Video game retail stock GameStop Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GME#NYSE">GME</a>) was one of the biggest<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/gaming/23/01/30412695/gamestop-short-squeeze-anniversary-a-look-back-at-david-vs-goliath-battle-and-whats-next"> financial storylines of 2021.</a>
A movie based on the storyline put the stock back in the spotlight in 2023 and the stock is soaring once again thanks to the social media return of a key character in the GameStop saga.
What Happened: GameStop investor Keith Gill, also known as &#8220;Roaring Kitty&#8221; on social media and YouTube, and DeepF&#x2A;&#x2A;&#x2A;ingValue on Reddit, made<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/05/38787490/gamestop-shares-surge-as-roaring-kitty-resurfaces-after-3-year-silence"> his return to social media </a>on May 12, 2024.
The X, formerly known as Twitter, <a href="https://twitter.com/TheRoaringKitty">account </a>of &#8220;Roaring Kitty&#8221; shared a meme on Sunday and went on to post 11<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/gaming/24/05/38798005/roaring-kitty-doubles-down-posts-new-videos-on-x-sending-gamestops-stock-higher"> videos with clips</a> from famous movies and words on screen, as of the time of writing.
GameStop stock soared in response to the posts and &#8220;Roaring Kitty's&#8221; return with shares closing up 74.40% to $30.45 Monday at market close and hitting new 52-week highs of $38.20 during the intraday session.
In 2021, GameStop stock had its moment in the spotlight with a short squeeze of epic proportions that saw retail traders buy shares and fight against hedge funds who had shorted the stock in an epic battle akin to David vs. Goliath.
The storyline was turned into several documentaries and docuseries and also inspired the book "The Antisocial Network: The GameStop Short Squeeze and the Ragtag Group of Amateur Traders That Brought Wall Street to its Knees" by Ben Mezrich.
Sony Group Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SONY#NYSE">SONY</a>)<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/23/06/32975000/gamestop-film-dumb-money-stars-paul-dano-pete-davidson-seth-rogen-cast-details-first-traile"> released a theatrical film</a>, &#8220;Dumb Money,&#8221; based on Mezrich's book on Sept. 15, 2023.
With GameStop shares trading at $18.61 at the time of the theatrical release, an investor could have bought 53.73 GME shares with $1,000. That $1,000 investment would be worth $1,687.12 today, up 68.7% in eight months.
Compare that to the +16.1% return of the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust, which tracks the S&amp;P 500 over the same time period.

Why It's Important: The theatrical release sparked optimism that GameStop shares could rally and see old and new investors get attached to the video game stock once again.
Author Mezrich encouraged people to go to theaters and support several other "meme stocks"<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/23/09/34502730/traders-should-go-to-amc-bring-stuff-from-bed-bath-beyond-carry-blackberry-phones-dumb-mone"> at the time.</a>
The movie grossed $13.9 million domestically and $20.7 million worldwide according to data from <a href="https://www.boxofficemojo.com/title/tt13957560/?ref_=bo_se_r_1">BoxOfficeMojo</a>. The film starred Paul Dano as Gill and also featured actors including Pete Davidson, Vincent D'Onofrio, America Ferrera, Seth Rogen, Anthony Ramos, Sebastian Stan and Nick Offerman.
The film was later released on streaming platform Netflix Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>). It had a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/02/36900320/gamestop-meme-coin-soars-in-value-gains-interest-how-netflix-short-squeeze-anniversary-tim">surge in popularity</a> in its initial release and may have contributed to a meme cryptocurrency based on GameStop trading higher.
While the film's release didn't lead to a huge rally in GameStop shares, investors who bought the stock at the time of the release and held on are now up significantly thanks to the social media return of Gill.
Gill's return <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38789552/are-meme-stocks-back-heres-whats-going-on-with-shares-of-gamestop-amc-entertainment-koss-corp-and-mo">saw meme stocks</a> trade higher and<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/05/38797959/keith-gills-roaring-kitty-comeback-sparks-1400-surge-of-kitty-themed-meme-coin"> several meme cryptocurrencies </a>trade higher on Monday.
Questions remain if Gill will continue to make posts on X, return to making videos on YouTube and if the rally in GameStop stock can be sustained.
The ending of "Dumb Money" previously said Gill "retreated from public life." Based on his social media posts, he could be returning to the spotlight.

