you did not want to do that." She suggested that Cecilia's childhood experiences might have driven her to become the financially successful woman she is today. Orman also referenced her book The 9 Steps to Financial Freedom and explained how early money memories, like parents taking a child's savings, often have lasting impressions on how individuals handle money in adulthood.
Orman and her wife, KT, agreed that a child is not obligated to provide financial support to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/07/40001551/do-i-have-to-support-my-financially-irresponsible-75-year-old-mother-suze-ormans-take-on-priorit">irresponsible parents</a>. KT offered her perspective, contrasting Cecilia's situation with her upbringing. She shared how her parents' financial responsibility made helping them later in life a joy, not a burden. "We never felt that we were responsible because they never put us in that position," KT explained.
For Cecilia, Orman stressed the need to establish firm boundaries. "You have got to take care of yourself first," she said, urging Cecilia to recognize that giving money to her parents in their current state is not helping them – it's perpetuating their dependence.

Orman offered Cecilia and others in similar situations some actionable advice:
<ol>
<li>Communicate Clearly: Sit down with her parents and lovingly but firmly explain that the "Bank of Cecilia" is closed. While she might provide essentials like food, financial handouts will no longer be an option.</li>
<li>Focus on Tough Love: Allowing her parents to face the consequences of their financial choices might be the only way to prompt change. Orman noted that financial transformation often occurs only after hitting rock bottom.</li>
<li>Reframe the Guilt: Orman told Cecilia to remember that she prioritizes her well-being by refusing to enable her parents' behavior – a critical step in maintaining her self-respect and financial health.</li>
</ol>
Orman's advice to Cecilia serves as a powerful reminder that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/09/41080499/you-never-ask-me-for-money-again-kevin-oleary-explains-instead-of-investing-in-family-members-busine">financial obligations within families</a> are complex but must be rooted in mutual respect and responsibility. For children in similar situations, setting boundaries isn't an act of selfishness – it's a step toward fostering healthier relationships and protecting personal financial stability.

United States Steel Corp Shares Halted On Circuit Breaker To The Downside, Stock Now Down -8.79%

Kroger shares are trading higher following reports that a U.S. judge blocked the proposed merger with Albertsons Companies.

Albertsons Companies Shares Resume Trade, Then Again Halted; Stock Now Down -5.76%

Albertsons Companies shares are trading lower following a report indicating the merger with Kroger was blocked by a US judge.

Luigi Mangione, the suspect in the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, is fighting extradition from Pennsylvania to New York, where <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care/24/12/42316904/unitedhealthcare-ceo-brian-thompson-fatally-shot-outside-nyc-hotel">the shooting occurred.</a>
What Happened: Mangione, who was<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care/24/12/42398524/person-of-interest-named-in-unitedhealthcare-ceos-murder-ghost-gun-found"> arrested at a Pennsylvania McDonald's</a> Monday, appeared in court Tuesday afternoon for an extradition hearing. Mangione has been charged with killing Thompson, who was the CEO of UnitedHealthcare, a unit of UnitedHealth Group (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNH#NYSE">UNH</a>).
The murder suspect and University of Pennsylvania grad said he is fighting extradition while appearing in court alongside his lawyer. Mangione told the judge he understood his rights, according to a <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/live/2024/12/10/nyregion/unitedhealthcare-luigi-mangione">report </a>from the New York Times.
Mangione's lawyer Thomas Dickey told his client to stop talking at one point when the lawyer was discussing mask wearing with the judge.
"No, no. Don't say a word," Dickey said.
Mangione was in the courtroom for 45 minutes Tuesday and was handcuffed during the appearance.
Dickey told reporters he was representing Mangione prior to the start of the hearing, but would not clarify if he was only representing him in the extradition hearing or the entire case. Dickey also did not answer when asked whether he had been retained by his client or court appointed.
Ahead of the hearing, Mangione shouted toward reporters as he was led into the courthouse. 
"It's extremely out of touch and an insult to the intelligence of the American people," Mangione said, <a href="https://x.com/nypost/status/1866562261575258571">according</a> to the New York Post.

