After months of investor frustration, Samsung Electronics Co.'s (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SSNLF#OTC">SSNLF</a>) leadership is once <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44372197/samsung-chairman-urges-execs-to-embrace-death-defying-mindset-amid-ai-challenges-says-company-is-facing-a-do-or-die-issue">again on the defensive</a>—this time pledging bold moves to recover lost ground in AI and chip dominance.
What Happened: On Wednesday, At the company's annual shareholder meeting in Suwon, South Korea, Samsung co-CEO Han Jong-hee issued another public apology, reported Reuters.
&#8220;First and foremost, I sincerely apologize for the recent stock performance not meeting your expectations. Over the past year, our company failed to adequately respond to the rapidly evolving AI semiconductor market,&#8221; Han stated.

He said the company will also adjust its supply chain strategy in response to global trade dynamics, including U.S. tariffs.
Han also promised that Samsung would pursue "meaningful" mergers and acquisitions to spark growth.
Why It's Important: Samsung has lost ground to rivals like SK Hynix and Taiwan Semiconductor Mfg. Co. Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) in key semiconductor segments, especially high-bandwidth memory chips used by Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) for AI applications.

This is Samsung's second public apology in five months.
&#8220;We have caused concerns about our fundamental technological competitiveness and the future of the company due to our performance falling short of the market's expectations," the company said in a statement released in October. &#8220;Many people are talking about Samsung's crisis. We, who are leading the business, are responsible for all of this.&#8221;
Samsung&#8217;s <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/01/43382010/samsung-q4-earnings-12-revenue-growth-closes-gap-with-apple-in-premium-phones-eyes-ai-powered-growth-in-2025">fourth-quarter revenue</a> rose 12%, reaching 75.8 trillion Korean won ($52.2 billion). However, due to market conditions, its operating profit dropped 30% quarter-over-quarter to 6.5 trillion Korean won ($4.48 billion).

Samsung Apologizes Yet Again For AI Missteps, Promises Major Deals As Shareholders Fume Over Plunging Stock: 'Our Company Failed To...'

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk condemned what he called &#8220;extreme domestic terrorism&#8221; on Tuesday after reports emerged of a website publishing personal information of Tesla owners across the United States.
What Happened: &#8220;Encouraging destruction of Teslas throughout the country is extreme domestic terrorism!!&#8221; Musk wrote on X, responding to reports that a site called &#8220;Dogequest&#8221; had published names, addresses, and phone numbers of Tesla owners alongside an interactive map featuring a Molotov cocktail cursor.
The website reportedly demands owners prove they&#8217;ve sold their vehicles to have their information removed, apparently in response to Musk&#8217;s role in President Donald Trump&#8216;s administration.
This incident follows escalating <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44295318/marjorie-taylor-greene-demands-fbi-doj-probe-into-organized-attacks-on-teslaquestions-possible-democrat-ngo-ties">anti-Tesla sentiment nationwide</a>. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) recently called for federal investigation into what she described as &#8220;organized attacks&#8221; on Tesla facilities, citing incidents including damaged charging stations near Boston, gunfire at a Portland dealership, and arson targeting Cybertrucks in Seattle.
In her letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel, Greene questioned potential connections between these incidents and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44295318/marjorie-taylor-greene-demands-fbi-doj-probe-into-organized-attacks-on-teslaquestions-possible-democrat-ngo-ties">Democrat-leaning organizations</a> that &#8220;receive a significant amount of funding from ActBlue.&#8221;

Why It Matters: Public demonstrations against Tesla have grown more common, with investor Ross Gerber sharing footage of protesters outside a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44350195/ross-gerber-shares-peaceful-display-of-distaste-for-elon-musk-in-santa-monica-his-9-year-old-observes-glad-we-dont-have-a-tesla">Tesla store in Santa Monica</a>. Gerber, despite being a long-time investor, has grown increasingly critical of the company, noting Tesla shares remain overvalued &#8220;even after plunging nearly 50% since mid-December.&#8221;
Individual <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44348055/anti-musk-protester-vandalizes-tesla-cybertruck-with-swastika-shocking-jewish-owner">incidents have also made headlines</a>, including a defaced Cybertruck in New York City. The vehicle&#8217;s owner, Avi Ben Hamo, told The New York Post, &#8220;I feel myself burning inside.&#8221;
The tensions coincide with Musk&#8217;s dual role as Tesla CEO and leader of the Department of Government Efficiency in Trump&#8217;s administration. The company reported its first annual sales decline in 2024, with JPMorgan Chase <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44350195/ross-gerber-shares-peaceful-display-of-distaste-for-elon-musk-in-santa-monica-his-9-year-old-observes-glad-we-dont-have-a-tesla">analysts warning Wednesday</a> that Tesla &#8220;lost too much brand value too quickly.&#8221;