If You Invested $1,000 In GameStop Stock When 'Dumb Money' Was Released In Movie Theaters, Here's How Much You'd Have Today

The average American household savings stands at $62,500, according <a href="https://www.federalreserve.gov/econres/scfindex.htm">to</a> the latest Survey of Consumer Finances by the Federal Reserve. This means when you touch the $100,000 savings mark, you've outperformed the average American household and have a milestone to celebrate.
But the next challenge is keeping yourself above this mark, and growing your savings. It's far easier to lose savings that you've toiled for several years, which makes it all the more important to avoid some of the most common mistakes people do.
Here are five mistakes you should avoid when your savings touch $100,000.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Stop Saving Money</h3>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="585" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/13101723/Saving-1-1024x585.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-335154" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/13101723/Saving-1-1024x585.jpg 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/13101723/Saving-1-300x171.jpg 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/13101723/Saving-1-768x439.jpg 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/13101723/Saving-1-1536x878.jpg 1536w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/13101723/Saving-1.jpg 1792w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Representative image of a person stopping saving money &#x7C; Photo generated using Dall-E</figcaption></figure>
Some people tend to neglect savings after reaching a certain milestone. It's possible to be proud of yourself for saving $100,000, but it's worth remembering that this is not the last milestone you need to reach.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Making Expensive Lifestyle Changes</h3>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="585" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/13101349/Saving-2-1024x585.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-335130" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/13101349/Saving-2-1024x585.jpg 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/13101349/Saving-2-300x171.jpg 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/13101349/Saving-2-768x439.jpg 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/13101349/Saving-2-1536x878.jpg 1536w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/13101349/Saving-2.jpg 1792w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Representative image of an expensive lifestyle &#x7C; Photo generated using Dall-E</figcaption></figure>
Another common mistake is many people make sudden and expensive lifestyle changes after reaching a certain level of savings. People can get comfortable knowing they have $100,000 in their bank account and investments, but it's easy to spend it all away.
It's easier to spend away all your savings than it is to save it again.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Keeping All Your Money In A Savings Account</h3>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="585" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/13101419/Saving-3-1024x585.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-335133" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/13101419/Saving-3-1024x585.jpg 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/13101419/Saving-3-300x171.jpg 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/13101419/Saving-3-768x439.jpg 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/13101419/Saving-3-1536x878.jpg 1536w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/13101419/Saving-3.jpg 1792w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Representative image of saving money &#x7C; Photo generated using Dall-E</figcaption></figure>
Savings accounts are not the best place to keep your money, especially when you have a large sum such as $100,000. Leaving all of that in a savings account with a relatively lower rate of interest than other assets with better returns is doing yourself a disservice.
Given how inflation reduces the purchasing power of money, it's important to make sure the rate of return beats it.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Not Diversifying Your Investments</h3>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="585" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/13101447/Saving-4-1024x585.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-335137" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/13101447/Saving-4-1024x585.jpg 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/13101447/Saving-4-300x171.jpg 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/13101447/Saving-4-768x439.jpg 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/13101447/Saving-4-1536x878.jpg 1536w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/13101447/Saving-4.jpg 1792w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Representative image of diverse investments &#x7C; Photo generated using Dall-E</figcaption></figure>
It's easy to put all your money in a single investment or asset if you think it will double or triple or give you multi-bagger returns. However, it's important to avoid that temptation and diversify your investments in a risk-managed portfolio.
This will strike a better balance between the risk and reward. It allows you to capture other possible growth areas while reducing the possibility of a speculative investment wiping out all your savings.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Not Planning Your Finances</h3>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="585" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/13101509/Saving-5-1024x585.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-335139" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/13101509/Saving-5-1024x585.jpg 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/13101509/Saving-5-300x171.jpg 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/13101509/Saving-5-768x439.jpg 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/13101509/Saving-5-1536x878.jpg 1536w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/13101509/Saving-5.jpg 1792w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Representative image of financial planning &#x7C; Photo generated using Dall-E</figcaption></figure>
Financial planning is just as important as saving money. After you touch the $100,000 savings mark, it's essential to have a plan to increase it.
This can be done in two ways – investing in assets that deliver better returns than inflation and increasing the rate of savings.
If you were saving 15% of your monthly income, it's time to step it up to 17%, 20%, and so on. The more you can save, the better it is for a rainy day, and eventually, your retirement.

