NRX Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NRXP#NASDAQ">NRXP</a>) shares are trading higher on Thursday after the company&#8217;s Hope Therapeutics subsidiary announced the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/01/n42762750/hope-therapeutics-inc-and-nrx-pharmaceuticals-inc-nasdaq-nrxp-announce-kadima-neuropsychiatry-inst">planed acquisition of Kadima Neuropsychiatry Institute.</a>
The acquisition is part of a broader plan by NRX and Hope to establish a network of clinics for treating depression and PTSD, with Kadima set to become the flagship location.
NRX highlights Kadima as a leading interventional psychiatry clinic, known for introducing ketamine therapy for central nervous system disorders at scale. The clinic also offers treatments such as Spravato, transcranial magnetic stimulation and medication management for conditions like suicidal depression, PTSD and anxiety.
The network is set to be called the HOPE network of which Dr. David Feifel will serve as the Chief Medical Innovation Officer.
&#8220;I am thrilled to join the leadership of HOPE at this exciting juncture,&#8221; said Feifel. 
&#8220;In a world where nearly 60 million Americans suffer from a mental illness in any given year, our dream has been to expand the successes and learnings of Kadima to an international stage, where we can continue to innovate and refine treatments that will create a world in which suicidal depression and PTSD are&nbsp;100%&nbsp;treatable conditions, from which patients and their families should expect to return to empowered and productive lives.&#8221;

What's Going On With NRX Pharmaceuticals Stock Thursday?

EQNR

Equinor shares are trading higher after the company announced it has received $3B in financing for its U.S. Empire Wind 1 project.

Authorities now believe the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42756901/fbi-probes-new-years-day-vehicle-assault-in-new-orleans-as-terrorism">New Orleans truck attack</a> suspect acted alone, contradicting earlier suspicions of the existence of accomplices, the FBI announced in a press conference on Thursday.
What Happened: The New Year's Day tragedy left 14 dead and dozens injured when Shamsud-Din Jabbar drove a pickup truck into a crowd of revelers on Bourbon Street, The New York Times <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/live/2025/01/02/us/new-orleans-attack-news">reports</a>. It was initially reported the Bourbon Street attack killed 15 people; the Times clarified Thursday that 14 people were killed plus the suspect. 
Officials said two explosive devices found at the French Quarter scene failed to detonate, adding that no definitive link has been established between the attack and the explosion outside the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas hours later.
In Las Vegas, Matthew Livelsberger, an active duty Army soldier, allegedly drove a rented Tesla Cybertruck loaded with fireworks mortars, gasoline and camping fuel into the valet area of the hotel early on New Year's Day. The vehicle exploded, killing Livelsberger and injuring seven bystanders, ABC News <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/las-vegas-cybertruck-explosion-investigation-leads-police-colorado/story?id=117263085">reports</a>.
Investigators have since uncovered that both Livelsberger and Jabbar served at the same Army base, <a href="https://www.denver7.com/news/local-news/suspects-in-vegas-explosion-new-orleans-attack-served-at-same-army-base-sources-tell-denver7-investigates">according </a>to Denver7, an ABC affiliate.

Why It Matters: The shared military base connection that was reported between Jabbar and Livelsberger has intensified scrutiny of their overlapping histories. Additionally, the use of Turo rentals in these tragedies highlights concerns about background check procedures on car-sharing platforms.
Both suspects rented electric pickup trucks: Livelsberger used a Tesla Cybertruck and Jabbar rented a Ford F-150 Lightning. The latter vehicle's owner, who rents cars for a secondary income, said he identified his truck from news footage and plans to stop using <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/01/42769136/turo-used-for-new-orleans-las-vegas-attacks-we-are-devastated-by-these-horrible-incidents">Turo after the attack.</a>
Authorities in both cities said there are no ongoing threats as investigations continue.

