Lumen Technologies

With 450,000 route miles of fiber, Lumen Technologies is one of the United States' largest telecommunications carriers serving global enterprises. Its merger with Level 3 in 2017 and divestiture of much of its incumbent local exchange carrier, or ILEC, business in 2022 has shifted the company's operations away from its legacy consumer business and toward enterprises (now about 75% of revenue). Lumen offers businesses a full menu of communications services, providing colocation and data center services, data transportation, and end-user phone and internet service. On the consumer side, Lumen provides broadband and phone service across 37 states, where it has 4.5 million broadband customers.

The week was a whirlwind of economic and political events that kept the markets on their toes. From tariff concerns voiced by&nbsp;Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.)&nbsp;to&nbsp;Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell&#8216;s firm stance on inflation, the week was filled with significant developments. Let&#8217;s dive into the top stories of the week.
Mitch McConnell Criticizes Trump&#8217;s Tariff Plans
Senator Mitch McConnell expressed his apprehensions over President Donald Trump's tariff policies, warning of a potential trade war and subsequent price inflation for U.S. consumers and businesses. McConnell&#8217;s concerns were voiced in an op-ed published in Louisville's Courier-Journal. Trump, known for his support of tariffs, recently implemented widespread import duties on Canada, Mexico, and China, along with additional tariffs on steel and aluminum imports.

Powell To Congress: Fed &#8216;Not There Yet&#8217; On Inflation
Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell reiterated a firm stance on the central bank&#8217;s monetary policy path, indicating that while inflation is moderating, it hasn&#8217;t cooled enough to justify rate cuts. Powell hinted that further progress is needed to reach the Fed&#8217;s 2% inflation target.

Mitch McConnell's Tariff Concerns, Jerome Powell's Inflation Stance, Trudeau's Tariff Slam, Inflation Surge, And More: This Week In Economics

The past week has been a whirlwind of news, with the spotlight on Elon Musk&#8216;s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and its access to federal payment systems, the impact of President Donald Trump&#8216;s tariffs on the soda industry, and more. Let&#8217;s dive into the details.
Treasury Probes DOGE&#8217;s Access to Payment Systems The Treasury Department&#8217;s Office of Inspector General has initiated an audit of security controls for federal payment systems, following concerns about access granted to DOGE, an initiative tied to Elon Musk. The review comes in the wake of concerns raised by Democratic lawmakers over potential improper access and implications for government financial security. The audit will assess federal payment system security over the past two years, specifically investigating allegations of fraudulent access and potential misuse tied to DOGE&#8217;s involvement. =

Morgan Stanley&#8217;s CIO Sees DOGE as Potential Economic Booster Mike Wilson, Morgan Stanley&#8217;s chief investment officer, has suggested that DOGE, led by Musk, could play a pivotal role in revitalizing the US economy. Wilson noted that DOGE has already pinpointed tens of billions in government waste, and a reduction in government size could lead to increased unemployment and prompt the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates.

Trump&#8217;s Tariffs and the Soda Industry U.S. soft drinks primarily use high fructose corn syrup instead of sugar, a practice dating back to a trade barrier imposed by former President Ronald Reagan in the 1980s. This policy continues to shape today&#8217;s trade landscape, where President Donald Trump&#8217;s tariffs continue to impact global policy.

Musk's DOGE Under Treasury Scrutiny, Trump's Tariffs Impacting Soda Industry, And More

<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/01/43276105/trumps-tax-plan-could-slash-social-security-benefits-33-by-2035-ramsey-show-host-george-kamel-weighs-in">President Donald Trump</a> has announced a new wave of tariffs on steel and aluminum imports, aiming to strengthen domestic manufacturing while introducing a &#8220;reciprocal tariff&#8221; system that could significantly impact international trade.
On Sunday, Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One that his administration would implement a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/02/43613133/trumps-25-tarrifs-a-self-inflicted-wound-says-economist-amid-warnings-of-fewer-american-jobs-peter-schiff-says-youll-pay-more-for-cars-and-homes">25% tariff on all steel and aluminum imports</a> to the United States, building upon his previous trade policies from his first term. Trump also emphasized the need for a level playing field in global trade by implementing reciprocal tariffs, stating, &#8220;If they charge us, we charge them.&#8221;

True to his word, the steel and aluminum tariff proclamations were signed Monday, to go into effect March 12. These proclamations remove exemptions from Trump&#8217;s 2018 tariffs on the metals–which previously made the tariffs ineffective for several countries, including Canada and Mexico–and raised the tariffs from 10% to 25% for all steel and aluminum imports.&nbsp;
Alongside the metals tariffs, Trump also plans to introduce a reciprocal tariff policy that will match the rates imposed by other countries on American exports. He has long been vocal about trade imbalances, particularly the European Union's 10% tariff on U.S. automobiles compared to the 2.5% tariff the U.S. levies on European cars. Trump argues disparities like that put American industries at a disadvantage and that imposing matching tariffs will restore fairness in trade agreements.

While the full details of this policy are expected in an upcoming press conference, the new tariff structure could have widespread implications for global commerce, affecting industries from automotive manufacturing to whiskey distillation.&nbsp;
Chris Swonger, CEO of the Distilled Spirits Council of the United States, expressed concern over potential EU retaliation. "A 50% tariff on America&#8217;s native spirit will have a catastrophic outcome for the 3,000 small distilleries across the United States," Swonger <a href="https://www.reuters.com/markets/commodities/trump-says-he-will-announce-25-steel-aluminum-tariffs-monday-2025-02-09/">told Reuters</a>.&nbsp;
There have been mixed responses to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/02/43686104/mitch-mcconnell-criticizes-trumps-tariff-plans-warns-of-potential-price-hike-big-lingering-concerns-for-american-industry-and-workers">Trump's tariff plans</a>. Supporters of the tariffs, including the American Iron and Steel Institute, say the move is a necessary step toward protecting U.S. manufacturers from what they view as unfair foreign competition.&nbsp;
&#8220;We look forward to working closely with the President and his administration to implement a robust and reinvigorated trade agenda to address the many foreign market-distorting policies and practices that create an unlevel playing field for American steelmakers,&#8221; AISI President Kevin Dempsey told Reuters.&nbsp;
Trending: If there was a new fund backed by Jeff Bezos offering a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/arrived-private-credit-fund">7-9% target yield with monthly dividends would you invest in it</a>?
Critics argue that increased tariffs could lead to higher costs for U.S. manufacturers that rely on steel and aluminum, ultimately affecting prices for consumers. Canada, a major supplier of aluminum to the U.S., has voiced opposition.&nbsp;
Canadian Innovation Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne <a href="https://x.com/FP_Champagne/status/1889108709017596043">said on X</a>: "Steel and aluminum tariffs on Canada, the United States' closest ally, would be totally unjustified. Canadian steel and aluminum support key industries in the U.S. from defence, shipbuilding, energy to automotive. This is making North America more competitive and secure. We are consulting with our international partners as we examine the details. Our response will be clear and calibrated."&nbsp;&nbsp;
Experts warn that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/02/43575447/u-s-shoppers-and-businesses-shocked-by-high-ups-and-dhl-import-duty-fees-as-china-tariffs-kick-in">increased import costs</a> could lead to higher prices for goods that rely on steel and aluminum, such as cars, appliances, and construction materials. Benn Steil, director of international economics at the Council on Foreign Relations, <a href="https://apnews.com/article/trump-tariffs-steel-aluminum-china-canada-mexico-0a91ceaf3aa3c1756c339817d1d58076">told the Associated Press</a> that &#8220;the costs to the U.S. will include higher prices to U.S. consumers, retaliatory tariffs abroad, and the loss of U.S. jobs and competitiveness in firms hit by higher input costs.&#8221;

Despite these concerns, Trump maintains that the tariffs will drive industrial growth in the U.S., saying, &#8220;It's time for our great industries to come back to America.&#8221; However, some analysts question whether the economic benefits will outweigh the risks, especially if major trading partners retaliate with tariffs of their own.
As the new tariffs take effect, global markets and industries will closely watch how trading partners respond. Countries affected by these policies may seek to negotiate exemptions or implement countermeasures, potentially leading to trade disputes. Additionally, the impact on inflation, manufacturing, and employment within the U.S. will be key factors in assessing the long-term effectiveness of these policies.
For now, businesses, policymakers, and consumers alike are bracing for the changes ahead as Trump&#8217;s tariff strategy sets the stage for another chapter in U.S. trade relations.

