nder normal market conditions, the Fund, which is an actively managed exchange traded fund or ETF, will primarily invest in the equity securities of companies that the Adviser believes to be best positioned to take advantage of or profit from emerging technological or social trends or developments. As part of the investment process, the Adviser seeks to identify potential opportunities created by changes in technology, consumer preferences, demographics, regulatory, environmental and supply/demand dynamics that unfold over long periods of time (secular trends) and the companies that can significantly benefit and profit from such trends. Through a proprietary research driven process, the Adviser then analyzes those companies across sectors and secular trends or themes (e.g., green energy, online shopping or cybersecurity) to try to identify for investment those companies it believes to be thematic winners (companies that the Adviser believes can benefit from positive secular trends or themes) with reasonable valuations.

Shoppers could soon find empty shelves just as summer kicks into high gear. Retailers are facing dwindling inventories, with only 6–8 weeks of supply left, according to the<a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2025/04/29/trump-china-tariffs-damage"> Washington Post.</a>
"Things will become scarce during the big summer holidays," Rita McGrath, a management professor at Columbia Business School, told the <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/04/21/business/mom-and-pop-business-face-highest-risk-of-shortages-from-trump-trade-war-with-china-with-possibility-of-empty-shelves-by-summer/">New York Post</a> in an interview last month.&nbsp;&nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Tariffs Set Off Shipping Freefall</h2>
In late April, importers scrambled to get goods into the country ahead of new tariffs announced by President Donald Trump's administration.&nbsp;

</ul>
On April 2, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=riXtBAi5Kk4">Trump announced</a> a 54% tariff targeting Chinese imports, before sharply increasing it to 145% on April 9. The short 90-day delay in implementation was granted to key trading partners—including Canada, Mexico, and the European Union—but not to China—putting major pressure on American importers relying on Chinese goods.
According to <a href="https://www.vizionapi.com/blog/tariff-shockwave-us-import-bookings-collapse-after-q1-surge">Vizion</a>, an API-based shipment tracking platform, bookings from China to the U.S. fell by 44.49% year-over-year for the week of April 14. This sudden decrease has resulted in numerous &#8220;blank sailings,&#8221; where scheduled cargo ships are canceled due to lack of demand.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Small Retailers Brace For Inventory Crunch</h2>
Jonathan Gold, vice president for supply chain and customs policy at the National Retail Federation,&nbsp; said in an <a href="https://nrf.com/media-center/press-releases/import-cargo-levels-to-drop-sharply-amid-new-tariffs-and-uncertainty">April 9 statement</a> that small- and medium-sized retailers would be the first to face inventory shortages. "Small businesses, in particular, could be hit hardest as tariffs continue rattling global supply chains," he said.

Descartes, a provider of logistics and supply chain management solutions, <a href="https://www.descartes.com/resources/knowledge-center/global-shipping-report-strong-march-imports-despite-escalating-tariffs">reported in March</a>, that China accounted for 32% of U.S. container imports, with top categories including furniture, plastics, and bedding. China&#8217;s <a href="https://www.descartes.com/resources/knowledge-center/global-shipping-report-july-2024-us-container-imports-break-2.5m-TEU-mark">share in July was 40%</a>, with consumer-oriented goods like furniture and plastics leading the imports.
Up to 80% of businesses that rely on Chinese imports could face bankruptcy under the new tariff structure, warned Flexport CEO Ryan Petersen during an appearance on "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dgHWv-Dh6Q">The Prof G Pod" </a>with Scott Galloway.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Blank Sailings Surge As Imports Stall</h2>

'Things Will Become Scarce During The Big Summer Holidays' – What Experts Say Is Coming With 8 Weeks Of Supply Left

You've heard the saying: all press is good press. It's a favorite line in Hollywood, politics—and apparently, Silicon Valley boardrooms. Fortunately, Elon Musk seems to agree. The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/25/01/43101102/elon-musk-the-richest-man-in-the-world-is-estimated-to-earn-over-23-million-every-single-hour-of-the-day-heres-how-hes-spending-it">world's richest man</a> has never been one to sweat the headlines, even when they've taken aim at Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>).
And lately, they've been taking aim a lot.
But if Musk is rattled, he's not showing it. In fact, he's been through worse—and came out smiling.

</ul>
In a <a href="https://youtu.be/u5w_VkAx6tc?si=Y-FiPNEMfw6t5DE8">2022 interview with "Tesla Owners Silicon Valley"</a>, Musk reflected on years of relentless bad press. He recalled that from around 2017 through 2019, the media ran a "non-stop hate stream." "It was like, hate. Like Tesla's a fraud. Tesla's a failure. Fraudulent failure." Then he added, "I remember… for like three years straight the headlines would just be trashing Tesla all over and over and over again. And our sales went up."
"So I guess keep trashing us," he added. "At the end of the day, people were like, ‘Oh yeah, I just kept reading about Tesla. I can't remember what the article was about, but I know I <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44414187/elon-musks-tesla-recalls-over-46000-cybertrucks-due-to-safety-concerns">read about Tesla 17 times</a>.' He acknowledged there's "some truth" to the old saying that "all press is good press."
Trending: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">Are you rich?</a> Here&#8217;s what Americans think you need to be considered wealthy.
Tesla has faced a rough 2025. On March 10, its shares plunged 15%, marking its worst single-day performance since September 2020. This sharp fall wiped out over $800 billion in market capitalization from Tesla's December peak.&nbsp;
Sales have slumped and Musk's political controversies—have sparked protests and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44550250/elon-musks-father-says-tesla-vandalism-and-protests-are-just-free-publicity-claims-all-the-stocks-have-come-down-not-just-tesla">even vandalism at Tesla dealerships</a>. To top it off, rumors swirled that Tesla's board wanted Musk replaced, although Musk and the board quickly <a href="https://x.com/Tesla/status/1917812113315074055">shut those down as "absolutely false."</a>
Musk, regardless, is determined not to fail. Back <a href="https://youtu.be/23GzpbNUyI4?si=URDV-gyQH-0gtR3w">in a 2012 "60 Minutes" interview</a>, when asked about overcoming failures, he famously said: "I don't ever give up. I'd have to be dead or completely incapacitated."

If They Could Show A Plan For Ending World Hunger He'd Donate $6 Billion – ‘I Will Sell Tesla Stock Right Now And Do It'</a>
Today, despite sagging numbers, Tesla's stock did climb from the recent lows. Investors are betting on a turnaround—and Musk has pledged to focus more on Tesla moving forward.
It's a familiar story in Musk's entrepreneurial playbook: critics pile on, markets wobble, and Musk doubles down. Whether it's building rockets, boring tunnels, or selling electric cars, he's thrived on defying expectations. Even if those expectations come wrapped in negative headlines.
As Musk himself put it, bad press might just keep the brand in the spotlight. Keep the stories coming. Musk's not giving up—and he's betting Tesla's customers won't either.

Elon Musk Says For 3 Years Straight, Headlines Would 'Trash' Tesla And Sales Went Up But All Press Is Good Press — 'So I Guess Keep Trashing Us'

It must be one of the great ironies of wealth: the richer you are, the more free stuff you get. Celebrities get gifting suites. Athletes get free gear. And billionaires? Apparently, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/04/45056962/bill-gates-says-hes-happier-as-a-billionaire-than-if-he-were-middle-class-you-dont-need-a-billionbut-freedom-from-worry-is-a-blessing">they get free Big Macs</a>.
That's right—Bill Gates, <a href="https://www.forbes.com/real-time-billionaires/">worth well over $100 billion</a>, has a McDonald's "gold card" granting him free meals for life anywhere in the world. And while it may sound like a recent social media stunt, the story behind Gates' golden ticket actually stretches back almost two decades—and involves his good friend, Warren Buffett.

</ul>
We likely first heard about these elusive McDonald's cards in 2007, when Buffett casually revealed his own <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2007/10/29/whats-in-warren-buffetts-wallet.html">during a CNBC interview</a>. Pulling out his wallet, the Berkshire Hathaway CEO flashed his McGold card and joked, "Bill Gates has one. His is good throughout the world, I guess. Mine is only good in Omaha, but I never leave Omaha so mine is just as good as his!"
Buffett, a well-documented McDonald's enthusiast, is known for ordering sausage McMuffins for&nbsp; breakfast and "splurging" on bacon egg and cheese biscuits <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/10/41230382/warren-buffett-lets-the-stock-market-decide-his-mcdonalds-breakfast-order-when-its-up-he-spends-">when the market is up</a>. He didn't elaborate much more about the elusive card at the time. But the idea of billionaires eating for free sparked plenty of curiosity.
For years, Gates never publicly confirmed his McGold status. That changed in January, when he <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTjDVkhT1/">appeared in a TikTok clip</a> with celebrity chef and social media star Nick DiGiovanni. In the lighthearted video, DiGiovanni asked, "Bill, is it true you have a McDonald's gold card?"
Trending: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">Are you rich?</a> Here&#8217;s what Americans think you need to be considered wealthy.
Gates didn't just say yes—he whipped it out.
The card read:
"Be our guest Bill Gates — Entitled to a complimentary meal at any McDonald's"
Signed by Michael R. Quinlan, McDonald's Chairman and CEO during <a href="https://www.historyoasis.com/post/mcdonalds-ceo-history">the late 1980s and 1990s</a>. That little detail suggests Gates' card was issued somewhere between 1987 and 1999.
As for how he got it? Gates explained: "They actually sent it to me. My friend Warren Buffett got one before I did. But then a few months later, they sent one to me. But I tend not to use it since I can afford to buy the food."
Still, it's a lifelong perk, he added—and confirmed he's "a quarter pounder with cheese guy." When asked how many other golden cards might be floating around, Gates smiled and said, "Hopefully for them, not too many."
DiGiovanni tried his luck asking to borrow it, but Gates—clearly in a playful mood—declined, "Rules are pretty clear." Instead, he handed the chef a $50 gift certificate.

