The White House has refuted Republican claims of Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) funds mismanagement following Hurricane Helene.
What Happened: On Friday, Andrew Bates, the senior deputy press secretary, issued a memo accusing Republicans of propagating &#8220;bald-faced lies&#8221; about the post-Hurricane Helene cleanup efforts, <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/4916014-federal-response-criticized/">reported</a> The Hill.
Republicans, including former President Donald Trump, have claimed&nbsp;that disaster relief funding was&nbsp;spent on migrants, criticizing the administration&#8217;s hurricane response.
Bates denied these allegations, saying, &#8220;No disaster relief funding at all was used to support migrants housing and services. None. At. All.&#8221;

He stated that Congress appropriates the funding for migrant support to Customs &amp; Border Protection, and FEMA merely administers it.
Bates also noted&nbsp;that FEMA has already provided&nbsp;over&nbsp;$45 million in direct financial&nbsp;assistance to individuals and families&nbsp;affected by the storm. He cautioned against the potential harm of spreading false information, especially&nbsp;when people are in need.
On the same day, FEMA also released a fact-checking page, confirming that &#8220;no money has been diverted&#8221; and that it has sufficient funds&nbsp;for immediate response and recovery&nbsp;needs.
Why It Matters: Hurricane Helene, which hit on Sept. 26, caused significant damage and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41126631/hurricane-helene-devastation-the-latest-on-damage-companies-affected">left nearly 800,000 people</a> without power. The storm claimed more than 130 lives and caused widespread power outages, affecting over two million customers of Duke Energy Corp.
As a result of the hurricane, there was a surge in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41145534/hurricane-helene-adds-to-most-active-quarter-for-power-outages-driving-back-up-gene">demand for backup and portable</a> power generators.
President Joe Biden has urged Congress to reconvene from recess to approve more funding for recovery efforts, though lawmakers aren't scheduled to return until Nov. 12.
His administration has already sent over 4,800 federal personnel to aid in the response, and the president has authorized the deployment of up to 1,000 troops to assist with North Carolina's recovery, the report noted.
Biden visited North Carolina on Wednesday, followed by trips to Florida and Georgia on Thursday to assess the damage and meet with local leaders.
Previously, Republican presidential nominee Trump allegedly took credit for the deployment of Elon Musk-led Starlink satellites to aid communication restoration in areas affected by Hurricane Helene.
However, FEMA contradicted his statement, saying that the decision was already in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41110218/trump-says-he-spoke-with-elon-musk-for-starlink-deployment-to-aid-hurricane-helene-affected-areas-bu">place before Trump's alleged</a> involvement.

White House Counters GOP Accusations Of FEMA Funds Misuse, Denies Disaster Relief Funding Was Used For Migrant Housing: 'Bald-Faced Lies'

Chinese electric vehicle startup Nio Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NIO#NYSE">NIO</a>) announced late Friday that it has struck a partnership with one of its strategic investors to foray into the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/06/39213251/asia-mena-gaming-markets-reach-85-5b-in-2023-see-future-projections">Middle East and North Africa</a>.
What Happened: Nio has tied up with Abu Dhabi-based CYVN Holdings to launch the Nio MENA in a bid to launch Nio-branded vehicles and vehicles from its subsidiary in the region, the Shanghai-based company said in a statement. This, according to the company, will expand its footprint and integrate further into the &#8220;global smart EV ecosystem.&#8221;
CYVN Holdings will support Nio with strategic investments for the expansion, which will start with UAE.
The company also plans to establish a state-of-the-art R&amp;D center in Abu Dhabi, the capital city of UAE. This center will focus on &#8220;autonomous driving and artificial intelligence advancements, reinforcing NIO's global R&amp;D capabilities and fostering technological innovation in the MENA region.&#8221;
Nio and CYVN Holdings plan to collaborate on a new EV project that will involve research, manufacturing, and future product launches. The EV startup would also work with its partners in Egypt to expand EV manufacturing in the country.
In <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/23/12/36281426/nio-stock-up-premarket-after-securing-2-2b-strategic-investment" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">December Nio closed a $2.2 billion equity investment from</a>&nbsp;CYVN Investments RSC Ltd.
 Jassem Mohamed Obaid Bu Ataba Alzaabi, Chairman of CYVN Holdings, said, &#8220;This partnership is a testament to our mutual commitment to fostering the strength of our strategic collaborations and achieving transformative goals in the smart mobility sector.&#8221;
Nio&#8217;s founder, Chairman and CEO William Li said, &#8220;Our collaboration with CYVN Holdings is a cornerstone in our strategy to enhance global accessibility to smart electric vehicles and to push the boundaries of technological innovation.&#8221;

