Loop Media shares are climbing on heavy volume following the announcement with more than 16 million shares traded before the opening bell, according to data from <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw">Benzinga Pro</a>.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy LPTV Stock:</h2>
By now you're likely curious about how to participate in the market for Loop Media &#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. For example, some stock, like Berkshire Hathaway, can cost thousands of dollars to own just one share. However, if you only want to invest a fraction of that, brokerages will allow you to do so. 
In the the case of Loop Media, which is trading at $0.13 as of publishing time, $100 would buy you 769.23 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 ‘go short' 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.
LPTV Price Action: According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw">Benzinga Pro</a>, Loop Media shares are up 11% at 13 cents at the time of publication Monday.

With a net worth of over $130 billion, people would assume that his children would inherit a substantial portion, securing their spots among the world&#8217;s elite. However, Gates has a different vision for his legacy.
Don't Miss:
<ul>
<li>Warren Buffett flipped his neighbor's $67,000 life savings into a $50 million fortune —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/advisor-adv-warren-buffett"> How much is that worth today?</a></li>
<li>Can you guess how many retire with a $5,000,000 nest egg? &#8211;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/retire-5mil-nest-egg"> How does it compare to the average?</a></li>
</ul>
Gates announced in a 2011 interview with The Daily Mail that his three children would "only" inherit a &#8220;minuscule portion&#8221; of his fortune. A mere $10 million each, he specified. This decision wasn&#8217;t a spur-of-the-moment whim but a conscious choice rooted in his belief in the importance of hard work and purpose.
The news of such a small inheritance from one of the richest men in the world spurred widespread discussion about wealth, inheritance, and parental responsibility among the ultra wealthy. Gates&#8217; position became a topic of conversation again during a 2013 Reddit &#8220;Ask Me Anything&#8221; (AMA) session, where a user commented on the philanthropist&#8217;s influence on other wealthy individuals:
&#8220;Many wealthy people I know point to Bill Gates as their idol. Not for his Microsoft days but for his philanthropy. He also simultaneously killed many of my friends&#8217; hundred million dollar trust funds after their parents discovered that Bill was only leaving $10 million for his children.&#8221;
Trending: Will the surge continue or decline on real estate prices?<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/realbricks"> People are finding out about risk-free real estate investing that lets you cash out whenever you want.</a>
In response, Gates affirmed his stance:
&#8220;I definitely think leaving kids massive amounts of money is not a favor to them. Warren Buffett was part of an article in Fortune talking about this in 1986 before I met him and it made me think about it and decide he was right. Some people disagree with this but Melinda and I feel good about it.&#8221;&nbsp;
Despite their <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/23/07/33477504/bill-and-melinda-gates-had-one-of-the-most-expensive-divorces-ever-a-130-billion-net-worth-and-no-pr">divorce in 2021</a>, Bill and Melinda have maintained their commitment to their children's inheritance plans, which remain unchanged. Speculation arose regarding potential adjustments to their children&#8217;s inheritance due to the absence of a prenuptial agreement, but ultimately, their plans have remained consistent.&nbsp;
Gates&#8217; approach to inheritance is not unique among the ultra wealthy. Other billionaires have expressed similar views:
<ul>
<li>Warren Buffett <a href="https://givingpledge.org/pledger?pledgerId=177">plans to give away 99% of his wealth</a>, leaving relatively modest sums to his children.</li>
<li>Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan have pledged to give away 99% of their Facebook shares over their lifetimes.</li>
<li>Sting has stated that he won&#8217;t leave much money to his six children, believing that inherited wealth would be an &#8216;albatross round their necks.'</li>
</ul>
See Also: Are you richer than most people you know?<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-richer-than-most-people"> Here&#8217;s the net worth you need at every age to be above average.</a>
Opinions on this topic vary. Some argue that completely disinheriting children can lead to resentment and family discord. Others believe a moderate inheritance can provide a safety net without discouraging personal achievement.
