<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Nvidia As An Indicator</strong></h4>
<p>Please <a href="https://thearorareport.com/chart-analysis-stock-trump-hopium-nvidia-indicator-china-stimulus-nvda-mc-11082024">click here</a> for an enlarged chart of <strong>NVIDIA Corp</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>).</p>
<p>Note the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>This article is about the big picture, not an individual stock.&nbsp; The chart of NVDA stock is being used to illustrate the point.</li>
<li>The chart shows that NVDA has broken out.</li>
<li>RSI on the chart shows that NVDA has room to run.</li>
<li>Nvidia will report earnings on Nov. 20 after the market close.&nbsp; Historically, NVDA stocks sees heavy buying before earnings. As full disclosure, in addition to the core position in NVDA, which is long from $12.55, The Arora Report also has a trade around position in NVDA in The Arora Report&#8217;s ZYX Buy.</li>
<li>The chart shows the top support zone.&nbsp; This top support zone is very significant as an indicator for the entire market, not just NVDA stock.</li>
<li>For the time being, as a simple short cut, investors can use Nvidia as an indicator.&nbsp; As long as NVDA stock does not break below the top support zone, investors' stance towards the stock market should be bullish.&nbsp; The short cut is helpful but consider relying on the highly sophisticated, adaptive, <a href="https://thearorareport.com/ALLOCATION%2BMODELS.htm">ZYX Asset Allocation Model </a>with inputs in 10 categories.</li>
<li><strong>The Arora Report call is to scale in by buying stocks and ETF's, not just NVDA, as they dip in the buy zones until a time when Trump hopium comes close to meeting reality.</strong></li>
<li><strong>In The Arora Report analysis, the time to take profits will be just before the Trump hopium comes close to meeting reality.&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></li>
<li>The stock market is moving based on the difference between Wall Street positioning going into the election and the election result.&nbsp; In The Arora Report analysis, the main cause of the rip roaring rally after the election is two-fold:
<ul>
<li><strong>Wall Street was not positioned for the margin of Trump's victory.</strong></li>
<li>Wall Street was not positioned for a potential red sweep.&nbsp; As of this writing, there is a high probability of a red sweep, but it is not yet confirmed.&nbsp; A red sweep will take place if Republicans take control of the House.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Based on anecdotal evidence, it is difficult for many investors to put their arms around the current rally and The Arora Report's call to buy the dips.&nbsp; </li>
<li>In the early trade, the Trump rally is taking a breather for two reasons:
<ul>
<li>Investors' disappointment from China stimulus first impacted Asian markets, then moved to Europe, and now to the U.S.&nbsp; See the section below for details.</li>
<li>In the very very short term, the stock market is overbought.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>The University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment &#8211; Prelim will be released at 10am ET.&nbsp; It may be market moving.</li>
<li><strong>In The Arora Report analysis, consumer sentiment has moved up significantly after Trump's election.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></li>
</ul>
<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Big China Stimulus</strong></h4>
<p>China has announced a big stimulus of $1.4T.&nbsp; The stimulus will provide swaps for debt ridden local governments' off balance sheet liabilities.&nbsp; The size of the stimulus is greater than the consensus.&nbsp; For this reason, it should have been positive, but<strong> in The Arora Report analysis, investors are reacting negatively because the stimulus did not include any fiscal measures to boost the economy.&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>
<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Magnificent Seven Money Flows</strong></h4>
<p>In the early trade, money flows are neutral in <strong>Apple Inc </strong>(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) and <strong>Tesla Inc</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>).</p>
<p>In the early trade, money flows are negative in <strong>Amazon.com, Inc.</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), <strong>Alphabet Inc Class C</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>), <strong>Meta Platforms Inc</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), <strong>Microsoft Corp </strong>(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), and NVDA.</p>
<p>In the early trade, money flows are negative in <strong>SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) and <strong>Invesco QQQ Trust Series 1</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>).</p>
<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Momo Crowd And Smart Money In Stocks</strong></h4>
<p>Investors can gain an edge by knowing money flows in SPY and QQQ.&nbsp; Investors can get a bigger edge by knowing when smart money is buying stocks, gold, and oil.&nbsp; The most popular ETF for gold is <strong>SPDR Gold Trust</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLD#NYSE">GLD</a>).&nbsp; The most popular ETF for silver is <strong>iShares Silver Trust </strong>(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SLV#NYSE">SLV</a>).&nbsp; The most popular ETF for oil is <strong>United States Oil ETF</strong> (ASCA:USO).</p>
<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Bitcoin</strong></h4>
<p><strong>Bitcoin</strong> (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) is being bought on hope that whales will take advantage of low liquidity during the weekend to run bitcoin up over $80,000.</p>
<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Protection Band And What To Do Now</strong></h4>
<p>It is important for investors to look ahead and not in the rearview mirror.  The proprietary protection band from The Arora Report is very popular.  The protection band puts all of the data, all of the indicators, all of the news, all of the crosscurrents, all of the models, and all of the analysis in an analytical framework that is easily actionable by investors.</p>
<p>Consider continuing to hold good, very long term, existing positions. Based on individual risk preference, consider a protection band consisting of cash or Treasury bills or short-term tactical trades as well as short to medium term hedges and short term hedges. This is a good way to protect yourself and participate in the upside at the same time.</p>
<p>You can determine your protection bands by adding cash to hedges.&nbsp; The high band of the protection is appropriate for those who are older or conservative. The low band of the protection is appropriate for those who are younger or aggressive.&nbsp; If you do not hedge, the total cash level should be more than stated above but significantly less than cash plus hedges.</p>
<p>A protection band of 0% would be very bullish and would indicate full investment with 0% in cash.&nbsp; A protection band of 100% would be very bearish and would indicate a need for aggressive protection with cash and hedges or aggressive short selling.</p>
<p><strong>It is worth reminding that you cannot take advantage of new upcoming opportunities if you are not holding enough cash.&nbsp; </strong>When adjusting hedge levels, consider adjusting partial stop quantities for stock positions (non ETF); consider using wider stops on remaining quantities and also allowing more room for high beta stocks.&nbsp; High beta stocks are the ones that move more than the market.</p>
<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Traditional 60/40 Portfolio</strong></h4>
<p>Probability based risk reward adjusted for inflation does not favor long duration strategic bond allocation at this time.</p>
<p>Those who want to stick to traditional 60% allocation to stocks and 40% to bonds may consider focusing on only high quality bonds and bonds of five year duration or less.&nbsp; Those willing to bring sophistication to their investing may consider using bond ETFs as tactical positions and not strategic positions at this time.</p>
<p><strong>The Arora Report is known for its accurate calls. The Arora Report correctly called the big artificial intelligence rally before anyone else, the new bull market of 2023, the bear market of 2022, new stock market highs right after the virus low in 2020, the virus drop in 2020, the DJIA rally to 30,000 when it was trading at 16,000, the start of a mega bull market in 2009, and the financial crash of 2008.

