U.S. stock futures tumbled Sunday evening, extending last week&#8217;s historic selloff as the White House stood firm on its sweeping new tariff policy despite mounting market pressure.
What Happened: Dow Jones Industrial Average futures fell 1,257 points, or 3.26%, to 37,273, while S&amp;P 500 futures dropped 190.50 points, or 3.73%, to 4,919.75. Nasdaq-100 futures experienced the steepest decline, plummeting 807.50 points, or 4.60%, to 16,731.50. The U.S. Dollar Index also weakened, falling 0.23% to 102.79.
Japan's Nikkei 225 plunged 2,509.53 points, or 7.43%, to 31,271.05 on Monday morning at 9:53 a.m. local time.
The weekend decline follows the market&#8217;s worst performance since March 2020. The S&amp;P 500 plunged 6% Friday, pushing its two-day losses past 10%, while the Nasdaq entered bear market territory after falling 22% from its record high.
Trump said on Sunday, &#8220;I don&#8217;t want anything to go down, but sometimes you have to take medicine to fix something,&#8221; adding that foreign governments would have to pay &#8220;a lot of money&#8221; to lift the tariffs, according to Reuters, showing little concern over $6 trillion in U.S. market losses.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, speaking on the Tucker Carlson Podcast Friday, attributed the selloff to a correction in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44652055/its-more-a-mag-seven-problem-than-a-maga-one-treasury-secretary-says-as-wall-street-meltdowns">tech valuations rather than administration policy</a>, calling it &#8220;more a MAG Seven problem than a MAGA one,&#8221; referring to market leaders Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), NVIDIA Corp.

&#8220;This isn&#8217;t about tariffs, it&#8217;s about a dose of reality in the AI space,&#8221; Bessent claimed, suggesting China&#8217;s DeepSeek AI breakthrough triggered the reassessment of U.S. tech valuations.

Why It Matters: Bessent defended the tariff strategy as &#8220;transformational for the American economy,&#8221; citing MIT research that previous 20% tariffs on China only increased U.S. prices by 0.7%. He framed the policy as temporary: &#8220;First, we collect. Then, we build. Then, the tariffs drop—but revenue from taxes and jobs goes up.&#8221;

Why ManpowerGroup, Regions Financial, And Nexstar MediaAre Winners For Passive Income

Bill Ackman, a prominent investor, expressed concerns over the U.S. tariff policies in a social media post on Sunday. Ackman highlighted the potential economic repercussions of escalating tariffs under President Donald Trump.
What Happened: He said on X that while the nation supports the president&#8217;s efforts to address global tariff imbalances, business relies heavily on trust and confidence. Ackman stated, &#8220;President @realDonaldTrump has elevated the tariff issue to the most important geopolitical issue in the world.&#8221;
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">The country is 100% behind the president on fixing a global system of tariffs that has disadvantaged the country. But, business is a confidence game and confidence depends on trust. President <a href="https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@realDonaldTrump</a> has elevated the tariff issue to the most important geopolitical…
&mdash; Bill Ackman (@BillAckman) <a href="https://twitter.com/BillAckman/status/1908992002366292286?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 6, 2025</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Ackman warned that imposing significant tariffs indiscriminately could erode confidence in the U.S. as a reliable trading partner. The investor suggested a 90-day pause to negotiate fairer tariff agreements, potentially attracting substantial investment. 
&#8220;The President has an opportunity on Monday to call a time out and have the time to execute on fixing an unfair tariff system.&#8221;
He cautioned that launching an &#8220;economic nuclear war&#8221; on April 9 could halt business investment and consumer spending, severely damaging the U.S. economy.
&#8220;The consequences for our country and the millions of our citizens who have supported the president — in particular low-income consumers who are already under a huge amount of economic stress — are going to be severely negative. This is not what we voted for.&#8221;
Ackman expressed concerns about the impact on both large corporations and smaller businesses, noting that many cannot absorb sudden cost increases. He urged the president to reconsider, warning of a &#8220;self-induced, economic nuclear winter&#8221; if current policies persist.

Why It Matters: The concerns raised by Ackman come in the wake of <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44640503/bill-ackman-just-pick-up-the-phonesays-trump-will-reward-early-dealmakers-punish-tariff-retaliation">significant market reactions</a> to Trump&#8217;s tariff policies. Recently, global markets experienced a $2 trillion loss in value following the introduction of sweeping reciprocal tariffs. In response, Ackman advised foreign leaders to engage directly with Trump, emphasizing his reputation as a dealmaker who views the world through a transactional lens. 
An X user asked Ackman if he agreed with the way the Tariffs were calculated, and he simply answered, &#8220;No&#8221; to the question. He also expressed agreement with another user that pointed out that the &#8220;most important unintended consequences is that a trade war gives non-allies the opportunity to make tactical geopolitical gains against USA behind the veil of trade policy responses.&#8221;
 Ackman&#8217;s stance has faced criticism from notable figures such as Ross Gerber and Gary Kasparov. They have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44643409/ross-gerber-and-gary-kasparov-slam-bill-ackmans-defense-of-trumps-trade-war-tactics-this-is-garbage-policy">publicly denounced</a> his defense of Trump&#8217;s trade war strategies, labeling them as &#8220;garbage policy.&#8221; Gerber, in particular, challenged Ackman&#8217;s suggestion that appearing &#8220;crazy&#8221; in negotiations could be strategic.
Historically, Ackman has supported Democratic candidates, but he has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/10/41495497/bill-ackman-dealmaker-donald-trump-is-key-to-avoiding-world-war-3">endorsed Trump</a> for the 2024 presidential election, citing national security concerns. This endorsement underscores the complexity of his views on Trump&#8217;s policies.

Bill Ackman Warns Against Launching 'Economic Nuclear War,' Wants A 90-Day Time Out On Trump Tariffs

<ul>
<li>Tron founder Justin Sun has launched an attack against First Digital Trust.</li>
<li>Sun&#8217;s tactics in the ongoing spat mirror elements of the feud between Binance and FTX.</li>
<li>At the center of the dispute is a $456 million misappropriation claim.</li>
</ul>
While FTX may have well been on its way to its demise, many believe the death blow was Binance founder Changpeng &#8220;CZ&#8221; Zhao&#8217;s public vote of no confidence on the rival exchange. He publicly outlined plans to sell off FTX&#8217;s native token over concerns about its health, triggering a fatal run on the now-defunct platform.
Now, Binance, or at least a firm with close ties to it, may be on the receiving end of a similar attack.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Justin Sun Running Binance&#8217;s Playbook?</h2>
Throughout Wednesday and Thursday, Tron founder Justin Sun <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44622834/first-digital-assures-funds-are-backed-11-to-pursue-legal-action-after-justin-suns-allegations-send-fdusd-below-1">shouted to anyone who would listen</a> that First Digital Trust was insolvent. First Digital Trust is the Hong Kong-based entity behind FDUSD, Binance&#8217;s stablecoin of choice.
&#8220;First Digital Trust (FDT) is effectively insolvent and unable to fulfill client fund redemptions. I strongly recommend that users take immediate action to secure their assets,&#8221; Sun <a href="https://x.com/justinsuntron/status/1907453967652786522?t=V1mTVMTbIiyvHgZDy1zjow&amp;s=19">asserted</a> in his first missive on Wednesday.
Despite Sun&#8217;s failure to provide evidence, his claims were enough to trigger a rush of redemptions that saw FDUSD briefly lose its peg and trade as low as $0.87 in a debacle that takes the mind back to the beef between Binance and FTX.
&#8220;Remember when CZ publicly accused FTX of insolvency and triggered a bank run on the exchange?&#8221; One crypto community member <a href="https://x.com/FTPager/status/1907484286036689102?t=PTVt4r0EZgOiSxwbz4uKBQ&amp;s=19">wrote</a>, adding, &#8220;Justin is trying to run the same playbook Insanely malicious especially if this accusation turns out to be false. The emperor has no clothes.&#8221;
Trending: 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>?
Unlike the FTX saga, First Digital Trust appears to be holding steady. For now, the market appears to have been appeased by <a href="https://x.com/FirstDigitalHQ/status/1907644502501896519?t=3XhUG8B920N_T5gJ0YCLqA&amp;s=19">data</a> showing the firm processing redemptions and an attestation of its reserves.
Sun&#8217;s attack against First Digital Trust appears linked to a recent legal filing in Hong Kong by Techteryx, the issuer of the TrueUSD stablecoin, against First Digital Trust. This filing was first reported by CoinDesk.
In the legal filing, Techteryx accuses First Digital Trust, which it had appointed as a fiduciary to manage its reserve, of misappropriating $456 million of its funds and failing to pay up when it needed it. Techteryx claims this situation forced it to obtain a bailout from Sun.
Techteryx has long been rumored to be owned by Sun, a claim both parties vehemently deny.&nbsp;
See Also: 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">A Classic Case of Deflection?</h2>
First Digital Trust has denied the claims alleged in the legal filing while labeling the filing and Sun&#8217;s actions as an attempt to deflect from Techteryx&#8217;s failings.
According to a <a href="https://x.com/FirstDigitalHQ/status/1907716272172970222?t=cXThhyasZD8xAHPBU13R2A&amp;s=19">statement</a> by First Digital Trust, it never moved or invested any of Techteryx&#8217;s funds without the latter&#8217;s express permission. The firm contended that it was the TUSD issuer&#8217;s decision to make illiquid investments. It also contended that redemption of these funds hinged on AML/KYC concerns over Techteryx&#8217;s beneficial owner, which it said the firm has refused to reveal to date.
&#8220;We reiterate that FDT remains fully solvent, and every FDUSD is securely backed 1:1 by cash and cash equivalents. The exact ISIN numbers of all reserves backing FDUSD are clearly outlined in our attestation report, which is publicly available for verification. We are processing redemption requests as usual. We are seeking legal advice and FDT will pursue legal action to protect it&#8217;s [sic] rights and reputation,&#8221; First Digital Trust <a href="https://x.com/FirstDigitalHQ/status/1907716272172970222?t=cXThhyasZD8xAHPBU13R2A&amp;s=19">said</a>.