'If They Charge Us, We Charge Them' – Trump's Reciprocal Tariff Plan For Steel And Aluminum

The trend of institutional funds and big investment groups buying large tranches of single-family homes has been blamed for exacerbating America's housing affordability crisis. Some states, such as California and New York, have even introduced legislation that would curb or outlaw the practice entirely. Now, Wall Street investors are exiting the market, and a recent study shows this could have a reverse boomerang effect that leaves many American homes overvalued by as much as 35%.
This could create a financial nightmare for millions of American homeowners, whose net worth is often tied to their home's value. <a href="https://www.wsj.com/real-estate/wall-street-thinks-u-s-homes-are-overpriced-1fc1c18d">The Wall Street Journal reported</a> that real estate analytics firm Green Street reached those conclusions after analyzing the property portfolios of some of America's biggest landlords.&nbsp;

It revealed a huge disparity between stock prices for some of America's biggest<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-in-single-family-rentals"> single-family rental</a> landlords, like Invitation Homes (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INVH#NYSE">INVH</a>) and American Homes 4 Rent (NYSE:<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AMH"> AMH</a>), and their net asset values, the report said.&nbsp;
The analysis shows that the value of Invitation Homes shares translates to home values of around $310,000 in areas where the home's "current market values" are around $415,000. That large disparity is a cause for concern among Green Street's analysts. The firm's managing director, John Pawlawski, told The Journal, "Share prices are signaling that single-family-home prices are too high and not sustainable."
It's long been speculated that the tremendous buying power of institutional investors, who are known to buy hundreds of homes in single markets at once, is one of the main contributing factors to America's housing affordability crisis. Their simultaneous exit from the market en masse could slow property appreciation rates in many of America's biggest real estate markets.&nbsp;

During their more aggressive buying sprees, institutional landlords relied on deep pockets and lower interest rates to muscle their way into the real estate market, much to the chagrin of first-time buyers who couldn't compete. Meanwhile, those already fortunate enough to be homeowners reaped benefits in the form of faster appreciation.
However, that accelerated appreciation and the post-COVID run-up in interest rates appear to have changed the equation for many institutional landlords. Most institutional landlords target capitalization rates between 5% to 6% to generate<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/real-estate-investment-strategies"> passive income for investors</a>, but current home values and interest rates are putting potential returns in the 4% range. That may explain why they slowed their buying down in Q3 2024.&nbsp;

The downstream effect of a once abundant source of capital suddenly being removed from the market is that sellers and developers can no longer rely on big-pocketed investors to take on huge chunks of housing inventory all at once. That will likely lead to homes staying on the market longer and selling for less, which would inevitably eat into current home valuations when appraisers find cheaper comps in various real estate markets.
Who wins and who loses in Green Street's scenario depends on your place in the real estate market. Would-be buyers will likely cheer the potential price reductions. However, homeowners may lament the continued absence of institutional landlords if Green Street's analysis is accurate, and their properties are overvalued by 35%.

Homeowners Beware: Wall Street Analysts Think Your Property Could Be Overvalued By Almost 40%

Doctors are ditching the hospital grind for corporate boardrooms. And with $275,000 salaries, better hours, and less stress, it's easy to see why.
The rise of chief medical officers in tech, startups, and even companies like Google and Salesforce (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRM#NASDAQ">CRM</a>) is pulling more doctors away from clinical roles. They're trading 12-hour shifts for leadership positions that still <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/partner/health-care/25/01/42901251/the-silent-revenue-killer-in-us-healthcare-and-the-tech-that-is-fighting-back">impact healthcare</a>—just on a bigger scale.
Why Doctors Are Making the Switch
For Dr. Lisa Shah, the shift was about scale. She loved treating patients but left exhausted every day. Losing them took a toll.

</ul>
Now, as CMO at Twin Health, a health tech startup using AI to monitor metabolism, she's helping treat populations instead of just one patient at a time.
&#8220;We&#8217;re seeing a lot of chief medical officers coming on board to grant that clinical, medical legitimacy to whatever products people are developing,&#8221; Chris Myers, a Johns Hopkins professor, told Business Insider.
The COVID-19 pandemic only accelerated the trend. Burnout soared. A Bain &amp; Company survey found that one in four clinicians were considering leaving medicine.
And the pay? Still solid. ZipRecruiter (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ZIP#NYSE">ZIP</a>) says CMOs earn around $275,000 per year—comparable with a doctor's salary but without the brutal hours.

A Growing Trend in Health Tech
Health tech is booming. It's expected to hit $1.5 trillion by 2032, growing at nearly 19% per year, <a href="https://rockhealth.com/insights/2023-q1-digital-health-funding-investing-like-its-2019/">according to researchers at Rock Health</a>.&nbsp;
That means more companies need medical expertise—and they're hiring doctors to provide it.
Dr. Guy Maytal spent nearly two decades in psychiatry before joining Forge Health, a startup focused on mental health and substance use treatment.
"I could grumble on the sidelines, or roll up my sleeves and do something about it," he told Business Insider.

The Role of CMOs in Business
Tech giants are getting in on the action. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/02/43616463/salesforce-and-aws-pledge-500m-to-boost-ai-development-in-saudi-arabia">Salesforce</a> hired a CMO in 2019 to focus on employee health. Google added its first chief health officer the same year.
At Uber Health, Dr. Joshua Sclar now works on getting patients to medical appointments and delivering medications.
&#8220;Being a physician, I know what happens when that care is missed,&#8221; he told Business Insider.
But adjusting to corporate life isn't always easy. Dr. Nikole Benders-Hadi, CMO at TalkSpace (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TALK#NASDAQ">TALK</a>), says her biggest challenge was learning to communicate with business leaders who don't speak &#8220;doctor.&#8221;
&#8220;There can be really different end goals when you&#8217;re talking about business objectives versus healthcare objectives,&#8221; she said.

A Lifeline for Overworked Doctors?
For doctors used to on-call shifts, patient loss, and insurance battles, moving to a CMO role reduces emotional toll.
"These jobs seem stressful, but they're not life and death," said Dr. Jonathan Jaffery of the Association of American Medical Colleges.
And while America faces a shortage of 86,000 physicians by 2036, many believe CMOs aren't the problem—they're part of the solution.
Dr. Nate Favini, CMO of Pair Team, a startup connecting Medicaid patients to care, thinks technology will help fix the system.
"There's a massive opportunity to harness tech to deliver better care at a fraction of the cost," he told Business Insider.
Doctors aren't just leaving medicine. They're changing it.

On Feb. 7, <a href="https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/315090/000095017025018266/xslF345X05/ownership.xml">Berkshire added 763,017 shares </a>to its portfolio for about $35.7 million.&nbsp;
That brings its total stake in the <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/warren-buffett-berkshire-hathaway-grows-stake-in-occidental-petroleum-11678787">Houston-based oil and gas giant to 28.3%</a>, making it Occidental's largest shareholder. <a href="https://www.investors.com/news/warren-buffett-berkshire-hathaway-cash-on-hand-to-work/">According to Investors Business Daily</a>, this follows a pattern—Berkshire has been steadily increasing its investment despite Occidental's stock taking a hit in recent months.

</ul>
The company's stock has had a rough ride, <a href="https://www.macrotrends.net/stocks/charts/OXY/occidental-petroleum/stock-price-history">down nearly 32% from its peak in April</a>. Last year alone, it dropped more than 17%, mostly due to weakening oil prices.&nbsp;
Declining crude oil prices have put pressure on energy stocks across the board, and Occidental hasn't been an exception. Even so, Buffett doesn't seem worried.
This isn't the first time Berkshire has jumped in during a downturn. In December, it <a href="https://occidentalpetroleum.gcs-web.com/node/27696/html">scooped up another 8.9 million shares </a>when the market dipped.&nbsp;
Berkshire's ties to Occidental run deeper than just common stock. It played a key role in Occidental's $55 billion purchase of Anadarko Petroleum in 2019, <a href="https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/797468/000095015719000504/form425.htm">pumping in $10 billion</a> in exchange for preferred stock.&nbsp;

That deal came with an 8% annual dividend, which means Berkshire is pocketing about $800 million a year just from those shares. On top of that, it holds warrants to buy another 80 million shares at an exercise price of $62.50. Investor's Business Daily said this gives Berkshire even more potential upside if Occidental's stock climbs.
Despite regulatory approval to buy up to 50% of Occidental, Buffett has made it clear he's not planning a takeover.
<a href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/warren-buffett-berkshire-hathaway-occidental-petroleum-energy-stock-earnings-call-2022-3">Business Insider reported</a> that he first got interested in the company after reading a transcript of its earnings call and liking what he saw. That's been his approach for decades—digging into a company's fundamentals before making a move.
See Also: If there was a new fund backed by Jeff Bezos offering a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/arrived-private-credit-fund">7-9% target yield with monthly dividends would you invest in it</a>?
Meanwhile, Occidental has been focused on paying down debt. By the end of <a href="https://www.oxy.com/news/news-releases/occidental-announces-3rd-quarter-2024-results/">Q3 2024,</a> it had already knocked out $4 billion, reaching about 90% of its short-term debt reduction goal. As mentioned by Oxy, this is part of a broader strategy to shore up the company's financial position.
For investors, dividends are another draw. <a href="https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/stocks/oxy/dividend-history">Occidental offers a 1.8% yield</a>, making it an attractive choice for those looking for steady returns. The company is also making moves in carbon capture technology, which could position it well for the future as energy companies face increasing pressure to reduce emissions. This shift aligns with broader industry trends favoring sustainability.
Occidental's stock closed at <a href="https://www.marketwatch.com/data-news/apa-corp-stock-falls-4-0-underperforms-competitors-48270fd7-205fdaac588c">$47.83 on Feb. 12</a>, slipping 1.60% for the day. As Barron's noted, oil price fluctuations continue to impact the stock, but Berkshire's commitment suggests confidence in its long-term potential.

