Tony Robbins is one of the world's most well-known motivational speakers. Throughout his multi-decade career, Robbins has built an impressive financial empire while helping people live their best lives. Now, he is set to enjoy some of the fruits of his labor. According to the New York Post and Gimme Shelter magazine, Robbins recently closed a contract to purchase a multi-million-dollar penthouse in one of Miami's most luxurious skyscrapers.
Tony's new digs will be at the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/12/42294846/hedge-fund-titan-ken-griffin-was-prepared-to-lose-44-on-his-record-breaking-chicago-penthouse"> Waldorf-Astoria</a> Hotel and Residences in Miami, which is still under construction and won't be move-in ready until 2028. By the time it's done, this five-star building will not only be the epitome of luxury but also America's tallest building south of Manhattan. The estimated final height of this 100-story tower will be 1,049 feet and it will dominate the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/content/42564164/miami-real-estate-mogul-patrick-carrolls-guide-to-building-a-six-figure-empire"> Miami skyline</a>.

</ul>
During an interview with Gimme Shelter magazine, listing broker Aura Aragon of PMG Residential said, "It's a very beautiful, unique building and it is changing the city's skyline." Aragon also noted that despite the building not being complete, there is strong demand from the global jet set and 90% of the units are already presold. "Prices start at $3.2 million for condos facing Miami without water views, so there is something for everyone," she continued.
The Waldorf-Astoria name stretches back over a century as one of New York City's oldest and most desirable luxury hotels. So, it only stands to reason that any hotel or residence with Waldorf-Astoria branding will be true to that original ethos. The largest and most luxurious Waldorf-Astoria Miami unit is estimated to be the nation's largest: 33,000 square feet with wine cellars, a private pool with a tiki bar and multipurpose sports courts.

Robbins' penthouse pales in comparison at "only" 7,000 square feet, but it features a private pool and 360-degree views of the Miami skyline and the Atlantic Ocean. He is happy with the purchase. Robbins told Gimme Shelter, "I believe our minds thrive in places that allow us to dream and connect with natural beauty. This new space is the perfect location to witness the ocean's tranquillity while connecting with Miami's vibrancy."&nbsp;
Although the terms of the deal were not disclosed, the New York Post and Gimme Shelter report that penthouses like Robbins' have been selling for $28 million. Robbins' Miami Waldorf-Astoria Residences unit will not be his first or last Florida real estate investment. Gimme Shelter also claims Robbins owns an estate in Manalapan, which is in Palm Beach County.

Robbins is also contracted to buy office space at the Waldorf-Astoria residences for his Robbins-Gupta Holdings business. His partner in that venture, Ajay Gupta, is also rumored to be purchasing a residence at the Waldorf in Miami. That unit is rumored to be a penthouse valued in the $28 million range, meaning Gupta and Robbins will only have a short elevator ride to work.

Motivated Buyer-Self Help Guru Tony Robbins Closes Deal For Multi-Million Dollar Penthouse In Miami's Newest Luxury Skyscraper

Constellation Energy Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CEG#NASDAQ">CEG</a>) shares are trading higher on Thursday after the company disclosed that it secured over $1 billion in contracts from the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/01/b42767710/constellation-wins-record-setting-federal-government-clean-nuclear-energy-procurement" rel="noreferrer noopener">U.S. General Services Administration (GSA)</a>.
These contracts involve supplying power to more than 13 federal agencies and implementing energy savings and conservation initiatives at five GSA-owned facilities in the National Capital Region.
In particular, Constellation has secured a 10-year contract valued at $840 million, marking the largest agreement in GSA&#8217;s history.
Beginning in 2025, the company will provide more than 1 million megawatt hours of electricity annually, with a portion of the energy generated from plant capacity enhancements, referred to as &#8220;uprates,&#8221; funded by Constellation.
Constellation will supply energy to multiple federal agencies, including the GSA, Social Security Administration, and Department of Veterans Affairs, across Illinois, Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Ohio.
Apart from this, the company also secured a $172 million contract to enhance energy efficiency at five GSA-owned facilities in the National Capital Region through LED lighting, HVAC upgrades, and transitioning four Washington, DC, buildings from steam to electric heating.
Construction begins this month, lasting 42 months, with Constellation providing maintenance and training to ensure long-term energy efficiency and cost savings.
Joe Dominguez, Constellation President and CEO said &#8220;Under this agreement, the United States government joins Microsoft and other entities to support continued investment in reliable nuclear energy that will allow Constellation to relicense and extend the lives of these critical assets.&#8221;
&#8221;In combination with the Crane restart announced previously, Constellation and its partners will add approximately 1,100 MWs of 24/7 clean energy by 2028, enough energy to power over one million homes.&#8221;
Investors can gain exposure to the stock via&nbsp;Strive Natural Resources and Security ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FTWO#NYSE">FTWO</a>) and Strive Natural Resources and Security ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UTES#NYSE">UTES</a>).
Price Action: CEG shares are up 6.59% at $238.45 at the last check Thursday.