What's Next: Bail was not set by the judge, despite a request from Mangione's lawyer. Mangione will remain custody in Pennsylvania as the extradition process continues.
With Mangione fighting extradition to New York, the process to get him back to New York could take weeks or up to a month according to the New York Times report.
Mangione is entitled to a hearing in Pennsylvania that would include evidence and a witness from the Manhattan district attorney's office.
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul will also have to formally submit a "governor's warrant" to Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro requesting extradition, the report said.
Among the charges Mangione faces is second-degree murder in New York. The charge carries a minimum punishment of 15 years and up to life in prison upon conviction. In the state of Pennsylvania he faces weapons charges.

<a href="https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/business/2024/12/10/barrick-said-to-seek-buyer-for-ivory-coast-mine-as-bullion-soars/">https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/business/2024/12/10/barrick-said-to-seek-buyer-for-ivory-coast-mine-as-bullion-soars/</a>
Barrick Gold Corp. is seeking buyers for its Tongon gold mine in the Ivory Coast in an effort to sell the aging operation when bullion prices are surging.
The world's No. 2 gold miner started working with Toronto-Dominion Bank to identify buyers and solicit bids for the mine in late November, according to people familiar with the matter, who asked not to be named discussing confidential matters.
Barrick and TD both declined to comment.
Barrick plans to stop production at the 24-year-old open-pit mine by 2027 given its depleting resources, according to company filings. The mine produced 204,000 ounces last year — about 5% of Barrick's overall gold output for the year. Barrick has a nearly 90% stake in Tongon, with the Ivory Coast government and local investors holding the rest of the operation, 682 kilometers (424 miles) north of the port city Abidjan.
Price Rally
Gold producers have seen higher valuations for mines this year as bullion prices hit successive record highs bolstered by central-bank buying, geopolitical uncertainty and interest-rate cuts. Barrick's rival, Newmont Corp., has brought in $3.9 billion from selling mines in 2024 — almost double its initial divestment target. Newmont's Akyem mine in Africa drew interest from several Chinese firms and was ultimately sold to Zijin Mining Group Co. for $1 billion.&nbsp;
Barrick previously considered selling Tongon in 2019, without avail. The company had signaled it was weighing options for the mature operation during an investor event in November.
"Although we have continued extending Tongon's life, it has become increasingly non-core to Barrick, and therefore we are currently looking at strategic options for this asset," Sebastiaan Bock, Barrick's chief operating officer for Africa and the Middle East, said during the event. Disposing of the asset "will increase the quality of the portfolio and it will reduce the cost profile by more than $50 per ounce." &nbsp;

The first Lucid Motors Gravity SUV just <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2024/12/05/lucid-motors-completes-its-first-gravity-suv/">rolled off the company's production line</a> last week, and now it has an official EPA range estimate of 450 miles.
That's a tick higher than the 440-mile estimate Lucid had been citing in the run-up to the official launch and production run of the SUV, which starts at $94,900. (A cheaper $79,900 version is set to go into production in late 2025.)
Lucid's CEO Peter Rawlinson boasted in a <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7272244960479866880/">post</a> on Linkedin that the Gravity offers "the performance of a sports car with supreme comfort, and 450 miles of range using half of earth's precious resources compared to some competitors."
Lucid's focus on advanced engineering has helped it unlock serious range, both in its Air sedan and now in the Gravity SUV. The top-performing Air can last as long as around 512 miles on a full battery, according to its EPA estimate. Tesla's longest-range EV is its Model S sedan, which tops out at around 402 miles. (Its direct competitor to the Gravity, the Model X SUV, has a max of 329 miles).
But Lucid has struggled to make these technological achievements resonate with a broad customer base. Lucid <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2024/02/21/lucid-motors-2024-guidance-2023-results-gravity-suv/">once hoped</a> to have built and sold as many as 90,000 Airs by this point in time. It is likely to finish 2024 at around a tenth of that figure. The Gravity is a chance for the company to change that trajectory in North America, where sedans are passé and SUVs dominate the roads.

Topping the list was Algerian boxer Imane Khelif, who won a gold medal at the 2024 Summer Olympics. Khelif became the subject of cyberbullying and intense discussion on social media about gender.
Boxers Jake Paul and Mike Tyson, who recently squared off in a live Netflix Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) special, each ranked in the top 10 for the year as well, showing the strength in searches for the sport of boxing.
Simone Biles was another Olympic athlete among the most-searched. Comcast Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMCSA#NASDAQ">CMCSA</a>) provided live Olympics coverage across broadcast television, cable and streaming.
Outside of boxing and the Olympics, soccer was well represented. Lamine Yamal, Nico Williams and Rodri all made the list. Cricket also saw two athletes (Pandya, Singh) on this year's list.

