Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/msft#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) joined Apple Inc (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/aapl#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) as the second U.S. company to achieve a $2 trillion valuation on Tuesday.
What Happened: Microsoft shares touched an intraday high of $265.79 in Tuesday&rsquo;s trading giving the company a valuation slightly above&nbsp;$2 trillion.
In August last year, Apple&rsquo;s market cap <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/amp/content/17176566" style="text-decoration-line:none">rose beyond the $2 trillion mark</a>. At the time, some analysts said that the Tim Cook-led tech giant is on its way to the $3 trillion level.
Cloud has been a key driver in the recent spurt of growth for Microsoft,&nbsp;with total revenue from that segment hitting <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/21/04/20823950/microsoft-beats-q3-earnings-estimates-sees-azure-revenue-up-50" style="text-decoration-line:none">$17.7 billion in the third quarter</a>, which translates into a growth of 33% year-over-year.
As per Q3 results, the company&rsquo;s intelligent cloud segment revenue stood at $15.1 billion, a growth of 23% year-over-year.
Microsoft also saw robust growth in its cloud service revenue which shot up 26% year-over-year buoyed by Azure revenue which shot up 50% year-over-year.&nbsp;
Why It Matters: Year-to-date returns on Microsoft shares have eclipsed other tech giants such as cloud rival Amazon.com, Inc (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/amzn#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) and even Apple.&nbsp;
MSFT shares have spiked 19.4% since 2021 began, while Amazon and Apple shares rose 7.6% and 1%, respectively.&nbsp;

&quot;Another solid quarter across Microsoft&#39;s major lines of business underscores powerful DX tailwinds and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/21/04/20841686/4-microsoft-analysts-break-down-software-giants-q3-earnings-cloud-strength-long-ter" style="text-decoration-line:none">solid execution in place</a> across key components of the Microsoft cloud,&rdquo; said Bank of America analyst Brad Sills, post the company&rsquo;s Q3 results.
Price Action: On Tuesday, Microsoft shares closed 1.1% higher at $265.51 in the regular session and gained another almost 0.2% in the after-hours trading.

Tesla Inc (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/tsla#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk made an appearance on &ldquo;Saturday Night Live&rdquo; on May 8 in an episode that was expected to feature Dogecoin (CRYPTO: DOGE) heavily.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-buy-dogecoin-doge/" style="text-decoration-line:none">How To Buy Dogecoin (DOGE)&nbsp;</a>
Musk did not disappoint, mentioning the meme coin during his opening monologue. The Tesla CEO&nbsp;also appeared as a financial expert during a skit and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/21/05/21026043/heres-the-elon-musk-dogecoin-bit-on-snl-everyone-is-talking-about" style="text-decoration-line:none">called DOGE a &ldquo;hustle.&rdquo;</a>
DOGE Investment: If an investor got inspired to invest $1,000 in DOGE on the day Musk appeared on &ldquo;Saturday Night Live,&rdquo; here is how much they would have today.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/21/06/21672468/heres-why-elon-musk-wont-win-an-emmy-for-snl-hosting-gig" style="text-decoration-line:none">Here&#39;s Why Elon Musk Won&#39;t Win An Emmy For &#39;SNL&#39; Hosting Gig</a>
Investing $1,000 in Dogecoin at its intraday peak of $0.74 would have secured 1,351.35 DOGE for the investors.
This is also the all-time high level for the Shiba Inu-themed cryptocurrency, which is now trading 71.14% below those highs at $0.215.
DOGE traded 5.03% higher over 24 hours leading up to press time.
At the current price, the $1,000 investment made on the day Saturday Night Live featuring Musk aired would only be worth $290.54.
Doggone Returns: The $1,000 investment translated into a 70.94% loss for the investor, but it is worth keeping in mind that DOGE has returned 4,306.31% gains since the year began.
The meme cryptocurrency has a market cap of $27.70 billion, making it the seventh currency in terms of market capitalization, as per CoinMarketCap data.

ContextLogic Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/wish#NASDAQ">WISH</a>), Clover Health Investments Corp.