FBI Says Suspect In New Orleans Attack Acted Alone; Vegas Cybertruck Explosion Suspect Identified

Some people take saving money to a whole new level. A recent <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/Frugal/comments/1hmfdeq/what_are_some_extreme_acts_of_frugality_that_you/">thread</a> on r/Frugal asked users to share the most &#8220;extreme acts of frugality&#8221; they've witnessed and the responses did not disappoint. From genius hacks to eyebrow-raising habits, here are some of the most memorable ones.
One user shared a story about their grandfather, who would walk to the local grocery store daily to grab a complimentary coffee sample. He'd drink the small Dixie cup-sized serving and then walk home without buying a thing. According to the person, he &#8220;lived a great ultra-<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38628868/warren-buffetts-frugal-lifestyle-hacks-saved-millions-here-are-5-tips-to-follow-suit-in-your-everyda">frugal life</a> as he saw it. We didn't know much about his finances, but he needed very little in life. He left behind over a quarter of a million dollars in his bank, a house he owned and a gently used Toyota in the early 2000s.&#8221;

<li>Can you guess how many Americans successfully retire with $1,000,000 saved?<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/1milsaved"> The percentage may shock you</a>.</li>
</ul>
Another person&#8217;s grandmother's clever recycling also made an impression. As socks wore out, she'd darn them and pass them down to younger family members. When the socks became too short, she'd cut off the tops and sew them over worn coat sleeves. As someone noted, &#8220;I imagine this only works with real textiles. The polyester clothes that they sell now would never.&#8221;
A person&#8217;s father had a nightly ritual that involved turning off the Wi-Fi router to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/08/40431920/customers-who-save-on-electric-bills-might-have-to-pay-extra-utility-companies-could-charge-them">save on electricity</a>. While the actual savings were probably pennies, the habit sparked debates about how far people would go to pinch a penny.
Another crafty idea involved fabric strips dipped in a cornstarch-water mixture to seal drafts around windows and doors. Not only is it effective, but it's also an old-school trick that's stood the test of time– &#8220;I did this as a privacy screen on my biggest windows, but I appreciate the small amounts of heat savings they offer, though it was not my primary goal.&#8221;

Some folks took eco-frugality to another level by flushing their toilets with grey water from washing dishes or showers. One person even calculated that while this practice saved them next to nothing, it gave them a sense of satisfaction for using less.
In one of the more polarizing examples, someone's ex insisted on skipping seasonings altogether to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-save-money-fast">save money</a>, claiming the calories-per-dollar ratio wasn't worth it. This led to three months of bland, unseasoned rice and beans until the poster finally stole a salt shaker. "Worth it," they said. For one commenter, this was unhinged because, as they put it, a pound of salt is &#8220;like $1 and lasts forever.&#8221; Is it worth eating bland food every day just to save on that? They finally asked.
One commenter mentioned their sister, who wore her wedding dress from a previous marriage to her second wedding. While it raised eyebrows, others applauded the practicality. After all, it's just a dress.
Trending: Many are using retirement income calculators to check if they&#8217;re on pace —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-do-i-calculate-my-retirement-income-adv"> here&#8217;s a breakdown on what&#8217;s behind this formula.</a>
The thread also included stories about people cutting expiration dates off coupons, reusing disposable cups to claim "free" refills and dumpster diving for receipts to get freebies at fast-food restaurants.
Many users pointed out that extreme frugality often stems from past experiences with poverty or financial insecurity. One commenter reflected on how their grandparents, who lived through the Great Depression, saved everything from aluminum lids to juice concentrate tubes. It was less about saving money and more about the fear of waste and scarcity.
From hilarious to heartwarming, these stories show how far people will go to save a dollar. Whether it's a quirky habit or a creative solution, there's no denying that extreme frugality takes ingenuity – and maybe just a little madness!

Levy said UnitedHealthcare Group Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNH#NYSE">UNH</a>) denied coverage for one of his ICU patients.

Levy shared an email he wrote to UnitedHealthcare describing the patient&#8217;s treatment as critical for survival.