Hit $100K In Savings? Avoid These 5 Costly Traps That Could Derail Your Financial Future

A new election poll of voters in key swing states shows who could have the best shot between President Joe Biden and Donald Trump to win the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/2024-election"> 2024 presidential election.</a>
 What Happened: Trump and Biden are the likely contenders facing off against each other in the 2024 presidential election, in what will be a rematch of the 2020 election won by Biden. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports-betting/24/04/38417836/trump-and-biden-get-ready-2024-election-betting-odds-point-to-major-showdown">Betting odds</a> and most election polls point to a close race.
Deciding factors for the election could include young voters, voter turnout and the results of several <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/swing-states">key swing states.</a>
A new Siena College/New York Times <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/13/us/politics/biden-trump-battleground-poll.html">poll </a>shows the results of how voters in six key swing states would vote if the election were held today.
The results are:
Arizona: 42% Biden, 49% Trump
Georgia: 39% Biden, 49% Trump
Michigan: 42% Biden, 49% Trump
Nevada: 38% Biden, 50% Trump
Pennsylvania: 44% Biden, 47% Trump
Wisconsin: 47% Biden, 45% Trump
The results see Trump leading in five of the six key states, with dominant leads in several of the states. Biden leads in the state of Wisconsin by a two-point margin.
The poll showed that when voters who said they were likely to vote in the 2024 election were included, Biden leads two states, gaining the state of Michigan.
Including independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as a possible selection also saw a similar results with Trump winning five of the six states.

Biden: 2024 Election Poll Shows Tie Broken — Which Candidate Gains Support From His Party, Independent Voters?</a>
Why It's Important: The poll finds that many voters are still uneasy about the current state of the economy and it could be influencing their 2024 presidential election vote.
Poll findings show that many Americans feel uneasy having Biden in a second term and seeking to have a return to normalcy. Around 25% of voters list the economy and the cost of living as the top issue in the 2024 election.
Around 50% of those polled said that the economy is "poor," which is similar to the same poll conducted back in November. Even with inflation easing and the stock market trading higher, American voters see the economy as negative and a deciding factor in potentially voting against Biden.
Many voters see Trump doing a better job in leading the country when it comes to the economy according to the poll.
Around 70% of those polled said the country's political and economic systems need major changes.
Most swing state polls from other outlets have included seven states with the six mentioned above and the state of North Carolina.
A recent swing state poll of the seven states <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/04/38537950/trump-vs-biden-former-president-holds-lead-in-all-7-swing-states-which-candidate-does-robert-f-k">from Emerson College</a> showed Trump leading in all the key voter markets. Trump's lead was one point in several territories, suggesting a close race.

Six of the seven swing states were won by Biden in the 2020 election, with Trump winning North Carolina. Five of the seven swing states won by Biden in 2020 flipped from Trump's win in 2016, including Arizona, Michigan and Wisconsin.
The six states in this poll were all won by Biden in the 2020 election.

Trump Vs. Biden: New Swing State Poll Reveals Winner, One Key 2024 Election Issue Could Influence Result (Updated)

A panel of Ohio lawmakers cleared 11 administrative rules on Monday for the state's medical and recreational marijuana programs, including one that spells out how existing medical marijuana retailers can apply for dual-use medicinal and recreational dispensary licenses.
The move, undertaken by the Joint Committee On Agency Rule Review (JCARR), puts Ohio adults one step closer to being able to legally purchase cannabis in dispensaries and shops, following <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/23/11/35664155/ohio-legalizes-cannabis-and-overwhelmingly-approves-abortion-rights">last November's legalization</a> of recreational marijuana.
A separate rule also cleared on Monday noted existing dispensaries seeking dual licensees need to fill out and present applications no later than June 7. If approved they will be allowed to sell to medical marijuana patients as well as adults, <a href="https://www.cleveland.com/news/2024/05/coming-soon-recreational-marijuana-dispensary-applications-go-live-in-june-after-state-panel-oks-rule.html">noted</a> Cleveland.com.

