Blackrock Rolls Out Climate Conscious ETF, Paralleling NYC&#39;s Smoky Skies From Canadian Fires

President-elect Donald Trump has chosen former Representative Doug Collins (R-GA) to lead the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/cannabis">U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). </a>
The decision has sparked discussions about how the agency might handle medical cannabis issues, given his inconsistent track record on the issue, as <a href="https://www.marijuanamoment.net/trumps-pick-to-lead-va-voted-against-letting-agency-doctors-recommend-medical-marijuana-to-veterans-before-he-adopted-a-pro-reform-position/">reported</a> Marijuana Moment.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Collins' Record On Cannabis</h3>
During his time in Congress, Collins opposed efforts to expand access to medical cannabis for veterans. Between 2014 and 2016, he voted against three proposals that would have allowed VA doctors to recommend cannabis to their patients.

Collins' views began to shift in 2019. He supported the STATES Act, which would protect state marijuana programs from federal interference, and co-signed a letter with Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), urging Congress to take action on cannabis policy. 
"We believe this Committee and this Congress must act to clarify the rights and responsibilities, relative to cannabis, of individuals, physicians, businesses, medical patients, and law enforcement officials," they wrote.
Later that year, Collins backed a bipartisan bill to protect banks that serve marijuana businesses in states where it is legal. However, he did not take part in a 2020 vote on federal cannabis legalization.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Collins' Stance On Psychedelics</h3>
When it comes to psychedelics, there isn't much known about Collins's stance. However, his shifting views on cannabis policy hint that he could be open to exploring different approaches.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Cannabis At The VA</h3>
VA policy has long prohibited its doctors from recommending cannabis, citing marijuana's classification as a Schedule I controlled substance under federal law. This stance has remained consistent across both Republican and Democratic administrations, despite growing support for change in Congress.
Recent efforts to address this issue include a Senate Appropriations Committee request for the VA to explore cannabis as an alternative to opioids. Lawmakers have also introduced measures that would allow VA doctors to recommend cannabis in states where it is legal. These efforts have gained bipartisan support, but none have yet become law.
Veterans service organizations have pushed for further reforms, including expanded research into the potential benefits of cannabis. Last year, a Senate committee approved a bill to study cannabis for veterans with certain medical conditions, but it failed to advance to a floor vote.

As previously announced, the Company received earlier notices of non-compliance with respect to the Rule on August 20, 2024, May 17, 2024 and April 2, 2024 because it had not yet filed its Q2 2024 Form 10-Q, Q1 2024 Form 10-Q and 2023 Form 10-K, respectively.
This Notice has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company's shares on Nasdaq. However, if the Company fails to timely regain compliance with the Rule, the Company's common stock will be subject to delisting from Nasdaq.
As previously disclosed on October 7, 2024, the Company intended to appeal a determination by the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department to delist the Company's securities due to the Company's Delinquent Filings. On October 8, 2024, the Company timely requested a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the "Panel") and requested that the automatic stay of suspension be extended through the completion of the hearings process and the expiration of any additional extension period granted by the Panel following the hearing. The hearing is scheduled for November 26, 2024 and the request for the automatic stay of suspension was granted.
The Company is working diligently to complete its Delinquent Filings and will provide an update once more information is available.

(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LWAY#NASDAQ">LWAY</a>) ("Lifeway" or the "Company"), a leading U.S. supplier of kefir and fermented probiotic products to support the microbiome, confirmed that it has received a revised, unsolicited, non-binding proposal from Danone North America PBC ("Danone") to acquire all outstanding shares of common stock of Lifeway it does not already own for $27.00 per share in cash. According to the Schedule 13D amendment filed today with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission disclosing the revised proposal, Danone beneficially owns approximately 23.3% of Lifeway's outstanding common stock.
On November 5, 2024, Lifeway announced that its Board of Directors (the "Board") had rejected Danone's initial unsolicited, non-binding proposal to acquire all the shares of Lifeway that it does not already own for $25.00 per share because the Board determined that the initial proposal substantially undervalued Lifeway and was not in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders and other stakeholders.
Consistent with its fiduciary duties, Lifeway's board of directors, in consultation with its independent outside advisors, will carefully review and evaluate the revised proposal to determine the course of action that it believes is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders and other stakeholders.
The Company does not undertake any obligation to provide any updates with respect to this or any other proposal or transaction, except as required under applicable law.
Lifeway shareholders do not need to take any action at this time.
Evercore is serving as a financial advisor to Lifeway and Sidley Austin LLP is serving as legal counsel to Lifeway.

Today, at 10:08 AM on November 15th, a significant trading signal occurred for Coinbase Global, Inc.as it demonstrated a Power Inflow at a price of $280.69. This indicator is crucial for traders who want to know directionally where institutions and so-called "smart money" moves in the market.

Signal description
Order flow analytics, aka transaction or market flow analysis, separate and study both the retail and institutional volume rate of orders (flow). It involves analyzing the flow of buy and sell orders, along with size, timing, and other associated characteristics and patterns, to gain insights and make more informed trading decisions. This particular indicator is interpreted as a bullish signal by active traders.&nbsp;
The Power Inflow occurs within the first two hours of the market open and generally signals the trend that helps gauge the stock&#8217;s overall direction, powered by institutional activity in the stock, for the remainder of the day.&nbsp;
By incorporating order flow analytics into their trading strategies, market participants can better interpret market conditions, identify trading opportunities, and potentially improve their trading performance. But let's not forget that while watching smart money flow can provide valuable insights, it is crucial to incorporate effective risk management strategies to protect capital and mitigate potential losses. Employing a consistent and effective risk management plan helps traders navigate the uncertainties of the market in a more controlled and calculated manner, increasing the likelihood of long-term success