Why It&#8217;s Important: Nio is a manufacturer of premium EVs and it has recently entered the low-end of the market with its Onvo brand. Deliveries of the first vehicle launched by the sub-brand, codenamed&nbsp;L60, began in late September, and early uptake has been fairly strong.
This week, Nio reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41114350/chinese-ev-trio-nio-xpeng-li-auto-surge-higher-in-tuesdays-premarket-whats-going-on">strong September and record third-quarter deliveries</a> despite the tough domestic EV market conditions marked by lackluster demand and cutthroat competition. 
In late-September, the company said a trio of domestic strategic investors agreed to invest an aggregate of 3.3 billion yuan ($470.64 million) in cash in its subsidiary Nio China. Nio on its part said it would invest 10 billion yuan (about $1.43 billion) in cash to subscribe to the newly issued shares of Nio China.&nbsp;The latest investments would infuse the much-needed financing to pursue it expansion both in China and overseas. 
Nio&#8217;s prospects in China also appear bright, given China has decided to copiously stimulate the domestic economy, potentially arming consumers with the much-needed cash to splurge.
The company currently sells EVs in European countries such as Norway, Sweden, Germany, and the Netherlands. The MENA partnership comes as the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41182675/tesla-byd-and-other-ev-stocks-to-watch-as-eu-votes-to-approve-tariffs-on-chinese-ev-imports">European Commission has voted in favor of up to 45% tariffs on imported Chinese EVs.</a>
Price Action: Nio ended Friday&#8217;s session up 1.04% at $6.77, according to <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro data.</a>

Tesla Rival Nio Accelerates Global Expansion, To Launch EVs in Middle East Amid EU Tariff Concerns

Democratic Presidential nominee Kamala Harris has reportedly engaged with Arab American and Muslim leaders in Flint, Michigan, amid rising tensions over <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39562547/us-has-sent-thousands-of-hellfire-missiles-and-2-000-pound-bombs-to-israel-amid-ongoing-war-with-ham">U.S. support for Israel&#8217;s conflicts</a> in Gaza and Lebanon.
What Happened: On Friday, Harris met with representatives from Emgage Action,&nbsp;the American Task Force on&nbsp;Lebanon, and long-time associate Hala Hijazi, reported Reuters, citing two sources.
The meeting is part of a broader effort to reconnect&nbsp;with Muslim and Arab voters,&nbsp;who were instrumental in securing a Democrat win in 2020 but may reconsider their support for Harris in the next election.
Harris addressed the upcoming election and the ongoing Middle East conflicts&nbsp;during the meeting.
She expressed&nbsp;concern over the&nbsp;suffering in Gaza, civilian casualties, and displacement in Lebanon,&nbsp;and discussed efforts to end&nbsp;the war and prevent a regional conflict, the report noted.
See Also:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41135574/elon-musk-comments-on-jd-vance-tim-walz-debate-after-user-favors-them-over-trump-and-harris-they-wer?itm_source=parsely-api" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Elon Musk Comments On JD Vance-Tim Walz Debate After User Favors Them Over Trump And Harris: &#8216;They Were Civil&#8217;</a>
Wa&#8217;el Alzayat, CEO of Emgage&nbsp;Action, said they &#8220;asked Vice President Harris to impress upon President Biden the urgency of bringing an immediate end to the violence&#8221; in Gaza and Lebanon.
However, some Arab Americans believe Harris&#8217; reluctance&nbsp;to distance herself from President&nbsp;Biden&#8217;s Middle East policies could cost her in the upcoming election.
A recent poll&nbsp;by the Arab American Institute&nbsp;found Harris and Trump at&nbsp;roughly even levels of support&nbsp;among Arab Americans.
Why It Matters: The meeting comes amidst a backdrop of escalating tensions in the Middle East.
Last month, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40920151/china-slams-us-for-shielding-israel-blocking-gaza-ceasefire-efforts-as-war-nears-1-year">China accused the U.S.</a> of shielding Israel and obstructing ceasefire efforts in the Gaza conflict. &#8220;Had the US not shielded one side time and again, multiple resolutions of this council would not have been flagrantly rejected and defied.&#8221;
Later that month,&nbsp;senior U.S. officials <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40955425/top-us-officials-skeptical-of-israel-hamas-cease-fire-and-hostage-deal-before-bidens-term-ends-repor">expressed skepticism about a ceasefire</a> and hostage-release deal between Israel and Hamas.
Meanwhile, Israel continued its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/09/41056542/israel-plans-to-disrupt-arms-delivery-from-iran-to-lebanon-in-motion-as-palestinian-president-cr">military operations in Lebanon and Gaza</a>.
Earlier in the year, Harris had urged Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to help establish a Gaza ceasefire, a move that was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40417063/trump-says-he-encouraged-netanyahu-to-end-gaza-war-while-critizing-kamala-harris-for-demanding-cease">later criticized by</a> Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.
&#8220;I will give Israel the support that it needs to win but I do want them to win fast,&#8221; Trump reportedly said in August.