Jamie Callender (R), vice chair of JCARR and outspoken <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/23/08/34119078/gop-disputes-and-a-few-threats-notwithstanding-ohioans-of-all-stripes-support-legal-cannabis">supporter of legal cannabis</a>, thanked the head of the Division of Cannabis Control (DCC) for "the work you've put in on this — for doing this timely and to help move forward the will of the voters, and we look forward to watching these rules go into effect in a couple of weeks."
Callender, who <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/04/38193598/gop-congressman-in-ohio-says-retail-weed-sales-to-begin-before-july-4th-weekend-collective-joy-e">said in April </a>that sales should begin at least on July 4, added that regulators assured him that they would have applications online before the new rules' June 7 deadline and he's optimistic that sales will begin by mid-June.
James Canepa, who was selected to serve as the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/03/38008197/gop-bickers-over-legal-marijuana-program-in-ohio-as-cleveland-cannabis-school-becomes-first-in-n">first superintendent</a> of the DCC, previously said the legislature's delayed action could complicate regulators' work to effectively stand up the new market.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">It's Been A Slog</h1>
As of just one month ago, Ohio House leaders said the legislature could not and likely would not find common ground on how and when to move legal cannabis forward.
For months, Republican Gov. Mike DeWine, who is not now nor has even been a supporter of marijuana legalization, nevertheless routinely urged lawmakers to pass regulations and get the show on the road. 
"What we don&#8217;t want is a situation where the black market grows and we don&#8217;t want a situation really where people don&#8217;t know what the rules are, and we just need to get this done,&#8221; Gov DeWine said at several points and in various ways during the negotiations between the state GOP-dominated House and Senate.

GOP Lawmakers In Ohio Finally Approve Rules Allowing Cannabis Sales To Begin In June, Existing Medical Marijuana Dispensaries Can Join In

According to a new study published in Science Advances, fifty-six brands led by&nbsp;Coca-Cola&nbsp;(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ko#NYSE">KO</a>), PepsiCo (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/pep#NASDAQ">PEP</a>), and Nestl&eacute; (SWX: NESN) are responsible for more than half of the plastic pollution found across the globe.
The study reveals a direct correlation between the companies&#39; annual plastic production and their contribution to branded plastic pollution.
Annually, about 400 million tons&nbsp;of plastic waste are generated, most of which does not decompose, biodegrade&nbsp;or compost. Instead it accumulates&nbsp;in landfills and aquatic environments.
Alarmingly, the equivalent of<a href="https://www.unep.org/plastic-pollution"> 2,000 garbage trucks full of plastic </a>is dumped into the world&#39;s oceans, rivers&nbsp;and lakes daily, leading to increased human ingestion of <a href="https://www.axios.com/2024/01/10/plastic-particles-bottled-water-pollution">nanoplastic particles</a>, with potential health risks yet to be fully understood.
This extensive <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2024/04/24/plastic-pollution-companies-responsible/">research</a> involved over 100,000 volunteers worldwide who cataloged 1.8 million pieces of plastic waste, underscoring the significant environmental impact of these major corporations.
<h3>Corporate Responses And Hemp Bioplastics</h3>
To address their environmental impacts, Coca-Cola has pledged to make its packaging fully recyclable by 2025 and to use at least 50% recycled materials by 2030. Similarly, PepsiCo and Nestl&eacute; are pushing for stronger global policies on plastic waste management.
However, the <a href="https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.adj8275">study suggests</a> traditional strategies may be insufficient. This has spurred interest in sustainable alternatives like hemp bioplastics, which are biodegradable and offer a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/02/37271000/u-s-army-invests-1-9m-to-develop-hemp-manufactured-buildings-for-military-operations">reduced environmental footprint</a>, potentially revolutionizing the packaging industry.
<h3>Why Hemp Is An Alternative To Plastics?</h3>
Hemp, a sustainable and rapidly renewable resource, can be transformed into bioplastics that are both<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/emerging-markets/17/05/9405826/why-hemp-could-be-the-future-of-plastics"> biodegradable</a> and non-toxic.
Unlike traditional plastics derived from fossil fuels, hemp bioplastics decompose naturally, leaving minimal environmental impact. This makes hemp an appealing option for companies looking to reduce their ecological footprint and comply with global sustainability standards.
Moreover, hemp bioplastics can be integrated into <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/04/38367354/ohio-hemp-company-re-greening-the-rust-belt-with-bioplastics-option-for-midwest-auto-industry">existing manufacturing processes </a>without significant alterations, offering a seamless transition aeway from conventional plastics.
With their robust and durable nature, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/hemp">hemp bioplastics</a> can be used in a wide range of applications, from packaging to automotive parts, potentially revolutionizing the industry and contributing to a more <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/04/38327403/usda-hemp-market-report-shows-stability-and-growth-amid-challenges">sustainable future</a>.
As negotiations for a global plastics treaty continue, the role of hemp bioplastics could become central in achieving the dual goals of economic development and environmental sustainability.

