Trump's Crypto Ventures, Draper And Cathie Wood's Bitcoin Predictions, MSTR Estimates, And More: This Week In Crypto

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk, publicly criticized President Donald Trump&#8216;s One Big Beautiful Bill, which advanced in the Senate Saturday night, calling it &#8220;utterly insane&#8221; and &#8220;destructive.&#8221;
What Happened: Musk&#8217;s criticism comes in the midst of an ongoing public disagreement with President Trump, who is a supporter of the bill. Musk&#8217;s criticism is aimed at the sections of the bill that propose tax hikes on a range of energy projects.
These include solar, battery, geothermal, wind, and nuclear energy projects. Tesla, the electric vehicle and clean energy company Musk heads, has significant interests in both battery energy storage systems and solar photovoltaics.
Musk took to X, his personal social media platform, to express his concerns about the bill. He stated that it &#8220;will destroy millions of jobs&nbsp;in America and cause immense&nbsp;strategic harm to our country!&#8221;. 
He also criticized the bill for its perceived bias towards &#8220;industries of the past&#8221;, which he believes will be detrimental to future industries.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
The proposed legislation also includes&nbsp;a new subsidy for coal&nbsp;used in steel production. This public criticism from Musk has led to a strain in his relationship with President Trump. Following Musk&#8217;s comments, Tesla&#8217;s shares fell by 14% after the president threatened to review government contracts awarded to Musk&#8217;s companies.
Despite expressing regret over some of his posts, Musk continues to voice his opposition as the legislative debate over the bill approaches.
Why It Matters: Musk&#8217;s criticism of the Senate&#8217;s domestic policy package is significant given his position as the CEO of Tesla, a company heavily invested in renewable energy. The proposed tax increases on energy projects could potentially impact Tesla&#8217;s business operations and future growth.
The public feud with President Trump and the subsequent threat to reassess government contracts for Musk&#8217;s companies has already had a noticeable impact on Tesla&#8217;s share price. 
This ongoing situation highlights the potential risks and uncertainties faced by companies in the renewable energy sector.

Apple's F1 Surpasses Expectations, Chamath Palihapitiya's Criticism, AI For Chip Design, And Perplexity Acquisition In Consideration: This Week In Appleverse

The past week has been a rollercoaster ride for Wall Street, with unexpected turns in trade negotiations, surprising oil market reactions, and tech giants reaching new heights.
Here&#8217;s a quick recap of the top stories that kept the financial world buzzing over the weekend.
Trump&#8217;s Trade Turnaround
In a shocking move, President Donald Trump abruptly halted all trade negotiations with Canada, sending Wall Street into a frenzy. The President announced on Truth Social that Canada&#8217;s new Digital Services Tax on American tech companies was &#8220;a direct and blatant attack on our Country.&#8221; This sudden reversal sent investors scurrying from risk assets, dampening the earlier optimism.

Oil Market Defies Expectations
Contrary to predictions, oil markets crashed by over 7% to $68 a barrel, even as Iran launched missiles at U.S. military installations in Qatar. Instead of triggering a surge in crude prices, the attack seemed to confirm market expectations of a controlled response rather than the onset of a full-blown war.

Recession Risks Rise
The Conference Board Leading Economic Index fell 0.1% month-over-month in May, marking its sixth consecutive monthly decline. This signals an increasing risk of recession for the U.S. economy, with the index declining in 37 of the last 39 months, one of the worst streaks since 1960.

Dollar&#8217;s Worst Slide in Decades
The first five months of Donald Trump&#8217;s presidency have seen one of the steepest collapses in the U.S. dollar in over three decades. Economic contraction, surging deficits, and political friction with the Federal Reserve have all contributed to the greenback&#8217;s decline.

Nvidia&#8217;s Rise to the Top
Wall Street returned to record highs at the end of June, with both the S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq 100 breaking above their February peaks. Amidst this, Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) became the most valuable company as investor sentiment turned positive and geopolitical and trade risks eased.

Trump Hints at Flexibility on July Tariff Deadline

Trump's Approval Ratings, Tariff Deadlines, Schumer's Criticism, And Defense Budget Shifts: This Week In Politics

Mark Cuban may have a net worth north of $5 billion, but when it came time to split the check with his dad, the math didn't matter.
In a 2019 appearance on "<a href="https://youtu.be/t3DQciFECoY?si=vRlE43Fabbb6sMoI">The Dan Patrick Show,</a>" Cuban shared that his father, Norton Cuban, "did upholstery on cars and I don't think he ever made more than $40,000 in a year." Still, that never stopped him from grabbing the dinner bill—even after his son became one of the richest entrepreneurs in America.
"He was dad," Cuban said plainly. "If we went out to dinner, he was pulling out the credit card no matter what. The minute I said, ‘Dad,' he just looked at me with a death stare like, ‘Don't even think that you're going to pay for dinner.'"
Don't Miss:
<ul class="wp-block-list">

</ul>
And he meant it.
The billionaire investor admitted it felt "weird" out-earning his father by tens of millions, but the old-school respect never faded. Norton wasn't interested in who had more zeros in their bank account—he was interested in being dad.
Cuban's respect for his father runs deep. At 14, he spent time working with Norton in auto upholstery—not to learn the craft, but to learn that punching a clock for someone else meant giving up your time. "His time was never his own," Cuban recalled in a <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/02/28/mark-cuban-built-his-career-using-advice-his-dad-gave-him-at-age-14.html">CNBC interview</a>.

So Cuban did. And when he eventually pulled in $100,000 in a single year, he shared the milestone with his dad, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/topics/25/06/46042314/when-mark-cuban-hit-100000-he-told-his-dad-whod-never-earned-even-half-that-he-just-started-crying">who immediately started crying</a>.

Still, Cuban said the best thing he ever bought his dad wasn't a fancy car or house—it was a trip. That's what stuck.
"My dad is 87. He's going strong, he's a machine," Cuban told the <a href="https://youtu.be/TE4JsAahB2w?si=XKhNcRag7BQzuwCy">crowd at SXSW in 2014</a>. Then he shared Norton's favorite piece of advice:

Norton Cuban passed away in 2018 at 92, but clearly, his lessons didn't go anywhere.
Billionaire or not, Mark Cuban's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45553078/mark-cuban-says-you-dont-need-to-have-life-figured-out-by-22-he-got-fired-slept-on-the-floor-partied-like-a-rockstar-and-still-became-rich">still trying to live young</a>, and maybe—just maybe—pick up the check once in a while.

Mark Cuban Says His Dad Made $40K A Year But Still Paid For Dinner—Even After He Became A Billionaire: 'Don't Even Think That You're Going To Pay'

