A call to &#8220;The Dave Ramsey Show&#8221; took an unexpected turn when Jean, a 70-year-old woman from Lexington, Kentucky, called in for financial advice. She explained that she was set to inherit $175,000 and wanted to keep it private from her husband of over 50 years. Her goal was to ensure the money went to her children and was available if her elderly mother needed care.
Dave Ramsey, known for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/02/43741282/dave-ramsey-says-parents-shouldnt-buy-their-teenagers-cars-it-creates-ridiculous-expectations-for-life">giving honest advice</a>, quickly asked why she felt she had to hide the money and keep such a big secret. As the conversation unfolded, it became clear that Jean's marriage had been dysfunctional for decades. She described a long-standing lack of respect from her husband toward her family, leading her to believe he would try to control the inheritance if he found out about it.

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Dave's Take</h2>
Dave didn't hesitate to tell Jean that hiding things from a spouse is not healthy. He acknowledged that while she had every legal right to manage the money independently, deception was not the way to go.&nbsp;
"I don't think it's healthy for you, and I don't think it's healthy for him," he said.
He pointed out that the real issue wasn't just the inheritance—it was the quality of her marriage. The fact that she didn't feel safe sharing this information was a red flag. "This isn't just a precarious relationship. This is a horrible relationship," Dave said.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Protecting Her Money Without Hiding It</h2>
While Dave refused to encourage deception, he did offer Jean sound legal advice. He suggested she <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/03/37593532/estate-planning-why-you-may-want-to-consider-a-trust-instead-of-a-will">create a trust</a> and a will to make sure her children got the money. He also recommended talking to an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/03/37593532/estate-planning-why-you-may-want-to-consider-a-trust-instead-of-a-will">estate planning attorney</a> to make sure everything was done properly.
"If you do what I'm talking about," Dave assured her, "he has absolutely no access to the money unless you give it to him."
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Small Compromises Create Big Problems</h2>
Beyond the financial advice, Dave and his co-host dug into a deeper issue—how Jean ended up in such an unhealthy relationship after 50 years. They emphasized that major life problems don't appear overnight. They result from small compromises, lack of communication, and avoiding difficult conversations for years.

By degrees, people allow bad situations to grow until one day, they find themselves stuck, feeling powerless. This applies not only to relationships but also to finances, careers, and personal growth. You don't just wake up in a bad place—it happens little by little when you stop being intentional.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Face Issues Head-On</h2>
Jean's story serves as a cautionary tale for anyone avoiding difficult conversations. Whether it's about money, marriage, or personal growth, ignoring problems won't make them disappear—it only makes them worse.
Dave encouraged Jean to seek counseling, talk to her pastor, and get support from people who could help her make real changes. The inheritance might have sparked the call, but the real issue was much deeper.

If You Do What I'm Talking About…'—Dave Ramsey Reacts To A Caller Who Wants To Hide Inheritance From Her Husband Of 50 Years

The Trump administration plans to overhaul food assistance programs, with the new Department of Agriculture leadership promising to fix what they call Biden-era &#8220;financial mismanagement&#8221; of food benefits.
Kailee Buller, the new USDA chief of staff, accused former department Secretary Tom Vilsack of putting politics over commonsense in managing the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. "Make no mistake, Secretary Vilsack and Deputy Under Secretary Stacy Dean put politics over commonsense, ignoring scores of USDA financial analysts and policy experts," Buller <a href="https://www.fns.usda.gov/newsroom/usda-0020.25">said in a statement</a>. "The Trump Administration will immediately correct this egregious action, making certain material weaknesses like this do not happen again."

<li>The average American couple has saved this much money for retirement —<a href="http://www.benzinga.com/money/smartasset"> How do you compare</a>?</li>
</ul>
However, Buller did not provide specifics on a General Accounting Office review findings or how the administration intends to fix the alleged mismanagement.
The criticism comes as House Republicans propose $230 billion in cuts across USDA programs. The reductions would likely decrease current benefit levels, not just expand work requirements, <a href="https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2025/02/12/congress/house-gop-budget-targets-snap-cuts-00203872">according to Politico</a>.
<a href="http://www.ers.usda.gov/topics/food-nutrition-assistance/supplemental-nutrition-assistance-program-snap#:~:text=SNAP%20is%20the%20Nation's%20largest,Federal%20cost%20of%20%24112.8%20billion.">According to the USDA</a>, SNAP served an average of 42.1 million Americans monthly in fiscal year 2023, accounting for about 68% of USDA nutrition spending. Nearly 40% of recipients in 2022 were children, with 11.6% under age 5 and 28% between ages 5 and 17. The program provides critical food benefits to supplement the grocery budgets of low-income families.

The Biden administration had increased benefits by updating the Thrifty Food Plan to reflect current food prices and dietary guidance, <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/trump-administration-announces-plans-snap-benefit-reform-2030452">according to Newsweek</a>. Republican lawmakers opposed the move, with House Agriculture Committee Chair Glenn Thompson (R-PA) attempting to restrict USDA&#8217;s authority to revise the plan in his proposed 2024 Farm Bill.
&#8220;This is not about &#8216;cutting waste, fraud, and abuse.&#8217; It&#8217;s about slashing benefits for working-class Americans to pay for tax breaks for the ultra-rich,&#8221; <a href="https://x.com/RoKhanna/status/1889824185251160172">Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) posted on X</a>. Experts at the Center for American Progress warn that the Republican-controlled Congress will likely target the critical food aid program.

The proposed cuts face resistance from some Republicans in competitive districts concerned about impacts on low-income families ahead of 2026 midterms. States with the highest percentage of SNAP recipients in 2023 included Oregon, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Illinois, West Virginia, and Washington, D.C.
The department faces additional changes under Trump. On Monday, it terminated 18 contracts totaling $9 million as part of Elon Musk&#8216;s government efficiency initiatives, while reportedly removing climate change references from its website. The USDA has also seen climate program funding slashed.

SNAP Benefits In Focus: Trump Admin Targets Biden's Food Assistance Policies

A simple pizza delivery turned into an incredible story of generosity after a 20-year-old driver braved a snowstorm to deliver an order—only to get a measly $2.15 tip from a customer in an affluent neighborhood.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The $2 Tip That Started It All</h2>
On Jan. 11, Lt. Richard Craig—known as Officer Craig on TikTok—was on duty in Brownsburg, Indiana, when he spotted Connor Stephanoff trekking through the snow in sneakers and sweatpants, carrying a pizza. Curious about his situation, Craig asked how much he got tipped.
"Two dollars," Stephanoff answered. Craig was floored. "Man, cold-blooded! Two dollars!" he exclaimed in disbelief.

</ul>
Realizing the harsh conditions Stephanoff was working in, Craig gave him $15 of his own money and posted the encounter on TikTok. The <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@officercraig/video/7458528700187839775">video</a>, showing Stephanoff trudging through deep snow after parking his car nearly half a mile away, quickly went viral, racking up thousands of views and comments from outraged viewers.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Turning Frustration Into Action</h2>
Craig couldn't shake the unfairness of the situation, so he launched a <a href="https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-rockstar-pizza-drivers-dedication">GoFundMe campaign</a> on Jan. 12 titled "Support Rockstar Pizza Driver's Dedication." He initially hoped to raise just $500 to reward Stephanoff's dedication.
"I would LOVE to raise at least $500 for this guy!" Craig wrote in the fundraiser description, praising Stephanoff's work ethic and commitment despite the harsh conditions.
But the internet had bigger plans.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Over $45K Raised in Weeks</h2>
In just over a month, donations exploded past $45,000, with more than 2,100 people chipping in. The highest donation—$1,500 from an anonymous donor—was just one example of how much support Stephanoff received from strangers who were touched by his story.
Comments flooded in, with one donor writing: "This story made my day! Keep working hard, pizza delivery guy! You're the kind of person that makes this world go ‘round." Others shared their own experiences as former delivery drivers, emphasizing how rare such dedication is these days. &#8220;I'm gonna do what that pizza customer should have done that day. Props to you for keeping cool regardless of their horrible treatment. Never stop being the amazing person that you are. I see you.&#8221;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Life-Changing Outcome</h2>
Stephanoff, who borrows his grandmother's car to make deliveries, <a href="http://today.com/">told Today.com</a> that he now plans to use the funds to buy his own car, help his grandmother with bills, and, if there's anything left, pursue a college degree in history or business.
Reflecting on the unexpected generosity, he said, "Oh, this is real!" when he saw the donations rolling in. Meanwhile, Craig summed up the entire experience with a simple truth: "Good things come to good people who do the right thing."

'Man, Cold-Blooded! Two Dollars!' — Officer Steps Up And Crowdfunds $45K For Pizza Driver Who Got A Shockingly Low Tip In Snowstorm

Gerber Kawasaki Wealth &amp; Investment Management CEO Ross Gerber, a Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) shareholder, anticipates a 50% plummet in the stock&#8217;s price this year.
What Happened: Gerber had earlier offloaded approximately $60 million worth of Tesla shares, citing concerns over the company&#8217;s dwindling popularity. 
Despite a brief spike following the 2024 election, Tesla&#8217;s shares have witnessed a 16% decline this year and have fallen 4% since Gerber&#8217;s remarks in December.
In his conversation <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/tesla-stock-price-2025-outlook-crash-elon-musks-gerber-tsla-2025-2">with</a> Insider, Gerber detailed four reasons behind his pessimistic forecast for Tesla. He expressed skepticism over Elon Musk&#8216;s ambitious goal of rolling out an autonomous taxi network in Austin, Texas, by June.
&#8220;All of this stuff is going to come to roost this year because he put this deadline on full self driving working in a couple months. It almost seems impossible for that to happen,&#8221; Gerber told the outlet.