As for the McGold cards themselves, their exact number remains a mystery. The few confirmed holders include Gates, Buffett, and actor Rob Lowe. Most cbards are hyper-local, valid only in specific cities or franchises. Gates' global pass makes his especially rare. McDonald's has occasionally offered McGold Cards through limited-time contests—most recently in December 2022, when a sweepstakes awarded twelve cards allowing winners two free meals a week for fifty years.
But for billionaires like Gates and Buffett, it seems the real value lies more in the novelty than the free fries. Gates even once told a <a href="https://news.mit.edu/2010/gates-visit-0422">2010 MIT audience</a>, "I still haven't found any burgers at any price that are better than McDonald's." He added that after a person reaches a certain net worth, adding more wealth "doesn't mean much. Success becomes all about how you're going to give it back."
So while Gates could dine at the fanciest restaurants on Earth, sometimes nothing beats the taste—or the nostalgia—of a simple cheeseburger. Apparently, even billionaires think the Golden Arches are golden for a reason.

Billionaire Bill Gates Has A 'McGold Card' That Gives Him Free McDonald's Meals For Life, Anywhere In The World — But Says 'I Tend Not To Use It'

India and Pakistan agreed to a U.S.-brokered ceasefire on Saturday after days of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/05/45335338/trump-makes-india-pakistan-ceasefire-declaration-in-casual-manner-thank-you-for-your-attention-to-this-matter" rel="noreferrer noopener">heavy cross-border fighting</a>. But just hours later, explosions in Srinagar and Jammu raised doubts about how long the truce would hold, Reuters reports.
India&#8217;s Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri said in a briefing: &#8220;For the last few hours there have been repeated violations of the understanding arrived at earlier this evening between the director generals of military operations of India and Pakistan&#8221;
&#8220;This is a breach of an understanding arrived at earlier today,&#8221; Misri added.

However, Pakistan&#8217;s Information Minister Attaullah Tarar told Geo News that no ceasefire violations have occurred, despite rising tensions along the LoC, per a report <a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/5/10/india-and-pakistan-agree-to-an-immediate-ceasefire-after-days-of-escalation" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">from</a> Al Jazeera.
&nbsp;Early on Saturday morning, President Trump made a casual announcement about the ceasefire agreement between India and Pakistan.
"After&nbsp;a long night of talks&nbsp;mediated by the United States,&nbsp;I am pleased to announce&nbsp;that India and Pakistan have&nbsp;agreed to a FULL AND&nbsp;IMMEDIATE CEASEFIRE. Congratulations&nbsp;to both Countries on using&nbsp;Common Sense and Great Intelligence.&nbsp;Thank you for your attention&nbsp;to this matter!," Trump&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114483405683675564" rel="noreferrer noopener">posted&nbsp;</a>on Truth Social.
The ceasefire, brokered with assistance from the United States, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey, aimed to halt the most severe military confrontation between the two nations in nearly three decades.
The conflict was initially triggered by India&#8217;s airstrikes on what it described as &#8220;terrorist infrastructure&#8221; in Pakistani-administered Kashmir, following a deadly attack that killed 26 Hindu tourists in Indian Kashmir. Despite the agreement, Indian officials accused Pakistan of violating the ceasefire through cross-border shelling and drone intrusions, leading to further escalations.

India-Pakistan Ceasefire Teeters As Blasts Shatter Calm In Kashmir

Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of&nbsp;Meta, is in the limelight for his extravagant collection of wristwatches. The billionaire&#8217;s assortment ranges from an affordable Casio to a staggering $900,000 Greubel Forsey piece.
What Happened: Zuckerberg&#8217;s collection boasts of a variety of luxury watches. One of the highlights is&nbsp;a Grand Complications In-Line Perpetual&nbsp;Calendar watch from Patek Philippe, revealed in an Instagram post in September 2024. This timepiece, featuring&nbsp;a platinum case and an&nbsp;alligator-leather band, is priced at $141,400.
During a podcast event in September 2024, Zuckerberg was spotted wearing&nbsp;a DB25 Starry Varius from&nbsp;the Swiss watch brand De&nbsp;Bethune. The rose-gold model, one of only 20 produced annually, carries a hefty price tag of over $80,000.
As per the report <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/mark-zuckerberg-watch-collection-2025-5#his-watch-collection-isnt-entirely-luxurious-7">by </a>Insider, at the 2024 Meta Connect conference, Zuckerberg sported&nbsp;a watch from the Swiss&nbsp;brand F.P. Journe&#8217;s Souveraine collection.&nbsp;Made entirely of aluminum, this watch was projected to fetch between $30,000 and $54,000 at auction.

In a video from January 2025, Zuckerberg was seen donning&nbsp;a Greubel Forsey watch that&nbsp;retails for over $900,000. This white gold watch, comprising 281 pieces, is hand-assembled with only two or three units crafted each year.
His collection also includes&nbsp;a yellow-gold Rolex Daytona Le&nbsp;Mans, with&nbsp;a resale value of up&nbsp;to $300,000, and a GA2100WS-7A from Casio&#8217;s G-Shock line, which retails for $120, making it the most affordable watch he has publicly worn.
Why It Matters: Mark Zuckerberg&#8217;s watch collection is a testament to his diverse taste and appreciation for craftsmanship. The range of his collection, from a modest Casio to a luxurious Patek Philippe, reflects his eclectic style. 
His choice of timepieces, often seen during public appearances, has sparked interest and curiosity among watch enthusiasts and followers alike.

When it comes to personal finance, Suze Orman is clear: You are the best person to take care of your financial future. In a recent episode of her "<a href="https://omny.fm/shows/suze-ormans-women-and-money/suze-school-the-actions-you-need-to-take-now-with-your-money">Women &amp; Money</a>" podcast, she reminded listeners that "the government can't save you," and encouraged everyone to take responsibility for three key areas: debt, income and expenses, and investments.
Here's how Orman breaks it down — and what actions she suggests taking now.

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">1. Take Control of Your Debt</h2>
Orman separates debt into two categories: good and bad. Good debt might include a mortgage or a car loan — especially if you need the car to get to work. Bad debt, on the other hand, usually comes in the form of high-interest credit card balances used for nonessential spending.
If you're dealing with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/02/43888952/americans-owe-a-record-1-21-trillion-in-credit-card-debt-expert-warns-theres-no-end-in-sight">credit card debt</a>, Orman suggests organizing your cards by interest rate, from highest to lowest. Write down the minimum payment due on each one, then total those minimums and add 20% to the total. You'll make the minimum payments on all cards, but apply the extra 20% toward the card with the highest interest rate. Once that one's paid off, you roll the entire amount you were paying into the next highest card — and so on — until the debt is gone.
She also encourages maintaining your credit limit, warning that closing cards can lower your FICO score.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">2. Review Income and Expenses</h2>
The next area <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/04/44715539/suze-orman-says-when-sentiment-is-this-fearful-its-not-the-time-to-sell-but-if-youll-need-the-mo">Orman</a> says to evaluate is your cash flow — what's coming in versus what's going out.
Orman suggests a simple exercise: Look at what you spent over the past year and divide that number by 12 to get your average monthly expenses. Then compare that number to your after-tax, after-retirement-contribution income. If your income doesn't cover your expenses — or just barely does — you have some work to do.
"You either have to earn more, or you have to spend less," she says. "Or you can do both."
Orman emphasizes that your relationship with money isn't just about reaching a specific dollar amount. It's about how you value money — and by extension, yourself. Being proactive about your income and expenses now can help you avoid painful surprises down the line.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">3. Keep Investing for the Long Term</h2>
Finally, Orman says you should continue investing steadily — especially in retirement accounts like Roth IRAs, 401(k)s, or 403(b)s — if you don't need the money for at least five to 10 years.
Her advice is to stick with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44550600/redditor-asks-if-dollar-cost-averaging-into-individual-stocks-makes-sense-i-was-thinking-of-adding-another-200-bi-weekly-into-some-individual-us-stocks">dollar-cost averaging</a>: investing the same amount regularly, regardless of market conditions. This strategy helps you buy more shares when prices are low and fewer when prices are high, smoothing out the impact of market volatility over time.
And if you're 50 or older, don't forget: You can contribute up to $8,000 to an IRA in 2025, thanks to catch-up contributions.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Bottom Line</h2>
Orman's message is simple but powerful: The economy, markets, and government programs may be uncertain, but your personal finances don't have to be. Focus on eliminating bad debt, understanding your spending, and investing for your future.
After all, as she puts it, "Nobody is going to care about your money more than you do."

Debt, Income, And Investments: Suze Orman Says We Should All Be Focused On These Because 'The Government Can't Save You'

Elon Musk is <a href="https://www.forbes.com/real-time-billionaires/">worth over $380 billion</a>, yet when his 77-year-old mother, Maye Musk, comes to visit, she doesn't get a penthouse suite or even a plush guest room. Nope — she sleeps on blankets, couches, or a mattress in his garage. And she's perfectly fine with it.
"You can't have a fancy house near a rocket site," Maye explained in a 2022 <a href="https://www.thetimes.com/culture/books/article/maye-musk-i-called-elon-genius-boy-he-remembered-everything-z0l2ds0sh">interview with The Times of London</a>, referencing SpaceX's Starbase launch facility in Texas. "I have to sleep in the garage."