Could this January follow suit? Let's break down the numbers.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">S&amp;P 500: A New Year's Tradition Of Gains</h1>
The S&amp;P 500 index — tracked by the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) — has a long history of positive performance in January, chalking up gains in 58 of the past 97 years and marking a solid win rate of about 60%.
According to Seasonax data, the index boasts an average return of 1.12% and a median return of 1.62% in the first month of the year.
The best January on record came in 1988, when the index skyrocketed 12.17%, while the worst January hit during the Great Recession in 2009, with a sharp loss of -11.41%. 
Despite occasional setbacks, the odds have historically tilted in favor of gains as the calendar turns to the new year.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Netflix's January Blockbuster: The Stock To Watch This Month</h1>
While the S&amp;P 500 delivers steady gains, Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) has a tendency to steal the spotlight in January. Over the past 20 years, the streaming giant has delivered positive returns in 15 out of 20 Januaries, boasting an average return of 12.64% and a median return of 13.47%.
The trigger for this stellar performance? Its fourth-quarter earnings release, typically announced in the second half of January. Netflix's fourt-quarter numbers often set the tone for the stock, and the reaction is anything but subtle.
In January 2024, shares of Netflix surged by 10.7% following the release of its fourth-quarter earnings, continuing a pattern seen in previous years. Back in 2023, the stock jumped 8.46% after earnings, while in 2021, the post-earnings rally was even more dramatic, with Netflix soaring by a whopping 16.85%.
Netflix&#8217;s best January on record came in 2013 when the stock soared by nearly 80%. On the other hand, the company's worst January occurred in 2022, when Netflix shares plummeted by -28.5%.
For January 2025, the company will report its fourth-quarter 2024 earnings on Jan. 21.

Thousands of port workers may go on strike again as a temporary deal between the International Longshoremen's Association and United States Maritime Alliance reached in October is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41187855/port-strike-ends-after-3-days-retaliers-politicians-breathe-a-sigh-of-relief">set to expire on Jan. 15.&nbsp;</a>
The Details: The current agreement was reached after a three-day port strike in October affected ports on the Gulf and East Coasts. The dockworkers had sought a 77% pay increase over the next six years and workplace protections for automation of port practices.&nbsp;
The tentative deal that was reached increased pay by 62%, but did not address the union's concerns about automation.&nbsp;

A <a href="https://www.usmx.com/assets/content/public-resources/12-20-2024_Statement_from_USMX.pdf">message</a> from the United States Marine Alliance dated Dec. 20 addressed the use of technology and automation in ports.&nbsp;
"​​Evolving port operations and increasing wages and jobs for the ILA are not mutually exclusive. Modern technology is proven to dramatically increase the amount of cargo that can be moved through a port annually. ILA members make more money when they move more cargo and ports need to hire more workers to manage that growth," the message stated.&nbsp;
Harold Daggett, president of the International Longshoreman's Association, hinted at a potential strike in a Christmas Day <a href="https://ilaunion.org/harold-j-daggett-international-president-international-longshoremens-association-2024-christmas-message-to-ila-members-and-their-families/">message to</a> union members.&nbsp;
"Our resolve may be tested again in mid-January as we face another deadline for negotiating a new Master Contract by January 15, 2025. We want to avoid another strike, and hope that our employers represented by United States Maritime Alliance will respect our demands for a fair and decent contract," Daggett wrote.&nbsp;
Why It Matters: Container shipping company ZIM Integrated Shipping Services Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ZIM#NYSE">ZIM</a>) <a href="https://www.zim.com/customer-updates/new-ila-strike-surcharge-for-cargo-moving-to-or-from-the-us-east-coastus-gulf-ports">announced an</a> ILA Strike Surcharge in mid-December for all cargo moving to or from US East Coast and US Gulf ports effective from Jan. 10 in the event of a strike. 
Zim said the charge is intended to help mitigate "additional costs and expenses to ZIM caused by a strike, work stoppage, work slowdown or other labor-related disruptions to operations" and will not apply if a strike is averted.&nbsp;
Ground shipping and freight companies like FedEx Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FDX#NYSE">FDX</a>) and United Parcel Service, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UPS#NYSE">UPS</a>) could benefit in the event of a port strike as businesses would shift toward ground and air transportation of goods.&nbsp;
Investors can also monitor the effects of a potential port strike through the SonicShares Global Shipping ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BOAT#NYSE">BOAT</a>) which tracks the Solactive Global Shipping Index consisting of global shipping companies engaged in maritime transportation of goods and raw materials.&nbsp;

Fuller Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FUL#NYSE">FUL</a>) disclosed its unaudited preliminary financial results for fiscal year 2024, highlighting weaker-than-expected <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/01/b42763305/h-b-fuller-announces-preliminary-fiscal-year-2024-results" rel="noreferrer noopener">conditions in the fourth quarter.</a>
The company now projects fiscal year 2024 net revenue to reach approximately $3.57 billion versus $3.576 billion estimate (prior view: ~$3.581 billion), with adjusted earnings per share of $3.84 versus the analyst consensus estimate of $4.16 (<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/41034261" rel="noreferrer noopener">prior view: $4.10 to $4.20</a>).
The company currently expects Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $594 million, representing a revision from previous guidance, which had forecasted adjusted EBITDA in the range of $610 million to $620 million.
The fourth-quarter performance was negatively impacted by delayed customer orders and weaker-than-expected demand in key sectors, including consumer product goods, packaging, and durable goods distribution.