He also voiced concerns about Tesla&#8217;s self-driving platform, which depends on cameras rather than LIDAR sensors.
Gerber also indicated that Musk&#8217;s emphasis on AI could prove harmful to Tesla. He suggested that Tesla&#8217;s primary business of car sales is slowing down due to rising competition from BYD, the world&#8217;s largest EV manufacturer based in China. 
&#8220;His 100% focus is on AI, and that&#8217;s really a detriment to Tesla more than it&#8217;s a plus for xAI and all the other businesses because he doesn&#8217;t work at Tesla anymore,&#8221; Gerber said. &#8220;If he were putting all of his time into full self-driving, I&#8217;d feel a lot more confident about Tesla.&#8221;
He also underscored the potential backlash Tesla may face owing to Musk&#8217;s close ties with President Donald Trump.
&#8220;What this does is it creates this anger. I&#8217;ve never seen this anger towards Tesla, but it&#8217;s not toward Tesla as the company, it&#8217;s because of Elon, this is the only way people can take it out,&#8221; Gerber added.
Gerber&#8217;s bearish perspective is echoed by several prominent Wall Street firms, including JPMorgan, which has set&nbsp;a $135 price target for&nbsp;Tesla stock, indicating a potential 60% downside from its current levels.
Why It Matters: Gerber&#8217;s prediction comes at a time when Tesla&#8217;s stock performance has been under scrutiny. The company&#8217;s shares have been on a downward trajectory this year, and Gerber&#8217;s comments add to the growing concerns about Tesla&#8217;s future prospects. 
His concerns about Tesla&#8217;s autonomous driving platform and the potential backlash due to Musk&#8217;s association with President Trump underscore the challenges that Tesla may face in the coming years.

Former Tesla Booster Now Warns Stock Faces Major Pain in 2025

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) has reportedly withdrawn its most secure cloud storage service, Advanced Data Protection (ADP), from the UK after the British government <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/02/43554574/apple-faces-mounting-pressure-from-uk-government-to-grant-spying-access-to-encrypted-data-of-users-worldwide" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">demanded secret access to user data</a>.
The decision follows an order under the UK&#8217;s Investigatory Powers Act, which would have required Apple to provide a &#8220;backdoor&#8221; to iPhone backups and cloud data, enabling law enforcement to access information otherwise protected by encryption, The Financial Times reports.
The company stated that it could no longer offer ADP to new UK users, and current users would eventually be forced to disable the feature, the report further noted, citing a statement from Apple.
Since the service was introduced in December 2022, British Apple users had to opt in to benefit from the advanced security.

As of February 2025, attempts to activate ADP in the UK have now resulted in an error message.
The British government&#8217;s request to access encrypted data through a &#8220;backdoor&#8221; has drawn criticism, with experts warning it would undermine online privacy and security for UK users, BBC reports.
Prof Alan Woodward, a cybersecurity expert, called the move an &#8220;act of self-harm,&#8221; as BBC dds, while online privacy advocate Caro Robson labeled it as an unprecedented step for a company to pull a product rather than comply with a government directive.
This development highlights the tension between national security demands and digital privacy rights, raising concerns over the global impact of such policies on technology companies.

John Legend & Chrissy Teigen Plan To Quit LA For New York After Wildfires. They Can Take Their Pick With $100 Million Fortune

The Supreme Court has rejected a plea by President Donald Trump for an immediate dismissal of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/02/43758634/mary-trump-warns-dni-gabbard-could-lead-to-catastrophic-outcome-a-known-russian-asset-defender-of-murderous-dictator-assad">Office of Special Counsel chief Hampton Dellinger</a>.
What Happened: The Supreme Court has denied Trump&#8217;s appeal to immediately fire Dellinger, who is responsible for protecting government whistleblowers. This decision allows Dellinger to maintain his position for a few more days.
A report <a href="https://www.mediaite.com/news/denied-trump-emergency-appeal-to-fire-watchdog-immediately-rejected-in-unsigned-supreme-court-order/">by</a> Mediaite says Trump had dismissed Dellinger via a direct email two weeks ago. However, U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson quickly ordered his reinstatement following a lawsuit filed by Dellinger.
Last Friday, the Supreme Court upheld Judge Jackson&#8217;s Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) against Trump&#8217;s motion to vacate the order. The unsigned order was based on the fact that the TRO is due to expire in a few days.

The order also pointed out that while the&nbsp;Court typically does not have&nbsp;appellate jurisdiction over TROs, the&nbsp;Government urged it to interpret&nbsp;the TRO as a preliminary&nbsp;injunction or to exercise jurisdiction&nbsp;under the All Writs Act&nbsp;due to the restrained core executive power.
Justices Neil Gorsuch and Samuel Alito dissented.
Why It Matters: This decision is significant as it highlights the ongoing legal battles involving the former president. The Supreme Court&#8217;s decision to uphold the TRO against Trump&#8217;s motion to vacate the order underscores the judiciary&#8217;s role in checking executive power. 
The case also brings to light the importance of the Office of Special Counsel in safeguarding government whistleblowers, a role that has been under scrutiny during Trump&#8217;s presidency. 
The decision to allow Dellinger to retain his position, albeit temporarily, is a testament to the checks and balances inherent in the U.S. legal system.

Trump's Bid To Remove Watchdog Denied By Supreme Court — What's Behind His Urgency?

President Donald Trump has expressed confidence in his ability to persuade Russian President Vladimir Putin to release thousands of Ukrainian children who have been kidnapped amid the ongoing conflict.
What Happened: Trump voiced his belief during a conversation with&nbsp;Fox News <a href="https://radio.foxnews.com/2025/02/21/president-donald-trump-on-his-frustration-with-zelenskyy/">Radio</a>. He said, &#8220;I&nbsp;believe I could, yes. I&nbsp;didn't know too much about&nbsp;it. I&nbsp;was hearing about it yesterday.&nbsp;It's pretty tough stuff, but&nbsp;I believe I could do&nbsp;that.&#8221;
The pro-Kyiv non-profit&nbsp;Razom for Ukraine&nbsp;has reported that Russian forces have kidnapped&nbsp;19,546 Ukrainian children since 2022.&nbsp;The United Nations Commission of&nbsp;Inquiry on Ukraine stated in 2023 that the majority of these children were taken from Russian-controlled territories in eastern Ukraine and moved further into Russia.
Some of these children were granted Russian citizenship and put into foster care, while others have&nbsp;lost all contact with their&nbsp;biological families. Parents have reported to&nbsp;the UN commission that their&nbsp;children are being subjected to mistreatment, including physical abuse and being forced to wear unclean clothes.

According to the report <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/02/21/us-news/trump-i-believe-i-could-convince-putin-to-free-thousands-of-kidnapped-ukrainian-kids/">by </a>New York Post, the commission has termed Russia&#8217;s child deportation practices as a &#8220;war crime&#8221; and a breach of international humanitarian law, calling on&nbsp;Moscow to release all Ukrainian&nbsp;deportees and detainees.
While some children have been returned to Ukraine through successful charity operations, thousands still remain in enemy territory.&nbsp;Mykola Murskyj, advocacy director of&nbsp;Razom for Ukraine, underscored the seriousness of the situation, stating, &#8220;Trafficking&nbsp;children goes against everything we&nbsp;stand for as America. We&nbsp;cannot and must not falter&nbsp;in our fight against evil.&#8221;
Why It Matters: This development comes amidst a backdrop of escalating tensions and ongoing conflict in Europe. The kidnapping and mistreatment of Ukrainian children by Russian forces has been a significant point of contention, with international bodies and non-profits alike condemning the actions as war crimes. 
Trump&#8217;s assertion that he could influence Putin to release these children, if true, could potentially lead to a significant breakthrough in this humanitarian crisis. 
However, the actual feasibility and potential implications of such an intervention remain to be seen.

Trump Says He Could Influence Putin To Free Kidnapped Ukrainian Children: 'It's Pretty Tough Stuff, But I Believe I Could Do That'

Billionaire entrepreneur Mark Cuban is raising the alarm about a brewing battle that he believes will reshape the future of power in the U.S. In a series of recent Bluesky <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/mcuban.bsky.social/post/3liaw4s65c22z">posts</a>, Cuban predicted that the biggest showdown yet will be between Elon Musk and Donald Trump, with AI at the center of the fight.
According to Cuban, AI is quickly becoming the most powerful tool in the world, rivaling even military strength. He believes that the next U.S. president must be technologically competent to keep the country competitive, especially as AI continues to evolve.

</ul>
Cuban envisions Musk pushing AI-driven automation in ways that directly conflict with Trump's desire to control certain aspects of governance. "Elon will try to implement AI in a manner that automates much of what Trump is now trying to control. Trump will have no understanding of what is going on and will have to turn to the AI oligarchs to support him in this battle," Cuban <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/mcuban.bsky.social/post/3liay2ghdec2o">warned</a>.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Battle of Business and Politics</h2>
Cuban doesn't just see this as a political fight—he believes it will be the greatest business battle in history. If Musk ever attempts to integrate AI into federal processes, a war between AI companies will erupt over which firms secure government contracts. "The battle will be fought over which company's AI will be used by the feds. This is a zero-sum battle that will create more chaos than this country has ever seen," he said.