Investing is one of the common paths to long-term wealth, but it can feel complex if you are just getting started. Luckily, financial guru Vincent Chan recently revealed the simplest way to get started.
Not only is it easy to start investing based on Chan's advice, but <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@vincentchanco/video/7519112459018325281?lang=en">his strategy</a> has a proven track record of multiplying your money in the long run.
The Easiest Things To Invest In Are Low-Cost Index Funds&#8217; Chan explained in the video.
It sounds basic, but that doesn't make it a bad suggestion. Here's why index funds remain one of the most popular ways for people to invest.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why Index Funds Are Easy For Beginners</h2>
Index funds offer investors exposure to a basket of companies. Some index funds contain a few dozen companies, while other index funds contain hundreds of publicly traded corporations. A couple of index funds even have well over 1,000 stocks, offering broad exposure to the market.
You don't have to get the most diversified index fund to get good results. Some funds with 100 stocks perform better than funds with 500 stocks. The main strength of index funds is that they enable automatic portfolio diversification and streamline investing.
You don't have to research a bunch of stocks, know what to look for in a good stock or follow the news every day. A portfolio manager can do all of those things for you as your money grows in an index fund.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Start With Your Tax-Advantaged Accounts</h2>
You can accumulate index funds in any investment account that lets you trade stocks. However, Chan suggests giving preference to tax-advantaged accounts like your 401(k), HSA, and Roth IRA when you make investments.
These accounts let you reduce your tax bill as you grow your investments. Traditional retirement accounts let you reduce your taxes right now, while you won't have to pay any taxes on withdrawals from your Roth IRA.&nbsp;
Trending: This Jeff Bezos-backed startup will allow you to<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/bezos-landlord-100-dollars"> become a landlord in just 10 minutes, with minimum investments as low as $100</a>.
Chan suggests investing any remaining money into a brokerage account once you have maxed out your tax-advantaged accounts. Investors should also monitor any changes the IRS makes to the maximum amount they can contribute to retirement accounts. You also get to make catch-up contributions to your retirement accounts the moment you turn 50.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What To Look For In An Index Fund</h2>
Chan recommends looking for index funds that have low expense ratios. This ratio reflects the cost of holding the fund and having an investment firm manage it on your behalf. Passively managed ETFs that mirror benchmarks like the S&amp;P 500 typically have low expense ratios. It's realistic to find passively managed ETFs that have expense ratios below 0.10%.&nbsp;
Investors can further explore index funds by analyzing their total returns. You can look at how much a fund has returned over the past five and ten years to gauge if it's consistent or volatile. It's also good to look at a fund's asset allocation to see if most of the stocks are in the tech sector or another industry.
Some investors also look at a fund's yield to see how much cash flow they will receive just by holding on to shares. While most investors shouldn't prioritize a fund based on its yield, receiving passive income from investments becomes more valuable as you get closer to retirement.

New To Investing? Vincent Chan Says Low-Cost Index Funds Are the Easiest Way to Get Started

Doctors used to be the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44481583/bill-gates-thinks-you-might-only-work-2-3-days-a-week-thanks-to-ai-but-also-says-legitimately-people-are-like-wow-this-is-a-bit-scary">gold standard of job security</a>. After all, you can't outsource a heart transplant to a chatbot… right?
But according to Elon Musk, even the most elite surgeons might want to start looking over their scrub-covered shoulders.
"Robots will surpass good human surgeons within a few years and the best human surgeons within ~5 years," he <a href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1916573094367625556">posted on X in April</a>.

That might sound like a stretch — but Musk pointed to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46012959/elon-musks-neuralink-implants-brain-chip-in-6th-patient-enables-paralyzed-man-to-move-cursor-play-game-with-his-mind">real-world experience at Neuralink</a>. "It was impossible for a human to achieve the required speed and precision," he said, referring to why his neurotechnology company had to rely on a robot to insert brain-computer electrodes.
Neuralink's surgical robot is designed to place ultra-thin threads into the brain, a job too delicate for even the steadiest hands. Musk wasn't just speculating — he was citing the kind of tech already in use.
And the broader field of robot-assisted surgery has been gaining momentum. Around the same time as Musk's post, Medtronic (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MDT#NYSE">MDT</a>) in April <a href="https://news.medtronic.com/2025-04-26-Medtronic-Expand-URO-U-S-clinical-trial-meets-safety-and-effectiveness-primary-endpoints-for-Hugo-TM-robotic-assisted-surgery-system">released results</a> from 137 live surgeries using its Hugo robotic system. The complication rate was just 3.7% for prostate procedures, with the system exceeding success benchmarks by a wide margin.
So what's the problem? According to actual surgeons: nuance, context — and a reality check.
One American neurosurgeon responded directly to Musk's claim on X, <a href="https://x.com/DrSAdusumilli/status/1916612237558419743">saying</a>:
"This is false. As a neurosurgeon, I promise you that no &#8220;robot&#8221; surgeon can EVER autonomously perform brain and spine surgery or likely any surgeries effectively, appropriately or safely. Too many variables require critical thinking."
Another <a href="https://x.com/dr_francisco79/status/1916600843987546183">surgeon chimed in writing</a>: "The problem is that the human body is not a machine and, in surgery in particular, the unexpected happens all the time."
He added, "At this point, the surgeon needs to use creativity to solve problems, and that is what separates the best from the average."
Another robotic surgeon, who claims to have&nbsp; performed more than 2,400 procedures, <a href="https://x.com/DrSAdusumilli/status/1916612237558419743">posted</a>:
"Misleading!! Robots are not actually doing the surgery; the surgeon is doing it with the console. They are great tools, but not surgeons."

Leaders in outpatient surgery centers echoed those concerns to<a href="https://ascnews.com/2025/04/ai-surgery-debate-heats-up-after-elon-musks-robot-prediction/"> Ambulatory Surgery Center News</a>.
Wes Battiste, CEO of Destin Surgery Center, pushed back diplomatically:
"I admire Elon Musk as an exceptional entrepreneur and visionary. But I would beg to differ with him in regard to his recent post referencing AI replacing surgeons in the next five years."
Battiste emphasized that while AI excels at analyzing patterns, surgery involves subjective decisions and unpredictable anatomy — the kind that doesn't always match textbook diagrams.
"Medicine is called an art and not a science for a reason," he said.
Others, like Michael McClain of Left Coast Healthcare Advisors, warned of regulation lagging behind AI's capabilities:&nbsp;
"There is a ton of work to do in terms of safety, reliability, liability and governance before truly autonomous surgery is a remote possibility."
Robotic systems will absolutely keep playing a bigger role in operating rooms. But for now, most experts agree they're still just tools — not replacements.
Joan Dentler, founder of Avanza Healthcare Strategies, summed up what many doctors were thinking when she told ASCN:
"I'm not sure that the technology will fully replace human surgeons. Perhaps it will augment their abilities."
There are still a few years to go before we find out whether Musk's prediction is prophetic, premature, or just another bold headline. But either way, the conversation isn't just theoretical anymore. Robots are already in the operating room—and the question now is how much further they're allowed to go.

Those remarks align with Usher's closing challenge to Emory's class: "Be a little unrealistic—be a little delusional" when pursuing fulfillment, yet stay patient with the process.&nbsp;
As he reminded graduates, obstacles can "make you or break you," but a relentless mindset can still turn classroom setbacks into platinum records—or whatever success looks like after the mortarboards land.&nbsp;

Quantum Stocks Surge And Stumble: Here's What Happened This Week

In a recent <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/SocialSecurity/comments/1laxdo4/true_or_false/">Reddit post</a> on r/SocialSecurity, a user shared a dilemma that stirred up plenty of advice — and some confusion. The poster's friend is 67, still working full-time, and just sold his house. He hasn't started collecting <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/management/25/06/46056038/still-working-at-69-eligible-for-social-security-should-he-keep-waiting-or-claim-now">Social Security</a> yet, but a bank advisor told him he should claim now — or risk "losing money" because of a so-called "look back" tied to his high income.
Commenters quickly weighed in, but let's break down what's really going on — and whether the advisor's warning holds up.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">At 67, Is It Too Late to Wait?</h2>
No — in fact, he's right on time to make a smart decision.
Don't Miss:
<ul class="wp-block-list">