</ul>
She's not exaggerating. In fact, Maye's made light of the situation multiple times. In an <a href="https://x.com/mayemusk/status/1645682178246823937">X post the same year</a>, she shared:
"Many memories of sleeping on mattresses or blankets on the floor, on couches, or a bed in the garage. This happens to @kimbal @ToscaMusk and me. We adapt. It's still better than sleeping on the ground in the Kalahari Desert with lions or hyenas nearby, which I did as a child."

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
That "we adapt" motto seems to be a Musk family tradition.
It's not just Maye. Elon himself has slept in less-than-glamorous spots. Speaking at the <a href="https://youtu.be/E-squeb0YJA?si=lp49VvGXFgOClccN">2022 Baron Investment Conference</a>, he recalled sleeping on a factory floor in California and Nevada for three years. "It was damn uncomfortable," he admitted.
Trending: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">Are you rich?</a> Here&#8217;s what Americans think you need to be considered wealthy.
This all fits Musk's minimalist streak. In 2020, he vowed to sell "almost all physical possessions" and declared, <a href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1256239554148724737">"Will own no house,"</a> citing freedom as the goal. He followed through, offloading multiple California mansions.
But despite publicly swearing off homeownership, Musk reportedly upgraded to a $6 million, six-bedroom mansion in West Lake Hills, Texas, in 2022 — the same year his mom said she was sleeping in the garage, according to <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/05/technology/elon-musk-texas-neighbors.html">The New York Times</a>. A 16-foot chain-link fence around the property quickly tipped off neighbors that this wasn't just any new arrival.
So, yes, while Musk officially claimed to own only a $50,000, two-bedroom tiny home near the launch site, reports suggest he may have had some real estate back in rotation. Whether that house was close enough to the rocket site for Maye's comfort is up for debate.

If They Could Show A Plan For Ending World Hunger He'd Donate $6 Billion – ‘I Will Sell Tesla Stock Right Now And Do It'</a>
When skeptics on X asked Musk in 2023 about persistent rumors of his father's supposed connection to an emerald mine, Elon shot back, "I'd just like to see a picture of this mine. Like, where is it exactly!?" <a href="https://x.com/mayemusk/status/1655176037607645184">Maye chimed in shortly after</a>, writing, "Me too! And why did we sleep in one-bedroom apartments and on the floor?" effectively shutting down the long-running myth.
Whether it's a garage floor, a couch, or the occasional $6 million mansion, the Musk family seems <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/25/01/43101102/elon-musk-the-richest-man-in-the-world-is-estimated-to-earn-over-23-million-every-single-hour-of-the-day-heres-how-hes-spending-it">more focused on adaptability than luxury</a>.

Elon Musk's 77-Year-Old Mom Says 'I Have To Sleep In The Garage' And On Floor Blankets When Visiting Her Son — Richest Man In The World: 'We Adapt'

Editor's note: This article was originally published on Forbes in January 2025. It has been updated in May 2025 to reflect new developments, including Brittney Griner's canceled appearance at the Women Grow summit.
"I believed in the plant, even when everyone told me I was throwing my life away," says <a href="https://elplanteo.com/chanda-macias-reina-zulu-cannabis/">Dr. Chanda Macias</a>.
Macias stands out in the cannabis space as a scientist, entrepreneur and trailblazer. As the CEO of National Holistic Healing Center in Washington, D.C., she became the first Black woman to open and operate a medical cannabis dispensary on the East Coast. But her journey wasn't easy.
Raised in a working-class family, Macias became a single mother as a teenager when her son's father was incarcerated during the height of the war on drugs. "No one ever thought that I was going to go to college," she recalls. Yet, she enrolled at Howard University, where she discovered a passion for science. "Yes, I was working two jobs and raising a kid, but I fell in love with science," she says.
As Macias pursued cancer-related research, she began noticing the plant&#8217;s potential. "It was common knowledge that if you had cancer, you had to find someone to get marijuana," she explains. Despite its illegality, cannabis was already a quiet staple of symptom relief in her community.
She delved into emerging research, especially studies out of Israel, and approached faculty about integrating cannabis into her work. "He said, ‘It's illegal.' And I'm like, ‘We're scientists,'" she remembers.

Although direct cannabis research was off-limits, Macias pivoted to prostate cancer studies. She later joined Colgate-Palmolive as a scientist, but the desire to return to cannabis never left. When D.C. announced its medical dispensary licensing process in 2012, she immediately said, "I'm doing this."
She drained her savings, stopped paying her mortgage and moved into a small apartment with her family to afford a lease. "I lost my house, but I believed in myself and the plant," she says. Her initial landlord backed out, and it took years of advocacy to secure a location. During that time, Macias traveled to Africa to lead infectious disease research.
<ul class="wp-block-list">

</ul>
In 2015, she returned to the U.S. after regulators warned her license would be revoked unless she opened within 60 days. With help from D.C. cultivator Corey Barnett, who sold her a single ounce of cannabis on credit, she opened National Holistic Healing Center with 13 patients and furniture from her apartment.
Her work expanded beyond D.C. In Louisiana, Southern University tapped Macias to rescue its struggling medical cannabis program. She raised over $2 million, launched the operation, and helped the HBCU become the first in the U.S. to grow and manufacture legal medical cannabis.
In 2020, she was crowned Queen Zulu during Mardi Gras, joining the ranks of cultural icons like Louis Armstrong. Initially met with resistance due to her cannabis ties, Macias chose not to hide her identity. "The community at first actively tried to remove me," she says. "But the men of Zulu stood up for me. They said, ‘This is our Queen.'"

Her leadership extended into Women Grow, where she rose to CEO. Under her direction, the organization became a national force for education, mentorship and entrepreneurship.
In 2024, Macias co-created Hope, a product line tailored for children with autism, in partnership with advocate Erica Daniels. Hope generated over $1 million in its first year, offering relief to families seeking alternative treatments.
Women Grow's 2025 Leadership Summit was set to mark another milestone, with WNBA star Brittney Griner scheduled to deliver a keynote. But on Feb. 17, Griner abruptly left the event after finding a disturbing message in her hotel room. Women Grow called it "an attack" and vowed to continue its work.

"Attacking women for coming together to lead and create change will not stop us," Macias said at the time. "We will not be silenced."
Today, Macias continues to mentor operators, push for equitable legislation and warn about the risks of corporate consolidation. "Taxation will kill your business," she notes. Rescheduling to Schedule III might bring benefits but could also allow Big Pharma to dominate.
For Macias, the mission is deeply personal. Her children grew up with cannabis as medicine. One son, living with Crohn's disease, uses it for relief. Another now works alongside her.
"No means keep trying," she says. "If I'm not out there sharing this message, they might not have a second chance at life."

Interview

From Homeless To Queen Zulu: Dr. Chanda Macias' Journey To Cannabis Leadership And Brittney Griner's Inspiration

Charlie Munger, the late vice-chairman of Berkshire Hathaway, once offered some words of wisdom for investors dealing with market turbulence.
What Happened: Munger, who was a close collaborator of Warren Buffett at&nbsp;Berkshire Hathaway, underscored the necessity for long-term investors to weather market volatility. He argued that if investors are unable to tolerate substantial market downturns, they are not cut out to be ordinary shareholders.
Munger drew from his personal experience during the 2009 financial meltdown, when his Berkshire Hathaway shares had plummeted by over 50%. Despite this setback, he retained his faith in the company and persisted in his stock market investments.
"I think it's in the nature of long-term shareholding that the normal vicissitudes in markets means that the long-term holder has the quoted value of his stocks go down by, say, 50%," Munger <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3XlBrohrIUc">told </a>BBC in an interview. 
"If you're not willing to keep your chin up during the occasional rout, you're not fit to be a common shareholder, and you deserve the mediocre result you're going to get compared to the people who can be more philosophical about these market fluctuations," he added.

Both Munger and Buffett adhered to Buffett&#8217;s renowned mantra:&nbsp;&#8220;Be fearful when others are&nbsp;greedy, and be greedy when&nbsp;others are fearful.&#8221; 
This strategy guided them to consistently acquire undervalued stocks, trusting in the eventual success of American businesses.
Furthermore, Munger counseled investors to exploit opportunities to purchase assets at substantial markdowns during major market slumps, instead of holding out for better conditions.
Why It Matters:&nbsp;Munger&#8217;s advice comes at a time when market volatility is a significant concern for many investors. His words serve as a reminder that patience and long-term vision are key to navigating turbulent markets. 
His strategy of capitalizing on market downturns by purchasing undervalued stocks has proven successful in the past, and may serve as a useful guide for investors in the current climate. 
His belief in the eventual success of American businesses also offers a positive outlook for investors worried about the future of the U.S. economy.

Thinking Machines Lab, the AI company founded by Murati early this year, is raising a $2 billion seed round at a $10 billion valuation.
According to<a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/mira-murati-is-asking-investors-to-commit-to-at-least-50-million-2025-5"> Business Insider</a>, the round is being led by Andreessen Horowitz, with support from Sequoia Capital and other top-tier investors. Those interested in backing the venture are being asked to commit a minimum of $50 million per check, a staggering requirement for what would be one of the largest seed rounds in startup history.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A High-Stakes Bet On Next-Gen AI</h2>
The startup's ambition is to reshape the way artificial intelligence is built and understood. According to the company&#8217;s<a href="https://thinkingmachines.ai/"> website</a>, Thinking Machines Lab will focus on making AI &#8220;more widely understood, customizable, and generally capable,&#8221; highlighting a shift toward both transparency and user control.
That positioning places the company in direct conceptual competition with AI giants like OpenAI, Google's Gemini, Elon Musk's xAI, and Anthropic, which are all currently racing to define the next generation of large language models and autonomous systems, Business Insider reported.
Murati spent more than six years at OpenAI, contributing to the development of ChatGPT and other advanced AI research projects. According to Business Insider, she was briefly appointed interim CEO in November 2023, after the board unexpectedly removed Sam Altman, a decision that triggered internal upheaval across the company. Following Altman's reinstatement just days later, Murati returned to her position as chief technology officer.

