Pepe (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">PEPE</a>) topped the meme coin charts on Monday, outshining heavyweights like Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>) and Shiba Inu (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/shib/usd">SHIB</a>).
What happened: The frog-themed cryptocurrency spiked over 4% in the last 24 hours, partially offsetting the weekend decline. The coin's trading volume jumped 37% to $650.96 million, making it the second-most traded meme coin on the day.
DOGE and SHIB, on the other hand, experienced smaller jumps of 1.16% and 1.42%, respectively.

Polymarket Bettors Think It&#8217;s Unlikely</a>
Interestingly, PEPE's Open Interest, or the total money locked in its derivatives market, fell by nearly 3% in the last 24 hours, <a href="https://www.coinglass.com/currencies/PEPE">according </a>to Coinglass.
Why It Matters: When OI declines while the spot price rises, it might indicate that short sellers are covering their positions, leading the price to rally. Since money is leaving the market and the price increase is not driven by buying interest, traders typically interpret this scenario as a bearish sign.
It's worth noting that the OI sailed to its nearly two-month highs last week but has since retreated over 25%.
Conversely, the percentage of traders placing long bets on the meme coin increased to 52% in the last 24 hours, suggesting that the rally might be sustained.
The latest rally also prompted diamond hands to add to their positions. According to IntoTheBlock, the <a href="https://app.intotheblock.com/">balance</a> held by long-term PEPE holders rose by 0.03% in the last 24 hours, indicating conviction in the coin&#8217;s growth potential.
Price Action:  At the time of writing, PEPE was exchanging hands at $0.000007374, up 4.45% in the last 24 hours, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA..">data from Benzinga Pro</a>. Year-to-date, though, the cryptocurrency has plunged 63%.

Fundstrat&#8216;s Tom Lee believes markets are poised for a rebound despite widespread investor anxiety ahead of President Donald Trump&#8216;s anticipated tariff <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/long-ideas/25/03/44569453/tom-lee-sees-right-pieces-for-a-market-bottom-investors-are-a-little-too-scared-heading-into-wednesday">announcement on Wednesday</a>.
What Happened: &#8220;Markets are deeply oversold,&#8221; Lee wrote on Monday on X, adding that &#8220;too many are only pricing in &#8216;worst case'&#8221; scenarios. He said that Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) &#8220;likely leads bounce when recovery starts.&#8221;
Lee, Fundstrat&#8217;s Head of Research and Chief Investment Officer, noted high anxiety among fund managers who fear economic downturn following Trump&#8217;s Apr. 2 &#8220;Liberation Day&#8221; announcements. These concerns stem from uncertainty around tariff impacts and the Trump administration&#8217;s policies.

The strategist also pointed to the Federal Reserve&#8217;s relatively dovish stance as a potential positive catalyst. Fed Chair Jerome Powell is scheduled to speak Friday following the nonfarm payrolls report.
A Benzinga poll found 48% of respondents believe markets will crash following Trump&#8217;s reciprocal tariff announcement, while 29% expect little impact and 23% <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/25/03/44566164/exclusive-could-trumps-liberation-day-reciprocal-tariffs-crash-the-stock-market-48-say-this">anticipate a market rise</a>.

Tom Lee Says Markets Are 'Deeply Oversold,' Expects Bitcoin To Lead Rebound As Investors Fear Trump's Tariff Impact

On Monday, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman announced that the company plans to release its new open-weight language model with reasoning capabilities in the coming months. This decision might have been driven by the <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/01/43381133/chinas-deepseek-r1-lands-on-microsoft-azure-and-awsthe-same-model-that-shook-silicon-valley">impressive success of</a> DeepSeek&#8217;s R1 model and the growing popularity of Meta Platforms, Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) Llama models.
What Happened: In a post shared on X, formerly Twitter, Altman revealed that the model would be the first of its kind since GPT-2 and would feature publicly accessible trained parameters or weights, allowing developers to fine-tune the model for specific tasks.
&#8220;We've been thinking about this for a long time, but other priorities took precedence,&#8221; Altman said, adding, &#8220;Now it feels important to do.&#8221;
Altman also said that the company plans to get feedback from developers through a series of global events.