These are the top stocks that gained the attention of retail traders and investors throughout the day:
Nvidia Corporation&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>)
Nvidia&#8217;s stock closed down 3.43% at $115.43, after reaching an intraday high of $119.02 and a low of $114.54. The stock&#8217;s 52-week range is $75.61 to $153.13. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang announced a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/03/44383445/nvidia-ceo-jensen-huang-announces-gm-partnership-the-time-for-autonomous-vehicles-has-arrived">partnership with GM</a> to integrate Nvidia&#8217;s Blackwell-based AI technology into self-driving and manufacturing. At GTC 2025, Huang also highlighted the rise of &#8220;physical AI&#8221; and Nvidia&#8217;s growing role in various industries.

Meta&#8217;s shares fell 3.73%, closing at $582.36, with an intraday high of $600.25 and a low of $574.66. The stock&#8217;s 52-week high and low are $740.89 and $414.5, respectively.

Sarepta&#8217;s stock plunged 27.44% to close at $73.54, with a high of $81.87 and a low of $73.06, marking a new 52-week low.

Nvidia, Meta, Sarepta, D-Wave, And Tesla: Why These 5 Stocks Are On Investors' Radars Today

Investing in the <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44287485/peter-lynch-said-theres-always-something-to-worry-about-but-success-in-the-stock-market-depends-on-your-stomach-not-the-brain">stock market</a> is described by some as a <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/03/44269039/michael-dell-joins-trump-elon-musk-for-high-stakes-ai-talks-as-dell-eyes-15-billion-in-server-business">high-stakes</a> game, especially when it comes to individual stocks like NVIDIA (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>).
Known for its volatility and powerful growth potential, NVDA is a favorite stock among investors seeking considerable returns. Still, with explosive potential comes explosive risk, and the decision to invest a huge amount of money in a single stock requires careful consideration.
Don't Miss:

<li>Can you guess how many retire with a $5,000,000 nest egg? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/5mil-nest-egg-adv">The percentage may shock you</a>.</li>
<li>If there was a new fund backed by Jeff Bezos offering a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/arrived-private-credit-fund">7-9% target yield with monthly dividends would you invest in it</a>?</li>
</ul>
This is the crossroads a Reddit investor found himself at. An NVDA investor with a $130,000 cash reserve and a high-stakes plan to invest heavily in the tech giant, the poster is in his mid-30s and has been holding NVDA shares since 2019. He currently owns 2,100 shares, bought initially for $20,000, which have grown significantly in time.
Over the last two years, the investor has been building his stack of money, which now reached $130,000, waiting for the share to drop below $100 to move $100,000 into the market.
&#8220;I own about 8 stocks total but I really believe NVDA is undervalued right now. Thoughts on this and if I should do it differently?&#8221; he wrote.
His post sparked a lively discussion in the comment section, so let&#8217;s analyze Redditors&#8217; suggestions.
Trending: BlackRock is calling 2025 the year of alternative assets. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">One firm from NYC has quietly built a group of 60,000+ investors who have all joined in on an alt asset class previously exclusive to billionaires like Bezos and Gates.</a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">$100,000 in NVDA Only? Reddit Debates the Investor&#8217;s Plan</h2>
Diversify Across Multiple Stocks
Many commenters suggested the poster avoid putting the whole $100,000 into NVDA, and instead diversify across several stocks or sectors.
&#8220;Spread it over at least five different stocks. Preferably not all in tech, but also in other fields of business. If AI gets hit hard, at least still make some possible pharmaceutical or retail gains,&#8221; a comment says.
&#8220;Spread it out,&#8221; another user recommended.
One Redditor encouraged the poster to put the money into the market if he has other investments but to avoid going all-in in NVDA.
&#8220;As long as you have other investments then go for it. Just don&#8217;t go all in just into Nvidia. Have a diversified portfolio,&#8221; he said.
A user shared the fact that he agrees with the poster&#8217;s belief in Nvidia, but suggested he split the purchase with a particular fund.
&#8220;I believe in Nvidia&#8217;s fundamentals; however, I don&#8217;t look at my retirement as a gamble or a game. So I personally believe in being well diversified, but if you really believe heavily in Nvidia as many of us do, then allow me to suggest&#8230; When you decide to buy more Nvidia, I&#8217;d split the purchase with the mutual fund [Fidelity Select Electronics Portfolio (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/fselx#NASDAQ">FSELX</a>)] to help spread some of the risk out of the sector. My and everyone else&#8217;s return on FSELX over the last five years has been north of 200% so it&#8217;s a solid buy. Just my opinion,&#8221; he wrote.
&#8220;Why not wait until the market reaches the bottom and then make educated decisions? Also, don&#8217;t forget diversification,&#8221; a comment reads.

