Last week, Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) CEO Sundar Pichai revealed that the tech giant once came close to acquiring Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>).
What Happened: In a new interview on the All-In Podcast, Pichai was asked by David Friedberg about the biggest regrets or missed opportunities during his tenure as CEO.
While Pichai said that he tries not to dwell on regrets, when pressed further, he acknowledged one major what-if: Netflix.
"Maybe Netflix, right?" Pichai said. "We debated Netflix at some point super intensely inside."
"I wouldn't call it regrets, but you always look back … in a world of butterfly effects, there were alternate paths, but maybe they are in a different part of the multiverse."

Pichai also discussed Alphabet's broader innovation strategy, noting that despite appearing as a holding company, Alphabet focuses deeply on technology-first solutions.
"We are not just looking to invest capital in other attractive businesses," he said, adding that the company looks for problems where its technology and R&amp;D can provide a differentiated value proposition.
He cited innovations like Waymo, Google Cloud and AI advancements through Gemini and DeepMind as examples of Alphabet's approach to incubating transformative businesses rooted in foundational research.

Why It&#8217;s Important: Over the years, Google has made several <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44986406/if-you-invested-1000-in-google-stock-when-it-acquired-youtube-heres-how-much-youd-have-today">successful acquisitions</a> like YouTube, Android and Waze.
While Netflix focused early on original, data-driven content and global productions to become a major entertainment player, Google prioritized user-generated content through YouTube.
The two companies took different paths: Netflix bet on premium storytelling, while Google emphasized scale and creator-driven platforms.
In April, Alphabet <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44995955/alphabet-q1-earnings-highlights-google-search-youtube-cloud-show-robust-momentum">reported first-quarter revenue</a> of $90.23 billion, marking a 12% increase from the same period last year. The figure surpassed the Street consensus estimate of $89.2 billion. YouTube advertising revenue came in at $8.9 billion, ahead of the expected $8.1 billion.
Netflix <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/25/04/44877995/netflix-crushes-q1-says-its-working-hard-to-improve-and-expand-its-offering">reported first-quarter revenue</a> of $10.54 billion, reflecting a 12.5% year-over-year increase. The result slightly exceeded the Street consensus estimate of $10.52 billion.
Price Action: In after-hours trading, Alphabet Inc.&#8217;s Class A shares dropped 1.64%, and Class C shares slipped 1.54%. Meanwhile, Netflix shares declined by 0.88%, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Sundar Pichai Reveals Google-Parent Once Super Intensely Debated About Buying Netflix: 'In A World Of Butterfly Effects…'

Pepe and cryptocurrencies tied to "Kekius Maximus" rallied Sunday night after tech mogul Elon Musk changed his X avatar to one centered on the fictional character.
What happened: Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>)-based Kekius Maximus soared 7% in the last 24 hours to a market capitalization of $1.8 million, <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/kekius-maximus-army/">according </a>to CoinMarketCap.
Alongside, Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>)-based frog-themed PEPE popped over 5%, becoming one of the market's biggest gainers in the 24-hour period. Notably, PEPE's trading volume nearly tripled to $2.19 billion, making it the second-most traded meme coin after Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>).

Kekius Maximus—a combination of "Pepe the Frog" and &#8220;Maximus Decimus Meridius,&#8221; the iconic character from the movie Gladiator—shot to prominence after <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42739155/elon-musk-changes-his-name-to-kekius-maximus-on-x-sending-to-memecoin-skyrocketing-over-600">Musk used it as his X profile name</a> on New Year's Eve 2024. The coin exploded 600%, accumulating millions in market capitalization.
However, the asset lost all its gains after Musk abandoned the avatar. Since then, the speculative asset has <a href="http://benzinga.com/25/03/44429523/elon-musks-new-x-post-sends-kekium-maximus-soaring-75frog-themed-pepe-also-rallies">experienced brief bursts of dramatic growth</a>, aided, of course, by Musk&#8217;s social media activity.
Benzinga Note: Investing in meme coins that lack community support is highly speculative and involves significant risk. They often lack intrinsic value and are driven by market sentiment, social media trends, and speculative trading.

Elon Musk's New 'Emperor Kekius Maximus' Avatar Sends Pepe And This Namesake Coin Rallying

As Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) pursues fresh all-time highs, Strategy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) Chairman Michael Saylor&#8217;s wealth multiplication strategies for average wage earners, revolving around the apex cryptocurrency, are back in the spotlight.
What Happened:&nbsp;In a recent interview with podcaster Natalie Brunell, Saylor was asked&nbsp;about the best strategies for an average person to grow their wealth by 100x. 
Saylor advised traders not to quit their jobs and avoid extravagant spending on luxury items like sports cars like Ferrari and yachts, which he described as &#8220;obscenely expensive.&#8221;
&#8220;You would be better invested in an asset that&#8217;s going up 30% a year for the next 20 years, Saylor said, suggesting they rather buy Bitcoin, which he estimates will balloon to $13 million apiece by 2045.

He further recommended leveraging mortgage debt to invest in Bitcoin. 
&#8220;If I have any kind of property you know, if I have a house, I would put a long mortgage on it, a 10-year mortgage or a 15 or 20-year mortgage on it, especially a conforming loan and then I would roll it into Bitcoin,&#8221; Saylor said. &#8220;It&#8217;s the cheapest form of permanent capital that someone can get.&#8221;
Saylor&#8217;s argument was that mortgage debt is secured against a &#8220;fairly stable&#8221; asset and the interest rates are subsidized by the government. However, data showed that mortgage rates have been steadily rising.
The 30-year fixed mortgage rate <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45311797/the-financial-hurdles-to-owning-a-home-have-rarely-been-higher-says-bmo-as-fed-holds-rates-extending-wait-for-homebuyers">shot up to 6.90%</a> for the week ending May 9, up from 6.81% the previous week and reaching the highest level in two months. This marked a sharp increase from the 3.5% rates seen before 2022 that resulted in a Covid-era housing boom.
Why It Matters:&nbsp;Saylor&#8217;s advice underscored his belief in Bitcoin as a long-term investment. One of the most vocal advocates of the apex cryptocurrency, he has put his money where his mouth is, driving his firm Strategy to the forefront of Bitcoin&#8217;s corporate adoption. As of this writing, Strategy held a stash worth over $59 billion as of this writing,&nbsp;<a href="https://bitcointreasuries.net/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">according&nbsp;</a>to bitcointreasuries.net.
Price Action:&nbsp; At the time of writing, Bitcoin was exchanging hands at $104,165.07, up 0.98% in the last 24 hours, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA.." target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">data from Benzinga Pro</a>. The cryptocurrency briefly rose above $107,000 late Sunday evening.
Shares of Strategy closed 0.70% higher at $399.80 during Friday&#8217;s regular session.

Michael Saylor Has A Tip For Average People Looking To Grow Their Wealth By 100x, But He Doesn't Want You To Quit Your Job To Invest In Bitcoin

Tom Lee, co-founder and research head at Fundstrat Global Advisors, endorsed Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) on Sunday, writing &#8220;bitcoin is the way&#8221; in response to Strike CEO Jack Mallers&#8216; prediction that the cryptocurrency is poised to &#8220;go nuclear.&#8221;
What Happened: Mallers, whose Zap company created the popular no-fee Bitcoin Lightning Network app Strike, argued in a video that economic conditions are creating perfect circumstances for Bitcoin&#8217;s rise, particularly citing government monetary policies.
&#8220;They&#8217;re gonna have to print so much money,&#8221; Mallers said. &#8220;Bitcoin is really priced with how much currency slashing around in the world and in order for all of this to work, we have to debase our current value, our debt, and we have to create more.&#8221;
The endorsements come as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45486095/bitcoin-breaks-107000-ethereum-dips-dogecoin-rallies-as-greed-sentiment-takes-over-analyst-predicts-great-6-8-week-period">Bitcoin touched $107,000 Sunday</a>, its highest level in nearly four months.