Their involvement may signal strong institutional belief in Murati's long-term potential.
Thinking Machines Lab is also assembling a brain trust of former OpenAI engineers and scientists. According to<a href="https://thefoundersmagazine.com/thinking-machines-lab/"> The Founders Magazine</a>, team members include Bob McGrew, former head of research at OpenAI, Alec Radford, one of the minds behind the original GPT, Barret Zoph, a top researcher on ChatGPT, and John Schulman, co-lead of the Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback technique that powers modern AI safety.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A $50M Entry Ticket To The Future Of AI</h2>
Few early-stage startups command minimum investments in the tens of millions. According to Business Insider, Murati&#8217;s $50 million threshold is a practical necessity since training large models and building scalable infrastructure requires capital on a massive scale.
If the raise closes as expected, Thinking Machines Lab will stand beside OpenAI and Anthropic as one of the most well-capitalized AI startups in the world, Business Insider says, and one of the only ones led by a woman.
With technical vision, elite backing, and a mission to open up the black box of AI, Murati's next chapter may reshape the way the world builds and interacts with intelligent systems.

Former OpenAI CTO Mira Murati's $2B AI Startup Thinking Machines Lab Sets $50M Investment Minimum, Backed By Andreessen Horowitz And Sequoia Capital

In a recent cybersecurity incident, a significant&nbsp;data breach at a human&nbsp;resources firm has exposed the personal information of hundreds of thousands of Americans, increasing their vulnerability to identity theft and fraud.
What Happened: Maryland-based firm&nbsp;Kelly Benefits&nbsp;revealed a major data breach impacting 413,032 individuals in a&nbsp;filing with the Office of&nbsp;the Maine Attorney General. The company&#8217;s internal probe discovered that an unauthorized party had gained access to its database, pilfering customer information such as names, birth dates,&nbsp;Social Security numbers, tax ID&nbsp;numbers, and financial account data.
According to the <a href="https://www.maine.gov/agviewer/content/ag/985235c7-cb95-4be2-8792-a1252b4f8318/7a0c076f-6530-433d-b017-bb849c81b4b8.html">report</a>, the breach took place from December 12 to 17, 2024. After a thorough examination of the compromised files, Kelly Benefits concluded its analysis on March 3, 2025. The company provides a variety of HR&nbsp;services, including benefits administration, payroll&nbsp;solutions, and retirement planning.

Kelly Benefits has alerted the affected individuals and is providing&nbsp;12-month credit monitoring and identity&nbsp;theft protection services. Despite reporting the incident&nbsp;to federal law enforcement and&nbsp;regulatory agencies, the company states that it has found &#8220;no evidence of misuse of&nbsp;any information related to this&nbsp;incident&#8221; to date.
Why It Matters: This incident underscores the growing threat of cyber attacks and data breaches to businesses and their customers. Companies like Kelly Benefits hold sensitive information, making them prime targets for cybercriminals. 
While the firm has taken steps to mitigate the impact of the breach, the incident serves as a stark reminder of the importance of robust cybersecurity measures. It also highlights the need for swift action and transparency in the event of a breach to protect affected individuals and maintain trust.
As cyber threats continue to evolve, businesses must stay vigilant and invest in advanced security measures to safeguard their data and protect their customers.

The kingdom has long expressed interest in developing its own nuclear energy capabilities, and the U.S. administration appears eager to engage in such a venture, the Associated Press <a target="_blank" href="https://apnews.com/article/civilian-nuclear-program-saudi-arabia-trump-iran-be8697a1890d0158cef57babb47e7583" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>.
Energy Secretary Chris Wright recently traveled to Saudi Arabia ahead of the president's visit and signaled that discussions were progressing.
He suggested that significant advancements in nuclear collaboration between the two nations could be expected in the near future.

The potential deal holds strategic importance for both countries.
For the U.S., it offers a chance to edge out Chinese and Russian influence in the Gulf's burgeoning energy sector.
For Saudi Arabia, it's about reducing domestic oil consumption by turning to nuclear power for civilian energy use and tapping into its own uranium reserves, Associated Press adds.
However, the prospect of allowing Saudi Arabia to enrich uranium domestically has raised alarm among nonproliferation advocates.
While such enrichment is necessary for nuclear energy, it also carries the risk of being repurposed for weapons development, a move that could destabilize regional security dynamics.
The U.S. has historically avoided transferring enrichment capabilities to non-nuclear-weapon states.
Under the previous administration, nuclear cooperation was part of a larger negotiation package that included arms sales and normalization of Saudi-Israeli ties, Associated Press notes.
While the Trump administration has decoupled these elements to some extent, experts believe the nuclear issue could still be used as leverage in pushing forward regional diplomatic goals, particularly within the framework of the Abraham Accords.
Despite current diplomatic overtures toward Iran, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has previously stated that if Tehran were to acquire nuclear arms, Saudi Arabia would likely pursue the same path.

Trump Eyeing Nuclear Deal With Saudi Arabia? China and Russia Watch Closely

The inflation crisis that has been hammering the U.S. economy is now taking a visible toll on consumers. Last month, <a href="https://www.conference-board.org/topics/consumer-confidence">data</a> showed that consumer confidence in the U.S. fell to a five-year low. The country's economy shrank in the first quarter for the first time since 2022.&nbsp;
The current earnings season is highlighting the struggles of companies exposed to consumer spending. Fast-food giant McDonald&#8217;s Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MCD#NYSE">MCD</a>) March quarter earnings and revenue missed Wall Street's estimates, while the company saw a 3.6% drop in same-store sales in the U.S., the biggest <a href="https://www.wsj.com/business/hospitality/mcdonalds-mcd-q1-earnings-report-2025-76b4d394-9b782952">decline</a> since 2020.

</ul>
McDonald's CEO Chris Kempczinski was frank in pointing out the plight of consumers impacting the company during its <a href="https://seekingalpha.com/article/4780500-mcdonalds-corporation-mcd-q1-2025-earnings-call-transcript">earnings call</a> with analysts. The executive said that quick-service restaurant industry traffic from the low-income consumers plunged by double digits compared with the previous quarter. Middle-income consumers, who had been holding up relatively well until a few months ago, also saw similar declines, which indicates that economic pressure on traffic has "broadened," according to Kempczinski.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">‘Heightened Anxiety'</h2>
However, as the average American's wallet feels the squeeze, fast-food spending from rich customers remains resilient.
"Traffic growth from the high-income cohort remains solid, illustrating the divided U.S. economy, where low and middle-income consumers in particular are being weighed down by the cumulative impact of inflation, and heightened anxiety about the economic outlook," Kempczinski said.
Trending: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">Are you rich?</a> Here&#8217;s what Americans think you need to be considered wealthy.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Traffic Weak Despite $5 Value Meals&nbsp;</h2>
McDonald's saw consumer weakness despite <a href="https://corporate.mcdonalds.com/corpmcd/our-stories/article/mcdonalds-launching-mcvalue-platform-inus-restaurants-in2025.html">launching</a> new $5 value meals earlier this year across its U.S. restaurants to woo customers.&nbsp; Kempczinski said in the latest earnings call that the company knows affordability and value are "paramount" in the current environment, and it has launched cheaper meals across five major international markets.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Consumer Woes Across International Markets</h2>
The economic struggles of consumers aren't just limited to the U.S. Kempczinski said during the call that the company is seeing a "similar story" in international markets, where comparable sales declined 1% from last year. Traffic was positive in just two of the five major markets.

McDonald's total <a href="https://corporate.mcdonalds.com/content/dam/sites/corp/nfl/pdf/Q1_25_Earnings_Release.pdf">revenue</a> fell 3% year over year in the first quarter. The company also saw comparable sales declines in the UK, while the Middle East and Japan posted gains.&nbsp;
"We&#8217;ll remain agile to ensure McValue continues to meet consumer needs and positions us for success in a challenging marketplace," Kempczinski added. "For the remainder of 2025, we&#8217;ll continue to include everyday value meal deals starting at $5, given how the current $5 Meal Deal in particular has resonated with customers."
McDonald's rivals are also beginning to see the impact of contractions in consumer spending. Yum! Brands (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/YUM#NYSE">YUM</a>), the owner of Pizza Hut, Taco Bell and KFC, recently <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/30/yum-brands-yum-q1-2025-earnings.html">missed</a> Q1 revenue expectations as Pizza Hut's same-store sales slid 5% in the U.S.

'A Divided Economy': McDonald's CEO Says Rich Keep Dining Out But Average Income Consumers Feeling Economic 'Anxiety'

Americans are scrambling to buy new cars as President Donald Trump's tariffs on imported vehicles and auto parts are expected to drive up prices. Data from Cox Automotive <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/u-s-new-vehicle-sales-surge-buyers-hope-to-beat-tariff-hikes/">shows</a> that new car sales in March rose 17% from the month before and 12% from March 2024. Some analysts <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/cars/2025/05/05/economists-tariff-costs-per-vehicle/83446003007/">estimate</a> the tariff impact to range from $2,000 to $15,000 per vehicle in the U.S.
However, before you panic and rush to buy a new car for no solid reason, take a lesson from Warren Buffett.