</ul>
Because the man is already 67, he's reached his full retirement age, or FRA, under <a href="https://www.ssa.gov/pubs/EN-05-10069.pdf">Social Security rules</a>. That means he can earn as much as he wants from working — or from selling his home — and it won't reduce his monthly benefit at all.
Claiming now is an option, but not a requirement. And waiting a bit longer will actually increase his benefit thanks to delayed retirement credits, which add about 8% per year up to age 70.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Will Selling the House Hurt His Benefits?</h2>
This is where the bank advisor's claim gets shaky.
Social Security only cares about earned income — money from working or self-employment — when it comes to calculating any reductions in benefits before FRA. Once you hit FRA, those limits go away entirely.
On top of that, profits from a home sale are considered capital gains, not earned income. They don't affect your Social Security benefit calculation — and there's no "look back" rule in Social Security that would penalize him later.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Wait, Is There Any "Look Back" Rule at All?</h2>
As some of the commenters on the thread mentioned, the "look back" the advisor mentioned probably comes from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/management/25/06/46044386/ill-lose-my-marriage-72-year-old-man-asks-if-hes-a-bad-son-for-applying-for-medicaid-to-place-his-broke-94-year-old-mom-in-a-nursing-home">Medicaid</a>, not Social Security. Medicaid has a five-year look-back period to see if applicants transferred assets below market value in an attempt to qualify for long-term care coverage.
That rule has nothing to do with claiming Social Security benefits.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Could Medicare Costs Go Up?</h2>
Here's the one area where income from a house sale might have an impact: Medicare.
If the sale significantly increases his taxable income this year — with the sale of his property, his annual income this year went from $87,000 to $300,000 — he could get hit with higher Medicare premiums in a couple of years. Medicare uses a two-year income "look back" to determine whether someone owes Income-Related Monthly Adjustment Amount, or IRMAA, surcharges on their premiums.
But this doesn't affect whether or not he should claim Social Security — it's a separate issue.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Reddit Gets It Right — Mostly</h2>
Many Reddit commenters correctly pointed out that claiming Social Security right now is a choice, not an urgent requirement.

He's 67, Still Working, And Just Sold His House — His Bank Advisor Says Claiming Social Security Now Or Lose Money Later. Is That True?

President Donald Trump revealed a peace agreement on June 27 between the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Rwanda, aimed at halting long-standing violence in eastern Congo and unlocking U.S.-backed economic <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/commodities/25/06/46157422/trump-ally-eyes-500-million-deal-in-peace-plan-for-dr-congo" rel="noreferrer noopener">development in the region</a>.
The treaty announcement follows rising international concern over Rwanda&#8217;s alleged support of rebel forces destabilizing mineral-rich parts of eastern Congo.
The agreement comes as part of the Trump administration&#8217;s broader strategy to end global conflicts and facilitate American investment in strategic regions, USA Today <a target="_blank" href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2025/06/27/trump-basks-in-another-peace-deal-this-one-in-africa/84383556007/?tbref=hp" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio played a pivotal role in securing the deal, hosting a formal signing ceremony with Congolese Foreign Minister Thérèse Kayikwamba Wagner and Rwandan Foreign Minister Olivier Nduhungirehe at the State Department before bringing both diplomats to the Oval Office.
Eastern Congo has suffered decades of unrest, fueled by territorial disputes and competition over valuable natural resources like cobalt and copper, USA Today adds.
The DRC government blames the M23 rebel group—which the U.N. says is backed by Rwanda—for thousands of deaths and the displacement of more than 450,000 civilians this year alone. Rwanda denies any involvement.
Senior administration adviser Massad Boulos, who is also connected to Trump&#8217;s family, is reportedly in talks to secure mineral supply deals that could channel billions of dollars into the DRC&#8217;s economy.
The Trump administration sees peace as a pathway to stabilizing the region and boosting access to critical minerals essential for electric vehicles, consumer electronics, and national security.
This latest agreement builds on Trump&#8217;s efforts to broker ceasefires in Gaza and Ukraine.
According to State Department officials, the treaty covers a ceasefire, respect for borders, refugee return, and a regional economic framework—though they caution that real peace will depend on actual implementation on the ground.

Trump Brokers Peace Deal Between DR Congo And Rwanda — Now Eyes Billions In US Investment

"So wild to see her reaction," Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian said on the <a href="https://www.possible.fm/podcasts/ohanian/">"Possible" podcast</a> last month, after ChatGPT vaulted his childhood pencil sketches into vivid starships for his&nbsp; 7-year-old daughter, Olympia Ohanian.&nbsp;
The venture capitalist added that super-intelligence is becoming a commodity.

In the same conversation, Ohanian explained that he photographed "half-finished" cartoon rockets he drew as a kid and let ChatGPT return "full-color illustrations" in seconds.&nbsp;
"I want Olympia using it every day," he said, arguing that access to super-intelligence will soon be table stakes for homework.

Washington began laying the groundwork for that vision in April, when a White House <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/04/advancing-artificial-intelligence-education-for-american-youth/">executive order</a> created a task force to train teachers, fund AI-literacy curricula, and stage a nationwide "Presidential AI Challenge" for K-12 students. The directive also asks the Education Department to publish funding guidance within 90 days and calls for public-private partnerships to stock classrooms with vetted AI tools.
Classroom adoption is already accelerating. A nationally representative survey released in April by researchers at the University of California, Irvine, and <a href="https://www.foundry10.org/news/press/uci-news-uc-irvine-leads-national-survey-of-artificial-intelligences-role-in-education">nonprofit Foundry10</a> found 69% of teens said AI helped them learn something new, while less than 6% said they had experienced negative social or academic impacts from their use of AI.
Still, caution resonates in Washington.

Altman urged age gates and independent safety audits, warning that unsupervised AI companions could mold identity development. Ohanian contends safeguards and exploration can coexist. "I want her to understand this is a superpower that she should have," he said.

'So Wild To See Her Reaction' — Alexis Ohanian, Co-Founder Of Reddit, Uses AI To Turn Childhood Doodles Into Space Adventures With His Kid

The Federal Reserve announced on Friday that all 22 of the nation&#8217;s largest banks successfully passed its 2025 stress test, maintaining adequate capital buffers even under a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/analyst-ratings/25/06/46125160/expert-outlook-bank-of-america-through-the-eyes-of-15-analysts" rel="noreferrer noopener">hypothetical recession scenario</a>. However, analysts noted that this year&#8217;s exam was less demanding than previous iterations, CNBC <a target="_blank" href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/06/27/big-banks-all-pass-less-vigorous-federal-reserves-stress-tests.html" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>.
The central bank&#8217;s simulated downturn included milder assumptions compared to 2024—featuring smaller declines in housing and commercial real estate prices, a more moderate unemployment spike, and reduced overall market disruption.

The report adds that these factors likely contributed to the more favorable outcomes for major financial institutions.
Michelle Bowman, the Fed&#8217;s newly appointed vice chair for supervision and a President Donald Trump appointee, said in a statement, &#8220;Large banks remain well capitalized and resilient to a range of severe outcomes,&#8221; CNBC adds
The scenario estimated roughly $550 billion in total losses across the tested firms, yet all remained above regulatory minimums.
Unlike last year&#8217;s exam, which included steeper declines and more severe economic pain points, the 2025 version omitted deeper stress on private equity holdings and did not evaluate exposure to private credit markets—a rapidly growing $2 trillion segment.
Fed officials offered limited explanation for the shift, only citing past volatility in test outcomes and a plan to seek public input for future revisions.
Notably absent from the 2025 methodology was any direct testing of bank vulnerabilities to private credit. Despite recent warnings from Fed researchers—including the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston—about the systemic risks private credit could pose in a sharp downturn, the Fed&#8217;s stress test documents made no reference to the sector.
Top-tier institutions such as JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>), Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>), Citigroup Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/C#NYSE">C</a>), and Bank of America Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>) were among those that cleared the exam.
Their solid performance positions them to resume capital return programs, including dividend payouts and share buybacks, with announcements expected next week, the report adds.