Why It Matters: Market sentiment remains bullish despite $575 million in cryptocurrency liquidations over the past 24 hours. The Crypto Fear and Greed Index registered a &#8220;Greed&#8221; reading of 74, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45486095/bitcoin-breaks-107000-ethereum-dips-dogecoin-rallies-as-greed-sentiment-takes-over-analyst-predicts-great-6-8-week-period">suggesting potential buying pressure ahead</a>.
Cryptocurrency analyst Michaël van de Poppe believes Bitcoin is &#8220;primed for a new ATH [all-time high],&#8221; noting that &#8220;altcoins are outperforming Bitcoin on every move upwards.&#8221; Bitcoin&#8217;s previous record high of $109,114.88 was set on January 20.
Robert Kiyosaki, author of &#8220;Rich Dad Poor Dad,&#8221; recently predicted Bitcoin could reach $250,000 this year, urging followers to &#8220;buy more&#8221; and &#8220;do not sell,&#8221; citing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/05/45485038/robert-kiyosaki-predicts-bitcoin-to-reach-250000-buy-more-do-not-sell">what he describes as the imminent collapse</a> of the &#8220;Marxist Central Bank system.&#8221;

Tom Lee Says 'Bitcoin Is the Way' After Strike CEO Predicts It's About To 'Go Nuclear'

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has issued a fresh warning to the U.S.&#8217;s biggest trading partners, global markets, and economies on trade and tariffs.
What Happened: On Sunday, Bessent warned that U.S. tariffs could soon snap back to their &#8220;reciprocal&#8221; levels seen during &#8220;Liberation Day&#8221; if countries fail to strike trade agreements within the current 90-day window, while speaking at CNN&#8217;s State of the Union with Jake Tapper. 
&#8220;President Trump has put them on notice that if you do not negotiate in good faith, you will ratchet back up to your April 2 level,&#8221; Bessent said, referring to America&#8217;s 18 most important trading partners, which the administration is currently focused on.

For smaller trading partners, Bessent said the administration may pursue regional agreements. &#8220;We will do a lot of regional deals,&#8221; he said. &#8220;This is the rate for Central America, this is the rate for this part of Africa.&#8221;
When asked about the impact of unpredictable tariff policy on American businesses, Bessent described the White House strategy as one of &#8220;strategic uncertainty,&#8221; adding that &#8220;If we were to give too much certainty to the other countries, then they would play us in the negotiations.&#8221;
Bessent also addressed criticism from companies like Walmart Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>), which warned of rising consumer prices. &#8220;Walmart will be <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45484675/trumps-tariff-challenge-amid-rising-price-concerns-president-tells-walmart-to-eat-the-tariffs">absorbing some of the tariffs</a>,&#8221; he said, adding that &#8220;some may get passed on to consumers.&#8221;
Why It Matters: This comes amid tariffs pushing Walmart and Target Corp.

On Saturday, President Donald Trump <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45484675/trumps-tariff-challenge-amid-rising-price-concerns-president-tells-walmart-to-eat-the-tariffs">posted on Truth Social</a>, asking Walmart to &#8220;eat the tariffs,&#8221; in response to the company&#8217;s warnings of tariff-related price hikes.
Trump also said last week that tariff revenues could <a href="https://benzinga.com/25/05/45447473/trump-says-tariff-money-could-replace-the-income-tax-april-customs-collections-hit-record-15-4-billion-as-new-duties-take-effect">replace income taxes</a>, with April customs collections hitting $15.4 billion. 
However, several economists and policy experts, such as former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers, have claimed that it was Trump who <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45365521/larry-summers-says-trump-blinked-on-china-tariffs-sometimes-its-good-to-blink-as-markets-breathe-a-sigh-of-relief">blinked on the tariffs</a>. 
&#8220;Whenever the commitment to the Liberation Day policies increases, markets go down. Whenever there's signs of backing off, markets go up,&#8221; Summers said, clearly highlighting that tariffs aren&#8217;t good for the markets.

Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) is reportedly in advanced talks to invest in a quantum computing startup.
What Happened: Nvidia is considering a major investment in PsiQuantum, reported Reuters (<a href="https://www.theinformation.com/articles/nvidia-talks-invest-quantum-startup-psiquantum">via</a> The Information).
Quantum technology could handle computations far beyond the capabilities of today's most advanced AI systems powered by Nvidia chips. PsiQuantum is working with the U.S. and Australian governments to build quantum computers in Chicago and Brisbane.
Unlike other quantum computing startups that depend on exotic materials, PsiQuantum leverages standard semiconductor manufacturing methods, the report said.
In March, Reuters reported that PsiQuantum is securing a minimum of $750 million in funding from investors such as BlackRock (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BLK#NYSE">BLK</a>), valuing the company at a $6 billion pre-money valuation.

In March, however, Nvidia announced a quantum research lab in Boston in collaboration with Harvard and MIT.&nbsp;
Nvidia is scheduled to release its first-quarter earnings on May 28 after the market closes. According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/login">Benzinga Pro</a>, analysts expect the company to post earnings of 89 cents per share on revenue of $43.07 billion.
Price Action: On Friday, Nvidia&#8217;s stock ended 0.4% higher at $135.40. 
Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings gives Nvidia a growth score of 95.02%. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Click here to see how it compares with other leading tech companies</a>.

Nvidia's Quantum Pivot? Jensen Huang-Led Chip Giant Reportedly Mulls Major Stake In PsiQuantum

Moody&#8216;s downgrade of U.S. debt from Aaa to Aa1 marks the country&#8217;s loss of its last <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s/25/05/45479078/moodys-downgrades-us-credit-rating-over-debt-deficit-concerns">remaining top-tier rating</a>, prompting market experts to weigh in on potential impacts.
What Happened: CNBC&#8217;s Jim Cramer recalled on Sunday that &#8220;the market dropped 6.7% after the last downgrade back in 2011 but it, ultimately, meant nothing.&#8221; Despite weeks of market decline following that event, Cramer emphasized investors &#8220;had to stay the course.&#8221;

Dan Niles, founder of Niles Investment Management, expects less severe market reactions this time. &#8220;Prior debt downgrades have been followed by S&amp;P drops of 8-10%,&#8221; Niles noted, adding that &#8220;today, tariff rollbacks is driving a pickup in the economy &amp; the decline should be less.&#8221;
Moody&#8217;s joins Fitch and Standard &amp; Poor&#8217;s in downgrading U.S. debt below the highest &#8220;triple-A&#8221; level. Fitch downgraded U.S. debt in August 2023, while S&amp;P&#8217;s historic first downgrade occurred in August 2011.
The 2011 S&amp;P downgrade shocked markets, coming after the S&amp;P 500 had doubled from its 2009 Great Financial Crisis lows. The index plunged 6.7% the following trading day, ultimately falling 8% from the downgrade in October 2011.
Fitch downgrade contributed to a 10% S&amp;P 500 decline from July to October 2023, exacerbated by inflation concerns and rising 10-year yields.
Niles believes current conditions differ significantly. &#8220;Unlike in 2023 or 2011, the economic environment is improving around this debt downgrade,&#8221; he wrote, citing reduced China tariffs driving trade resumption.

Why It Matters: Market support could come from retail investors experiencing FOMO (fear of missing out) and professional investors who missed the recent 20% rally from April lows. The AAII survey recently showed bulls surpassing bears for the first time during this rally, according to Niles.
Moody&#8217;s cited persistent fiscal deficits and rising government debt as key factors in its decision. The agency projects U.S. debt-to-GDP ratio will climb from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s/25/05/45479078/moodys-downgrades-us-credit-rating-over-debt-deficit-concerns">nearly 100% in 2025 to around 130% by 2035</a>.