It's common to come across billionaires bragging about their luxury car fleets, huge mansions and private jets. But it's rare to find someone like Buffett—one of the five richest people in the world, worth $158 billion—driving the same sedan for eight years.
Buffett is known for not spending needlessly on new cars and for avoiding any purchases he doesn&#8217;t need. Buffett once <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H5pjizrVQFQ">explained</a> why he dislikes going car shopping during a public event:.
"I&#8217;m not ready for that. It&#8217;s another car. I look at that like anything else. It would probably take me half a day to go through the exercise of buying a car and reading the owner&#8217;s manual and all that, and that&#8217;s just a half a day I don&#8217;t want to give up in my life for no benefit," Buffett said.
Trending: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">Are you rich?</a> Here&#8217;s what Americans think you need to be considered wealthy.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">"Totally Happy" With Existing Car</h2>
The billionaire, 94, said safety is the top feature he looks for when buying a new car, adding that he does not "like to" trade away his time for a new vehicle because he's happy with his car.
"I&#8217;m totally happy with the car. I just don&#8217;t want to trade away the amount of time I&#8217;d have to spend fooling around to get familiar with the—and get title to—and do all the things, the rest of the things, pick one out, saw a new car," Buffett said during the event. "But if there&#8217;s a safer car made, I&#8217;ll be driving in it."

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Check for a New Car in "30 Seconds"</h2>
Buffett added that he would write a check in "30 seconds" if he could find a better car than his current one.
The Oracle of Omaha famously drove his 2006 Cadillac DTS for eight years, until General Motors (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) CEO Mary Barra in 2014 finally convinced him to upgrade to a newer, better model. And it took way more than 30 seconds to convince the billionaire. Buffett asked Barra what made the new Cadillac models better:
&#8220;She told me about 50 things that were better," Buffett <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/joannmuller/2014/07/15/warren-buffett-shares-the-inside-scoop-he-bought-a-cadillac-not-a-subaru/">told Forbes</a> in 2014. "By the time we got to lunch &#8212; and it&#8217;s only five or six minutes &#8212; she sold me.&#8221;
The billionaire traded in his 2006 Cadillac for a 2014 Cadillac XTS.

Warren Buffett Didn't Buy a New Car for Years — Here's Why You Might Want to Wait (Even With Looming Tariffs)

President Donald Trump&#8217;s administration is reportedly weighing the possibility of suspending habeas corpus, a legal safeguard that allows individuals to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/45002141/trumps-deportation-policies-could-worsen-social-securitys-funding-shortfall-by-11-warns-new-report" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">challenge unlawful detentions in court</a>.
The idea has surfaced amid the administration&#8217;s increasing friction with the judiciary over immigration-related arrests and deportations, <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c0qgz18glljo" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a> BBC, citing a statement from Stephen Miller, the White House Deputy Chief of Staff.
BBC writes that Miller told reporters Friday that the U.S. Constitution permits suspension of this right in cases of &#8220;rebellion or invasion,&#8221; a justification the administration may consider in its crackdown on undocumented immigration.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/05/45335338/trump-makes-india-pakistan-ceasefire-declaration-in-casual-manner-thank-you-for-your-attention-to-this-matter" rel="noreferrer noopener">Trump Makes India-Pakistan Ceasefire Declaration In Casual Manner: &#8216;Thank You For Your Attention To This Matter!&#8217;</a>
Miller said that judicial challenges to immigration-related detentions are obstructing enforcement efforts, and that the White House is exploring aggressive legal measures in response.
He referred to habeas corpus as a &#8220;privilege&#8221; rather than a guaranteed right and asserted that Congress had already curtailed court jurisdiction over immigration matters.
Legal experts were quick to dispute Miller&#8217;s interpretation, noting that only Congress has the authority to suspend habeas corpus.
The administration&#8217;s approach has come under judicial scrutiny in recent weeks.
A federal judge recently ordered the release of a Turkish student detained for six weeks following his article criticizing Israeli policies, BBC adds. Another judge mandated the release of a Palestinian advocate from Columbia University, citing habeas corpus protections.
Still, some judges have ruled in favor of the administration in similar cases.
Trump, while not publicly mentioning habeas corpus, hinted in April that prior presidents had used powerful legal tools to push past judicial blocks on deportation policies.
Habeas corpus — Latin for &#8220;you shall have the body&#8221; — is a <a href="https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/habeas%20corpus" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">legal</a> principle in the U.S. Constitution.
It has only been suspended four times in American history, including during the Civil War under President Abraham Lincoln and in Hawaii after the Pearl Harbor attack in 1941.
Returning to the White House with renewed focus on immigration, Trump has made it clear that his administration will explore all avenues to expedite deportations.
While detention numbers have surged, deportation efforts have faced legal and logistical hurdles — including a mistaken removal of at least one individual.

Trump Administration Reportedly Weighing Suspension of Habeas Corpus

For the first time since the COVID pandemic, zero cargo ships are on their way from China to the two primary ports in California. This sudden halt in trade comes in the wake of the Trump administration imposing substantial tariffs on Chinese imports.
What Happened: According to a report, no cargo vessels had left China for the two primary&nbsp;West Coast ports in the&nbsp;past 12 hours. This is a stark contrast to the situation just six days ago when 41 vessels were slated&nbsp;to depart China for the&nbsp;San Pedro Bay Complex, which&nbsp;comprises&nbsp;the Port of Los Angeles&nbsp;and Port of Long Beach.
The ongoing trade war initiated by President Donald Trump has led to the implementation of heavy tariffs on a majority of Chinese imports last month. 
This has resulted in a significant decrease in the number of ships carrying cargo to American ports. The sudden dip in vessels departing from China has sparked concerns among port officials, <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2025/05/10/business/zero-ships-china-trade-ports-pandemic">reports</a> CNN.
Mario Cordero,&nbsp;the CEO of the Port&nbsp;of Long Beach, expressed his concerns stating, &#8220;That&#8217;s cause for alarm.&#8221; The country&#8217;s busiest ports are experiencing a steep drop in cargo, with&nbsp;the Port of Long Beach&nbsp;witnessing a 35-40% fall compared to the usual cargo volume.

Trade representatives from the US and China&nbsp;are set to meet in&nbsp;Geneva this weekend in an attempt to diffuse the escalating trade war. President Trump has proposed reducing&nbsp;the tariff rate with China&nbsp;to 80%, but the final decision rests with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.
For consumers who are already grappling with&nbsp;higher prices or shortages of&nbsp;certain items, a resolution can&#8217;t come soon enough. 
Cordero warned, &#8220;If things don&#8217;t change quickly&#8230;we may be seeing empty products on the shelves. This is now going to be felt by the consumer in the coming 30 days.&#8221;
Why It Matters: The abrupt halt in cargo shipments from China to the US is a direct consequence of the ongoing trade war between the two economic giants. 
This has led to a significant drop in cargo volume at major US ports, raising concerns about potential supply chain disruptions and price hikes for consumers. 
The upcoming meeting between&nbsp;US and Chinese trade representatives&nbsp;will be crucial in determining the future course of this trade war and its impact on global trade dynamics.

No Cargo Vessels En Route From China To California For First Time Since Pandemic

Elon Musk-owned SpaceX&nbsp;faces a lawsuit from a former employee, who alleges discriminatory treatment and wrongful termination due to his chronic bowel disease.
What Happened: Douglas Altshuler, 58, has accused SpaceX of monitoring and disciplining him for frequent restroom use, a necessity due to his Crohn&#8217;s disease.
In the <a href="https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/25935160-altshuler-v-spacex/">lawsuit</a>, Altshuler claims that despite providing a doctor&#8217;s note explaining his condition, his supervisors timed&nbsp;his bathroom breaks and reprimanded&nbsp;him if he exceeded 10 minutes.
Altshuler has also mentioned that he was threatened with termination for using the restroom too often. His request for&nbsp;special accommodation was dismissed as&nbsp;&#8220;unsubstantiated&#8221;. He was eventually fired for what SpaceX termed &#8220;deficient performance&#8221;.

The suit also alleges that Altshuler was denied proper meal breaks, underpaid, and exposed to hazardous chemicals. He reported witnessing industrial parts being dried in a kitchen where employees prepared meals.
Altshuler&#8217;s attorney, Clive Pontusson, said in a statement, &#8220;Employees&nbsp;have the right to request&nbsp;accommodations for disabilities without fear&nbsp;of losing their jobs. They&nbsp;also have the right to&nbsp;report unsafe conditions without facing&nbsp;retaliation.&#8221;
Why It Matters: This lawsuit comes as a significant blow to SpaceX, a company known for its groundbreaking space exploration initiatives. 
Altshuler, who&nbsp;began working at SpaceX in&nbsp;2023 and was fired last&nbsp;year,&nbsp;is seeking back pay and&nbsp;damages. The company has yet to comment on the lawsuit.

Former Employee Sues Musk's SpaceX, Claiming He Was Fired Over Bathroom Breaks

A Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) whale that had been dormant for over ten years has sprung into action, transferring a massive $207.51 million worth of Bitcoin.
What Happened: The Bitcoin whale shifted 2,186 BTC to another wallet. This Bitcoin stash was first received by the dormant wallet in July 2013 when BTC was priced&nbsp;at $85. At the time&nbsp;of this recent transaction,&nbsp;Bitcoin was trading at $94,929,&nbsp;indicating a price increase of about 111,581% over nearly 142 months.
According to the report <a href="https://bitinfocharts.com/bitcoin/address/1NWPS2fWw6FMeJEjg6DMMpYxQyB4TKpVsb">by </a>BitInfoCharts, the whale also transferred a smaller Bitcoin stash that it received on two separate occasions in 2014. 
In March&nbsp;2014, the wallet received 82&nbsp;BTC when Bitcoin was trading around $612, and in November 2014, it received 75 BTC when Bitcoin was approximately $377.