Consider Alternative Strategies
Several commenters recommended the investor alternative strategies to mitigate the risks of market timing, including dollar-cost averaging and selling puts to generate revenue while waiting for the $100 entry point.
&#8220;What happens if it doesn&#8217;t reach $100? Is this the only plan for your cash? If so, dollar cost into it in case it never makes it,&#8221; a Redditor suggested.
One commenter recommended a similar approach, advising the investor to split the investment into several buys.
&#8220;Split and buy, maybe in four parts. It is essentially like [dollar-cost averaging], but not exactly. Say your first entry is at $100; however, it does average your cost in case it goes down another 10%-20% below $100. But whatever I do, I'd not rush into entry and wait for a few more weeks,&#8221; the commenter wrote.
Two Redditors came up with a more advanced strategy, suggesting the poster sells puts to generate income.
&#8220;Sell 13 puts now with a $100 strike. That way, if it never gets there, at least you made some money anyway.&#8221;
&#8220;Sell a put, I guess. At least get paid for buying at $100,&#8221; another comment reads.

What Happened: Bitcoin corrected to an intraday low of $81,179.99 in the early morning hours but staged a recovery past $83,000 overnight after President Donald Trump‘s call with Russian President Vladimir Putin <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/03/44384160/oil-prices-slip-energy-stocks-pause-as-trump-putin-call-signals-ukraine-ceasefire-progress">signaled a Ukraine ceasefire</a>. Ethereum also recouped losses from the morning hours, rising to $1,945.
More than $214 million was liquidated from the market in the last 24 hours, with bullish bets accounting for over $140 million. That said, about $376 million in shorts risked liquidation if Bitcoin reclaimed $85,000.
Additionally, if Bitcoin reclaims $87,000, a further $500 million in shorts would be wiped out.
Bitcoin's Open Interest fell 0.89% in the last 24 hours, mirroring the spot price trajectory. More than 50% of Bitcoin derivatives traders were short on the apex cryptocurrency, according to the Long/Short ratio, suggesting further downsides could be in the works.
The market remained fearful as of this writing, according to the Crypto Fear and Greed Index.

Deepwater Asset Management managing partner Gene Munster highlighted five key takeaways from NVIDIA Corp.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) recent keynote presentation, emphasizing that the artificial intelligence buildout remains in its early stages <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/03/44383445/nvidia-ceo-jensen-huang-announces-gm-partnership-the-time-for-autonomous-vehicles-has-arrived">despite investor skepticism</a>.
What Happened: CEO Jensen Huang dedicated about a third of his two-hour-plus keynote to emphasizing that the AI infrastructure buildout is still in its early stages, Munster said noting that Nvidia shares traded down 2.5% during the presentation compared to Nasdaq&#8217;s 0.2% decline. &#8220;Investors are still skeptical given NVDA trades at 20x CY26 EPS. I buy it.&#8221;
Munster pointed to Huang&#8217;s confident stance on demand, as evidenced by the Nvidia CEO&#8217;s suggestion that customers need not purchase current-generation Hopper GPUs with Blackwell, which are now available. 
The keynote featured expected product announcements including Blackwell Ultra, Rubin, and co-packaged optics technology that enables data centers to deploy more GPUs.
Nvidia has consistently delivered around a 4x increase in AI computing power across generations, from Hopper in 2022 to Blackwell in 2024 and the anticipated Rubin in 2026. Notably, Gene Munster pointed out that &#8220;Rubin Ultra will require about 4.5x the power compared to Blackwell,&#8221; calling it &#8220;Good for&#8221; Vertiv Holdings Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VRT#NYSE">VRT</a>).

Why It Matters: During the keynote, Huang <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/25/03/44389027/tesla-takes-another-hit-with-nvidia-gm-self-driving-partnership">announced a partnership</a> with General Motors Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) for autonomous vehicles, declaring &#8220;The time for autonomous vehicles has arrived.&#8221; The collaboration includes factory planning, robotics, advanced driver-assistance systems, and in-cabin safety features built on Nvidia&#8217;s Blackwell architecture.
Munster remained skeptical about GM&#8217;s autonomous driving prospects, writing, &#8220;I&#8217;d be surprised if anything significant comes from GM&#8217;s autonomy efforts, given they <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/12/42429588/gms-cruise-exit-draws-sharp-reaction-from-co-founder-kyle-vogt-tesla-ceo-elon-musk-says-autonomous-driving-is-a-very-hard-problem">shut down Cruise back in December</a>.&#8221; Catching up to Alphabet Inc.&#8216;s (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>) Google-backed Waymo and Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) is &#8220;difficult in what is largely a winner-takes-most market.&#8221;