Jim Cramer Recalls 2011's 6.7% Market Decline After US Debt Downgrade, Says It 'Ultimately Meant Nothing:' Dan Niles Sees Limited Downside Amid Tariff Rollbacks, FOMO

As criticism mounts over the Donald Trump administration's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/05/45390422/trump-unveils-historic-and-transformative-600-billion-saudi-deal-predicts-markets-will-go-a-lot-higher">AI chip deals with Gulf states</a>, David Sacks and Sam Altman are pushing back, calling the partnerships a strategic win over China.
What Happened: Trump announced multibillion-dollar AI partnerships between U.S. companies and Gulf nations, including Saudi Arabia and the UAE.
The deals involve major players like Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>), Amazon.com, Inc.

Despite <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45459318/chuck-schumer-blasts-trump-for-backing-ai-chip-sales-to-saudi-arabia-uae-warns-deal-risks-us-tech-secrets-falling-into-chinas-hands">concerns from lawmakers</a> about potential Chinese access to U.S. AI chips via Gulf allies, Sacks, a tech investor and White House AI advisor, defended the initiative in a post on X, formerly Twitter.
"I'm genuinely perplexed how any self-proclaimed ‘China Hawk' can claim that President Trump's AI deals with UAE and Saudi Arabia aren't hugely beneficial for the United States," Sacks wrote.

He cited semiconductor analyst Dylan Patel that the partnerships "will noticeably shift the balance of power" in the U.S.'s favor and asked critics: "Does China wish it had made these deals? Yes of course it does. But President Trump got there first and beat them to the punch."
Altman shared Sacks&#8217; post on X and echoed his view, stating, "This was an extremely smart thing for you all to do and I'm sorry naive people are giving you grief."

Why It's Important: The Joe Biden administration had previously implemented <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41323155/nvidia-amd-face-chip-export-curbs-as-biden-administration-considers-restrictions-on-middle-east-coun">rules to restrict AI chip exports</a> to countries like Saudi Arabia and the UAE, citing national security risks.
However, those limits have now been rolled back, with new policies still in development, <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/05/16/trump-ai-deals-gulf-chips-china-trade-policy">reported</a> Axios.
On Thursday, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) cautioned that Trump's backing of efforts to export sensitive U.S. AI chip technology to allies in the Persian Gulf might ultimately give an advantage to China.
Earlier, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang warned that limiting access to China's AI market could <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45243129/nvidia-ceo-jensen-huang-says-losing-access-to-chinas-potential-50-billion-ai-market-would-be-a-tremendous-loss">harm the company, U.S. jobs</a>, and overall technological progress.
His remarks followed a report revealing that Nvidia has notified key Chinese clients — including Alibaba Group (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>), ByteDance and Tencent Holdings (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TCEHY#OTC">TCEHY</a>) — that it is developing a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45182565/nvidia-designing-new-ai-chips-for-alibaba-bytedance-tencent-after-warning-us-export-ban-on-h20-could-cost-the-company-55-billion-report">modified version of its AI chip designed</a> to meet U.S. export restrictions.

David Sacks Hails Trump's AI Strategy In Middle East As Power Move Over China — OpenAI CEO Sam Altman Backs Him: 'Sorry Naive People Are Giving You Grief'

As shares of UnitedHealth Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNH#NYSE">UNH</a>) witness a steep decline, company insiders are stepping up to the plate with a series of insider buys, which analysts and experts say is &#8220;a strong signal.&#8221;
What Happened: On Saturday, popular investment newsletter The Kobeissi Letter shared a post on X highlighting UnitedHealth&#8217;s new CEO, Stephen Hemsley, acquiring a significant stake in the company, worth $25 million, according to filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter">

&#8220;He is the latest of multiple insiders to begin buying shares amid the historic decline,&#8221; the post says, referring to the three directors, Timothy Flynn, Kristen Gil and John Noseworthy, who purchased shares worth $491,786, $1,003,329 and $93,647, respectively, in the company last week. 
This is in addition to UnitedHealth&#8217;s CFO, John Rex, who bought shares worth $5 million, according to SEC filings.

Replying to the post, investment manager&nbsp;Mike Shell&nbsp;says that investing personal capital after a sharp decline is a &#8220;strong signal&#8221; that&nbsp;management perceives &#8220;positive asymmetry&#8221; in the stock, suggesting limited downside risks, relative to its recovery potential.

Why It Matters: UnitedHealth shares have witnessed a steep decline since its disappointing <a href="https://benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/price-target/25/04/44902410/unitedhealth-group-stock-is-getting-crushed-whats-fueling-the-selloff">first quarter results</a> last month, when the company narrowly missed expectations, posting earnings of $7.20 per share versus the consensus estimate of $7.29.
However, it&#8217;s been under scrutiny <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care/24/12/42316904/unitedhealthcare-ceo-brian-thompson-fatally-shot-outside-nyc-hotel">ever since the assassination</a> of its insurance unit CEO, Brian Thompson, in December 2024, by a disgruntled insurance patient, Luigi Mangione.
The stock once again <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45373368/unitedhealth-stock-plunges-names-new-ceo-suspends-2025-guidance">witnessed a pullback</a> last week, following the abrupt departure of its CEO, Andrew Witty. Former CEO Hemsley was reinstated, and the company subsequently withdrew its full-year guidance.
To make matters worse, a Wall Street Journal report claimed that UnitedHealth was under a <a href="https://benzinga.com/general/health-care/25/05/45426769/unitedhealth-stock-plunges-over-8-in-after-hours-trading-as-doj-criminal-probe-adds-to-turmoil-after-ceo-shake-up">federal criminal investigation</a> focusing on its Medicare Advantage business practices. The company refuted these claims, stating that it has not been notified of any supposed criminal investigation by the Department of Justice.
While several experts see this string of insider buying as a sign of a turnaround to come, investor Jeremy Lefebvre posted on X, calling the company &#8220;straight trash.&#8221;

Lefebvre says the company will go through years of investigation, and that it will &#8220;be a mess,&#8221; before drawing parallels with Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>), which he says &#8220;is still a mess even now.&#8221;

UnitedHealth CEO, Other Insiders Buy Millions In Stock As It Sinks Over 23% In A Week: Move Gets 'Mixed' Reaction

Nearly 23 million Shiba Inu (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/shib/usd">SHIB</a>) were kicked out of circulation Sunday, applying further deflationary pressure on the popular dog-themed meme coin.
What happened: The burn rate exploded 588.22% in the last 24 hours, resulting in a supply squeeze of 22.94 million SHIB tokens, <a href="https://www.shibburn.com/">according</a> to Shibburn, the coin&#8217;s official burn tracker.
At the time of writing, about 410.74 trillion SHIBs have been burned, with the circulating supply at 584.45 trillion.
Coin burning entails sending a cryptocurrency to an unusable wallet address to remove it from circulation. This is done to create scarcity and boost its demand and market value over time.
Interestingly, the burn spike came despite a sharp drop in <a href="https://www.shibariumscan.io/stats">transactions </a>on the ecosystem's Layer-2 blockchain, Shibarium. It's worth pointing out that a portion of transaction fees paid on Shibarium is set aside and burned through an automated burn mechanism.

Meanwhile, the Open Interest in SHIB derivatives rose over 2% in the last 24 hours, <a href="https://www.coinglass.com/LongShortRatio">according </a>to Coinglass. That said, the majority of Binance traders with open SHIB positions were positioned short.
On the technical front, the Bull Bear Power indicator, which measures the strength of buyers and sellers, flashed a "Buy" signal for SHIB, <a href="https://in.tradingview.com/symbols/SHIBUSD/technicals/">according </a>to TradingView.
Price Action:&nbsp; At the time of writing, SHIB was exchanging hands at $0.00001453, up 1.73% in the last 24 hours, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA..">data from Benzinga Pro</a>. Year-to-date, the coin has plunged 31%.

Shiba Inu's Burn Rate Fires 588%, Key Indicators Flash 'Buy' — What Up?

