Attorney General Ken Paxton has launched investigations into Character.AI and fourteen other companies including Reddit, Instagram, and Discord regarding their privacy and safety practices for minors pursuant to the Securing Children Online through Parental Empowerment ("SCOPE") Act and the Texas Data Privacy and Security Act ("TDPSA").&nbsp;
The SCOPE Act prohibits digital service providers from sharing, disclosing, or selling a minor's personal identifying information without permission from the child's parent or legal guardian. The SCOPE Act also requires companies to provide parents with tools to manage and control the privacy settings on their child's account. The TDPSA imposes strict notice and consent requirements on companies that collect and use minors' personal data. The protections of these laws extend to how minors interact with AI products.
"Technology companies are on notice that my office is vigorously enforcing Texas's strong data privacy laws. These investigations are a critical step toward ensuring that social media and AI companies comply with our laws designed to protect children from exploitation and harm," said Attorney General Ken Paxton.&nbsp;

Egg prices are once again spiraling out of control in the U.S., with the Producer Price Index for &#8220;eggs for fresh use&#8221; surging 55.6% month-over-month in November and a staggering 80.2% year-over-year, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/12/42467265/stocks-fall-as-producer-inflation-spikes-jobless-claims-jump-what-is-happening-here">official data released Thursday. </a>
The Bureau of Labor Statistics highlighted that this single commodity&#8217;s price jump accounted for nearly a quarter of November's overall rise in the prices of final-demand goods.
While consumers could soon bear the brunt of these producer price increases at their local grocery stores, higher retail prices could translate into stronger profit margins for egg producers. This fact hasn't gone unnoticed by investors.
Shares of leading U.S. egg producer Cal-Maine Foods Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CALM#NASDAQ">CALM</a>) soared to all-time highs on Thursday, extending a five-day winning streak. Year-to-date, CALM's stock has skyrocketed 87%, far outpacing the broader market, as represented by the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>), which is up 28% as of Dec. 12.
Meanwhile, smaller competitor Vital Farms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VITAL#NASDAQ">VITAL</a>) has seen an even greater rally, surging 142% year to date.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Why You'll Likely Pay More For Eggs At The Grocery Store Soon</h3>
When producer costs rise, consumers often feel the effects soon after. 
The PPI, which tracks changes in prices received by producers for their goods, typically serves as a leading indicator for the Consumer Price Index—the measure of what consumers pay.
In November, the CPI showed the average price for a dozen Grade A large eggs in the U.S. was $3.64, marking a sharp 70.7% increase from a year earlier. But even that pales in comparison to the January 2023 all-time high of $4.82 per dozen, when the year-over-year increase hit an unprecedented 150%.
This massive spike in consumer egg prices followed a period of relentless increases in producer costs. 
From September 2022 to December 2022, the PPI index for eggs saw monthly gains of 16.6%, 15%, 26%, and 24.5%, with year-over-year increases exceeding 200% by the end of the year. 
A similar pattern could be unfolding now, foreshadowing even steeper grocery store prices in the coming months.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What's Driving Egg Prices Higher?</h3>
The surge in egg prices can be attributed to a combination of factors, including the devastating effects of avian influenza (bird flu), seasonal demand, and rising production costs.
<ol>
<li>Bird Flu Outbreaks: The U.S. poultry industry has been grappling with ongoing outbreaks of avian influenza, which have led to the culling of millions of laying hens. The reduced flock size has caused a significant supply shortage, pushing prices higher.</li>
<li>Seasonal Demand: During the holiday season, egg consumption typically spikes due to increased baking and cooking. Eggs are also viewed as a relatively affordable protein alternative to meat, keeping demand robust even as prices climb.</li>
<li>Production Costs: Higher feed and transportation costs are squeezing producers, further inflating wholesale egg prices.</li>
</ol>
These compounding factors have created a perfect storm for the egg market, leading to the recent surge in both producer and consumer prices.
The current trajectory of egg prices bears a striking resemblance to late 2022, when producer costs surged for several consecutive months before consumer prices peaked in January 2023. At that time, retail prices shattered records, with some grocery store shelves even running out of stock.
If history repeats itself, the worst may be yet to come for U.S. consumers.