Is Justin Sun Taking A Page From Binance's Playbook? How FDUSD Attack Mirrors Binance-FTX Feud

Charlie Munger didn't just play the long game — he practically invented it. The billionaire investor, vice chairman of Berkshire Hathaway, and Warren Buffett's right-hand man made it to 99 years old with his wit intact, his house unchanged, and his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44571776/charlie-munger-lived-to-99-and-refused-to-give-up-his-favorite-soda-im-sure-diet-coke-shortens-my-life-a-little-but-i-dont-give-a-damn">Diet Coke still bubbling</a>. But if you asked him, he could've done better. A lot better.
"I'd be the richest man on Earth," Munger told <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2023/11/30/full-transcript-from-cnbcs-charlie-munger-a-life-of-wit-and-wisdom-.html">CNBC's Becky Quick</a> in a 2023 interview, if he had the chance to rewind the last 100 years. He wasn't joking. Well, maybe a little. But the regret wasn't about yachts or private islands — it was compounding.

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Missed the Rich List? Just Compound Earlier, Longer, Better.</h2>
"I would've started earlier, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/02/43759618/charlie-munger-said-the-hardest-part-of-getting-rich-is-the-first-100000-but-from-there-it-snowballs-and-you-can-ease-off-the-gas">compounded longer, compounded better</a>," Munger said, as if those three tweaks wouldn't turn every finance bro's playbook inside out. In classic Munger fashion, he didn't blame bad luck or bad markets. He blamed himself — with a smirk. "I basically screwed up," he said. "Given the hand I dealt, I could've done a lot better."
Keep in mind: this is the same guy who built a billion-dollar fortune, helped shape one of the most successful companies in the world, and lived in the <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/charlie-munger-lived-same-house-203031744.html">same house for over 70 years</a>. But he still thought he left money on the table.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Munger's Mansion Theory: Bigger House, Smaller Happiness</h2>
Unlike many billionaires who bounce between mega-mansions, Munger stayed put. "Having a basic house really helps you," he explained. Fancy houses? Great for parties, not so great for peace of mind.

He and Buffett saw it play out over and over again. Friends got richer, homes got fancier, but contentment? Not so much. "In practically every case, they <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44458811/billionaire-warren-buffett-still-drives-a-2014-cadillac-but-joked-charlie-mungers-idea-of-traveling-in-style-was-an-air-conditioned-bus">make the person less happy</a>," Munger said.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Real Trap? Losing Your Sanity</h2>
Money wasn't the hard part. "Staying sane," he said, "that's the trick." That's not a motivational quote — it's a warning. Munger was obsessed with avoiding dumb mistakes: addiction, bad habits, lifestyle creep, and yes, cigarettes.
When asked what the real secret was, he didn't pitch a formula. He just doubled down on what not to do. "Avoid crazy at all costs," he said. "Crazy is way more common than you think."
His entire game plan boiled down to one idea: "You teach me the wrong way to play poker, I will avoid it. You teach me the wrong way to do something else, I will avoid it."

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Billionaire Who Thought He Messed Up</h2>
Munger lived for almost a century, built empires, avoided the traps, and made a fortune while calling himself "cautious." But even he <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44146342/charlie-munger-said-he-was-passionate-about-getting-rich-but-not-because-i-wanted-ferraris-i-wanted-the-independence">thought he could've done better</a>.
That's the genius and the irony. The man who avoided crazy, skipped the mansions, dodged addiction, and drank Diet Coke like it was a health tonic still thought he left wealth on the table.
Maybe that's what <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/25/10/41120804/574616">made him great</a>. Or maybe — just maybe — that's why he lived to nearly 100 in the same house, with the same best friend, and the same unbeatable mindset.
Avoid crazy. Avoid regret. Keep it simple. And don't trust anyone who says peanut brittle isn't part of a well-balanced life.

Billionaire Charlie Munger Said He'd Be The 'Richest Man on Earth' If He Could Go Back 100 Years And Start Over — 'I Could Have Done a Lot Better'

<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/01/42898261/bill-and-melinda-gates-say-they-raised-their-3-daughters-with-a-middle-class-upbringing-youre-not-allowed-to-tell-people-how-we-flew">Before their 2021 divorce</a>, Bill and Melinda Gates were one of the most powerful philanthropic duos in the world. But in 2018, they hit pause to publicly answer the tough stuff — questions they said people actually asked them. One in particular cut deep:
"Is it fair that you have so much influence?"
Melinda didn't hedge, <a href="https://www.gatesnotes.com/2018-annual-letter">writing in the GatesNotes Blog</a>: "No. It's not fair that we have so much wealth when billions of others have so little. And it's not fair that our wealth opens doors that are closed to most people."

</ul>
That wasn't a soundbite. It was part of a longer, pointed response about power, access, and privilege. "World leaders tend to take our phone calls," she wrote. "Cash-strapped school districts are more likely to divert money and talent toward ideas they think we will fund."
And Bill didn't dodge the elephant in the room either:
"If we think it's unfair that we have so much wealth, why don't we <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42622967/bill-gates-answers-why-he-doesnt-just-voluntarily-pay-more-in-taxes-people-pay-taxes-as-an-obligation-of-law-not-out-of-charity">give it all to the government</a>?"
His answer? Foundations can take risks governments can't. They can think globally, play the long game, and test bold ideas without waiting for votes or budgets. "We're like an incubator," he explained. "We aim to improve the quality of the ideas that go into public policies and steer funding toward those that have the most impact."
Trending: 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>
But just because they had answers didn't mean they were ignoring the optics. They admitted the imbalance. They didn't pretend the system was just.
"We use whatever influence we have," Melinda said, "to help as many people as possible and to advance equity around the world."
The letter, released three years before their separation, also gave rare insight into their working relationship — something <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/40004954/melinda-gates-not-surprised-by-warren-buffetts-new-will-to-form-charity-trust-headed-by-his-children">Melinda said often came with imbalance</a> too.
"There were times I felt that disparity—in meetings when I was reticent and he was voluble, or when the person we were meeting with looked toward Bill and not me," she said.
They worked at it. Gave each other feedback. Learned when to pull back and when to push forward. And while Melinda focused more on gender equity, Bill leaned into science and systems. Still, Bill made one thing clear: their decisions were shared.
"Because I've been a public figure longer, and because I'm a man, some people assume I am making the big decisions. That's never been the case."