What Happened: ContextLogic, an e-commerce company that operates the Wish platform, continued to be the most-discussed stock on the forum with 1,423 mentions during the last 24 hours at press time, data from Quiver Quantitative showed.
Medical insurance technology company Clover Health was a distant second with 878 mentions, followed by Canada-based tech giant BlackBerry with 732 mentions. BlackBerry is set to announce its first-quarter earnings after the bell on Thursday.
The other stocks that are trending on the forum include movie theatre chain AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/amc#NYSE">AMC</a>), videogame retailer GameStop Corp.

Why It Matters: ContextLogic continues to be a favorite with retail investors due to its high level of institutional ownership and the amount of short interest on the stock.
Clover Health is seeing renewed interest after the company acknowledged in a regulatory filing&nbsp;that the recent momentum in its stock could be the result of a short squeeze.
Globalstar shares rose after B. Riley <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/penny-stocks/21/06/21670392/why-globalstar-is-trading-higher-again-today">initiated</a> coverage on the company and announced a price target well above its current level.

Famed Dogecoin (CRYPTO: DOGE) investor Glauber Contessoto has refused to sell his holdings in the meme cryptocurrency despite losing his millionaire status following the selloff in the cryptocurrency market earlier in the week.
What Happened: Contessoto, who invested his life savings in Dogecoin earlier this year, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2021/06/22/millennial-dogecoin-investor-refuses-to-sell-despite-crypto-crash.html">told</a> CNBC that while he is not currently a &ldquo;dogecoin millionaire&rdquo; on paper, he plans to hold the currency for more than a year.
&ldquo;Whatever happens in the short-term doesn&rsquo;t matter to me because I&rsquo;m looking to &lsquo;hodl&rsquo; dogecoin for years to come. I&rsquo;m truly not worried at the end of the day,&rdquo; Contessoto said.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-buy-dogecoin-doge/">How To Buy Dogecoin (DOGE)</a>
He added he would have been worried if apex cryptocurrency&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/is-bitcoin-a-good-investment/">Bitcoin</a> (CRYPTO: BTC) and Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) were also not hit.
Contessoto&rsquo;s Dogecoin holdings touched <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/21/05/21140821/meet-the-dogecoin-millionaire-whos-holding-onto-his-bag">$2 million</a> in May after the Shiba Inu-themed cryptocurrency hit an all-time high of almost 74 cents in early May. However, his portfolio was worth only $831,539 as of Tuesday evening following the bloodbath in the cryptocurrency market, as per the CNBC report.

Why It Matters: Dogecoin has shot to prominence this year, buoyed by endorsements from Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/tsla#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk and other celebrities. However, the meme cryptocurrency is down almost 71.5% from the all-time high of $0.7376 it touched in May.
Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies plunged Monday after China&rsquo;s central bank <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/21/06/21658127/why-is-bitcoin-tanking-today">warned</a> financial institutions against dealing with cryptocurrency-related services.

Diamond Hands? Famed Dogecoin Investor Says Not Selling Despite Losing Millionaire Status

<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/is-bitcoin-a-good-investment/" style="text-decoration-line:none">Bitcoin</a> (CRYPTO: BTC) traded above the $33,000 level on Tuesday night after touching a low of $28,893.62 on an intraday basis. Analysts are of the view that the apex cryptocurrency may have more pain in store for investors as it may not have found a bottom around the $29,000 mark.
Looming Summer Of Discontent: The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/21/06/21657974/dogecoin-tanks-28-in-massive-crypto-rout-ethereum-falls-below-2-000-mark" style="text-decoration-line:none">recent turmoil</a> in the cryptocurrency market was fueled by China and its crackdown on Bitcoin miners. Additional pressures came in from Grayscale unlocking schedule and selling by newcomers, as per ExoAlpha partner &Eacute;lie Le Rest, <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-price-bounces-to-33k-but-analysts-say-it-s-too-early-to-call-a-bottom" style="text-decoration-line:none">reported</a> Cointelegraph.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-buy-bitcoin/" style="text-decoration-line:none">How To Buy Bitcoin (BTC)</a>
La Rest theorized that Bitcoin prices could be rangebound between $25,000 to $35,000 in July and low volumes in August holding potential to &ldquo;accelerate this downside trend or build the upside trend.&rdquo;
Institutional Caprice: Total open interest in the BTC futures market stands at $11.3 billion, a decline of 59% from the April 13 peak of $27.3 billion, as per Arcane Research data, <a href="https://www.coindesk.com/open-interest-in-bitcoin-futures-drops" style="text-decoration-line:none">reported</a> CoinDesk.
The report by Arcane said that institutional investors are being &ldquo;cautious&rdquo; at the moment and noted that the three-month futures in BTC are in backwardation &mdash; which means they are being traded at a discount to current spot prices, as per CoinDesk.
Open interest on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) is currently at 12.2% of the Bitcoin futures market, as per Arcane. Open interest on the CME as a share of the total bitcoin futures was rising at the end of May but now has taken a downwards turn.
Paging Mr. Musk: David Lifchitz, the chief investment officer of ExoAlpha, said that BTC seems to have drawn &ldquo;the line in sand&rdquo; at $29,000 and Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) at $1,700, but even he warns against abandoning prudence but did playfully call out for the intervention of Tesla Inc (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/tsla#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk.