Occidental Petroleum Stock Is Down 32% – But Warren Buffett Keeps Buying More. Does He Know Something the Market Doesn't?

The house always wins. While that adage is often used in casinos, it also holds true for one of the biggest gambles in business: restaurants. Ask Gordon Ramsay, the global culinary icon with an empire of 88 restaurants, eight Michelin Stars, and a slew of top-rated TV shows. The Scottish-born chef was recently interviewed on the First We Feast <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43479274/alphabet-q4-earnings-highlights-ai-cloud-youtube-momentum-continues-capex-guidance-sends-shares-lower">YouTube</a> channel. He was unequivocal when host Sean Evans asked about the hidden costs of running a restaurant.
&#8220;Yeah it&#8217;s called rent and labor costs — two big key factors in running a successful business,&#8221; Ramsey said. The media icon, known for lambasting hapless cooks with a tirade of expletives, said, &#8220;Landlords — they win either way. So the more successful you are, the more rent they ask for. The less successful you are, the more demanding they are after the rent.&#8221;

</ul>
Other than the quality of the food, location plays a prime role in determining a restaurant&#8217;s success. Landlords can charge top-of-the-market rents for prime locations. Regardless of the business&#8217;s success or failings, the cost of rent remains constant. Unlike many chefs, however, Ramsay&#8217;s business is bolstered by his star power and global recognition, resulting in a steady stream of customers wanting to eat at his establishments. The strategy has paid off. Ramsay's net worth is around $220 million, according to the <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-14279891/world-richest-chef-gordon-ramsay-jamie-oliver-twice-fortune.html">Daily Mail</a>.

His TV success has been a steady climb after starring in the British cooking shows, &#8220;Boiling Point&#8221; (a documentary), &#8220;The F-Word,&#8221; &#8220;Hell&#8217;s Kitchen,&#8221; and &#8220;Kitchen Nightmares,&#8221; before debuting in 2005 with &#8220;Hell&#8217;s Kitchen,&#8221; on Fox, followed by &#8220;Kitchen Nightmares,&#8221; in 2007. By 2020,<a href="https://www.forbes.com/profile/gordon-ramsay/#1d2e03bb4530"> Forbes</a> reported that Ramsay&#8217;s shows generated $150 million in yearly ad sales for the network and that his net worth was $70 million.&nbsp;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Deepening The Fox Relationship</h2>
In 2021, Ramsay and Fox announced a joint partnership with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/25/01/43317260/kansas-city-chiefs-help-cbs-break-afc-championship-record-will-super-bowl-viewership-hit-new-highs">Fox</a> for Studio Ramsay Global to produce new Ramsey featured shows, including &#8220;Kitchen Nightmares,&#8221; &#8220;Gordon Ramsay&#8217;s Food Stars,&#8221; and &#8220;Next Level Chef,&#8221; along with shows featuring other chefs, such as National Geographic&#8217;s &#8220;No Taste Like Home.&#8221;
In 2024, Ramsay and Fox launched <a href="https://www.foxflash.com/releases/view/gordon-ramsay-and-fox-entertainment-launch-bite-a-next-gen-global-food-brand-and-entertainment-platform-comprehensive-multi-category-culinary-and-life">Bite</a>, a global food brand and platform offering a range of online digital content, products, and live global food experiences.
&#8220;Bite is an innovative fusion of my nearly 20-year collaboration with Fox, blending all the experiences, excitement, competition, and personality we&#8217;ve created together under this original, singular food and lifestyle venture,&#8221; said Ramsay. &#8220;This new brand will cater to every flavor of food fan with an enticing array of original series, compelling food stories, and endless digital content that audiences everywhere will eat up!&#8221;&nbsp;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Restaurant Empire</h2>
Ramsay&#8217;s knowledge of dealing with landlords is well-founded. His restaurant empire has grown in tandem with his TV success. In 2018, he began opening a series of US-based restaurants, Hell's Kitchen, named after the TV show, one of the most successful being the flagship in Las Vegas. It also made the No. 3 spot on Yelp&#8217;s list of the <a href="https://www.yelp.com/collection/N7fY-Marn9QcxPA6TcFEjA/Most-Photographed-Restaurants-2024">most photographed restaurants</a> of 2024. To date, there are seven Hell's Kitchen restaurants across the US.
In 2019, Ramsay signed a deal with private equity firm Lion Capital to form Gordon Ramsay North America. The deal was worth a reported $100 million, with Ramsay and Lion having an equal stake in the subsidiary. Though initially planned as a venture to open <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/chloesorvino/2019/06/26/gordon-ramsay-plots-100-us-restaurants-with-new-private-equity-deal/#6736b9af7b84">100 restaurants</a> in the United States by 2024, the COVID-19 pandemic dampened those ambitions.
Although Ramsey has claimed to have lost $80 million in revenue in the UK during the pandemic, he appears to have bounced back since. <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14355391/gordon-ramsay-four-new-restaurants-building-london.html">According to the Daily Mail,</a> Ramsay recently opened four new restaurants in the same London building.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Other Entrepreneurial Spin-offs</h2>

Women Grow Foundation: New 501(c)(3) to Provide Advocacy and Resources for Cannabis Entrepreneurs

&nbsp;Jack Dorsey, co-founder of Twitter, now known as X, has shed light on the accelerated growth of Bluesky, attributing it to a mass exodus of users from X.
What Happened: In a recent podcast, Dorsey voiced his belief that users are &#8220;running away from X, rather&nbsp;than running to something on&nbsp;Bluesky&#8221;.
Bluesky, which began&nbsp;as an internal project at&nbsp;Twitter, was launched as a separate&nbsp;public benefit corporation in 2021.&nbsp;The platform witnessed&nbsp;a surge in user signups&nbsp;in November, which coincided with a wave of users departing from&nbsp;X following the election of&nbsp;President Trump, who was financially backed by Elon Musk, the current owner of X.
&#8220;I think people are running away from X, rather than running to something on Bluesky. That&#8217;s not a great way to build a product, unfortunately. We want people that are running to us for a particular thing that they couldn&#8217;t do before,&#8221; as quoted <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/jack-dorsey-people-running-away-from-x-bluesky-growth-2025-2">by </a>Insider he said in the podcast.
Despite stepping down&nbsp;from Bluesky&#8217;s board of directors&nbsp;last year, Dorsey maintains a positive outlook on the platform&#8217;s future. He underscored the platform&#8217;s distinctive feature that allows users to select their own algorithms as a major draw for users.
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/04/32099402/jack-dorsey-says-elon-musk-shouldnt-have-bought-twitter-he-should-have-walked-away">Jack Dorsey Says Elon Musk Shouldn&#8217;t Have Bought Twitter: &#8216;He Should Have Walked Away&#8217;</a>
&#8220;Bluesky has built something that I wanted it to build and I&#8217;m excited about, which is this algorithm store, being able to choose your own algorithms,&#8221; he added.
&#8220;That is a reason why people will run to it eventually, and I think why people run to these services eventually because they get more agency and more control — but it&#8217;s not something that people care about right now,&#8221; he said. 
Bluesky&#8217;s CEO, Jay Graber, has reassured that the platform is &#8220;billionaire-proof&#8221; and presents a radically different approach to social media, emphasizing user control and open-source development.
Why It Matters: The rapid growth of Bluesky and the mass exodus from X signify a shift in user preferences in the social media landscape. Users are increasingly seeking platforms that offer greater control and transparency, as evidenced by Bluesky&#8217;s unique feature of allowing users to choose their own algorithms. 
This trend could potentially reshape the future of social media, with platforms like Bluesky leading the way.