Big Banks Pass Fed's 2025 Stress Test With Ease—But Some Say It Was Too Easy

<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/retirement-income-calculator">Retiring early </a>could be a dream for many. Allison Esposito Medina was one of many who was able to retire early.
Before re-entering the workforce years later, Medina wanted to make sure that she focused on a work-life balance that fit her new lifestyle.
What Happened: Medina lasted only <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-retirement-plans">five months in retirement,</a> but a decision to re-join the workforce needed to accommodate the new hobbies and activities the then 40-year-old had taken up.
&#8220;I worked at Foursquare and Google, and in 2014, I started my business, Tech Ladies. My goal was to help women in the industry find jobs, negotiate and network,&#8221; Medina wrote for&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/02/15/40-year-old-who-retired-and-only-lasted-5-months-it-was-boring.html?forYou=true" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">CNBC</a>.
Median sold Tech Ladies in 2021, which came after a decade working in the New York tech scene.
After the sale of the company, helping with the transition and realizing she had enough saved, Medina decided to retire early at the age of 40.
Medina&#8217;s retirement lasted only five months. During retirement, Medina worked on a flower garden, started exercising, did volunteer work and went for walks with new friends made during a move from New York City to New Jersey.
&#8220;Five months in, my quality of life had vastly improved. But I had mixed feelings, and at time it felt boring.&#8221;
Medina decided to re-join the workforce with her business idea to launch an online community for Gen Z and Millenial pet owners.

Why It&#8217;s Important:&nbsp;Medina&#8217;s trip back to the workforce this time around has been different, putting an emphasis on work-life balance while founding&nbsp;<a href="https://www.juniperpet.co/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Juniper</a>.
&#8220;I was proud of the mission, but I never exercised or took a vacation, and I rarely saw friends,&#8221; Medina recalled of her previous time working before retirement.
Medina shared the most valuable lesson she has learned, thanks to previously having an obsession with time and energy while running Tech Ladies.
&#8220;The most valuable lesson I learned is that you shouldn&#8217;t wait to do the things you dream about in retirement.&#8221;
Medina&#8217;s three questions she asked herself before founding Juniper were:
<ol start="1" class="wp-block-list">
<li>If you didn&#8217;t have to work, what is on your list of things you&#8217;d do that brings you joy?</li>
<li>How many hours a week would it take to actually do it?</li>
<li>What can you take off your plate to give yourself more time and energy to do it?</li>
</ol>
Medina said it&#8217;s important to &#8220;push yourself to be honest&#8221; about how much time you have.
Juniper was launched by Media in November 2023 after she started working on it in August of the same year.
Now, Medina works 40 hours instead of 80 in her past life. Her non-negotiables for work-life balance include having time to walk her dog, exercising and cooking every day, not skipping vacations and having weekends off.
&#8220;I want to build another successful company, but my definition of success now is accomplishing my goals without sacrificing my health, or the things that bring me joy and purpose.&#8221;

She Retired At 40, Got Bored, And Came Back Smarter: Her 3 Millionaire Rules For A Life That Actually Works

Bill Gates, co-founder of Microsoft, could have been the world&#8217;s first trillionaire if he had retained his original company stock.
What Happened: The Forbes projection comes in light of Gates&#8217; public commitment to donate nearly all of&nbsp;his remaining wealth and wind&nbsp;down the Gates Foundation by&nbsp;2045. 
Gates, along with his ex-wife Melinda, have already donated $60.2 billion to the foundation since its inception in 2000, making them the second-largest philanthropists in America. 
Despite their philanthropic efforts, they remain among the world&#8217;s wealthiest, with an estimated net worth of&nbsp;$113 billion and $30.4 billion, respectively.
According to Forbes&#8217; <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/mattdurot/2025/05/09/bill-gates-would-be-a-trillionaire-if-hed-kept-all-his-microsoft-stock/">calculations</a>, if the Gates had not embarked on their philanthropic journey and retained all their Microsoft shares,&nbsp;their combined fortune would be&nbsp;a staggering&nbsp;$1.5 trillion. 
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/22/10/29194457/melinda-gates-on-divorce-with-bill-gates-unbelievably-painful-i-just-couldnt-stay-in-that-marriage-2">Melinda Gates On Divorce With Bill Gates: &#8216;I Just Couldn&#8217;t Stay In That Marriage&#8217;</a>
In this hypothetical&nbsp;scenario,&nbsp;Gates alone would likely be&nbsp;the first trillionaire, with a fortune of $1.2 trillion&nbsp;even after his 2021 divorce.&nbsp;
This sum would be over&nbsp;triple Elon Musk&#8216;s peak net&nbsp;worth. Melinda would be worth&nbsp;an estimated $300 billion, potentially&nbsp;making her the world&#8217;s third-richest person.
In reality, Gates has&nbsp;systematically sold and donated shares,&nbsp;diversifying his portfolio. Currently,&nbsp;his Microsoft ownership is an&nbsp;estimated 0.9 percent stake, valued&nbsp;at $28 billion. Melinda&#8217;s Microsoft&nbsp;shares are an estimated $&nbsp;380,000.
Why It Matters: The Gates have made significant contributions to global health and poverty alleviation through the Gates Foundation, distributing an estimated $47.7 billion.&nbsp;
Melinda has also launched Pivotal&nbsp;Philanthropies and committed an additional&nbsp;$12.5 billion for women's and&nbsp;girls' rights. Both remain committed&nbsp;to the Giving Pledge, which&nbsp;they co-founded with Berkshire Hathaway&#8217;s&nbsp;chairperson Warren Buffett in 2010.&nbsp;
Their philanthropic efforts have had a significant impact on global issues, despite the potential personal wealth they could have amassed.

Bill Gates Could've Been The World's First Trillionaire — and Richer Than Elon Musk — If He'd Kept His Microsoft Stock

At 55, one school bus driver is weighing a tough decision that many people approaching <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/06/46024300/is-your-retirement-plan-just-a-hope-and-a-401-k">retirement</a> can relate to: Should she stick with a job she enjoys, or switch to a new one that offers a pension and free health insurance?
She shared her dilemma in a <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/retirement/comments/1lexwqs/struggling_with_new_job_offer_for_retirement/">Reddit forum</a>, explaining that the job she's considering offers something her current employer doesn't — a pension.&nbsp;
"The pension will take me 7 years to become fully vested," she wrote, adding that after 10 years, she'd qualify for a higher payout. "That would put me right at 65, and I could retire with the small pension and [Social Security]."

The catch? Switching jobs means starting over. And while the new job offers a lifetime pension, it also requires a longer commute, working summers, and losing some financial benefits she currently depends on.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What She Has Now</h2>
Right now, she drives a school bus part time. The pay is higher per hour, and the job comes with some perks that aren&#8217;t always obvious — like unemployment benefits during school breaks. She also contributes to a 401(k) and relies on her husband's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/health-care/25/06/46013434/dave-ramsey-asks-why-does-this-dang-medicare-feel-so-confusing-blames-government-then-offers-seniors-a-clear-path-forward">health insurance</a>.
Importantly, she enjoys her current role and isn't looking to leave because of dissatisfaction. "I enjoy my job and have nothing against my current employer at all," she said. "What pulls me toward this other employer is the pension and free health insurance for me, which means the hubby can drop me from his health insurance plan."

