Smart Approaches to Marijuana (SAM), an active prohibitionist group, has denied allegations of improper communications with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) ahead of next week&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/cannabis-rescheduling">cannabis rescheduling</a> hearing.
SAM's Nov. 25 legal response dismissed the claims as unfounded and aimed at distracting from the proceedings, <a href="https://www.marijuanamoment.net/dea-says-it-didnt-conspire-with-anti-marijuana-group-dismissing-allegedly-illegal-talks-as-gossip/">reported</a> Marijuana Moment.
The hearings, scheduled to begin Dec. 2, will explore the Department of Justice's proposed rule to reschedule cannabis from a Schedule I to a Schedule III drug under the Controlled Substances Act (CSA). The proposal follows recommendations from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the Food and Drug Administration.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">SAM Pushes Back On Collusion Allegations</h3>
The allegations, raised in a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/11/41726679/village-farms-is-only-cannabis-operator-selected-to-represent-weed-industry-at-dea-rescheduling-">joint motion</a> by cannabis company Village Farms International (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VFF#NASDAQ">VFF</a>) and veterans group Hemp for Victory, sought to disqualify SAM and the DEA from participating in the hearings. 
SAM, one of 25 designated participants, countered that the motion was a baseless attempt to smear its reputation.
"This motion is a transparent effort to smear both SAM and the DEA," SAM's lawyers, Patrick F. Philbin and Chase Harrington, wrote.

If you're serious about the business, you can't afford to miss out.
They argued that the claims amounted to a "sideshow" and urged the DEA's Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) John J. Mulrooney to focus on the substance of the hearing.
While SAM denied any ex parte communications after the May 21 publication of the notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM), it acknowledged earlier <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42173101/dea-denies-allegations-of-unlawful-talks-with-anti-marijuana-group">social media posts</a> by its president, Kevin Sabet, predicting that Attorney General Merrick Garland, rather than DEA Administrator Anne Milgram, would sign the NPRM.
Critics allege that Sabet's May 6 post referencing "confidential sources inside DEA" raises questions about transparency. As for that evidence, SAM's lawyers argued the post was made before the NPRM's issuance.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">A Related Case</h3>
The same DEA judge leading this case has recently denied the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42169153/dea-judge-blocks-researchers-motion-in-cannabis-rescheduling-case">request</a> by research company <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42169153/dea-judge-blocks-researchers-motion-in-cannabis-rescheduling-case">MedPharm</a> to participate in the December 2 hearing, citing his limited authority and deferring to the DEA Administrator&#8217;s discretion over participant selection.
MedPharm criticized the exclusion of DEA-licensed marijuana researchers and the inclusion of prohibitionist groups, calling the process biased and undermining its legitimacy. 
Critics worry the imbalance in witness selection could skew the hearing&#8217;s outcomes, despite support from other federal agencies for rescheduling.

Prohibitionist Group Denies Collusion Allegations Ahead Of DEA Cannabis Rescheduling Hearing

Federal Reserve policymakers unanimously decided to reduce interest rates by 25 basis points to a range of 4.5%-4.75% during their November meeting, as they expressed confidence that inflation was moving sustainably toward their 2% target, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/interest-rates">meeting minutes released Wednesday.</a>
Participants highlighted several factors expected to maintain downward pressure on inflation, including diminishing business pricing power, the Fed&#8217;s restrictive monetary policy stance, and well-anchored long-term inflation expectations. 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Easing Inflation, But Core Pressures Persist</h3>
The minutes revealed that nearly all participants believed the latest data supported the view that inflation was steadily moderating, albeit with volatility in month-to-month readings. 
Inflation, they noted, had eased significantly from its peak. However, core inflation measures—excluding volatile food and energy prices—remained &#8220;somewhat elevated.&#8221;
Policymakers also discussed upside risks to inflation, including potential disruptions in global supply chains due to geopolitical events, a faster-than-anticipated loosening of financial conditions, unexpectedly robust consumer spending, persistent shelter price increases, and surging insurance costs across health, automotive, and housing sectors.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Resilient Economy and Labor Market Underpin Consumer Spending</h3>
Economic data reviewed at the meeting pointed to stronger-than-expected growth in consumer spending and overall economic activity. 
While participants generally agreed that the labor market remained solid, they emphasized the importance of closely monitoring indicators for signs of softening, which could influence the Fed&#8217;s future policy direction.
&#8220;Participants remarked that consumption had been supported by a solid labor market, rising real wages, and elevated household wealth,&#8221; the minutes stated. &nbsp;
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Diverging Views on Monetary Policy Adjustments</h3>
The minutes also shed light on varying perspectives regarding the Fed&#8217;s next steps. 
While some participants suggested the central bank could pause its easing cycle and hold rates at restrictive levels if inflation remained sticky, others indicated that policy easing could be accelerated if economic conditions weakened, such as a downturn in the labor market or a notable slowdown in economic activity.
&#8220;Many participants observed that uncertainties concerning the level of the neutral rate of interest complicated the assessment of the degree of restrictiveness of monetary policy and, in their view, made it appropriate to reduce policy restraint gradually,&#8221; according to the November minutes. 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Market Reactions</h3>
The release of the Fed meeting minutes had little impact on short-term interest rate markets. 
Fed funds futures continued to show a 59% probability of another 25-basis-point rate cut in December, unchanged from market expectations prior to the minutes&#8217; publication.
The U.S. dollar index (DXY), tracked by the Invesco DB USD Index Bullish Fund ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UUP#NYSE">UUP</a>), held steady, gaining 0.2% on the day. Meanwhile, Treasury yields saw marginal changes, with the 10-year Treasury yield broadly holding at 4.32%.
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>) – also held its marginal session gains, up 0.3%.