In their letter, they weren't defending wealth. They were admitting its outsized power — and trying to explain how they use it. Melinda called it "a basic responsibility" for people with money to give it back. Bill added, "Once you've taken care of yourself and your children, the best use of extra wealth is to give it back to society."
The Gates Foundation, still the largest private foundation in the world, continued to carry both of their names even after their divorce. For a while, they remained co-chairs — but in 2024, Melinda <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/bill-melinda-gates-foundation">announced she would step down</a>.&nbsp;
While she left the foundation's leadership, she didn't leave philanthropy. As part of the transition, she received <a href="https://www.reuters.com/business/melinda-gates-step-down-co-chair-bill-melinda-gates-foundation-2024-05-13/">$12.5 billion to pursue her own charitable work</a>, with a focus on women and families through her organization, Pivotal Ventures.
In a world that still questions the role of billionaire influence, their 2018 words haven't aged out: "It's not fair," Melinda wrote."But we're trying to make it count."

Bill and Melinda Gates Agreed 'It's Not Fair We Have So Much Wealth' — And Say Their Money Opens Doors Most People Will Never Get Through

In an exciting development for astronomy enthusiasts, the Blaze Star, situated 3,000 light-years from Earth, is anticipated to explode soon, promising a unique spectacle in the night sky.
What Happened: The star system T Coronae Borealis, commonly known as the Blaze Star, is on the brink of a nova explosion. This rare event, which happens approximately every 80 years, will render the star visible from Earth for roughly a week.
According to <a href="https://www.nasa.gov/centers-and-facilities/marshall/nasa-global-astronomers-await-rare-nova-explosion/">NASA</a>, T Coronae Borealis — or "T CrB," in astronomer lingo — is actually composed of two celestial bodies: an Earth-sized remnant of a dead star, a.k.a. "white dwarf," and "an ancient red giant slowly being stripped of hydrogen by the relentless gravitational pull of its hungry neighbor." 
Post-explosion, the Blaze Star will radiate thousands of times brighter than its usual luminosity,&nbsp;appearing as a new star&nbsp;in the sky, comparable in brightness to the North Star, Polaris.

"It's a once-in-a-lifetime event that will create a lot of new astronomers out there. It's incredibly exciting to have this front-row seat," NASA astronomer Dr. Rebekah Hounsell <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/04/04/us-news/blaze-star-thats-3000-lightyears-away-will-soon-explode/">told </a>New York Post. 
The Blaze Star is a binary system comprising a white dwarf and an ancient red giant. The white dwarf accumulates&nbsp;hydrogen from the red giant, leading to increased pressure and heat. This buildup ultimately triggers a thermonuclear blast&nbsp;that can be seen across&nbsp;the galaxy.
Why It Matters: The timing of this celestial event remains uncertain. Initially predicted to occur last June, the explosion was then rescheduled for September, and now may happen this month. 
To witness the Blaze Star, one should gaze towards the Northern Crown constellation, drawing a&nbsp;line from the two brightest&nbsp;stars in the Northern Hemisphere, Arcturus and Vega.

Blaze Star 3,000 Light-Years Away Set To Explode in Rare Event Visible From Earth: 'Once-In-A-Lifetime Event'

In a swift response to President Donald Trump&#8216;s global tariff hike, global hedge funds and levered exchange-traded funds (ETFs) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/04/44645681/jpmorgan-raises-recession-risk-to-60-as-largest-us-tax-hike-in-60-years-hits-global-economy">have offloaded more than $40 billion of stocks</a>, according to recent notes to clients from banks.
What Happened: The announcement of the severe global tariffs, the highest in over a century, has resulted in a loss of over $4 trillion in stock market value for S&amp;P 500 companies, Reuters reported.
JPMorgan (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>) has projected that volatility targeting portfolios will sell between $25 billion and $30 billion in equities in the coming days to mitigate risk. Additionally, levered ETFs are expected to sell an extra $23 billion, predominantly in tech stocks, to rebalance by the end of the day.

In a separate note, Goldman Sachs (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>) reported that equities long/short hedge funds globally experienced the largest net selling in nearly 15 years on Thursday, becoming the most bearish since 2011. The bank also noted that portfolio managers primarily increased bets against stocks, credit, and equity ETFs following Trump&#8217;s tariff announcement, which sparked recession fears.
U.S. stocks led the hedge fund sales, with financial shares being net-sold at the fastest pace since 2016. However, sectors like real estate, staples, and utilities, known for weathering recessionary periods well, were the only ones investors bought on a net basis.
Financial experts speaking <a href="https://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/article-14574981/Where-invest-Trumps-tariffs-means-pension-definitive-guide-Mails-money-experts.html">to</a> Britain's The Mail on Sunday see potential for investors in international ETFs, such as the iShares MSCI India ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INDA#BATS">INDA</a>), Vanguard's Germany All Cap, and the Amundi UK Equity All Cap.
Why It Matters: The sudden sell-off of stocks by global hedge funds and ETFs is a direct result of the tariff hike announced by President Trump.
This move, the largest in over a century, has not only led to a significant loss in stock market value but has also increased the probability of a U.S. recession.

Global Hedge Funds and ETFs Offload Over $40 Billion in Stocks Following Trump's Tariff Announcement

A conservative legal nonprofit, the New Civil Liberties Alliance (NCLA) has initiated a lawsuit <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44653029/trump-tariffs-trigger-wall-street-bloodbath-sp-500-notches-worst-weekly-drop-since-2020">against President Donald Trump's tariffs</a>, representing a small stationery company based in Florida.
What Happened: According to a report <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/04/05/trump-tariffs-sink-conservatives-challenge-whether-theyre-legal/">by</a> The Washington Post, an increasing number of conservatives are questioning President Trump&#8217;s authority to impose extensive tariffs. The first legal challenge comes from a small stationery company, Simplified, represented by the NCLA. The NCLA has a track record of successful lawsuits, including one that led to the Supreme Court overturning the Chevron deference last year, significantly reducing the power of federal agencies to regulate various aspects of American life.
The NCLA filed a complaint this week on behalf of Simplified, owned by Emily Ley. The complaint challenges the legality of Trump&#8217;s tariffs imposed on all Chinese imports earlier this year. The NCLA contends that Trump&#8217;s use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to justify the tariffs was unconstitutional as it does not authorize the president to impose tariffs.

&#8220;No prior president ever thought the IEEPA allowed him to set tariffs. Reading this law broadly enough to uphold the China tariff would transfer core legislative power,&#8221; NCLA President Mark Chenoweth said in a statement. The lawsuit alleges that the new tariffs will impose hundreds of thousands of dollars in costs on Ley&#8217;s business.
The lawsuit names the United States, Trump, the Executive Office of the President, the Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and the agencies&#8217; leadership as defendants. The plaintiffs are asking the court to declare the China import tariff unlawful and to prevent its implementation and enforcement.
Despite the market plunge and fears of a recession, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent downplayed the concerns, stating that the administration was &#8220;building the long term,&#8221; as reported <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/04/06/us-news/scott-bessent-downplays-market-plunge-as-he-doubles-down-on-tariffs/">by</a> The New York Post.
Why It Matters: The lawsuit comes in the wake of global markets plunging after President Trump announced sweeping new tariffs, an event he dubbed &#8220;Liberation Day.&#8221;
The tariffs sparked backlash from analysts and fears of retaliation from global trade partners. China, the U.S.&#8217;s largest trade deficit partner, was hit with a steep 34% tariff, leading to an escalation in the global trade war.

Conservative Nonprofit Launches Court Challenge to Trump Tariffs — A Sign of Things To Come?