&ldquo;It&#39;s too early to tell if this is &#39;the&#39; bottom or just a temporary floor before more downside. The lack of any upside catalyst (besides some contrarian oversold metrics) remains the biggest hurdle for cryptos to bounce back... Paging Mr.Musk, paging Mr.Musk,&rdquo; said Lifchitz, as per Cointelegraph.
BTC traded 3.78% higher at $33,812.33 at press time over 24 hours, while ETH traded 2.43% higher at $1,996.72.

DOGE scored 3.42% and 8.79% gains against <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/is-bitcoin-a-good-investment/" style="text-decoration-line:none">Bitcoin</a> (CRYPTO: BTC) and Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH), the two top cryptocurrencies by market capitalization.
BTC traded 4.01% higher at $32,801.62 over 24 hours, while ETH traded 0.25% lower at $1,894.42 in the same period.
BTC and ETH declined 17% and 24.94% respectively over a week leading up to press time.
Other cryptocurrencies that saw significant gains included Celo (CRYPTO: CELO), which traded 25.31% higher at $2.30 at press time over 24 hours. Chiliz (CRYPTO: CHZ) traded 9.3% higher at $0.23 in the same period.
The top gainer on Tuesday evening was Livepeer (CRYPTO: LPT), the token of a decentralized live video streaming network, which soared 28.18% to $24.74. The cryptocurrency rose 23.72% and 30.13% against BTC and ETH, respectively.
Why It Matters: Mason Nystrom, a research analyst at Messari, said on Twitter Monday that Livepeer is finding product-market-fit and is transcoding a million minutes of video each week.

As of press time, global cryptocurrency market capitalization touched $1.28 trillion, a gain of 2.04% over 24 hours.
Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies plunged Monday after China&rsquo;s central bank instructed the country&rsquo;s major <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/21/06/21658127/why-is-bitcoin-tanking-today" style="text-decoration-line:none">financial institutions to restrict services</a> for cryptocurrency transactions.

One Big Thing In Fintech: While headlines from the blockchain industry have recently been dominated by Bitcoin, the biggest story in the space has still largely been overlooked (or missed) by most news outlets: the rise of DeFi, or Decentralized Finance.
Over the last year, a &ldquo;decentralized Wall Street&rdquo; has emerged, with users locking up over $50 billion worth of assets into applications that are replicating traditional financial products on decentralized blockchain infrastructure.