Here's How Much You Would Have Made Owning Tesla Stock In The Last 10 Years

The phrase "the one percent" gets tossed around a lot in conversations about wealth and inequality, whether in politics, protests, or everyday chats. But what does it mean to be in the top 1%? Let's break it down by income and net worth to get a clearer picture of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/09/40711869/how-rich-are-you-heres-the-net-worth-that-defines-upper-middle-and-lower-class">who's part of this exclusive group.</a>

</ul>
What Income Puts You in the Top 1%?
To be in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/07/39652328/your-income-might-be-upper-class-and-you-dont-know-it-heres-the-salary-needed-to-reach-elite-sta">top 1% of earners</a> in the U.S., a household must bring in at least $591,550 a year. For a single individual, the cutoff is $407,500. Remember, these numbers are averages and can vary depending on where you live. For example, earning that much in New York City might not stretch as far as it does in other parts of the country.
The Top 1% by Net Worth
When it comes to net worth, the threshold is even higher. To be part of the top 1% in the U.S., a household's net worth needs to be at least $13.6 million. This measure includes everything you own – homes, investments, savings – minus debts.
Wealth tends to be a lot more unevenly distributed than income. Many households have little to no net worth, while the top tier sits on massive wealth. That's why net worth often gives a clearer picture of someone's financial status than income alone.
Trending: Beating the market through ethical real estate investing' — t<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/invest-with-roots">his platform aims to give tenants equity in the homes they live in while scoring 17.17% average annual returns for investors – here&#8217;s how to join with just $100</a>
Income vs. Net Worth: Which Tells the Real Story?
So, which is more important, income or net worth? It depends on what you're trying to measure. Income is great for understanding how much someone earns in a year, but net worth is the better gauge for long-term financial stability and overall wealth. Someone with a high income might not have a high net worth if they spend a lot or have significant debt, while someone with a lower income but solid investments could be much wealthier.
How Many People Are in the 1%?
As of the latest numbers, there are around 1.3 million households and about 1.8 million individual workers who fall into the top 1% in the U.S. That's a small slice of the population but represents a significant share of the country's wealth and income.
Trending: Commercial real estate has historically outperformed the stock market, and<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/marcus-millichap-backed-platform-makes-it-easy-to-invest-in-real-estate"> this platform allows individuals to invest in commercial real estate with as little as $5,000 offering a 12% target yield with a bonus 1% return boost today!</a>
State-by-State Variations
The income required to be in the top 1% varies significantly across states. For example:
<ul>
<li>Connecticut has the highest threshold at $952,902</li>
<li>Massachusetts follows at $903,401</li>
<li>California comes in third at $844,266</li>
<li>On the lower end, Mississippi has a threshold of just $254,362</li>

Maybe you're not in the top 1%, or maybe you are – everyone's situation is different.

Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) today experienced a Power Inflow, a significant event for those who follow where smart money goes and value order flow analytics in their trading decisions.&nbsp;
Today, at 10:37AM on October 4th, a significant trading signal occurred for Meta Platforms Inc. as it demonstrated a Power Inflow at a price of $582.40. This indicator is crucial for traders who want to know directionally where institutions and so-called "smart money" moves in the market. They see the value of utilizing order flow analytics to guide their trading decisions. The Power Inflow points to a possible uptrend in Meta&#8217;s stock, marking a potential entry point for traders looking to capitalize on the expected upward movement. Traders with this signal closely watch for sustained momentum in Meta&#8217;s stock price, interpreting this event as a bullish sign.
Signal description
Order flow analytics, aka transaction or market flow analysis, separate and study both the retail and institutional volume rate of orders (flow). It involves analyzing the flow of buy and sell orders, along with size, timing, and other associated characteristics and patterns, to gain insights and make more informed trading decisions. This particular indicator is interpreted as a bullish signal by active traders.&nbsp;
The Power Inflow occurs within the first two hours of the market open and generally signals the trend that helps gauge the stock&#8217;s overall direction, powered by institutional activity in the stock, for the remainder of the day.&nbsp;
By incorporating order flow analytics into their trading strategies, market participants can better interpret market conditions, identify trading opportunities, and potentially improve their trading performance. But let's not forget that while watching smart money flow can provide valuable insights, it is crucial to incorporate effective risk management strategies to protect capital and mitigate potential losses. Employing a consistent and effective risk management plan helps traders navigate the uncertainties of the market in a more controlled and calculated manner, increasing the likelihood of long-term success

The Analyst Verdict: American Intl Gr In The Eyes Of 12 Experts

The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) is holding firm on its stance that medical marijuana users should not allowed to own a gun, citing safety risks.
In a recent filing, federal attorneys argued that the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/06/39488414/cannabis-guns-kentucky-2nd-amendment-meet-the-atf-if-you-say-yes-to-medical-marijuana-the-answer">ban on gun ownership</a> for cannabis users is constitutional and should remain in place. 
This aligns with federal regulations barring gun access for individuals considered potentially dangerous, such as those who are mentally ill or under the influence, <a href="https://www.marijuanamoment.net/doj-says-allowing-a-pennsylvania-prosecutor-who-uses-medical-marijuana-to-possess-a-gun-would-be-dangerous/">reported</a> Marijuana Moment.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Pennsylvania Prosecutor Challenges Federal Gun Ban</h3>
This filing responds to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/01/36750779/guns-and-weed-conflict-heats-up-pennsylvania-da-sues-feds-over-firearms-ban-for-medical-marijuan">a lawsuit</a> by Robert Greene, the District Attorney of Warren County, Pennsylvania, who is a registered medical marijuana patient. Along with the Second Amendment Foundation, Greene filed suit against the DOJ, Attorney General Merrick Garland and other federal agencies, arguing that the ban infringes on his right to bear arms for self-defense.
The DOJ&#8217;s filing, submitted to the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania, seeks to dismiss Greene&#8217;s suit. 
"Marijuana's physical and mental effects impair a person's judgment, including judgment about whether to use firearms," it says.
The next step for Robert Greene's case involves a federal court decision on his request for a preliminary injunction.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Contradictory Ruling In Texas Gun &amp; Cannabis Rights Case</h3>
Greene's case is not the only legal battle on this issue. In a separate case, the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that cannabis users cannot be barred from owning firearms.
The ruling arose from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/08/40655441/cannabis-users-cannot-be-barred-from-gun-ownership-u-s-appeals-court-rules">the case</a> of Paola Connelly, a Texas resident whose right to bear arms was upheld despite her past marijuana use. "Marijuana user or not, Paola is a member of our political community and thus has a presumptive right to bear arms," U.S. Circuit Judge Kurt Engelhardt ruled.
The decision is significant because it aligns with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/23/08/33719970/federal-court-strikes-down-gun-prohibition-for-cannabis-users-as-unconstitutional">a 2022 Supreme Court</a> decision stating that firearm laws should reflect historical gun ownership traditions.
While the DOJ has not commented on this ruling, it raises questions about how the federal government will address gun ownership rights among the millions of legal cannabis users nationwide.

NET Power Says Payments For Long-lead Materials Under Original Letter Of Limited Notice To Proceed Commenced In December 2023; Remainder Of Payments Under LNTP Are Expected To Continue To Be Made Through April 2026