Yet the company is facing challenges in the competitive brokerage landscape. With $195 billion in assets under custody as of November, it remains dwarfed by traditional players like Fidelity and Charles Schwab (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SCHW#NYSE">SCHW</a>) , which manage $15 trillion and $10 trillion respectively.
Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev set ambitious targets during the company's December investor day, aiming for market leadership in options trading by 2027 and equities by 2029. The company&#8217;s $200 million <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/06/39313872/robinhoods-200m-bitstamp-deal-marks-major-step-in-growing-crypto-business-heres-where-you-">acquisition of crypto exchange Bitstamp</a> in June signals its commitment to digital asset expansion.
&#8220;The maturation of Robinhood has coincided with the maturation of the retail investor,&#8221; Piper Sandler analyst Patrick Moley told the Financial Times.

Traditional brokers, however, continue to compete for younger clients. Schwab CEO Rick Wurster recently said on an earnings call that a third of its new retail investors were under 30, and half were under 40.
While Robinhood offers multiple asset classes on one platform—from cryptocurrency to stock options—analysts question whether younger clients will &#8220;graduate&#8221; to larger firms as they accumulate wealth.&nbsp;
The path to product parity with established brokers remains &#8220;very, very long,&#8221; Barclays analyst Benjamin Budish told the Financial Times.

The company&#8217;s strategy includes expanding beyond trading into broader financial services. Its recent initiatives target more sophisticated investors while maintaining the platform&#8217;s accessibility for newcomers.
&#8220;Maybe it&#8217;s an unfair comparison, because Schwab and Fidelity are very mature platforms,&#8221; Budish said, but added that seeing the company mature makes him &#8220;more willing to give them the benefit of the doubt.&#8221;

Robinhood's Profit Surge Means It May Finally Be A Serious Player On Wall Street

The Justice Department is reportedly in crisis following a wave of resignations and intense pressure from Trump-appointed officials to drop the corruption case against <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/politics/25/02/43739378/treasury-investigates-doges-payment-system-access-as-concerns-mount" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New York City Mayor </a><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/politics/25/02/43739378/treasury-investigates-doges-payment-system-access-as-concerns-mount" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Eric Adams</a> (D).
The situation escalated on Friday when the department filed a motion to dismiss the case, a move that triggered anger and outrage within the DOJ, <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/02/14/justice-department-crisis-resignations-adams-00204482">reports</a> Politico.
For two consecutive days, acting DOJ No. 2 Emil Bove pressured career attorneys to file court papers seeking to abandon the case.
The pressure campaign culminated in the filing of a motion late Friday, signed by Bove himself, to drop the charges.
This unprecedented move came after several DOJ officials resigned in protest. Lead prosecutor Hagan Scotten, part of the U.S. attorney&#8217;s office in Manhattan, quit, accusing Bove and Trump of striking a deal to drop the charges in exchange for Adams&#8217; support of Trump&#8217;s policy agenda.

Bove&#8217;s actions led to further resignations within the department, including the acting U.S. attorney in Manhattan, Danielle Sassoon, and senior officials from the Criminal Division and Public Integrity Section.
Former U.S. Attorney Barbara McQuade revealed that Bove issued an ultimatum to DOJ lawyers to find someone to carry out the order to dismiss the case or face termination, Politico adds.
Critics, including former DOJ veterans, compared the turmoil to the 1973 Saturday Night Massacre, where top officials resigned to resist President Nixon&#8217;s orders.
They described the current crisis as &#8220;chilling,&#8221; citing Bove&#8217;s crude intimidation tactics. DOJ spokespersons did not respond to requests for comment.
Attorney General Pam Bondi defended the decision to drop the case, claiming the charges against Adams were part of a political &#8220;weaponization&#8221; of the department.
The unfolding turmoil underscores the profound divide within the DOJ, as Trump-aligned officials clash with career prosecutors over the future of the Adams case.

Chaos at Justice Department as Trump-Backed Officials Push To Drop Corruption Case Against NYC Mayor Adams

Switzerland is advancing toward legalizing recreational <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/cannabis">cannabis</a> with a strictly regulated framework after the National Council's Social Security and Health Committee (SGK-N) voted in favor of a <a href="https://www.parlament.ch/press-releases/Pages/mm-sgk-n-2025-02-14.aspx?lang=1031">draft</a> law that would allow controlled access for adults. The proposal, which passed with 14 votes in favor, 9 against and 2 abstentions, seeks to reduce illicit market activity, protect public health and implement a non-profit sales model.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Non-Profit, Government-Controlled Cannabis Market</h2>
The proposed law aims to remove the profit motive from cannabis sales by placing them under a state-controlled monopoly. Cannabis products would only be available at a limited number of licensed brick-and-mortar stores and through a single state-approved online retailer.
Revenue generated from sales would be directed toward harm reduction, addiction support and contributions to health insurance cost reductions. This structure is notably different from commercial models in Canada, the U.S. or Germany, where private companies play a key role in legal cannabis markets.
The draft also proposes strict quality standards for cannabis products, requiring neutral packaging, clear warning labels and childproof containers. Advertising would be completely banned, extending not only to cannabis products but also to seeds, clones and related accessories.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">THC-Based Taxation And Personal Cultivation Rules</h2>
The proposal includes a THC-based taxation system, where higher THC levels result in higher taxes.
Adults residing in Switzerland would be allowed to grow up to three female cannabis plants (flowering) for personal use, but purchase and possession limits would be enforced. Public consumption regulations would align with existing passive smoking protection laws, preventing secondhand exposure in public spaces.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Zero Tolerance For Driving And Harsher Penalties For Illicit Sales</h2>
While the legislation aims to shift consumers away from the illegal market, it simultaneously increases penalties for unauthorized cannabis sales and purchases. A digital tracking system would monitor the entire supply chain to prevent diversion to illicit channels.
Driving regulations remain stringent, with a zero-tolerance policy for THC. Under the proposed rules, any driver found with THC in their system would be considered unfit to drive, reinforcing Switzerland's cautious approach to cannabis and road safety.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Next Steps: Public Consultation And Parliamentary Debate</h2>
The proposal is far from becoming law. The next phase involves an explanatory report on the preliminary draft, which will be examined by the SGK-N in the summer of 2025. This will be followed by a public consultation period, allowing stakeholders, medical experts and advocacy groups to provide feedback.
Given Switzerland's direct democracy system, a referendum may be required before the law is fully enacted. The Swiss People&#8217;s Party (SVP) has already <a href="https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20250214-switzerland-mulls-legalising-recreational-cannabis?utm_source=chatgpt.com">voiced</a> strong opposition, arguing that legalization would send the wrong message to youth.
Meanwhile, industry groups like the Swiss Hemp Interest Group (IG Hanf) have <a href="https://www.barrons.com/news/switzerland-mulls-legalising-recreational-cannabis-b5141994?utm_source=chatgpt.com">hailed</a> the move as a &#8220;historic moment for Swiss cannabis policy.&#8221;

Switzerland Moves To Legalize Recreational Cannabis Under Strict Government Control

JP Morgan Chase &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>) CEO Jamie Dimon sparked controversy during a heated town hall in Columbus, Ohio, where he scolded employees after they raised concerns <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/01/43218904/remote-work-vs-return-to-office-can-veevas-flexibility-outshine-jpmorgans-office-mandate" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">about the bank&#8217;s five-day return-to-office policy</a>.
Dimon dismissed the idea of flexible workdays, claiming remote work policies hinder creativity and slow decision-making, The Hill <a target="_blank" href="https://thehill.com/business/5145522-jamie-dimon-jp-morgan-chase-return-to-work/" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>.
Dimon aggressively criticized the practice of &#8220;work-from-home Fridays,&#8221; saying, &#8220;I call a lot of people on Friday. There&#8217;s not a goddamn person to get a hold of,&#8221; Dimon said in a meeting, the audio of which has been reviewed by The Hill.
He expressed dissatisfaction with a petition circulated by staffers advocating for hybrid workdays, condemning it as harmful to the younger generation of workers.