"We still have some decisions to make, so we are hosting developer events to gather feedback and later play with early prototypes," he said. The first event will take place in San Francisco, followed by sessions in Europe and Asia-Pacific regions.

OpenAI provides access to its AI via a chatbot and cloud-based services. In contrast, models like&nbsp;R1, Llama, and other open-weight alternatives can be freely downloaded and customized.
A model's&nbsp;weights&nbsp;represent the internal values of a neural network, determined during training. Open-weight models offer a&nbsp;cost-effective&nbsp;solution and can be adapted for specialized applications, such as processing&nbsp;sensitive or confidential data, <a href="https://www.wired.com/story/openai-sam-altman-announce-open-source-model/">reported</a> Wired.
After DeepSeek launched its model in January, Altman remarked that <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/02/43426111/openai-rethinks-open-source-as-deepseek-gains-ground-sam-altman-hints-at-major-changes-in-ai-model-development">OpenAI was &#8220;on the wrong side of history&#8221;</a> when it came to open models, hinting at a possible change in stance.
OpenAI might aim to demonstrate its ability to train the new model efficiently, especially since DeepSeek's model was reportedly developed at a significantly lower cost than most large AI models.
"This is amazing news," Clement Delangue, co-founder and CEO of Hugging Face, a company known for hosting open AI models, told the publication. "With DeepSeek, everyone's realizing the power of open weights."
OpenAI is also <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/tech/25/03/44066117/elon-musk-battles-openai-over-move-to-for-profit-model-and-experts-are-pushing-back">transitioning to a for-profit company</a> by the end of the year to secure a $40 billion funding round led by SoftBank Group (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBF#OTC">SFTBF</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBY#OTC">SFTBY</a>), which will support the development of future AI models.
This move comes after the company closed a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41149788/openai-valuation-soars-to-157b-in-latest-funding-round">$6.6 billion funding round</a> in October.
Meanwhile, Meta has seen significant success with its AI model family, &#8216;Llama,&#8217; which reached a <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/03/44393122/mark-zuckerberg-announces-that-metas-llama-model-hits-1-billion-downloads-each-llama-download-represents-a-vote-of-confidence-in-open-source-ai-says-vp">milestone of 1 billion downloads</a>. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg highlighted this achievement, underscoring the growing confidence in open-source AI models.

Sam Altman-Led OpenAI Releases Open-Weight AI Model With Reasoning Capabilities As DeepSeek And Meta Taste Success

U.S. markets continued to witness volatility on Monday as President Donald Trump&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44554789/trumps-liberation-day-tariffs-could-fuel-inflation-after-16-trillion-fiscal-surge-lawrence-mcdonald-warns">&#8216;Liberation Day&#8217;</a> fast approaches, bringing a volley of tariffs across products, industries, allies, and adversaries. Leading analysts and experts have since urged the President to reconsider his trade policy stance.
What Happened: The market experienced another roller-coaster trading day, with the S&amp;P 500 (INDEXSP: .INX) up 0.6% at close after being down 1.7% in the morning. While this helps shave off some of its losses this quarter, it still marks the worst quarter for the index in two-and-a-half years, losing 4.6%.
The NASDAQ (INDEXNASDAQ: .IXIC) ended 0.1% lower after witnessing wild swings of nearly 3% between the highs and lows of the day, followed by the Dow Jones Industrial Average (INDEXDJX: .DJI) which closed with a 1% gain, after swerving 417 points to erase some initial losses. Both the indices are down for the quarter, with the NASDAQ losing 10.5% and the Dow Industrials 2.3%.
Among individual stocks, Discover Financial (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DFS#NYSE">DFS</a>) and Live Nation Entertainment (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LYV#NYSE">LYV</a>) were among top gainers at 7.5% and 4.4%, respectively, while Moderna (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRNA#NASDAQ">MRNA</a>), Grail Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GRAL#NASDAQ">GRAL</a>) were among the top laggards, down 9% and 5% during the day, respectively.
Similarly, major index futures were a mixed bag on Monday evening, with Dow Futures up 1%, S&amp;P 500 Futures up 0.55%, and Nasdaq 100 down 0.14%. All of this comes in response to the uncertain global political climate and in anticipation of a messy global trade war that could disrupt all industries.

