Gift giving is a normal way to express gratitude toward someone, but real estate mogul Grant Cardone <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@grantcardone/video/7501896169526693162?lang=en">isn't having any of it</a>. He explained that 99% of the time, he won't like what you give him. While Cardone is far from a minimalist, it makes sense that he wouldn't want to hold on to something that he doesn't like.&nbsp;
He typically gives the gifts he receives to other people because the gifts don't resonate with him. That's why when one of his business partners offered to give him chairs, Cardone was blunt with his request.
"Do not send me those chairs," he stated.

</ul>
Cardone proceeded to say that he would put the chairs in the fireplace on the same day. This brief TikTok exchange provides valuable lessons in gift giving, building relationships, and knowing what's important.&nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">You Can Save Money By Not Sending Gifts</h2>
Cardone told his business partner that he could save $2,000 by not sending him the chairs. While you may not be gifting chairs, all of the money you can save with fewer gifts can add up.&nbsp;
If you don't feel obligated to provide gifts, especially near Christmas, you can put more money toward your financial goals. It's similar to putting on your oxygen mask before helping someone else with theirs. Some people get deep into debt after the holidays because they spent so much money on gifts.&nbsp;
Providing gifts shouldn't set you back significantly. You can opt for smaller gifts or forgo them altogether.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Build A Real Connection</h2>
Two commenters stated that they value kindness and building a connection over gift giving.&nbsp;
"No need to buy me a gift. Just be kind. Call me sometimes. Have dinner with me now and then. As long as I feel we are showing up for each other, that's all the gift I need," one commenter stated.
"Sometimes, the best gift is simply being present. Nothing beats genuine connection," another commenter responded.
A quick phone call can be more impactful than a $100 gift. Not only can a phone call make your friend or family member happier than a gift, but you also save money.&nbsp;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">No Need To Upstage Each Other</h2>
If you give a gift to a friend, that friend may feel inclined to give you a gift in return. This law of reciprocity can get expensive, especially if you both try to upstage each other.&nbsp;
For instance, someone may send a $100 gift to a friend. That friend may respond by sending a $110 gift. Then, the gifts may get more exquisite and expensive. While gift giving can have its benefits, a quick get together may hold more value.&nbsp;
Constantly giving and receiving gifts can also result in a lot of things that you don't use. Cardone doesn't want any part of this cycle, and that's why he adamantly told his partner not to send the chairs.

Money laundering is hiding the origins of money obtained through criminal activity. This is to &#8221;launder&#8221; money and use it without raising suspicion. The money laundering explained process is generally considered to have three stages: placement, layering, and integration. So, let&#8217;s break down each of these stages and define them in simple terms.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Stage 1: Placement (Initial Step in Money Laundering)</h2>
Placement is the first stage of the three stages of money laundering. At this stage, criminals attempt to enter the &#8216;dirty&#8217; money into the financial system. This process can be dangerous because large amounts of cash with a suspicious origin can easily raise red flags. So, criminals try to hide the money so it does not get detected.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What Goes On at the Placement Stage?</h3>
At this stage, the aim is to separate the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/10/41333345/halloween-and-annuities-both-should-scare-you">dirty money</a> from its unlawful source. It may even be deposited in small amounts to escape detection by authorities. The criminals can use that money to purchase other valuables, including jewellery, art, or real estate, which may then be resold. These transactions make it harder for authorities to track where the money has come from.