Seven years ago, Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) poached Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>)-owned Google's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/04/45029758/apples-ai-team-undergoes-major-restructuring-amidst-performance-concerns">AI chief</a> John Giannandrea. However, the tech giant is still struggling to catch up in the artificial intelligence race.
What Happened: In 2018, Giannandrea's arrival at Apple was seen as a turning point, with executives hoping to revamp Siri and build a foundation for future AI products.
However, today the positive wave Giannandrea brought has dissipated as Apple continues to fall behind rivals like OpenAI, Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) and Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2025-05-18/how-apple-intelligence-and-siri-ai-went-so-wrong?accessToken=eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJzb3VyY2UiOiJTdWJzY3JpYmVyR2lmdGVkQXJ0aWNsZSIsImlhdCI6MTc0NzYwMjI4NiwiZXhwIjoxNzQ4MjA3MDg2LCJhcnRpY2xlSWQiOiJTV0g2Q1NEV1JHRzAwMCIsImJjb25uZWN0SWQiOiJDNEVEQ0FFMUZBMDU0MEJFQTI0QTlGMjExQzFFOTA4MCJ9.YT_s8wxHKtdrfLqfjQbcgxZeRLetExNf84jgg1mpcHM">according</a> to Bloomberg Businessweek.

Last year at the WWDC, Apple promised a major overhaul of its voice assistant. However, this has been repeatedly delayed with many of the promised features still not functioning properly.
Eddy Cue, a senior Apple executive, reportedly told AI could do what iPhone did to Nokia's business. Last month, during his testimony in a DOJ case against Alphabet, Cue said that iPhones could lose relevance over the next 10 years: "As crazy as that sounds," the report noted.
However, during Apple's earnings call in May, CEO Tim Cook defended the slow progress, saying Apple Intelligence features simply need more time to meet the company's quality standards.

So, Why Is Apple Still Behind? As per the report, which cited multiple employees and people close to the company, much of the blame has been put on Giannandrea, who, according to the sources, did not fight for adequate funding.
Some also said that the ex-Google executive lacked a sense of urgency. But, Giannandrea reportedly thinks that the blame should be with marketing and advertising teams for hyping unfinished projects.
The acquisition of a lower number of GPUs than its competitors, its long-standing commitment to privacy and the tendency to perfect a feature before launching also hindered the company's progress in the AI race, the report said.
Why It's Important: Apple is now working on iOS 19, which will reported pack significant AI updates, including <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45367075/apple-reportedly-leans-on-ai-to-solve-iphone-battery-woes-in-ios-19-update-ahead-of-thinner-iphone-17-launch-this-fall">battery optimization</a> and a virtual health coach.
Apple is also planning to split Apple Intelligence from Siri to escape the voice assistant's reputation, the report added, citing sources. The tech giant also reportedly intends to let Siri access the open web, just like OpenAI's ChatGPT.
Price Action: As per <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Apple shares have declined by 1.58% in after-hours trading.
Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings gave Apple a growth score of 45.98%, reflecting strong market momentum. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Click here to see how it compares to other leading stocks</a> such as Alphabet, Microsoft and Amazon.

Analyst Notes: Cryptocurrency market commentator Michaël van de Poppe highlighted the potential for altcoins to outperform Bitcoin in the next days.
"M2 Supply goes up and Bitcoin is primed for a new ATH. Altcoins are outperforming Bitcoin on every move upwards. I think we're in for a great 6-8 week period," Van De Poppe stated. Notably, Bitcoin touched an all-time high of $109,114.88 on Jan. 20, 2025. It is currently trading 3.72% below those levels.

Bitcoin Breaks $107,000, Ethereum Dips, Dogecoin Rallies As 'Greed' Sentiment Takes Over: Analyst Predicts BTC 'Primed' For A New All-Time High

Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) expressed concerns on Sunday about the impact of President Donald Trump and the Department of Government Efficiency on U.S. Coast Guard operations. The Senate minority leader&#8217;s comments came in the wake of a Mexican naval vessel colliding with the Brooklyn Bridge on Saturday night.
What Happened: The accident resulted in the deaths of two crew members. The ship was on a goodwill tour, according to a <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/17/nyregion/brooklyn-bridge-ship-crash-nyc.html">report</a> from The New York Times.
The Cuauhtémoc, carrying 277 individuals, drifted into the iconic bridge, damaging its masts and rigging. Eric Adams, the Mayor of New York City, confirmed the fatalities through a social media post, noting that the ship had lost power prior to the crash.
The deceased were identified as crew members by Mexican President&nbsp;Claudia Sheinbaum. The Mexican Navy reported that 22 individuals sustained injuries, with 11 in critical condition. The ship, initially docked at Pier 17, was intended to head south from New York Harbor but instead veered off course, as reported by&nbsp;the city's Office of Emergency&nbsp;Management.
Verified videos by Reuters depicted the chaotic aftermath, with individuals hanging from the wreckage and a tugboat nearby. The ship eventually docked at Brooklyn Bridge Park with severely damaged masts. Authorities are investigating potential mechanical failures that may have led to the incident, with the&nbsp;National Transportation Safety Board&nbsp;spearheading the investigation.
Schumer highlighted issues with water traffic control, citing Trump&#8217;s decision to relieve Admiral Linda Fagan from her position as Commandant of the USCG, which remains vacant. He also pointed out that a hiring freeze has hindered the USCG&#8217;s ability to staff the Vehicle Traffic Service, crucial for managing water traffic.
Schumer&#8217;s post on X emphasized the need for action to safeguard national security, infrastructure, and public safety. He stated, &#8220;We need action for our national security, infrastructure protection, and public safety.&#8221;
The Senator said he was &#8220;fighting for answers&#8221; adding that &#8220;We know they've been meddling with U.S. Coast Guard staffing.&#8221;

Why It Matters: Schumer&#8217;s remarks come amid heightened scrutiny of transportation safety following recent incidents, including a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43328465/no-survivors-yet-to-plane-crash-near-reagan-national-airport-american-airlines-ceo-heads-to-washington">plane crash</a> near Reagan National Airport in January. 
The following month, a Delta Air Lines plane met with an accident at Toronto&#8217;s Pearson Airport, and Schumer at that time had emphasized the FAA's responsibility in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43771492/chuck-schumer-blasts-trump-faa-layoffs-after-delta-plane-overturns-on-landing-in-toronto-president-fired-safety-specialists">inspecting aviation equipment</a>, regardless of the plane's destination. He had pointed out that Trump had let go of FAA safety specialists.
Elon Musk, who spearheaded the Trump Administration&#8217;s cost-cutting agency DOGE, said he <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45381782/elon-musk-vows-to-spend-less-time-in-white-house-doge-office-investors-warn-the-damage-is-done-and-teslas-troubles-are-far-from-over">would cut back on his time</a> spent on government work and refocus on Tesla starting in May, but a recent <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2025/05/17/politics/musk-doge-future">report</a> from CNN indicates that the agency&#8217;s work is set to continue even as Musk takes a backseat.

Chuck Schumer Raises Concerns Over Trump And DOGE Impact On US Coast Guard After Mexican Ship Collides With Brooklyn Bridge: 'We Know They've Been Meddling'

<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>The U.S. is set to lose $12.5 billion in travel revenue this year, according to data from the World Travel &amp; Tourism Council </li>
<li>The findings, which were shared exclusively with Bloomberg, have been attributed to a number of factors including the rising American dollar and President Donald Trump's "America first" attitude</li>
<li>If the predictions hold, revenues will be down 22% compared to 2019</li>
</ul>
The U.S. is on track to lose $12.5 billion in travel revenue this year, according to data from the World Travel &amp; Tourism Council shared with <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-05-13/the-us-travel-economy-is-headed-for-a-12-billion-slump-this-year">Bloomberg</a>.&nbsp;
The estimate represents a 7% decline in visitor spending year over year, and a 22% decline from 2019, when tourism in the U.S. reached its peak. If the projection holds, traveler spending in the U.S. will fall below $169 billion by year end.