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>
Apparently, trillions of dollars are at stake. Cuban <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/mcuban.bsky.social/post/3liaw4s6e4s2z">noted</a> that major tech companies—Meta (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), Google (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>), Amazon (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), Microsoft (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), OpenAI, Anthropic, and Musk's ventures—are all vying for control. "This is a zero-sum game and the exact reason <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/43056464/giving-millions-and-kissing-the-ring-when-trillions-are-at-stake-is-nothing-says-mark-cuban-explaining-why-big-tech-supports-trump">every tech bro has kissed the ring</a>. We are talking tens of TRILLIONS IN MARKET CAP."
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">AI's Unpredictable Future</h2>
Cuban has long expressed concerns about <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/11/42235738/in-just-16-months-elon-musk-achieved-with-xai-what-took-openai-nearly-nine-years-to-accomplish">AI's rapid development</a>, saying that unlike past technological revolutions, it's nearly impossible to predict where AI will take us. "I've <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/24/10/41234173/how-mark-cuban-turned-broadcast-com-into-5-7b-sale-we-were-the-youtube-of-our-day">been in technology for a long time</a>, and you can always look at a new tech, PCs, networks, the internet, streaming, whatever, and say, ‘OK, in five years, this is what's going to happen, right,' and have a good sense. With AI, you can't do that," <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/08/40431659/mark-cuban-says-everybodys-chasing-power-and-nothing-will-give-you-more-power-than-military-and-ai">he explained</a>.
Despite the uncertainty, Cuban is certain that the U.S. is the leader in AI development and must hold onto that advantage. Countries are now competing not just for better technology but for control over algorithms, which shape public opinion and decision-making. "If you want to influence somebody, just manipulate the algorithm, and you'll get their attention," he said.

'Biggest Cage Match Ever'—Mark Cuban Warns Of A Coming Clash, Says Musk's AI Implementation Will Directly Challenge Trump's Grip On Control

Americans&#8217; confidence in the economy remains in solidly negative territory as Gallup&#8217;s Economic Confidence Index (ECI) holds <a href="https://news.gallup.com/poll/657044/economic-confidence-index-steady-february.aspx" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">steady </a>at -19 <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/25/02/43827291/exclusive-will-trumps-tariffs-hurt-or-help-stock-market-59-say-this" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">for February, the same as January</a>.
This index measures both public evaluations of current economic conditions and their outlook on the economy&#8217;s future.
The February survey reveals a shift in how Americans view the current state of the economy.
While 20% still consider it &#8220;excellent&#8221; or &#8220;good,&#8221; this is down from 26% in January.
On the flip side, the number of people labeling the economy as &#8220;poor&#8221; dropped from 40% to 33%, with a notable increase in those describing conditions as &#8220;only fair,&#8221; which now stands at 45%, up from 33% last month.
Meanwhile, according to the University of Michigan&#8217;s monthly consumer <a href="http://www.sca.isr.umich.edu/">survey</a>, consumer confidence took a significant dip in February, marking a nearly 10% decline from January.

The Consumer Sentiment Index fell from 71.7 in January to 64.7 in February.
This sharp decrease is largely attributed to consumer concerns over tariff hikes and their potential impact on inflation, The Hill <a target="_blank" href="https://thehill.com/business/5157665-consumer-confidence-dips-in-trumps-first-month-as-tariff-threats-drive-inflation-fears/" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>.
In early February, President Donald Trump approved a 25% tariff on imports from Mexico and Canada, which were eventually delayed after both countries took steps to curb the flow of drugs at their borders.
Additionally, Trump imposed a 10% tariff on Chinese imports, raised aluminum tariffs to 25%, and reinstated the full power of steel tariffs. These actions sparked worries about rising inflation, with inflation expectations for the next year jumping from 3.3% to 4.3%, while long-term inflation expectations increased from 3.2% to 3.5%.
Alongside the rise in inflation expectations, the consumer price index also showed an uptick, rising 3% year-over-year in January, up from 2.9% in December.
This marked the fourth consecutive month of inflation growth, The Hill adds.
The survey also revealed a partisan split in consumer sentiment. Both Democrats and independents saw a decline in sentiment, while Republicans&#8217; views remained largely unchanged.
Similarly, inflation expectations rose among Democrats and independents but fell slightly for Republicans.
In a recent <a target="_blank" href="https://emersoncollegepolling.com/february-2025-national-poll-trump-presidential-approval-at-48-musk-doge-job-approval-at-41/" rel="noreferrer noopener">poll </a>by Emerson College, Trump&#8217;s approval rating stood at 48%, with <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43847433/trump-approval-rating-declines-in-february-unpopular-domestic-and-foreign-policy-ideas" rel="noreferrer noopener">42% disapproving of his performance</a>.
Despite strong approval for his election win in January, his recent tariff decisions and exploration of territorial expansion have seen a decrease in support, particularly concerning their potential impact on the stock market.
This shift in consumer sentiment highlights growing concerns over economic policies and inflation.

Is Trump Tariff Chaos Worrying Americans? Consumer Confidence Dips Amid Rising Inflation

North Korea&#8217;s infamous Lazarus Group is suspected to be the mastermind behind the $1.4 billion Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) hack on cryptocurrency exchange Bybit, as per findings from blockchain data platform Arkham Intelligence.
What Happened:&nbsp;According to the report, Lazarus Group, a state-sponsored hacking organization from North Korea, is believed to have pilfered&nbsp;over $1.4 billion worth of&nbsp;Ethereum and related tokens from Bybit last Friday. 
This suspicion was drawn from on-chain data analysis that linked the activity to previous attacks associated with the Lazarus Group.
The link was established by an anonymous on-chain investigator known as ZachXBT, who has a history of solving numerous crypto hacks. His report included a detailed analysis of test transactions, connected wallets used before the exploit, and several forensic graphs and timing analyses, reports <a href="https://decrypt.co/307304/north-korea-lazarus-group-bybit-hack-arkham">reports</a> Decrypt.
Arkham Intelligence&nbsp;had previously announced a bounty of nearly $30,000 in ARKM tokens for information leading to the identification of the hackers behind the massive Bybit hack. The hack not only impacted Bybit but also sent shockwaves through the crypto markets.

The Lazarus Group, a collective of&nbsp;North Korean state-sponsored crypto hackers,&nbsp;is considered one&nbsp;of the most sophisticated on-chain&nbsp;operators globally.

Last year, they reportedly stole&nbsp;over $1.3 billion from various&nbsp;projects, accounting for 61% of all illicitly obtained crypto&nbsp;in 2024, according to Chainalysis.
Currently, the specifics of the recent hack, the&nbsp;largest in crypto history based&nbsp;on asset prices at the&nbsp;time of the incident, remain unclear. 
Bybit claimed that the exploit involved a &#8220;sophisticated attack&#8221;&nbsp;that masked the signing interface&nbsp;of a multi-signature transaction, making&nbsp;a hacker-controlled wallet appear as&nbsp;the intended recipient address.
Why It Matters: The magnitude of this hack underscores the growing threat of state-sponsored cybercrime in the crypto space. The Lazarus Group&#8217;s suspected involvement highlights the sophistication and scale of such operations. 
This incident serves as a stark reminder of the security vulnerabilities inherent in the crypto market and the need for robust security measures to protect against such sophisticated attacks.

Buyer's remorse frequently accompanies large purchases, particularly if you don't have the financial means to make that purchase. Personal finance expert <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/01/43086362/retiring-with-zero-money-and-a-nice-paid-for-house-is-not-a-plan-dave-ramsey-tells-59-year-old-with-no-retirement-savings">Dave Ramsey</a> stands by a simple rule to determine whether an abnormal purchase or charitable donation is too much.&nbsp;
"We use the burn the money in the middle of the floor thing," Ramsey said on The Ramsey Show. "If I took this much money and set fire to it, does my life change? If the answer is yes, then it&#8217;s too expensive."