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Examples of Placement: For instance, a criminal could walk into a bank and deposit several smaller amounts of cash in different accounts, a tactic often adopted to trigger bank governmental regulations about cash deposits. Instead, they might spend the money on expensive goods and services that can be resold later.</li>
<li>Importance of Placement Stage: The placement stage is important because that is the beginning of the laundering process. When they transfer the dirty money into the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/40801901/the-crypto-bros-were-right-how-bitcoin-is-becoming-an-important-part-of-the-financial-syst">financial system</a>, they can start to obscure its true origin. This stage is also dangerous because, if not performed cautiously, it can attract the attention of authorities.</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Stage 2: Layering that Covers the Trace of Dirty Money</h2>
After illegal money is deposited into the system, criminals now strive to create a more difficult tracing path for authorities. That&#8217;s where the layering stage comes into play. In this stage, criminals attempt to conceal the source of the money by moving it through a series of transactions.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What goes on in the Layering Stage?</h3>
Layering is the process of making the funds seem less suspicious by weaving a complex series of transactions. This may include moving the money around to different accounts, using shell companies, or just buying something and selling it and then repeating. The concept is to deceive authorities and make it more difficult for them to track the money back to its illegal source.
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Examples of Layering: Layering, for instance, occurs when a criminal moves funds from one account to another, from that one to a third, then a fourth in different countries.&nbsp;</li>
<li>Importance of Layering: Layering is important because it obscures the link between the dirty money and the crime. Without layering, money would be easy to trace back to the criminals who created it. This is often the stage at which criminals get creative in trying to conceal the origins of the funds.</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Stage 3: Integration that Makes the Money Look Legit</h2>
After layers of money and obscured trails come the final stage, which is integration. During this phase, criminals try to make the money look like it came from a legitimate source. Essentially, it is money that can be used without suspicion.
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Examples of Integration: One of the best examples of integration could be a criminal with laundered money who buys a house and sells it for a profit. The money has been laundered that way afterwards, so it appears to be legitimate. Now, the criminal can spend those profits for both personal and commercial use without setting off any alarms.</li>
<li>Why the Final Step Is the Integration Stage: The integration stage is the final hurdle for criminals. When the money has fully entered the economy, it is almost impossible to tell it apart from legally earned funds. This ending part is the closure of the process of money laundering, making it hard for the authority to trace the money source.</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Trade-based money laundering (TBML)</h2>
In this approach, criminals mask the illegal source of the funds through international trade transactions. <a href="https://amlwatcher.com/blog/trade-based-money-laundering-what-is-it-and-why-it-matters/">Trade-based money laundering</a> refers to the use of trade transactions to disguise the transfer of illegal funds. Criminals may also over- or under-invoice goods or use fake company names or shipments to transfer money across international borders in an unremarkable manner.&nbsp;
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Example of trade-based money laundering: For instance, a company imports goods worth $100,000 but declares them as being worth $150,000, transmitting the additional $50,000 to a foreign account. They use over-invoicing to make it appear to be a legitimate transaction while moving illegal funds. Since this type of fraud involves actual businesses and genuine trade transactions, it is particularly challenging to detect; it is much harder for the authorities to spot a red flag when potentially there is none.</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">In the end:</h2>
Recognizing how money laundering is accomplished requires an understanding of the three fundamental stages: placement, layering, and integration. Every stage is important for hiding the source of funds acquired through criminal activities. When people and organizations understand these approaches, they can take steps to safeguard themselves and join in wider anti-money laundering activities. Financial integrity and compliance start with making sure you stay informed.

Cannabis grower Organigram Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OGI#NASDAQ">OGI</a>) reported second-quarter 2025 net sales of $45.7 million (approximately CA$65.6 million). That&#8217;s up 74% year-over-year, beating the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">consensus of $42.28 million</a>.
Gross revenue increased 79% to CA$102.8 million, the company reported on Monday.
Contributions from the Motif acquisition and organic growth in recreational and international sales primarily <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/05/b45342439/organigram-reports-record-second-quarter-fiscal-2025-results" rel="noreferrer noopener">drove the sales increase</a>.
Organigram CEO Beena Goldenberg noted that the company is &#8220;increasing sales into key international markets,&#8221; including Germany and the U.S.&#8217;s hemp-derived beverage space. 
:We expect this momentum to continue as we further strengthen our leadership in Canada and head into the seasonally stronger back half of the year,&#8221; she said.

