"Blaze a new trail," singer-songwriter Usher Terry Raymond IV urged Emory University's Class of 2025 during his <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLEzw6D69-g">commencement address</a> on May 12 in Atlanta, stressing that "it's the person who animates the degree."&nbsp;

"A diploma still matters, yes of course it matters, but it's not the paper that gives the power, it's you," Usher said, urging graduates to match credentials with "ambition, integrity, hustle and heart." Emory highlighted the address in a campus recap.
Cut from a middle-school chorus for singing off-key, Usher signed his first record deal at 14.

<a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/gen-z-tech-entry-level-job-market-2025-6">Business Insider </a>reported this month that entry-level openings at Big Tech names such as Alphabet Inc.

Those remarks align with Usher's closing challenge to Emory's class: "Be a little unrealistic—be a little delusional" when pursuing fulfillment, yet stay patient with the process.&nbsp;
As he reminded graduates, obstacles can "make you or break you," but a relentless mindset can still turn classroom setbacks into platinum records—or whatever success looks like after the mortarboards land.&nbsp;

Usher Says He Was Misunderstood And Passed Over In School — Now He's Worth $200 Million And Tells Gen Z 'Blaze A New Trail'

Earlier this week, Quantum Computing, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QUBT#NASDAQ">QUBT</a>) announced a $200 million private placement and Microsoft Corp.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) CEO said quantum computing could take scientific advancements to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/new-etfs/25/06/46080190/quantum-volatility-tradrs-new-etfs-qubx-rgtu-are-built-for-it-says-matt-markiewicz">the next level</a>.

Highlights: In a fireside chat with Gary Tan at Y Combinator&#8217;s AI Startup School that was posted on YouTube on Wednesday, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said that<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46111393/ai-is-already-speeding-up-discoveries-in-chemistry-and-physics-but-satya-nadella-says-the-real-breakthrough-will-come-when-we-add-quantum-computing-to-the-mix"> it will be</a> a game-changer when quantum computing is integrated with AI.&nbsp;

Quantum Stocks Surge And Stumble: Here's What Happened This Week

In a recent <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/SocialSecurity/comments/1laxdo4/true_or_false/">Reddit post</a> on r/SocialSecurity, a user shared a dilemma that stirred up plenty of advice — and some confusion. The poster's friend is 67, still working full-time, and just sold his house. He hasn't started collecting <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/management/25/06/46056038/still-working-at-69-eligible-for-social-security-should-he-keep-waiting-or-claim-now">Social Security</a> yet, but a bank advisor told him he should claim now — or risk "losing money" because of a so-called "look back" tied to his high income.
Commenters quickly weighed in, but let's break down what's really going on — and whether the advisor's warning holds up.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">At 67, Is It Too Late to Wait?</h2>
No — in fact, he's right on time to make a smart decision.
Don't Miss:
<ul class="wp-block-list">

</ul>
Because the man is already 67, he's reached his full retirement age, or FRA, under <a href="https://www.ssa.gov/pubs/EN-05-10069.pdf">Social Security rules</a>. That means he can earn as much as he wants from working — or from selling his home — and it won't reduce his monthly benefit at all.
Claiming now is an option, but not a requirement. And waiting a bit longer will actually increase his benefit thanks to delayed retirement credits, which add about 8% per year up to age 70.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Will Selling the House Hurt His Benefits?</h2>
This is where the bank advisor's claim gets shaky.
Social Security only cares about earned income — money from working or self-employment — when it comes to calculating any reductions in benefits before FRA. Once you hit FRA, those limits go away entirely.
On top of that, profits from a home sale are considered capital gains, not earned income. They don't affect your Social Security benefit calculation — and there's no "look back" rule in Social Security that would penalize him later.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Wait, Is There Any "Look Back" Rule at All?</h2>
As some of the commenters on the thread mentioned, the "look back" the advisor mentioned probably comes from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/management/25/06/46044386/ill-lose-my-marriage-72-year-old-man-asks-if-hes-a-bad-son-for-applying-for-medicaid-to-place-his-broke-94-year-old-mom-in-a-nursing-home">Medicaid</a>, not Social Security. Medicaid has a five-year look-back period to see if applicants transferred assets below market value in an attempt to qualify for long-term care coverage.
That rule has nothing to do with claiming Social Security benefits.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Could Medicare Costs Go Up?</h2>
Here's the one area where income from a house sale might have an impact: Medicare.
If the sale significantly increases his taxable income this year — with the sale of his property, his annual income this year went from $87,000 to $300,000 — he could get hit with higher Medicare premiums in a couple of years. Medicare uses a two-year income "look back" to determine whether someone owes Income-Related Monthly Adjustment Amount, or IRMAA, surcharges on their premiums.
But this doesn't affect whether or not he should claim Social Security — it's a separate issue.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Reddit Gets It Right — Mostly</h2>
Many Reddit commenters correctly pointed out that claiming Social Security right now is a choice, not an urgent requirement. There's no penalty for waiting once you hit <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45534539/social-security-full-retirement-age-shift-means-filing-at-62-could-chop-your-check-by-30-what-every-worker-born-in-1960-or-later-must-know">full retirement age</a>, and in this case, there's no financial downside to holding off — especially if he doesn't need the money yet.
The takeaway? It's worth getting advice, but make sure it's from someone who understands the rules — not just a bank advisor trying to be helpful.

He's 67, Still Working, And Just Sold His House — His Bank Advisor Says Claiming Social Security Now Or Lose Money Later. Is That True?