Fintech Focus For June 23, 2021

What Happened: Shenzhen-based Bitcoin miner BIT Mining (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/btcm#NYSE">BTCM</a>) has already shipped some of its mining equipment outside China, according to a <a href="https://ir.btc.com/2021-06-21-BIT-Mining-Successfully-Delivers-Mining-Machines-to-Kazakhstan" style="color:#0563c1; text-decoration:underline">press release</a> from the company.
The company reported that 320 mining machines with a capacity of 18.2 PH/s had&nbsp;been delivered to a facility in Kazakhstan, which is expected to be fully operational by June 27.
A second and third batch, totaling 2,600 mining machines with a theoretical maximum total hash rate capacity of 102.3 PH/s, are also expected to be delivered to&nbsp;Kazakhstan&nbsp;before&nbsp;July 1, 202.
Why It Matters: The company&rsquo;s overseas deployment strategy was put into effect after it received a notice from the State Grid Sichuan Ganzi Electric Power supplier notifying them that the power supply would be suspended on June 19.
BIT Mining&rsquo;s Chinese subsidiary was one of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/21/06/21635080/chinas-cryptocurrency-mining-crackdown-intensifies-spreads-to-sichuan" style="color:#0563c1; text-decoration:underline">26 Bitcoin miners</a> that were forcibly shut down by local authorities on Sunday&nbsp;after a government crackdown on crypto mining and trading in the region further intensified.
&quot;We are committed to protecting the environment and lowering our carbon footprint. We have been strategically expanding our operations overseas as part of our growth strategy,&rdquo; commented&nbsp;Xianfeng Yang,&nbsp;CEO of BIT Mining.
&ldquo;Following our investments in cryptocurrency mining data centers in&nbsp;Texas&nbsp;and&nbsp;Kazakhstan, we are accelerating our overseas development for alternative high-quality mining resources,&rdquo; he added.
According to a report from <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/asia_pacific/bitcoin-mining-china-crypto-america/2021/06/17/0a39c3a8-c903-11eb-8708-64991f2acf28_story.html" style="color:#0563c1; text-decoration:underline">The Washington Post</a>, Chinese miners are now focused on expanding to other geographies, including the U.S.
&ldquo;Right now in China, everybody&rsquo;s scared. The question is not whether you pull out, but immediately or gradually,&rdquo; said one miner under the condition of anonymity.
Price Action: Bitcoin was trading at $32,418&nbsp;at the time of writing, up 1,81% from its earlier dip below $30,000.&nbsp;

Chinese Bitcoin Miners Have Already Shipped Equipment To Kazakhstan, Report Shows

Many investors like the allure of small cap stocks. Buying the next Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/aapl#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) or Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/amzn#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) while they&#39;re still in their infancy is every investor&rsquo;s dream.
But investing in small cap stocks can be difficult. Many of them aren&rsquo;t covered by the Wall Street investment firms so it&rsquo;s hard to find research and opinions on them.
Investors who are seeking exposure to this part of the investment universe but don&rsquo;t want the risk of owning individual stocks should consider ETFs. These include the iShares Micro-Cap ETF (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/iwc#NYSE">IWC</a>) and the iShares Russell 2000 ETF (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/iwm#NYSE">IWM</a>).
IWC tracks the Russell Microcap Index. It invests in companies that have a market cap between $50 million and $300 million.

Carl Nassib <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/21/06/21658228/raiders-carl-nassib-becomes-first-active-nfl-player-to-be-openly-gayhttps://www.benzinga.com/news/21/06/21658228/raiders-carl-nassib-becomes-first-active-nfl-player-to-be-openly-gay">made headlines </a>Monday after being the first active NFL player to come out as gay. The Las Vegas Raiders defensive end is also being remembered by some as a &ldquo;financial advisor&rdquo; providing some advice to former teammates.
What Happened: Nassib <a href="https://www.instagram.com/carlnassib/?hl=en">announced</a>&nbsp;he&#39;s gay on his Instagram account: &quot;I&#39;ve been meaning to do this for a while now, but I finally feel comfortable enough to get it off my chest.&quot;
He announced a donation of $100,000 to The Trevor Project, a crisis intervention and suicide prevention organization that works with LGBTQ youth.
Financial Advisor?&nbsp;Nassib was a member of the Cleveland Browns in 2018 when the team was profiled in the series &quot;Hard Knocks.&quot;
&ldquo;Who here knows what compound interest is?&rdquo; Nassib <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uN9WSgeETCo">asked </a>his teammates while appearing in front of a dry erase board.
Nassib told his teammates that financial advisors are everywhere and they&rsquo;ll take money from you, but if you learn how to invest yourself, you can make &ldquo;millions of dollars.&rdquo;
&quot;This is the easiest equation to make you rich,&quot; Nassib said.
Nassib&#39;s equation was 1x1.1x1.1x1.1x1.1x1.1x1.1x1.1 showing that an average gain of 10% annually can double your money in seven years. Nassib said&nbsp;doing this same thing for years could turn $1 million into $64 million.
&ldquo;It&#39;s&nbsp;called interest and it&rsquo;s so easy.&rdquo;
Nassib said you could put money in the bank and not touch it to gain interest on it.