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What the New Job Offers</h2>
The new job would still involve driving a bus, but with a few key changes. She'd go from guaranteed four-hour days to six-hour days. Even though the hourly pay is lower, the increased hours could mean a slightly higher paycheck overall.
The real draw is the pension and free health coverage. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/02/43432805/workers-long-for-the-day-pensions-make-a-comeback-83-say-everyone-deserves-a-pension-not-just-public-employees">Pensions</a> can be hard to come by these days, especially ones that offer a fixed monthly payment for life. But to earn that benefit, she'd need to stay for at least seven years. To maximize it, 10 years. That would mean working full time, through summers and breaks, until she's 65.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What Others Are Saying</h2>
Comments on her post were mixed. Some encouraged her to take the pension while she still has time to vest, pointing out that "pensions are incredibly scarce these days, especially ones that have a lifetime payout." Others urged caution. "If it were me… I think I'd stay at the job I love and just try to max my 401(k) contributions."

One user raised a practical concern: pensions may not always be as secure as they seem. "They depend on the stability of your company and their competency level to keep your, and others, contributions safe," they said.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">No Easy Answer</h2>
This isn't a straightforward financial decision — it's a personal one. It involves weighing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44459879/suze-orman-warns-the-absolute-worst-thing-that-you-can-be-doing-right-now-is-panic-because-it-hurts-long-term-security">long-term security</a> against current comfort, and guaranteed income against the flexibility of a 401(k). While a pension sounds appealing, she's also aware that switching jobs at this stage of life comes with trade-offs.
For now, it seems that she's leaning toward staying where she is and increasing her retirement contributions. But as she put it, "I have time to think it over… but not forever."

Should She Start Over For A Pension? A 55-Year-Old School Bus Driver Weighs Guaranteed Retirement Pay Against Job Comfort

Michael Intrator, the CEO of AI startup&nbsp;CoreWeave, has seen his net worth double to a whopping $10 billion in a mere 12 days. This rapid wealth accumulation is unprecedented in the tech industry.
What Happened:&nbsp;CoreWeave&#8217;s stock has skyrocketed by nearly 300%&nbsp;in the last two months. This followed a rather unimpressive initial public offering (IPO) in March. 
The stock&#8217;s surge has greatly enriched its shareholders, including Intrator, a 56-year-old former hedge fund manager.
Bloomberg notes that Intrator&#8217;s net worth has soared&nbsp;from $5 billion to $10&nbsp;billion in less than two weeks. This is an extraordinary achievement, given that it usually takes a billionaire over three years to double their wealth.
Despite CoreWeave&#8217;s initial lackluster performance on the stock market, Intrator remained steadfast in his belief in the company&#8217;s potential to &#8220;generate enormous value.&#8221;
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/06/45712312/michael-saylor-called-scaramucci-from-a-yacht-and-it-changed-the-ending-of-his-book">Michael Saylor Called Scaramucci From a Yacht and It Changed the Ending of His Book</a>
CoreWeave&#8217;s other co-founders have also seen their wealth grow significantly. Bloomberg reports that the company&#8217;s chief strategy officer, Brian Venturo, is now worth $6.4 billion, while chief development officer, Brannin McBee, is worth $4.7 billion, <a href="https://fortune.com/2025/06/27/billionaire-ai-company-coreweave-ceo-double-wealth-five-to-ten-billion-michael-intrator-no-tech-background/">reports</a> Fortune.
The company&#8217;s success can be attributed to securing major&nbsp;tech companies as clients and&nbsp;partners,&nbsp;including Nvidia, OpenAI, and Microsoft.&nbsp;
Interestingly, all three founders come from finance backgrounds, not tech, highlighting that breaking into AI does not necessarily require a tech background.
Why It Matters: CoreWeave&#8217;s success story is a testament to the immense potential of AI technology and its ability to generate wealth rapidly. 
The company&#8217;s ability to secure partnerships with major tech companies, despite its founders&#8217; non-tech backgrounds, underscores the importance of strategic alliances and business acumen in the tech industry. 
This could potentially inspire more finance professionals to venture into the tech industry, particularly AI, thereby fostering greater diversity and innovation in the sector.

Here's How This AI CEO Just Doubled His Net Worth To $10 Billion—In Just Only 12 Days

Legendary Investor Warren Buffett had an extreme fear of public speaking in his younger days. If it weren&#8217;t for a $100 college course he took when he was 20 years old, the &#8220;Oracle of Omaha&#8221; might have shorted his own success.
What To Know: Buffett had an extreme fear of public speaking up until the age of 20, according to <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2019/03/21/billionaire-warren-buffett-says-a-100-dollar-course-had-the-biggest-impact-on-his-success.html?utm_content=makeit&amp;utm_medium=Social&amp;utm_source=Facebook&amp;fbclid=IwAR214Hln3Hmu8MUDHCWsWv1Ogxu7wi-TK9fQr8Yo3_bw1ds91gwRc5W4COk#Echobox=1675694538">CNBC</a>.
"Just the thought of it made me physically ill.&nbsp;I would literally throw up,"&nbsp;Buffett told CNBC contributor and&nbsp;"Getting There" author&nbsp;Gillian Zoe Segal.
In his early college days, Buffett, chair and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>), would select certain classes to avoid having to present in front of his classmates. Furthermore, he designed his schedule so he wouldn't have to be in front of crowds.
He told Segal that he could barely even introduce himself whenever he found himself in a situation where he was required to speak in front of others. 
Buffett set out to change that when he saw an ad for a Dale Carnegie public speaking course at Columbia's Business School. He signed up and even wrote a check to cover the costs, but shortly after, he called it off.
"I just couldn&#8217;t do it. I was that terrified," the Berkshire CEO&nbsp;said.

Not long after Buffett graduated, he came across the exact same ad in the paper and set out to sign himself up again, with one key difference in his approach.
"This time, I handed the instructor $100 in cash. I knew if I gave him the cash I&#8217;d show up," Buffett&nbsp;said.&nbsp;
He did show up, and he discovered that about 30 other people had the same problem&nbsp;he did, he said: "We all had trouble saying our&nbsp;own names."
By the time he finished the 12-week course, he was ready to put his skills to the test. He applied for a teaching position at the University of Omaha right away, knowing that if he didn't keep at it, he would risk giving up&nbsp;the progress he had made in the public speaking class.&nbsp;
"I just kept doing it, and now you can&#8217;t stop me from talking,"&nbsp;Buffett told Segal with a laugh.
The report indicates that the Berkshire CEO&nbsp;credits much of his&nbsp;<a href="http://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/23/02/30740695/how-warren-buffetts-fund-manager-turned-70k-into-264m-in-a-perfect-world-nobody-would-know-about-t">success</a>&nbsp;to the public speaking class, which is&nbsp;a lot of praise for someone as successful as the Oracle himself.
According to <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/billionaires/">Bloomberg</a>, Buffett is the eighth-richest person in the world, with an estimated net worth of $152 billion at the time of writing. His fund has historically outperformed the S&amp;P 500, delivering nearly 20% compounded annual returns since Buffett took control of Berkshire in 1965.