During its period of inactivity, the wallet also received small amounts of Bitcoin, suggesting that it may have been a target of dusting attacks. These attacks aim to de-anonymize a cryptocurrency user by sending small&nbsp;amounts of Bitcoin to an&nbsp;address to monitor the user&#8217;s holdings and transaction activities.
Why It Matters: The sudden activity of this ancient Bitcoin whale is significant in the cryptocurrency market. It highlights the potential for large, dormant accounts to suddenly become active and make substantial transactions. This can have a considerable impact on Bitcoin&#8217;s price and market dynamics. 
The whale&#8217;s massive profit also underscores the substantial price appreciation of Bitcoin over the past decade, reinforcing its status as a lucrative investment. 
The dusting attacks on the wallet further emphasize the ongoing security and privacy concerns in the cryptocurrency space.

Decade-Old Bitcoin Whale Emerges, Transfers $207.51 Million BTC With Nearly 112,000% Profit

In a recent reaffirmation of her bullish stance, ARK Invest CEO Cathie Wood has once again predicted that Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) will hit a minimum of $700,000 in the coming years.
What Happened: Speaking at a recent interview, Wood reiterated ARK&#8217;s forecast of a minimum 580% surge in Bitcoin&#8217;s current value by 2030. 
She <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVsSn5EBFlE">detailed</a>, &#8220;We&nbsp;have always had a 2030&nbsp;target, the base case in&nbsp;the $700,000 to $750,000 range,&nbsp;the bull case in the&nbsp;$1.5 million range.&#8221;
Wood highlighted three primary factors propelling this audacious Bitcoin price prediction. These encompass Bitcoin&#8217;s potential to seize a share from gold or expand the store-of-value market, institutions starting to invest in Bitcoin, and emerging market use cases.

In addition to her Bitcoin forecast, Wood also shared her views on the current economic situation. She stated that the US is in a recession but anticipates it to end soon, following&nbsp;more clarity around President Trump's&nbsp;tariff negotiations. She is optimistic that this will trigger considerable economic growth, partly driven by advancements in artificial intelligence (AI).

"I just put out a letter talking about the rolling recession we've been in for the last three years, since the Fed jacked up rates. We got a negative quarter in the first quarter, and potentially in the second quarter as well. And I think more and more people are getting concerned about an extended recession, and amid all the uncertainty, we actually think we're at the end of this rolling recession, and that we are moving into a period, after all of this uncertainty, of much greater productivity,&#8221; Wood added. 
&#8220;I&nbsp;think we're going to see a lot more productivity driven growth, which means inflation is going to be much lower than expected, which is going to be very capital friendly," she shared. 
At the time of writing, Bitcoin was trading at $102,811, marking a 2.4% increase&nbsp;in the last 24 hours.
Why It Matters: Wood&#8217;s prediction is significant as it reflects the growing confidence in Bitcoin&#8217;s potential to disrupt traditional financial markets. The forecast also underscores the increasing institutional interest in Bitcoin as a viable investment. 
Furthermore, Wood&#8217;s comments on the economic climate highlight the potential role of Bitcoin and AI in driving economic growth post-recession.

Cathie Wood Stands Firm on Bold $700,000 Bitcoin Prediction for Investors, Says 'Bull Case in the $1.5 Million Range'

퓨처펀드 LLC의 매니징 파트너인 게리 블랙은 화요일(11일) 리프트(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LYFT#NASDAQ">LYFT</a>)의 기록적인 2024년 실적을 강조했다. 그는 2024년 리프트가 미국과 캐나다에서 4,400만 명 승객에게 서비스를 제공했다는 데이비드 리셔 CEO의 발표를 공유했다.
무슨 일 있었나: 게리 블랙의 논평은 리프트가 강력한 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/02/43641962/lyft-q4-earnings-revenue-beat-gross-bookings-up-15-new-buyback-our-biggest-competition-is-inertia" target="_blank" rel="noopener">4분기 실적</a>을 발표한 가운데 나온 것이다. 리프트의 4분기 매출은 15억 달러로 예상치 15억 6천만 달러를 뛰어넘었다. 총 예약액도 전년 대비 15% 증가한 43억 달러, 활성 라이더는 2,470만 명으로 10% 증가하는 등 주목할 만한 성장 지표를 달성했다.
게리 블랙은 Future Fund Active ETF(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FFND#NYSE">FFND</a>)가 우버 테크놀로지스(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBER#NYSE">UBER</a>)에 대한 포지션은 보유하고 있지만 리프트는 보유하지 않는다고 언급했다. 그는 최근 자율주행차 네트워크의 맥락에서 호출 서비스 플랫폼의 미래에 대해서도 말했다.
그는 우버의 월간 활성 사용자 수가 1억 7천만 명에 달한다는 점을 중요한 시장 우위로 꼽으며, <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/02/43551087/gary-black-says-teslas-insufficiently-robust-autonomous-network-to-compete-with-ubers-170-million-users-draws-parallels-to-amazons-e-commerce-domination" target="_blank" rel="noopener">3억 1천만 명의 월간 활성 사용자</a>를 보유한 아마존닷컴 이커머스 분야 입지와 비교했다.

왜 중요한가: 차량호출 업계 환경은 여러 기업이 자율주행차 전략을 발전시키면서 계속 진화하고 있다. 리프트는 2026년까지 댈러스에서 모빌아이 글로벌(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MBLY#NASDAQ">MBLY</a>) 기반 <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/02/43635839/lyft-rides-a-bullish-wave-ahead-of-q4-earnings-but-will-robotaxis-be-the-real-game-changer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">로보택시를 출시할 계획이다.</a>

데이비드 리셔는 "2025년은 수백만 명의 승객과 드라이버에게 더 나은 선택지를 제공하는 해가 될 것&#8221;이라며 회사의 성장에 초점을 맞추고 있음을 강조했다. 리프트는 최근 5억 달러 규모의 자사주매입 프로그램을 승인했으며, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/02/43641962/lyft-q4-earnings-revenue-beat-gross-bookings-up-15-new-buyback-our-biggest-competition-is-inertia" target="_blank" rel="noopener">분기 말</a> 기준 현금 및 현금성 자산이 7억 5932만 달러에 달한다고 보고했다.

무슨 일 있었나: 이번 포지션 변경은 테슬라의 4분기 인도량이 애널리스트의 예상치인506,763대에 비해 저조한 495,570대로 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42779846/tesla-stock-slides-as-jim-cramer-wall-street-react-to-first-ever-annual-sales-drop" target="_blank" rel="noopener">예상치를 하회하고, 첫 연간 판매 감소를 기록하는 등</a> 테슬라가 최근 어려움을 겪은 후 나온 것이다.

게리 블랙의 Future Fund Active ETF(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FFND#NYSE">FFND</a>)는 테슬라가 전기차 가격을 20% 인하한 후 포트폴리오의 12.2%를 차지하던 2022년 4분기에 테슬라 익스포저를 줄이기 시작했다. 펀드의 1월 6일 보유 현황 업데이트에 따르면 테슬라 포지션은 최근 5.07%로 834주, 342,306달러 규모였다.
왜 중요한가: 블랙은 2025년 초에 출시될 2만 5천~3만 달러 범위의 새로운 차량을 포함한 잠재적 촉매제를 언급하며 테슬라의 목표주가를 380달러로 유지했다. 그러나 그는 7,500달러의 전기차 세액공제 폐지 가능성과 같은 위험에 대해 경고하며, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/11/42156674/gary-black-defends-tesla-trim-at-351-no-one-ever-went-broke-by-taking-profits-amid-stocks-150-surge-since-april" target="_blank" rel="noopener">유사한 공제 폐지</a> 이후 유럽 시장에서 상당한 판매 감소에 직면했던 점을 지적했다.
테슬라의 미래에 대한 격렬한 논쟁이 벌어지고 있는 가운데, 애널리스트들은 테슬라의 자율주행 및 로봇공학 야망에 대해 의견이 분분하다. 일부는 2025년까지 테슬라의 가치를 2조 달러로 낙관적으로 전망하고 있지만, GLJ 리서치의 CEO인 고든 존슨과 같은 비평가들은 특히 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42779846/tesla-stock-slides-as-jim-cramer-wall-street-react-to-first-ever-annual-sales-drop" target="_blank" rel="noopener">테슬라의 로봇공학 프로그램에</a> 대해 회의적인 시각을 유지하고 있다.
테슬라의 주가는 최근 변동성에도 불구하고 2024년까지 약 62%의 상승세를 유지했지만, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/11/42156674/gary-black-defends-tesla-trim-at-351-no-one-ever-went-broke-by-taking-profits-amid-stocks-150-surge-since-april" target="_blank" rel="noopener">지난 3년</a> 동안 나스닥 100 지수보다 32%p 저조한 실적을 기록했다.