In a 1997 speech, famed investor&nbsp;Peter Lynch imparted his investment wisdom, emphasizing&nbsp;the significance of comprehending the&nbsp;business behind the stock and the ineffectiveness of economic forecasting.
What Happened: Lynch, celebrated for his remarkable stint at&nbsp;Fidelity Investments, divulged his investment insights during the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=myu4Nv0pt0U">speech</a>.
He underscored the need to understand&nbsp;the business behind the stock, advising, &#8220;If you can&#8217;t&nbsp;explain to an 11-year-old in&nbsp;two minutes or less, why&nbsp;you own the stock, you&nbsp;shouldn&#8217;t own it.&#8221;
This philosophy is in line with&nbsp;Warren Buffett&#8216;s investment approach, which advocates investing in areas of personal expertise. 
&nbsp;&#8220;If you can&#8217;t explain to an 11-year-old in two minutes or less, why you own the stock, you shouldn&#8217;t own it. Understanding the business behind the stock is the most important principle of investing in the stock market. This is why&nbsp;Buffett&nbsp;only invests into what he understands and what falls in his circle of competence. I buy stuff like Dunkin Donuts, Stop and Shop and made money on them,&#8221; Lynch said during the speech.

</ul>
Lynch also rejected the concept of economic forecasting, identifying himself as a &#8220;bottom-up&#8221; investor who zeroes in on individual stocks through comprehensive company and industry analysis.
Lynch further spotlighted&nbsp;the importance of patience in&nbsp;investing, indicating that substantial returns could be reaped even a decade after a company&#8217;s initial public offering. 
He cited Walmart as an instance, underlining&nbsp;that investing is a marathon,&nbsp;not a sprint.
"A decade after Walmart when public in 1970, it only had 15% penetration across the U.S. Thus, one could assume they had plenty of runway ahead to expand across the country, but success wasn't guaranteed, so some investors might have though they already missed the bus," Lynch said while talking about the Walmart stock option.

Why It Matters: Lynch&#8217;s&nbsp;principles serve as a valuable&nbsp;roadmap for both novice and veteran&nbsp;investors. His emphasis on understanding&nbsp;the business, focusing on individual&nbsp;stocks, and exercising patience resonates&nbsp;with the strategies of successful&nbsp;investors like Buffett. 
His insights serve as a reminder to investors that successful investing hinges on&nbsp;making informed decisions and playing&nbsp;the long game.

Peter Lynch's Advice: 'If You Can't Explain to an 11-Year-Old in Two Minutes or Less Why You Own the Stock, You Shouldn't Own It'

A 2014 "<a href="https://x.com/ThomasSowell/status/1907788632267645294">60 Minutes" interview with Elon Musk</a> is suddenly back in rotation on X and it's not hard to see why. With headlines swirling about Musk backing away from his role at the Department of Government Efficiency and calls for federal spending cuts growing louder, the clip is a timely throwback to a different kind of Musk headline—one where he wasn't slashing budgets <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44079465/report-says-elon-musks-businesses-have-been-awarded-38-billion-in-government-contracts-since-2003-heres-what-taxpayers-are-funding">but writing checks to the government</a>.
In the resurfaced interview, journalist Scott Pelley zeroed in on Tesla's taxpayer-funded boost. "Taxpayers essentially loaned you, Tesla, almost $500 million. How much of that do you still owe?"
Musk, calm as ever, replied, "We paid the whole loan back with interest and a prepayment penalty last year."

</ul>
When asked why he paid the loan off early, Musk said the taxpayers had supported Tesla, so, as he put it, "we ought to repay them as soon as we can." He added, "Since we had the ability to do it and the stock markets were good, let's pay it back with interest and a thank you note, by the way. I said, ‘really appreciate it. Thank you.'"
That's not just talk. In 2010, Tesla received a $465 million loan from the Department of Energy's Advanced Technology Vehicles Manufacturing program. It was part of a broader effort to jumpstart clean energy and EV innovation in the U.S.&nbsp;

In May 2013, Tesla wrote a check to the U.S. government for the full balance—nine years ahead of schedule—making it the first American automaker to fully repay its ATVM loan. And they didn't just slide the check under the door. The repayment came with interest and a prepayment penalty, signaling Musk wasn't looking for a discount or an exit ramp.
Even more notable? The thank-you note.
"I would like to thank the Department of Energy and the members of Congress and their staffs that worked hard to create the program," Musk <a href="https://ir.tesla.com/press-release/tesla-repays-department-energy-loan-nine-years-early">said in a statement</a> in 2013, "and particularly the American taxpayer from whom these funds originate. I hope we did you proud."

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>
That line alone could be a headline in 2025. Because these days, Musk is associated more with government belt-tightening than borrowing. As a leader of DOGE, he's been at the helm of a controversial crackdown on federal spending—that has resulted in the cutting more than 280,000 jobs and the trimming department budgets across the board. But now, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/04/44611347/is-elon-musk-leaving-doge-role-trump-tells-cabinet-move-could-happen-soon-report">reports suggest Musk is stepping back</a> from that post, citing the need to refocus on his own companies.
With <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44621408/market-access-has-a-price-trump-unveils-list-of-tariffs-countries-targeted">tariffs looming and funding debates heating up</a>, the clip is more than nostalgia—it's a reminder that Musk has played nearly every position on the public funding field: borrower, taxpayer, and budget-slasher-in-chief.
So yes, he had almost a full decade left to pay off Tesla's loan. But in true Musk fashion, he didn't wait around. And he left a thank-you note when he left.

Elon Musk Paid Off Tesla's $465 Million Government Loan 9 Years Early With Interest, Penalties —And a Message to Taxpayers: 'I Hope We Did You Proud'

Anthony Scaramucci has publicly criticized President Donald Trump&#8216;s recent tariff policies.
What Happened: Scaramucci, who had a brief stint in the Trump administration in 2017, has been a consistent critic of the president. His latest remarks were in reaction to Trump&#8217;s decision to impose new tariffs on the majority of the U.S.&#8217;s major trading partners.
Following a significant plunge in&nbsp;the stock market and global&nbsp;markets in the wake of Trump&#8217;s &#8220;Liberation Day&#8221; announcement, Scaramucci expressed his criticism on a social media platform. In a post on X, he stated, &#8220;There&nbsp;is stupid and then there&nbsp;is Donald Trump Stupid: DTS.&nbsp;A new global low.&#8221;
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>

Furthermore, Scaramucci lambasted Trump&#8217;s team for being in an &#8220;echo chamber of stupidity&#8221; with regards to&nbsp;its trade policy. His comments&nbsp;came on the heels of China&#8217;s retaliation against the U.S.&#8217;s&nbsp;tariffs with its own on&nbsp;Thursday.

Trump&#8217;s tariff announcement triggered a global selloff, resulting in the Dow Jones Industrial Average falling&nbsp;more than 1,600 points on&nbsp;Thursday. 
Despite the market&#8217;s reaction, Trump likened&nbsp;the United States to a&nbsp;patient requiring surgery, suggesting that the market drop was anticipated.
Why It Matters: The ongoing trade war has been a contentious issue, with critics arguing that the tariffs could harm the U.S. economy. Scaramucci&#8217;s comments highlight the growing concern among some former Trump administration officials about the potential economic fallout from the president&#8217;s trade policies.
Moreover, the market&#8217;s reaction to the tariff announcement underscores the potential global economic impact of these policies. 
The significant drop in the Dow Jones Industrial Average following the announcement indicates the level of concern among investors about the potential economic consequences of the ongoing trade war.

Scaramucci on Tariffs: 'There Is Stupid and Then There Is Donald Trump Stupid'

<ul>
<li>Block CEO Jack Dorsey has offered his thoughts on how Bitcoin could fail.</li>
<li>Dorsey&#8217;s thoughts go against the current prevailing narrative.</li>
<li>The Block CEO&#8217;s statements have unsurprisingly sparked pushback.</li>
</ul>
Is Bitcoin meant to be a medium of exchange, a store of value, or maybe both? This question continues to be the subject of serious debate, especially in core Bitcoin circles.
The debate has now been rehashed by statements from Twitter co-founder and Block Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XYZ#NYSE">XYZ</a>) CEO Jack Dorsey.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Debate On Relevance</h2>
Dorsey has asserted that Bitcoin will fail if it becomes nothing more than a store of value. He said this while speaking with Haley Berkoe, product marketing manager of Block subsidiary and Bitcoin-focused development firm Spiral, on a "Presidio Bitcoin" podcast <a href="https://youtu.be/0PaV_6vjkXI?si=H_Aj15tOhYcsakmG">episode</a> last week. According to him, Bitcoin succeeds through payments.