Shares of housing and building-related stocks are trading lower. Building permits and new home sales fell in October.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum offered a sharp rebuke of President-elect Donald Trump&#8216;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/tariffs">tariff threats</a>.
What Happened: <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-11-26/mexico-hints-at-retaliation-after-trump-threatens-steep-tariffs?srnd=homepage-americas">According</a> to Bloomberg. Sheinbaum has suggested that Mexico could respond to U.S. tariffs with a protectionist policy of its own.
"One tariff will be followed by another in response, and so on until we put common companies at risk," Sheinbaum said at a press conference. "The main exporters from Mexico to the US are General Motors (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>), Stellantis (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STLA#NYSE">STLA</a>), and Ford Motor Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>), which arrived 80 years ago. Why put in place a tariff that puts them at risk?"
Why It Matters: Retaliatory action could put the two allied countries in a trade war. 
Trump <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/11/42194139/consumer-confidence-hits-2-year-high-as-recession-fears-fade-stock-market-optimism-soars-to-record-high">announced</a> that he would put a 25% tariff against Mexico and Canada on his first day in office in retaliation for illegal border crossings into the U.S. 
Trump also said it was in response to fentanyl trafficking. But the policy would hurt the Big Three automakers, which have roots in Detroit, Michigan. 
The U.S.-based auto manufacturers have slumped in recent quarters; all three traded well in the red on Tuesday after Trump&#8217;s announcement. Tariffs on automobiles would likely leave Americans paying more for cars.
Mexican stocks also performed poorly on Tuesday; the iShares MSCI Mexico ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EWW#NYSE">EWW</a>) traded down over 3% following Trump&#8217;s announcement.
Trump ally Bill Ackman seemed to not take the President-elect at his word. The billionaire hedge fund manager suggested the tariffs are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/currency-etfs/24/11/42190765/trumps-tariff-threats-slam-mexican-peso-canadian-dollar-only-the-beginning-of-a-sorely-needed-repricing-expert-warns">&#8220;a weapon&#8221;</a> and won&#8217;t be implemented. 
Trump did implement tariffs against China during his first term; the Tax Foundation later <a href="https://taxfoundation.org/research/all/federal/tariffs/">estimated</a> that Americans incurred $80 billion in taxes from the tariffs.
Republican megadonor and Citadel CEO Ken Griffin has a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/11/42056528/gop-megadonor-ken-griffin-warns-of-slippery-slope-in-trumps-tariff-plans-sees-us-returning-to-the-business-of-business">less favorable view</a> of Trump&#8217;s policy, calling tariffs a &#8220;slippery slope&#8221; that will hurt U.S. companies.
Most economists say tariffs are regressive taxes that disproportionately hurt poor Americans while stifling economic growth. Trump&#8217;s adoption of pro-tariff policies is a stark contrast to the free trade policies championed by Republican President Ronald Reagan during the 1980s.

Will Trump Lead US Into Trade War With Mexico? President Claudia Sheinbaum Rebukes Threats

