Chris, undeterred, went straight for the jugular. "Are you smarter than Warren Buffett?" he asked, challenging Ramsey's long-standing advice on actively managed funds. Clearly not in the mood for hypotheticals, Ramsey cut him off: "Let's stop for a second – what's the point of your call?"
Chris explained that the point was to call out Ramsey for recommending actively managed mutual funds over index funds. According to Chris, investors could end up with 50% more money at retirement if they stick with low-cost index funds instead of paying higher fees for actively managed ones.
Ramsey wasn't buying it. "Not sure where you went to school for your math class, but you failed," he shot back. With decades of experience under his belt, Ramsey insisted that his picks for actively managed funds have consistently outperformed the indexes. "I've got socks older than you," he quipped, doubling down on his claim that, with proper research, it's possible to find actively managed funds that deliver better returns.

When Chris mentioned Warren Buffett's endorsement of index funds, Ramsey pointed out that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/09/41028012/warren-buffett-bet-1m-he-could-outperform-hedge-funds-over-a-decade-he-did-it-with-a-strategy-requir">Buffett himself doesn't stick solely to passive investing</a>. "He actually has an actively managed portfolio called Berkshire Hathaway," Ramsey said. "I really don't have a problem with index funds. You can get rich with index funds – but not 50% richer. That's complete BS."
As the call spiraled into a back-and-forth, Ramsey clarified his position: he practices what he preaches. "I've been doing this for 30 years and it's made me a multi-multi-multi-millionaire," he said. "I invest in the same actively managed growth stock mutual funds I tell people to use."
By the end of the exchange, Ramsey couldn't resist one final jab. "I think we're confused as to who's arrogant on this call, brother," he said, before recommending Chris read How to Win Friends and Influence People.&nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">So, Is Ramsey Right?</h2>
The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/10/41252767/warren-buffetts-timeless-advice-is-to-invest-in-stocks-that-youd-be-perfectly-happy-to-hold-if-the-m">debate between active and passive investing</a> isn't new and both sides have their merits. Index funds often appeal to investors because of their low fees and simplicity.
Trending: Studies show 50% of consumers think Financial Advisors cost much more than they do —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/money-pickle"> to debunk this, this company provides matching for free and a complimentary first call with the matched advisor.</a>
Studies show that many actively managed funds fail to outperform their benchmarks over time. Visual Capitalist reports that over 20 years, 95% of large-cap actively managed funds have underperformed their benchmark. However, Ramsey's point about selecting high-performing funds is valid – though it requires more effort and expertise than many investors are willing to put in.
So, who's right here? It depends on your priorities. For hands-off investors, index funds might be the way to go. But for those willing to do their homework – or hire someone who will – actively managed funds could offer a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/08/40318568/mark-cuban-says-to-get-rich-invest-10-of-savings-in-high-risk-investments-but-if-its-bitcoin-thr">chance to beat the market</a>.
One thing's for sure – Ramsey doesn't shy away from a challenge. Whether you agree with his advice or not, his conviction is hard to ignore. As for Chris, maybe next time he'll work on his delivery. "You're stupid and arrogant" isn't exactly the best opener.&nbsp;

Dogwifhat Now Available To Trade On Robinhood — Can That Stop Its Underperformance Against Dogecoin, Shiba Inu?