무슨 일 있었나: 퓨처 펀드(Future Fund LLC)의 매니징 파트너인 게리 블랙은 테슬라가 25,000~30,000달러의 해치백 모델을 출시하여 전 세계 소형차 시장의 약 15%를 점유할 것이라는 기대에 "확신이 더해졌다"고 했다.
블랙의 수정된 수익 추정치는 월스트리트의 컨센서스를 능가하며, 2025년에는 조정 주당순이익 3.80달러, 2030년에는 17.00달러를 예상하고 있다.
이러한 조정은 최근 블랙의 포트폴리오 조정과 함께 나온 것이다. 11월, 게리 블랙의 펀드는 테슬라 주가가 4월 저점 대비 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/11/42159444/gary-black-defends-tesla-trim-at-351-no-one-ever-went-broke-by-taking-profits-amid-stocks-150-surge" target="_blank" rel="noopener">150% 급등</a>해 351달러로 상승한 후 테슬라 포지션을 줄였다. 퓨처 펀드의 테슬라 투자 전략은 수익성이 입증되었다. 평균 매입가는 162달러, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/41870590/tesla-remains-core-for-gary-black-despite-price-cuts-earnings-drop-nvidia-google-eli-lilly-among-top-performers-in-tech-bulls-portfolio" target="_blank" rel="noopener">매도가는 2023년 초 이후 252달러다.</a>

왜 중요한가: 게리 블랙은 테슬라의 잠재적 촉매제로서 연간 20~25%의 지속적인 전기차 채택 증가, 완전자율주행 채택 증가, 그리고 도널드 트럼프 대통령 당선인 행정부 하에서 자율주행 면허 취득의 간소화 가능성 등을 꼽았다.
그러나 또한 7,500달러의 전기차 세액공제 혜택의 잠재적 폐지 가능성과 자율주행 기능에 대한 규제 문제 등 주요 위험 요소도 언급했다.
수정된 목표주가는 1.75배의 PEG 비율과 25%의 장기 EPS 성장률을 바탕으로 테슬라의 장기 성장에 대한 블랙의 확신을 반영한다. 그의 낙관적인 전망에도 불구하고, 블랙은 최근 테슬라의 현재 가치 평가에 대해 주의를 표하면서 11월 선거 이후 주가가 50% 상승한 것은 주로 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42377001/analyst-says-he-is-very-bullish-but-cautious-about-teslas-stock-rally-notes-eps-revisions-have-not-kept-pace-with-stock-price-since-trumps-victory" target="_blank" rel="noopener">P/E 확대보다는 수익 추정 수정</a>에 의한 것이라고 강조했다.
테슬라 가격 움직임: 월요일 테슬라는 0.15% 상승한 389.79달러 마감했다. 시간외 거래에서는 0.66% 추가 상승한 392.35달러로 마감했다. 올해 들어 테슬라 주가는 56.91% 급등했다.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/TSLA/analyst-ratings">Benzinga Pro</a>의 데이터에 따르면, 34명의 애널리스트가 제시한 테슬라의 컨센서스 목표주가는 251.06달러이며, 최고가 411달러에서 최저가 24.86달러까지 다양하다. 도이치은행, 구겐하임, 뱅크오브아메리카 증권에서 제시한 최근 평균은 315달러로 19.71% 하락 여력을 의미한다.

게리 블랙, 테슬라 목표주가 380달러로 27% 상향: 저렴한 해치백 차량 출시 "확신"

퓨처 펀드 LLC의 매니징 파트너인 게리 블랙이 테슬라(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>)의 비트코인(CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) 보유를 비판했다. 수요일(4일) 비트코인이 사상 최고치를 기록했지만 테슬라의 주식 가치에 미치는 영향은 적다고 주장했다.
무슨 일 있었나: 게리 블랙은 X 플랫폼에 "비트코인 가격은 테슬라의 주가와 관련이 없다&#8221;고 썼다. 그는 비트코인이 10만 달러라고 해도 테슬라 보유량은 테슬라 1주당 0.33달러에 해당한다고 지적하면서 &#8220;자원 분배가 언제나 어렵고, 주주드은 직접 비트코인을 구매할 수 있다&#8221;고 했다.
블랙은 테슬라가 핵심 비즈니스 투자에 우선순위를 두어야 한다고 강조했다. "나는 테슬라가 새로운 공장을 건설하고, 새로운 전기차 모델을 도입하고, 에너지 사업을 확장하고, 로보택시에 투자하기를 원한다&#8221;며 "만약 현금이 남는다면 자사주를 매입할 수도 있다&#8221;고 했다.
이러한 발언은 비트코인이 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42331261/bitcoin-hits-historic-100000-milestone-michael-saylor-gets-ready-for-party" target="_blank" rel="noopener">사상 처음으로</a> 10만 달러를 돌파하면서 테슬라의 암호화폐 투자에 대한 논쟁이 재점화되는 가운데 나온 것이다. 블랙은 2021년 6월에 테슬라의 비트코인 보유에 지속적으로 반대해 왔으며, 비트코인이 회사의 전기차 사명을 방해하고 수익의 질에 의문을 제기한다고 주장했다.

테슬라는 시가총액이 1조 달러를 넘어서며 전기차 시장의 선두주자로서의 위치를 유지하고 있다.
테슬라 가격 움직임: 테슬라의 주가는 수요일에 1.85% 상승한 357.93달러로 마감했다. 시간외 거래에서는 주가가 0.34% 하락했다. 올해 들어 테슬라의 주가는 44.08% 급등했다.

더 퓨처 펀드(The Future Fund LLC)의 저명한 투자 분석가 게리 블랙은 테슬라(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>)와 엔비디아(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>)를 비교한 최근 분석을 통해 시장 논의를 촉발시켰으며, 이는 실적 궤적과 가치 평가 지표의 중요한 차이를 강조했다.
무슨 일이 있었나: 블랙은 X에 게시한 글에서 왜 엔비디아가 여전히 이 펀드의 주요 포지션인 반면 테슬라는 5위에 그치는지를 설명했다. 그는 월스트리트가 계속해서 엔비디아의 실적 추정치를 올리는 반면, 테슬라에 대한 실적 추정치를 줄이고 있다고 지적했다.
이 분석은 투자자들에게 중요한 지표인 주가수익성장비율(PEG)에 중점을 두고 있다. 블랙은 엔비디아가 현재 1.6배의 PEG로 거래되고 있으며, 2025년 기준 주가수익비율(P/E)이 32배이고, 장기 실적 성장률이 20%로 예상된다고 언급했다.
반면, 테슬라는 3.2배의 PEG로, 2025년 기준 주가수익비율이 102배이고, 장기 실적 성장률이 32%로 예상되고 있다.
주가수익성장비율(PEG)은 주가수익비율(P/E)과 예상 실적 성장률을 비교하여 주식의 진정한 가치를 이해하는 데 도움이 되는 주요 가치 평가 지표이다.
PEG 비율이 낮을수록(일반적으로 1.0 이하) 주식이 저평가되었을 가능성을 나타내며, 이는 회사의 주가가 미래 실적 성장 가능성에 비해 상대적으로 저렴하다는 것을 의미한다.

왜 중요한가: 이러한 지표들은 퓨처 펀드의 투자 전략을 강조하는 것으로, 블랙은 이를 일관되게 규율적이고 데이터 기반으로 방어해왔다. 그의 최근 게시물들은 전문 투자 원칙의 중요성을 강조하였으며, 특히 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/11/42156674/gary-black-defends-tesla-trim-at-351-no-one-ever-went-broke-by-taking-profits-amid-stocks-150-surge-since-april">저가 매수와 고가 매도 전략</a>의 중요성을 강조했다.
퓨처 펀드의 성과는 이러한 접근 방식을 보여준다. Future Fund Active ETF(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FFND#NYSE">FFND</a>)는 28.30%의 연초 대비 수익률을 기록하여 SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>)를 초과했다. 블랙의 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/11/42156674/gary-black-defends-tesla-trim-at-351-no-one-ever-went-broke-by-taking-profits-amid-stocks-150-surge-since-april">테슬라 포지션은 특히 주목할 만한데</a>, 이 펀드의 평균 매입 가격은 162달러, 평균 매도 가격은 252달러이다.
시장 성과는 이 점을 더욱 부각시킨다. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">벤징가 프로</a>의 데이터에 의하면, 테슬라는 연초 대비 34% 상승한 반면, 엔비디아는 180.96% 급등했다.

엔비디아, 테슬라를 주식 상승에서 압도 - 게리 블랙이 포트폴리오에서 1위인 이유 설명

퓨처펀드 LLC의 매니징 파트너인 게리 블랙은 퓨처펀드의 테슬라(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) 투자 전략을 옹호했다. 그는 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42056286/tesla-is-back-in-gary-blacks-top-5-holdings">단기 거래보다는 포지션 관리에 대한 절제된 접근 방식</a>을 강조하며 테슬라 강세론자들의 비판에 맞서고 있다.
무슨 일 있었나: 게리 블랙은 2023년 초 이후 자신이 이끄는 퓨처펀드의 평균 테슬라 주식 매입 가격은 162달러, 평균 판매 가격은 252달러였다고 밝혔다. 이러한 공개는 퓨처펀드가 최근 4월 저점 대비 150% 급등한 이후 테슬라 포지션을 351달러에 정리하면서 나왔다.
블랙은 X에서 테슬라 애호가들의 비판을 언급하며 "전문 투자자들이 하는 일은 저점 매수, 고점 매도이고, 이익을 취해서 파산한 사람은 아무도 없다&#8221;고 했다.
퓨처펀드는 테슬라가 전기차 가격을 20% 인하한 이후 포트폴리오의 12.2%를 차지하던 2022년 4분기에 테슬라 포지션을 줄이기 시작했다.
11월 15일 현재 테슬라의 포지션은 4.11%로, 테슬라는 The Future Fund Active ETF(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FFND#NYSE">FFND</a>)에서 엔비디아(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), 알파벳(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>), 세일즈포스(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRM#NYSE">CRM</a>), 넷플릭스(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>)에 이어  <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42056286/tesla-is-back-in-gary-blacks-top-5-holdings">5번째로 큰 보유 종목</a>이다.