The insurance giant has garnered immense attention following the murder of its insurance unit CEO, Brian Thompson, in New York.
Luigi Mangione, the alleged perpetrator, pleaded not guilty to murder and weapons charges. Police found shell casings at the scene with the words &#8220;deny,&#8221; &#8220;defend,&#8221; and &#8220;depose,&#8221; commonly associated with insurance industry strategies for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42710544/can-you-bet-on-luigi-mangiones-fate-betting-platforms-regulators-wrestle-with-limits" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">handling claims and disputes</a>.
Authorities believe the crime may reflect a personal vendetta against UnitedHealthcare or the broader industry.
The homicide has brought fresh attention to systemic issues within the health insurance sector, with many calling for reforms. Executives have pledged to address these concerns, but critics remain skeptical about meaningful change.
Adding to the debate, media <a target="_blank" href="https://www.unitedhealthgroup.com/newsroom/2024/2024-12-uhg-response-wsj-recent-reporting-medicare-advantage.html" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a> have scrutinized Medicare Advantage (MA) plans administered by companies like UnitedHealthcare.
However, proponents argue MA programs outperform traditional Medicare by emphasizing early diagnosis, coordinated care, and value-based clinical models, leading to better health outcomes and lower costs for seniors.
UnitedHealthcare claims its MA plans are delivering on their intended purpose despite negative portrayals.
As public scrutiny intensifies, calls for accountability and transparency within the insurance industry grow louder, fueled by high-profile incidents and ongoing patient struggles.
Meanwhile, UnitedHealthcare has <a target="_blank" href="https://www.unitedhealthgroup.com/newsroom/2024/2024-12-13-uhg-statement-claims-misinformation.html" rel="noreferrer noopener">defended</a> its claim practices, stating it approves approximately 90% of claims upon submission, with less than 0.5% requiring further medical review. The company labeled recent criticisms as &#8220;highly inaccurate and grossly misleading.&#8221;
Price Action: UnitedHealthcare stock is down 0.02% at $505.76 at last check Thursday.

Viral 'Tear It All Down' Post Sparks Debate Over UnitedHealthcare Practices, Alleges Denial Of ICU Care For Comatose Patient

Good Morning Traders! In today&#8217;s Market Clubhouse Morning Memo, we will discuss SPY, QQQ, AAPL, MSFT, NVDA, GOOGL, META, and TSLA.
Our proprietary formula, exclusive to Market Clubhouse, dictates these price levels. This dynamic equation takes into account price, volume, and options flow. These levels are updated every day and shared with all Clubhouse Members, prior to the opening of the market.
We recommend closely monitoring these stocks, and be prepared to leverage potential breakouts or reversals. As always, stay alert and ready to adjust your tactics based on the market&#8217;s pulse to optimize your trading gains. Now, let&#8217;s dive into the stock analysis:
SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust
The SPY is currently trading near our pivotal level of 592.00. For bullish scenarios, buyers will aim for an initial move to 593.73. Sustained price action above 593.73 could lead to a push toward 596.57. If this level is maintained as support during regular trading hours, further upside potential exists, targeting 598.04. Our ambitious bull target for SPY today is set at 599.24.
On the downside, failure to maintain 592.00 as support could see sellers testing 589.71. If downward momentum intensifies, 587.31 becomes a critical level to watch. A breakdown below this support opens the door to 585.75. In an aggressive sell-off, we anticipate SPY could reach our low bear target of 584.68.
Invesco QQQ Trust Series 1
The QQQ is hovering around the critical 517.97 level. Bulls need to assert dominance here, pushing the price higher to reclaim 519.87 as a solid support. If buyers remain consistent, a move toward 521.15 is expected. Continued strength in the auction could result in a test of 522.57, with our high bull target for the day at 523.91.
Conversely, inability to hold 517.97 during the session could shift control to the bears, leading to a retest of 516.58. Should selling pressure intensify, 515.00 and eventually 513.64 could come into play. Persistent bearish activity may drive the QQQ down to the low bear target of 511.53.
Apple Inc. 
Apple is currently trading near 250.39, a key level for today's session. Bulls need to maintain this level as support to pave the way for a rally to 252.13. If momentum builds, we could see further upside action toward 253.90. A sustained rally may ultimately lead to Apple reaching our high bull target of 255.16.
Failure to hold 250.39 as support could signal bearish intentions, driving the price lower to 249.04. Continued selling pressure might result in a move down to 248.12. If this level fails, 246.72 becomes the next target, with a deeper bearish session pushing Apple to the low bear target of 245.58.
Microsoft Corp. 
Microsoft is trading near the 427.36 level. Bulls need to maintain this as a support area to encourage a rally to 428.48. Holding above this level could fuel further upward movement toward 429.25. Should buying momentum persist, we expect Microsoft to test the high bull target of 430.25.
On the flip side, a failure at 427.36 might invite selling, leading to a drop to 426.00. Continued bearish momentum could press the price down to 425.16. If this weakness continues, we foresee a test at 423.81, with the low bear target for the day at 422.84.
NVIDIA Corporation NVIDIA is trading near its pivotal level of 136.98. Bulls must reclaim 137.94 as a firm support level to set the stage for a rally to 138.55. If the buying trend holds, further advances to 139.42 are possible, with our high bull target on the day at 140.28.
Failure to sustain 136.98 could bring bears into play, testing 135.64. If selling continues, the price could fall to 134.56. Persistent downside action might see NVIDIA probing 133.31, with the low bear target for the day at 132.19.
Alphabet Inc Class A 
Alphabet is trading near the key level of 191.45. Bulls should aim to hold this level as support and push toward 192.19. A strong bullish presence could propel the price higher to 193.14, the high bull target for today.
If 191.45 fails to act as support, bears may test the downside at 190.41. A breakdown at this level could lead to 189.57. Heavy selling might result in Alphabet testing its low bear target at 188.73.
Meta Platforms Inc 
Meta is trading around 591.29, a critical level for today&#8217;s auction. Bulls need to hold this level and drive the price higher to 598.17. Sustained bullish momentum could lead to further advances toward 604.50, with the high bull target set at 609.30.
Should 591.29 fail to hold as support, bears may seize control, pushing the price down to 585.73. Continued sell-side activity could test 580.17. If this level breaks, Meta could reach the low bear target of 573.25.
Tesla Inc. 
Tesla is trading near 407.97, an important level to watch. Bulls will aim for an initial move to 413.10. If buying interest continues, the price could rally further to 416.62. A strong session might see Tesla testing 420.70, with the high bull target set at 426.23.
If 407.97 cannot hold, bears may target 403.43. Continued selling could drive Tesla lower to 399.03. If bearish pressure persists, Tesla might reach the low bear target of 390.23.
Final Word: As the first trading session of 2025 begins, today is marked by several key events. At 8:30 AM ET, the market will digest the Initial and Continuing Jobless Claims, providing early insights into the labor market. Shortly after, at 9:45 AM ET, the release of the Final S&amp;P Global Manufacturing PMI for December will offer a snapshot of economic health.
Midday, at 11:30 AM ET, the Treasury&#8217;s 4 and 8 week Bill Auction could impact short-term yields. With many institutional desks still on holiday, trading may lack liquidity, leading to potential spikes in volatility. Traders are advised to exercise caution, manage risk effectively, and stay prepared for rapid market movements. Have a productive session, trade wisely, and cheers to a prosperous 2025!