President Donald Trump revealed a peace agreement on June 27 between the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Rwanda, aimed at halting long-standing violence in eastern Congo and unlocking U.S.-backed economic <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/commodities/25/06/46157422/trump-ally-eyes-500-million-deal-in-peace-plan-for-dr-congo" rel="noreferrer noopener">development in the region</a>.
The treaty announcement follows rising international concern over Rwanda&#8217;s alleged support of rebel forces destabilizing mineral-rich parts of eastern Congo.
The agreement comes as part of the Trump administration&#8217;s broader strategy to end global conflicts and facilitate American investment in strategic regions, USA Today <a target="_blank" href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2025/06/27/trump-basks-in-another-peace-deal-this-one-in-africa/84383556007/?tbref=hp" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio played a pivotal role in securing the deal, hosting a formal signing ceremony with Congolese Foreign Minister Thérèse Kayikwamba Wagner and Rwandan Foreign Minister Olivier Nduhungirehe at the State Department before bringing both diplomats to the Oval Office.
Eastern Congo has suffered decades of unrest, fueled by territorial disputes and competition over valuable natural resources like cobalt and copper, USA Today adds.
The DRC government blames the M23 rebel group—which the U.N. says is backed by Rwanda—for thousands of deaths and the displacement of more than 450,000 civilians this year alone. Rwanda denies any involvement.
Senior administration adviser Massad Boulos, who is also connected to Trump&#8217;s family, is reportedly in talks to secure mineral supply deals that could channel billions of dollars into the DRC&#8217;s economy.
The Trump administration sees peace as a pathway to stabilizing the region and boosting access to critical minerals essential for electric vehicles, consumer electronics, and national security.
This latest agreement builds on Trump&#8217;s efforts to broker ceasefires in Gaza and Ukraine.
According to State Department officials, the treaty covers a ceasefire, respect for borders, refugee return, and a regional economic framework—though they caution that real peace will depend on actual implementation on the ground.

Trump Brokers Peace Deal Between DR Congo And Rwanda — Now Eyes Billions In US Investment

"So wild to see her reaction," Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian said on the <a href="https://www.possible.fm/podcasts/ohanian/">"Possible" podcast</a> last month, after ChatGPT vaulted his childhood pencil sketches into vivid starships for his&nbsp; 7-year-old daughter, Olympia Ohanian.&nbsp;
The venture capitalist added that super-intelligence is becoming a commodity. "I want her to understand this is a superpower that she should have," framing generative <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/02/43903135/ais-19-9-trillion-impact-could-create-the-first-trillionaire-but-mark-cuban-says-it-wont-be-musk-or-bezos">artificial intelligence</a> as a creative engine kids can wield daily.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Classroom Superpowers Or Caution Signs</h2>
In the same conversation, Ohanian explained that he photographed "half-finished" cartoon rockets he drew as a kid and let ChatGPT return "full-color illustrations" in seconds.&nbsp;
"I want Olympia using it every day," he said, arguing that access to super-intelligence will soon be table stakes for homework. "It was just so wild to see her reaction to it," he said when the new drawings appeared. Ohanian recalled how the second-grader immediately asked to "make it fly through space."&nbsp;
"I still need her to know the fundamentals of reading and writing and arithmetic," Ohanian said, "but I want her to know that the raw intelligence part has been solved." Beyond art, he points to the AI-powered tutoring platform <a href="https://www.synthesis.com/tutor">Synthesis</a> as Olympia's homework helper—a tool that drills math and logic while still encouraging her to practice traditional pencil skills.

Washington began laying the groundwork for that vision in April, when a White House <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/04/advancing-artificial-intelligence-education-for-american-youth/">executive order</a> created a task force to train teachers, fund AI-literacy curricula, and stage a nationwide "Presidential AI Challenge" for K-12 students. The directive also asks the Education Department to publish funding guidance within 90 days and calls for public-private partnerships to stock classrooms with vetted AI tools.
Classroom adoption is already accelerating. A nationally representative survey released in April by researchers at the University of California, Irvine, and <a href="https://www.foundry10.org/news/press/uci-news-uc-irvine-leads-national-survey-of-artificial-intelligences-role-in-education">nonprofit Foundry10</a> found 69% of teens said AI helped them learn something new, while less than 6% said they had experienced negative social or academic impacts from their use of AI.
Still, caution resonates in Washington. During a <a href="https://www.techpolicy.press/transcript-sam-altman-testifies-at-us-senate-hearing-on-ai-competitiveness/">Senate Commerce Committee hearing</a> last month, OpenAI CEO <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44590350/courtroom-clash-no-thank-you-sparks-lawsuit-as-altman-shuts-down-musks-97-4b-bid">Sam Altman</a> told lawmakers that children require "a much higher level of protection" before forging chat-based friendships.&nbsp;
Altman urged age gates and independent safety audits, warning that unsupervised AI companions could mold identity development. Ohanian contends safeguards and exploration can coexist. "I want her to understand this is a superpower that she should have," he said.

'So Wild To See Her Reaction' — Alexis Ohanian, Co-Founder Of Reddit, Uses AI To Turn Childhood Doodles Into Space Adventures With His Kid

The Federal Reserve announced on Friday that all 22 of the nation&#8217;s largest banks successfully passed its 2025 stress test, maintaining adequate capital buffers even under a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/analyst-ratings/25/06/46125160/expert-outlook-bank-of-america-through-the-eyes-of-15-analysts" rel="noreferrer noopener">hypothetical recession scenario</a>. However, analysts noted that this year&#8217;s exam was less demanding than previous iterations, CNBC <a target="_blank" href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/06/27/big-banks-all-pass-less-vigorous-federal-reserves-stress-tests.html" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>.
The central bank&#8217;s simulated downturn included milder assumptions compared to 2024—featuring smaller declines in housing and commercial real estate prices, a more moderate unemployment spike, and reduced overall market disruption.

The report adds that these factors likely contributed to the more favorable outcomes for major financial institutions.
Michelle Bowman, the Fed&#8217;s newly appointed vice chair for supervision and a President Donald Trump appointee, said in a statement, &#8220;Large banks remain well capitalized and resilient to a range of severe outcomes,&#8221; CNBC adds
The scenario estimated roughly $550 billion in total losses across the tested firms, yet all remained above regulatory minimums.
Unlike last year&#8217;s exam, which included steeper declines and more severe economic pain points, the 2025 version omitted deeper stress on private equity holdings and did not evaluate exposure to private credit markets—a rapidly growing $2 trillion segment.
Fed officials offered limited explanation for the shift, only citing past volatility in test outcomes and a plan to seek public input for future revisions.
Notably absent from the 2025 methodology was any direct testing of bank vulnerabilities to private credit. Despite recent warnings from Fed researchers—including the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston—about the systemic risks private credit could pose in a sharp downturn, the Fed&#8217;s stress test documents made no reference to the sector.

(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>), Citigroup Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/C#NYSE">C</a>), and Bank of America Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>) were among those that cleared the exam.
Their solid performance positions them to resume capital return programs, including dividend payouts and share buybacks, with announcements expected next week, the report adds.