Why It Matters: Such steep curves have become routine for U.S. markets over the past couple of weeks, and there are no signs of it stopping any time soon, with seemingly no end to the uncertain trade policies of the Trump Administration, filled with false starts and abrupt changes.
Popular market voices such as Jim Cramer, who ironically <a href="https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/international/us/big-support-for-donald-trump-jim-cramer-shocks-wall-street-with-pro-tariff-stance-slams-free-trade-its-cost-us-fortunes/articleshow/119766832.cms?from=mdr">came out in support of the tariffs last week</a>, saying &#8216;I am pro-tariff, absolutely, I hate free trade,&#8217; is nonetheless, critical of the way the President is approaching this matter, stating that the uncertainty is taking a toll on the markets and investors.

Only if the President wants it to be.&#8217; This was quite clearly aimed at the Trump Administration, asking for more certainty and clarity on trade policies going forward.

Nvidia, Moderna, Lucid, Dominari Holdings, Tesla: Why These 5 Stocks Are On Investors' Radars Today

Intel Corp's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) Lip-Bu Tan made bold promises about the company's future during his first public speech as CEO on Monday, highlighting a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/03/44532562/intel-board-shake-up-continues-as-three-directors-exit-amid-leadership-overhaul-under-ceo-lip-bu-tan">major cultural overhaul</a> and signaling potential support from the Donald Trump administration.
What Happened: Tan, who took over as CEO earlier in March, focused on a cultural transformation at Intel, stressing the need to cut down on bureaucracy, which he believes stifles innovation, <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/bb433b2e-c236-46e7-8342-c92562c3431f">reported</a> the Financial Times.
&nbsp;&#8220;Bureaucracy kills innovation,&#8221; Tan said during the speech at a conference in Las Vegas.
He made it clear that one of his top priorities would be to recruit top talent and build stronger relationships with key customers, while simplifying Intel's operations.

Tan also highlighted that the Trump administration is prepared to assist Intel, as the government intends to maintain U.S. semiconductor leadership.
&#8220;They are asking me: what can we help with? And definitely, I will come to get their help to do what we need to do,&#8221; Tan said, signaling a collaborative effort to strengthen the company's position in the competitive chip market.

In his inaugural letter to shareholders, Tan spoke about aligning spending with market demand, a strategy that includes maintaining Intel&#8217;s product business and contract chip manufacturing unit, a vision initially set by former CEO Pat Gelsinger. This approach also involves cost-cutting measures, including a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44555938/intels-new-ceo-refuses-to-sugarcoat-the-companys-2024-performance-vows-to-align-spending-with-market-demand">15% workforce reduction</a>.

(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>).

Intel's New CEO Lip-Bu Tan Says Trump Administration Ready To Help Beleagured Chipmaker, Warns 'Bureaucracy Kills Innovation'

The S&amp;P 500, tracked by SPDR S&amp;P 500 (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>), has recorded its largest quarterly underperformance against global markets in 37 years. 
What Happened: The U.S. benchmark index trailed the MSCI All Country World Excluding United States Index by the widest margin since 1988, according to Bloomberg data shared by Barchart on Monday. 
The performance gap marks a notable reversal from recent years when U.S. stocks frequently outpaced international markets.
Large-cap technology stocks drove much of the quarterly decline, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">data from Benzinga Pro</a>. Trade Desk (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TTD#NASDAQ">TTD</a>) fell 53.99%, Deckers Outdoor (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DECK#NYSE">DECK</a>) dropped 46.13%, and Marvell Technology (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRVL#NASDAQ">MRVL</a>) lost 45.40%. Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) declined 38.95% during the period.
The technology sector&#8217;s weakness is reflected in the iShares Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NASDAQ">SOXX</a>), which fell 11.9% in March alone. The broader tech-focused Nasdaq 100 dropped 1.1% as semiconductor <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s/25/03/44567966/stocks-fall-sp-500-eyes-worst-month-in-almost-two-years-oil-rallies-whats-driving-markets-monday">companies weighed on performance</a>.

