<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>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>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>

Behind the Scenes of Energy Transfer's Latest Options Trends

<p><strong>Sony Group Corp.</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SONY#NYSE">SONY</a>) has reported that the PlayStation 5 (PS5) has surpassed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/gaming">65 million units sold.</a></p>
<p>However, the company also revealed that PS5 hardware sales have declined compared to the same period last year. While sales dropped from 8.2 million units to 6.2 million, Sony noted improvements in hardware profitability, Eurogamer <a href="https://www.eurogamer.net/ps5-console-sales-top-65m-as-astro-bot-sells-15m-copies-in-first-month">reported.</a></p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Software Sales And Network Services</h3>
<p>In contrast to the dip in hardware sales, Sony&#8217;s software sales have remained strong. The company shipped 131.3 million games in the first half of its financial year, with 11.3 million of those being first-party titles. </p>
<p><strong>See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/gaming/24/11/41720083/unboxing-the-ps5-pro-whats-changed-in-sonys-latest-console-upgrade">Unboxing The PS5 Pro: What&#8217;s Changed In Sony&#8217;s Latest Console Upgrade</a></strong></p>
<p>Astro Bot, a game released in early September, accounted for 1.5 million of those copies, showing the continued demand for PlayStation's exclusive titles. Ghost of Tsushima also saw continued success, selling 13 million copies across both PS5 and PC.</p>
<p>The report also mentioned that earnings were supported by &#8220;a new sports title&#8221; and &#8220;an action RPG title from China,&#8221; which are believed to be EA Sports FC 25 and Black Myth: Wukong, respectively.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">PlayStation Plus Subscription Growth Slows</h3>
<p>PlayStation Plus subscriptions, which are a key part of Sony's network services, have shown slower growth. The service now has 116 million subscribers, up from 107 million the previous year. However, there was no additional growth since the previous quarter, indicating a plateau in subscription numbers.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Future Strategy: Balancing Single-Player And Live Service Games</h3>
<p>Looking ahead, Sony plans to maintain a balanced portfolio of single-player games, which the company describes as having a higher likelihood of success due to its established intellectual properties. At the same time, Sony is continuing to invest in live service games, which present potential for greater revenue but come with more risk.</p>
<p>"We intend to build on an optimum title portfolio during the current mid-range plan period, that combines single-player games, which are our strength and which have a higher predictability of becoming hits due to our proven IP, with live service games that pursue upside, while taking on a certain amount of risk upon release," Sony stated in its report.</p>
<p>The upcoming PS5 Pro is also part of Sony's future strategy. The new console, which is expected to launch soon, is designed to enhance the PlayStation experience with a selection of games confirmed to be optimized for the upgraded hardware.</p>

Why Nature's Miracle (NMHI) Stock Is Down 28%

<p><strong>Live Nation Entertainment Inc</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LYV#NYSE">LYV</a>) is set to report its third-quarter earnings after trading hours <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/earnings/24/11/41846213/whats-next-live-nation-entertainments-earnings-preview">on Monday, Nov. 11</a>.</p>
<p>Investors anticipate results that could build on the ticket vendor's robust second-quarter performance. </p>
<p>The parent company of <strong>Ticketmaster</strong>, <strong>Live Nation Concerts</strong> and <strong>Live Nation Media &amp; Sponsorship</strong>, reported mixed results last quarter. Revenue <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/LYV/earnings">reached $6.023 billion</a>, slightly ahead of the $6.018 billion forecast. This marked a 7% year-over-year increase. </p>
<p>Earnings per share fell short of estimates, reaching $1.03 versus the anticipated $1.06.</p>

<p><strong>What To Know:</strong> In the second quarter, Live Nation demonstrated strong growth in its core operations, with its concert business continuing to perform well amid high demand for live events. </p>
<p>The company hosted 39 million fans globally, a 5% increase from the same period last year, and saw its ticketing segment reach 183 million fee-bearing ticket sales year-to-date, up 3%. This steady growth highlights Live Nation's ability to attract large audiences across a diverse array of shows.</p>
<p>Sponsorship revenue remains a key growth driver, rising by 28% year-to-date. CEO <strong>Michael Rapino</strong> attributed this success to strategic investments in hospitality and infrastructure at Live Nation-operated venues, part of the company&#8217;s broader Venue Nation strategy.</p>
<p><strong>What Else:</strong> In terms of financial strength, Live Nation ended the second quarter with $6.4 billion in cash and equivalents, reflecting strong cash generation, including $1.4 billion in cash from operating activities and $635 million in adjusted free cash flow. </p>
<p>Although operating income faced a minor impact due to one-time accruals, Live Nation expects to achieve double-digit growth in adjusted operating income<strong> </strong>(AOI) for the year, a positive indicator for the third quarter.</p>
<p>With strong tailwinds in sponsorship and ticket sales, third quarter expectations hinge on continued fan turnout and higher spending at venues. If Live Nation can maintain momentum in these areas, it could offset prior EPS misses and reinforce its dominant position in live entertainment.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy LYV Stock</h3>
<p>Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share &#8211; or fractional share &#8211; of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument.</p>
<p>For example, in Live Nation Entertainment&#8217;s case, it is in the Communication Services sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.</p>
<p>According to data from <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, Live Nation has a 52-week high of $127.64 and a 52-week low of $81.38.</p>