On Thursday, Xcel Energy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XEL#NASDAQ">XEL</a>) announced that it will extend the operation of its Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant, following a recent license renewal by the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/01/b42767152/xcel-energys-monticello-nuclear-plant-receives-federal-approval-to-extend-operations" rel="noreferrer noopener">U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission.</a>
The federal approval allows the plant to continue operating for an additional 20 years, until 2050, subject to approval by state regulators. This extension is pivotal to Xcel Energy&#8217;s goal of achieving 100% carbon-free electricity by reinforcing the role of nuclear energy in its clean energy transition.
The Monticello plant has been a vital source of clean, safe, and reliable energy for more than 500,000 homes in the Upper Midwest.

Xcel Energy Chairman, President, and CEO Bob Frenzel emphasized the importance of the plant in accelerating the company&#8217;s clean energy journey.
&#8220;As the only 24/7 carbon-free energy source we have, nuclear energy will be key to accelerating our journey to a clean energy future while ensuring we also meet the unprecedented growth in our customers&#8217; demand for electricity,&#8221; Frenzel added.
The NRC&#8217;s decision follows a thorough multi-year review process, including extensive inspections, audits, and technical assessments to ensure the plant meets rigorous safety and environmental standards.
The Minnesota Public Utilities Commission has already approved extending Monticello&#8217;s operations through 2040, and Xcel Energy will seek further approval for the remaining 10 years.
In addition to its environmental role, the Monticello plant is a major economic contributor to the region, providing significant employment and tax revenue to the local community.
Price Action: XEL shares are trading lower by 0.64% to $67.09 at last check Thursday.