Adjusted gross margin was CA$21.9 million, or 33% of net revenue, compared to CA$11.6 million, or 31% a year ago. The increase was primarily attributed to higher average selling prices, product mix, and international sales.
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>The adjusted gross margin of 33% reflects Motif&#8217;s margin before full synergy realization.</li>
<li>Organigram's standalone adjusted gross margin excluding Motif was 37% in the quarter.</li>
<li>Management expects the adjusted gross margin to improve as Motif&#8217;s acquisition-related synergies are realized over the coming quarters.</li>
</ul>
During Q2, the company made &#8220;incremental investments&#8221; into Motif, allowing Organigram to further increase the expected synergy realization to $15 million annually from its prior estimate of $10 million, said Greg Guyatt, CFO.
The company reported adjusted EBITDA of CA$4.9 million compared to a loss of $1 million a year ago. This was primarily attributable to higher recreational sales, including Motif contributions, international revenue, and operational efficiency gains.
Organigram reported a second-quarter net income of CA$42.5 million, compared to a net loss of $27.1 million a year ago.
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>The increase in net income from the prior period is primarily attributable to higher fair value gains recognized on top-up rights of BAT and other financial instruments.</li>
</ul>
In April, Organigram acquired Collective Project Limited for CA$6.2 million. There are potential milestone payments, and potential earnout payments totaling up to CA$24 million for the twelve-month periods ending Sept. 30, 2025, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/04/b44582667/organigram-enters-u-s-through-acquisition-of-collective-project-beverages" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">and Sept, 30, 2026</a>.

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 (SPY)
SPY is presently trading near our pivotal mark of 581.97. Bulls ideally want a thrust upwards targeting 583.18 first. Should momentum sustain convincingly above 583.18, buying interest could accelerate toward our next significant area at 584.68. A successful defense of 584.68 during active trading would set the stage for further elevation to 585.75, with the day&#8217;s ultimate bullish objective sitting at 587.31.&nbsp;
On the downside, failure to maintain the 581.97 area will invite sellers to probe initial support at 580.67. Persistence from bearish traders could intensify selling down to 579.12. If selling remains aggressive beyond that, attention shifts to the sturdy support at 577.87. In an aggressive selling environment, bears may aim as low as our target at 576.62.
Invesco QQQ Trust Series 1 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>)
QQQ is currently hovering near our critical pivot at 506.68. Bulls must assert themselves decisively here, driving prices upward to establish firm footing above 508.22. Should this bullish control persist, the next upside test would likely be 509.87. Strong bullish participation today could carry the auction to 511.53, potentially culminating at our maximum bullish level of 513.64.&nbsp;
Conversely, if buyers fail to solidify 506.68 as a stable platform, bears will likely step in forcefully, pushing prices down to 504.44. Continued bearish dominance could then drag the market lower to 502.65. A break below this area will expose 501.07 as the next test, with extreme weakness likely pushing toward our ultimate bearish level at 499.44.
Apple Inc. (AAPL)
Apple is currently testing our critical zone at 209.81. Bulls must secure and defend this area vigorously to fuel an upward drive to 211.12. Sustained bullish energy would then target the next key area at 212.44. Should buying interest persist, Apple could see prices accelerate to our primary bullish goal of 214.07.&nbsp;
Should bulls fail to protect the 209.81 level during active market hours, anticipate selling pressure taking hold with an initial probe downward toward 208.81. Further weakness would open the door for bears to test support at 207.93, and continued downside aggression could eventually bring the crucial area of 207.18 into play. A decisive breakdown here would lead Apple toward today&#8217;s bearish target at 206.55.