Big Banks Pass Fed's 2025 Stress Test With Ease—But Some Say It Was Too Easy

<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/retirement-income-calculator">Retiring early </a>could be a dream for many. Allison Esposito Medina was one of many who was able to retire early.
Before re-entering the workforce years later, Medina wanted to make sure that she focused on a work-life balance that fit her new lifestyle.
What Happened: Medina lasted only <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-retirement-plans">five months in retirement,</a> but a decision to re-join the workforce needed to accommodate the new hobbies and activities the then 40-year-old had taken up.
&#8220;I worked at Foursquare and Google, and in 2014, I started my business, Tech Ladies. My goal was to help women in the industry find jobs, negotiate and network,&#8221; Medina wrote for&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/02/15/40-year-old-who-retired-and-only-lasted-5-months-it-was-boring.html?forYou=true" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">CNBC</a>.
Median sold Tech Ladies in 2021, which came after a decade working in the New York tech scene.
After the sale of the company, helping with the transition and realizing she had enough saved, Medina decided to retire early at the age of 40.
Medina&#8217;s retirement lasted only five months. During retirement, Medina worked on a flower garden, started exercising, did volunteer work and went for walks with new friends made during a move from New York City to New Jersey.
&#8220;Five months in, my quality of life had vastly improved. But I had mixed feelings, and at time it felt boring.&#8221;
Medina decided to re-join the workforce with her business idea to launch an online community for Gen Z and Millenial pet owners.

Why It&#8217;s Important:&nbsp;Medina&#8217;s trip back to the workforce this time around has been different, putting an emphasis on work-life balance while founding&nbsp;<a href="https://www.juniperpet.co/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Juniper</a>.
&#8220;I was proud of the mission, but I never exercised or took a vacation, and I rarely saw friends,&#8221; Medina recalled of her previous time working before retirement.
Medina shared the most valuable lesson she has learned, thanks to previously having an obsession with time and energy while running Tech Ladies.
&#8220;The most valuable lesson I learned is that you shouldn&#8217;t wait to do the things you dream about in retirement.&#8221;
Medina&#8217;s three questions she asked herself before founding Juniper were:
<ol start="1" class="wp-block-list">
<li>If you didn&#8217;t have to work, what is on your list of things you&#8217;d do that brings you joy?</li>
<li>How many hours a week would it take to actually do it?</li>
<li>What can you take off your plate to give yourself more time and energy to do it?</li>
</ol>
Medina said it&#8217;s important to &#8220;push yourself to be honest&#8221; about how much time you have.
Juniper was launched by Media in November 2023 after she started working on it in August of the same year.
Now, Medina works 40 hours instead of 80 in her past life. Her non-negotiables for work-life balance include having time to walk her dog, exercising and cooking every day, not skipping vacations and having weekends off.
&#8220;I want to build another successful company, but my definition of success now is accomplishing my goals without sacrificing my health, or the things that bring me joy and purpose.&#8221;

She Retired At 40, Got Bored, And Came Back Smarter: Her 3 Millionaire Rules For A Life That Actually Works

Bill Gates, co-founder of Microsoft, could have been the world&#8217;s first trillionaire if he had retained his original company stock.
What Happened: The Forbes projection comes in light of Gates&#8217; public commitment to donate nearly all of&nbsp;his remaining wealth and wind&nbsp;down the Gates Foundation by&nbsp;2045. 
Gates, along with his ex-wife Melinda, have already donated $60.2 billion to the foundation since its inception in 2000, making them the second-largest philanthropists in America. 
Despite their philanthropic efforts, they remain among the world&#8217;s wealthiest, with an estimated net worth of&nbsp;$113 billion and $30.4 billion, respectively.
According to Forbes&#8217; <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/mattdurot/2025/05/09/bill-gates-would-be-a-trillionaire-if-hed-kept-all-his-microsoft-stock/">calculations</a>, if the Gates had not embarked on their philanthropic journey and retained all their Microsoft shares,&nbsp;their combined fortune would be&nbsp;a staggering&nbsp;$1.5 trillion. 
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/22/10/29194457/melinda-gates-on-divorce-with-bill-gates-unbelievably-painful-i-just-couldnt-stay-in-that-marriage-2">Melinda Gates On Divorce With Bill Gates: &#8216;I Just Couldn&#8217;t Stay In That Marriage&#8217;</a>
In this hypothetical&nbsp;scenario,&nbsp;Gates alone would likely be&nbsp;the first trillionaire, with a fortune of $1.2 trillion&nbsp;even after his 2021 divorce.&nbsp;
This sum would be over&nbsp;triple Elon Musk&#8216;s peak net&nbsp;worth. Melinda would be worth&nbsp;an estimated $300 billion, potentially&nbsp;making her the world&#8217;s third-richest person.
In reality, Gates has&nbsp;systematically sold and donated shares,&nbsp;diversifying his portfolio. Currently,&nbsp;his Microsoft ownership is an&nbsp;estimated 0.9 percent stake, valued&nbsp;at $28 billion. Melinda&#8217;s Microsoft&nbsp;shares are an estimated $&nbsp;380,000.
Why It Matters: The Gates have made significant contributions to global health and poverty alleviation through the Gates Foundation, distributing an estimated $47.7 billion.&nbsp;
Melinda has also launched Pivotal&nbsp;Philanthropies and committed an additional&nbsp;$12.5 billion for women's and&nbsp;girls' rights. Both remain committed&nbsp;to the Giving Pledge, which&nbsp;they co-founded with Berkshire Hathaway&#8217;s&nbsp;chairperson Warren Buffett in 2010.&nbsp;
Their philanthropic efforts have had a significant impact on global issues, despite the potential personal wealth they could have amassed.

Bill Gates Could've Been The World's First Trillionaire — and Richer Than Elon Musk — If He'd Kept His Microsoft Stock

At 55, one school bus driver is weighing a tough decision that many people approaching <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/06/46024300/is-your-retirement-plan-just-a-hope-and-a-401-k">retirement</a> can relate to: Should she stick with a job she enjoys, or switch to a new one that offers a pension and free health insurance?
She shared her dilemma in a <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/retirement/comments/1lexwqs/struggling_with_new_job_offer_for_retirement/">Reddit forum</a>, explaining that the job she's considering offers something her current employer doesn't — a pension.&nbsp;
"The pension will take me 7 years to become fully vested," she wrote, adding that after 10 years, she'd qualify for a higher payout. "That would put me right at 65, and I could retire with the small pension and [Social Security]."