<p><strong>Palantir Technologies Inc.</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>) shares are trading higher Friday after climbing new highs during the week. Here&#8217;s what <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/PLTR/news">you need to know.</a></p>
<p><strong>The Details:</strong> On Monday, Palantir <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/11/41730179/palantir-q3-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-beat-customers-up-39-raises-guidance-results-driven-by-unrele">reported third-quarter revenue</a> of $725.52 million, surpassing the $701.13 million estimate and earnings per share of 6 cents, beating expectations of 4 cents. Total revenue rose 30% year-over-year, with U.S. commercial revenue up 54% and U.S. government revenue up 40%. CEO<strong> Alex Karp</strong> added that the company's growth is "driven by unrelenting AI demand that won't slow down."</p>
<p>Shares<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/11/41746288/palantir-stock-is-hitting-new-highs-whats-going-on"> continued to rise </a>after some analysts commented on Palantir's expanding U.S. customer base and AI product demand. Analysts at Wedbush, Mizuho and DA Davidson all raised their price targets, with Wedbush's Dan Ives citing Palantir's "robust" results and AI expansion. </p>
<p>The stock hit another all-time high on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/11/41782430/palantir-shares-are-hitting-new-highs-on-wednesday-whats-going-on">Wednesday </a>after Donald Trump's presidential win sparked market optimism on potential policy shifts, which could favor defense and AI sectors. Palantir, up 25% over the past week, was seen as a potential beneficiary of a Trump administration&#8217;s defense and intelligence priorities.</p>
<p>Palantir shares also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41808861/whats-going-on-with-palantir-stock-thursday">faced early pressure</a> after Jefferies downgraded the stock from Hold to Underperform, citing valuation concerns. However, the stock bounced back intraday Thursday after Palantir announced a partnership with Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Anthropic to bring advanced AI capabilities to U.S. defense and intelligence agencies. The partnership will integrate Anthropic&#8217;s Claude AI models into Palantir's AI Platform for secure government use.</p>
<p><strong>PLTR Price Action: </strong>Palantir shares were up 3.42% at $58.30 at the time of writing, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro.</a></p>