Why It Matters: Energy emerged as the quarter&#8217;s strongest sector, tracking toward its fourth consecutive positive month with year-to-date gains of 8.5%. The Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLE#NYSE">XLE</a>) outperformed other sectors in recent trading.
Goldman Sachs, citing the changing market dynamics, lowered its S&amp;P 500 earnings growth estimates to 3% for 2025 and 6% for 2026, down from 7% <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/03/44560485/goldman-sachs-slashes-sp-500-price-outlook-as-tariffs-weaker-growth-hit-earnings">previously for both years</a>.

Historical perspective from Bloomberg data indicates the performance gap between U.S. and global stocks has fluctuated significantly over time, with the S&amp;P 500 occasionally outperforming global markets by up to 15 percentage points in the early 1990s, late 1990s, and mid-2000s.

What Happened: The apex cryptocurrency rose to an intraday high of $83,870.12 in the early trading hours before losing steam and falling to the $82,000 range.
Ethereum hit $1,850 before reversing course and stabilizing in the early $1,800 zone.
The spike followed the launch of American Bitcoin, a new firm led in part by President Donald Trump's sons, Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr., aiming to become the world's biggest Bitcoin mining company.
Bitcoin plunged 11.82% during the quarter, marking its worst performance since 2018. Ethereum recorded a much steeper decline at 45%.
About $224 million was liquidated from the market in the last 24 hours, with upside bets accounting for more than 50%.&nbsp;
That said, over $350 million in short positions for the BTC/USDT perpetual futures pair on Binance would be liquidated if the digital asset climbed to $85,000.
Moreover, about 51% of Binance traders were positioned short on Bitcoin, according to the Long/Short Ratio, suggesting a potential pullback.
"Fear" sentiment pervaded the market, according to the Crypto Fear and Greed Index.

Analyst Notes: Popular blockchain analytics firm Santiment noticed a sharp spike in whale wallets, i.e., those holding between 1,000 and 10,000 BTC, amid the ongoing correction.
"There are now 1,993 Bitcoin wallets of this size, which is the highest level since December 2024," Santiment stated.&nbsp;
The firm added that a 2.6% spike in "one of the most important" key stakeholder tiers in cryptocurrency in five weeks could be taken as a "slight sign of confidence."

Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin Rise As Trump Family Foray Into BTC Mining: Whale Wallet Spike 'Slight Sign Of Confidence,' Says Analyst

At Alibaba Group Holding's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) historic IPO in 2014, its co-founder, Jack Ma, spoke about his favorite movie, Forrest Gump, which provided a source of inspiration for the Chinese entrepreneur. Today, 11 years later, Alibaba has transformed into a $319 billion giant.
What Happened: During Alibaba's much-anticipated IPO on the New York Stock Exchange in 2014, in a conversation with CNBC, Ma drew a parallel between his own journey and the perseverance of Forrest Gump, the iconic fictional character played by Tom Hanks.&nbsp;
No matter what happens, "you are you," Ma said, reflecting on his belief in the importance of staying true to one's values and mission despite challenges.