</ul>
The catch? Switching jobs means starting over. And while the new job offers a lifetime pension, it also requires a longer commute, working summers, and losing some financial benefits she currently depends on.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What She Has Now</h2>
Right now, she drives a school bus part time. The pay is higher per hour, and the job comes with some perks that aren&#8217;t always obvious — like unemployment benefits during school breaks. She also contributes to a 401(k) and relies on her husband's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/health-care/25/06/46013434/dave-ramsey-asks-why-does-this-dang-medicare-feel-so-confusing-blames-government-then-offers-seniors-a-clear-path-forward">health insurance</a>.
Importantly, she enjoys her current role and isn't looking to leave because of dissatisfaction. "I enjoy my job and have nothing against my current employer at all," she said. "What pulls me toward this other employer is the pension and free health insurance for me, which means the hubby can drop me from his health insurance plan."

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What the New Job Offers</h2>
The new job would still involve driving a bus, but with a few key changes. She'd go from guaranteed four-hour days to six-hour days. Even though the hourly pay is lower, the increased hours could mean a slightly higher paycheck overall.
The real draw is the pension and free health coverage. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/02/43432805/workers-long-for-the-day-pensions-make-a-comeback-83-say-everyone-deserves-a-pension-not-just-public-employees">Pensions</a> can be hard to come by these days, especially ones that offer a fixed monthly payment for life. But to earn that benefit, she'd need to stay for at least seven years. To maximize it, 10 years. That would mean working full time, through summers and breaks, until she's 65.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What Others Are Saying</h2>
Comments on her post were mixed. Some encouraged her to take the pension while she still has time to vest, pointing out that "pensions are incredibly scarce these days, especially ones that have a lifetime payout." Others urged caution. "If it were me… I think I'd stay at the job I love and just try to max my 401(k) contributions."

One user raised a practical concern: pensions may not always be as secure as they seem. "They depend on the stability of your company and their competency level to keep your, and others, contributions safe," they said.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">No Easy Answer</h2>
This isn't a straightforward financial decision — it's a personal one. It involves weighing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44459879/suze-orman-warns-the-absolute-worst-thing-that-you-can-be-doing-right-now-is-panic-because-it-hurts-long-term-security">long-term security</a> against current comfort, and guaranteed income against the flexibility of a 401(k). While a pension sounds appealing, she's also aware that switching jobs at this stage of life comes with trade-offs.
For now, it seems that she's leaning toward staying where she is and increasing her retirement contributions. But as she put it, "I have time to think it over… but not forever."

Should She Start Over For A Pension? A 55-Year-Old School Bus Driver Weighs Guaranteed Retirement Pay Against Job Comfort

Michael Intrator, the CEO of AI startup&nbsp;CoreWeave, has seen his net worth double to a whopping $10 billion in a mere 12 days. This rapid wealth accumulation is unprecedented in the tech industry.
What Happened:&nbsp;CoreWeave&#8217;s stock has skyrocketed by nearly 300%&nbsp;in the last two months. This followed a rather unimpressive initial public offering (IPO) in March. 
The stock&#8217;s surge has greatly enriched its shareholders, including Intrator, a 56-year-old former hedge fund manager.
Bloomberg notes that Intrator&#8217;s net worth has soared&nbsp;from $5 billion to $10&nbsp;billion in less than two weeks. This is an extraordinary achievement, given that it usually takes a billionaire over three years to double their wealth.
Despite CoreWeave&#8217;s initial lackluster performance on the stock market, Intrator remained steadfast in his belief in the company&#8217;s potential to &#8220;generate enormous value.&#8221;

CoreWeave&#8217;s other co-founders have also seen their wealth grow significantly. Bloomberg reports that the company&#8217;s chief strategy officer, Brian Venturo, is now worth $6.4 billion, while chief development officer, Brannin McBee, is worth $4.7 billion, <a href="https://fortune.com/2025/06/27/billionaire-ai-company-coreweave-ceo-double-wealth-five-to-ten-billion-michael-intrator-no-tech-background/">reports</a> Fortune.
The company&#8217;s success can be attributed to securing major&nbsp;tech companies as clients and&nbsp;partners,&nbsp;including Nvidia, OpenAI, and Microsoft.&nbsp;
Interestingly, all three founders come from finance backgrounds, not tech, highlighting that breaking into AI does not necessarily require a tech background.
Why It Matters: CoreWeave&#8217;s success story is a testament to the immense potential of AI technology and its ability to generate wealth rapidly. 
The company&#8217;s ability to secure partnerships with major tech companies, despite its founders&#8217; non-tech backgrounds, underscores the importance of strategic alliances and business acumen in the tech industry. 
This could potentially inspire more finance professionals to venture into the tech industry, particularly AI, thereby fostering greater diversity and innovation in the sector.

Here's How This AI CEO Just Doubled His Net Worth To $10 Billion—In Just Only 12 Days

Legendary Investor Warren Buffett had an extreme fear of public speaking in his younger days. If it weren&#8217;t for a $100 college course he took when he was 20 years old, the &#8220;Oracle of Omaha&#8221; might have shorted his own success.
What To Know: Buffett had an extreme fear of public speaking up until the age of 20, according to <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2019/03/21/billionaire-warren-buffett-says-a-100-dollar-course-had-the-biggest-impact-on-his-success.html?utm_content=makeit&amp;utm_medium=Social&amp;utm_source=Facebook&amp;fbclid=IwAR214Hln3Hmu8MUDHCWsWv1Ogxu7wi-TK9fQr8Yo3_bw1ds91gwRc5W4COk#Echobox=1675694538">CNBC</a>.
"Just the thought of it made me physically ill.&nbsp;I would literally throw up,"&nbsp;Buffett told CNBC contributor and&nbsp;"Getting There" author&nbsp;Gillian Zoe Segal.
In his early college days, Buffett, chair and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>), would select certain classes to avoid having to present in front of his classmates. Furthermore, he designed his schedule so he wouldn't have to be in front of crowds.
He told Segal that he could barely even introduce himself whenever he found himself in a situation where he was required to speak in front of others. 
Buffett set out to change that when he saw an ad for a Dale Carnegie public speaking course at Columbia's Business School. He signed up and even wrote a check to cover the costs, but shortly after, he called it off.
"I just couldn&#8217;t do it. I was that terrified," the Berkshire CEO&nbsp;said.