Looking At Fair Isaac's Recent Unusual Options Activity

<p><strong>SolarEdge Technologies, Inc. </strong>(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SEDG#NASDAQ">SEDG</a>) reported worse-than-expected third-quarter results on Wednesday and analysts are weighing in on what is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/11/41806208/solaredges-tough-q3-revenue-miss-multi-billion-impairment-bleak-forecast-more">next for the company. </a></p>
<p><strong>Truist on SEDG: </strong>Truist analyst <strong>Jordan Levy </strong>highlighted prior commentary from <strong>Enphase Energy, Inc. </strong>(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ENPH#NASDAQ">ENPH</a>) on weakness in the European market as forewarning for SolarEdge's disappointing results and guidance. </p>
<p>SolarEdge expects revenue of between $180 million and $200 million for the fourth quarter, below the consensus of $308.66 million. </p>
<p>Levy said market weakness is cyclical and sees SolarEdge as a "show-me story" over the coming quarters.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Truist reiterated its Hold rating on SolarEdge and lowered its price target from $20 to $15.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>BMO on SEDG:</strong> BMO Capital Markets analyst <strong>Ameet Thakkar</strong> pointed to Solar Edge's "disappointing update" and "meaningfully" lowered the price target on the stock from $21 to $12 as the European market "has gone from bad to worse."&nbsp;</p>
<p>The BMO analyst maintained a Market Perform rating and said SolarEdge should see growth alongside solar demand.&nbsp;</p>
<p>However, Thakkar said the company's management leaves him cautious and he would like to see "more urgency" in the rate of change to the company's cost structure and operational expenditures.&nbsp;</p>
<p>"At this point, given the already over 80% ytd decline in company share price, high short interest, and SEDG belatedly taking more decisive actions to clear its product channel in Europe we await to see if any progress emerges," the BMO analyst wrote.</p>
<p><strong>SEDG Price Action:</strong> According to data from Benzinga Pro, SolarEdge Technologies shares are down 9.74% at $13.43 at the time of publication Friday.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Elon Musk</strong>&#8216;s fortune skyrocketed past $300 billion on Friday, fueled by a sharp rally in <strong>Tesla Inc</strong>. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>)'s stock after <strong>Donald Trump</strong>'s election as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/11/41813356/elon-musks-net-worth-soars-by-26-5-billion-in-single-day-after-tesla-stock-surges-post-trump-vic">the 47th U.S. president.</a></p>
<p>According to Forbes&#8217; Real-Time Billionaires List, Musk&#8217;s net worth reached $305 billion — distantly followed by <strong>Oracle Inc.</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NASDAQ">ORCL</a>) co-founder <strong>Larry Ellison</strong> at around $231 billion, and <strong>Amazon.com Inc. </strong>(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>)'s <strong>Jeff Bezos</strong>, who trails at approximately $225 billion.</p>
<p>Musk is now more than $100 billion richer than <strong>Meta Platform Inc.</strong>&#8216;s<strong> </strong>(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) CEO <strong>Mark Zuckerberg</strong>.</p>
<p>The electric carmaker's shares rocketed nearly 30% over the week, driving the company's market capitalization beyond the $1 trillion mark and delivering Musk a massive windfall.</p>
<p>Other than deriving much of his wealth from Tesla, Musk has also diversified his fortune in <strong>SpaceX</strong>, founded in 2002, which is worth nearly $210 billion based on a tender offer launched during the second half of 2024. Musk owns an estimated 42% stake.</p>
<p>Musk bought Twitter in a $44 billion (enterprise value) deal in 2022, although Forbes estimates that the social media company, which he renamed X, is worth nearly 70% less <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/top-stories/24/10/41603930/trump-vs-musk-djt-stock-worth-more-than-latest-x-valuation-thanks-to-2024-election-run-up">as of August 2024</a>.</p>
<p>Musk owns an estimated 60% of <strong>xAI</strong>, which he founded in 2023. Private investors valued the company at $24 billion in May 2024.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Why Trump's Victory Was A Big Win For Musk</h3>
<p>Trump's stance on tariffs, specifically on vehicles imported from Europe and China, could potentially make it tougher for foreign carmakers to compete in the U.S. market — an advantage that could drive up Tesla's market share on its home turf.</p>
<p>A Trump presidency would likely mean the end of EV subsidies and tax credits during Tesla&#8217;s second-quarter earnings call.</p>
<p>The impact would be slight for Tesla and devastating for its competitors. &#8220;But long term probably actually helps Tesla, would be my guess, yes,&#8221; Musk has said.</p>
<p>Musk has also been <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41766808/mark-cuban-congratulates-trump-musk-before-the-election-is-called-says-they-won-fair-and-square">an active political backer</a> for Trump's 2024 campaign, reportedly donating over $130 million to support his re-election efforts.</p>
<p>Trump&#8217;s victory speech didn't shy away from showing gratitude either. </p>
<p>As Forbes highlighted, Trump took nearly 4 minutes in his first speech to praise Musk, calling him a "super genius" and highlighting Tesla's achievements, from SpaceX's rocket launches to the expanding satellite internet network.</p>
<p>"A star is born — Elon!" Trump declared.</p>
<p>Musk has expressed enthusiasm about heading a proposed Department of Government Efficiency (D.O.G.E.), where he'd lead efforts to trim wasteful spending from the federal budget. Trump touted Musk as the ideal candidate to serve as the "Secretary of Cost-Cutting," potentially overseeing an ambitious plan to slash $2 trillion in federal expenses.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Musk&#8217;s Wealth Outpaces 475 S&amp;P 500 Companies</h3>
<p>To put his wealth into perspective, Musk could theoretically buy out companies in the S&amp;P 500 with valuations smaller than his own, a list as big as 474 names.</p>
<p>Major corporations like <strong>Chevron </strong>(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVX#NYSE">CVX</a>), valued at $287 billion, and <strong>The Coca-Cola Company</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KO#NYSE">KO</a>) at $276 billion, are now "within reach" for Musk's personal fortune.</p>
<p>With $305 billion, Musk could also theoretically acquire three companies in the $100 billion range, like <strong>Prologis </strong>(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLD#NYSE">PLD</a>), <strong>Deere &amp; Company </strong>(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DE#NYSE">DE</a>) and <strong>Lam Research Corporation </strong>(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LRCX#NASDAQ">LRCX</a>), with cash to spare.</p>