<a href="https://www.marijuanamoment.net/dea-says-it-didnt-conspire-with-anti-marijuana-group-dismissing-allegedly-illegal-talks-as-gossip/">https://www.marijuanamoment.net/dea-says-it-didnt-conspire-with-anti-marijuana-group-dismissing-allegedly-illegal-talks-as-gossip/</a>
The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and the prohibitionist group Smart Approaches to Marijuana (SAM) have categorically denied allegations that they illegally conspired together during the Biden administration's marijuana rescheduling process.
In a response to a motion seeking to remove DEA from the rescheduling proceedings over alleged ex parte communications with SAM, the agency on Monday said it "unequivocally denies" the charge and requested a dismissal of the motion from Hemp for Victory and Village Farms International.
"Movants' own evidence fails to demonstrate that any unlawful ex parte communication took place," DEA said in its brief with the administrative law judge (ALJ) overseeing the case. "The Movants would have this tribunal embark on a fishing expedition in search of evidence to support these sweeping, unsupported claims, which at best can be categorized as gossip, not ex parte communications."
The original filing included screenshots of social media posts where the group's president, Kevin Sabet, indicated he had private conversations with DEA officials about the rescheduling effort as SAM rallied opposition to the reform and urged the agency to keep marijuana in Schedule I.
One week prior to DOJ's publication of the proposed rule, Sabet posted on X that he could confirm DEA Administrator Anne Milgram wouldn't sign the notice, citing "two confidential sources inside DEA and another outside DEA with intimate knowledge."
The agency said that doesn't amount to ex parte communications, however.
"The tribunal correctly questions the seriousness of the remedies sought by the Movants and as such, should deny the motion," it said in the new filing, referring to comments from the judge last week. DEA added that the cannabis organizations behind the motion failed to "identify any precedent that would support removing an agency from its own rulemaking process."
"The only authority cited by the Movants on this point simply supports the notion that specific individuals may be removed from the proceeding under the appropriate circumstances," it said, pointing out that there is no accusation of any wrongdoing by DEA attorneys involved in the current proceedings on rescheduling. "In short, the Movants' arguments are completely without merit."
SAM also filed a response with the ALJ on Monday, arguing that the allegations "fail on their face to suggest any improper contacts between SAM and the DEA," and therefore they "can and should be quickly dispensed with by this Tribunal."
The organization asserted that, statutorily, unlawful ex parte communications would need to have occurred after the Justice Department posted its notice of proposed rulemaking, which is not explicitly alleged in the original motion.
"Standing alone, that deficiency itself is sufficient to dismiss Movants' speculation about supposed improper contacts," it said.
SAM also cited media reports from outlets including Marijuana Moment and The Wall Street Journal, as well as social media posts from supporters of the rescheduling effort, that contained information about the process that had not yet been made publicly available. It argued that such reporting undermined the allegation that Sabet's communications were uniquely improper.
"In short, the Motion is a transparent effort to smear both SAM and the DEA in an attempt to eliminate from this proceeding one of the strongest voices opposing rescheduling of marijuana," SAM said. "The Tribunal should deny Movants' invitation to create a sideshow requiring SAM and its counsel to expend more time and funds defending against unfounded attacks and instead should permit SAM to focus on the merits of these proceedings."
After the motion was filed with DEA ALJ John Mulrooney, <a href="https://www.marijuanamoment.net/dea-judge-gives-agency-one-week-to-address-allegations-of-illegal-talks-with-marijuana-opponents-amid-rescheduling-process/">the judge invited both the agency</a> <a href="https://www.marijuanamoment.net/dea-judge-invites-prohibitionist-group-to-explain-allegedly-unlawful-talks-with-agency-amid-marijuana-rescheduling-review/">and SAM to respond</a>, calling the nature of the alleged illegal communications "serious."
This comes just weeks before an initial December 2 hearing before the ALJ on the government's proposal to move marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA).
In a historic first, it was Attorney General Merrick Garland—and not DEA's Milgram—who signed the proposed rule to reschedule cannabis. The original motion said that fact, as well as DEA's apparent indecision on the proposed rule, warranted a change in the hearing structure.
The judge, in turn, said that the prospect of removing an agency head from rulemaking that it is responsible for overseeing would likely, "and correctly," be deemed beyond the ALJ office's jurisdiction.
Last week, Mulrooney officially ruled on <a href="https://www.marijuanamoment.net/dea-judge-issues-order-approving-and-denying-witnesses-for-marijuana-rescheduling-hearing-and-laying-out-next-steps/">which of the agency's 25 selected witnesses for the hearing will be able to participate</a>, while laying out the procedure for the administrative process—including how pro- and anti-reform speakers will be able to cross-examine one another.
Separately, the judge last week <a href="https://www.marijuanamoment.net/researcher-asks-dea-judge-to-postpone-marijuana-rescheduling-hearing-until-after-trump-takes-over/">denied a request from a cannabis and psychedelics researcher</a> to postpone the upcoming rescheduling hearing over the agency's alleged "improper blocking" of witnesses, while arguing that the process should be halted at least until President-elect Donald Trump's administration comes into power so it can review the rulemaking.
Mulrooney also <a href="https://www.marijuanamoment.net/dea-judge-rejects-veterans-groups-petition-to-participate-in-marijuana-rescheduling-hearing/">rejected a veterans group's petition to participate in the rescheduling hearing</a>, which the organization called a "travesty of justice" that excludes key voices that would be affected by the potential policy change.
For what it's worth, Vice President Kamala Harris said recently that part of the reason for the delay in the administration's marijuana rescheduling effort is&nbsp;<a href="https://www.marijuanamoment.net/kamala-harris-blames-marijuana-rescheduling-delay-on-dea-bureaucracy-while-defending-her-own-prosecutorial-record/">federal bureaucracy that "slows things down," including at DEA.</a>
In March, Harris also expressed some frustration with the bureaucratic process of rescheduling marijuana, prior to DOJ's formal recommendation,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.marijuanamoment.net/watch-live-vp-harris-talks-marijuana-ahead-of-white-house-meeting-with-cannabis-pardon-recipients/">calling on DEA to expediently finish the job</a>.
While the Biden–Harris administration facilitated the review that led to the DOJ rescheduling proposal, Trump has also voiced support for the reform.
In Congress, numerous lawmakers have shared their own perspectives on the proposed reform with DEA and DOJ since the Schedule III announcement was made.
In August, for example, Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA)&nbsp;<a href="https://www.marijuanamoment.net/gop-senator-demands-answers-on-rush-to-reschedule-marijuana-from-top-biden-administration-officials/">raised concerns about the Biden administration's justification</a>&nbsp;for recommending marijuana rescheduling, demanding answers to questions from federal agencies about how they arrived at that decision in what he described as a rushed and unconventional administrative process.
A week earlier, top Democratic senators—including&nbsp; Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY)—sent a separate letter to DOJ's Garland and DEA's Milgram urging the agencies to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.marijuanamoment.net/schumer-booker-and-other-senators-push-dea-to-promptly-finalize-marijuana-rescheduling/">"promptly finalize" the rule to reschedule marijuana</a>.
While rescheduling would remove certain research barriers and free up state-licensed cannabis business to take federal tax deductions under the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) code known as 280E, it would not federally legalize marijuana, as the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.marijuanamoment.net/marijuana-businesses-could-advertise-in-newspapers-and-magazines-if-rescheduling-is-approved-congressional-researchers-say/">Congressional Research Service (CRS) has made known in multiple recent reports</a>.
Meanwhile, two additional congressional lawmakers have joined the ranks of GOP members who are challenging what they say is&nbsp;<a href="https://www.marijuanamoment.net/gop-lawmakers-demand-answers-from-biden-administration-about-unusual-marijuana-review-process-behind-rescheduling-push/">the "unusual" process that led the Biden administration to propose rescheduling marijuana</a>, expressing concern about how the review was carried out and demanding answers.
Rep. Doug LaMalfa (R-CA)&nbsp;<a href="https://www.marijuanamoment.net/gop-congressman-says-marijuana-rescheduling-and-banking-reform-would-prop-up-an-immoral-industry/">condemned the Biden administration's push to reclassify marijuana</a>, as well as legislative efforts to enact bipartisan cannabis banking reform, because he says the policy changes would "prop up this immoral industry" and give a "green light to the evil that comes from drug use."
Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) also blasted the Biden administration over what he described as&nbsp;<a href="https://www.marijuanamoment.net/gop-senator-condemns-lack-of-transparency-in-marijuana-rescheduling-process/">repeated refusals from federal agencies to brief Congress</a>&nbsp;on its plans and justification for rescheduling marijuana, which he argues fuels speculation that the proposed policy change is politically motivated.
Similarly, 25 GOP congressional lawmakers sent a public comment letter in July opposing the administration's planned rescheduling of marijuana, specifically alleging&nbsp;<a href="https://www.marijuanamoment.net/gop-lawmakers-push-justice-department-to-reverse-course-on-marijuana-rescheduling/">the government's recommendation was based on politics rather than science</a>.