Not long after Buffett graduated, he came across the exact same ad in the paper and set out to sign himself up again, with one key difference in his approach.
"This time, I handed the instructor $100 in cash. I knew if I gave him the cash I&#8217;d show up," Buffett&nbsp;said.&nbsp;
He did show up, and he discovered that about 30 other people had the same problem&nbsp;he did, he said: "We all had trouble saying our&nbsp;own names."
By the time he finished the 12-week course, he was ready to put his skills to the test. He applied for a teaching position at the University of Omaha right away, knowing that if he didn't keep at it, he would risk giving up&nbsp;the progress he had made in the public speaking class.&nbsp;
"I just kept doing it, and now you can&#8217;t stop me from talking,"&nbsp;Buffett told Segal with a laugh.
The report indicates that the Berkshire CEO&nbsp;credits much of his&nbsp;<a href="http://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/23/02/30740695/how-warren-buffetts-fund-manager-turned-70k-into-264m-in-a-perfect-world-nobody-would-know-about-t">success</a>&nbsp;to the public speaking class, which is&nbsp;a lot of praise for someone as successful as the Oracle himself.
According to <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/billionaires/">Bloomberg</a>, Buffett is the eighth-richest person in the world, with an estimated net worth of $152 billion at the time of writing. His fund has historically outperformed the S&amp;P 500, delivering nearly 20% compounded annual returns since Buffett took control of Berkshire in 1965.

Warren Buffett Would Probably Still 'Literally Throw Up' When Speaking In Front Of Crowds If He Didn't Take This $100 College Course

A 35-year-old nurse from Montreal recently stunned listeners of &#8220;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MU9MAmr4VAQ">The Ramsey Show</a>&#8221; when he called in to share that he&#8217;s carrying a total of $1.8 million in debt, despite cutting out everything <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/06/46067665/the-real-budget-killer-isnt-big-purchases-its-the-20-here-20-there-habits-that-quietly-empty-your-account">from snacks to grooming</a>.
&#8220;I had my aha moment when I saw $22,000 going out in one month after doing a budget,&#8221; he told Dave Ramsey and co-host Rachel Cruze. With one child already and another on the way, he&#8217;s desperate to make changes, but feels stuck in a financial hole that&#8217;s quickly closing in.

The caller said he owes $680,000 on a triplex currently listed for $950,000, and another $590,000 on his family home, which he says is worth about $750,000. On top of that, he has two electric Hondas, each with loans of nearly $70,000, plus $35,000 in credit card and student loan debt.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Ramsey And Cruze Push Back Hard</h2>
Ramsey and Cruze went straight to the point. &#8220;You sound like you&#8217;re walking around under a 400-pound weight,&#8221; Ramsey told him. &#8220;You sound scared to death.&#8221;
Ramsey urged the caller to sell the triplex immediately, ditch the expensive cars, and stop making financial decisions based on trying to keep his wife happy.
&#8220;You don&#8217;t get to be an investor in triplexes. That thing&#8217;s got to be priced in such a way that your real estate agent can sell it and get it gone,&#8221; Ramsey said. &#8220;We&#8217;re not worried about the environment right now. The environment I&#8217;m worried about is not being broke. Electric Hondas are gone. Bye-bye. We&#8217;re getting cheap cars.&#8221;
And regarding maternity leave, it&#8217;s a luxury they can&#8217;t afford: &#8220;I don&#8217;t really care what the Canadian government says. She gets to go to work. She&#8217;s broke. Broke people work.&#8221;

When the caller said his wife was only willing to sell everything except the house and the cars, Ramsey replied, &#8220;You've been running around trying to shovel things in her direction to keep her happy, like she's your child or something. That's not working.&#8221;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Way Out Will Be Hard</h2>
Ramsey said that with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/01/42771996/this-is-unhinged-a-reddit-user-asks-others-for-extreme-acts-of-frugality-they-witnessed-and-the-replies-are-shockingly-entertaining">intense budgeting</a> and lifestyle changes, the couple could eventually dig out. &#8220;Mathematically, I can get you out if you did everything I told you to do. But I don&#8217;t know if you&#8217;ll do it or not.&#8221;
Cruze added that their entire life will have to look &#8220;completely different&#8221; in the next three to six months if they want to survive this.

Dave Ramsey Caller Is Trying To Beat $1.8 Million In Debt With No Chips Or Haircuts—'My Doctor Says I Need A Healthy Work-Life Balance'

"The purest NBA guy" is how Hall of Fame center Shaquille O'Neal described former Lakers teammate Mark Madsen on Fox Sports' "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=81L2xNPdlf0">Fair Game</a>" in 2019.&nbsp;
He then quietly bought Madsen a custom $1,000 suit and arranged a discount on a pickup truck so the Stanford graduate could fit in among million-dollar wardrobes and luxury rides in the Lakers locker room.
The impromptu spree kicked off one of basketball's endearing mentor-rookie stories and still resonates in Berkeley two decades later.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">From Rookie Pay To NBA Polish</h2>
According to <a href="https://hoopshype.com/player/mark-madsen/salary/">Hoopshype</a>, Madsen went 29th overall in the 2000 draft and signed a three-year contract worth more than $2.2 million, according to the <a href="https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2000-jul-06-sp-48591-story.html">Los Angeles Times </a>at the time. That sum barely covered rent in Los Angeles, let alone the four-figure suits most veterans wore. So O'Neal asked the team tailor to cap an outfit at $1,000 and slipped the bill under Madsen's locker.
"He's the purest guy I've ever met in the NBA. I had to protect that," O'Neal said, adding that party invitations for the rookie were off-limits. Instead, he sealed the makeover by steering Madsen to a trusted car dealership, where a modest pickup came at a discount "because rookies need reliable, not flashy."