According to the WTTC, the U.S. is the only country out of the 184 surveyed that is projected to lose tourism dollars this year.
"Other countries are really rolling out the welcome mat, and it feels like the US is putting up a ‘we are closed' sign at their doorway," WTTC CEO Julia Simpson told Bloomberg.&nbsp;
The consequences of this shift could be devastating for the economy, Simpson warns. According to data collected by the WTTC and Oxford Economics, direct and indirect tourism represents 9% of the American economy. In total, the sector employs around 20 million people and creates $585 billion in tax dollars each year, which amounts to about 7% of all tax revenues.&nbsp;
"The US travel and tourism sector is the biggest sector globally compared to any other country, worth almost $2.6 trillion," Simpson says. It's a "major mainstay of the U.S. economy."

Some of the challenges the American tourism industry is facing are years in the making. For example, Simpson says restrictions from COVID-era travel lingered in the U.S. longer than they did in many other countries. Then the rising U.S. dollar started pricing people out, she told Bloomberg. These things kept visitors from places like Japan and Europe, countries who typically have a lot of tourists in the U.S., from making the trip.
Other challenges the industry faces are new and have seemingly sprung up overnight. Simpson says many travelers are now shifting their behaviors as a result of the "America first" rhetoric and policy.&nbsp;
"What we are seeing now is a sentiment shift that's really very sad," Simpson told Bloomberg. "Legislators need not confuse the tourism sector with issues around illegal immigration. A sophisticated system can balance both without turning [the country] into an island that no one wants to visit."

The WTTC predicts that it will take until 2030 for tourism to bounce back to pre-pandemic levels. "The thing about tourism is it's extremely resilient," Simpson says. "If you push the right buttons, it will bounce back."
But it might be too little, too late. Simpson told Bloomberg that while the U.S. is making it more difficult to visit, every other country is making it easier. "India is gaining, the Middle East is gaining, China is gaining, Europe is doing quite well. It's only Americans that are being left behind and losing out," she said.

The US Could Lose $12.5 Billion In Travel Revenue In 2025 Due To Political Uncertainties

Former U.S. President Joe Biden has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer that has metastasized to his bones, as reported by Reuters on Sunday. 
What Happened: The diagnosis was made on Friday after Biden, 82, experienced urinary symptoms. He and his family are currently considering treatment options with medical professionals.
The cancer is described as hormone-sensitive, which allows for effective management, his office stated. Prostate cancers that have spread are classified as Stage 4, the most advanced stage. The&nbsp;Centers for Disease Control and&nbsp;Prevention notes that in 2021, 70% of prostate cancer cases were detected before spreading beyond the prostate.
Biden&#8217;s health has been under scrutiny during his presidency from 2021 to 2025. He ended his reelection campaign last July following a debate performance against&nbsp;Donald Trump&nbsp;that concerned Democrats. Trump expressed sympathy for Biden and his family on Truth Social.
Biden&#8217;s cancer scored a nine on the Gleason score, indicating a very high risk. Dr. Herbert Lepor from NYU Langone mentioned&nbsp;that many men can live&nbsp;five to 10 years and beyond with metastatic prostate cancer. Dr. Chris George from Northwestern Health Network stated that while the&nbsp;cancer is no longer curable&nbsp;once spread to the bones, treatments are available to control it.
President Donald Trump said on Truth Social Sunday that he and Melania were &#8220;saddened to hear about Joe Biden's recent medical diagnosis. We extend our warmest and best wishes to Jill and the family, and we wish Joe a fast and successful recovery.&#8221;

Trump-Appointed Chief Fires 600; Reporters With J-1 Visa Face Deportation</a>
Why It Matters Last year, Biden announced a substantial $240 million investment to combat cancer, enhancing the administration's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/23/12/36101788/bidens-million-dollar-moonshot-240-million-is-a-boon-for-cancer-research-will-it-be-a-boost-for-phar">"Cancer Moonshot"</a> initiative. This funding, distributed through the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H), supports projects aimed at cancer prevention, detection, and treatment.
Additionally, Biden&#8217;s administration has been actively involved in healthcare cost reforms. In August, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services revealed the first ten drugs <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/23/08/34087337/biden-targets-cancer-diabetes-drugs-in-controversial-medicare-price-battle-wants-to-cut-billions-">subject to price negotiations</a> under Biden&#8217;s Inflation Reduction Act. This move targets reducing the costs of cancer and diabetes drugs, among others, which accounted for a significant portion of prescription drug costs.

Joe Biden Diagnosed With Advanced Prostate Cancer, Trump Wishes Former President A 'Fast And Successful Recovery'

A viral Reddit <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/MiddleClassFinance/comments/1klaciy/how_are_there_still_so_many_people_who_think_that/">post</a> in the r/MiddleClassFinance community recently sparked a passionate discussion about luxury cars and what they really say about someone&#8217;s finances.
The original post reads: &#8220;How are there still so many people who think that driving an expensive car means you&#8217;re rich these days? It&#8217;s common knowledge that anyone can <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/05/38555548/suze-orman-calls-car-leasing-the-biggest-waste-of-money-and-advises-to-buy-rather-than-lease">finance or lease a luxury car</a>, yet many still see it as a symbol of success.&#8221;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Just Because You Drive a BMW Doesn&#8217;t Mean You&#8217;re Rich</h2>
One of the most repeated sentiments: owning a luxury car <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/05/45336111/warren-buffett-didnt-buy-a-new-car-for-years-heres-why-you-might-want-to-wait-even-with-looming-tariffs">doesn&#8217;t automatically mean</a> you&#8217;re wealthy. Many commenters pointed out that leasing or financing a high-end vehicle is accessible to many, regardless of their actual financial stability.
&#8220;I drive a BMW and I&#8217;m not rich nor bankrupt,&#8221; one user wrote. &#8220;It&#8217;s not hard to prioritize something that makes you happy.&#8221;
Another chimed in: &#8220;People spending 80-100k on a truck nowadays is mind-blowing.&#8221;&nbsp;
Several people shared personal stories about coworkers or friends who drive flashy cars while living paycheck to paycheck or renting apartments. Just because a bank says they&#8217;ll finance you doesn't mean it&#8217;s a good idea.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Quiet Reality of Wealth</h2>
On the flip side, others emphasized that many wealthy people purposely avoid looking rich.
&#8220;We have two paid-off Hondas, buy our kids&#8217; clothes at consignment sales, use our local buy-nothing group, and have a (much) higher net worth than everyone we know,&#8221; one user shared.
Another pointed out: &#8220;Costco clothes are for both rich and poor. I call it the final destination of fashion.&#8221;
And one popular quote summed it up: &#8220;Money talks; wealth whispers.&#8221;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Preferences vs. Posturing</h2>
Plenty of users agreed that it often comes down to personal values. Some love nice cars and are willing to sacrifice elsewhere in their budget. Others simply want reliable transportation and prefer to invest their money.
&#8220;I wear Costco clothes but drive high-end cars because I have been obsessed with cars since I was a kid,&#8221; one Redditor explained. &#8220;The only one I&#8217;m trying to impress is myself.&#8221;
Trending: Maximize saving for your retirement and cut down on taxes: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/wideradvisor-retirement-planning">Schedule your free call with a financial advisor to start your financial journey – no cost, no obligation</a>.&nbsp;
Another person, a lawyer married to a physician, said: &#8220;I could never finance a luxury vehicle. It&#8217;s not a question of being able to afford it.&#8221;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Debt Culture and &#8216;Status Spending&#8217;</h2>
Many pointed fingers at debt culture and the influence of social media and influencer lifestyles.
&#8220;EVERYONE I knew [in Miami] drove a leased base model BMW/Mercedes/Lexus that they parked at their parents&#8217; houses where they still lived in their childhood bedrooms with $10 in their bank accounts,&#8221; one commenter wrote.
&#8220;I have a $2,425 car payment,&#8221; said another. &#8220;I make $170,000 a year&#8230; and the car makes me feel like a million bucks every time I drive it.&#8221; Adding, &#8220;I already own a million-dollar home with $600,000 equity, so what the hell else am I going to spend my money on?&#8221;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">So, Who Actually Buys These Cars?</h2>
A cited <a href="https://hedgescompany.com/blog/2019/03/new-bmw-owner-demographics/">stat</a> from 2019 said the average household income of a new BMW 7-Series buyer was $184,170. Reactions were mixed. Some said that income could justify the purchase; others argued that even at that level, dropping $100,000 on a depreciating asset is a bad financial move.
&#8220;$184k is more than &#8216;decent money.&#8217; Not $100k car money, but it's more than triple the median income,&#8221; a user noted.
In the end, the debate circled back to a central idea: what someone drives or wears doesn&#8217;t always reflect their net worth. Sometimes it shows what they prioritize. Other times, it might just be debt in disguise.