Elon Musk's Wealth Tops $300 Billion As Tesla's Market Cap Soars Above $1 Trillion

<p>In a recent <a href="https://omny.fm/shows/suze-ormans-women-and-money/suze-school-there-is-no-greater-teacher-in-life-th">Women &amp; Money podcast</a> episode, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/10/41318259/with-all-due-respect-this-makes-no-sense-suze-orman-explains-why-this-1-6-million-401-k-rollover">Suze Orman</a> and her wife KT shared a heartfelt email from a listener named Anna. Anna's message struck a chord as she expressed guilt and self-doubt after a year of extraordinary financial success, earning $1.4 million.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Don't Miss:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>According to Vanguard&#8217;s Advisor&#8217;s Alpha Study, working with a financial advisor can result in approximately 3% higher net returns annually,</strong><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/3-percent-advantage-financial-advisor"><strong> </strong><strong>here are the benefits of partnering with a financial advisor and how to find the right one near you in minutes.</strong></a></li>
<li><strong>Can you guess how many retire with a $5,000,000 nest egg? </strong><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/5mil-nest-egg-adv"><strong>The percentage may shock you</strong></a><strong>.</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>Anna's journey to this achievement wasn't straightforward – it involved facing personal challenges, including leaving a marriage to prioritize her happiness. Despite her professional accomplishments, she struggles with feeling deserving of her newfound wealth.</p>
<p>Anna's email began with a note of gratitude for Orman's past advice, which she says helped her take charge of her life. After listening to Orman's "tough love" guidance on standing firm in one's truth, Anna found the courage to make life-altering decisions, including going through a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/10/41519655/kevin-oleary-warns-never-let-a-man-control-your-financial-destiny-he-says-divorce-your-husband-and-y">divorce</a>. She bought out her ex-husband's equity in their home, retaining their favorable mortgage rate and feeling grateful for his support.</p>