This simple but profound philosophy helped guide Ma and Alibaba through what was then a historic IPO, raising $25 billion—at the time, the largest IPO in U.S. history.
The funds fueled Alibaba's ambitions to build an ecosystem that could serve small businesses in China and across the world, positioning itself as the leader of e-commerce and digital services.
Reflecting on the IPO day, Ma was both excited and overwhelmed, acknowledging that it was a momentous achievement. However, he reiterated that the most important thing for Alibaba was not the money or the stock market but the trust and responsibility the company now had toward its customers and employees.&nbsp;
Subscribe to the&nbsp;<a href="https://bztechtrends.beehiiv.com/subscribe" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Tech Trends newsletter</a>&nbsp;to get all the latest tech developments delivered to your inbox.
Why It Matters: Founded in 1999 by Ma and 17 co-founders, Alibaba began as a platform designed to link Chinese exporters with international buyers, with a strong focus on supporting small businesses.
In January 2000, Alibaba secured a $20M investment from a SoftBank-led group. In May 2003, the company launched Taobao, providing a marketplace for third-party sellers in China.
In December 2004, the Chinese e-commerce giant debuted Alipay and introduced QR code-based payments, which later sparked governance disputes.
In 2005, Yahoo invested $1 billion for a 40% stake, becoming Alibaba's largest shareholder and handing over control of Yahoo China. However, in September 2012, Alibaba repurchased half of Yahoo's stake for $7.6 billion.
Before listing in the U.S., Alibaba carried an IPO in Hong Kong and raised HK$13.1 billion, but in 2012, it delisted from the exchange, paying $2.45 billion to go private.
Tmall was introduced in 2008, and the following year, Alibaba Cloud was launched.&nbsp;
In 2019, Alibaba witnessed a leadership shift as Ma officially stepped down as chairman. Eddie Wu is the current CEO of Alibaba.&nbsp;
Today, Alibaba has become one of the world's most valuable companies, with a market capitalization of $319 billion.
Alibaba has been navigating the challenges posed by U.S. technology controls while advancing its domestic chip-based AI initiatives. In 2018, the company announced plans to make its chip accessible through its cloud platform.
In March, Alibaba introduced a new AI chip, XuanTie C930, to drive <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/emerging-markets/25/03/44229408/alibaba-unveils-new-ai-chip-to-power-chinas-open-source-tech-push-challenge-us-chip-giants">China&#8217;s open-source technology</a> efforts and compete with major US chipmakers.
During the same month, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44536478/alibabas-ai-driven-rally-signals-china-techs-revival-report">Alibaba-backed</a> Ant Group reportedly achieved a significant milestone by successfully training AI models using semiconductors from domestic Chinese companies, resulting in a 20% reduction in costs compared to using Nvidia Corporation&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) chips, despite ongoing reliance on some American technology.
This shift reflects a broader trend among Chinese companies to enhance self-sufficiency in AI development amidst geopolitical tensions.
Price Action: Alibaba shares have surged 55.66% year-to-date. On Monday, the stock dipped 0.15% to $132.23 during the regular session and edged down another 0.068% after hours, <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/">according to Benzinga Pro</a>.

Jack Ma Drew A Parallel Between Himself And Forrest Gump At The Alibaba IPO Over A Decade Ago — The Philosophy Inspired By The Iconic Character Has Helped Build A Tech Giant Worth $319 Billion

Some people turn to Reddit for honest feedback as they look to improve themselves. This trend came up again in the Bogleheads subreddit. A 26-year-old <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/Bogleheads/comments/1jki9nq/roast_my_portfolio/">shared this post</a> where he asked for feedback on his portfolio.&nbsp;
The portfolio consists of the Vanguard Total Stock Market Index Fund ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VTI#NYSE">VTI</a>), Avantis U.S. Small Cap Value ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVUV#NYSE">AVUV</a>), and Vanguard Total International Stock Index Fund ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VXUS#NASDAQ">VXUS</a>).&nbsp;

VTI makes up 75% of his portfolio, AVUV makes up 15%, and VXUS covers the remaining 10%. The Redditor contributes 25% of his gross income to a TSP and an IRA. He's also increasing his contributions every year.
The post got plenty of attention, and Reddit was pretty honest with its feedback.&nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Not Enough International Exposure</h2>
A few commenters were quick to point out that the Redditor's portfolio doesn't have enough exposure to international stocks. One commenter said that this arrangement is only okay if the Redditor believes the U.S. will continue to outperform and that the dollar will remain expensive indefinitely.&nbsp;
When investors decide how to allocate their capital, they should have investment theses guiding some of those decisions. If the Redditor believes U.S. stocks will continue to outperform, then it makes sense that U.S. stocks make up most of his portfolio. However, if the Redditor has any doubts, boosting exposure to international stocks can make sense.
Trending: It&#8217;s no wonder Jeff Bezos holds over $250 million in art — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">this alternative asset has outpaced the S&amp;P 500 since 1995, delivering an average annual return of 11.4%. Here&#8217;s how everyday investors are getting started.</a>
The emphasis on international stocks comes at a time when President Donald Trump's tariffs are impacting global trade. Many people on Reddit are nervous about this development, but the original poster still favors U.S. stocks.
The 26-year-old mentioned that he is optimistic about corporate tax rate cuts, which will further bolster the U.S. as a country with "some of the friendliest business policies in the world."
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Set It and Forget It</h2>
One of the commenters suggested that the Redditor <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/24/05/39009907/are-index-funds-really-the-safest-set-and-forget-investment-option">sets and forgets his portfolio</a>. At this point, the Redditor should continue to invest while focusing on increasing his income. The Redditor seems to have this mentality based on a desire to increase his contribution each year. Furthermore, he is providing for a wife and two kids, and you get into a different mindset when you have to provide for others.