Warren Buffett Would Probably Still 'Literally Throw Up' When Speaking In Front Of Crowds If He Didn't Take This $100 College Course

A 35-year-old nurse from Montreal recently stunned listeners of &#8220;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MU9MAmr4VAQ">The Ramsey Show</a>&#8221; when he called in to share that he&#8217;s carrying a total of $1.8 million in debt, despite cutting out everything <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/06/46067665/the-real-budget-killer-isnt-big-purchases-its-the-20-here-20-there-habits-that-quietly-empty-your-account">from snacks to grooming</a>.
&#8220;I had my aha moment when I saw $22,000 going out in one month after doing a budget,&#8221; he told Dave Ramsey and co-host Rachel Cruze. With one child already and another on the way, he&#8217;s desperate to make changes, but feels stuck in a financial hole that&#8217;s quickly closing in.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Triplex, Two Hondas And A Cousin&#8217;s Loan</h2>
The caller said he owes $680,000 on a triplex currently listed for $950,000, and another $590,000 on his family home, which he says is worth about $750,000. On top of that, he has two electric Hondas, each with loans of nearly $70,000, plus $35,000 in credit card and student loan debt. But the most striking part is that he borrowed $350,000 from a cousin to use as a down payment and to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/what-is-flipping-houses">renovate both properties</a>.
His household brings in $110,000 to $120,000 a year before taxes. About half of that comes from his wife, who will be going on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/02/43716980/i-think-you-could-probably-freaking-struggle-through-dave-ramsey-shocked-by-new-mom-whose-husband-makes-975000-but-wont-let-her-quit-job">maternity leave</a> in 12 weeks. She&#8217;ll be receiving 70% of her salary for a year.
&#8220;I cut out everything from potato chips to haircuts, literally anything I could to curb the expenses,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I wish I could do more jobs a day, but my doctor says that because I&#8217;m bipolar, I need to have a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/03/44157414/mark-cuban-once-shared-a-powerful-yet-humbling-take-on-work-life-balance-here-are-5-more-eye-opening-statements-from-jeff-bezos-jamie-dimon-and-elon-musk-that-will-make-you-rethink-your-lif">healthy work-life balance</a>.&#8221;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Ramsey And Cruze Push Back Hard</h2>
Ramsey and Cruze went straight to the point. &#8220;You sound like you&#8217;re walking around under a 400-pound weight,&#8221; Ramsey told him. &#8220;You sound scared to death.&#8221;
Ramsey urged the caller to sell the triplex immediately, ditch the expensive cars, and stop making financial decisions based on trying to keep his wife happy.
&#8220;You don&#8217;t get to be an investor in triplexes. That thing&#8217;s got to be priced in such a way that your real estate agent can sell it and get it gone,&#8221; Ramsey said. &#8220;We&#8217;re not worried about the environment right now. The environment I&#8217;m worried about is not being broke. Electric Hondas are gone. Bye-bye. We&#8217;re getting cheap cars.&#8221;
And regarding maternity leave, it&#8217;s a luxury they can&#8217;t afford: &#8220;I don&#8217;t really care what the Canadian government says. She gets to go to work. She&#8217;s broke. Broke people work.&#8221;

When the caller said his wife was only willing to sell everything except the house and the cars, Ramsey replied, &#8220;You've been running around trying to shovel things in her direction to keep her happy, like she's your child or something. That's not working.&#8221;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Way Out Will Be Hard</h2>
Ramsey said that with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/01/42771996/this-is-unhinged-a-reddit-user-asks-others-for-extreme-acts-of-frugality-they-witnessed-and-the-replies-are-shockingly-entertaining">intense budgeting</a> and lifestyle changes, the couple could eventually dig out. &#8220;Mathematically, I can get you out if you did everything I told you to do. But I don&#8217;t know if you&#8217;ll do it or not.&#8221;
Cruze added that their entire life will have to look &#8220;completely different&#8221; in the next three to six months if they want to survive this.

케이티 허버티(Katy Huberty)는 모건 스탠리의 글로벌 리서치 책임자로, 인공지능(AI) 도입으로 인해 상당한 이점을 얻을 가능성이 있는 20개의 주식을 주목했다.
무슨 일이 있었나: 허버티는 현재 AI 도입을 위한 &#8220;전환점&#8221;에 있다고 언급했다. 그녀는 AI를 활용하여 수익을 증대시키는 기업들이 상당한 혜택을 누릴 준비가 되어 있다고 강조했다.
허버티는 이번 달 초 <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/ai-adopters-stocks-to-buy-beneficiaries-pricing-power-morgan-stanley-2025-1#home-depot-1">비즈니스 인사이더</a>와의 인터뷰에서 강력한 가격 결정력을 가진 기업, 즉 높은 수요로 인해 가격을 유지하거나 인상할 수 있는 기업들이 가장 큰 수익성 향상을 경험할 것이라고 지적했다.
그녀는 &#8220;가격 결정력은 기업들이 이러한 투자로 인한 생산성 향상을 고객에게 전가하지 않고 유지할 수 있게 해 줄 것&#8221;이라고 설명했다.
또한, 허버티는 그녀의 팀이 고객 노트에서 작성한 주식 목록을 언급했다. 이 주식들은 모두 AI를 도입하고 높은 가격 결정력을 가진 기업들로, 시가총액이 200억 달러 이상이다. 목록에는 홈디포(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HD#NYSE">HD</a>), 써모 피셔 사이언티픽(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TMO#NYSE">TMO</a>), 인튜이티브 서지컬(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ISRG#NASDAQ">ISRG</a>), 디어 앤 컴퍼니(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DE#NYSE">DE</a>), 스포티파이 테크놀로지(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPOT#NYSE">SPOT</a>), 메르카도리브레(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MELI#NASDAQ">MELI</a>), 메리어트 인터내셔널(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MAR#NASDAQ">MAR</a>), 힐튼 월드와이드(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HLT#NYSE">HLT</a>), 파카(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PCAR#NASDAQ">PCAR</a>), 슐럼버거 NV(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SLB#NYSE">SLB</a>), 존슨 컨트롤스 인터내셔널 PLC(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JCI#NYSE">JCI</a>), 엑슨 엔터프라이즈(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AXON#NASDAQ">AXON</a>), 쿠팡(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CPNG#NYSE">CPNG</a>), 베이커 휴즈(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BKR#NASDAQ">BKR</a>), 익스피리언 PLC, 델타 항공(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>), 아이덱스 래버러토리스(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" style="font-size: revert;" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IDXX#NASDAQ">IDXX</a>), 유나이티드 에어라인 홀딩스(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" style="font-size: revert;" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UA#NASDAQ">UA</a>) 및 할리버튼(NYSE:<a class="ticker" style="font-size: revert;" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HAL#NYSE">HAL</a>) 등이 포함되어 있다.
왜 중요한가요: AI 도입은 최근 몇 년간 뜨거운 주제가 되었으며, 많은 산업에서 비즈니스 운영을 혁신하고 수익성을 높일 수 있는 잠재력을 인식하고 있다.
허버티가 이러한 20개 주식을 지적한 것은 비즈니스 환경에서 AI의 중요성이 커지고 있음을 강조한다. AI 기술을 성공적으로 활용하는 기업들은 경쟁 우위를 얻을 수 있으며, 특히 강력한 가격 결정력을 가진 기업들이 그렇다.
이러한 발전은 투자 전략의 변화를 시사할 수 있으며, 투자자들이 강력한 AI 도입을 가진 기업들을 유망한 투자 기회로 보게 될 가능성이 있다.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">파산 블록</h2>
모든 것을 축하할 수 있는 원스톱 상점인 파티 시티 홀드코(Party City Holdco Inc.)가 사업 정리를 하고 있다. 회사 내 700개 매장에서 폐업 세일을 진행하고 있다.
파티 시티가 2년 만에 챕터 11 파산 보호를 신청한 것은 이번이 두 번째이다. 2023년에는 구조 조정 과정을 통해 거의 10억 달러에 달하는 부채가 제거되었다. 이는 이 회사를 계속 유지하기에 충분하지 않았다.
파티 시티는 또한 인플레이션과 같은 심각한 소동에 직면했으며, 이 체인의 창립자인 스티브 맨델(Steve Mandell)과의 뉴요 포스트  <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/01/25/party-citys-founder-blames-bankruptcy-on-private-equity-firms/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">인터뷰</a>에 따르면 조잡한 리더십에 직면했다.
파티 시티는 캐피털 그룹(Capital Group), 데이비슨 켐프너(Davidson Kempner) 및 실버 포인트 캐피털(Silver Point Capital)과 같은 투자 회사들이 소유하고 있다.
뉴저지 주 우드클리프 레이크에 본사를 둔 이 회사는 텍사스 남부 지역의 미국 파산 법원에 챕터 11을 신청했다.
파티 시티의 직원 12,000명 중 95% 이상이 대규모 청산 작업을 돕기 위해 <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2024/12/20/business/party-city-shut-down/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2월 28일</a>까지 남아 있을 것이다.
파티 시티의 폐업 소식은 파산한 소매업체 빅랏츠(OTCPK:<a class="items-end ticker-link-wrapper inline-flex" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/biggq" target="_blank" rel="dofollow noopener" aria-label="Go to Quote Page for BIGGQ">BIGGQ</a>)가 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/12/42624759/big-lots-holds-liquidation-sales-analyst-pegs-competitor-as-major-beneficiary-market-share-capture-opportunity" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">구매자를 찾지 못한 지</a> 불과 며칠 만에 나왔다.
이 소매업체는 지난 9월 사모펀드 넥서스 캐피털 매니지먼트(Nexus Capital Management)에 자산을 매각할 예정이라고 발표한 바 있다. 그러나 이제 거래는 거의 불가능하다.
진정한 정리 세일 정신으로 회사는 &#8216;폐업&#8217; 폭발을 일으키고 있다. 또한 다른 옵션을 탐색하여 희망을 유지하고 있다. 이것이 넥서를 다시 테이블로 끌어들이는 것인지 아니면 새로운 구매자를 찾는 것인지는 아직 알 수 없다.
그게 다가 아니다. <a href="https://kr.benzinga.com/news/usa/stocks/%EB%94%9C-%EB%94%94%EC%8A%A4%ED%8C%A8%EC%B9%98-%EC%8A%A4%ED%86%A8%EB%A6%AC-%EB%AF%B8%EA%B5%AD-%EC%82%AC%EC%97%85%EB%B6%80-%ED%8C%8C%EC%82%B0-%EB%B3%B4%ED%98%B8-%EC%8B%A0%EC%B2%AD-%EC%95%A8%EB%A6%AC/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">벤징가 딜 디스패치</a>는 지난달 보도한 바에 따르면 더 컨테이너 스토어(The Container Store)는 파산 위기에 처해 있었다. 비욘드(Beyond Inc.)와 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41356027/whats-going-on-with-container-store-stock-after-getting-40m-investment-from-beyond" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">거래를 체결할 수 없었던</a> 방법을 기억해 보자. 이 <a href="https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20241222725949/en/The-Container-Store-to-Execute-Comprehensive-Recapitalization-Transaction-with-Lender-Support-to-Best-Position-the-Company-for-Future-Success" target="_blank" rel="noopener">서류</a>는 12월 22일 일요일 텍사스 지방 법원에서 공식화되었다.
그러나 파티 시티 및 빅랏츠와는 달리 더 컨테이너 스토어는 계속 영업을 하고 있다.
더 컨테이너 스토어의 CEO인 사티쉬 말호트라(Satish Malhotra)는 &#8220;우리의 전략은 타당하다&#8221;고 말했다.
이 사랑받는 스토리지 솔루션 및 재택 서비스 제공업체가 재정을 정리하고 있다. 이 회사의 정기 대출 기관 중 최대 90%가 거래 지원 계약에 동참했다.
더 컨테이너 스토어는 4,000만 달러의 신규 자금을 확보하고 4,500만 달러의 부채를 삭감하게 된다. 이 모든 것은 더 컨테이너 스토어가 파트너, 공급업체 및 이해관계자들과의 약속을 차질 없이 지키는 것을 목표로 하고 있음을 의미한다.
이 회사는 향후 30일 이내에 파산을 종료할 것으로 예상하고 있다. 다시 등장하면 개인 회사가 될 것다.
스웨덴에 있는 더 컨테이너 스토어의 엘파(Elfa) 사업은 영향을 받지 않는다.