As the world hurtles toward an electrified future, the copper market <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/copper">stands at a crossroads</a>. 
Insights from JPMorgan analysts Patrick Jones, Greg Shearer and Bill Peterson paint a complex picture: short-term hurdles for copper prices, but a glittering long-term outlook driven by electric vehicles and evolving supply dynamics.
This could seem as good news for those invested in United States Copper Index Fund ETV (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CPER#NYSE">CPER</a>), Global X Copper Miners ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COPX#NYSE">COPX</a>), iShares Copper and Metals Mining ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ICOP#NASDAQ">ICOP</a>) for the long-term.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">EV Boom: Supercharging Copper Demand</h2>
The electric vehicle revolution is set to electrify copper demand. JPMorgan predicts copper usage in EVs will more than double from 1.4 million metric tons in 2023 to 3 million by 2030. While some worry that technological advances like thinner copper anode foils could dampen demand, the analysts argue otherwise. 
Larger EV sizes and a pivot toward lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) batteries — which are more copper-intensive — are expected to drive long-term growth.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">New Technologies: Leaching A Lifeline?</h2>
Leaching technologies are generating buzz, but can they revolutionize copper supply? Not yet, say the analysts. While projects from major miners like Freeport-McMoRan Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FCX#NYSE">FCX</a>) and BHP Group Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BHP#NYSE">BHP</a>) are on the horizon, these advancements are unlikely to offset supply declines before 2030.
At best, leaching could add 550,000 metric tons annually, just 2% of global supply.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Scrap &amp; Recycling: The Unsung Hero?</h2>
Recycling is a crucial cog in the copper machine, accounting for about 17% of refined supply in 2024, up from 14% in 2020. JPMorgan forecasts scrap supply will grow by 5-6% annually, faster than historical rates, yet insufficient to bridge the long-term deficit. Recycling alone won't solve copper's supply crunch.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Near-Term Risks, Long-Term Rewards</h2>
JPMorgan warns of near-term risks from macroeconomic pressures, particularly a potential devaluation of the Chinese yuan to 7.8 to 8.0 per U.S. dollar. This could lead to a 12-15% dip in copper prices, presenting headwinds for equities. However, the analysts remain bullish on the long-term trajectory, underpinned by a looming supply-demand gap.
Their picks? 
Lundin Mining Corp (OTCPK: LUNMF) leads in EMEA, while Teck Resources Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TECK#NYSE">TECK</a>) tops the Americas. Asia-Pacific favorites include Zijin Mining and Merdeka Copper, with caution advised on Jiangxi Copper and Sandfire Resources.