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Mentor Magic and Championship Runs</h2>
The gesture cemented a bond as O'Neal and Kobe Bryant led the Lakers to league titles in 2001 and 2002. In 2001 alone, Los Angeles posted a 15–1 postseason, one of the most dominant runs in NBA history, according to <a href="https://www.basketball-reference.com/playoffs/NBA_2001.html">Basketball-Reference</a>.
Madsen <a href="https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/m/madsema01.html">averaged</a> just 2.2 points and 2.6 rebounds per game, but his sideline dance during the 2002 parade still loops on arena jumbotrons.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">From Hardwood to Head Coach</h2>
After retiring, Madsen joined Utah Valley and then the Lakers as an assistant. In April 2023, he became head coach at the University of California. In his first season, Cal improved by 10 wins to finish with 13, despite grueling cross-country trips, <a href="https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/45027724/acc-report-cards-grades-2024-2025">ESPN reported</a>.&nbsp;
According to the <a href="https://www.sfchronicle.com/sports/college/article/cal-men-earn-1st-acc-win-beat-virginia-behind-20017104.php">San Francisco Chronicle</a>, momentum peaked in January when Cal beat Virginia 75-61 for its first ACC win. "This is the opening of a new chapter," Madsen said afterward. He added Cal "is going to be a powerhouse in the ACC."

O'Neal, meanwhile, has extended that mentorship beyond teammates.

Shaquille O'Neal Called Mark Madsen 'The Purest NBA Guy' — Then Got Him A $1,000 Custom Suit And Discounted Truck To Fit In On Rookie Pay

&#8220;How hard would it actually be for a millionaire to start from 0 again?&#8221; That was the question posed on Reddit&#8217;s <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/NoStupidQuestions/comments/1ljgcus/how_hard_would_it_actually_be_for_a_millionaire/">r/NoStupidQuestions</a> recently. The scenario: no money, no contacts, no LinkedIn. Just experience and mindset. Would it be enough?
The post resonated widely and sparked hundreds of thoughtful responses from users across all walks of life.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Connections Matter More Than Grit</h2>
Most agreed that without connections, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44440238/can-you-guess-how-much-you-need-to-build-generational-wealth-some-say-its-less-than-what-it-takes-to-feel-rich">rebuilding wealth</a> would be extremely difficult, even for someone who had done it before. &#8220;Zero dollars, pretty easy for many of them. Zero rich friends and contacts, they&#8217;re probably f&#x2A;&#x2A;&#x2A;ed,&#8221; one user said without embellishing.

Another top commenter wrote, &#8220;The biggest assets are your contact list and your reputation. If I know people, I can ask them for work, get credit, find buyers. Without that, you&#8217;re just another person.&#8221;
One Redditor argued that while a rich person might crash on a friend's guest bed, poor people often have no such help. &#8220;I was homeless for a brief but awful period&#8230; Within a month, I had exhausted all my options and was about to sleep on the sidewalk.&#8221;
Many pointed out that millionaire status often comes from owning a home and maxing out retirement accounts, not from running a successful company. &#8220;Millionaire at this point means HCOL homeowner,&#8221; one person said, referring to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45685741/the-cost-of-living-crisis-hits-hard-in-these-8-cities-where-you-need-to-earn-at-least-100k-to-live-c">high-cost-of-living areas</a>. Another added, &#8220;I&#8217;m technically a millionaire—about $1.6M net worth. If I had to produce $1M in cash&#8230; I&#8217;d be permanently worse off.&#8221;
People who <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/04/38359250/invest-for-the-decades-not-the-years">took decades to save and invest</a> wouldn&#8217;t have the time or energy to start over. &#8220;It took me 25 years with a high-paying job that let me save near 50%. I&#8217;d be dead before I could do it again,&#8221; one commenter said.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Luck And Timing Play A Huge Role</h2>
Plenty of people stressed the importance of good fortune. To them, most millionaires did not start from zero. They had family support, education and safety nets. As someone noted, luck is a huge factor. Right place, right time, right idea. Without that, it&#8217;s just wishful thinking.
Even Mark Cuban, quoted by several Redditors, has said he believes he <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/04/44657251/mark-cuban-said-billionaires-who-claim-they-could-do-it-all-again-are-lying-their-a-off-youve-got-to-have-luck-and-timing-to-get-rich">could become a millionaire again but not a billionaire</a>. Becoming a billionaire often comes down to being in the right place at the right time and taking big risks that happened to pay off, more than it does to effort or ability.
One person, who supposedly went bust at 23, losing all of their $1.5 million and recouping their wealth by 30, and more so, said, &#8220;Ask any multimillionaire and they'll all tell you the same: The first million was the hardest to earn. What made it uniquely difficult is what they had to learn along the way. Everything after that is mostly copy and paste, while remembering past mistakes.&#8221;
In the end, while millionaire experience might help someone avoid common mistakes, it&#8217;s no substitute for capital, connections, and safety nets.&nbsp;

Someone Asked, 'How Hard Would It Actually Be For A Millionaire To Start From 0 Again?' No Access To Old Networks, No LinkedIn, Nothing

Personal finance expert Suze Orman says she&#8217;s confident the stock market is headed higher, despite some alarming signs in the broader economy. In her recent <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eoC3d8kt6e4">video</a>, she acknowledged that things feel unstable right now, but urged her audience to stay calm and take a long-term view.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Unusual Economic Signals</h2>
&#8220;There is something going on in this economy that I really don&#8217;t like,&#8221; Orman said, citing how traditional patterns are breaking. Typically, when markets drop, investors move into bonds, causing bond prices to rise and interest rates to fall. But that hasn&#8217;t been happening. &#8220;Interest rates in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45654448/bond-market-caught-between-rate-cut-hopes-and-fed-cautionwhat-investors-can-do-now">bonds</a> went up and up and up,&#8221; she said. &#8220;That isn&#8217;t what you want to see in normal markets.&#8221;

</ul>
Another red flag: the U.S. dollar. Orman explained that during times of global uncertainty, foreign money usually flows into the dollar, strengthening it. But instead, &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/economic-data/25/06/45974992/everyone-now-hates-the-dollar-is-that-the-ultimate-buy-signal">the dollar has been getting weaker</a> and weaker and weaker.&#8221;
She suggested this could mean foreign investors are losing confidence in the U.S. &#8220;Maybe it&#8217;s that foreign countries don&#8217;t quite have the faith in us anymore that they used to. We haven&#8217;t exactly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44131125/tariff-update">been nice to them</a>.&#8221;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Shifting Her Own Strategy</h2>
With her own treasuries maturing, Orman said she is now choosing dividend-paying stocks instead of rolling her money back into treasuries. &#8220;Many <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-dividend-paying-stocks">dividend-paying stocks</a> right now are paying more in a dividend than the Treasury is paying in interest rates,&#8221; she said.