Nvidia AI Boom Just Beginning As Blackwell Gains Traction And Rubin Ultra Raises The Power Bar, Says Gene Munster: 'Investors Are Still Skeptical'

On Tuesday, Cathie Wood-led Ark Invest made significant trades involving Tempus AI Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TEM#NASDAQ">TEM</a>), Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>), and Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>).
The Tempus AI Trade saw Ark Invest&#8217;s ARK Genomic Revolution ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKG#BATS">ARKG</a>) and ARK Innovation ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKK#NYSE">ARKK</a>) funds acquiring a substantial number of shares in Tempus AI. The funds purchased 28,646 and 142,530 shares respectively. This move comes after Tempus AI&#8217;s <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/02/43927560/tempus-ai-q4-earnings-revenue-miss-eps-beat-strong-guidance-shares-move-lower">recent earnings report</a>, which showed a revenue miss but an EPS beat, as detailed in a recent analysis. The stock closed at $45.74, marking an 8.28% decline, making the total value of the shares bought approximately $7.83 million. Ark&#8217;s investment follows a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44293571/cathie-woods-wednesday-moves-ark-pours-1-36-million-into-tempus-ai-shares-following-deep-6-ai-acquisition-offload">previous infusion</a> of $1.36 million into Tempus AI, highlighting their confidence in the company&#8217;s potential.
The AMD Trade involved the ARKK fund purchasing 30,324 shares of the company. The stock closed at $103.51, resulting in a trade value of about $3.14 million. This acquisition aligns with recent insights from analysts who have noted AMD&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44274365/amd-ceo-lisa-su-says-ai-boom-is-just-getting-started-and-amds-ready-to-cash-in">growing competitiveness</a> in the AI and GPU markets. The company is expected to experience over 20% growth in 2025, driven by AI advancements and strategic partnerships.
The Meta Platforms Trade saw Ark Invest&#8217;s ARKK fund selling 2,160 shares of the Mark Zuckerberg-led company. The stock closed at $582.36, making the sale worth approximately $1.26 million. This decision comes amid <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44374847/meta-could-rake-in-30-40-billion-in-revenue-from-whatsapp-business-messaging-predicts-analyst">analyst predictions</a> that Meta could generate $30-40 billion in revenue from its business messaging services, suggesting potential undervaluation by the market.
Notably, Ark <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44368691/cathie-wood-dumps-over-7-million-worth-of-meta-shares-as-mark-zuckerbergs-social-empire-faces-privacy-heat-ark-sells-block-shares-again">dumped over $7 million worth</a> of Meta shares on Monday amid reports that the company&#8217;s global expansion efforts and privacy practices are attracting increased scrutiny.

Cathie Wood's Big Tuesday Bet: Ark Pours $7.8 Million Into Tempus AI Despite Stock Stumble

<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/11/42026823/this-is-how-you-get-wealthy-dave-ramsey-details-how-one-move-could-make-you-5-million-by-retirement">Dave Ramsey</a> has made millions as an investor and an author, but you might not know it by looking at him. He once said in a Facebook post "<a href="https://www.facebook.com/daveramsey/posts/most-millionaires-dont-drive-fancy-carsand-that-might-surprise-youthe-truth-is-m/1142002823955997/">Most millionaires</a> don't drive fancy cars—and that might surprise you. The truth is most millionaires live simple, disciplined lives. They don't waste money on luxury cars or big mansions. Instead, they follow a proven plan, avoid debt, and let their wealth grow over time."&nbsp;
The<a href="https://247wallst.com/investing/2024/05/08/8-times-dave-ramsey-nailed-it-with-savings-advice/"> 24/7 Wall Street</a> website also quoted Ramsey as saying, &#8220;A typical millionaire lives in a middle-class house, drives a two-year-old or older car, and buys blue jeans at Walmart.&#8221; It sounds more like Ramsey is describing your door neighbor than a millionaire, but his words are profound. Ramsey knows being worth over $1 million doesn't guarantee a lifetime of financial security, which is also why he's a proponent of developing<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/25/03/44292825/heres-how-you-can-earn-100-in-passive-income-by-investing-in-public-storage-stock"> passive income streams</a>.
Don't Miss:
<ul>
<li><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.</li>
<li>These five entrepreneurs are worth $223 billion –<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/arrived-homes-private-credit-fund"> they all believe in one platform that offers a 7-9% target yield with monthly dividends</a></li>
</ul>
Being worth $1 million may have allowed you to live a high lifestyle in the mid to late 20th century, but the relentless march of inflation means $1 million doesn't go nearly as far as it used to. The median American household income is $80,610 per year, according to the<a href="https://www.census.gov/library/publications/2024/demo/p60-282.html"> US Census</a>. So, theoretically, every $1 million you have will allow you to live like an average American for 12 years.
It would take $3 million to go over thirty years without working, but your money won't last nearly that long if you're buying luxury cars, dining out, and living an excessively lavish life. Remember, inflation is going to be climbing for every one of those years, so you don't have much choice about leading a relatively modest lifestyle if you want your money to last.
That assumes your net worth is all cash, which it likely isn't. Most Americans have a significant portion of their net worth tied up in their homes, and the<a href="https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/MSPUS"> Federal Reserve</a> says the median home sale price for American homes was $419,200 in Q4 2024. However, that includes millions of properties in less expensive regions like the Plains, the South, and the Upper Midwest.
Trending: BlackRock is calling 2025 the year of alternative assets. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">One firm from NYC has quietly built a group of 60,000+ investors who have all joined in on an alt asset class previously exclusive to billionaires like Bezos and Gates.</a>
Median home prices over $1 million are becoming increasingly common in America's major metropolitan areas, especially on the coasts. So, you could be a typical homeowner in Los Angeles or San Francisco and have a net worth that approaches or exceeds $1 million. However, you wouldn't be super rich, and you would have no illusions about the fact that you were not super-rich.
You'd likely be living as frugally as possible to maximize your money. That would mean living in a regular, middle-class house, not a mansion. You would probably drive a slightly older used car and not buy the newest model year as soon as it came out. You might even shop at a Walmart. In other words, your life would sound a lot like the one Ramsey described.