The commenter once again suggested that the 26-year-old increases his exposure to international stocks. However, the commenter also suggested lowering small cap exposure once he reaches his 30s.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Roasts Were Light</h2>
When you buy a few ETFs, there isn't as much roasting you can do about someone's portfolio. The Redditor has three ETFs, with VTI making up the bulk of the portfolio. While growth-oriented ETFs can deliver higher returns, it's important to consider your <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44217823/when-uncertainty-becomes-unambiguously-high">risk tolerance</a> before getting started.
The Redditor is on active duty and plans to stay in the military for 20 years to get the retirement benefits. Those significant benefits and steady investments will make it easier for the Redditor to achieve his goal of retiring before he turns 50.

Cathie Wood Defies CoreWeave IPO Slump, Ark Snaps Up $3.6 Million Worth Of Stock In Nvidia-Backed Company

Elon Musk may be one of the wealthiest and most powerful figures in the world, but one analyst and political economist says he might be getting played. In a recent <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=93r-C3_m5cY">interview</a> with Bloomberg Businessweek, Ed Price, a senior fellow at New York University, claimed that Musk is being used as a temporary asset in a broader political strategy centered around Donald Trump.
&#8220;Elon Musk is supposed to be a genius. He doesn&#8217;t realize he&#8217;s the fall guy,&#8221; Price said. &#8220;He&#8217;s going to be ousted at some point when [Department of Government Efficiency] goes too far, which it will.&#8221;

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Used, Then Discarded?</h2>
According to Price, Musk's alignment with Trump and involvement in DOGE is more about political optics than genuine partnership. He believes Musk is being positioned as a high-profile figure to test the waters for more radical moves, and will be conveniently blamed if things go sideways.
&#8220;Trump is going to need someone that wasn't confirmed by the Senate to get rid of quickly, and that's Musk,&#8221; Price said. &#8220;When challenged, Musk will be quite easy to peel off.&#8221;
Price pointed to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44466170/why-the-hate-and-violence-against-me-elon-musk-questions-backlash-says-hes-only-made-products-people-love-never-physically-hurt-anyone">Musk's recent appearance on Fox News</a>, saying the tech mogul looked like he was "starting to realize that maybe he's in trouble."

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Splitting America in Two</h2>
Price's comments come from a broader analysis he published, arguing that Trump represents a shift away from the constitutional values of 1789—the rule-of-law republic—and toward the rebellious spirit of 1776.
"Trump's absolute structural purpose is to split those two things in half," Price said, referring to the legalistic United States and the emotional, nationalist America.
He believes Trump's goal is to concentrate power by appealing to the public's populist instincts, not by shrinking government, but by bending it to serve one powerful figure.
"Trump wants a smaller government, which he then says is more efficient," Price explained. "But that's disingenuous because what he actually wants is a more powerful government."

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Is Canada Next?</h2>
In one of the more eye-opening parts of the interview, Price warned that Trump's ambitions could stretch beyond the U.S. border. He even suggested Trump might be <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43582659/trump-says-canada-much-better-off-being-the-51st-state-the-border-with-us-is-just-a-line">serious about annexing Canada</a> and Greenland.
&#8220;I think Donald Trump&#8217;s vision is a big Sharpie around the entire of North America, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/25/02/43561516/trump-shouldnt-have-greenland-why-the-arctic-island-is-rejecting-a-us-buyout">including Greenland</a>, with &#8216;Trump Land&#8217; written on it,&#8221; Price said.
He acknowledged that such a scenario would require military action and is likely unrealistic, but he emphasized that Trump's rhetoric shouldn't be dismissed.