&#8220;We've seen this movie before,&#8221; Al Harrington says in an exclusive interview with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/cannabis">Benzinga Cannabis</a>, displaying the conviction of someone who's lived through the consequences of history. The former NBA player turned cannabis entrepreneur knows all too well how power structures have shaped — and dismantled — opportunities for communities of color. As we delve into the war on drugs and its enduring effects, Harrington's stance is clear. The criminalization of cannabis wasn't about safety; it was about control.
The people who once faced incarceration for cannabis possession are now fighting for a seat at the table in an industry generating billions. &#8220;At one point, the lottery was illegal, alcohol was illegal, but what's really unique is when you do your research, people of color started all those industries as well and have no ownership in it,&#8221; Harrington reflects. He's determined to ensure history doesn't repeat itself in the cannabis space.
Harrington's mission is rooted in advocacy. &#8220;We've seen this movie before,&#8221; he continues, &#8220;and that's what inspired me to be a crusader, trying to make sure we don't forget the people that really created this industry.&#8221; His focus is clear: inclusion for communities of color, particularly those harmed by the war on drugs, and the opportunity to build generational wealth.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Nixon's Ignorance And Corporate Interests</h3>
The war on drugs was largely shaped by former U.S. President Richard Nixon, whose administration spearheaded aggressive criminalization policies. Recently resurfaced <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/09/40869408/richard-nixon-secretly-admitted-marijuana-is-not-particularly-dangerous-new-tapes-reveal">comments revealed that Nixon didn't even consider marijuana particularly dangerous</a>. Harrington reacts to this revelation with a sense of incredulity. &#8220;It was obviously ignorance,&#8221; he says.
Harrington highlights the political forces that may have influenced Nixon&#8217;s policies. &#8220;A lot of decisions that are made by people like that are usually influenced by others,&#8221; he explains. Industries like paper and lumber, threatened by the versatility of hemp, likely played a role in cannabis becoming a Schedule I drug, ranked alongside heroin and cocaine. &#8220;At that time, people paid less on their taxes if they produced hemp,&#8221; Harrington said. &#8220;And then it becomes a Schedule I drug with heroin and cocaine — that doesn't even make sense.&#8221;
For Harrington, the criminalization of cannabis is a prime example of how the system has worked against communities of color. He's well aware of how prohibition has kept Black and Brown people out of the cannabis industry, an industry they were once heavily involved in—illegally. But legalization brings a chance to rectify those wrongs. &#8220;We don't forget the people that were mostly harmed and negatively affected by it, and making sure as all these billions of dollars are gonna be made, that we at least have the opportunity for this generational wealth just like our counterparts,&#8221; he told Benzinga.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Pressure From Big Pharma And Corporate Giants</h3>
As our conversation shifts to the role of interest groups and Big Pharma in the cannabis space, Harrington acknowledges the challenges ahead. With over a decade of experience in the industry, he's seen the changing dynamics as federal legalization becomes a looming reality. However, Harrington notes that he hasn't personally felt pressure from these groups. &#8220;I haven't felt any of the pressure from any of those groups,&#8221; suggesting that his platform may have insulated him from some corporate tactics.
Still, Harrington is not naive about the interests at play. He recognizes that pharmaceutical companies face challenges with cannabis, largely due to its natural growth cycle. &#8220;Cannabis takes four months to grow, no matter how you look at it,&#8221; he explains, contrasting it with the rapid production of pharmaceutical drugs. &#8220;These other drugs they make, it takes seconds.&#8221;
Despite these challenges, Harrington believes Big Pharma is closely watching the cannabis space, and when federal legalization arrives, it will move aggressively. &#8220;They're gonna buy in as soon as it's federally legal,&#8221; he predicts. &#8220;They're just waiting for that time, and then they're gonna come in like gangbusters, buying up everything.&#8221;
Harrington remains committed to fighting for the integrity of the plant. &#8220;We want to continue to fight to keep it as authentic and natural and organic as possible because this plant is supposed to grow in the sun, not in a lab.&#8221; For him, cannabis is more than a commodity, it&#8217;s a cultural and medicinal symbol that has deep roots in marginalized communities.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Protecting Cannabis For The Future</h3>
For Harrington, the fight against corporate interests is about more than just business—it's about protecting the integrity of the cannabis plant and ensuring that those who have been in the industry for the right reasons don&#8217;t get pushed out by large corporations. &#8220;I don't think that it can really capture all the benefits unless it's in that state,&#8221; he says, emphasizing the importance of growing cannabis under natural conditions.
Harrington's dedication to the plant, combined with his drive to create opportunities for communities of color, positions him as both an advocate and protector of what cannabis should be. As the industry continues to evolve, with federal legalization on the horizon, Harrington's focus remains clear: he's not just building a business; he's building a legacy. And for him, that legacy is about much more than money. It's about ensuring that the people who have been marginalized by the war on drugs have a stake in the industry's future—and that cannabis remains a force for healing, empowerment and equity.