10% Returns: The compounded interest principal has been around for years and is a good benchmark for average returns.
&ldquo;The magic of compounding works best the younger you are because that means you have more time for your money to grow,&rdquo; Jim Cramer once <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/cnbc/17/07/9740432/how-to-double-your-money-in-7-years-according-to-jim-cramer">said</a>.
The easy benchmark and investment for investors to consider is the S&amp;P 500 or the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/spy#NYSE">SPY</a>), which is a common benchmark of the market.
Investing $10,000 in the ETF for four decades and having 10% of annual returns could equal $450,000 over time.
Cramer said waiting seven years to double an investment may be difficult to understand but is &quot;pretty incredible.&quot;
The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF has <a href="https://www.ssga.com/us/en/institutional/etfs/funds/spdr-sp-500-etf-trust-spy">returned </a>14.2% on average annually over the last 10 years. Since the fund&rsquo;s inception, the ETF has posted average yearly gains of 10.4%.
SPY Price Action: The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF is up 13.3% in 2021.

Jan Van Eck, the CEO of asset manager Van Eck Associate, urged the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to approve a&nbsp;Bitcoin&nbsp;(CRYPTO: BTC) exchange-traded fund due to investor demand.
What Happened:&nbsp;According to a Tuesday CNBC&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2021/06/22/investors-want-a-bitcoin-etf-van-eck-ceo-says-after-sec-delays-again.html" target="_blank">report</a>, Van Eck said that the regulator &ldquo;should approve a Bitcoin ETF&rdquo; since &ldquo;the only alternative investors have is a closed-end fund that trades it at a 40% premium or 20% discount.&rdquo;&nbsp;
According to CNBC, he was presumably hinting at the&nbsp;Grayscale Bitcoin Trust&nbsp;(OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/gbtc#OTC">GBTC</a>), known to be often trading at a premium or discount.
Van Eck&rsquo;s comments follow SEC&rsquo;s decision to yet again delay the regulator&rsquo;s decision to approve the VanEck Bitcoin Trust for the second time, requesting comment from interested parties on how this decision could impact markets.
The asset manager&rsquo;s CEO also mentioned Bitcoin futures, claiming that they &ldquo;aren&#39;t&nbsp;any better,&rdquo; adding a futures-based fund &ldquo;underperformed Bitcoin by 22% last year and 8% this year.&rdquo;
What Else: Ric Edelman, the No. 1 registered investment advisor in the United States and the founder of Edelman Financial Engines, also said that integrating Bitcoin into portfolios would &ldquo;be so much easier and simpler if there was a Bitcoin ETF.&rdquo;
At the same time, he admits that investors have to act instead of waiting because &ldquo;by the time the SEC says yes to it, Bitcoin might be $100,000.&rdquo;&nbsp;
Read also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-crypto-etfs/">What Is Crypto ETFs</a><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-crypto-etfs/">?</a>
&ldquo;You&rsquo;re going to miss out, so, you&rsquo;ve got to move on with the investment opportunities that do exist,&rdquo; he concluded.

Wallbox is set to go public with a pro-forma enterprise value of $1.5 billion&nbsp;via special purpose acquisition company (SPAC)&nbsp;Kensington Capital Acquisition Corp II (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/kcac#NYSE">KCAC</a>).
Enric Asunci&oacute;n, CEO of Wallbox and&nbsp;Justin Mirro, chairman and CEO of Kensington Capital Acquisition Corp II,&nbsp;appeared on&nbsp;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X91_hGkUPUo&amp;t=243s">Benzinga&#39;s YouTube show &quot;SPACs Attack&quot;</a>&nbsp;Tuesday for an exclusive interview.&nbsp;
About Wallbox: Wallbox designs, develops and manufactures intelligent charging systems for electric vehicles,&nbsp;Asunci&oacute;n told Benzinga.
The company is one of the fastest-growing companies in the EV charging space, he said,&nbsp;adding that it focuses on both charging and energy management.
The ability to control its own supply chain gives Wallbox a huge advantage over its competition,&nbsp;Asunci&oacute;n said.&nbsp;Wallbox has 45% gross margins which exceed all of its competition, he added.&nbsp;
The company currently sells its products for home, business&nbsp;and public space use in 67 countries, the Wallbox CEO said.&nbsp;
Company Outlook: The infrastructure in the EV space is a focus among governments and individual investors around the world, Mirro said.&nbsp;
Wallbox makes the simplest, safest and most innovative EV chargers for consumers on the market today, he told Benzinga.&nbsp;
The company has world-leading margins and has already been certified by multiple car manufacturers, Mirro said, adding that it won&#39;t be difficult for Wallbox to meet and even exceed its forecasts.
Wallbox aims to be the provider of all-in-one renewable energy solutions with the charger at the center.
SPAC Notes: Wallbox is growing very quickly and the team&nbsp;at Kensington Capital Acquisitions Corp II shared the same vision for Wallbox, so the SPAC route to the public market was&nbsp;the right fit for the company,&nbsp;Asunci&oacute;n noted.
The team at&nbsp;Kensington Capital Acquisition&nbsp;Corp II has a long history in the automotive space,&nbsp;so Wallbox presented&nbsp;a great merger target opportunity, Mirro added.
The merger is expected to close in the third quarter of 2021.&nbsp;
Pending shareholder approval, the&nbsp;combined company will&nbsp;be listed on the New York Stock Exchange as&nbsp;Wallbox and trade&nbsp;under the&nbsp;ticker symbol &quot;WBX&rdquo;.