</ul>
It's no secret that Ramsey is a fan of budgeting. He consistently emphasizes the importance of this exercise, especially when it comes to making large purchases. In a recent <a href="https://www.facebook.com/reel/1005173921662454">Facebook post</a>, he wrote, &#8220;There&#8217;s nothing wrong with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/02/43443687/dave-ramsey-says-if-you-want-to-waste-5000-a-year-spend-13-70-a-day-on-things-you-dont-need">spending money</a> on things you enjoy &#8211; just make sure you&#8217;ve planned for it! That plan is called a budget.&#8221;&nbsp;
By mapping out expenses ahead of time, individuals can ensure they are spending within their means and not jeopardizing their <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/02/43499935/worldwide-57-expect-the-next-generation-to-be-worse-off-financially-what-drives-this-economic-pessimism">financial stability</a>.
Many Americans struggle with buyer's remorse, often due to impulse purchases or unnecessary spending. A <a href="https://www.ipsos.com/en-us/many-americans-have-experienced-buyers-remorse">2023 Google/Ipsos poll</a> found that:
<ul>
<li>Roughly two in five Americans (42%) have bought something on sale only to later regret it.</li>
<li>The primary reason for regretting a purchase is realizing they didn't need the item (62%).</li>
<li>Impulse purchasing (42%) and already owning too many things (34%) are also common causes of regret.</li>
</ul>
Trending: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mark-cubans-advice-for-lotto-winners">Many are surprised by Mark Cuban's advice for lotto winners: Cash or annuity?</a>
In the poll, respondents were asked about tips to avoid buyer's remorse. Over half of Americans (53%) believe that one way to combat regret is by price comparing across retailers. Comparatively, 47% agree that adequate research for products can help alleviate buyer's remorse.&nbsp;
Ramsey's approach aligns with this mindset—by evaluating the true impact of a purchase or donation, individuals can avoid spending decisions they may later regret.
While Ramsey advocates for financial discipline, he also acknowledges the importance of allowing some discretionary spending. In <a href="https://www.ramseysolutions.com/budgeting/fun-money-in-budget">an article</a> on Ramsey Solutions, they explained that budgeting for &#8220;fun money&#8221; ensures people can enjoy occasional indulgences without derailing their financial goals.&nbsp;
"We talk a lot about goals and how they need to be the perfect balance of empowering and realistic," Ramsey Solutions wrote. "Fun money helps you with the realistic side because it lets you stick to your goals and have a treat every now and then. Fun money also helps you remember a budget isn't all about restrictions."

The key is to set a fixed amount and stick to it—once the fun money is spent, it's gone. This helps maintain financial balance while still allowing for small luxuries.
Charitable giving is also an important value for many, including Ramsey, but he advises people to ensure their generosity aligns with their financial situation. If giving away a certain amount would create financial strain, it may be too much. Instead, he recommends planning for generosity within a budget, just as one would for other expenses.
Ramsey's approach to evaluating major purchases and donations is rooted in financial responsibility and intentionality. By using a budget, planning ahead, and considering the impact of an expense, individuals can make confident financial choices without experiencing regret. For those looking to apply Ramsey's principles, his straightforward test serves as a practical guide: if losing the money would negatively impact your <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/02/36960367/average-person-believes-financial-happiness-comes-with-a-1-2-million-price-tag-revealing-money-c">financial well-being</a>, it's likely too much to spend.

How Does Dave Ramsey Determine If An Abnormal Purchase Or Charitable Donation Is Too Much?

Investor and author Robert Kiyosaki, has predicted a &#8220;giant crash&#8221; in the market. Despite this, he is confident that Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/02/43423389/robert-kiyosaki-predicts-gold-silver-bitcoin-crash-over-trumps-tariffs-says-its-a-buying-moment">will be the first to recover</a>.
What Happened: In a post on X on Friday, Kiyosaki anticipates a significant market crash that will impact all major assets, including&nbsp;stocks, bonds, real estate, gold,&nbsp;silver, and Bitcoin. However, he strongly believes in Bitcoin&#8217;s resilience, asserting that it&nbsp;will be the fastest to&nbsp;recover and hit new highs.
In the post Kiyosaki revealed his post-crash strategy on buying more Bitcoin. He said, despite the impending crash, he has no plans to sell his &#8220;digital gold.&#8221; Instead, he intends to &#8220;back up the truck and&nbsp;buy more&#8221; if Bitcoin&#8217;s price plummets.

Kiyosaki&#8217;s confidence in Bitcoin is apparent in his social media posts. Earlier this month, he encouraged his followers to start accumulating gold, silver, and Bitcoin, while criticizing the U.S. dollar as &#8220;fake.&#8221;

He argues that owning gold and Bitcoin is a smarter and safer strategy than saving dollars.
As of the time of writing, Bitcoin has rebounded by 1.65% in the past 24 hours, moving from $96,870 to $98,540.
Why It Matters: Kiyosaki&#8217;s prediction comes at a time when Bitcoin&#8217;s volatility has been a cause for concern among investors. 
His faith in Bitcoin&#8217;s resilience and potential for recovery, however, could bolster confidence among other investors. His strategy of buying more Bitcoin in the event of a crash could also influence others to consider similar strategies. 
Despite the potential risks, Kiyosaki&#8217;s stance underscores the growing acceptance of Bitcoin as a viable investment asset.

Robert Kiyosaki Says 'Everything Bubble' Will Cause Historic Market Crash, Bitcoin Will Be Fastest To Recover

Bernie Sanders (I-VT) has a warning for workers across America: If Elon Musk can fire hundreds of thousands of federal employees without cause, private sector workers could be next.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Billionaire Power and Its Consequences</h2>
In a recent <a href="https://x.com/BernieSanders/status/1890894754423910412">post on X</a>, Sanders put it bluntly: &#8220;Today, it's federal workers. Tomorrow, it's &#x2A;your&#x2A; job. That's what oligarchy is about.&#8221;
Sanders has long criticized the growing influence of billionaires in politics and the economy, but he says Musk has made it clearer than ever. In an <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Txe2Zu3QbNU">interview</a> with Brian Tyler Cohen, Sanders argued that Musk's power goes beyond business—he's now shaping government itself.

</ul>
&#8220;Everybody has got to understand this is the wealthiest guy in the world right now, worth over $400 billion,&#8221; Sanders said. &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/02/43582376/not-a-bad-return-on-his-investment-bernie-sanders-says-elon-musk-spent-277-million-to-elect-trump-and-made-154-billion-since-election-day">Musk put over $270 million</a> into Trump&#8217;s campaign and guess what? He's now the most important person in government. What does that sound like to you? Does that sound like a democracy&#8230; or is it really an oligarchy doing the bidding of the very richest people?&#8221;
Sanders pointed to Trump's budget priorities, which include massive tax cuts for the wealthy while <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/02/43718712/floridas-medicaid-disaster-1-3-million-cut-from-coverage-one-of-the-highest-disenrollment-rates-in-the-u-s">slashing programs like Medicaid</a>, student aid, and other critical support for working families. He sees it as part of a larger strategy where billionaires get richer while everyday Americans struggle.
&#8220;The end goal of oligarchy is to make the richest people who are already phenomenally rich even richer,&#8221; Sanders explained. &#8220;How do you do that? You give them <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43774882/donald-trumps-tax-cut-could-add-46-trillion-to-deficit-says-robert-reich-emphasizing-48-billion-relief-for-top-100-us-firms-via-corporate-tax-cuts">massive tax breaks</a>.

Trending: The average American couple has saved this much money for retirement —<a href="http://www.benzinga.com/money/smartasset"> How do you compare</a>?
Musk's influence extends far beyond government decisions. Sanders argues that billionaires like Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Mark Zuckerberg <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/43072236/biden-warns-of-musk-bezos-zuckerberg-oligarchy-but-is-he-to-blame-mark-cuban-says-president-pushed-t">control not just politics</a> but also the media landscape. &#8220;They will use their enormous media operations they own to deflect attention away from the impact of their policies while they entertain us to death,&#8221; Sanders said in a <a href="https://x.com/BernieSanders/status/1889341118556274924">video</a> posted on X.
And for those who think these billionaires care about workers? Sanders doesn't buy it. &#8220;Do you think for one second that the oligarchs give a damn about working people? Trust me, they don't.&#8221;
He pointed to Musk's role in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/02/43781034/bill-gates-hopes-elon-musk-will-rethink-slashing-usaid-their-work-is-something-every-taxpayer-would-be-proud-of">dismantling the U.S. Agency for International Development</a>, a move that he says will leave thousands of people around the world without food and healthcare. &#8220;They will sacrifice, without hesitation, the well-being of working people to protect their interests.&#8221;

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>
So what's the solution? Sanders calls for unity among workers of all backgrounds—Black, white, Latino, urban, rural, young, old—to fight back against billionaire control. &#8220;The oligarchs' nightmare is that we will not allow ourselves to be divided up&#8230; and that we'll together have the courage to take them on.&#8221;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Mass Firings Shake Federal Workforce</h2>
Sanders' warning comes as the Trump administration, with Musk's influence, has begun a sweeping purge of federal employees. More than 9,500 workers across departments like Veterans Affairs, Agriculture, Interior, Health and Human Services, and Energy have been fired. Another <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/02/43801494/fork-in-the-road-75000-federal-workers-took-musks-offer-but-was-it-enough">75,000 have taken a buyout</a>, representing 3% of the 2.3 million civilian workforce. Many of the job cuts have targeted probationary employees with fewer protections.
The Trump administration claims these cuts are necessary to curb government waste, but Democrats argue they overstep Congress's authority on federal spending.

Bernie Sanders Warns: If Elon Musk Can Fire Hundreds Of Thousands Of Federal Employees, Imagine What He'll Do To Private Sector Workers

In his latest annual letter to shareholders, Warren Buffett celebrated 60 years of steering the ship at Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>). He also expressed confidence in the company&#8217;s future under the leadership of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/02/43769996/what-does-warren-buffett-know-that-we-dont-investors-are-paying-attention">chosen successor Greg Abel</a>.
What Happened: Buffett&#8217;s <a href="https://www.berkshirehathaway.com/letters/2024ltr.pdf">letter</a>, which was released on Saturday, chronicled the journey of Berkshire Hathaway from a floundering textile company to a powerful conglomerate. While he admitted to past errors, he assured shareholders that his choice of Abel as his successor was not one of them.
&#8220;Sometimes I've made mistakes in assessing the future economics of a business I've purchased for Berkshire – each a case of capital allocation gone wrong. That happens with both judgments about marketable equities – we view these as partial ownership of businesses – and the 100% acquisitions of companies. At other times, I've made mistakes when assessing the abilities or fidelity of the managers Berkshire is hiring. The fidelity disappointments can hurt beyond their financial impact, a pain that can approach that of a failed marriage,&#8221; Buffett wrote. 
&#8220;A decent batting average in personnel decisions is all that can be hoped for. The cardinal sin is delaying the correction of mistakes or what Charlie Munger called &#8216;thumb-sucking.&#8217; Problems, he would tell me, cannot be wished away. They require action, however uncomfortable that may be,&#8221; Buffett mentioned in the letter.