</ul>
Dorsey&#8217;s statements come at a time when <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/04/44628685/bitcoin-is-a-realistic-global-reserve-asset-experts-say">the leading narrative for Bitcoin</a> is that it has the potential to become a store of value on par with gold due to its limited supply. This thesis has left many unwilling to spend their coins in hopes that the asset&#8217;s value will continue to grow.
But in Dorsey&#8217;s telling, the current store of value focus presents a path to &#8220;irrelevance.&#8221;
&#8220;I think it has to be payments for it to be relevant on the every day. Otherwise, it&#8217;s just something you kind of buy and forget and only use in emergency situations or when you want to get liquid again. So I think if it doesn&#8217;t transition to payments and find that everyday use case, it just gets increasingly irrelevant. And that&#8217;s failure to me,&#8221; he told Berkoe.
Trending: 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>?
Addressing scaling and volatility concerns, Dorsey advocated for a focus on creating simple and accessible payment solutions that prioritize speed, privacy, and security. He argued that with time, greater accessibility, and a renewed focus on the ideals that birthed the cryptocurrency, the issue of volatility will also eventually be addressed.
Dorsey appeared to hold the view that Bitcoin had currently veered away from its original vision.
&#8220;There&#8217;s tons of stuff we need to do to really get back to the white paper, which is, you know, a system for electronic peer-to-peer digital cash like we have not seen that yet,&#8221; he asserted.
Dorsey's statements have unsurprisingly sparked pushback.

&#8220;Bitcoin has value because it is needed. It is needed to store value as governments erode the value of their currencies. It is needed for payments to circumvent financial censorship. Currency devaluation affects everyone, while payment censorship affects small groups,&#8221; he wrote.
Interestingly, &#8220;Satoshi Nakamoto,&#8221; the pseudonymous creator of the cryptocurrency, did appear to envision a future for Bitcoin as a store of value, widely quoted as <a href="https://x.com/danheld/status/1084848069470957568?t=PjCF_YWkAkCWkPR2VIcfqg&amp;s=19">saying</a>, &#8220;It might make sense just to get some in case it catches on.&#8221;
Time will tell which narrative will prevail or whether both can coexist. In the meantime, however, speculators appear to have the upper hand as the asset <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/04/44636065/bitcoin-ethereum-xrp-dogecoin-dump-on-tariff-news">trades like a tech stock</a>.

Jack Dorsey Says Bitcoin Fails If It Is Not Used For Everyday Payments

The escalating trade war spearheaded by President Donald Trump is causing unease among Republicans, corporate America, and even Trump&#8217;s allies.
What Happened: The intensifying trade war has sparked concern among Republicans on Capitol Hill, corporate America, and allies of President Trump. Despite the economic implications, Republican lawmakers are currently tolerating the situation due to fear of Trump&#8217;s wrath.
Lobbyists are quietly urging lawmakers to safeguard their interests, but they too are fearful of becoming targets. Even insiders from Trump&#8217;s circle, concerned about the impact of the tariffs, are hoping for intervention from elsewhere.
An anonymous public affairs operative <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/04/04/trump-tariffs-fear-lobby-business-congress-00006608">told </a>Politico, &#8220;There&nbsp;is zero incentive for any&nbsp;company or brand to be&nbsp;remotely critical of this administration.&#8221; This fear is widespread across sectors, with an energy industry official expressing similar sentiments.
With Trump&#8217;s firm grip over Washington, he has faced little opposition to policies that are disrupting the global economy, damaging America&#8217;s&nbsp;relationships with its closest allies, and making deep&nbsp;unilateral cuts to the federal&nbsp;government.

As the Trump administration doubles down on tariffs, it&#8217;s&nbsp;unclear what the breaking point&nbsp;will be for officials and&nbsp;lobbyists representing the most-impacted constituencies.&nbsp;
Advocates for affected industries are&nbsp;trying to gauge the durability of the new tariffs, cautious about voicing strong opposition in case&nbsp;the administration decides to quickly&nbsp;scale them back.
Despite the expectation of a louder pushback after the implementation of&nbsp;a baseline tariff of 10&nbsp;percent on all imported goods&nbsp;and higher &#8220;reciprocal&#8221;&nbsp;tariffs on dozens of other&nbsp;countries, no&nbsp;major trade group has filed&nbsp;litigation as of Friday midday.
"He campaigned on this," one GOP senator said as panic stirred in the Senate hallways. "This is just the beginning."
Even on Capitol Hill,&nbsp;fear is spreading among GOP&nbsp;lawmakers as the market loses trillions of dollars. However, most Republicans are currently&nbsp;unwilling to call on Trump&nbsp;to back down.
Why It Matters: The escalating trade war is not only causing economic disruption but also creating a climate of fear among lawmakers, corporate America, and even those within Trump&#8217;s circle. The reluctance to challenge the administration&#8217;s policies, despite the potential economic fallout, underscores the extent of Trump&#8217;s influence. 
The situation also raises questions about the potential long-term impact on the global economy and America&#8217;s relationships with its allies.

Trump's Trade War Intensifies, Stirring Unease Among Republicans and Corporate America

Investors can choose from a wide range of assets. Stocks and crypto are two of the most liquid investments that can produce higher returns, but that's not the investment renowned New York Times bestselling author Scott Galloway praised in a recent podcast interview.
He views real estate as one of the top investments due to its tax advantages and cash flow. While some people don't like real estate's relative illiquidity, Galloway views it as a strength.
"It's a form of forced savings," the NYU professor and finance expert stated.

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Real Estate Offers Tremendous Leverage</h2>
Not only does real estate act as a form of forced savings, but it also offers tremendous leverage. You can buy a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/10/41320015/guess-what-percent-of-households-have-over-1-million-you-might-be-shocked-by-the-number-of-milli">$1 million</a> property with a $200,000 down payment if you put 20% down. If you have a good credit score and a low debt-to-income ratio, you might even get away with a 3% down payment.
Very few investment opportunities allow you to put down $30,000 to gain ownership of $1 million worth of assets. You have to contend with mortgage payments for up to 30 years, but if you earn rental income from the property, you break even while building up equity.&nbsp;
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">Investment Properties Can Also Lower Your Tax Bill</h2>
Real estate is one of the most tax-advantaged assets available. Investors can write depreciation off their expenses, and Section 179 allows investors to use accelerated depreciation to keep tax bills low. Some investors buy multiple properties each year and use Section 179 to defer income taxes continuously.&nbsp;
While Section 179 would result in significant capital gains if you sold the property, rules like the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/1031-exchanges-are-here-to-stay">1031 exchange</a> and step-up basis can help investors avoid taxes on their gains. You save money on taxes, and the lack of liquidity turns real estate into a store of value. In that regard, real estate is similar to gold as a hedge against inflation.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Building a Real Estate Portfolio</h2>
Real estate investors have access to plenty of leverage, but you still have to make monthly mortgage payments. Furthermore, you will need a good credit score and enough money for a down payment.
See Also: 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>?
Putting more money down will reduce how much you pay in interest, while if you make the 3% minimum down payment, you can get started sooner.&nbsp;
It's good to brush up on the basics of real estate before rushing to make investments. Savvy investors often use a property's cap rate to gauge its potential returns. Higher cap rates come with higher potential returns and elevated risks. You can arrive at this calculation if you divide a property's net operating income by its market value.
It's best to focus on increasing your income and minimizing your expenses before you get started with real estate. Earning more money will make it easier to get started, but savvy investors can also raise money through crowdfunding.&nbsp;

Scott Galloway Says This Is The Best Investment for Lowering Your Tax Bill: 'It's a Form of Forced Savings'

<ul>
<li>Losses in crypto security incidents in Q1 nearly doubled compared to Q1 2024.</li>
<li>A continued dominance of so-called access control attacks has raised concerns.</li>
<li>Behind Q1&#8217;s alarming hack numbers, there was at least one positive trend.</li>
</ul>
The cryptocurrency industry is no stranger to hacks and scams, but Q1 was particularly rough, and that might be putting it mildly.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Bad Actors Make A Killing</h2>
$2 billion.
That&#8217;s how much was lost in crypto security incidents in Q1, according to a Tuesday security <a href="https://hacken.io/insights/q1-2025-security-report/">report</a> from Web3 security outfit Hacken. For context, the figure represents a 96% increase over what the industry lost in Q1 2024 and is almost equivalent to the $2.25 billion lost in the whole of 2024.