Someone Asks, Why Do People Still Equate Luxury Cars With Being Rich When 'It's Common Knowledge Anyone Can Finance Or Lease A Luxury Car'

A younger federal employee says he was wrongly assumed to be a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44186261/doge-staffers-reportedly-draw-hefty-salaries-funded-by-taxpayers-while-musk-pushes-for-wasteful-spending-cuts">Department of Government Efficiency operative</a> after returning to the office following remote work, and it resulted in weeks of isolation, awkward interactions and straight-up hostility.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Mistrust in the Office</h2>
&#8220;From the day I started coming in, I've been feeling out of place,&#8221; wrote the employee on <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/fednews/comments/1klkrkz/my_coworkers_think_im_doge/">Reddit</a>. &#8220;I receive mean looks, conversations straight-up dying when I walk by&#8230; or even just ignoring me when I say &#8216;Hi&#8217;.&#8221;

</ul>
The post, which gained thousands of upvotes and sparked hundreds of replies, hit a nerve with federal workers across multiple agencies. The central issue? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/politics/25/04/44683851/elon-musks-secretive-doge-team-using-ai-and-disappearing-messages-to-monitor-federal-workers-for-anti-trump-sentiment-bypassing-records-laws-and-locking-out-agencies-report">Growing suspicion</a> around DOGE — a much-discussed, loosely defined internal enforcement body reportedly tied to layoffs and oversight during the return-to-office push.
The OP explained that he had only recently started working in the office after remote onboarding. &#8220;I finally managed to strike up a conversation with someone,&#8221; he said, &#8220;and before we got friendly, he kind of checked me — asked what office I was with and all that.&#8221;
When the coworker realized OP was just a regular federal employee and not with DOGE, things changed quickly: &#8220;After that, he was super cool and even told me his team had been talking about me a lot because they thought I was a DOGE plant.&#8221;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Everyone Is on Edge</h2>
Once the misunderstanding was cleared up on his floor, he started getting smiles instead of suspicion. But that goodwill hasn&#8217;t reached other parts of the building: &#8220;As for the other floors? I doubt they interact with this guy enough to know.&#8221;
The story resonated with hundreds who replied with similar experiences or office-wide paranoia. One user wrote, &#8220;My office is probably much much smaller than yours, but my supervisor tends to send out emails with name, picture, and a little blurb about new staff. Not just new feds, but new faces in general to just make it less weird.&#8221;
Others joked that OP should lean into it: &#8220;I&#8217;d get a &#8216;Hi my name is&#8217; sticker and fill in &#8216;NOT DOGE&#8217;,&#8221; one commenter suggested. Another said, &#8220;This is exactly what DOGE would do.&#8221;
The topic triggered a larger conversation about the distrust plaguing federal workplaces in the current political climate. &#8220;People are super paranoid now,&#8221; wrote one user. Another added, &#8220;This is how it was in Nazi Germany and Stalin Russia&#8230; people turning each other in to protect themselves.&#8221;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Fear, Paranoia and Office Culture</h2>
According to Reddit comments, suspicion toward new hires, especially younger ones, has been growing. Many said appearance matters more than it should: dressing too formally, smiling too much or simply being unfamiliar could result in cold shoulders. &#8220;If you look too young and preppy/WASP-y&#8230; you might inadvertently give off that impression,&#8221; one commenter said.
The OP admitted he dresses well because his father taught him to, but said he might consider &#8220;reading the room&#8221; more. Still, he maintained that he shouldn&#8217;t have to change who he is to be treated with basic respect.
&#8220;Just because you&#8217;re paranoid doesn&#8217;t mean you have to sh&#x2A;t on other feds,&#8221; he wrote in an edit. &#8220;I shouldn&#8217;t be treated as other just because I am young and in government.&#8221;
Others agreed, blaming the administration for creating an atmosphere of fear. &#8220;They want the kind of environments where coworkers don't trust each other&#8230; instead of cooperate and band together to weather the storm,&#8221; one person commented.
For now, OP is trying to laugh about the whole thing. &#8220;What if DOGE are the friends we made along the way?&#8221; he joked.

'My Coworkers Think I'm DOGE'—A Federal Worker Says, 'I Receive Mean Looks And Conversations Are Straight-Up Dying When I Walk By'

Most parents would be thrilled if their 23-year-old had already stacked a quarter of a million dollars in investments. Not this mom.
Julie, a listener of "Suze Orman's Women &amp; Money" podcast", <a href="https://www.suzeorman.com/blog/Podcast-Episode-Ask-KT-Suze-Anything-Is-My-Daughter-a-Miser">wrote in with a dilemma</a> that had both Suze and her cohost KT raising eyebrows—and laughing a little too.
"Have we created a monster?" Julie asked, in what Suze Orman called one of the best subject lines they'd seen.

</ul>
Julie and her husband, who've lived below their means for decades and now boast a net worth of over $6 million, made it their mission to teach their kids how to save and invest early. And it worked—almost too well. Their 23-year-old daughter, a full-time grad student, already has over $250,000 saved in a Roth IRA and non-retirement investment accounts.
How? "She has accumulated this through jobs she's had for years, as well as our annual gift of a match to what she <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/11/41991146/suze-orman-says-this-investment-can-make-your-kids-rich-by-retirement-you-have-a-golden-opportunity-to-launch-them-to-their-first-million">contributes to her Roth</a>," Julie explained.
But here's the problem: their daughter refuses to spend money on, well… anything.
"In my opinion, she has a toxic attitude towards money," the mom wrote. "She constantly says she cannot afford things and never offers to pay for anything when she's on a date with her boyfriend or when she's with friends or family."

Julie added that while her daughter studies hard and is always hustling to earn more, she's also become what she calls "miserly."
Cue co-host KT's reaction: "Mom thinks her daughter's a miser," she said, laughing. But KT didn't see anything wrong with a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/05/45306698/will-i-have-more-money-in-the-long-run-by-taking-out-student-loans-instead-of-paying-cash-suze-orman-weighs-in">23-year-old who's obsessed with saving</a>. "I wouldn't do a thing, mom," she added. "Any kid that's 23 that wants to work and earn money and save money and accumulate money is a good thing."
Orman, however, wasn't ready to let the daughter completely off the hook. "Mom's saying she's miserly because she never pays for anything because she doesn't think she can afford it," she clarified.
Still, Orman made it crystal clear that this kind of saving habit is not a red flag—it's a financial flex.
"These are her compounding years," she said. "For every dollar she saves over the next 40 years, when she's in her 60s, it's going to multiply so much because of compounding… She's on the path to being far wealthier than both you and your husband."