Buffett praised Abel for his knack for identifying significant investment opportunities. He also pointed out that Berkshire Hathaway now boasts a cash reserve of $334.201 billion, nearly twice the $167.6 billion it had a year ago. 
&#8220;At 94, it won't be long before Greg Abel replaces me as CEO and will be writing the annual letters. Greg shares the Berkshire creed that a "report" is what a Berkshire CEO annually owes to owners. And he also understands that if you start fooling your shareholders, you will soon believe your own baloney and be fooling yourself as well,&#8221; he wrote in the letter. 
"We are impartial in our choice of equity vehicles, investing in either variety based upon where we can best deploy your (and my family's) savings. Often, nothing looks compelling; very infrequently we find ourselves knee-deep in opportunities. Greg has vividly shown his ability to act at such times," Buffett added.
Despite recent challenges in finding major acquisitions, Buffett confirmed that he has no intention of offering a dividend. He also revealed that this year&#8217;s shareholder meeting in May will be shorter than usual, with Buffett and Berkshire&#8217;s two vice chairmen fielding&nbsp;questions from 8 a.m. until&nbsp;1 p.m.
Why It Matters: Buffett&#8217;s 60-year tenure at Berkshire Hathaway has seen the company transform into a global powerhouse. His endorsement of Abel as his successor is a testament to Abel&#8217;s capabilities and the company&#8217;s robust succession plan. 
The significant cash reserves and strategic investments underscore Berkshire Hathaway&#8217;s financial strength and its ability to seize investment opportunities. Despite the challenges in finding major acquisitions, Buffett&#8217;s decision not to offer a dividend reflects his confidence in the company&#8217;s growth prospects. 
The upcoming shareholder meeting will provide further insights into the company&#8217;s future direction under Abel&#8217;s leadership.

Buffett Reflects on 60 Years at Berkshire Helm: 'Cardinal Sin Is Delaying the Correction of Mistakes'

Big changes could be coming for government benefits. House Republicans just unveiled a budget plan that includes massive spending cuts—<a href="https://docs.house.gov/meetings/BU/BU00/20250213/117894/BILLS-119NAih.pdf">$880 billion</a> from Medicaid over the next decade.
Social Security? Safe. Medicare? Also safe. But Medicaid? Not so much.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Trump Draws The Line</h2>
President Donald Trump has been clear: No cuts to Social Security or Medicare. They're not touching it. But Medicaid? That's another story.
The House Budget Committee is looking to slash spending by $2 trillion. That includes deep Medicaid cuts, with some proposals pushing for over $2 trillion in reductions. The idea is to balance those cuts with $4.5 trillion in tax cuts.

</ul>
For millions of Americans, this could mean losing healthcare coverage. <a href="https://www.medicaid.gov/medicaid/program-information/medicaid-and-chip-enrollment-data/report-highlights/index.html">Over 72 million people</a> rely on Medicaid, including 7.25 million children enrolled in the Children's Health Insurance Program. In some states, <a href="https://www.kff.org/medicaid/issue-brief/10-things-to-know-about-medicaid/">over 30% of the population</a> depends on Medicaid for healthcare.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What Would These Cuts Look Like?</h2>
The budget draft calls for changes in how Medicaid is funded. Some Republicans want to lower Federal Medical Assistance Percentages—the amount the federal government pays to states for Medicaid. Others want per-capita spending caps, which could cut up to $900 billion in funding.
Trending: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mark-cubans-advice-for-lotto-winners">Many are surprised by Mark Cuban's advice for lotto winners: Cash or annuity?</a>
What does that mean? States would either have to cut Medicaid services or find another way to make up the shortfall. For many, that could mean fewer benefits, tougher eligibility requirements, or higher costs.
Critics argue that Medicaid isn't efficient. Some believe many recipients could get healthcare through work or other means. But research has shown that Medicaid expansions <a href="https://www.nber.org/papers/w26081">reduce rates of mortality,</a> <a href="https://www.kff.org/medicaid/report/the-effects-of-medicaid-expansion-under-the-aca-updated-findings-from-a-literature-review/#:~:text=Access%20to%20care%20and%20related%20measures%3A">improve access to care</a>, and even boost local economies.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What's Next?</h2>
The budget fight is just getting started. Senate Republicans, led by Lindsey Graham (R-SC), are working on <a href="https://www.budget.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/chairmans_mark_-_fy25_budget_resolution.pdf">their own budget plan</a>. That one focuses more on border security and defense spending.

Republicans hold a 53-47 majority in the Senate, meaning they could push through a budget with a simple majority vote. The House has a much tighter margin—218-215—so every vote will count.
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), is already throwing cold water on Graham's plan, telling reporters it was a "nonstarter," <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/medicaid-trump-republicans-house-budget-social-security-medicare-musk-doge-2025-2">Business Insider reported</a>. But the House and Senate need to agree on something if they want Trump to sign off.
For now, Social Security stays untouched. But Medicaid? It's on the chopping block, and millions of Americans could feel the impact soon.

Medicaid Faces $880 Billion Cuts — But Trump Says Social Security Is Safe

In a recent interview, billionaire investor Ray Dalio offered fresh insights on successful investing, emphasizing the importance of diversification and patience in investment strategies.
What Happened:&nbsp;Dalio, who boasts five decades of market experience, urged investors to diversify their portfolios&nbsp;by investing in 10 to&nbsp;15 "good, uncorrelated return streams&nbsp;that are risk balanced." 
He labeled this strategy as&nbsp;his "holy grail and mantra in investing," and assured that adhering to this mantra could result in substantial wealth.
Speaking <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ray-dalios-debt-warnings-big-economic-insights-for/id1749109417?i=1000685223078">with</a> Yahoo Finance, Dalio underscored the significance of patience in investment strategies, warning that the nature of loss necessitates investors to earn double the lost amount to recover.
"Everybody's thinking about what is the best debt. They don't realize that with diversification, the first three diversified, relatively uncorrelated assets will reduce the risk almost in half. That means you double your return-to-risk ratio," Dalio said. 
Dalio further advised investors to differentiate&nbsp;between an investment that has&nbsp;increased in value and one that has performed well, cautioning against the assumption that recent good returns indicate a better investment.

"The game is played on not getting out. The nature of loss [is], you lose 50%, you have to make 100% to get it back," he further added. 
"Get away from the notion that investments which have done well recently are better investments, rather than more expensive. You have to know the difference between an investment that has gone up a lot and done well. Don't assume that because it felt good recently and gave you good returns, it's a better investment," he said. 
Why It Matters: Dalio&#8217;s advice comes at a time when investors are seeking guidance in an increasingly volatile market. 
His emphasis on diversification and patience reflects his long-standing investment philosophy, which has guided Bridgewater Associates to become one of the world&#8217;s largest hedge funds. 
Dalio&#8217;s&nbsp;latest book, &#8220;How Countries Go&nbsp;Broke: Principles for Navigating the&nbsp;Big Debt Cycle, Where We&nbsp;Are Headed, and What We&nbsp;Should Do,&#8221; scheduled for release in September, is expected to provide further insights into his unique investment principles.

Ray Dalio's 'Holy Grail' Investment Strategy: Why 10-15 Diversified Investments Could Make You a Fortune

In the aftermath of a $1.4 billion Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) heist, cryptocurrency exchange Bybit has launched a recovery bounty program, offering a reward of up to 10% of the recovered funds to ethical cyber and network security experts who actively contribute to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/02/43890188/bybit-founder-says-14b-eth-hack-may-stem-from-safe-wallet-compromise">retrieving the stolen assets</a>.
This translates to a potential bounty of up to $140 million, making it one of the largest crypto recovery efforts in history.
"Within 24 hours of the event, we were overwhelmed with support from some of the best people and organizations in the industry, and we do not take it for granted. We have shared in a dark moment of crypto history, and we've proven we are better than the malicious actors," said Ben Zhou, co-founder and CEO of Bybit.
The security breach, confirmed by Zhou on Friday evening, resulted in 401,347 ETH ($1.12 billion), 90,376 stETH ($253 million), 15,000 cmETH ($44 million), and 8,000 mETH ($23 million) being stolen from Bybit's Ethereum cold wallet. 
The attack was initially suspected to have exploited Safe's multisig wallet infrastructure, misleading Bybit's team into signing a transaction that granted the attacker control over the cold wallet's smart contract logic.
&#8220;It was a normal URL. I double-checked. It was the Safe URL from the official Safe website,&#8221; Zhou explained in a live stream following the incident. 
&#8220;The hacker changed that transaction into upgrading or changing the Safe smart contract logic so that he gained control over the entire Ethereum cold wallet.&#8221;
Bybit has already received assistance from major exchanges including Binance and MEXC, which are helping monitor and prevent the stolen funds from being laundered. 
Zhou expressed gratitude for the industry&#8217;s response, saying, &#8220;Within 24 hours of the event, we were overwhelmed with support from some of the best people and organizations in the industry.&#8221;
Individuals or groups with expertise in blockchain forensics, security analysis, and fund recovery can participate in the bounty program by contacting Bybit via <a>bounty_program@bybit.com</a>.
Despite the scale of the attack, Bybit continues processing withdrawals, securing liquidity through a bridge loan covering 80% of the stolen Ethereum to ensure customers&#8217; funds remain safe. 
The company has also emphasized its commitment to improving security infrastructure and preventing similar incidents in the future.
Bybit's full forensic investigation is ongoing, working closely with law enforcement, cybersecurity experts, and Safe's development team to determine whether the attack stemmed from a Safe multisig vulnerability or a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/02/43886224/bybit-founder-confirms-1-4-billion-ethereum-hack-blames-masked-transaction">broader infrastructure breach</a>.