Here's How Much $100 Invested In Trade Desk 5 Years Ago Would Be Worth Today

News about Google is permeating the airways with headlines about the continued rise in quantum computing abilities as well as Congress threatening to make Google's parent company, Alphabet, sell off the web browser Chrome.
This cross current of aggressive news headlines predicts a fair move to either the upside or downside. Let's consider giving this trade 20 days or so to work itself out. Hence, our expiration will be the January 2025 monthly options.
Here's how to structure the trade.
In this situation, I'm looking at a long double butterfly, with a twist.
A double butterfly is ideal for larger anticipated moves into a catalyst like earnings or a spike in news and follow through. This setup is a combination of a long call butterfly and a long put butterfly.
A long call butterfly is the combination of a long call spread, and a short call spread that share the same short strike. A long put butterfly is the combination of a long put spread and a short put spread that share the same short strike. They are positioned as two separate trades.
Here's the ‘twist' part – because my expectation is that the trade action will be volatile, I have adjusted the butterflies to sell more of the options further away – but have made the distance off the strikes closer so that we do not incur margin requirements.
The long call butterfly (positioned for measured upside)
<ul>
<li>Buy to open 1 GOOG 17 Jan 200 calls</li>
<li>Sell to open 3 GOOG 17 Jan 210 calls</li>
<li>Buy to open 2 GOOG 17 Jan 215 calls</li>
</ul>
The long put butterfly (positioned for downside)
<ul>
<li>Buy to open 1 GOOG 17 Jan 175 puts</li>
<li>Sell to open 3 GOOG 17 Jan 165 puts</li>
<li>Buy to open 2 GOOG 17 Jan 160 puts</li>
</ul>
The long call butterfly holds a current debit of 0.27 at this writing and the long put butterfly holds a current debit of 0.30. Together, the total risk is the debit you have paid for both butterflies, but if you have a definitive bias, you can engage in only one of them. &nbsp;
The total potential profit is $10 times 100 (the distance between strikes times 100 as one option controls 100 shares) making the cost of the debit (0.27 + 0.30=.57) times 100. In other words, $1000 -$57 = $943.
It is extremely rare to collect all this premium. Instead, I like to consider 200%-300% profit of the investment. A key part of trading success and consistency comes from managing expectation.
The reason I chose these strikes is because GOOG's support and resistance levels. The relative resistance zone is right around $200, and this latest spike came with lower volume so even if it could run, it may not run far before reversing. The relative support is near $175.
The strategy result provides only two choices to exit the trade:
<ol>
<li>To sell the butterfly that is performing at your target parameters &#8211; particularly once the middle strike is tested.</li>
<li>To sell the both butterflies with ten days to expiration if there is no movement in price, if the chart does nothing, or once your threshold for loss is hit. Mine is typically 65-70% with these positions.</li>

The report indicates that it&#8217;s not clear how many employees will be affected by the new round of layoffs this month. However, a drone flyover of Nikola&#8217;s Arizona factory reportedly showed &#8220;less activity than usual&#8221; and many trucks parked &#8220;without battery packs.&#8221;
Elektrek also reported that Nikola is running out of cash and launched a $100 million offering, but noted that the company has not announced the closing of that offering.

Nikola said in a regulatory filing on Monday that it needs to raise additional capital to avoid negatively impacting operations.
&#8220;We currently estimate that our existing financial resources are only adequate to fund our forecasted operating costs and meet our obligations into, but not through, the&nbsp;first quarter&nbsp;of 2025,&#8221; the company said in the filing. 
The report indicates that Nikola is losing approximately $200 million per quarter. Nikola had approximately $198 million in cash as of Sept. 30.

Rigetti Computing shares are trading lower, pulling back following recent volatility.

When it comes to retirement savings, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/10/41193824/are-you-rich-enough-to-be-in-the-top-1-heres-both-the-income-and-net-worth-you-need-to-rank-amon">hitting the $5 million mark</a> is like joining an ultraexclusive club – so exclusive that less than 0.1% of retirees manage to achieve it.&nbsp;
According to data from the Employee Benefit Research Institute, based on the Federal Reserve's Survey of Consumer Finances, this tiny fraction of Americans have amassed retirement savings that most people can only dream of. Even reaching the $1 million milestone is uncommon, with just 3.2% of retirees achieving that goal.
Don't Miss:

<li>Inspired by Uber and Airbnb &#8211; Deloitte's fastest-growing software company is transforming 7 billion smartphones into income-generating assets &#8211; <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mode-mobile-2">with $1,000 you can invest at just $0.26/share!</a></li>
<li><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/cd-valet-growth">CD Popularity Soars: Over 50 Million Americans Embrace Safe Savings with 5–10% Annual Growth</a></li>
</ul>
So, who are these rare individuals sitting on $5 million nest eggs? Surprisingly, many didn't start with this goal in mind. What sets them apart are consistent saving habits, modest lifestyles and a willingness to keep working – even if only part-time – well into their retirement years. A mix of discipline and smart choices adds up over time.
For context, let's talk averages. Vanguard's 2022 data shows that the typical retirement account balance for individuals aged 65 or older was just $232,710. That means someone with $5 million has over 21 times the savings of the average retiree. Meanwhile, according to the Federal Reserve, the median retirement savings for all U.S. households sits at just $87,000. Half of American families don't have retirement accounts and another 22% have less than $50,000 saved.

This kind of gap makes you stop and think: What are they doing differently?
Many of those who <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42173927/how-rich-are-you-find-out-whether-you-rank-as-upper-middle-or-lower-class-based-on-income-and-other-factors">manage to save millions </a>for retirement start saving and investing early, letting compound interest work its magic over decades. Consistency is key too: while the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/09/41075540/is-your-401-k-balance-above-average-find-out-if-youre-beating-most-savers">average 401(k) employee</a> contributes 7.4% of their salary, often matched by 4.6% from their employer, high-net-worth individuals typically save at even higher rates.
But it's not just about saving. These retirees often diversify their income streams with investments, rental properties or part-time work. They're also savvy about taxes, using strategies to keep more of their money working for them.&nbsp;

The reality is that a $5 million retirement isn't a realistic goal for most people – and that's okay. A comfortable retirement is still within reach if you plan wisely and stay disciplined. This is where a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/can-you-guess-how-many-americans-successfully-retire-with-1-million-saved">financial advisor can make a huge difference</a>. They can help you craft a personalized plan that aligns with your income, savings and lifestyle goals, maximizing your chances of financial security in retirement.
Whether your goal is $5 million or much smaller, the path to a secure retirement starts with taking control of your financial future. And while you might not join the ultra-wealthy 0.1%, you can still achieve a lifestyle that feels rich in its way.