So what should parents do when their daughter's on the fast track to millionaire status but won't split a dinner bill?
Orman suggested one tactical move: stop matching her Roth IRA contributions.
"She has enough," she said. "You can simply say, ‘You're doing so great, we're not going to match you anymore. You're on your own.'" It's not about punishing her—it's about letting her feel the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">difference between earned money and gifted money.</a> "Let's just see what that does to her," she added.
As for the boyfriend footing the bill? "Let them decide that between themselves," Orman added. "But you have not created a monster. You've created a money maven, if you ask me."
Bottom line: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44130633/you-just-talk-about-life-and-money-is-part-of-life-rachel-cruze-talks-on-teaching-finances-to-kids-based-on-how-dave-ramsey-raised-her">Teaching your kids to save</a> might just work better than expected—but don't be surprised when frugality shows up at the dinner table.

Mom Asks Suze Orman: 'Did We Create A Monster?' 23-Year-Old Daughter Has $250K Saved But Refuses To Pay For Dates Or Family Outings

A new Republican tax proposal backed by President Donald Trump and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) could give every newborn in the U.S. a head start with a $1,000 investment account.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What Are MAGA Accounts?</h2>
The accounts are called &#8220;MAGA Accounts,&#8221; short for &#8220;money account for growth and advancement.&#8221; While the name echoes Trump's famous campaign slogan, the idea came from Cruz, who spent over a year promoting the concept inside the GOP and who initially used the name "Invest America."
"You can call it anything you like,&#8221; Cruz told <a href="https://www.semafor.com/article/05/12/2025/the-new-republican-maga-account-has-a-surprising-architect-ted-cruz">Semafor</a> on Monday. &#8220;What is powerful is enabling every child in America to have an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-investment-accounts-for-kids">investment account</a> and a stake in the American free enterprise system.&#8221;

</ul>
Under the proposal, the federal government would contribute $1,000 to an account for every baby born between 2025 and 2028. Families, friends, and even employers could contribute up to $5,000 each year. Children wouldn't be able to access the funds until they turn 18, and the money would accumulate interest.
Cruz said the goal is to help more Americans benefit from the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/market-summary/25/05/45399940/warren-buffett-shows-how-patience-pays-98-of-his-160-billion-wealth-came-after-turning-65-thanks-the-power-of-compound-interest">power of compound interest</a> and grow up with a financial stake in the economy. "This will give everyone a stake," he said. &#8220;When every child has invested, it's no longer an abstract idea.&#8221;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Trump's Imprint</h2>
The MAGA accounts are part of a much larger piece of legislation dubbed &#8220;THE ONE, BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL&#8221; — in all capital letters. Trump used the phrase on <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114495946485549840">Truth Social</a>, writing, &#8220;The Bill is GREAT.&#8221;
Trending: Maker of the $60,000 foldable home has 3 factory buildings, 600+ houses built, and big plans to solve housing — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/boxabl-scaling-fast-from-spacex-orders-to-600-homes-built-this-60k-foldable-home-may-be-the-future-of-housing">this is your last chance to become an investor for $0.80 per share.</a>
The <a href="https://waysandmeans.house.gov/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/SMITMO_017_xml.pdf">bill</a> includes around $4.9 trillion in tax cuts and aims to follow through on Trump's campaign promises. It includes breaks for tipped and overtime workers, retirement-age Americans, and new taxes on private university endowments. It also includes significant cuts to programs like Medicaid, food stamps, and clean energy initiatives.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Cruz vs. &#8216;Baby Bonds&#8217;</h2>
Cruz emphasized that the MAGA accounts are different from Democratic &#8220;baby bond&#8221; proposals, which are more restrictive and don't allow private market investments. &#8220;That is just a government program,&#8221; Cruz said. &#8220;This is very much designed to get the next generation to invest in the market.&#8221;
Business leaders appear to be on board. Investor Brad Gerstner told <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XpWyUqBYJfA">CNBC</a> on May 5 that companies like Uber (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBER#NYSE">UBER</a>), Dell (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DELL#NYSE">DELL</a>), Nvidia (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), and Oracle (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>) are already interested in contributing to their employees&#8217; children's accounts. &#8220;You will have an account in the S&amp;P 500 that&#8217;s worth upwards of $50,000 to $60,000. It changes the game by getting everybody. This is the president&#8217;s Main Street agenda.&#8221;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What's Next?</h2>
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) is pushing for passage by Memorial Day. If it clears the House, the Senate is expected to make revisions.
Meanwhile, Democrats have slammed the broader bill, especially the proposed Medicaid cuts. Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) told Semafor, "Even a stopped watch is right twice a day,&#8221; giving faint praise to Cruz's MAGA account idea while criticizing the rest of the GOP proposal.

인플레이션 압력 완화에 따른 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/06/39546658/federal-reserve-to-follow-european-banks-footsteps-likely-to-cut-rates-in-septemb" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">연방준비제도(연준)의 금리 인하 기대감</a>, 기업 실적 호조, 인공지능(AI) 기술 잠재력에 대한 낙관론 덕분에 올해 주식시장은 견고한 상승세를 보였다.
이익의 발전: 광범위한 시장 성과를 측정하는 S&amp;P 500 지수는 올해 현재까지 14.48%의 견고한 상승세를 보였으며, 2분기에는 3.92% 상승했다. 이 지수는 6월 18일에 사상 최고치인 5,487.03을 기록했고, 6월 20일 장중 5,500을 돌파했다. 그 이후로 이 더 넓은 범위의 지수는 보합 움직임을 보이고 있다.
<a href="https://benzinga.com">벤징가 프로</a>의 데이터에 따르면 S&amp;P 500 지수 성과를 추적하는 상장지수펀드인 SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>)는 금요일 세션을 0.39% 하락한 544.22달러로 마감했다.
애널리스트들은 하반기에도 추가 상승이 있을 것으로 낙관하고 있다. S&amp;P 500의 기록적인 상승 이후 대부분의 기업은 연말 목표치를 상향 조정했다. 에버코어ISI(Evercore ISI)는 이제 이 지수가 6,000으로 연말을 마감할 것으로 예측하면서 가장 높은 추정치를 가지고 있다.
소수 기업 편중이 불안요소? 주식 시장의 장기 상승에도 불구하고 투자자들과 분석가들 모두 특정 소수 주식에 이익이 집중되는 것에 대해 우려하고 있다. 이는 시가총액 가중 S&amp;P 500 지수에 비해 지수 구성요소에 균일한 가중치가 적용되는 S&amp;P EQUAL WEIGHT 지수의 상대적 저조한 성과에서 분명하다.

찰스 슈왑(Charles Schwab)은 최근 보고서에서 S&amp;P 500의 전체 시가총액 대비 상위 10개 주식의 비율이 38%로 급등했다고 <a href="https://www.schwab.com/learn/story/hard-to-concentrate-top-heavy-market" target="_blank" rel="noopener">밝혔다</a>. 아크 인베스트(Ark Invest)의 캐시 우드는 최근 웹 세미나에서 시장 집중도가 1932년 대공황 당시의 수준을 뛰어넘는 극단적인 수준에 도달했다고 밝혔다.