For almost two years now, stocks that tap into the global $15.7 trillion AI revolution have surged so quickly, the media has a nickname for them: the "Magnificent Seven."
But there's a problem with the "Magnificent Seven"—the dividends that they offer investors are extremely stingy, as management prefers to devote hundreds of billions of dollars towards research and development.
Apple Inc. (AAPL), for instance, pays a dividend of just 0.5%. Microsoft Inc. (MSFT)'s dividend of 0.95% is well below the S&amp;P 500 average of 1.29%. Nvidia Inc. (NVDA) pays just&nbsp; 0.03% dividend yield—not a typo—and Tesla Motors (TSLA) and Alphabet (GOOG) pay nothing at all.
But there's a little-known way to claim much bigger quarterly payouts from the AI revolution—thanks to three companies that collect billions of dollars in "rent" from the Magnificent Seven.
AI Income Machine No. 1: Prologis Inc. (PLD)
Headquartered in San Francisco, California, Prologis Inc. (PLD) is a real estate investment trust that leases over 1.2 billion square feet worldwide to some of the world's biggest names, including Amazon.
The company's business of leasing office and retail space to various tech firms is so lucrative, it has a profit margin of 37.4% as of Q3/2024. For context, Apple has a profit margin of 24%.
Not only that, but PLD is growing earnings at a robust clip. The company grew earnings by 34.5% last quarter, and was able to raise its dividend by 10.3% in 2024.
Since 2019, PLD has nearly doubled its dividend while increasing payouts every year. It now offers a 3.2% dividend yield that is more than double the S&amp;P 500… and larger than the yields of all the "Magnificent Seven" stocks combined.
AI Income Machine No. 2: Alexandria Real Estate Inc. (ARE)
Headquartered in Pasadena, California, Alexandria Real Estate Inc. (ARE) is a company that leases 47 million square feet of office and retail space to companies in San Francisco, Boston, New York City, Austin, Seattle, and Washington D.C.
ARE has grown operating income by 299% since 2014—and it's no accident that its rise has been strongly correlated with the tech boom that's unfolded since.
ARE's string of lucrative deals in the tech sector contributed to its monster earnings growth of 592% last quarter—and helped it increase its dividend by 29% since 2019.
Alexandria Real Estate pays a yield of 4.8% as of this writing, which thrashes the average company on the S&amp;P 500 and, like PLD, is a higher yield than that of all the Magnificent Seven companies combined.

AI Income Machine No. 3: Digital Realty Trust (DLR)
As AI processors continue to demand ungodly amounts of power around the world, Digital Realty trust's modular designs to accommodate advanced cooling solutions are in strong demand.
DLR is a real estate investment trust that counts tech giants like Oracle, IBM, Meta, and LinkedIn among its clients—and by leasing property to these deep-pocketed titans, it has built a cash-gushing empire around the globe.
In fact, DLR now has a backlog of $859 billion, as tech giants jostle to use its global data center platform. The company has grown its dividend by 15% since 2019, and offers a 2.57% yield that is highly likely to grow in the years ahead.

3 "AI Income Machines" Leaving the Magnificent Seven in the Dust

Cheating complaints are piling up in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/gaming/24/10/41662426/black-ops-6-shatters-records-call-of-dutys-biggest-launch-drives-60-sales-spike">Call of Duty: Black Ops 6</a> just days after the launch of its ranked multiplayer mode on Nov. 21. 
Activision responded with details about its anti-cheat efforts, but players are voicing frustration over what they see as persistent issues undermining the game's competitive integrity.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Activision Responds To Cheating Concerns</h1>
In a recent tweet, Microsoft Corp.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) Activision said its anti-cheat team, Team Ricochet, is conducting "hourly sweeps" to remove cheaters from ranked play and leaderboards. The company reported over 19,000 account bans since the mode went live and announced improvements to its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/gaming/24/10/41435803/activisions-new-ai-strategy-aims-to-ban-call-of-duty-cheaters-within-one-hour-of-their-first-match">AI systems to speed up enforcement.</a>

"Thanks for your patience as our team continues to fight against cheaters," the tweet stated.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">&#x1f4e2; <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/BlackOps6?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#BlackOps6</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/RankedPlay?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#RankedPlay</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/TeamRICOCHET?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#TeamRICOCHET</a> with an update on the ongoing work to combat cheating in Ranked Play: • AI systems continue to ramp up with code optimizations to accelerate enforcements • Over 19,000 Ranked Play bans since the mode launched • Hourly sweeps to remove…

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Despite these claims, skepticism has been widespread among the community. Nadeshot, founder of 100 Thieves, took to social media to criticize the company, calling the statement "complete propaganda."
"I have played the same cheaters since day one and not a single one has even a scratch on ‘em," he tweeted. "How could there possibly be 19K accounts banned when the most egregious abusers are giving us the middle finger on the leaderboard? Are we crazy? What is going on?"
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">A Longstanding Problem For Activision</h1>
Cheating has been a thorn in the side of the Call of Duty franchise for years, especially since the explosive popularity of Warzone in 2020. Activision has poured resources into combating the issue, from introducing the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/gaming/24/01/36664783/activision-alerts-call-of-duty-players-anti-cheat-tech-will-ban-aim-assist-ranked-play-will-face-d"> Ricochet anti-cheat </a>system to taking legal action against cheat developers.
Before Black Ops 6 launched, Activision promised faster detection and removal of cheaters, aiming to remove offenders within an hour of their first match. Ricochet's kernel-level driver, paired with machine-learning systems, was designed to detect and neutralize cheats such as aim bots more effectively.
"The people behind cheats are organized, illegal groups that pick apart every piece of data within our games to look for some way to make cheating possible," Activision said in a statement last month. "These bad guys are not just some script kiddies poking around with code they found online. They are a collective who profit from exploiting the hard work of game developers across the industry."
Despite these measures, ranked play has already become another battleground for cheaters, prompting many console players to disable crossplay to avoid PC opponents.