Microsoft Corp. (MSFT)
Microsoft is currently trading around our pivot of 448.18. Bulls aim to firmly secure this level and leverage upward momentum toward initial resistance at 450.26, turning it into stable support. Continued bullish strength could prompt the auction higher toward 453.02, with potential follow-through pushing Microsoft to today&#8217;s top bullish target at 455.77.&nbsp;
If bullish efforts weaken and 448.18 is surrendered during regular trading, expect bearish momentum to immediately target the support at 446.33. Should selling persist, bears would next challenge 444.95, with further downside momentum potentially exposing the crucial support at 442.95. Under significant selling pressure, the day&#8217;s ultimate bearish objective stands at 441.34.
NVIDIA Corporation (NVDA)
NVIDIA is trading close to our significant reference at 121.97. Bullish sentiment needs to drive price above initial resistance at 123.41, establishing a firm foundation there. Continued positive momentum would see the auction reach higher toward 125.21. Persistent buying pressure could further lift prices toward 126.84, with today&#8217;s highest bullish ambition being 128.10.&nbsp;
If sellers manage to breach the 121.97 support, expect an immediate bearish push to test 120.27. Continued selling pressure would lead the price toward the secondary support at 119.44. In the event of pronounced weakness, bears will likely aim lower at 117.86, potentially extending downward to today&#8217;s ultimate bearish target of 116.61.
Alphabet Inc Class A (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>)
Alphabet is auctioning near our reference mark of 157.41. Bulls will seek to hold and fortify this area, creating momentum toward 158.54. Sustained bullish energy today could propel the auction toward our primary upside objective at 160.36.&nbsp;
On the downside, failing to stabilize above 157.41 would invite immediate selling toward initial support at 156.61. Persistent bearish pressure below this area would encourage further downside movement toward the next critical test at 155.59. Heavy selling conditions could ultimately drive prices toward today&#8217;s bearish target at 154.95.
Meta Platforms Inc (META)
Meta is currently positioned around our key support area of 622.01. Bulls must firmly anchor this price level and stimulate upward momentum toward initial resistance at 629.88. Strong bullish activity could then propel the market further upwards toward 635.49. If bullish conditions intensify, we anticipate Meta reaching today&#8217;s ultimate bullish objective at 642.59.&nbsp;
Conversely, failure at 622.01 would signal bearish traders to aggressively pursue lower targets, starting with 615.65. Continued bearish pressure could see sellers pressing down toward 609.30, with potential deterioration below that opening a path to today&#8217;s final bearish level at 604.50.
Tesla Inc. (TSLA)
Tesla is currently trading at our critical benchmark of 322.52. Bulls will aim for an initial upside movement toward 327.59, strengthening their position. Sustained buying support could lift prices further to the next notable resistance at 333.93. A bullish trend in the broader markets today could extend Tesla&#8217;s rally toward the next significant resistance at 340.97, with our peak bullish scenario targeting 346.64.&nbsp;
If bulls lose grip at 322.52, bearish momentum would swiftly target lower supports, initially aiming at 315.93. Should selling persist, expect the auction to push down further toward the important support area of 312.42. A breakdown below here would likely encourage additional selling pressure, aiming toward our final bearish target of the day at 310.17.
Final Word:&nbsp;
Today&#8217;s economic schedule offers limited data, highlighted by the release of the New York Fed Survey of Consumer Expectations at 11:00 AM ET. Additionally, Federal Reserve voting member Adriana Kugler is set to speak at 10:25 AM ET, potentially influencing short-term market sentiment. More significantly, traders will be closely monitoring developments following the U.S.-China agreement to sharply reduce tariffs—from 145% to 30% for the U.S. and from 125% to 10% for China. This easing in trade tensions is expected to significantly influence today&#8217;s volatility and trading dynamics.&nbsp;
Given the potential for sharp market movements in response to geopolitical headlines, traders should remain cautious and disciplined. Prepare for volatility spikes that could alter the technical landscape rapidly. Focus on clear risk management and avoid emotional trading reactions. Have a profitable session, maintain discipline, and enjoy your trading day!