If They Could Show A Plan For Ending World Hunger He'd Donate $6 Billion – ‘I Will Sell Tesla Stock Right Now And Do It'</a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Market Impact and Global Democracy</h2>
Price also touched on how the markets have reacted—or failed to react—to Trump's recent moves.
When asked whether equity and bond markets have&nbsp; been a check on the president or not, he said, &#8220;He&#8217;s unrestrained.&#8221;
When discussing foreign policy, Price expressed concern that Trump might cede Taiwan to China, signaling a retreat from defending global democracy while maintaining domestic electoral support.
&#8220;Democracy is OK because we voted for him. The Republic might not be,&#8221; Price said.
In Price's view, Musk may be riding high now, but he could ultimately end up being a disposable piece in a much larger political game.

Analyst Says, 'Elon Musk Doesn't Realize He's The Fall Guy' Who's Going To Be 'Ousted When DOGE Goes Too Far'

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) avoided answering a question on Monday about whether President Donald Trump could pursue a third term in office. 
What Happened: When asked by a reporter if Trump could run again, Graham replied, "Ask me in '27," before leaving the scene, <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/5224532-trump-third-term-constitutional/">reported</a> The Hill.
This exchange occurred amidst ongoing discussions about the possibility of Trump seeking a third term. The U.S. Constitution, through the 22nd Amendment, restricts individuals to two presidential terms. However, Trump has repeatedly hinted at the idea, sparking debates and speculation.
On Sunday, Trump told NBC News about potential loopholes that might enable him to serve another term, stating,&nbsp;"A lot of people want&nbsp;me to do it." He emphasized that his current focus is on his ongoing administration. Despite the constitutional limitations,&nbsp;Trump has floated the idea&nbsp;several times, including during a St. Patrick's Day event with the Irish prime minister.
Some observers suggest Trump's remarks might be aimed at provoking Democrats. Meanwhile, Rep. Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.) proposed a constitutional amendment in January to allow Trump another term, citing his impact on reversing national decline.

Why It Matters: The idea of a third term for Trump has been a recurring theme in his public appearances. In May 2024, during the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38909755/donald-trump-for-third-term-ex-president-floats-controversial-idea-at-nra-convention">NRA Convention</a>, Trump drew comparisons to Franklin D. Roosevelt, who served four terms, and received applause for his suggestion. This has fueled ongoing discussions about the constitutional limits of presidential terms.
Trump mentioned the possibility of a third term on Sunday while acknowledging that his current term is his priority. He noted that many people support the idea of him seeking another term. The president stressed that he has a &#8220;long way to go&#8221; in his present administration before considering another stint in the White House.

Lindsey Graham Dodges Third Term Question After Trump Makes It Amply Clear He's Not Joking About It

Billionaire entrepreneur Mark Cuban says he doesn't need a political title to shake up big systems—and if he were ever asked to replace Elon Musk in running the government, he'd still aim to shrink it dramatically.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Cuban Would Still Shrink Government—Just With a Plan</h2>
&#8220;Trying to cut the size of government&#8230; and cutting a lot of people for better or worse, comes with the territory,&#8221; Cuban said on a recent <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=di3AqpoLI74">episode</a> of &#8220;The Lincoln Project Podcast.&#8221; &#8220;You can&#8217;t make government smaller and not cut hundreds of thousands, if not, you know, some significant number.&#8221;