</ul>
Of the $2 billion lost in Q1, over $1.6 billion was lost to so-called access control exploits, over $300 million was lost to rug pulls, over $96 million was lost to phishing scams, and over $29 million was lost to smart contract vulnerabilities.
The dominance of access control exploits is significant as a variation of it has led to the largest exploits for three consecutive quarters.&nbsp;
Access control exploits see bad actors target the infrastructure surrounding a project, like its website front-end, to gain access and steal user funds. In the past three quarters, it has proved particularly effective in targeting Safe multi-sig crypto wallets, which are thought to provide additional security by eliminating a single point of failure.

As highlighted by Hacken, access control exploits targeting Safe multi-sigs were behind the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/07/39846707/wazirx-declares-230m-hack-a-force-majeure-event-pledges-full-investigation">$235 million WazirX exploit</a> in Q3 2024, the $55 million Radiant Capital exploit in Q4 2024, and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/02/43886224/bybit-founder-confirms-1-4-billion-ethereum-hack-blames-masked-transaction">the infamous $1.5 billion Bybit hack</a> in Q1, the largest in the quarter by far and the largest exploit in history.
According to Hacken, the trend highlighted a failure to secure the surrounding infrastructure around these multi-sigs as much as the smart contracts behind the wallet. Security practices suggested by the firm included implementing human-readable signing to allow signers to see clearly the details of the transaction they are consenting to, securing off-chain components like web interfaces, and promoting operational discipline among signers.
Meanwhile, in addition to this access control exploit concern, Hacken highlighted that bad actors displayed new money laundering tricks in Q1.&nbsp;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Hackers Moving Away From Mixers?</h2>
Typically, when funds are stolen in the cryptocurrency space, they are funneled through mixers to obscure their origins, but bad actors may now be turning to a very different venue: trading platforms.
In this approach, bad actors open large leveraged bets with their loot while hedging against that bet elsewhere with clean capital. They then let the leveraged position get liquidated while retaining the profits from the hedged position.
&#8220;By sacrificing the origin wallet and creating a loss event on-chain, the attacker distances themselves from the stolen capital while retaining its economic value,&#8221; the report wrote.

Another approach these malicious actors are exploring is staging sandwich attacks to reframe stolen funds as profits from DeFi arbitrage.
Still, behind Q1&#8217;s alarming hack numbers and the growing sophistication in how bad actors launder their loot, the cryptocurrency industry was able to largely maintain one positive trend.
Specifically, the industry did not see a significant rise in decentralized finance exploits in line with a steady decline in the previous four quarters. According to Hacken, this suggested that protocol design is maturing.

For young investors, building a dividend portfolio early can compound significantly in the long run. A 23-year-old investor recently turned to Reddit for advice on his $75,000 portfolio, sparking a debate on the best strategy.
The investor has built an impressive portfolio generating $1,828 in annual dividend income. His holdings include a combination of dividend stocks, ETFs, and alternative assets like crypto and gold.
Investing $1,000 per week, the poster shared that he believes in sacrificing when you&#8217;re young for the life you want to live later: &#8220;My motto is &#8216;Work hard now so you can live life to its fullest when it&#8217;s harder.&#8217; The idea is to have additional income so that even if your job pays worse down the line, you&#8217;re not fu&#8211;ed. I&#8217;ve already made close to $15,000 in investments. The rest was money I invested over a few years. So $60,000.&#8221;
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>
The 23-year-old&#8217;s strategy leans heavily on dividends, but besides sharing his picks, he&#8217;s also asked the members of the online discussion board for the best approach on optimizing his portfolio further. The r/Dividends community has jumped to the comment section to share its insights and suggestions, which circled around investing in growth-focused assets rather than dividends for now and shifting to dividends down the road.
Still, many commenters congratulated the young investor on his picks, so let&#8217;s dive deeper into those.

23-Year-Old Investor With $75K Portfolio, $1.8K Dividend Income Reveals Top Assets – Asks 'What I Should Look At Or Add To?' Reddit Debates

It's finally spring, and for the first time in a while, the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/housing-market">housing market</a> is starting to show signs of life. After a long stretch of minimal activity, more "For Sale" signs are cropping up across the country. Inventory is climbing, which is good news for buyers who've been waiting for more choices—but the big question is: will people actually take the plunge?
Even with more homes on the market, buying isn't exactly easy right now. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mortgage-rates">Mortgage rates</a> are still hovering around 6.65% for a 30-year fixed loan, which, while slightly better than earlier in the year, remains high by historical standards, according to <a href="https://www.npr.org/2025/04/03/nx-s1-5349453/spring-home-buying-mortgage-rates">NPR</a>. And home prices haven't cooled much either.
Over the past five years, the median price of a home has surged by about 47%, making affordability a major concern for many would-be buyers. Still, there are reasons for optimism. In February, the number of existing homes for sale was up 17% compared to the same time last year, and March saw a 10% increase in new listings, according to NPR.
The so-called "lock-in effect"—where homeowners with ultra-low mortgage rates felt trapped in their current homes—may be easing as life events, job changes, or simple restlessness nudge people to move. Realtor.com <a href="https://www.realtor.com/research/march-2025-data/">data</a> shows that sellers are getting more flexible, with more than 17% of listings featuring price reductions in March—the highest level for any March since 2016.
But it's not all smooth sailing. Pending home sales—homes under contract—were actually down 5.2% in March compared to a year ago, suggesting many buyers are still hesitant. That hesitation is especially evident in competitive markets, where buyers like one couple in Connecticut have found themselves outbid even after offering well above asking. Others decide to sit tight, are worried about job stability, or are just burned out from the hunt.
Meanwhile, new rules around how agents are paid have added another layer of complexity. Buyers now have to sign an agreement outlining their agent's compensation before they can even tour homes, and sellers are no longer automatically covering the buyer's agent commission. While many agents say the change hasn't had a huge effect yet, the added negotiations aren't exactly making the process easier, according to NPR.
So while more homes are finally hitting the market, uncertainty still hangs over this spring season—leaving buyers and sellers alike wondering if this will be the moment when things finally start moving again.

More Homes Hit The Market, But Pending Sales Dip As Buyers Hesitate

Entrepreneur and investor&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/mark-cuban" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mark Cuban</a>&nbsp;is one of the most well-known figures in the business and sports worlds. Cuban is also pretty open to sharing advice and tips on how to make money and potentially become a millionaire.
In 2022, Cuban shared four rules to making money and becoming a millionaire in an interview with&nbsp;<a href="https://www.gq.com/video/watch/first-million-gq-sports-my-first-million-mark-cuban" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">GQ</a>, as shared by&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2022/12/18/mark-cuban-simple-rules-for-making-money-becoming-millionaire.html?utm_term=Autofeed&amp;utm_medium=Social&amp;utm_content=Intl&amp;utm_source=Facebook&amp;fbclid=IwAR1Yxtyqv6lCRGMyPrVM7QBr4u994gI7NdBtOohtDFtIubCUpbncTQKZ0jU#Echobox=1674052744" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">CNBC</a>.&nbsp;
&#8220;If you want to be a millionaire, you can do it, but there&#8217;s a couple things you have to be able to accomplish,&#8221; Cuban said.
Rule 1: &#8220;Find something you can be good at. Then, be great at it.&#8221; Cuban&#8217;s first rule is possibly the most important. He advises that people need to focus on their strengths and develop those skills as their focus area. This could be a certain vocation, a sport, or creating content. A passion for something can often translate into putting in the necessary work and effort to be successful.
Rule 2: &#8220;Know how to sell.&#8221; CNBC <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2022/11/13/mark-cuban-used-a-14-second-pitch-to-make-money-at-his-first-sales-job.html">reported</a> that Cuban sold trash bags door-to-door when he was 12 years old to earn money to buy sneakers. Cuban bought the trash bags for $3 and sold them for $6. Part of Cuban&#8217;s sales pitch was the offer to be available by phone whenever someone needed the trash bags. He also offered to deliver them in his wagon.