왜 중요한가: 게리 블랙은 전기차 가격인하 이후 테슬라의 수익 추정치가 59% 감소했다고 지적하며, 경쟁업체들도 가격인하에 맞췄지만 판매량 증가가 최소화되었다고 지적했다. 최근 랠리에도 불구하고 테슬라의 주가는 지난 3년 동안 나스닥 100 지수를 32%p 밑돌았다고도 언급했다.
투자 베테랑인 게리 블랙은 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/11/42028323/gary-black-defends-tesla-strategy-amid-clash-with-elon-musk-bulls-we-dont-trade-tesla-we-trim-when-the-price-goes-higher">테슬라 투자자 커뮤니티 내에서 양극화가 심화</a>되는 것에 대해 우려를 표명하며 잠재적 위험에 대해 온건한 목소리가 비판에 직면하고 있다고 지적하기도 했다.
"X 세계에서는 강세론자들이 충분히 낙관적이지 않다는 이유로 동료 강세론자들을 개인적으로 공격한다. 하지만 현실에서는 그런 일이 일어나지 않는다. 포트폴리오에 대한 규율은 비판이 아니라 보상을 받는 것이다.&#8221;
이러한 논쟁은 최근 도널드 트럼프 대통령 당선인이 스페이스X의 스타베이스 시설을 방문하는 차량 행렬에서 사이버트럭이 등장한 것과 관련해 테슬라에 대한 관심이 높아지는 가운데 나왔다. 그러한 트럼프의 모습은 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/42152721/tesla-cybertruck-part-of-donald-trumps-motorcade-will-vehicle-land-government-deals">정부 및 안보</a> 부문의 새로운 기회를 예고하는 신호로 받아들여졌다.
테슬라 주가 움직임: 테슬라 주가는 금요일에 3.80% 상승한 352.56달러로 마감했다. 시간외 거래에서는 0.26% 상승했다. <a href=""https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard"">벤징가 프로 데이터</a>에 따르면 올해 들어 테슬라의 주가는 41.92% 급등했다.

게리 블랙의 퓨처펀드, 테슬라 주가 4월 저점 대비 150% 급등한 후 보유분 줄여

<a href="//www.benzinga.com/24/11/41890755/microstrategy-marathon-digital-holdings-coinbase-cleanspark-and-tesla-5-stocks-on-investors-radars-today-amid-bitcoin-buzz"" target="_blank" rel="noopener">최근 시장 데이터에 따르면</a>, 강력한 시장 성과로 주목받는 올해, 유명 펀드 매니저인 게리 블랙, 로스 거버 그리고 캐시 우드가 이끄는 펀드의 실적은  S&amp;P 500의 인상적인 연초 대비 수익률 25.97%와 비교해 엇갈린 결과를 보이고 있다.
무슨 일이 일어났을까?: 게리 블랙의 Future Fund Active ETF(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FFND#NYSE">FFND</a>)는 그중 가장 높은 성과를 기록하며 연초 대비 25.35%의 수익률을 올렸다. 623만 달러 규모의 FFND 펀드는 엔비디아(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>)를 포트폴리오의 9.39%를 차지하는 가장 큰 비중으로 보유하고 있으며, 광범위한 시장의 상승률에 거의 일치하는 성과를 보였다.
로스 거버의 AdvisorShares Gerber Kawasaki ETF(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GK#NYSE">GK</a>)도 강력한 성과를 나타냈으며, 연초 대비 21.35%의 수익률을 기록했다. 2,233만 달러 규모 GK 펀드 포트폴리오에서 가장 큰 비중을 차지하는 종목은 마이크로소프트(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>)로 7.71%를 점하고 있다.
캐시 우드의 주력 펀드인 ARK Innovation ETF(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKK#NYSE">ARKK</a>)는 57억 8천만 달러의 자산 규모에도 불구하고, 연초 대비 10.46%의 수익률로 뒤처졌다. 테슬라(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>)는 ARKK 펀드가 가장 큰 비중으로 보유한 종목이며 14.06%를 차지한다.
한편, 케빈 패프라스의 The Meet Kevin Pricing Power ETF(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PP#NYSE">PP</a>)는 3,699만 달러의 자산을 관리하고 있으나, 다른 펀드들과 달리 2.59%에 불과한 수익률을 기록했다. PP 펀드의 가장 큰 보유 종목은 로켓 컴퍼니스(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RKT#NYSE">RKT</a>)로 포트폴리오의 12.75%를 차지한다.

로스 거버, 캐시 우드 아니면 게리 블랙? 누구의 펀드가 2024년 S&P 500 수익률과 견줄만 할까?

테크 강세론자이자 퓨처 펀드의 매니지 파트너인 게리 블랙은 테슬라가 퓨처 펀드의 중요한 보유 종목으로 남아 있지만, 전기차 가격 인하가 수익에 미치는 영향에 대한 우려로 포지션 축소가 있었다고 전했다.
게리 블랙은 테슬라가 2021년 8월 출시 이후 The Future Fund Active ETF(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FFND#NYSE">FFND</a>)의 상위 보유 포지션에 있었지만, FFND 펀드는 테슬라 보유 비중을 2022년 10월 12.2%에서 11월 8일 현재 4.6%로 줄였다고 밝혔다.
이러한 결정은 테슬라의 2025회계연도 수익 추정치가 59% 감소하면서 나스닥 100 지수 대비 실적이 저조해짐에 따라 내려진 것이었다.
게리 블랙은 소셜 플랫폼 X 게시글을 통해 "우리는 부정적인 면을 감추지 않고 가치 평가에 대해 고도의 규율을 유지한다&#8221;며 테슬라 투자에 대한 자신의 신중한 접근 방식을 설명했다. 그는 테슬라의 로보택시 기술이 실용성을 입증할 때까지는 신중한 입장을 취할 것이라고 언급했다.
테슬라의 포트폴리오 비중은 낮아졌지만, 테슬라는 2024년 퓨처 펀드의 최고 실적 보유 종목에 다른 거대 기술 기업과 함께 이름을 올렸다. 엔비디아(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>)가 198% 상승으로 선두를 차지하고, 그 뒤를 이어 알파벳(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>)(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) 구글이 28%, 일라이 릴리 (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLY#NYSE">LLY</a>) 43%, 세일즈포스(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRM#NYSE">CRM</a>) 22%, 넷플릭스(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) 63%, 테슬라가 29% 상승했다.
FFND 펀드는 목표 상승/하락 비율 2:1을 기준으로 포지션 규모에 대한 전략적 접근 방식을 유지한다. 게리 블랙은 균형 잡힌 분석의 중요성을 강조하며, 이 펀드는 투자자의 의사결정에 정보를 제공하기 위해 강세 및 약세 논거를 모두 제시하는 것을 목표로 한다고 말했다.
게리 블랙의 커뮤니케이션 스타일은 때때로 일부 테슬라 강세론자들과 충돌하기도 했지만, 그는 투자 커뮤니티 내에서 건설적인 비판은 공격하기보다는 환영해야 한다고 했다.

하지만 테슬라의 전기차 기술은 최근 조사를 받고 있다. 미국 도로교통안전국은 운전자가 운전에 집중하지 않는 모습을 보여주는 완전자율주행(FSD) 기술을 소셜 미디어에 홍보하는 테슬라의 행태에 대해 우려를 제기했다.

게리 블랙의 포트폴리오: 테슬라는 여전히 핵심이며 엔비디아, 구글, 일라이 릴리도 크게 올라

전기차 제조사 테슬라(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>)와 리비안 오토모티브(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RIVN#NASDAQ">RIVN</a>)는 게리 블랙의 Future Fund Active ETF(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FFND#NYSE">FFND</a>) 내에서 서로 다른 경로를 그려가고 있다. 이는 전기차 시장의 역동성을 강조한다.
무슨 일이 있었을까? FFND 펀드는 현재 275,257달러에 해당하는 테슬라 주식 954주를 보유하고 있으며, 이는 포트폴리오의 4.20%에 해당한다. 리비안 주식은 79,738달러에 해당하는 8,212주로 1.22%를 차지한다.
테슬라의 목요일 주가는 2.90% 상승한 296.91달러를 기록하며 지난 1년 동안 33.63% 상승하는 등 강력한 성과를 보여주었다. 테슬라는 올해 들어 19.52% 급등하며 전기차 시장의 선두주자로서 입지를 유지하고 있다.
반면, 리비안은 더 어려운 상황에 직면해 있다. <a href=""https://www.benzinga.com/pro/"">벤징가 프로</a> 데이터에 따르면 같은 날 리비안 주가는 3.35% 상승한 10.04달러를 기록했지만, 올해 들어서는 52.44%, 지난 1년 동안 42.39% 하락한 상태다.
그러나 퓨처 펀드(Future Fund)의 매니징 파트너인 게리 블랙은 리비안의 회복력을 강조했다. 그는 리비안의 공급 문제에도 불구하고 투자자들이 4분기 매출총이익률 전망치를 긍정적으로 유지한 낙관론을 언급했다.
왜 중요할까? 리비안은 2024년 47,000~49,000대의 차량 생산 목표를 재확인했지만, 연간 EBITDA 손실은 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41741319/rivian-not-necessarily-chasing-robotaxis-and-full-self-driving-like-tesla-says-senior-exec">28억 3,000만 달러~28억 8,000만 달러 범위</a>로 예상하고 있다.
리비안의 최고 소프트웨어 책임자인 와심 벤사이드(Wassym Bensaid)는 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41741319/rivian-not-necessarily-chasing-robotaxis-and-full-self-driving-like-tesla-says-senior-exec">경쟁사 테슬라처럼 완전 자율주행기술이나 로보택시</a>를 추구하기보다는 점진적인 안전 및 편의성 개선에 집중하는 리비안의 차별화된 전략을 강조했다.
리비안의 성장 전망에 대해 낙관적인 입장을 견지하고 있는 RJ 스카린지 리비안 CEO는 특히 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/11/41825787/rivian-q3-earnings-highlights-revenue-eps-miss-ceo-confident-in-q4-gross-profit-r2-being-fundamenta">최근 실적의 매출 및 주당순이익 추정치 미달</a>에도 불구하고 향후 확장을 위한 핵심 동력으로서 R2 플랫폼의 잠재력을 강조하고 있다.