Dimon argued that remote work leaves younger employees &#8220;socially&#8221; and &#8220;professionally&#8221; behind, and even criticized their lack of exposure to diverse environments.
Dimon&#8217;s firm stance on full in-person attendance follows a broader movement of companies re-evaluating remote work policies, with Dimon declaring that those who disagree with the bank&#8217;s approach are welcome to leave.
&#8220;You don&#8217;t have to work at JPMorgan,&#8221; Dimon stated, emphasizing that the bank will maintain its own standards and expectations.
This fiery exchange comes amid workforce restructuring at JPMorgan, which is planning layoffs in February and additional cuts throughout the year.
While Dimon&#8217;s comments have drawn strong reactions, the CEO&#8217;s position remains clear as JPMorgan&#8217;s culture will prioritize in-office work and set its own policies.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">$300 Million Pay Day</h2>
Gotti pacted with the legendary hip-hop label Def Jam, where he received his own imprint after bringing rapper DMX to the company. Amid hit records and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/25/02/43443734/the-beatles-make-grammy-history-with-ai-how-tech-completed-their-final-song">Grammy awards</a>, the Hollis, Queens-born mogul (born Irving Domingo Lorenzo Jr.) became a multi-millionaire. However, he attained generational wealth long after his label&#8217;s heyday and close to the end of his life, when in 2022, he sold his label&#8217;s master recordings to the music management firm Iconoclast for<a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/rb-hip-hop/irv-gotti-interview-vision-catalaogue-sale-1235114375/"> $300 million</a>.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Luxury Homes In Encino</h2>
After securing the deal, Gotti bolstered his real estate portfolio by buying two homes in Encino, California. According to<a href="https://www.realtor.com/news/celebrity-real-estate/music-producer-irv-gotti-dead-murder-inc-founder-property-portfolio/"> Realtor.com</a>, he paid $10.2 million for a 10,325-square-foot residence with eight bedrooms and 10 bathrooms and $4.8 million for a 6,600-square-foot home with five bedrooms and five bathrooms. Previously, Gotti owned a five-bedroom, five-bathroom property in a cul-de-sac in Sherman Oaks, California which he sold for $1.85 million in 2021. He purchased the house for $1.43 million in 2016 and then listed it for rent three years later for $12,500 a month.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">$100 Million Per Year Money Machine Before Fed Shut Down</h2>
At the peak of Murder Inc.&#8217;s success, Gotti <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/irv-gotti-says-murder-inc-200225818.html">told VladTV</a> in 2019 that the label generated $100 million per year before the infamous raid by FBI and New York Police Department investigators in January 2003.
&#8220;The government stopped me from making the money,&#8221; Gotti said in the interview. &#8220;When the government came in at that time, Murder Inc. was doing like over $100 million in billing for like two years in a row.&#8221;

The raid coincided with Gotti being given a check for $65 million from Universal Music, his partner in a 50/50 deal.
&#8220;They was [sic] giving me a check for like $65 million, and that&#8217;s why the government came in,&#8221; Gotti claimed. &#8220;It was a chess move to destroy me and take all of my money.&#8221;
The label was charged with money laundering. Eventually, in 2005, Gotti was <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/06/arts/irv-gotti-murder-inc-timeline.html">acquitted</a> after spending close to<a href="https://thesource.com/2019/12/02/today-in-hip-hop-history-irv-and-chris-gotti-beat-the-feds-14-years-ago/"> $10 million in legal</a> fees.
&#8220;They took my life from me for three years,&#8221; Gotti said at the time. &#8220;But it&#8217;s all good. I&#8217;m not mad. I love this country. But from Day One, they had it wrong with me and my brother. I&#8217;m no criminal.&#8221;

Hip Hop Exec Irv Gotti, Dead At 54, Leaves Behind A Real Estate Legacy With His Upscale Californian Property Portfolio

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi&#8217;s visit to Washington this week was a focused, business-oriented trip, with key agreements with President Donald Trump and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43718396/trump-modi-meeting-india-to-amp-up-us-weapons-purchases-will-receive-f-35-stealth-fighters" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">challenges shaping the US-India relationship</a>.
The working visit saw Trump announce a significant expansion in US military sales to India, including F-35 jets, alongside increased <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43718396/trump-modi-meeting-india-to-amp-up-us-weapons-purchases-will-receive-f-35-stealth-fighters" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">oil and gas exports to help narrow the trade deficit</a>.
Both nations agreed to negotiate a trade deal and finalize a new defense framework, with the US also approving the extradition of Tahawwur Rana, accused of involvement in the 2008 Mumbai attacks in India, <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c23ndleveymo" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a> BBC.
The two countries also set a bold trade target of $500 billion by 2030, aiming to double the current $190 billion trade volume.

However, uncertainties remain around the specifics of the trade deal, with experts divided on whether it will be a full free trade agreement or targeted tariff reductions.
A critical concern was Trump&#8217;s order for reciprocal tariffs, which could lead to import taxes on US trading partners.
India, which enjoys a trade surplus with the US, preemptively reduced its average tariffs to mitigate this.
While some experts, like Ajay Srivastava, believe India is unlikely to face significant tariff hurdles, others, including Abhijit Das, warn that non-tariff barriers could still pose challenges, especially in agriculture, where US subsidies and strict regulations may complicate negotiations, BBC adds.
On defense, the US committed to a multi-billion-dollar arms sale to India, including F-35 jets, although logistical and bureaucratic hurdles could slow progress. Despite this, India&#8217;s growing reliance on US defense equipment suggests further deepening of ties.
Modi&#8217;s meeting with Elon Musk was notable, as it touched on emerging technologies and AI, though Tesla&#8217;s entry into India remains uncertain. Modi also held a rare press conference with Trump, answering questions on illegal immigration and the Adani Group bribery charges, marking a shift from his usual approach to media interaction.

Trump Unveils $500 Billion Trade Goal To Supercharge US-India Ties

Conservative influencer Ashley St. Clair has declared that Elon Musk is the father of her newborn child. The announcement was made in a recent post on X.
What Happened: In a post on Friday, St. Clair, who is 26, requested privacy for her child, confirming that Musk is the father. The influencer, who is recognized for her far-right commentary, shared the information with her one million followers.
St. Clair wrote, &#8220;Elon Musk is the father,&#8221; and added, &#8220;I have not previously disclosed this to protect our child's privacy and safety, but in recent days it has become clear that tabloid media intends to do so, regardless of the harm it will cause.&#8221;
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
The reasons behind St. Clair&#8217;s announcement remain unclear. Prior to her statement, no media outlet had associated her with the Tesla CEO. Earlier this week,&nbsp;St. Clair and Musk were&nbsp;involved in a social media exchange.

As of the time of publication, Musk had not reacted to St. Clair&#8217;s revelation. According to People magazine, Musk has fathered 12 children with&nbsp;three different women before St&nbsp;Clair's announcement.
Why It Matters: This unexpected revelation comes amid a lack of prior media speculation linking St. Clair and Musk, raising questions about the nature of their relationship. The timing of the announcement, following a recent social media interaction between the two, adds to the intrigue. 
The impact of this development on Musk&#8217;s personal life and his role as CEO of Tesla remains to be seen. 
As the news unfolds, the focus will likely be on Musk&#8217;s response to the claim and the potential implications for all parties involved.

Conservative Influencer Says Musk Is Father of Her Newborn Child

Billionaire investor Ray Dalio recently expressed grave concerns <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/12/42257531/heres-how-ray-dalio-thinks-trumps-second-term-could-reshape-the-us-and-the-world">over the escalating U.S. federal debt</a>.
What Happened: Dalio shared his apprehensions at the World Government Summit in Dubai on Thursday. He drew a comparison between the burgeoning $36 trillion national debt and plaque clogging the arteries of the U.S. financial system.
Dalio foresees the possibility of an &#8220;economic heart attack&#8221; within the next three years if the issue is not promptly addressed.
Dalio predicts that&nbsp;if President Donald Trump&#8216;s tax cuts&nbsp;persist, the U.S.&nbsp;will run a deficit of&nbsp;about 7.5% of GDP. He urged&nbsp;the White House and Congress&nbsp;to pledge to reduce&nbsp;the deficit to 3% of&nbsp;GDP within the next three years.
According to the report <a href="https://fortune.com/2025/02/13/trump-national-debt-fiscal-deficit-economic-heart-attack-ray-dalio-bridgewater-hedge-fund/">by</a> Fortune, with the recent surge in inflation, bond investors may demand higher premiums to hold fixed-income securities such as sovereign debt. This could further strain the government spending allocated for servicing the national debt.
"When I calculate the supply and demand over the next year and three years. we have an immediate issue," said Dalio.&nbsp;

Dalio is apprehensive that the bond markets may soon be unable to absorb the increasing amount of Treasuries issued, leading to skyrocketing interest rates and a &#8220;debt death spiral&#8221;. He underscored the urgency of the situation, stating that the US government must act swiftly, even if it results in societal damage.
White House economic advisor Kevin&nbsp;Hassett unveiled plans to control inflation by increasing supply and reducing aggregate demand. However, Dalio contended that time is of the essence and drastic measures, including austerity, may be necessary.
Why It Matters: The escalating US fiscal deficit has been a cause for concern for some time now. Dalio&#8217;s warning serves as a grim reminder of the potential economic fallout if the issue is not addressed promptly. 
The U.S. government&#8217;s plans to control inflation might not be enough to prevent a &#8220;debt death spiral&#8221;, as Dalio calls it. The situation calls for immediate and drastic measures, even if they result in societal damage. 
The clock is ticking, and the U.S. government must act swiftly to avert an impending economic crisis.