Bybit Offers $140M Bounty In Wake of $1.4B ETH Hack, Investigation Focuses On Safe

Benzinga examined the prospects for <a href="http://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas">many investors' favorite stocks</a> over the last week — here's a look at some of our top stories.
This week, Wall Street retreated from record highs, influenced by Walmart's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>) cautious profit outlook and the Federal Reserve's emphasis on persistent inflation risks. Walmart's stock declined by 6.5% after its profit forecast fell short of analysts&#8217; expectations, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s/25/02/43895372/walmarts-warning-fed-highlights-inflation-risks-chinese-stocks-surge-this-week-in-markets">raising concerns about consumer spending</a> amid ongoing inflation and trade uncertainties.
The Federal Reserve, in its latest meeting minutes, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43829352/fomc-minutes">highlighted the need for more evidence of cooling inflation</a> before considering rate cuts. Officials also pointed to potential inflationary pressures from possible shifts in trade and immigration policies, as well as supply chain disruptions due to geopolitical tensions.
In contrast, Chinese technology stocks experienced a surge, with Alibaba Group Holding Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) rising 8.1% following strong earnings and optimistic guidance. This rally was bolstered by speculation of potential monetary policy easing by China&#8217;s central bank and anticipated fiscal stimulus measures from policymakers.

Benzinga Bulls And Bears: SMCI, Jet.AI, Palantir, OXY And Wall Street Retreats From Record Highs

The annual report of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) was released on Saturday morning, shedding light on the company&#8217;s robust performance in the insurance sector with a whopping 71% increase in operating earnings for the fourth quarter.
What Happened: According to Berkshire&#8217;s report, the Nebraska-based conglomerate, under the leadership of Warren Buffett, attributed this surge to the rise in interest rates that amplified its investment income and an uplift in its insurance business. The company&#8217;s operating earnings for the quarter were recorded at $14.5 billion.
A significant portion of the earnings increase was due to a 48% increase in insurance investment income, which amounted to $4.1 billion. The firm&#8217;s insurance underwriting business also experienced a strong recovery, with operating earnings multiplying fourfold to $3.4 billion.
GEICO, a major contributor to Berkshire&#8217;s insurance results, more than doubled its pretax underwriting earnings&nbsp;to $7.8 billion in 2024.&nbsp;This was achieved by reversing a years-long downward trend and adding new clients in the latter half of the year.
However, despite these positive results, Berkshire&nbsp;expects pretax losses of approximately&nbsp;$1.3 billion due to the wildfires that ravaged&nbsp;parts of Los Angeles last&nbsp;month. Furthermore, Buffett&#8217;s cash reserves increased&nbsp;to a record $334.2 billion&nbsp;at the end of 2024,&nbsp;marking the 10th consecutive quarter of growth.
In his <a href="https://www.berkshirehathaway.com/letters/2024ltr.pdf">letter</a> to shareholders, Warren Buffett revealed the company&#8217;s performance exceeded his expectations. He also noted that the company paid more taxes than tech giants with trillion-dollar valuations.
&#8220;Berkshire Hathaway – paid far more in corporate income tax than the U.S. government had ever received from any company – even the American tech titans that commanded market values in the trillions. To be precise, Berkshire last year made four payments to the IRS that totaled $26.8 billion. That's about 5% of what all of corporate America paid. In addition, we paid sizable amounts for income taxes to foreign governments and to 44 states,&#8221; he mentioned in the letter.

Berkshire Hathaway&#8217;s property-casualty (P/C) insurance remains its core business. The company distinguishes itself&nbsp;in the insurance industry by&nbsp;taking on risks that other private insurers shy away from, while maintaining a disciplined approach to avoid underpriced policies.
Why It Matters: The substantial increase in Berkshire Hathaway&#8217;s Q4 operating profits signifies a strong recovery and growth in its insurance and investment sectors. The rise in interest rates played a crucial role in boosting the company&#8217;s investment income, contributing to the overall surge in earnings.
The robust recovery of the firm&#8217;s insurance underwriting business and the significant contribution from GEICO also played a pivotal role in the earnings increase. 
The growth of P/C insurance is directly linked to increasing economic risks.&nbsp;Berkshire Hathaway believes one-year risk&nbsp;assumptions are generally manageable but&nbsp;remains flexible to adapt policies&nbsp;as needed. This strategic approach has allowed the company to stay ahead in the industry and ensure its continued growth.
Berkshire Hathaway&#8217;s investment strategy is also noteworthy. The company&nbsp;remains committed to investing the&nbsp;majority of shareholder funds in&nbsp;equities, primarily American companies with&nbsp;significant international operations. 
This strategy of prioritizing&nbsp;ownership in strong businesses over&nbsp;holding cash-equivalent assets ensures&nbsp;long-term growth and value for&nbsp;its investors.

중요한 이유: 테슬라는 또 한 달 동안 벤징가 프로에서 가장 많이 검색된 종목으로 12월의 왕좌를 차지했다. 이 주식은 매달 사이트에서 가장 많이 검색되는 종목 중 하나이다.
슈퍼 마이크로 컴퓨터는 12월에 2위로 상승했다. 주식이 크게 하락한 월과 함께 관심이 급증했다.
엔비디아는 12월에 3위를 차지했으며, 이는 몇 달 간의 추적에서 가장 낮은 순위이다.
여러 회사들이 가장 많이 검색된 종목 목록에 처음 등장했다. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/24/12/42380768/quantum-computing-stocks-roundup-d-wave-rigetti-ionq-lead-the-charge-with-explosive-growth">양자 컴퓨팅</a> 주식 테마가 12월 월간 순위에 나타났다. 퀀텀 컴퓨팅, 리제티, D-웨이브 퀀텀은 모두 12월에 가장 많이 검색된 종목 상위 20위 안에 포함되었다.
다른 신입 주식으로는 인기 인공지능(AI) 플레이이자 숏 스퀴즈 후보인 사운드하운드 AI가 포함되었다. 이 주식은 <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-d-%EC%9B%A8%EC%9D%B4%EB%B8%8C-%ED%80%80%ED%85%80-%EC%BB%B4%ED%93%A8%ED%8C%85-%EC%82%AC/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">벤징가 스톡 위스퍼 지수</a>에서 여러 번 강조되었으며, 회사 경영진은 최근 <a href="https://kr.benzinga.com/news/usa/stocks/%EB%8F%85%EC%A0%90-%EC%82%AC%EC%9A%B4%EB%93%9C%ED%95%98%EC%9A%B4%EB%93%9C-ai%EC%9D%98-ceo%EA%B0%80-945-%EC%84%B1%EC%9E%A5%EC%97%90-%EB%8C%80%ED%95%B4-%EC%96%B8%EA%B8%89%ED%95%98%EB%A9%B0-%EC%9A%B0/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">벤징가와 인터뷰</a>를 했다.
마이크로스트레티지는 가장 큰 비트코인 보유자 중 하나로 9위에 올랐다. 9월 16위에서 상승했다. 이 주식은 여전히 비트코인의 대리 역할을 하고 있지만, 비트코인 ETF의 출현으로 2025년 투자자의 관심을 지켜보는 흥미로운 사례가 될 것이다.
누클레우스도 10위에 처음 등장했으며, 이번 달 포함이 일회성인지 아니면 투자자 모멘텀의 시작인지 지켜볼 가치가 있다.
ETF 부문에서는 SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust가 4위를 차지했으며 여전히 가장 많이 주시되는 ETF 중 하나이다. 나스닥 100을 추적하는 Invesco QQQ Trust ETF는 20위로 하락했으며, 10월에 15위, 9월에 6위를 기록했다.
트럼프 미디어 앤 테크놀로지 그룹(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DJT#NASDAQ">DJT</a>)는 10월에 3위를 차지했으나 20위 안에서 제외되었다. 이는 주식이 2024년 선거를 앞두고 모멘텀을 얻었고 이 움직임이 단기적이었음을 나타낼 수 있다. 도널드 트럼프 당선자의 취임식이 1월에 예정되어 있어 주식이 가격과 벤징가 독자들 사이의 관심이 상승하는지를 지켜보는 것이 중요한다.
애플(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>)은 12월에 큰 놀라움 중 하나였다. 이 주식은 정기적으로 상위 10개 가장 많이 검색된 종목 중 하나로 10월에는 8위를 차지했지만, 12월에는 25위로 하락했다.
전반적으로 12월 한 달 동안 10월의 상위 10개 종목 중 4개가 동일하게 유지되었고, 10월의 상위 20개 종목 중 8개가 동일하게 유지되었다.