Copper's High-Wire Act: Can EVs, New Tech Power The Metal's Next Big Surge?

Chemed's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CHE#NYSE">CHE</a>) short percent of float has risen 6.38% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 259 thousand shares sold short, which is 2.0% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.72 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Chemed has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Chemed's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Chemed's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 8.22%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

Vertex Pharmaceuticals's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VRTX#NYSE">VRTX</a>) short percent of float has risen 5.42% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 4.50 million shares sold short, which is 1.75% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 4.52 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1732560311_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Vertex Pharmaceuticals has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Vertex Pharmaceuticals's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Vertex Pharmaceuticals's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 5.14%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze/">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

Looking Into Vertex Pharmaceuticals's Recent Short Interest

Rumble Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RUM#NASDAQ">RUM</a>) shares are trading higher Monday after the company announced that streamer Dr. Disrespect will provide exclusive content to Rumble Premium and lead <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/11/g42162724/dr-disrespect-will-lead-rumble-gaming-join-rumble-premium">Rumble Gaming as an advisor</a>.
What Happened: Rumble announced Monday morning that Dr. Disrespect will begin streaming his content on the Rumble platform as part of an agreement that includes equity with milestones as a majority of its compensation.
Dr. Disrespect is set to provide exclusive content to Rumble Premium for his &#8220;Champions Club&#8221; community and lead Rumble Gaming, acting as an advisor and helping build the Rumble Gaming community.
Dr. Disrespect will make his Rumble debut on Dec. 2. Rumble will be offering a $10 discount for new subscribers to his community as part of the launch. 
&#8220;Rumble is in a new era, and I&#8217;m laser-focused on expanding into two categories: gaming and crypto. Dr Disrespect will give a much-needed injection into our gaming category,&#8221; said Chris Pavlovski, chairman and CEO of Rumble.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy RUM Stock</h3>
By now you're likely curious about how to participate in the market for Rumble &#8211; be it to purchase shares, or even attempt to bet against the company.
Buying shares is typically done through a brokerage account. You can find a list of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-stock-trading-platforms">possible trading platforms here.</a> Many will allow you to buy ‘fractional shares,' which allows you to own portions of stock without buying an entire share. 
In the case of Rumble, which is trading at $7.23 as of publishing time, $100 would buy you 13.83 shares of stock.
If you're looking to bet against a company, the process is more complex. You'll need access to an options trading platform, or a broker who will allow you to &#8220;go short&#8221; a share of stock by lending you the shares to sell. The process of shorting a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock">stock can be found at this resource.</a> Otherwise, if your broker allows you to trade options, you can either buy a put option, or sell a call option at a strike price above where shares are currently trading &#8211; either way it allows you to profit off of the share price decline.
RUM Price Action: <a href="http://benzinga.com/quote/rum">Rumble shares</a> were up 13.3% at $7.35 at the time of publication, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.