Coca-Cola, PepsiCo And Nestlé Are Top Plastic Polluters: Is Hemp The Answer To Nanoplastics In The Oceans??

Meme stocks have once again captured the spotlight in the financial market following the return of Keith Gill — known widely as &#8220;Roaring Kitty&#8221;— to social media after <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/gaming/24/05/38798005/roaring-kitty-doubles-down-posts-new-videos-on-x-sending-gamestops-stock-higher">a three-year hiatus. </a>
For those unfamiliar, Gill is a pivotal figure in the meme stock phenomenon that took the financial world by storm in early 2021. As an individual investor and financial analyst, he became famous for his role in the explosive rise of GameStop Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GME#NASDAQ">GME</a>)&#8217;s stock price.
The struggling video game retailer saw its shares soar from under $20 to nearly $500 at their peak in January 2021, largely driven by a short squeeze on investors who had bet against the stock amid weak fundamentals. 
Unlike traditional stocks, which are influenced by fundamental analysis and corporate performance, meme stocks are often subject to rapid price changes driven by hype <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38795608/gamestop-leads-roaring-rally-whats-going-on-with-meme-stocks">and mass trading actions.</a>
Gill chronicled his investment journey across various platforms, including YouTube and Reddit, notably under the username u/DeepF&#x2A;&#x2A;&#x2A;&#x2A;&#x2A;&#x2A;Value on the subreddit r/WallStreetBets. His philosophy is emblematic of a broader narrative about meme stocks and the democratization of investing, illustrating how individual investors can unite to disrupt the financial status quo of seasoned and large investors.
Gill&#8217;s resurgence on X (formerly known as Twitter) on May 13, sparked a viral reaction. A posted image of a man intensely focused on a video game, adopting a serious gaming stance, served as a metaphor for Gill&#8217;s impactful return to the public eye.
The post has attracted considerable attention, amassing over 10K retweets, 24K quote tweets, 94K likes, and over 19 million views, highlighting its widespread appeal and significance.

As a result, GameStop&#8217;s share price soared by 74% on Monday, representing the fourth-largest one-day gain since the company&#8217;s IPO in 2002. This surge trails only behind the spikes of 104% on Feb. 21, 2021, 135% on Jan. 27, 2021, and 93% on Jan. 26, 2021.
Similarly, other meme-related stocks experienced significant increases. AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMC#NYSE">AMC</a>) saw its shares climb nearly 80%, marking its most substantial single-day rise since June 2021, the third strongest in its history.