Bakersfield, California, has earned the sorry spot as the nation&rsquo;s top city for a population desperate to get rid of mosquitos, according to new research from Terminix Global Holdings&nbsp;Inc&nbsp;(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/tmx#NYSE">TMX</a>).
What&rsquo;s The Buzz? Terminix based its rankings on data from Google Trends&nbsp;with a focus on mosquito-related search terms during 2020.
The company then number-crunched this data to determine the locations with the highest proportion of mosquito-related searches compared to city population.
Bakersfield, which gained a level of pop culture awareness as the location of a classic <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=holBS44V5gU">Buck Owens tune</a>, turned up as the top city where residents turned to their search engines to fight off mosquitos. Bakersfield was one of five California cities on the Terminix top 25 list, with Florida leading the nation with six localities full of mosquito-pestered residents.
The full top 25 list consists of the following cities:
<ul>
<li>Bakersfield, California</li>
<li>Jonesboro, Arkansas</li>
<li>Fort Myers, Florida</li>
<li>Washington, D.C.</li>
<li>Joplin, Missouri</li>
<li>Corpus Christi, Texas</li>
<li>Fresno, California</li>
<li>Tampa-St. Petersburg, Florida</li>
<li>Flint, Michigan</li>
<li>Panama City, Florida</li>
<li>Los Angeles, California</li>
<li>Miami-Ft. Lauderdale, Florida</li>
<li>South Bend, Indiana</li>
<li>Lansing, Michigan</li>
<li>Waco, Texas</li>
<li>Jacksonville, Florida</li>
<li>West Palm Beach, Florida</li>
<li>Austin, Texas</li>
<li>Tucson, Arizona</li>
<li>Orlando, Florida</li>
<li>McAllen, Texas</li>
<li>San Antonio, Texas</li>
<li>Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas</li>
<li>Wilmington, North Carolina</li>
<li>San Diego, California</li>
</ul>
Deadly Stings: Terminix noted that mosquito-borne diseases are responsible for more than one million deaths globally each year, including malaria and Zika.
In the U.S., the most common serious diseases transmitted by mosquitos include West Nile virus and encephalitis.
&ldquo;For those concerned about mosquitoes, Terminix offers an effective solution to immediately begin reducing mosquito populations in your outdoor living space,&rdquo; said Dan Baldwin, director of technical services for Terminix.
And if that doesn&rsquo;t convince you, then consider the piano-pounding advice of Liberia&rsquo;s Congresswoman Malinda Parker:

52 Biggest Movers From Yesterday

Novo Integrated Sciences, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVOS#NASDAQ">NVOS</a>) (the &quot;Company&quot; or &quot;Novo Integrated Sciences&quot;), a provider of healthcare related services and products, is pleased to announce the signing of a Share Exchange Agreement, dated May 11, 2021 (the &quot;SEA&quot;), pursuant to which the Company will acquire PRO-DIP, LLC (&quot;PRO-DIP&quot;) in a securities exchange valued at&nbsp;$755,385, or&nbsp;$3.98&nbsp;per share of Novo Integrated Sciences common stock.