Additionally, the shift in price increase realization into fiscal 2025 and rising raw material costs, particularly in Hygiene, Health, and Consumable Adhesives, contributed to the decline in adjusted EBITDA.
Celeste Mastin, President and CEO, acknowledged the market slowdown and emphasized the company's response, including new pricing actions, cost controls, and ongoing restructuring initiatives to streamline manufacturing and reduce operating costs.
H. B. Fuller also expects operating cash flow to be approximately $300 million for fiscal 2024, down from the prior outlook of $325 million&nbsp;&#8211; $350 million.
The company will release its full financial results on January 15, 2025, followed by an investor conference call on <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">January 16, 2025, to discuss the results.</a>

Wells Fargo Maintains Overweight on State Street, Raises Price Target to $118

Stock traders and golfers almost universally have one trait in common: they are always on the hunt for a pro tip that will help them improve their game or investment portfolios. Former TD Ameritrade CEO Joe Moglia would certainly qualify as a "pro" when it comes to stock trading. During a recent appearance on CNBC's Fast Money, Moglia offered his opinion on strategies to help traders play the market in 2025.
Don't Miss:
<ul>
<li>This Jeff Bezos-backed startup will allow you to <a href="https://arrivedhomes.go2cloud.org/aff_c?offer_id=15&amp;aff_id=1006&amp;aff_sub=yahoo&amp;aff_sub2=byerscta100">become a landlord in just 10 minutes, with minimum investments as low as $100 for properties like the Byer House from Stranger Things.</a></li>
<li>Unlock the hidden potential of commercial real estate —<a href="https://equitymultiple.com/benzinga?invite=benzinga&amp;utm_campaign=product-promotion-earn&amp;utm_source=yahooFinance&amp;utm_medium=affiliate&amp;utm_content=unlockboost-yahoo"> This platform allows individuals to invest in commercial real estate offering a 12% target yield with a bonus 1% return boost today!</a></li>
</ul>
Perhaps the most striking aspect of Moglia's interview was his admission that he's "the most bullish on the market that he's been in 10 years," which should encourage investors. When the hosts asked him why he felt this way, Moglia quickly said, "The president, we've got someone in there who is pro-business, pro-markets." He also noted how President-Elect Trump has warmed up to Cryptocurrency, a change from several years ago.
The host noted that Moglia manages his portfolio and that more than half of it in "growth stuff, including Crypto,<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42696614/cathie-wood-takes-profit-on-hot-ai-stock-palantir-again-continues-to-sell-block-shares-amid-bitcoin-buzz"> Cathie Wood</a> kind of stuff, tech stocks" before asking him, "How does that align with the retail trader?" Joe responded, "I think today, if you're an individual trader, I don't know how you expect to have good performance if you're not involved with technology (stocks)."
See Also: ‘Scrolling To UBI' — Deloitte's #1 fastest-growing software company allows users to earn money on their phones. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mode-mobile-y2">You can invest today for just $0.26/share with a $1000 minimum.</a>
He also suggested several potential starting points for retail traders when he said, "The<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/11/41756882/magnificent-7-basket-notches-over-200-gain-since-bidens-election-how-did-tech-giants-perform-und"> Magnificent Seven</a> is a good place to be" and suggested tracking Cathie Wood's trades in this sector. Moglia also detailed how he, much like the President-Elect, has evolved his views on cryptocurrency and is now very much in favor of it being part of retail investor portfolios.
He expanded that by saying, "You've got the crypto play, which I think five years ago or two years ago, that may have been overly aggressive, but I think you have to be involved now." Although Moglia's ideal portfolio holdings have changed from 10 years ago, he remains a proponent of the "barbell method," where the portfolio is equally balanced on each side with risk and growth, with long-term holdings in between for balance.&nbsp;
Trending: Wondering if your investments can get you to a $5,000,000 nest egg? Speak to a financial advisor today.<a href="https://smartasset.com/retirement/find-a-financial-planner?utm_source=benzinga&amp;utm_campaign=ben&amp;utm_content=y2_5MilNestEgg"> SmartAsset&#8217;s free tool matches you up with up to three vetted financial advisors who serve your area, and you can interview your advisor matches at no cost</a> to decide which one is right for you.
Moglia also explained how that barbell may be differently weighted and affected by factors such as the investor's age, goals and risk tolerance. The hosts asked him to compare today's retail investor with the retail investor of 10 years ago. Moglia responded that today's investors have better financial literacy and access to more information than they did 10 years ago. He also believes today's investors are more aggressive.
Moglia made another salient point when he stressed that losing money in a bull market is still possible. Although Moglia believes in the Magnificent Seven and cryptocurrency, he stressed the importance of retail investors planning their investment strategy and staying on top of their portfolios. Moglia quipped, "Lots of families spend more time planning vacations than they do their investment portfolios."&nbsp;