이 회사는 목요일에 나스닥으로부터 주식 최소 입찰가 준수 회복에 대한 공식 서면 통지를 받았다고 <a href="https://kr.benzinga.com/news/usa/stocks/%EC%8B%A4%EC%8A%A4%ED%81%AC%EC%9D%98-%EC%A3%BC%EC%8B%9D%EC%9D%B4-%ED%99%94%EC%9A%94%EC%9D%BC-60-%EC%9D%B4%EC%83%81-%EA%B8%89%EB%93%B1-%EB%A7%88%EA%B0%90-%EB%AC%B4%EC%8A%A8-%EC%9D%BC%EC%9D%B4/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">발표</a>했다. 실스크는 이전에 8월에 주가가 $1 미만으로 떨어졌다는 서신을 받았다.
이 회사는 또한 기업의 양자 안전 암호화 전환을 지원하기 위해 SEALQUANTUM.com Lab을 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42686387/sealsq-launches-sealquantumcom-lab-to-help-businesses-transition-to-quantum-safe-encryption" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">출시</a>했다고 발표했다.
&#8220;우리 SEALQUANTUM.com Lab은 단순한 플랫폼 이상이며, 고객의 보안을 미래에 맞게 보호하겠다는 약속이다&#8221;라고 실스크의 CEO인 카를로스 모레이라(Carlos Moreira)가 말했다.
실스크는 <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%8A%A4%EB%83%85-%EC%8B%A4%EC%8A%A4q-%EB%B2%84%ED%8B%B0%EB%B8%8C/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">이전에</a> 이번 달 초 &#8216;스톡 위스퍼 지수&#8217;에 등장했으며 여러 드론 관련 파트너십으로 인해 주가가 급등하면서 관심이 급증했다. 드론과 양자 컴퓨팅에 대한 관심이 높아짐에 따라, 실스크는 독자들로부터 계속해서 주목을 받을 수 있다.
실스크의 주가는 금요일 3.65% 상승했다. <a href="https://bzresearch.myclickfunnels.com/benzinga-pro-content-webinar-registration/?utm_source=BZprocontent122724&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">벤징가 프로 차트</a>를 보면 주가가 300% 급등한 지난 5일 간을 볼 수 있다.  2024년 지금까지 주가는 689.57%  상승했다.

2. 리제티 컴퓨팅 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RGTI#NASDAQ">RGTI</a>): 지난 한 달 동안 611.04% 급등
양자 컴퓨팅 관련 주식이 두 번째 주 연속으로 가장 많이 검색되고 있으며, 벤징가 독자들로부터 큰 관심을 받고 있다.
리제티 컴퓨팅은 최근 84큐비트 Ankaa-3 양자 컴퓨터의 출시를 발표한 후 관심이 급증했다. 이 컴퓨터는 리제티 퀀텀 클라우드 서비스(Rigetti Quantum Cloud Services)를 통해 제공되며, 2025년 1분기부터 마이크로소프트 애저(Microsoft Azure)와 아마존 브라켓(Amazon Bracket)에서 사용할 수 있다.
리제티는 또한 2025년 중반까지 36큐비트 시스템을 출시하고, 2025년 말까지 100큐비트를 초과하는 시스템을 공개할 계획이다.
&#8220;우리는 우리의 로드맵과 성과 목표를 달성할 수 있는 능력에 대해 매우 확신하고 있다&#8221;고 리제티의 CEO인 수보드 쿨카르니 박사(Dr. Subodh Kulkarni)가 말했다.
일부 투자자들은 시트론 리서치를 포함하여 구글의 최근 양자 컴퓨팅 뉴스에 기반한 양자 컴퓨팅 관련 회사들의 평가가 급증한 것에 대해 회의적인 입장을 보이고 있다.
&#8220;구글의 양자 성공에 기반하여 $RGTI를 구매하는 것은 모든 틱톡 기타리스트가 다음 테일러 스위프트가 될 것이라고 믿는 것만큼 잘못된 것이다&#8221;라고 시트로 리서치가 트윗했다.
금요일 리제티의 주가는 10.52% 급등했다. 지난 5일 간 134.80% 상승했다. 주가는 2024년까지 1,755% 상승했다.

3. 게임스탑 (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GME#NYSE">GME</a>):
게임스톱 주식은 요즘 잘 알려져 있지만, 주가는 주간 동안 관심이 급증했다. 이는 투자자 로어링 키티(Roaring Kitty), 일명 키스 길(Keith Gill)의 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/24/12/42679610/roaring-kittys-christmas-post-has-gamestop-rallying-7-in-overnight-trading-memecoin-connected-to-trader-also-surge" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">새로운 트윗</a> 때문이다.
길은 크리스마스에 X에 선물 사진을 올렸다. 이는 12월에 로어링 키티 계정에서 두 번째 트윗으로, 몇 개월 간의 침묵을 깨뜨렸다. 12월 5일 트윗에서 로어링 키티 X 계정은 동영상 화면이 있는 컴퓨터와 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/24/12/42349100/gamestop-rockets-as-roaring-kitty-returns-to-x-what-does-his-tweet-signal-ahead-of-q3-earnings" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">타임 잡지 표지를 공유</a>했다. 이 영상은 1분 9초 지점에서 일시정지되는데, 이는 1월 9일을 단서로 지목할 수 있다.
게임스톱은 이달 초 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/gaming/24/12/42425015/gamestop-q3-earnings-revenue-miss-4b-cash-no-more-offerings-planned-in-fiscal-year" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">분기 재무 결과</a>를 발표했으며, 투자자들은 명절 쇼핑 시즌에 대한 소식을 몇 달 동안 기다려야 한다.
금요일 게임스탑의 주가는 2.39% 하락했지만, 지난 5일 동안 12.31% 상승했다. 연초 대비 93.16% 상승했다.
<img decoding="async" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/27120446/Screenshot-281.png?optimize=medium&amp;dpr=1.25&amp;auto=webp&amp;width=2048" />
4. 액손 엔터프라이즈 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AXON#NASDAQ">AXON</a>):
이 무기 및 클라우드 기반 디지털 증거 회사가 주식 속삭임 지수에 재등재되었으며, 지난 두 달 동안 두 번의 출연을 기록했다.
주식은 최근 Invesco QQQ Trust(NASDAQ:<a class="items-end ticker-link-wrapper inline-flex" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/qqq" target="_blank" rel="dofollow noopener" aria-label="Go to Quote Page for QQQ">QQQ</a>)를 추적하는 나스닥 100 지수에 추가되면서 독자들로부터 강한 관심을 받았다. 1985년에 출시된 나스닥 100 지수는 나스닥에 상장된 비금융 기업을 위한 주요 벤치마크이다. 액손, 팔란티어 및 마이크로스트레티지는 Nasdaq 100에 최근 추가되었다.
액손의 3분기 매출과 주당 순이익은 스트리트 컨센서스 예상치를 상회했다. 이번 분기는 분기 연속으로 애널리스트 추정치를 상회했으며 현재 매출과 주당 순이익 모두 10을 기록하고 있다. 액손은 또한 4분기 예상 범위가 5억 6천만 달러에서 5억 7천만 달러로 스트리트 추정치인 5억 2천 3백만 달러를 앞지르는 매출 지침을 공유했다.
분석가들은 최근 3분기 실적과 2024년 선거를 반영하여 액손의 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AXON/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">목표 주가를 상향 조정</a>했다. 노스랜드(Northland)는 아웃퍼폼(Outperform) 등급을 유지하고 목표 주가를 365달러에서 550달러로 상향 조정했으며, 니덤(Needham)은 매수(Buy) 등급을 유지하고 목표 주가를 525달러에서 600달러로 상향 조정했다.
주가는 금요일 2.06% 하락했지만, 지난 5일 동안 0.50% 상승했다. 연초 대비 142.81% 상승했다.
<img decoding="async" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/27120507/Screenshot-282.png?optimize=medium&amp;dpr=1.25&amp;auto=webp&amp;width=2048" />
5. 컴캐스트 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMCSA#NASDAQ">CMCSA</a>):
이 미디어 및 케이블 회사가 2024년 박스 오피스에서 강력한 성적을 거둔 것이 주식에 대한 투자자들의 관심을 높일 수 있는 이유 중 하나이다.
컴캐스트는 2024년 국내 매출 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42603589/disney-hits-2-billion-domestic-box-office-wins-top-honors-global-box-office-2025-to-grow-8-to-33b-analyst-says" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">상위 10개 영화 중 3개</a>를 차지했으며 &#8216;위키드&#8217;, &#8216;트위스터&#8217; 및 &#8216;쿵푸 팬더 4&#8217;가 각각 3위, 8위 그리고 10위를 차지했다. &#8216;위키드&#8217;는 비평가들의 찬사를 받았으며 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/12/42395178/golden-globes-2025-nominations-netflix-scores-nods-for-emilia-perez-and-squid-game-comcast-lands-4-wicked-noms" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">여러 골든 글로브상 후보</a>에 올랐다. 컴캐스트의 유니버셜(Universal) 브랜드는 상위 10위 안에 든 영화와 전 세계적으로 3억 달러 이상의 수익을 올린 &#8220;와일드 로봇&#8221; 덕분에 버라이어티(Variety)로부터 2024년 A-점수를 받았다.
&#8220;유니버셜은 불가능해 보이는 일을 해냈다. 뮤지컬을 영화 관객들에게 멋있게 보이게 만드는 것&#8221;이라고 버라이어티는 &#8220;위키드&#8221;의 성공에 대해 썼다.
컴캐스트는 1월 30일에 4분기 재무 결과를 보고하며, 이를 통해 회사의 피콕(Peacock) 스트리밍 플랫폼 및 기타 부문의 실적을 살펴볼 수 있다. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/12/42563662/streamers-max-paramount-won-november-heres-why-analyst-expects-netflix-amazon-to-win-december" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">최근 데이터</a>에 따르면 11월 피콕의 다운로드는 전월 대비 31% 증가한 것으로 나타났다. 이는 &#8216;트위스터&#8217;의 플랫폼 첫 공개와 2024년 선거일 보도 때문일 수 있다.
이 미디어 회사는 2025년 영화 라인업을 4분기 재무 실적에서 강조할 가능성이 높다. 이 라인업에는 &#8220;쥬라기 월드: 리버스&#8221;와 &#8220;위키드: 포 굿&#8221;이 포함된다.
주식은 금요일 0.84% 하락했지만, 지난 5일 동안 1.39% 상승했다. 연초 대비 주가는 13.14% 하락했다.