Jake Paul, Mike Tyson, Simone Biles And More: The Most-Searched Athletes On Google In 2024

There has been a lot of jubilation surrounding the rally in small cap stocks in recent months. However, investors and traders alike need to be careful about assuming that the small-cap area of the stock market will outperform in a meaningful way in 2025.
Although I do acknowledge that the Russell 2000 small-cap index has outperformed so far in the second half of 2024, that statistic is a bit misleading. I'd also note that we have all heard about how the small-cap stocks were going to outperform several times over the last two years. However, after a very short period of outperformance, small-caps have gone back to lagging behind the rest of the market.&nbsp;
Don't get me wrong, I am not saying that there is no way that the Russell 2000 cannot finally outperform in 2025. It has been acting well recently, with a series of higher-lows and higher-highs. It has also made a new all-time high recently. All of this is positive. However, we're going to have to see a lot more upside follow-through before I can get overly excited about this area of the stock market.
Several issues concern me. First of all, everybody seems to be wildly bullish on the small cap sector. Again, we've seen this pop up many times over the past two years, only to see the group fade rather quickly. (In fact, its outperformance already seems to be fading. Last year, when it outperformed in Q4, it lasted into the New Year. This year, it's already showing signs of fading.)
Another concern is that even though the Russell 2020 was able to make a new high recently, it has not been able to push above its 2021 record highs in any material way on a weekly basis. Therefore, if it rolls back over in a material way soon, it will raise some real warning flags.&nbsp;
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="476" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/10145946/image001-2-1024x476.png" alt="" class="wp-image-686101" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/10145946/image001-2-1024x476.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/10145946/image001-2-300x140.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/10145946/image001-2-768x357.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/10145946/image001-2.png 1139w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
Finally, even though the Russell 2000 has outperformed the S&amp;P 500 and the Magnificent 7 tech index since July 1, it has underperformed for most of the rest of the year, including the rest of the second half of 2024. We all know that the Mag 7 stocks have outperformed year-to-date, but despite the way it has been portrayed around most of Wall Street, the Mag 7 have outperformed the small caps if you use any other starting point in the second half starting on August 1. In fact, the Mag 7 stocks have even outperformed since the election!&nbsp;
In other words, the big cap tech stocks are still the most important leadership group in the stock market today. Don't get me wrong, if the Russell 2000 can break above its all-time highs from 2021 in a more significant manner, it will be very bullish for the small-cap sector of the stock market. Thus, I don't want to sound overly cautious right here.
I'm just saying that with the bullish sentiment for the small caps becoming quite extreme recently, I want to see this group actually breakout before we jump on board the train. We've just been disappointed too many times in this group in recent years not to be wary of all the bullishness that surrounds it right now.

What To Know: Boeing has restarted production of the 737 MAX jetliner about a month after a strike due to labor contract negotiations ended, according to Reuters. Boeing has not made an official announcement, but three sources familiar with the matter reportedly said production resumed on Friday.
The production halt had lasted approximately seven weeks as the strike involved 33,000 factory workers and stalled operations at a critical time for Boeing. The planemaker relies heavily on sales of the 737 MAX, which is its best-selling model. 
The report indicates that Boeing has around 4,200 outstanding orders for the 737 MAX from airlines seeking to meet rising global air travel demand. However, Boeing is currently limited to producing a maximum of 38 planes per month due to regulatory restrictions imposed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
These restrictions were introduced after a January 2024 incident where an Alaska Airlines 737 MAX 9 lost a door panel during flight, sparking critical safety concerns. The FAA has not indicated when the production cap might be lifted.
Analysts at Jefferies expect Boeing to produce an average of 29 737 MAX planes per month in 2025. The company faces challenges in reaching its long-term goal of increasing production to 56 planes per month due to supply chain issues, past safety incidents and heightened regulatory scrutiny. 
BA Price Action: Boeing shares were up 5.18% at $165.12 at the time of publication, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro.</a>