Ray Dalio Warns of Looming US Debt Crisis, Says America Faces 'Economic Heart Attack' Without Fiscal Cuts

Despite Texas&#8217; reputation for affordability, its major cities lead the nation in non-mortgage debt, with Austin residents owing an average of $45,920, according to a LendingTree study.
The study, which examined credit reports of 210,000 users from April through June 2024, found San Antonio and Houston following closely behind Austin, with average non-mortgage debts of $44,812 and $44,640, respectively.&nbsp;
The national average among the 50 largest metropolitan areas is $37,827.

</ul>
Auto loans drive much of the debt burden. San Antonio leads with an average auto loan debt of $18,303, followed by Austin at $17,144.
&#8220;You generally need a vehicle to get around the biggest cities in Texas. That puts many Texans in a tough position, especially with vehicle prices and interest rates at today&#8217;s sky-high levels,&#8221; Matt Schulz, LendingTree&#8217;s chief credit analyst, <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/texas-has-debt-problem-2027831">told Newsweek</a>.
While Texas maintains relatively affordable housing compared with coastal states, residents are facing high property tax burdens. WalletHub&#8217;s <a href="https://wallethub.com/edu/states-with-the-highest-and-lowest-property-taxes/11585">2024 property tax report</a> ranks Texas seventh-highest nationally, with average annual property taxes of $3,872.
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>?
Low wages compound the debt problem. <a href="https://oxfamilibrary.openrepository.com/bitstream/handle/10546/621608/rr-2024-crisis-of-low-wages-090724-en.pdf">According to Oxfam</a>, nearly one-third of Texas workers—4.5 million people—earn less than $17 per hour. Texas remains among 20 states still using the federal minimum wage of $7.25.
&#8220;While Texas has been booming in recent years, salaries are still generally lower than those found in the biggest American cities, especially those along the coasts,&#8221; Schulz told Newsweek. He noted San Antonio&#8217;s particularly challenging situation as one of America&#8217;s lowest-income major cities.
Lower credit scores further strain Texas residents&#8217; finances. &#8220;That means fewer borrowing options, but it also means that if they&#8217;re able to get a loan, they&#8217;re likely to face higher interest rates and other costs,&#8221; Schulz added.

Texas' Debt Problem Is Getting Worse—Here's What's Driving It

Billionaire hedge fund manager Paul Tudor Jones voiced his apprehensions about the stability of financial markets during President Donald Trump&#8216;s second term.
What Happened: During an interview with CNBC earlier this month, Jones explained that the current financial environment is vastly different from when Trump initially assumed office in 2017. He observed significant changes in the fixed income, foreign exchange, and equity markets over the past eight years.
Jones pointed out&nbsp;that the Treasury is now&nbsp;issuing a record amount of&nbsp;debt, more than double the figure in 2017. Moreover, foreign&nbsp;ownership of U.S. equities, debt, and real estate has doubled as a percentage of GDP since 2017.
"We could have a 30% correction the stock market and just be back to slightly overvalued. I think Trump being Trump, I don't know if it will play as well as it did in 1.0 because there's no room for mistakes," he <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/02/03/paul-tudor-jones-says-markets-on-shakier-ground-than-trumps-first-term-leaving-no-room-for-mistakes.html">told </a>the outlet. 
He also noted&nbsp;that the average price-to-earnings ratio&nbsp;of the S&amp;P 500 is currently around 25, compared to 19 in January 2017. Jones warned of a potential 30% correction in the stock market, which would only bring it back to being slightly overvalued.

After Trump imposed tariffs on&nbsp;several key U.S. trading partners, markets took a hit. However, stocks saw a slight recovery after Mexico&#8217;s president announced a pause in tariffs against the country.
"He's my president now, I pray he makes all the right decisions, because we are precariously perched from a macro standpoint. I don't think we've ever had as many things that are connected in circular and could go wrong. So it's going to take a maestro to pull this off in a way that kind of preserves where we are now in the major asset classes," Jones said. 
Why It Matters: Jones, who accurately predicted the 1987 stock market crash, urged caution. He stated that the current macroeconomic situation is precarious and will require careful management to maintain stability in major asset classes. 
His warning comes at a time when the financial landscape is undergoing significant changes, with the Treasury issuing record amounts of debt and foreign ownership of U.S. assets increasing.
The imposition of tariffs by Trump has already caused market fluctuations, and any further instability could lead to a significant market correction. 
As such, Jones&#8217; warning underscores the need for careful economic management in the coming years.

Market Instability Looms in Trump's Second Term, Warns Paul Tudor Jones: 'There's No Room for Mistakes'

The popularity of cryptocurrency-based casinos continues to surge, attracting players with fast transactions, enhanced privacy, and innovative gaming features. But where is interest in crypto gambling the highest in 2025? 
What Happened: A new study by the <a href="https://casinospotfr.com/casinos-en-ligne/">CasinoSpotFR</a> analyzed search query data and Google Trends to pinpoint the regions most engaged with crypto casinos and the key factors fueling this growth.
According to <a href="https://ahrefs.com/">Ahrefs</a>, the monthly search volume for &#8220;crypto casino&#8221; in major countries is as follows: the United States leads with 7,500 searches, followed by Germany with 4,200, the United Kingdom with 3,100, Canada with 1,800, and France with 1,500 searches. 
However, adjusting these figures based on population size presents a different perspective. Germany has the highest search rate per capita at 50 searches per million people, while the UK follows closely with 46.27, just ahead of Canada at 46.15. 
The U.S., despite its large overall search volume, ranks lower on a per capita basis with 22.66 searches per million, slightly above France at 22.06. This indicates that while the U.S. shows strong absolute interest, European nations demonstrate a greater concentration of searches per person.
The landscape of cryptocurrency casinos has evolved significantly over the past two years. Global search interest in crypto casinos has risen by approximately 20–30%, reflecting the sector&#8217;s growing appeal. While Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) remains the primary cryptocurrency for gambling, more platforms are now integrating Tether (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">USDT</a>), Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>), and Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>) as viable payment options. 
Meanwhile, regulatory scrutiny has intensified, with some governments imposing stricter controls on crypto gambling. However, many players are adapting by utilizing VPNs and decentralized platforms to continue participating in online crypto gaming.
The data also highlights key differences in crypto casino interest worldwide. Germany and the UK display the strongest per-capita demand, indicating a thriving gaming culture despite regulatory challenges. Canada and France maintain steady engagement, while the U.S. dominates in absolute search volume. 
As legal landscapes shift, crypto gamblers are adjusting, relying on new payment methods and decentralized systems to sustain activity in the sector.
Crypto casinos have gained traction in financial markets, influencing major ETFs such as ProShares Bitcoin Strategy ETF and Amplify Transformational Data Sharing ETF, which reflect the sector's growing relevance in blockchain investment.