As 'Roaring Kitty' Returns, Here Are 3 ETFs To Leverage The 2024 Meme Stock Wave

The Martha's Vineyard island in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/massachusetts-cannabis" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Massachusetts</a> faces a cannabis crisis as Fine Fettle, the island&#8217;s only cannabis cultivation and dispensary operation, plans to close. State regulators are exploring alternatives to prevent a supply shortage that could push consumers towards the black market.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Impact Of Federal Regulations On Island Cannabis Supply</h3>
The state's Cannabis Control Commission (CCC) is leading efforts to address the logistical hurdles of transporting cannabis to the island. Federal regulations still prohibit the transportation of cannabis over water and air, with the U.S. Coast Guard enforcing these laws, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/05/38678043/dea-and-cannabis-rescheduling-a-rollercoaster-ride-you-dont-want-to-miss-but-keep-your-seatbelts" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">as cannabis remains classified as an illegal substance</a>. Even though Martha&#8217;s Vineyard is just four miles from the Massachusetts mainland, it is only accessible by ferry or plane. Nevertheless, dispensaries on Martha&#8217;s Vineyard rely on locally grown cannabis, a supply that is set to disappear with Fine Fettle&#8217;s impending closure, <a href="https://vineyardgazette.com/news/2024/05/10/state-prioritizes-vineyard-marijuana-access-wake-closure?utm_source=www.cultivated.news&amp;utm_medium=newsletter&amp;utm_campaign=big-shakeup-for-new-york-cannabis" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported</a> The Vineyard Gazette.
"We do have quite a bit of inventory, and it's fresh and good," <a href="https://vineyardgazette.com/news/2024/05/03/islands-only-marijuana-grower-close" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">said</a> Benjamin Zachs, president of Connecticut-based Fine Fettle. He estimated the dispensary would deplete its inventory and likely close by this fall.
Discover how innovative regulatory solutions and strategic state responses, like those being considered for Martha&#8217;s Vineyard, are shaping the future of the cannabis industry. Join the conversation at the Benzinga Cannabis Capital Conference this October in Chicago. Hear directly from key industry players, experts, advocates, and policymakers. <a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/benzinga-capital-conference-cannabis-fall-2024-tickets-858948065787?aff=oddtdtcreator" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Get your tickets now</a> by following <a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/benzinga-capital-conference-cannabis-fall-2024-tickets-858948065787?aff=oddtdtcreator" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">this link</a>.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Operational Hurdles Leading To Fine Fettle's Closure</h3>
Fine Fettle&#8217;s closure is attributed to financial struggles unique to operating on an island, including higher costs, competitive pricing from mainland dispensaries and seasonal demand fluctuations. Despite efforts to maintain viability, Zachs <a href="https://www.mvtimes.com/2024/05/03/vineyard-marijuana-dispensary-close/">told</a> The Martha's Vineyard Times, "We haven't been able to crack the nut to not lose money."
During a recent commission meeting, the pressing nature of the situation was outlined by commissioner Kimberly Roy, &#8220;If we do nothing, you are going to have 234 patients with no medical access on the Island. That's the reality of it.&#8221; Martha&#8217;s Vineyard has a year-round population of around 20,000 people.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Supply Chain Regulatory Challenges</h3>
Efforts to ensure continuity of supply are not new. Massachusetts had previously relaxed testing requirements specifically for island communities after 2012 when medical <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/cannabis-legalization" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">cannabis was legalized</a>. Regulations, designed primarily for motor vehicle transport, do not accommodate ferry or aerial deliveries, which are the only means to bridge the gap between the mainland and Martha&#8217;s Vineyard.
Furthermore, comparative solutions from other states like <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/new-york-cannabis" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New York</a>, which permits cannabis transportation via ferries, and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/maine-cannabis" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Maine</a>, which is addressing similar challenges for its coastal islands, are being reviewed for applicability. In Alaska where many areas are accessible only by air or water <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/04/38472175/federal-court-to-cannabis-pilot-no-more-transporting-weed-around-alaska-faa-revokes-license-thou" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">dispensaries transport products on commercial flights</a>. The CCC is investigating these models to adapt them to Massachusetts' legal framework.
As the state Commission prepares for a forthcoming meeting to engage with local authorities and stakeholders, the overarching goal is clear: establishing a viable supply chain that ensures safe, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/04/38022665/massachusetts-cannabis-market-hits-record-highs-faces-regulatory-challenges-and-more" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">legal access to cannabis for residents</a> and deters illegal market growth.

In a surprising turn of events, Games Global Ltd, a UK-based company known for its online casino games, has decided to pull its initial public offering (IPO) from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/initial-public-offering">the U.S</a>.
What Happened: As reported by Reuters, the company announced this decision on Monday, without providing any specific reasons for the withdrawal.

The company, which was founded in 2021, had planned to raise $254 million through its IPO. The proposed price range was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/ipos/24/05/38793038/preview-games-global-limited-set-to-ipo-tomorrow">$16 to $19 per share</a>, which would have valued the company at around $2.0 billion. The IPO was expected to be listed on the NYSE under the symbol GGL.
Why It Matters: Games Global&#8217;s decision to withdraw its IPO comes as a surprise, especially after the company had set the terms for its IPO just a week ago. The company announced plans to offer 14.5 million shares, with 59% of the <a href="https://www.renaissancecapital.com/IPO-Center/News/104515/Online-casino-games-developer-Games-Global-sets-terms-for-$254-million-US-I">shares</a> being secondary.
Games Global&#8217;s decision to withdraw its IPO also comes after the company had secured an exclusive deal with the UFC for branded slot games, as reported by <a href="https://news.worldcasinodirectory.com/games-global-secures-exclusive-deal-with-ufc-for-branded-slot-games-113295">World</a> Casino Directory. This partnership is expected to further boost the company&#8217;s standing in the online gaming industry.
Before that, Games Global and AreaVegas Games launched a new game, Area Link&#x2122; <a href="https://europeangaming.eu/portal/latest-news/2024/05/07/158478/games-global-and-areavegas-games-unleash-the-mythical-beast-in-area-link-dragon/">Dragon</a>, adding to its extensive portfolio of more than 1,300 games.
The reasons behind the IPO withdrawal remain unclear.