CEO 마크 로테라(Mark Rothera)는 Nana-val의 향후 승인에 대해 여전히 낙관적이다.

베인 앤 컴퍼니(Bain &amp; Co.)에 따르면 2024년에는 사모펀드 및 금융 투자자들이 새로운 관심을 보였다. 거래 가치는 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/interest-rates" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">약간 낮은 이자율</a>로 인해 전년 대비 29% 증가했다.
사소한 부채 비용 변화의 영향을 덜 받는 기업 M&amp;A는 2023년보다 12% 더 높은 한 해를 마무리할 것으로 예상되며 모든 지역에서 거래량이 7% 증가할 것이라고 이 회사가 밝혔다.
&#8220;전체적으로 M&amp;A 활동 수준은 중간 수준인 3조 5천억 달러였다&#8221;고 이 회사가 지적했다. &#8220;2010년대 중반에 우리가 본 것과 일치하는 수치이다.&#8221;

알리바바 그룹 홀딩(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>)은 약 40억 달러로 평가되는 이마트와의 한국 사업 합병을 거의 마쳤다고 전해졌다. 이 전략적 움직임은 한국의 경쟁이 치열한 온라인 소매 시장에서의 입지를 강화하기 위한 것이다.
무슨 일이 있었나: 잠재적인 합작 투자로 이들 두 회사의 전자상거래 자산이 결합되어 네이버(Naver Corp.)와 쿠팡(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CPNG#NYSE">CPNG</a>)와 같은 현지 경쟁자들에 맞설 수 있는 더 강력한 체제가 만들어질 것이다. 논의는 진행 중이며, 이번 주 중 발표가 있을 수 있지만, 합의의 최종화는 더 오랜 시간이 걸릴 수 있다고 블룸버그가 목요일에 <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-12-26/alibaba-is-said-to-near-4-billion-deal-with-korea-s-e-mart" target="_blank" rel="noopener">보도</a>했다.
이번 합병은 알리바바가 중국 주요 시장의 성장 둔화 속에서 국제적 입지를 확장하고자 하는 상황에서 이루어졌다. 한편, 신세계그룹의 이마트는 전자상거래 부문을 적극적으로 성장시키고 있으며, 2021년에는 약 30억 달러에 이베이(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EBAY#NASDAQ">EBAY</a>)의 한국 시장 지배 지분을 인수하기도 했다.
알리바바와 이마트 모두 현재 <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com">벤징가</a>에 이 문제에 대해 언급하지 않았다.

이번 개발은 정치적 불안정으로 인한 소비자 신뢰도 하락이라는 배경 속에서 발생한 일로, 윤석열 대통령의 계엄령 선언과 이후 탄핵으로 인해 발생한 일이다.
왜 중요한가: 알리바바와 이마트의 잠재적 합병은 알리바바가 핵심 전자상거래 운영에 재초점을 맞추려는 광범위한 전략의 일환이다. 올해 초, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/02/36912036/alibaba-plans-to-sell-off-grocery-and-retail-assets-doubles-down-on-e-commerce-core">알리바바는</a> 식료품 사업인 프레시포(Freshippo)와 소매업체 RT-마트를 포함한 여러 소비자 부문 자산을 매각할 계획을 발표했다. 이 움직임은 조 차이(Joe Tsai) 회장과 에디 우(Eddie Wu) CEO의 주도하에 비핵심 및 수익성이 없는 사업부를 정리하려는 회사의 전략적 전환과 일치한다.
또한, 알리바바가 최근 한국 의류 브랜드인 에이블리(Ably Corp)에 7,140만 달러를 투자하여 2024년 한국 최초의 유니콘으로 만든 것은 알리바바의 한국 시장에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있음을 보여준다. 이 투자는 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42260627/south-korea-gets-its-first-unicorn-of-2024-as-china-based-alibaba-invests-714m-in-ably-corp">에이블리를 10억 달러 이상으로 평가</a>하여 이전 평가에서 크게 상승한 것이다.