Why Dave Ramsey Says Your "Typical Millionaire" May Look Just Like Your Next Door Neighbor

French MEP Raphael Glucksmann expressed gratitude for American sacrifices during World War II, amidst escalating tensions between the U.S. and EU.
What Happened: On Wednesday, Glucksmann took to X to share his views on the current U.S.-European relations. He referenced a statement made by the White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt, saying, &#8220;As the press secretary for this shameful Administration said: without your nation, France would have &#8216;spoken German.&#8217; In my case, it goes further: I would simply not be here if hundreds of thousands of young Americans had not landed on our beaches in Normandy.&#8221;

Glucksmann said in the thread on X that European gratitude to American World War II heroes is &#8220;eternal.&#8221; He compared the prevailing policies of the Trump administration toward Russia and Ukraine with the bravery of U.S. heroes during the war.
&#8220;The America of these heroes fought against tyrants, but it did not flatter them. It was the enemy of fascism, not the friend of Putin. It helped the resistance and didn&#8217;t attack Zelensky.&#8221;

Why It Matters: This post comes in the wake of Glucksmann&#8217;s controversial suggestion that the US should return the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/content/44351406/statue-of-liberty-should-be-returned-to-france-french-mep-suggests?utm_source=msn.com&amp;utm_campaign=partner_feed&amp;utm_medium=partner_feed&amp;utm_content=in">Statue of Liberty</a> to France, criticizing the US for aligning with authoritarian leaders and attacking scientific freedom.
The MEP said he was &#8220;petrified&#8221; by Trump&#8217;s &#8220;betrayal.&#8221; and that is why he suggested that the Statue of Liberty be taken back by France &#8220;symbolically.&#8221; Glucksmann termed it a &#8220;wake up call.&#8221;
The tensions between the US and EU have been escalating recently, with Trump threatening to <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44301836/trump-warns-of-200-tariff-on-french-champagne-and-eu-spirits-in-retaliation-to-europes-tariff-on-us-whiskey">impose a 200% tariff</a> on EU alcoholic products in response to a 50% tariff on US whiskey by the EU.

Trump Press Secretary Blasted By French MEP Over Statue Of Liberty Reaction: 'If Hundreds Of Thousands Of Young Americans Had Not Landed On Our Beaches...'