사이버 보안 기업인 크라우드스트라이크(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRWD#NASDAQ">CRWD</a>)는 회사의 업데이트가 마이크로소프트(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) 제품에 영향을 미치고 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39861744/microsoft-outage-what-states-services-companies-saw-the-blue-screen-of-death" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">전 세계 여러 주요 부문</a>에서 중단을 초래한 후 금요일 두 자리 수의 주가 손실을 겪었다.
두 명의 저명한 인물을 포함하여 여러 의회 의원들이 크라우드스트라이크의 지분을 소유하고 있다.
어떤 일이 (What Happened): 마이크로소프트의 장애로 인해 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/07/39854612/windows-pcs-crash-worldwide-with-users-experiencing-blue-screen-of-death-issue-crowdstrike-updat">금요일에 대규모 중단</a>이 발생했다. 또한 이번 장애로 투자자들이 잠재적인 단기 및 장기 영향에 무게를 두면서 크라우드스트라이크의 주가가 11% 급락했다.
크라우드스트라이크의 주가는 금요일 38.09달러 하락한 303.96달러에 마감되었다. 아래 <a href="http://www.benzinga.com/pro/register/?utm_source=BZprocontent071924&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1">Benzinga Pro의 차트</a>에서 볼 수 있듯이 낮 동안 주식은 290.10달러에서 316.75달러 사이에 거래되었다.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="http://www.benzinga.com/pro/register/?utm_source=BZprocontent071924&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-446751" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/19172052/Screenshot-73.png" sizes="(max-width: 999px) 100vw, 999px" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/19172052/Screenshot-73.png 999w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/19172052/Screenshot-73-300x153.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/19172052/Screenshot-73-768x391.png 768w" alt="" width="999" height="508" /></a></figure>
크라우드스트라이크 주식의 많은 보유자들 중에는 낸시 펠로시(민주-캘리포니아) 하원의원과 마조리 테일러 그린(공화-조지아) 하원의원이 있다.
그린은 최근 6월에 1,000~15,000달러 상당의 크라우드스트라이크 주식을 매입했다고 공개했다. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/gov-trades/securities/CRWD">Benzinga의 정부 거래 페이지</a>에 따르면 구매는 6월 24일에 이루어졌다.
6월 24일 374.00~381.76달러의 가격을 기준으로 그린은 크라우드스트라이크의 2.62~40.11주를 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/07/39585140/marjorie-taylor-greene-buys-cybersecurity-stock-owned-by-nancy-pelosi-why-trade-could-draw-red-f" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">매입했을 수</a> 있다.
이는 그린이 금요일에 99.80달러에서 1,527.79달러 사이의 손실을 입을 가능성이 있음을 의미한다.
반면 펠로시는 금요일에 훨씬 더 큰 손실을 입었다. 전 하원의장은 2020년 9월 3일 50만 달러에서 100만 달러 상당의 주식 5,000주를 매입했다. 제출 서류에 따르면 펠로시는 아직 크라우드스트라이크의 주식을 매도하지 않았다.
금요일에 펠로시는 크라우드스트라이크 지분에서 190,450달러를 잃었다. 그녀는 2020년에 주식이 약 129.95달러였던 시점에 그 주식을 샀다. 펠로시는 이후 여전히 130% 이상 상승세를 유지하고 있다.

중요성 (Why It&#8217;s Important): 그린과 펠로시는 모두 같은 주식에 투자하여 헤드라인을 장식했지만 그린의 최근 인수는 몇 가지 위험 신호를 불러일으켰다. 도널드 트럼프의 동맹자인 그린은 하원 감독 및 책임 위원회 산하 사이버 보안, 정보 기술 및 정부 혁신 소위원회의 위원인 것으로 밝혀졌다.
이 소위원회 위원으로서 그린은 정부 계약, 사이버 보안 부문에 대한 향후 자금 조달 및 국가 정부가 우려하는 위반에 대한 세부 정보에 대해 직접적인 지식을 가질 수 있다.

Series Portfolios Trust Unusual Whales Subversive Republican Trading ETF(BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KRUZ#BATS">KRUZ</a>) 및 Series Portfolios Trust Unusual Whales Subversive Democratic Trading ETF(BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NANC#BATS">NANC</a>)는 각각 공화당 의원과 민주당 의원의 활동을 추적한다. 의회 의원들의 거래를 금지하려는 노력이 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/07/39714096/senators-announce-historic-step-forward-on-congressional-stock-trading-ban" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">곧 의회를 통해</a> 이루어질 수 있다.