A Merrill Lynch and Age Wave study found that two-thirds of Americans over 55 now prefer to distribute part of their estate (on average 30%) while still alive. This allows them to help meet family members&#8217; ongoing needs and enjoy seeing the benefits of their contributions. 94% of Americans over 55 say the definition of a &#8220;life well lived&#8221; is &#8220;having family and friends that love me,&#8221; while only 10% define it as &#8220;accumulating a lot of wealth."
It&#8217;s hard to imagine getting backlash over deciding to leave your kids $10 million, but perspectives shift when discussing billionaire wealth. For most people, deciding how to pass on wealth is a deeply personal choice. From the ultra wealthy, like the Hermes heir who made headlines for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/23/12/36203436/the-hermes-fashion-heir-allegedly-seeks-to-adopt-his-51-year-old-former-gardener-who-would-then-stan">wanting to adopt his gardener</a>, to those with more modest means, everyone faces the question of legacy. Having a plan can bring peace of mind regardless of your financial situation. A <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">financial advisor</a> can help you create a strategy that aligns with your goals and values.

On Sunday, Israel&#8217;s security cabinet authorized Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu&#8216;s government to decide on the manner and timing of a response to a deadly rocket strike in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights.
The attack, which killed 12 teenagers and children, has been attributed to the Lebanese armed group Hezbollah by both Israel and the United States.
Israel reported that an Iranian-made missile launched from southern Lebanon caused the deaths, holding Iranian-backed Hezbollah responsible.
However, Hezbollah has firmly denied any involvement in the strike, the deadliest in Israel or Israeli-controlled territory since Hamas&#8217; October 7 assault, which initiated the Gaza conflict. In retaliation, Israeli jets targeted sites in southern Lebanon on Sunday.
Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan suggested over the weekend that Turkey might intervene in Israel, similar to its actions in Libya and Nagorno-Karabakh. 
Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic presidential candidate, reiterated her &#8220;ironclad&#8221; support for Israel's security. The U.S. has been in talks with Israeli and Lebanese officials since the attack, seeking a diplomatic solution. Secretary of State Antony Blinken stressed that Washington aims to avoid further escalation of the conflict.
Reuters reported Monday morning that Israel aims to weaken Hezbollah without triggering a full-scale war in the Middle East. However, the situation remains highly volatile.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">China&#8217;s Crude Oil Imports Struggle</h3>
Chinese crude oil imports continue to decline, indicating a struggling recovery in the world&#8217;s second-largest economy. 
Crude oil imports in China fell by 11% in June 2024 compared to the same month in 2023, amid weak fuel demand and lower run rates at independent refineries. This represents the sharpest year-over-year decline in crude imports since June 2022.
In June, crude imports totaled 46.45 million metric tons, or approximately 11.3 million barrels per day (bpd). The average utilization rate of independent refineries in Shandong fell to 52% in June, the lowest since the pandemic began in 2020, according to local information provider JLC cited by S&amp;P Global. The utilization rate was previously lower, at 43.8% in February 2020.
In the first half of 2024, crude arrivals also dropped, by 2.3% compared to the first half of last year, according to data from China's General Administration of Customs. 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Oil Technical Analysis: Breakout Looms</h3>
&#8220;Oil prices have been trading in a narrowing range, or a triangle pattern, for over a year now,&#8221; wrote Bank of America Technical Strategist Paul Ciana, in a note shared Monday.
A technical triangle pattern is a chart formation indicating consolidation and potential breakout, formed by converging trendlines representing the asset&#8217;s highs and lows.
Bank of America estimates a breakout in crude prices between August and October 2024.
The current wave count links this pattern to the urban legend of the Bermuda Triangle, where things mysteriously disappear. Ciana suggests that a loss of macro risk premium, global demand, and/or supply cut hopes could lead to a decline in oil prices to $63 or $60 a barrel by the end of 2024. 
A weekly close in Brent below $78 &#8220;would look like a bearish triangle breakdown,&#8221; Ciana stated. Conversely, bulls must push oil prices higher. A weekly close above $89 per barrel could trigger a bullish surge to $105 per barrel.
The United States Oil Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USO#NYSE">USO</a>), which closely tracks the performance of the WTI light crude, has risen 13% year to date, yet it is down by over 4% in July.