Some people pay Grant Cardone thousands of dollars for his coaching, but a 12-year-old kid recently got an entire crash course for free. Not only that, but Cardone donated to the kid's school after giving his impromptu sales coaching session.
However, the sales advice wasn't just for the kid. Cardone posted the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OVtcrqJJYQs">video</a> on his YouTube channel, and it has practical advice that any sales professional can use.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Keep It Nice, Tight, and Concise</h2>
Cardone started by listening to the student's sales pitch and then proceeded to ask for his name. It turns out this was the third time he asked for the kid's name, and the real estate investor responded by saying that people don't remember things.
Don't Miss:
<ul>
<li><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.</li>
<li>If there was a new fund backed by Jeff Bezos offering a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/arrived-private-credit-fund">7-9% target yield with monthly dividends would you invest in it</a>?</li>
</ul>
It's a valuable nugget that receives more clarity after Cardone shifts into giving advice. He recommends keeping the pitch nice, tight, and concise. Not only do people forget things, but they are also busy. A strong hook can keep them interested in what you have to say and potentially lead to a sale.&nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Know How Much You Can Charge</h2>
This isn't your typical sales video, as Cardone decides to add some suspense to keep viewers engaged. Instead of telling the 12-year-old how much he will donate, Cardone turns it into a challenge.&nbsp;
He invites the student to write down how much he wants Cardone to give, and Cardone writes his own number. Cardone says he will only donate to the school if the student asks for less money than Cardone is willing to give. Asking for the full $20,000 the student is aiming for would have resulted in a rejection. The boy could have guaranteed money by asking for $1, but that would have been leaving money on the table.
Trending: The secret weapon in billionaire investor portfolios that you almost certainly don't own yet. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">See which asset class has outpaced the S&amp;P 500 (1995-2024) – and with near-zero correlation.</a>
In the end, the student asked for $500, and Cardone showed that he was willing to give $1,000. The real estate investor congratulated the student and said he would donate $1,000.
This part of the video demonstrates the value of knowing your customers and how much you can charge. You have to keep the customer in mind and consider how much they can afford when presenting your offer. Sometimes, it may require walking away from a customer who cannot afford your services, but that didn't take place in the video.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Always Get to the Ask</h2>
Every sales pitch eventually has to get to the ask. Practicing the pitch and reviewing some bullet points can help you navigate the presentation better and make an ask. It's worth knowing the different ways you can make an ask. Having multiple options can help you tailor your request to the potential client's budget, mentality, and other details you pick up during the conversation.

The sales pitch ends quickly after the prospect says yes. Instead of mudding the waters, provide a way for the prospect to make a payment. The boy tells Cardone about a QR code that he can use to make a payment. This is a great sales tactic since it shifts the conversation into making a payment.
Once you get someone to buy a product or service, it becomes much easier to sell them additional products and services in the future.
Cardone provided the 12-year-old with a mini masterclass on sales. Cardone expressed confidence in the kid's "killer instinct" and believes that he can become successful in sales. Teaching young kids about sales and real-life skills, just as Cardone did, can set them up for better careers in the future.

Coinbase Global Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>) on Tuesday launched Verified Pools, a new initiative designed to improve transparency and security in decentralized finance (DeFi) liquidity pools.
The <a href="https://www.coinbase.com/en-gb/blog/the-future-of-onchain-Liquidity-is-here-via-coinbase-verified-pools">move </a>comes amid growing scrutiny of risks associated with DeFi platforms, particularly regarding opaque liquidity sources and counterparty risks.
The product, available to users in the U.S., Singapore, the Netherlands, British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands and Channel Islands, introduces a verification system that integrates identity checks through Coinbase Verifications.
The system aims to reduce the uncertainty associated with who is providing liquidity in these pools, a common issue within DeFi ecosystems.
Verified Pools uses the Uniswap v4 protocol and operates on Coinbase&#8217;s Base layer-2 network, which focuses on reducing transaction fees and improving transaction speeds. 
Coinbase has also partnered with risk modeling firm Gauntlet to help optimize the liquidity pool configurations.
For institutional participants, Verified Pools offers features such as concentrated liquidity strategies, restricted access via verified credentials, and non-custodial asset management through Coinbase&#8217;s Prime Onchain Wallet. Institutions can also connect via API for liquidity provisioning.

Retail users are provided with simplified access to liquidity pools through Coinbase Wallet. 
The system allows direct interaction with pools while offering verified liquidity sources aimed at reducing potential risks. 
Users maintain full control over their assets while participating in onchain trading.
"Verified Pools is the next step in Coinbase's commitment to advancing the onchain ecosystem," the company stated, indicating plans to expand, though no specific schedule has been set.
Despite the new offering, Verified Pools enters a competitive market where DeFi participants already have access to a variety of liquidity solutions on decentralized exchanges. 
Coinbase's approach highlights the increasing trend of incorporating identity verification into DeFi protocols, as regulators and users push for higher security and transparency standards.
Coinbase said the new product is part of its broader strategy to expand onchain adoption, but stopped short of offering specifics on future geographic expansions or additional features.
The company has stated that Verified Pools will continue to evolve, with further developments expected depending on user demand and regulatory requirements across different markets.

Coinbase Introduces Verified Pools For Clearer Onchain Liquidity In Limited Areas

Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) took another hit on Tuesday when NVIDIA Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and General Motors Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) announced they will partner on<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/03/44383445/nvidia-ceo-jensen-huang-announces-gm-partnership-the-time-for-autonomous-vehicles-has-arrived"> self-driving vehicles. </a>
What To Know: Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang announced the GM partnership, which will include robotics, in-vehicle hardware for advanced driver-assistance systems and in-cabin safety driving experiences, at the GPU Technology Conference (GTC) on Tuesday afternoon.