타이거 글로벌 헤지펀드가 플러터 엔터테인먼트 주식을 매수하고 덱스콤을 매도

유명한 투자자 스탠리 드러켄밀러(Stanley Druckenmiller)는 엔비디아(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>)의 지분을 크게 줄였으며 이는 그의 투자 전략 변화를 나타낸다.
What Happened: 드러켄밀러의 듀케인 패밀리 오피스(Duquense Family Office)는 1분기에 엔비디아 주식 441,551주를 매각하여 보유 지분이 72% 감소했다고 비지니스 인사이더(Business Insider)가 미 증권거레위원회(SEC)에 신고된 13F 보고서를 인용해 <a href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/stanley-druckenmiller-trims-nvidia-stake-copper-exposure-13f-q1-duquense-2024-5" target="_blank" rel="noopener">보도했다.</a>
상당한 감소에도 불구하고 엔비디아는 약 1억 5,900만 달러의 가치로 이 포트폴리오에서 7번째로 큰 위치를 유지하고 있다.
드러켄밀러는 또한 지난 분기에 총 가치 약 2억 4,200만 달러에 인수된 엔비디아의 모든 콜 옵션을 청산했다. 엔비디아가 1분기에 82% 급등하여 사상 최고치를 기록했다는 점을 고려할 때 이러한 움직임은 또 다른 중요한 이익 획득일 가능성이 높다.
드러켄밀러의 다른 중요한 거래에는 러셀(Russell) 2000 지수의 콜 옵션을 통한 소형주에 대한 6억 6,400만 달러의 투자가 포함된다. 이 포지션은 듀케인의 최대 규모이며, 그 뒤를 이어 4억 6,800만 달러 상당의 마이크로소프트(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) 및 약 4억 달러 상당의 한국 전자 상거래 회사인 쿠팡(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CPNG#NYSE">CPNG</a>)의 지분을 보유하고 있다.
또 다른 주목할만한 거래는 드러켄밀러가 구리 광산 기업 프리포트 맥모란(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FCX#NYSE">FCX</a>) 자신의 투자 지분을 거의 3배로 늘린 것인데, 현재 가치는 약 6,500만 달러이다. 이는 미국 경제 전반에 대한 낙관적인 전망을 나타낼 수 있다.
Why It Matters: 엔비디아의 지분을 줄이기로 한 드러켄밀러의 결정은 이 회사의 미래가 의문시되는 시점에 이루어졌다. 최근 한 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/05/38863095/nvidia-stock-faces-decline-in-coming-years-as-ai-chip-demand-softens-warns-analyst-were-looking-">분석가의 경고</a>에 따르면 엔비디아의 주식은 GPU 수요 감소로 인해 최근 상승세를 유지하지 못할 수도 있다.
드러켄밀러의 움직임은 또한 AI 혁명이 너무 빠르게 진행되었다고 언급하며 엔비디아 지분의 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/top-stories/24/05/38679782/george-soros-ex-employee-just-sold-a-large-nvidia-stake-druckenmiller-says-it-was-a-hell-of-a-run">상당 부분을 매각</a>한 그의 전 상사인 조지 소로스(George Soros)의 유사한 결정에 따른 것이다.
이러한 우려에도 불구하고 엔비디아의 주가는 2024년 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/24/05/38569426/nvidias-roller-coaster-ride-through-early-2024-sets-the-stage-for-a-potential-market-shakeup-as-inv" target="_blank" rel="noopener">롤러코스터를 타고</a> 1분기에 96%의 상승 랠리를 경험했다.

스탠리 드러켄밀러가 엔비디아 주식 72%를 매각, 프리포트 맥모란 추가 매수

쿠팡(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CPNG#NYSE">CPNG</a>)의 주가는 이 회사가 엇갈린 1분기 재무 실적을 발표한 후 수요일 하락했다. 이 보고서의 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/05/38696336/wall-street-poised-for-muted-open-on-mixed-earnings-with-more-fed-speeches-in-store-analyst-sees-s-">주요 내용</a>을 살펴보자.
세부 사항 (The Details):
쿠팡은 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/05/b38680949/coupang-announces-results-for-first-quarter-2024" target="_blank" rel="noopener">분기별 이익</a>을 주당 5센트로 보고했는데, 이는 애널리스트 컨센서스인 주당 6센트를 밑도는 수치로 지난해 같은 기간과 변함이 없다.
분기별 매출은 71억 1,000만 달러로 분석가 컨센서스 추정치인 69억 1,000만 달러를 넘어섰고, 이는 지난해 같은 기간 매출 58억 달러보다 22.66% 증가한 수치이다.
이 회사는 제품 상거래 부문 순매출이 65억 달러로 전년 대비 15% 증가했으며, 제품 상거래 활성 고객이 2,150만 명에 달해 전년 대비 16% 성장했다고 밝혔다.
쿠팡의 최고 재무책임자(CFO)인 거라브 아난드(Gaurav Anand)는 &#8220;우리의 결과는 고객 경험과 운영 우수성에 대한 우리의 노력을 반영한 것이다&#8221;라고 말했다. &#8220;우리는 한국에서 거대하고 고도로 세분화된 5,600억 달러 규모의 상거래 기회에서 한 자릿수 점유율을 유지하고 대만에서는 훨씬 더 작은 점유율을 유지하면서 고객을 놀라게 하는 데 계속 집중하고 있다.&#8221;
미즈호(Mizuho)의 애널리스트인 제임스 리(James Lee)는 쿠팡에 대한 중립적인 평가를 유지하고 이번 발표에 따라 목표주가를 20달러에서 23달러로 상향 조정했다.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">제 쿠팡(CPNG) 주식을 팔아야 할까요?</h3>
주식을 팔아야 할지, 아니면 보유해야 할지 결정하는 것은 투자자의 전략과 리스크 허용치에 따라 크게 달라진다. 스윙 트레이더들은 자본 이익을 확보하기 위해 수익률이 높은 주식을 판매할 수 있다면, 장기 투자자들은 주가의 추가 상승을 기대해서는 이러한 유형의 주가 변동에 대해 더 긍정적일 수 있다.
마찬가지로, 손실을 최소화하려는 트레이더들은 특정 비율로 하락하는 주식을 팔 수 있지만, 장기 투자자들은 이를 할인된 가격으로 더 많은 주식을 구매할 수 있는 기회로 보기도 한다.
쿠팡의 주식은 올해 들어 30.34% 상승했다. 이는 평균 연간 수익률인 -13.91%와 비교해 봤을 때 이 주식이 자신의 과거 평균을 능가했다는 뜻이다. 투자자들은 이 주식의 움직임을 과거의 성과와 비교해 봄으로써 이러한 움직임이 정상적인 것인지, 아니면 잠재적인 거래 기회인지를 파악할 수 있다.
투자자들은 시장의 역학적인 요소들도 고려해야 한다. 상대강도지수(RSI)를 통해 주식이 과매수인지, 과매도인지를 파악할 수 있다. 쿠 주식의 현재 RSI는 72.53으로, 과매수 조건을 나타내고 있다.