She emphasized the importance of dollar-cost averaging: investing smaller amounts over time. This way, if stock prices fall, investors can buy more shares. &#8220;Even if it goes down because the markets go down&#8230; [your] income is fixed in the dividend, [so] your interest rate also goes up in there,&#8221; she explained.
One example she gave was Pfizer (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PFE#NYSE">PFE</a>), which has been trading around $24 a share with a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/content/45601072/pfizers-7-5-dividend-income-haven-or-house-of-cards">dividend yield of about 7%</a>. &#8220;Now, is it possible that maybe they could cut the dividend? They&#8217;re not going to get rid of the dividend, as far as I&#8217;m concerned.&#8221;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Staying Invested In The Future</h2>
Orman advised investors to focus on sectors that reflect the future, particularly artificial intelligence and technology. She specifically recommended ETFs like VanEck Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMH#NASDAQ">SMH</a>) and Invesco QQQ Trust (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>). &#8220;I want you to be investing in the future, not in the past anymore,&#8221; she said. &#8220;Artificial intelligence has absolutely changed the face of money and the face of the future.&#8221;

Despite today's economic uncertainty, Orman remains optimistic. &#8220;Believe it or not, I have total belief that these markets are going to continue up without a shadow of a doubt,&#8221; she said. Even if she turns out to be only half right, she advised investors to act accordingly: invest 50% now and the rest later if prices fall.
&#8220;I&#8217;m still a total believer in the stock market. I think it is very, very possible you could see the [<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/long-ideas/25/06/45932660/exclusive-sp-500-new-all-time-highs-again-2025">S&amp;P 500</a>] skyrocket. I am a total believer in dividend-paying stocks,&#8221; she said. And if you don't need the income now, she added, &#8220;it is essential that you are reinvesting those dividends.&#8221;

Suze Orman Believes The Stock Market Will Continue Climbing 'Without A Shadow Of A Doubt'

According to a report, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu utilized his son&#8217;s wedding as a smokescreen for war preparations against Iran.
What Happened: Netanyahu announced his intention to attend his son&#8217;s wedding on June 16, a move that was actually a diversion to conceal Israel&#8217;s inaugural&nbsp;attack on Iran on June&nbsp;13. 
The Prime Minister&#8217;s family was kept in the dark about his plans to call off the wedding.
The clandestine operation, codenamed &#8220;Red Wedding&#8221;, was orchestrated to create the illusion that Israel was pursuing&nbsp;a diplomatic resolution to the&nbsp;conflict with the United States. 
Simultaneously, a covert missile strike was initiated, resulting in the death of&nbsp;Iranian nuclear scientists in their&nbsp;residences.

As per the report <a href="https://www.wsj.com/world/middle-east/israel-iran-attack-operation-narnia-a2c38ace?mod=hp_lead_pos1">by</a> The Wall Street Journal, Netanyahu&#8217;s actions provoked a strong response from Israeli citizens. Detractors, including members of The Democrats party and journalists, accused him of being egocentric. This marked the second instance of his son&#8217;s wedding being deferred due to the war.
Subsequent to the attack, the U.S. carried out additional bombings on Iran&#8217;s nuclear facilities until a fragile ceasefire was negotiated on June 23. The condition of Iran&#8217;s nuclear apparatus and the longevity of the ceasefire are yet to be determined.
Why It Matters: This incident underscores the lengths to which political leaders may go to protect their national interests. 
The use of a personal event as a cover for military operations is a stark reminder of the complexities and deceptions that can be involved in international politics and warfare. 
The fallout from this operation and its impact on the region&#8217;s stability is yet to be fully understood.

Happy Birthday Elon Musk! 54 Things You Might Not Know About Earth's Temporary Resident

A top-ranking executive at&nbsp;Meta Platforms Inc. has leveled accusations of dishonesty against Sam Altman, the leader of OpenAI. 
What Happened: The allegations pertain to claims of $100 million signing bonuses offered by Meta to lure leading AI researchers away from OpenAI. Andrew Bosworth, Meta&#8217;s Chief Technology Officer, refuted Altman&#8217;s allegations during a company-wide meeting last week. 
Bosworth stated that Altman was implying that every individual was being offered such a lucrative package, a claim he deemed as an overstatement.
Altman had earlier sparked a debate by stating on the &#8220;Uncapped&#8221; podcast that Meta had started making significant offers to several members of his team. However, he also mentioned that none of their top talents had accepted these offers.
"Sam is just being dishonest here. He's suggesting that we're doing this for every single person… Look, you guys, the market's hot. It's not that hot," Bosworth said during the meeting. 
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/05/45338125/openais-sam-altman-reaches-out-o-elon-musk-amid-ongoing-social-media-spat-lets-be-friends">OpenAI&#8217;s Sam Altman Reaches Out to Elon Musk Amid Ongoing Social Media Spat: &#8216;Let&#8217;s Be Friends&#8217;</a>
Contrary to Altman&#8217;s statements, a number of OpenAI researchers have since transitioned to Meta. Lucas Beyer, one of the researchers who made the switch, confirmed his move but denied receiving a $100 million sign-on bonus.
As per the report <a href="https://www.theverge.com/command-line-newsletter/694028/meta-openai-100-million-bonus-talent-war">by </a>The Verge, Bosworth contended that Altman&#8217;s claims were missing vital context and accused him of creating a niche market for a very select group of people in senior leadership roles. 
He suggested that Altman was blowing things out of proportion because Meta was successfully attracting talent from OpenAI.
"What Sam neglects to mention is that he's countering all these offers, creating a small market for a very, very small number of people who are for senior, senior leadership roles," Bosworth added.
Why It Matters: The allegations and counter-allegations between Meta and OpenAI highlight the intense competition in the AI industry for top talent. The claims of $100 million signing bonuses, whether true or exaggerated, underscore the high stakes involved in this sector. 
The movement of researchers from OpenAI to Meta, despite Altman&#8217;s assertions, indicates a shift in the balance of power. This development could potentially impact the future trajectory of AI research and development.