Tesla said it will begin its first robotaxi service in Austin starting in June 2025 using Tesla-owned vehicles equipped with an unsupervised version of the company&#8217;s Full Self-Driving (FSD) software.

Tesla shares have fallen nearly 50% year-to-date as the company faces declining sales, increased competition and political controversy.&nbsp;
Deepwater Asset Management managing partner Gene Munster told Benzinga that he remains bullish on Tesla.&nbsp;
"I&#8217;m still positive for the long term. Believe they&#8217;re the best positioned company for physical AI. Jensen talked about Physical AI today at the NVDA keynote," Munster said.&nbsp;
Huang reviewed the development of AI as a timeline and discussed how the focus shifted from generative AI to agentic AI and now to physical AI, or robotics. 
&#8220;Artificial intelligence has made extraordinary progress,&#8221; Huang said and explained the next phase is physical AI. 
&#8220;A new era of AI we call physical AI," he said.

Tesla Takes Another Hit With Nvidia, GM Self-Driving Partnership

A newlywed couple called into "<a href="https://youtu.be/rMk7CKwJ8OM?si=uv9XNqRaExFM6ju0">The Dave Ramsey Show</a>" hoping for financial advice, but what they got was a brutal reality check. Their total debt? Just shy of $1 million. The breakdown was staggering: $335,000 in student loans, $136,000 in credit card debt, $44,000 in personal loans, $35,000 in car loans, and a $210,000 mortgage.
Dave Ramsey didn't waste any time getting to the heart of the problem. "You have $300,000 of credit cards and personal loans?" he asked, clearly stunned. Then came another gut punch: "Why does he, at 29 years old, run up a hundred grand in credit card debt?" The woman explained that her husband, 32, had made poor financial decisions, assuming he'd be able to pay it off over time. Spoiler: He didn't.

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">"You're Scared, and You Should Be"</h2>
Reality was sinking in fast. Ramsey zeroed in on what they were feeling: "You're scared, and you should be. You're disgusted, and you should be." This wasn't just about numbers on a spreadsheet—this was about their future, their marriage, and whether they could pull themselves out of the financial mess they had created.
And while $1 million in debt sounds extreme, their situation isn't as far from the average American household as some might think. According to the <a href="https://www.newyorkfed.org/microeconomics/hhdc">Federal Reserve</a>, total household debt in the U.S. hit an all-time high of $18.036 trillion as of Q4 2024, with the average household carrying $105,056 in debt. Sure, this couple was in the deep end, but <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/12/42746966/debt-and-broke-are-the-norm-says-dave-ramsey-explains-why-normal-isnt-working-for-most-americans-and-how-to-take-control-of-your-money">plenty of people are drowning</a>.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">"I'm Getting Ready to Destroy Your Life As You Know It"</h2>
Despite earning $230,000 per year, their spending had completely outpaced their income. Ramsey put it bluntly: "You've been living at about 10x where you're gonna get to live for the next three years."
Then came the reality check: "I'm getting ready to destroy your life as you know it." That meant no vacations, no eating out, no unnecessary spending of any kind. "You're not gonna see the inside of a restaurant unless it's your extra job or you're waiting on some of the people you work with during the day."
But Ramsey made it clear—this wasn't just a budgeting problem: "This is not a math problem. The math problem is the symptom. The problem is what's going on inside of you guys." Their spending habits weren't just about bad decisions; they were rooted in something deeper.
Trending: Can you guess how many Americans successfully retire with $1,000,000 saved?<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/1milsaved"> The percentage may shock you</a>.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Road to Financial Survival</h2>
The couple mentioned they had enrolled in a credit card debt relief program, hoping it would ease their financial burden. Ramsey shut that down immediately, calling it a mistake. "The administrative layer is really, really, really pitiful. They're incompetent." His advice? Get out of the program, sell their rental property, and throw the $90,000 in equity straight at their debt.
He didn't sugarcoat the reality of what they were about to face. "You're gonna be living beans and rice, rice and beans. Your friends are gonna think you've lost your mind, and your mother's gonna think you need counseling."
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Wake-Up Call for Anyone in Debt</h2>
This couple didn't just need a budget tweak—they needed a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/11/42026823/this-is-how-you-get-wealthy-dave-ramsey-details-how-one-move-could-make-you-5-million-by-retirement">full-blown financial intervention</a>. Ramsey drove the point home: "I'm gonna pinch the lifestyle out of you. And it's gonna change your life for the better."