Rule 3: &#8220;Be curious and always learning.&#8221; Finding something a person is good at and becoming great is a key step. Another key step might be continuing to learn and getting better at the subject or skill. Cuban has preached over the years that people should be willing to continue learning and striving to improve.
Rule 4: &#8220;When you walk into a room, you (need to know) your s&#x2A;&#x2A;&#x2A; better than anyone else in the room.&#8221;
Cuban said this is the important step before starting your own company and being able to &#8220;control your own destiny.&#8221;
Cuban has often shared that great leaders and businessmen often fail several times before making it. It doesn&#8217;t matter how many times you fail, he says. Being right only once can make a difference in life.

매주, 벤징가의 스톡 위스퍼 지수(Benzinga's Stock Whisper Index)는 독점 데이터(proprietary data)와 패턴 인식의 조합을 사용하여 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/stock-whisper-index" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">표면 바로 아래에서 주목</a>을 받을 만한 주식 5종목을 소개한다.
투자자들은 가치가 저평가된, 관심이 적은, 새로운 주식들을 항상 찾고 있다. 소매 거래자들이 사용할 수 있는 방법은 무수히 많기 때문에 새로운 기회를 발견하고 특정 주식이 관심을 가져야 하는 이유를 이해하기 위해 풍부한 정보를 조사하는 것이 어려운 경우가 많다.

다음은 2월 28일로 끝나는 주간의 벤징가 ‘스톡 위스퍼' 지수의 개요:
스프라우츠 파머스 마켓 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFM#NASDAQ">SFM</a>):
이 스페셜티 식료품 소매업체는 2024년 11월과 <a href="https://kr.benzinga.com/news/usa/stocks/%EB%B2%A4%EC%A7%95%EA%B0%80%EC%9D%98-%EC%8A%A4%ED%86%A1-%EC%9C%84%EC%8A%A4%ED%8D%BC-%EC%A7%80%EC%88%98-%EC%95%B1%EB%9F%AC%EB%B9%88-%ED%80%80%ED%85%80-%EC%BB%B4%ED%93%A8%ED%8C%85-%EC%BD%94/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2025년 1월</a>에 이어 다시 스톡 마켓 인덱스에 등장했다. 이 회사는 최근 <a href="https://investors.sprouts.com/news/news-details/2025/Sprouts-Farmers-Market-Inc.-Reports-Fourth-Quarter-and-Full-Year-2024-Results/default.aspx">4분기 및 2024년 전체 실적을 발표</a>했으며, 주당순이익(EPS)과 매출이 모두 시장 예상치를 상회했다. 이 회사는 4개 분기 연속으로 주당순이익과 매출 추정치를 초과했다. 스프라우츠는 2025년 순매출 성장률을 10.5%에서 12.5%로, 연간 동종매장 매출 성장률을 10%에서 11%로 안내하고 있다. 여러 애널리스트들이 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/SFM/analyst-ratings">실적 발표 후 목표 주가를 상향 조정</a>했다. 이 소매업체는 여전히 투자자들로부터 강한 관심을 끌고 있으며, 매장 확장과 순매출 성장으로 주가가 계속 상승할 수 있다. 주가는 지난 1년 동안 137% 이상 상승했다.

아이온큐 (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IONQ#NYSE">IONQ</a>):
양자 컴퓨팅 회사인 아이온큐는 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/management/25/02/43993251/ionq-q4-eps-miss-500-million-offering-ceo-appointment-acquires-stake-in-id-quantique-details" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">분기 실적</a> 발표와 CEO 교체 발표에 힘입어 독자들로부터 강한 관심을 받았다. 이 회사는 주당순이익(EPS)에서 애널리스트 예상치를 하회했지만, 매출에서는 예상치를 상회했다. 회사는 10개 분기 연속으로 매출 예상치를 초과했다.
&#8220;우리는 2024년에 아이온큐의 가장 좋은 해를 맞이하여 예약 및 매출 가이던스 범위의 상한선을 초과하고, 정말로 중요한 기술적 발전을 이루었다&#8221;고 아이온큐의 이사회 의장인 피터 채프먼이 말했다.
분기 재무 결과와 함께 이 회사는 최대 5억 달러의 시장 내 주식 공모를 발표했다. 또한 SK텔레콤 및 아이디퀀티크(ID Quantique)와의 두 가지 계약을 발표했다.
가장 큰 뉴스는 채프먼이 CEO 자리에서 이사회 의장으로 전환되고, 이사회 멤버인 니콜로 데 마시가 새로운 사장 겸 CEO가 된다는 발표였다. 데 마시는 아이온큐를 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/m-a/21/03/20054892/first-pure-play-quantum-computing-company-comes-public-what-investors-should-know-about-ionq">SPAC 합병을 통해 상장한 인물</a>이다.
주가는 이번 주에 21% 이상 하락했지만, 여전히 지난 1년간 137% 이상 상승했다. 투자자들은 새로운 리더십으로 다음 성장 스토리를 주의 깊게 지켜볼 가능성이 높다. 양자 컴퓨팅은 여전히 뜨거운 투자 테마이다.

큐리그 닥터 페퍼 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KDP#NASDAQ">KDP</a>):
음료 회사인 큐리그 닥터 페퍼는 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43940008/keurig-dr-pepper-q4-earnings-beat-estimates-stock-gains" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">분기 재무 실적</a>을 발표한 후 독자들로부터 강한 관심을 받았다. 이 회사의 주당순이익이 시장 예상치를 초과했으며, 지난 10개 분기 중 6개 분기에서 주당순이익이 예상치를 초과한 추세가 이어졌다. 매출이 애널리스트 예상치를 상회했으며, 최근 10개 분기 중 7개 분기에서 애널리스트 예상치를 초과했다. 보고서의 주요 내용 중 하나는 미국 리프레시먼트 음료 부문에서 10.3%의 전년 대비 증가가 있었다. 이 회사는 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43966231/keurig-dr-peppers-dirty-soda-success-social-media-fuels-eighth-consecutive-year-of-market-share-growth">소셜 미디어에서의 강력한 브랜드 인지도</a>와 닥터 페퍼가 8년 연속으로 시장 점유율 성장을 기록했다고 언급했다.
회사는 또한 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/02/44010283/why-keurig-dr-pepper-kdp-shares-are-falling">자회사 JAB 홀딩 컴퍼니</a>를 통해 7,300만 주의 추가 공모를 발표했다. 공모 후 JAB은 KDP의 발행 주식의 약 10.7%를 보유하게 된다. 이번 매각은 주식을 희석시킬 수 있으며 JAB이 주식이 적정 가치로 평가되었거나 과대평가되었다고 판단하고 있다는 신호일 수 있다.
여러 애널리스트들이 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/KDP/analyst-ratings">실적 발표 후 목표 주가를 상향 조정</a>했다.