Meta Exec Dismisses OpenAI's Sam Altman's Claims of $100 Million Signing Bonuses: 'Sam Is Just Being Dishonest Here'

In a 2017 interview, former Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/16/12/8845840/the-team-that-built-the-iphone-who-were-they-and-where-are-they-now">executives</a> recalled how building the first iPhone felt like "Fight Club"—total secrecy, intense pressure and a once-in-a-lifetime mission.
What Happened: More than a decade after the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/01/30336631/the-iphone-was-unveiled-16-years-ago-heres-how-much-1-000-invested-in-apple-stock-after-the-debut-is">iPhone's launch</a>, key members of Apple's original team—including Scott Forstall, Tony Fadell, and Greg Christie—opened up about the secretive, high-stakes process of inventing one of the world's most iconic devices in an interview with the Wall Street Journal.
The project was code-named Project Purple and secrecy was paramount. "We put a poster up on the wall," said Forstall, referring to the poster of Brad Pitt and Edward Norton&#8217;s movie Fight Club. The first rule of Project Purple was you don't talk about Project Purple.
The team operated in complete isolation, even from other Apple employees. Hardware and software teams were often siloed and most of the company had no idea what was being built.

"Not one person knew what iPhone was gonna look like right before that keynote. People thought they knew that Apple was doing the phone, but nobody knew what they were going to see that day," Christie recalled.
It wasn't just secret—it was grueling. "168 hours a week for two weeks," Forstall said, describing the round-the-clock sprint that ultimately nailed the iPhone's core interface.
Fadell also described the early prototype process as "a rollercoaster ride," with the first attempts at an iPod-like phone quickly abandoned.
The iPhone's breakthrough moment came when the then CEO Steve Jobs asked whether the company's multitouch technology—originally meant for a tablet—could be shrunk down for a phone.&nbsp;
The team mocked up a prototype the size of a ping-pong table. "It was like a Big Mac," Fadell said.
One of the hardest challenges? The keyboard. Forstall froze all other UI work until the software keyboard was fixed. The team built dozens of versions, he said. One engineer's predictive typing system ended up forming the foundation of the keyboard we still use today.

Why It's Important: Apple first introduced the iPhone on Jan. 9, 2007, during the Macworld event in San Francisco, presenting it as a device that merged a mobile phone, a widescreen iPod and an internet communicator.
The company revealed plans to launch the iPhone in the U.S. in June 2007, followed by a rollout in Europe later that year and in Asia in 2008.
Priced at $499 and $599 in the U.S., the iPhone officially <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/20/10/18058216/heres-how-much-investing-1-000-in-apple-the-day-the-first-iphone-debuted-would-be-worth-today">hit the market on June 29</a>, 2007, marking a pivotal moment in the company&#8217;s product history.
Last month, Apple posted fiscal <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45152493/apple-reports-strong-q2-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-beat-installed-base-hits-all-time-high-across-all-segments-100-billion-buyback-and-more">second-quarter revenue</a> of $95.36 billion, surpassing analyst expectations of $94.53 billion. Revenue from iPhone sales came in at $46.84 billion, up from $45.96 billion in the same quarter last year.
However, the company is currently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46068152/whats-next-for-apple-chamath-palihapitiya-fires-back-dont-think-they-have-any-chance-of-anything-dismisses-glasses-and-ai-hopes">facing doubts about its ability</a> to stay ahead in the AI race, especially when compared to more agile startups and rivals like Alphabet Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Google and Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>).
Benzinga&#8217;s Edge Stock Rankings indicate a persistent decline in Apple&#8217;s performance across short, medium and long-term timeframes. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Additional performance insights can be found here</a>.

Steve Jobs Took Secrecy To Fight Club Levels For This Critical Mission At Apple — 'People Thought They Knew…But Nobody Knew'

Global financier and longtime Trump associate Gentry Beach is reportedly negotiating for control of the Rubaya coltan mine in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The Trump administration-backed initiative, accompanied by support from a consortium including the Swiss trading house Mercuria, shows the current preference for the US engagement with Africa through <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/rumors/25/05/45607960/dr-congo-to-finalize-minerals-deal-with-washington-in-june">high-stakes investment deals</a> rather than traditional diplomacy.
The US views these deals as a means to mitigate China's strategic dominance in Africa's mineral supply chains. "When the US stepped in, they wanted to frame their approach to a peace settlement differently than in the past," said one regional participant, quoted anonymously <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/91a66fc6-28e7-4320-a537-eeb8fac34f0d">by</a> the Financial Times. "They were looking at what the business and economic side of the deal would be that allows this region to prosper, so we don't get back into this all over."
The US-led negotiations aim to broker a peace deal between the DRC and neighboring Rwanda, whose backing of the M23 rebel group has fueled violence in eastern Congo. The talks include a proposed ceasefire and militia disarmament, with a draft agreement endorsed last week by the foreign ministers of both countries.
As reported by the Financial Times, the Rubaya mine is central to these efforts, potentially requiring over $500 million in investment, and is envisioned as a future legal export hub via a new smelter in Rwanda.
Beach, a former Morgan Stanley investment banker, a seasoned hedge fund manager, and a finance co-chair of Donald Trump's 2016 campaign, is the distinctive name in the Rubaya deal. Notably, he has previous experience in the region, having participated in a 2004 mining venture with the late NBA legend Dikembe Mutombo. Although Beach is close friends with Donald Trump Jr., the Trump family has no direct involvement in the Rubaya project, according to sources familiar with the matter.
Rubaya is among the most lucrative coltan deposits in the world. Coltan (short for columbite-tantalite) yields tantalum and niobium, critical elements in smartphones, aircraft engines, and missile components. In 2023, the DRC supplied roughly 40% of global coltan, according to the US Geological Survey. The mine has been a focal point in eastern Congo's decades-long conflict and was recently seized by M23 rebels, who have taxed its production.
Beyond coltan, the region is also rich in copper, cobalt, and gold, all of which are important to global clean energy supply chains. Recent initiatives include those of Blackwater founder Erik Prince, who was connected to a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44885311/blackwater-founder-reaches-a-security-deal-with-dr-congo">security deal</a> involving copper assets in the Katanga region.
Price Watch: iShares MSCI Global Metals &amp; Mining Producers ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PICK#BATS">PICK</a>) is up 8.09% year-to-date.

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.