For anyone sitting on a mountain of debt, the takeaway is simple. Change won't be easy, but it's necessary. The good news? No situation is truly hopeless. Financial experts recommend several ways to get back on track:
<ul>
<li>Consulting a financial advisor to develop a structured repayment plan</li>
<li>Using the debt snowball or avalanche method to tackle balances strategically</li>
<li>Cutting unnecessary expenses to free up cash for aggressive debt repayment</li>
<li>Building an emergency fund to avoid future reliance on credit</li>
</ul>
The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">road to financial stability</a> requires discipline, but with the right approach, it's possible to turn things around—even if it means embarking on a beans and rice diet for a little while.

'You're Scared And You Should Be' — Dave Ramsey Tells 29-Year-Old With Nearly $1 Million Of Debt He's Going To Destroy Her Life As She Knows It

<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/03/44066066/robert-kiyosaki-forecasts-global-financial-meltdown-recommends-bitcoin-as-safe-haven-buy-b">Robert Kiyosaki</a>, the author of "Rich Dad, Poor Dad," has long been an advocate for financial education when it comes to successful investing. He recently took to Instagram to warn his followers of the risk of investing in things they don't fully understand.&nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Kiyosaki&#8217;s Advice: Learn First, Then Invest</h2>
In his Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DGAyJ-GzGyM/?igsh=NWFwOW1zcGVsaHpr">post</a>, Kiyosaki stated, &#8220;Don&#8217;t invest in what you don&#8217;t know. Learn first then invest.&#8221; He reinforced this message in the post's caption, writing:
&#8220;Want to lose money fast? &#x1f4b8; Simple: Invest in what you don't understand. The poor and middle class chase hot tips and gamble in markets they don't study. The rich? They invest in their education first.&#8221;

<ul>
<li><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.</li>
<li>If there was a new fund backed by Jeff Bezos offering a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/arrived-private-credit-fund">7-9% target yield with monthly dividends would you invest in it</a>?</li>
</ul>
Kiyosaki's main message is that many people enter the market without a clear understanding of how it works. They may follow advice from friends, social media, or financial news without doing their own research. According to Kiyosaki, this approach is more like gambling than investing, which can lead to significant financial losses.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why Education Matters in Investing</h2>
Kiyosaki's philosophy centers on the idea that financial success comes from knowledge and strategy, not luck. His company, Rich Dad, emphasizes the importance of understanding different asset classes and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing">investment strategies</a> before diving in.&nbsp;
According to the Rich Dad blog, there are five major asset classes to take into consideration when investing:&nbsp;
<ol>
<li>Real estate</li>
<li>Commodities</li>
<li>Business</li>
<li>Paper assets (like stocks and bonds)</li>
<li>Cryptocurrency</li>
</ol>
Trending: It&#8217;s no wonder Jeff Bezos holds over $250 million in art — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">this alternative asset has outpaced the S&amp;P 500 since 1995, delivering an average annual return of 11.4%. Here&#8217;s how everyday investors are getting started.</a>
Kiyosaki encourages investors to focus on the types of assets they are most interested in and start educating themselves more on that area. For example, stock market investors should learn more about specific methods of investing.&nbsp;
"The interesting thing is that most people only know of one way to invest in the stock market, so they never ask the question of how they should do it," the Rich Dad blog says.&nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Common Pitfalls of Investing Without Knowledge</h2>
Kiyosaki's warning reflects the reality that many investors make decisions based on market trends or emotional impulses rather than sound financial principles. According to a Magnify Money <a href="https://www.magnifymoney.com/news/emotional-investing/">study</a>, 66% of investors have made impulsive or emotion-based investing decisions that they later regretted.&nbsp;
The study also reports that 58% of investors agree their portfolio performs better when they leave emotions out of the equation; however, nearly half say that it's difficult to keep emotions at bay when investing.&nbsp;

Some common investment mistakes include:
<ul>
<li>Chasing hot stocks – Investing in companies because they are popular rather than because of their fundamentals.</li>
<li>Following bad advice – Acting on tips from friends or influencers without independent research.</li>
<li>Overdiversification – <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/08/40605821/charlie-munger-said-you-dont-need-to-own-a-lot-of-things-in-order-to-get-rich-but-believed-you-a">Spreading investments too thinly</a> without a clear strategy, which can dilute potential returns.</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Key Takeaway: Knowledge Before Action</h2>
Kiyosaki's message is straightforward: education comes before investing. Understanding how markets work and having a clear investment strategy can help prevent costly mistakes. For investors, this means taking the time to study asset classes, market trends, and financial strategies before putting money on the line.
As Kiyosaki puts it, &#8220;Learn first. Then invest. That's how the rich get richer.&#8221;