선 커뮤니티즈 (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SUI#NYSE">SUI</a>):
주거용 REIT인 선 커뮤니티즈는 회사가 세이프 하버 마리나(Safe Harbor Marinas)에 대한 지분을 블랙스톤(NYSE:<a class="items-end ticker-link-wrapper inline-flex" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/bx" target="_blank" rel="dofollow noopener" aria-label="Go to Quote Page for BX">BX</a>)의 자회사에<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/25/02/43917549/sun-communities-reaps-5-65-billion-from-safe-harbor-sale-refines-strategy"> 매각하기로 합의</a>한 이후 독자들로부터 강한 관심을 받았다. 이 거래는 선 커뮤니티즈에 비용 후 55억 달러의 수익을 가져올 것이며, 회사는 이를 부채 상환, 핵심 사업에 대한 투자 및 주주 배당에 사용할 계획dl다.
제조 주택, RV 공원 및 마리나 자산의 소유자인 이 거래로 인해 제조 주택과 RV가 회사의 순영업이익의 약 90%를 차지하게 된다.
&#8220;이 거래는 선이 고수익성의 핵심 사업에 집중할 수 있도록 하여 지속적인 이익 흐름을 생산한다&#8221;고 선의 자본 배분위원회 의장 제프 블라우(Jeff Blau)가 말했다.
이 회사는 발표된 거래 이후 <a href="https://suncommunities.gcs-web.com/news-releases/news-release-details/sun-communities-reports-2024-fourth-quarter-and-full-year">4분기 재무 실적을 보고</a>했으며, FFO가 3개 분기 연속으로 애널리스트 예상치를 하회하고 매출은 예상치를 상회했다. 이 회사는 최근 10개 분기 중 8개 분기에서 애널리스트 매출 예상치를 상회했다.

포뮬러 1 레이싱 리그의 소유자는 이번 주 투자자들로부터 강한 관심을 받았다. 이 회사는 넷플릭스에서 3월 7일에 <a href="https://x.com/netflix/status/1895504704488030389">F1: 본능의 질주</a> 시즌 7의 출시와 3월 14일에 새로운 2025 시즌의 시작 등 여러 가지 다가오는 촉매를 보유하고 있다. 이 레이싱 리그는 ESPN과의 현재 계약 만료 후 미국 내 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43816739/netflix-wants-more-nfl-games-after-christmas-day-success-could-league-create-bidding-war-with-cbs-fox">미디어 권리</a>에 대한 관심을 끌고 있다. 새로운 미국 포뮬러 1 팀이 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/24/11/42178255/formula-1-stock-hits-52-week-high-announces-11th-team-with-general-motorsandretti-global-after-max-verstappens-fourth-straight-title">2026 시즌</a>에 참여할 예정이며, 이는 향후 몇 년 동안 글로벌 스포츠 브랜드에 대한 인식을 높일 수 있다. 넷플릭스 다큐멘터리 시리즈와 미국 경주 장소는 미국 내 시청률 및 인지도를 높이는 데 도움이 되었으며, 리그는 이러한 추세가 계속되기를 희망하고 있다.

큐리그 닥터페퍼 4분기 실적 발표 임박, 최근 애널리스트 의견 변동은?

후터스 오브 아메리카(Hooters of America)는 채권자들과 함께 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/bankruptcy">파산 구조 조정 계획</a>을 준비하고 있다.
이 유명한 BBQ 윙 체인은 롭스 앤 그레이(Ropes &amp; Gray)의 법률 전문가들을 영입하여 서류 작업을 준비 중이며, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-02-21/hooters-in-talks-to-prepare-a-bankruptcy-filing-in-coming-months?srnd=homepage-americas&amp;sref=TBDibEcD">블룸버그</a>에 따르면, 법원에서의 대결이 향후 두 달 이내에 시작될 수 있다.
크롭탑 유니폼과 윙크하는 올빼미 마스코트로 유명한 후터스는 부티크 회사인 아코디언 파트너스(Accordion Partners)의 도움을 받아 재정 문제를 해결하려고 하고 있다.
한편, 일부 채권자들은 훌리한 로키(Houlihan Lokey)를 영입하여 과정에 대해 조언을 받고 있다.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">파산 블록의 다른 사건은?</h2>
후터스만이 챕터 11 파산의 압박을 느끼고 있는 것은 아니다.
예를 들어, 지중해식 패스트 캐주얼 체인 로티(Rōti)는 최근 파산에서 벗어났다. <a href="https://www.chicagobusiness.com/restaurants/roti-sold-out-bankruptcy-edible-arrangements-founder">크레인의 시카고</a>에 따르면, 에더블 어레인지먼트(Edible Arrangements)의 설립자가 이끄는 사모펀드가 인수하기로 합의했다.
로티는 거래가 완료되면 19개 매장 중 17개 매장을 유지할 것이다.
이러한 파산 신청의 원인은 무엇일까? <a href="https://www.emarketer.com/content/dining-inflation-remains-higher-than-food-home--forcing-restaurants-compete-on-value">인플레이션</a>으로 인해 고객 수가 줄어들고, 공급망 문제와 급격한 금리 인상이 메뉴 가격을 상승시키기 때문이다. 결과적으로 더 많은 사람들이 집에서 요리하는 것을 선택하고 있다.
지난해, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38992673/the-craziest-parts-of-the-red-lobster-bankruptcy-story-revealed">레드 랍스터</a>와 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/m-a/24/11/41700829/deal-dispatch-tgi-fridays-goes-bankrupt-bhp-backtracks-comments-and-more-m-a-news">TGI 프라이데이</a>를 포함하여 12개 이상의 주요 레스토랑 그룹이나 프랜차이즈가 백기를 들고 파산 신청을 했다.

<li>패밀리 달러, 달러 트리(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DLTR#NASDAQ">DLTR</a>) 소속의 할인 소매점이 매물로 나왔다. 로이터에 따르면, 아폴로 글로벌 매니지먼트, 시카모어 파트너스(Sycamore Partners) 및 브리게이드 캐피털 매니지먼트(Brigade Capital Management) 등 여러 인수합병 회사들이 관심을 보이고 있다.</li>

밈 암호화폐인 도지코인(CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>)은 지난 한 주 동안 80% 이상 상승하며 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/41876486/dogecoin-explodes-for-86-weekly-gain-what-is-going-on" target="_blank" rel="noopener">52주 신고가를 경신</a>하는 등 가격과 가치가 급등하고 있다.
최근의 가치 상승으로 도지코인은 일부 유명 글로벌 기업의 가치를 넘어섰다.
무슨 일이 일어났을까?: 도지코인은 2013년 잭슨 팔머와 빌리 마커스가 비트코인(CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>)을 조롱하기 위한 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/23/11/36030223/if-you-invested-1-000-in-dogecoin-when-the-meme-coin-launched-heres-how-much-youd-have-now" target="_blank" rel="noopener">풍자적 코인</a>으로 만들었다.
현재 시가총액 기준으로 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/dogecoin-doge-price-prediction" target="_blank" rel="noopener">도지코인의 가치</a>는 477억 달러에서 1조 7,200억 달러로 비트코인을 뒤쫓고 있지만, 그 정도의 가치 상승은 결코 웃어넘길 수 있는 일이 아니다.
도지코인의 현재 시가총액 477억 달러는 <a href="https://companiesmarketcap.com/page/5/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">companiesmarketcap.com</a>에 따르면 전 세계에서 428째로 큰 규모다.
다음은 월요일 기준으로 도지코인보다 시가총액이 낮은 회사들이다.

지금까지 도지코인보다 가치가 낮은 15개 기업을 소개했다. 몇 년 전만 해도 장난으로 만든 암호화폐가 포드나 아디다스 같은 회사보다 더 큰 기업이 될 것이라고는 상상도 못했지만, 이제는 현실이 되었다.

다음 단계는?: 암호화폐 부문은 2024년 선거 이후 가치와 관심이 급증하고 있으며, 도지코인은 유일하게 상승한 암호화폐가 아니다.
비트코인은 월요일에 사상 최고치를 경신했으며 현재 88,000달러 이상에서 거래되고 있다.
도지코인은 월요일에 0.3278달러로 1년 만에 최고치를 기록했으며 현재 0.3251달러에 거래되고 있다. 지난 7일 동안 암호화폐가 100% 이상 상승했지만, 도지코인은 2021년 5월에 세운 사상 최고가보다 낮은 가격에 거래되는 중이다.
도지코인의 현재 사상 최고가는 0.7376달러로, 이는 일론 머스크가 &#8216;새터데이 나이트 라이브&#8217; 에피소드에 출연해 밈 암호화폐에 대해 여러 차례 언급했던 당일에 도달한 수준이다.
한편 머스크가 도널드 트럼프 대통령 당선인의 정부효율성부(D.O.G.E.)를 맡게 되면서 도지코인에 대한 관심이 높아졌다.