<p>However, Anna's recent financial windfall has left her grappling with complex emotions. Her skill, hard work and her company's stock price surge led her to this significant income: $1.4 million in a single year.&nbsp;</p>
<p>She admits feeling guilty for earning such a large sum when others in demanding professions, such as teaching and nursing, make far less. Anna mentioned that her success feels "absurd" to her and even acknowledged that she's hesitant to share it with others, fearing they may view her as ungrateful.</p>
<p><strong>Trending: </strong><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/100k-cd"><strong>$100K Sitting In A CD Account, Should I Move Money Into The Stock Market?</strong></a></p>
<p>Orman and KT addressed Anna's feelings directly, emphasizing that such guilt around financial success is not uncommon. "The number of emails and people I have met that feel this way or come into an inheritance and they hide the fact that they&#8217;ve <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/10/41462117/man-inherits-50-million-and-turns-to-dave-ramsey-for-advice-he-says-wealthy-people-who-give-are-">inherited millions of dollars</a> from their family. Yet nobody, not one of their friends, has a clue. It&#8217;s like they are embarrassed by money. And it&#8217;s not just you, Anna, that feels that way."</p>
<p>She shared her experience of feeling shocked by her early financial milestones, recalling when she received her first $250,000 check and left it on her kitchen counter for two weeks, overwhelmed by its enormity.</p>
<p>The couple reassured Anna that she isn't "lucky" alone – her success is also due to her hard work, dedication and good decision-making. KT observed that Anna recognizes her competence but has yet to fully appreciate the value of her achievements. KT encouraged her to "celebrate" this milestone and share it openly with those she trusts to affirm her success rather than hide it.</p>
<p><strong>See Also: </strong><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich"><strong>Are you rich?</strong></a><strong> Here&#8217;s what Americans think you need to be considered wealthy.</strong></p>
<p>Orman also addressed the importance of cultivating a healthy relationship with money. She pointed out that feelings of fear, shame and anger can become obstacles to building lasting wealth. Orman encouraged Anna to let go of guilt, reminding her that <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">financial wealth</a> doesn't diminish her worth but is simply a result of her choices and circumstances. "Do not insult yourself like this," Orman advised, urging Anna to recognize that she deserves the wealth she has earned.</p>
<p>Ultimately, Orman and KT's message to Anna was clear: acknowledge and celebrate your success. Orman pointed out that wealth, like happiness, is not just a matter of financial gain but is rooted in self-acceptance. By embracing her financial achievements, Anna can feel empowered and continue making sound financial decisions without guilt.</p>

<h3>About Alphabet</h3>
<p>Alphabet is a holding company that wholly owns internet giant Google. The California-based company derives slightly less than 90% of its revenue from Google services, the vast majority of which is advertising sales.

Google's cloud computing platform, or GCP, accounts for roughly 10% of Alphabet's revenue with the firm's investments in up-and-coming technologies such as self-driving cars (Waymo), health (Verily), and internet access (Google Fiber) making up the rest.</p>

Looking At Wayfair's Recent Unusual Options Activity

Sunrun shares are trading lower after the company reported worse-than-expected Q3 financial results. Also, multiple firms lowered their respective price targets on the stock.