엔비디아와 텍사스에 본사를 둔 유틸리티 회사인 비스트라도 2분기 상승세 상위 5개 기업에 포함되었다. 목록에 포함된 기타 업체로는 퍼스트 솔라(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FSLR#NASDAQ">FSLR</a>), GE에서 분할된 유틸리티 회사인 GE 베르노바(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GEV#NYSE">GEV</a>), 반도체 테스트 회사인 테라다인(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TER#NASDAQ">TER</a>)이 있다.
2분기 하락세에는 전년 대비 부진한 월그린스 부츠 얼라이언스, 인텔 및 EPAM 시스템즈가 포함된다. 실적이 저조한 상위 5개 기업은 에스티 로더(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EL#NASDAQ">EL</a>)와 건축 제품 및 장비 제조업체인 빌더스 퍼스트소스(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BLDR#NYSE">BLDR</a>)가 포함됐다.
상위 5개 상승 종목은 대부분 기술 및 유틸리티 업종에 속했고, 부진한 종목은 대부분 소비재 업종에 속했다.
전망 (Look Ahead): 모건 스탠리의 애널리스트들은 회사의 상반기 전망에서 2024년 하반기 전망이 대체로 긍정적이라고 말했다. 이 회사의 기대는 9월에 구체화될 연준의 금리 인하에 달려 있다. 선물시장은 9월 금리인하 가능성을 64%로 평가하고 있다.
JP모건의 분석가들도 긍정적인 모멘텀이 계속될 것으로 보고 있다.
애널리스트들은 &#8220;통화 긴축의 종료와 강력한 명목 GDP 성장이 결합되어 올해 남은 기간 동안 미국 주식에 건설적인 배경을 제공할 것&#8221;이라고 말했다.
연준의 금리 인하는 주식시장 랠리 확대의 전조로 널리 인식되고 있다. 올해 상반기 실적이 저조한 기업들은 인플레이션이 추가로 완화되면 강하게 반등하여 이 중앙은행이 22년 최고치에서 금리를 인하할 수 있다.
아크 인베스트의 우드는 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/06/39542910/time-to-buy-small-and-mid-cap-stocks-cathie-wood-sees-broadening-rally-after-market" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">강력한 반등 범위를 보고</a> 있다. 대공황 동안 집중도가 최고조에 달한 후, 시장은 향후 3~4년 동안 62% 상승했다. 그녀는 &#8220;대형주 현금 요새(mega-cap cash fortresses)&#8221;와는 반대로 소형주와 중형주에 불균형적으로 유리한 상승이 있다고 말했다.
아웃퍼포먼스를 위한 후보 기업들: Benzinga는 거시적 및 지정학적 환경이 우호적으로 변할 때 더 나은 성과를 낼 준비가 되어 있는 일부 부진한 주식을 선별했다. 스크리닝에 사용되는 기준은 SMID 캡 주식, 평균 거래량 50,000 주 이상, 평균 애널리스트의 목표 가격이 &#8220;매수&#8221; 이상, 평균 애널리스트의 목표 가격이 현재 가격보다 20% 높으며 상대 강도 지수가 40 미만이다. 이 주식들은 다음과 같다:

S&P 500는 사상 최고치에 밑돌며 상반기 마감: 하반기 성과를 좌우할 수 있는 5 종목

전기 자동차 선두업체인 테슬라(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>)는 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/short-sellers/24/04/38213443/tesla-stock-down-30-in-2024-investors-continue-to-short-bet-against-ev-leader-new-data-reveals" target="_blank" rel="noopener">최근 몇 달 동안</a> 투자자들이 매도해야 하는 주식으로 인기가 있었다.
새로운 보고서에 따르면 이 주식은 여전히 ​​가장 인기 있는 공매도 주식들 중 하나이지만 3개월 연속 최상위권 자리를 잃었다.
어떤 일이 있었나요 (What Happened): 테슬라는 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/04/38390883/tesla-q1-earnings-highlights-ev-giant-misses-wall-street-estimates-makes-cost-cuts-invests-in-ai-sp">1분기 재무 성과</a> 및 생산 및 인도 숫자가 분석가들의 예상을 밑돌았다.
이 주식은 배송이 감소하고 투자자들이 미래 방향에 대해 불안하고 걱정하면서 인기 있는 공매도 주식이었다.
헤이즐트리(Hazeltree)의 새로운 <a href="https://hazeltree.com/lp/hazeltree-monthly-shortside-report/">보고서</a>에 따르면 테슬라는 공매도가 가장 활발한 주식 중 하나이다. 테슬라는 4월 헤이즐트리 공매도 집중도 보고서(Hazeltree Shortside Crowdedness Report)에서 99점 만점에 97점으로 2위를 차지했다.
이 점수로 테슬라는 대형주 중에서 2위를 차지했다.
테슬라보다 앞서 있는 순위는 99점을 획득한 쉐브론(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVX#NYSE">CVX</a>)이다. 쉐브론도 3월 보고서에서 99점을 기록했지만 단독으로 리더보드 1위를 차지한 것은 이번이 처음이다. 테슬라는 1월, 2월, 3월에 99점을 받아 1위에 올랐다.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/feature/newsfeed?gspk=bHVrZWphY29iaTUzNDg&amp;gsxid=tdEE0VrK8Jeg&amp;ref=lukejacobi5348">벤징가 프로(Benzinga Pro)</a>의 데이터에 따르면 현재 테슬라 주식의 3.8%가 공매도 상태이고, 쉐브론 주식의 2.8%가 공매도 상태이다.
석유 주식은 단기 거래 아이디어로 관심을 끌 수 있다. 거대 석유회사 엑슨모빌(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>)은 대형주 중에서 89점으로 3위를 차지했다.
단기매도로 관심이 높아지는 석유주는 엑슨모빌(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>)이 대형주 중에서 89점을 받아 3위를 기록했다.
헤이즐트리는 중형주 중에서 각각 99점을 받아 공매도 부담도를 가장 많이 받은 기업으로 데이포스(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAY#NYSE">DAY</a>)와 컨플루언트(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CFLT#NASDAQ">CFLT</a>)를 선정했다. 지난달 1위 기업인 웨이페어(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/W#NYSE">W</a>)는 5위로 내려앉았다.
앞선 보고서와는 달리, 이번 보고서에는 공매도 부담도가 높은 99점을 받은 소형주 기업이 단 한 개 뿐이었다. 이 유일한 기업은 풋락커(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FL#NYSE">FL</a>)였다.

왜 중요한가 (Why It&#8217;s Important): 테슬라는 만점인 99점을 잃어 2위로 떨어졌지만, 이 주식은 여전히 ​​공매도자들에게 인기 있다.
&#8216;빅쇼트&#8217;로 유명한 투자자 대니 모세스(Danny Moses)는 최근 테슬라 주가가 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/05/38807245/big-short-fame-investor-expects-elon-musks-tesla-shares-to-plunge-70-people-are-going-to-start-t">70% 하락</a>하여 50달러가 될 것이라고 생각한다고 밝혔다.
"핵심 사업에서는 모든 것이 무너지고 있다. 그는 모든 사람에게 로봇택시와 AI, 자율성을 강조하고 있다. 자동차 회사라면 정말 &#8216;보여달라&#8217;는 이야기가 되었고, 시간이 지나면서 이 회사가 어떻게 될지에 대해 사람들이 인내심을 잃기 시작할 것&#8221;이라고 모세스가 말했다.
테슬라는 수년간 투자자들이 전기 자동차와 일론 머스크의 성공에 많은 반대를 하면서 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/01/36672843/tesla-loses-most-shorted-crown-to-this-magnificent-7-stock-as-ev-giants-skeptics-ta" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">인기 있는 공매도 대상</a>이었다. 이 테슬라 CEO는 공매도에 대해 목소리를 높이고 이 회사의 주가가 종종 시장을 능가했기 때문에 여러 번 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/23/11/35862679/elon-musk-blasts-shorts-as-gluttons-for-punishment-after-sen-tommy-tuberville-discloses-bearish-" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">경고</a>를 보냈다.
TSLA, CVX 주가 움직임: 테슬의 주식은 2.01% 하락한 173.99달러에 마감했다. 지난 52주 동안의 주식 가격 변동폭은 138.80달러에서 299.29달러였다. 테슬라 주식은 지난 1년간 5.0% 상승했지만, 올해는 29.7% 하락했다.
쉐브론의 주식 수요일 0.34% 하락한 163.05달러에 마감했다. 지난 52주 동안의 주식 가격 변동폭은 139.62달러에서 171.70달러였다. 쉐브론 주식은 지난 1년간 34.0% 상승했고, 올해는 9.0% 상승다.