중국 정보 기관과 연계된 주요 사이버 스파이 작전이 T-모바일 US(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TMUS#NASDAQ">TMUS</a>)와 AT&amp;T(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/T#NYSE">T</a>) 및 버라이즌 커뮤니케이션스(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VZ#NYSE">VZ</a>) 등 다른 통신 대기업들을 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41200026/chinese-hackers-breach-at-t-verizon-networks-in-major-wiretap-data-theft-putting-us-national-securit" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">침해한 것으로</a> 보도되었다. 이 사건은 심각한 국가 안보 우려를 일으키고 있다.
무슨 일이 있었나: T-모바일의 네트워크가 중국 해커들에 의해 대규모 사이버 스파이 작전으로 침해당한 것으로 보인다. 월스트리트 저널의 보도에 따르면, 이 침해는 다른 미국 및 국제 통신 회사들에도 영향을 미쳤으며, 고급 정보 목표의 휴대폰 통신을 겨냥했다.
T-모바일 고객들의 데이터가 얼마나 침해되었는지는 불확실하다. T-모바일 대변인은 &#8220;T-모바일 시스템과 데이터는 어떤 중요한 방식으로도 영향을 받지 않았으며, 고객 정보에 대한 영향 증거도 없다&#8221;고 전했다.
솔트 타이푼(Salt Typhoon) 그룹에 연결된 이 침해 사건은 일부 미국 관료들에 의해 범위와 심각성 면에서 역사적인 사건으로 간주되고 있다. AT&amp;T, 버라이즌 그리고 루멘 테크놀로지스(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LUMN#NYSE">LUMN</a>)도 영향을 받았다고 전해졌다.
해커들은 시스코 시스템즈 라우터의 취약점을 악용했으며, 인공지능(AI) 또는 머신러닝을 사용하여 작전을 강화했을 가능성이 있다. 이로 인해 미국 정부 고위 인사와 정치인들의 휴대전화 회선에 접근할 수 있었다.
왜 중요한가: 이러한 침해 사건은 중국 해커들에게 기인한 일련의 사이버 공격의 일환으로, 국가 안보에 대한 경고 신호를 일으키고 있다.
4월, 연방수사국(FBI) 국장인 크리스토퍼 레이(Christopher Wray)는 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38330156/fbi-chief-warns-xi-jinpings-ccp-linked-chinese-hackers-are-planning-to-physically-wreak-havoc-on-us" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">중국이 미국 인프라를 방해할 가능성</a>에 대해 경고하며 통신, 에너지 및 수자원 등 여러 분야가 표적이 되고 있다고 강조했다.
5월에는 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38659657/major-hacking-incident-exposes-data-of-military-personnel-in-uk-ministry-of-defence-breach-is-china" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">주요 해킹 사건</a>이 영국 군 관계자의 데이터를 노출시켰으며, 중국이 범인으로 의심되었다.
T-모바일과 다른 통신 대기업들의 최근 침해 사건은 국가 지원 사이버 스파이 활동이 지속적으로 위협이 되고 있음을 강조하며, 사이버 보안 조치를 강화할 필요성을 부각시킨다.

중국 해커들 美 통신사 T-모바일 공격, AT&T와 버라이즌도 유사 공격 받아: 보도

루멘 테크놀로지스(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LUMN#NYSE">LUMN</a>)는 화요일(5일) 장 마감 후 3분기 실적을 발표했다. 실적 보고서의 세부 사항은 다음과 같다.

미국 통신사들을 겨냥한 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41200026/chinese-hackers-breach-at-t-verizon-networks-in-major-wiretap-data-theft-putting-us-national-securit">해킹 캠페인</a>이 공개된 지 일주일이 지나도 의회는 그 함의를 평가하고 있다. 중국의 솔트 타이푼(Salt Typhoon) 그룹이 AT&amp;T(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/T#NYSE">T</a>), 버라이즌(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VZ#NYSE">VZ</a>) 및 루멘 테크놀로지스(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LUMN#NYSE">LUMN</a>)에 침투한 것으로 보도되어, 법원에서 승인된 감청과 관련된 민감한 정부 데이터가 노출되었을 가능성에 대한 우려가 제기되고 있다.
월스트리트 저널이 <a href="https://www.wsj.com/politics/national-security/u-s-officials-race-to-understand-severity-of-chinas-salt-typhoon-hacks-6e7c3951" target="_blank" rel="noopener">보도</a>한 바와 같이, 의회 위원회는 이들 세 회사의 최고경영자들에게 침입 사건에 대한 자세한 설명과 시스템 보안 조치에 대한 서한을 보냈다.
하원 에너지 상업위원회의 의장인 캐시 맥모리스 로저스(공화-워싱턴) 의원은 이 회사들이 다음 주까지 전체 브리핑을 제공할 것을 요청했다.
&#8220;이런 종류의 침해 사건은 빈도와 심각도가 증가하고 있다&#8221;고 이 편지에 적혀 있다. &#8220;위원회는 이 사건이 어떻게 발생했는지, 그리고 귀사가 향후 서비스 중단을 방지하고 고객 데이터를 보호하기 위해 어떤 조치를 취하고 있는지 더 잘 이해할 필요가 있다.&#8221;
존 무레나르(공화-미시간) 의원과 라자 크리슈나무르티(민주-일리노이) 의원은 하원 중국 특별위원회를 대표하여 이 침해 사건이 심각한 국가 안보 문제를 야기할 수 있다는 우려를 제기했다.
&#8220;우리는 지금까지 직면한 적 없는 사이버 적과 맞서고 있으며, 국가의 사이버 보안 접근 방식을 긴급하게 강화해야 한다&#8221;고 그들이 <a href="https://selectcommitteeontheccp.house.gov/sites/evo-subsites/selectcommitteeontheccp.house.gov/files/evo-media-document/10.10.24_Letter%20to%20Verizon%20ATT%20and%20Lumen.pdf">성명</a>에서 밝혔다.
워싱턴 주재 중국 대사관은 이번 공격과의 연관성을 부인했다. &#8220;중국은 모든 형태의 사이버 공격에 단호히 반대하고 이를 반대한다&#8221;고 대변인이 말하며, 중국 정부가 이러한 침해 사건 뒤에 있다는 주장을 반박했다.
한편, 상원 정보위원회 위원이며 사이버 보안 문제의 주요 옹호자인 론 와이든(민주-오리건) 상원의원은 법무부와 연방통신위원회(FCC)에 서한을 보냈다.
&#8220;정부가 많은 책임이 있다&#8221;고 와이든이 썼으며, 법 집행 기관 인증위원회(CALEA)에 따른 감청 시스템의 취약성에 대한 오랜 무대책을 비판했다.
1994년에 통과된 CALEA는 통신 제공업체들이 법 집행기관이 통신을 가로챌 수 있는 시스템을 유지하도록 요구한다. 2005년에 인터넷 기반 서비스와 초고속 서비스를 포함하도록 법이 확장되었으며, 민간 기업들이 준수를 보장할 책임을 지게 되었다.
그러나 버클리의 선임 연구원인 니콜라스 위버(Nicholas Weaver) 박사와 같은 컴퓨터 보안 전문가는 리즌(Reason)의 보고서에 <a href="https://reason.com/2024/10/11/chinese-hackers-used-u-s-government-mandated-wiretap-systems/">따르면</a> 이러한 &#8216;백도어&#8217;가 수년 동안 심각한 보안 위험을 초래한다고 경고해 왔다.
다른 사이버 보안 전문가들은 솔트 타이푼 침해 사건이 백도어 접근의 내재적 위험을 드러낸다고 말한다.
&#8220;백도어의 문제는 잘 알려져 있다&#8221;고 존스 홉킨스 대학교의 암호학 교수인 매튜 그린( Matthew Green)이 말했다. &#8220;어떤 채널이 한 당사자에게만 전용되면 결국 다른 당사자에게 발견되고 남용될 것이다.&#8221;

美 의원들, 중국 해킹에 대해 AT&T, 버라이즌 및 루멘에게 답변 요구

중국 정부와 연관된 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/04/38346345/chinese-hackers-may-control-your-water-and-are-laying-in-wait-fbi-warns-3-startups-to-watch">사이버 공격</a>으로 인해 주요 미국 광대역 제공업체들이 해킹을 당한 것으로 보이며, 이로 인해 법원 승인에 의한 도청 요청 시스템이 위험에 처할 수 있다.
무슨 일이 (What Happened): 솔트 타이푼(Salt Typhoon)으로 알려진 이 해커들은 몇 달 동안 이러한 네트워크에 액세스하여 심각한 국가 안보 위험을 초래했을 수 있다. 이 침해는 다른 인터넷 트래픽 섹션으로도 확장되었다고 <a href="https://www.wsj.com/tech/cybersecurity/u-s-wiretap-systems-targeted-in-china-linked-hack-327fc63b">월스트리트 저널</a>이 보도했다.
AT&amp;T(NYSE:<a class="items-end ticker-link-wrapper inline-flex" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/t" target="_blank" rel="dofollow noopener" aria-label="Go to Quote Page for T" data-google-interstitial="false">T</a>), 버라이즌 커뮤니케이션스(NYSE:<a class="items-end ticker-link-wrapper inline-flex" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/vz" target="_blank" rel="dofollow noopener" aria-label="Go to Quote Page for VZ" data-google-interstitial="false">VZ</a>) 그리고 루멘 테크놀로지스(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LUMN#NYSE">LUMN</a>)는 이번 침해로 네트워크가 손상된 회사들 중 일부이다.
잠재적으로 치명적인 보안 침해로 간주되는 이 공격은 주로 정보 수집을 목표로 했다. 이러한 침해 규모와 해커들이 관찰하고 유출한 데이터의 양은 아직 조사 중이다.