<p><strong><em>Article via <a href="https://elplanteo.com/turismo-cannabis-puerto-rico-entrevista-noemi-perez/">El Planteo</a></em></strong></p>
<p>"Stigma was never an excuse," says <strong>Noemí Pérez,</strong> founder of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/10/41557094/fab-5-freddys-b-noble-pushes-fair-access-to-cannabis-jobs-through-free-training-grants-initiativ">GreenBook Academy</a> and president of<strong> Puerto Rico MedCann.Biz,</strong> on her mission to bring <a href="https://elplanteo.com/cannabis-medicinal/">medicinal cannabis</a> education to every corner of <a href="https://elplanteo.com/pr">Puerto Rico</a>. Since the program&#8217;s inception in 2015, Pérez has worked to shift views around cannabis, from being seen as a prohibited substance to being understood as a therapeutic tool with significant benefits. This has been no small task, involving traveling across towns to offer free workshops and train both professionals and patients alike.</p>
<p><em>Watch this episode of <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TzYjAsaQiFc&amp;t=1200s">&#8220;El Planteo Live&#8221;</a> on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TzYjAsaQiFc&amp;t=1200s">YouTube</a>.</em></p>
<p>GreenBook Academy is not just an educational hub, it's a force for change. The academy prepares individuals interested in areas such as cannabis cultivation, manufacturing and sales, creating an ecosystem of skilled workers in the cannabis industry. "Puerto Rico's regulations are unique," Pérez explains, highlighting how the strict educational requirements have helped establish a regulated and professionalized market. Local regulations mandate that all cannabis industry employees complete a minimum level of training, which has been crucial in breaking down prejudices and integrating the community.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Education And Community: Shifting The Perception Of Medicinal Cannabis In Puerto Rico</strong></h2>
<p>Pérez recalls the early days of Puerto Rico's medicinal cannabis industry: "There were no patients, no doctors, no vendors." Through the Cannaworks Institute, Pérez has introduced entire communities to medicinal <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/cannabis">cannabis</a>. This educational strategy has become a continuous awareness campaign, helping her gain ground against stigma and attract more professionals to the industry.</p>
<p>The entrepreneur recognizes that in a society with Puerto Rico's strong pharmaceutical heritage, quality and seriousness are vital for cannabis to thrive. In her view, the island's pharmaceutical approach, with its high-quality standards, not only ensures safe products but builds consumer trust. "Here in Puerto Rico, the medicinal cannabis project follows the same pharmaceutical foundations," she explains. This regulatory approach has helped medicinal cannabis be seen more as a legitimate option and less as a recreational substance.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Medical Cannabis Tourism: Creating A Wellness-Focused Puerto Rico</strong></h2>
<p>Pérez's mission extends beyond local education. With her vision for expanding medicinal tourism, GreenBook Academy aims to offer a holistic experience for patients visiting the island. Inspired by the Caribbean's tourism growth, Pérez has developed an innovative program allowing patients from other jurisdictions who cannot bring their medicinal cannabis with them to access products in Puerto Rico. This experience—complete with educational tours and dispensary visits—provides visitors with a comprehensive introduction to medicinal cannabis in a safe, regulated environment.</p>
<p>"It's like a ‘workshop on wheels,'" Pérez says excitedly. This initiative not only promotes wellness tourism but also helps reinforce Puerto Rico's image as a leader in health care and alternative therapies. For the founder of GreenBook, this experience is an opportunity to normalize medicinal cannabis use while creating jobs and strengthening the local economy.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>2025: A Vision For The Future Of Cannabis In Puerto Rico</strong></h2>
<p>For Pérez, the goal for 2025 is clear: broaden education and access to medicinal cannabis across the island. Although recreational legalization remains uncertain, Pérez is focused on promoting an accessible, safe and educational medicinal cannabis model. Through GreenBook Academy, she plans to keep training new professionals, expand medicinal tourism and ensure that more patients learn about and trust cannabis as a viable therapeutic option.</p>
<p>The dedication of Noemí Pérez and her team has established GreenBook Academy and Cannaworks as pillars in developing a respected and professional medicinal cannabis industry in Puerto Rico. Looking toward an inclusive and accessible future, Pérez continues to break down barriers, challenge stigmas and demonstrate that medicinal cannabis has a solid place in the island's health and economy.</p>