벤징가의 '스톡 위스퍼' 지수: 실스크, 리제티 컴퓨팅, 게임스탑, 액손 및 컴캐스트

실스크(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LAES#NASDAQ">LAES</a>)의 주식은 목요일에 60% 이상 상승 마감했으며, 회사가 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/12/g42694574/sealsq-regains-compliance-with-nasdaqs-minimum-bid-price-requirement">나스닥 상장 규정</a>의 최소 매도 가격 요건을 재확인 받았다고 발표한 후, 시간외 거래에서도 상승세가 이어지고 있다.
무슨 일이 있었나: 실스크(SEALSQ)는 목요일 시장이 마감한 후, 나스닥으로부터 회사가 나스닥의 최소 매도 가격 요건을 재확인 받았다는 공식 서면 통지를 받았다고 발표했다.
실스크는 8월 1일, 회사가 나스닥 상장 지속을 위한 $1 최소 매도 가격 요건을 충족하지 못했다고 통지서를 받았다. 이 회사는 1월 28일 이전의 10거래일 동안 최소 매도 가격이 $1 이상이어야 했다.
실스크는 12월 11일부터 12월 24일까지 주가가 $1 이상으로 거래된 후 컴플라이언스를 재확인 받았다고 통지받았다고 밝혔다. 주식은 이제 이 문제가 해결되었다는 발표에 긍정적으로 반응하고 있다. <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>에 따르면, 실스크 주식은 지난 한 달 동안 2,000% 이상 상승했다.
실스크의 주식은 목요일 정상 거래 시간 동안 60% 이상 상승하며 52주 최고가인 $9.32를 기록했다. 이 회사가 양자 안전 암호화로 전환하는 조직을 지원하기 위해 SEALQUANTUM.com Lab을 출시한다고 발표한 후의 일이다.
&#8220;양자 기술이 현실이 됨에 따라, 양자 안전 암호화 솔루션에 대한 필요성이 점점 더 시급해지고 있다&#8221;고 카를로스 모레이라(Carlos Moreira), 실스크의 CEO가 말했다.
&#8220;우리의 SEALQUANTUM.com Lab은 단순한 플랫폼 그 이상이다. 고객의 보안을 미래에 대비시키겠다는 약속이다. 최첨단 연구와 실행 가능한 도구를 결합하여 기업들이 양자 암호화의 복잡성을 자신 있게 탐색할 수 있도록 지원하고 있다.&#8221;
실스크는 &#8220;반도체, PKI 및 포스트-양자 기술 하드웨어 및 소프트웨어 제품을 개발 및 판매하는 회사&#8221;라고 설명하고 있다.

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 12월 13일로 끝나는 주간의 벤징가 ‘스톡 위스퍼' 지수의 개요:
1. 스냅 (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNAP#NYSE">SNAP</a>):
<div class="ticker-wrapper">
<div class="sc-icgYrN gsJcQM ticker-box-wrapper">

<div class="relative w-fit"></div>
</div>
<div class="sc-hZlppA ddOBfh get-report-button flex">
<div class="flex items-center ml-2 text-sm text-blue-500">소셜 미디어 및 메신저 회사인 스냅은 벤징가 독자들로부터 강한 관심을 받았다. 이는 미국에서 틱톡 <a style="font-size: revert;" href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42369266/meta-reddit-stocks-climb-record-highs-as-tiktoks-battle-against-us-ban-continues-after-court-ruling" target="_blank" rel="noopener">금지 운동이 계속되고 있는 것</a>과 관련이 있을 가능성이 크다.</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
스냅과 틱톡의 소셜 미디어 경쟁자인 페이스북, 인스타그램 및 레딧 등은 틱톡이 금지될 경우 이점을 누릴 수 있다. 최근 틱톡은 미국 항소 법원과의 싸움에서 패배했으며, 모회사 바이트댄스는 2025년 1월 19일까지 미국 자회사를 비중국인 소유자에게 매각하지 않으면 앱 스토어에서 플랫폼이 제거된다는 기한을 받았다.
이것이 스냅에게는 긍정적인 소식이 될 수 있지만, 금지 조치는 아직 끝나지 않았으며, 바이트댄스가 계속해서 싸울 것이란 우려와 함께 도널드 트럼프 대통령 당선자가 백악관을 인수할 때 금지 조치를 중단할 수 있다는 우려도 있다. 또한 스냅과 다른 소셜 미디어 플랫폼들은 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42237670/meta-tiktok-snapchat-could-face-32m-fines-as-australia-enforces-social-media-ban-for-under-16s-while-exempting-youtube" target="_blank" rel="noopener">여러 국가</a>와 주들에서 사용 연령 제한으로 인해 중단 조치를 받을 수 있다. 주가가 더 하락할 수 있다.
스냅의 주가는 금요일 0.62% 하락한 11.31달러에 마감되었다. 이번 주에는 9.52% 하락했으며, 2024년 연초 대비 주가가 29.93% 하락했다.

2. 실스크 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LAES#NASDAQ">LAES</a>):
마이크로칩 회사인 실스크(SEALSQ)는 드론과 관련된 여러 뉴스로 인해 주가가 급등했다. 이 회사는 패럿(Parrot)과 에이지이글(AgEagle)과의 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/24/12/42447155/sealsq-corp-shares-are-up-by-more-than-90-what-you-need-to-know" target="_blank" rel="noopener">파트너십을 발표</a>했다.
이 회사는 2025년에 새로운 양자 저항 보안 칩 포트폴리오를 출시할 계획이다. 이로 인해 주가가 Benzinga 독자들의 주목을 받을 수 있게 된다. 이러한 칩에 대한 테스트가 진행 중이며, 실스크는 IC 알프스(IC&#8217;ALPS)와의 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42466578/whats-going-on-with-sealsq-corp-today" target="_blank" rel="noopener">파트너십을 발표</a>하여 보안 애플리케이션 전용 집적 회로의 개발을 가속화했다.
&#8220;우리는 민첩성과 혁신을 결합함으로써 글로벌 반도체 산업에서 우수성의 기준을 설정하고 있다&#8221;고 실스크의 CTO인 장 피에르 앙구앙(Jean Pierre Enguent)가 말했다.
드론 시장은 상업용 및 군용 드론 애플리케이션의 증가로 인해 투자자들이 주목하고 있는 핫한 시장이다. 실스크의 주가는 이번 주에 297.82% 급등했다. 금요일 이 주식은 5.41% 하락한 1.75달러에 마감했으나 이후 시간외 거래에서 10.29% 급등했다.

이 주식은 이전에 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/top-stories/24/06/39551432/benzingas-stock-whisper-index-5-stocks-investors-secretly-monitor-but-dont-talk-about-yet" target="_blank" rel="noopener">6월에</a> 주식 속삭임 지수에 등장했으며, 애널리스트의 업그레이드가 주가를 상승시켰다. 뱅크 오브 아메리카는 중립에서 매수로 주식을 상향 조정하고, 목표 주가를 290달러로 설정했다. 이 애널리스트는 전략적 파트너십과 가격 책정이 향후 성장에 기여할 수 있다고 말했다.

5. 마벨 테크놀로지 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRVL#NASDAQ">MRVL</a>):
반도체 주식인 마벨은 동료들이 실적을 발표하고 회사가 12월 3일에 3분기 <a href="https://kr.benzinga.com/news/usa/stocks/%EB%A7%88%EB%B2%A8-%ED%85%8C%ED%81%AC%EB%86%80%EB%A1%9C%EC%A7%80-3%EB%B6%84%EA%B8%B0-%ED%98%B8%EC%8B%A4%EC%A0%81-%EB%B0%8F-4%EB%B6%84%EA%B8%B0-%EA%B0%95%EB%A0%A5%ED%95%9C-%EC%A0%84%EB%A7%9D-%EB%B0%9C/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">재무 결과를 발표</a>한 지 2주도 채 안 된 시점에서 주가가 상승하고 있다. 이 회사는 매출과 주당 순이익 모두에서 애널리스트의 예상치를 초과했다.