문제가 된 이 감시 시스템은 범죄 및 국가 안보 수사와 관련된 국내 정보 요청을 준수하기 위해 사용된다고 이보도가 밝혔다.
연방법에 따르면, 이 통신 및 광대역 회사들은 법원 명령을 통해 전자 데이터에 대한 접근을 당국에 허용해야 한다.
이 공격에 대한 지식이 있는 한 개인은 미국 정부가 이 침해를 역사적으로 매우 중요하고 우려스럽게 보고 있다고 말했다.

왜 이것이 중요한가요 (Why It Matters): 이번 사이버 공격은 중국 해커와 연관된 일련의 침해 사건 중 가장 최근의 사건이다. 올해 4월, 연방수사국(FBI) 국장 크리스토퍼 레이(Christopher Wray)는 중국과 연관된 해커들이 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38330156/fbi-chief-warns-xi-jinpings-ccp-linked-chinese-hackers-are-planning-to-physically-wreak-havoc-on-us">미국의 핵심 인프라에 침투하고 있다</a>고 경고했다. 여기에는 통신, 에너지 및 수도 부문이 포함된다.
5월에는 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38659657/major-hacking-incident-exposes-data-of-military-personnel-in-uk-ministry-of-defence-breach-is-china">영국 국방부가 주요 데이터 유출 사건을 겪었고,</a> 활동 중인 군인들의 민감한 정보가 유출되었다. 이 사이버 공격의 배후에는 중국 국가가 있는 것으로 의심되었다.
8월에는 다가오는 선거의 보안에 대한 우려가 커졌고, 도널드 트럼프의 대통령 캠페인이 사이버 공격의 피해를 입은 후 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40305575/after-trump-campaign-blames-foreign-sources-hostile-to-the-us-for-cyberattack-ex-white-house-officia">미국에 적대적인 외국 소스</a>가 침입의 원인으로 지목되었다.
2020년부터 활동 중인 솔트 타이푼 그룹은 중국 기반의 국가 주도 해킹 그룹으로, 주로 간첩 활동과 데이터 절도를 목표로 하며, 특히 네트워크 트래픽을 캡처하는 데 중점을 두고 있다.
마이크로소프트(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>)는 현재 솔트 타이푼 침입을 조사 중이며, 다른 사이버 보안 회사들과 함께 조사하고 있다.

중요성 (Why It's Important): 엔비디아는 9월 한 달 동안 Benzinga Pro에서 가장 많이 검색된 주식으로 다시 한번 선정되었다. 이 주식은 2월 이후로 매달 1위 또는 2위를 기록하고 있으며, 때때로 SPY 또는 테슬라와 교대로 1위에 올랐다.
SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust는 9월에 S&amp;P 500 추적 지수가 사상 최고치를 기록하면서 2위를 차지했다.
테슬라는 7월에 1위를 차지한 이후 두 주 연속 3위를 기록했다. 이 주식은 2024년 동안 매달 검색된 상위 4개의 주식 중 하나로 자리 잡았다.
9월의 큰 관심은 신규 진입 주식들과 순위에서 떨어진 주식들이었다.
신규 진입자로는 휠러 리얼 에스테이트, 갈메드, 인텔 및 인튜이티브가 포함되었다. 이 4개 주식 중에서 인튜이티브만이 지난 3개월 간 상위 20위에 랭크된 바 있다. 이 신규 진입자들은 모두 지난달에 주식을 크게 변동시킨 촉매제가 있었다.
11위에서 20위까지의 목록에서도 이전 달과는 모든 주식이 달랐으며 인튜이티브는 상위 10위로 올라갔고, 팔란티어는 7위에서 12위로 하락했으며 나머지 주식들은 모두 상위 20위에 신규로 진입했다.
상위 20위의 하위 주식들 중 일부는 주가가 $5 이하로 거래되는 저가 주식들이며, 이들 주식은 큰 변동성을 보이며 Benzinga 트레이더들의 관심이 증가했다.
상위 20위에 이름 인지도로 들어온 큰 회사는 트럼프 미디어 앤 테크놀로지 그룹으로, 전 대통령 도널드 트럼프가 공동 설립자이다. 이 주식은 2024년 선거 주기 동안 매우 변동성이 컸다.
상위 10위에서 떨어진 주식들은 루멘 테크놀로지스(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LUMN#NYSE">LUMN</a>), 어드밴스드 마이크로 디바이시스(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>), 지오백스 랩스(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOVX#NASDAQ">GOVX</a>) 및 앞서 언급한 팔란티어이다.
상위 20위에서 빠진 다른 큰 이름들은 8월에 13위였던 아마존닷컴(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>)으로, 24위로 하락하여 리스트에 아슬아슬하게 들지 못했다.
메타 플랫폼스(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>)는 상위 20위에 자주 올라온 주식으로 8월에는 15위였으나 상위 20위에서 제외되었다.
전반적으로 9월에는 8월과 같은 상위 10개의 종목이 6개 있었고, 8월의 상위 20개 종목 중 8개가 포함되었다.

중요한 이유 (Why It&#8217;s Important): 엔비디아는 해당 월 동안 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/08/40613050/nvidia-q2-earnings-guidance-top-street-view-as-ai-fuels-record-data-center-revenue-gross-margin-fal" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">분기별 실적 발표</a>가 있어서 8월 한 달 동안 Benzinga Pro에서 가장 많이 검색된 주식이었다. 이 회사는 분석가들의 추정치를 웃돌았고, 추정치보다 앞선 지침을 공유했다. 해당 주식은 올해 매달 Benzinga Pro에서 가장 많이 검색된 상위 3개 종목 중 하나로 꾸준히 선정되었다.
7월 1위를 차지했던 테슬라는 8월 3위로 떨어졌다. 이 전기 자동차 주식은 2024년 동안 매달 가장 많이 검색된 4개 종목 중 하나로 선정되었다.
8월에는 두 개의 ETF가 가장 많이 검색된 종목 중 하나였으며 SPY가 2위, QQQ가 9위를 차지했다. S&amp;P 500을 추적하는 SPY는 매월 가장 많이 검색되는 상위 3개 종목 중 하나로 정기적으로 선정되었다. 나스닥 100을 추적하는 QQQ는 8월 상승세를 보이며 5월 이후 처음으로 다시 톱 10에 진입했다.
슈퍼 마이크로 컴퓨터는 8월에 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/short-ideas/24/08/40579899/super-micro-computer-stock-falls-on-short-report-hindenburg-says-company-has-accounting" target="_blank" rel="noopener">공매도 보고서</a>와 회사의 업데이트로 인해 관심이 급증한 것으로 보인다. 지난 3월 5위까지 올랐던 주가는 8월 4위를 기록했다. 주가는 6월 10위 이후 처음으로 다시 10위권 안으로 진입했다.
신규 주식 두 종목이 상위 10개 종목 목록에 합류했으며, 루멘 테크놀로지스는 5위, 지오백스 랩스는 10위를 차지했다. 루멘은 이번 달 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40221474/lumen-technologies-stock-continues-to-soar-whats-going-on" target="_blank" rel="noopener">분기별 재무 결과를 발표</a>한 후 주가가 급등하고 투자자들의 관심을 받았다. 지오백스 랩스는 엠폭스(mpox, 원숭이두창)에 대한 세계보건기구(WHO)의 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care/24/08/40381585/who-declares-mpox-public-health-emergency-coordinated-international-response-essential-to-hal" target="_blank" rel="noopener">긴급 보건 선언</a>과 관련하여 높은 변동성과 관심 증가를 확인했다. 지오백스 랩스에는 엠폭스에 효과적이라고 알려진 백신이 있다.
상위 10위권에는 8월 16위를 차지한 서브 로보틱스와 8월 상위 20위 안에 들지 못한 잽 전기차 그룹(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ZAPP#NASDAQ">ZAPP</a>)이 포함되었다.
iShares Russell 2000 ETF(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IWM#NYSE">IWM</a>)는 독자들의 지속적인 관심을 받고 있다. 소형주를 추적하는 이 ETF는 7월 22위에 이어 8월에는 24위에 올랐다. 잠재적인 연방준비제도의 금리 인하가 임박함에 따라 9월에는 소형주와 ETF에 대한 관심이 높아질 수 있다.