Following closing of the exchange, PRO-DIP will be a wholly owned subsidiary of Novo Integrated Sciences. Closing is subject to certain customary closing conditions.

PRO-DIP has developed a proprietary, patent-pending oral pouch that delivers flavorful bursts of vitamins and natural energy supplements through small, semi-permeable sachets placed in the mouth, between the gum and cheek or lip. The initial burst of supplements is followed by extended absorption of the nutrients, providing long-lasting energy, even at high-exertion levels. With its hand-free ease of consumption, the energy-rich pouches are an alternative to traditional sports supplements and deliver a daily serving of natural vitamins and nutrients for the endurance and stamina required during exercise and sports. The invention of the pouch delivery system for nutraceuticals continues to gain mainstream interest from health product manufacturers, medical organizations, big pharma, the military, space organizations, CBD/hemp companies, humanitarian aid groups and the list goes on.

Robert Mattacchione, the Company&#39;s CEO and Board Chairman, stated, &quot;Adding PRO-DIP to the Company&#39;s portfolio is an important event in support of a core philosophical belief of the Company to provide technologies and products focused on preventative healthcare solutions. PRO-DIP&#39;s innovative oral pouch delivery system allows for broad market applications related to nutritionally focused products and medicinal based formulations which further expands our product offering initiatives to both our clinic patient base and to consumers worldwide. With its oral pouch delivery system, PRO-DIP is developing an entire new product category. In addition, PRO-DIP is quickly building an impressive distribution chain, including ADS, Inc., a leading value-added logistics and supply chain solutions provider that proudly serves all branches of the U.S. Military, federal, state and local government organizations, law enforcement agencies, first responders, partner nations and the defense industry.&quot;

Novo Integrated Sciences, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVOS#NASDAQ">NVOS</a>) (the &quot;Company&quot;) is pleased to announce the signing of a Share Exchange Agreement, dated May 28, 2021 (the &quot;SEA&quot;), pursuant to which Novo Healthnet Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (&quot;NHL&quot;) will acquire Acenzia Inc., which is in the business of providing nutraceutical health solutions through advanced bio-science research and development, proprietary manufacturing, and personalized diagnostics. In addition, Acenzia has developed a multiple international jurisdiction patented technology platform, using zebra fish, which enables rapid analysis of cancer cells, offering cancer patients and their healthcare providers prediction of early metastasis and drug sensitivity thereby providing important information for diagnosis and treatment.

The all-share transaction is valued at&nbsp;$14,884,039&nbsp;subject to adjustment as provided for in the SEA. Upon closing the share exchange, Acenzia will be a wholly owned subsidiary of NHL and the Acenzia shareholders will receive NHL non-voting exchangeable preferred shares issued solely for the purpose to exchange for allotted restricted shares of the Company&#39;s common stock at a per share price of&nbsp;$3.91.

Robert Mattacchione, the Company&#39;s CEO and Board Chairman, stated, &quot;There are three primary pillars in support of Novo&#39;s business model centered on decentralized healthcare. The first pillar is building a foundation of traditional hands-on healthcare delivery, through small and micro footprint sized clinic facilities, within a significant service delivery network. The second pillar is the development, integration, and deployment of sophisticated technology, through interconnectivity, which expands the reach of healthcare related service, beyond the traditional clinic location, to geographic areas not readily providing advanced healthcare service to date, including the patient&#39;s home. The signing of the Acenzia SEA brings Novo imminently closer to solidifying control of the third pillar, which is the development and distribution of effective wellness product solutions allowing for the customization of patient preventative care remedies and ultimately a healthier population. Additionally, Acenzia&#39;s science first approach to product innovation further emphasizes Novo&#39;s mandate to create and provide over-the-counter preventative and maintenance care solutions. Innovation in science as represented by the proprietary technology possessed by Acenzia assures Novo of continued cutting edge advancement in patient first platforms.&quot;

Acenzia&#39;s 36,000 square foot facility is located in Windsor Ontario Canada and includes Class 100 pharmaceutical grade cleanrooms and certified laboratories from which Acenzia creates and manufactures evidenced-based dietary, nutraceutical, and food products that can be validated through personalized diagnostics.

In addition, Acenzia maintains multiple third-party licenses including from the National Sanitation Foundation International (NSF) for meeting the required public health standards for manufacturing food, nutrition, and supplements.