</ul>
Cuban joined host Rick Wilson for a wide-ranging discussion about politics, tech culture, healthcare, and economic policy. Throughout the interview, Cuban stressed the importance of planning and transparency, and his belief that without a strategy, drastic government cuts result in more harm than good.
&#8220;Shock and awe is great, but if there&#8217;s no plan behind shock and awe, it&#8217;s just shock and awful,&#8221; he said.
Cuban recently slammed changes to Social Security as a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44498325/gonna-be-some-upset-seniors-at-town-halls-says-mark-cuban-he-calls-doge-social-security-actions-a-back-door-move-to-cut-payments">stealthy way to reduce benefits</a>.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Government Cuts: Not If, But How</h2>
Cuban said he agreed with the idea of making government smaller, something he says he discussed with then-presidential candidate Kamala Harris while campaigning for her. But he disagrees with how it&#8217;s being done by current political leaders.
&#8220;What they&#8217;ve done is ready, fire, aim,&#8221; he said. According to him, there&#8217;s a right way to do it, with a staggered plan that communicates what you&#8217;re doing, &#8220;so there&#8217;s not chaos and economic uncertainty.&#8221;
He warned that slashing government jobs and funding without a plan can result in severe second-order effects, especially in small towns. &#8220;They&#8217;re cutting the forestry service and a lot of those people live in small towns in the state of Washington or the state of Oregon, and now all of a sudden, those towns, their economies are decimated.&#8221;
He also pointed out that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/02/43853560/we-are-not-waste-education-researchers-slam-elon-musks-881-million-cuts-that-shut-down-studies-on-student-learning-and-school-data">cutting college grants and research budgets</a> leads to layoffs, impacting contractors, communities and the economy at large.

If They Could Show A Plan For Ending World Hunger He'd Donate $6 Billion – ‘I Will Sell Tesla Stock Right Now And Do It'</a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Not a Politician, but Still Speaking Out</h2>
Cuban made it known that he&#8217;s not running for office. But as a self-made billionaire, he said he&#8217;s in a unique position to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44431190/billionaire-mark-cuban-questions-motives-behind-national-turnaround-efforts-asks-who-will-be-worse-off-in-the-us-economic-shift">call things like he sees them</a> without worrying about political fallout.
&#8220;I got rich as f&#x2A;&#x2A;&#x2A;, so I didn't have to care what anybody thought,&#8221; Cuban said. &#8220;I'm focused on doing something I think is very beneficial, which is Cost Plus Drugs and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/12/42742855/mark-cuban-says-this-is-single-payer-how-his-healthcare-model-could-transform-the-u-s-healthcare-system">changing health care and trying to save lives and save money</a>.&#8221;
Unlike many political donors, Cuban said he doesn't give money to candidates. Instead, he wants his ideas to stand on their own: &#8220;Either my ideas hold up and you think there&#8217;s value in them or they don&#8217;t. And if they don&#8217;t, that&#8217;s fine too.&#8221;

Here's How Much You Would Have Made Owning Fiserv Stock In The Last 5 Years

President <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/trump">Donald Trump </a>appointed journalist Sara Carter as the next director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP), or the &#8220;drug czar,&#8221; <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-appoints-sara-carter-next-drug-czar-says-she-will-lead-charge-protect-us">reported</a> Fox News, quoting the president's comments on social media.
"It is my great honor to announce Sara Carter as our next Director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP). Sara is an Award Winning Journalist, who has been on the front lines of this International Fight for decades," Trump <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114241662387997605">wrote</a> on Truth Social. "From Afghanistan to our Border, Sarah's relentless pursuit of Justice, especially in tackling the Fentanyl and Opioid Crisis, has exposed terrorists, drug lords, and sex traffickers. As our next Drug Czar, Sara will lead the charge to protect our Nation, and save our children from the scourge of drugs.
Like most of Trump&#8217;s appointees and cabinet members, Carter is a former Fox News contributor who has called for stronger border policies.
What sets her apart is that Carter has called medical marijuana a "fantastic" treatment for seriously ill people and apparently, she has no problem with legalizing cannabis. But, it's not her cup of tea.
"I don't have any problem if it's legalized and it's monitored," she said in her podcast The Sara Carter Show, <a href="https://www.marijuanamoment.net/trumps-new-white-house-drug-czar-called-medical-marijuana-a-fantastic-treatment-for-cancer-patients/">reported</a> Marijuana Moment. "I mean, I may have my own issues of how I feel about that, but I do believe that cannabis for medicinal purposes and medical reasons is a fantastic way of handling — especially for people with cancer and other illnesses, you know — of handling the illness and the side effects of the medication and those illnesses. So I'm not saying we've gotta make it illegal."
During his presidential campaign, Trump himself <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/08/40666944/donald-trump-supports-cannabis-legalization-in-florida-game-changer-and-huge-blow-to-ron-desanti" target="_blank" rel="noopener">made overtures</a> to that same idea. However, he has since barely mentioned the idea of federally legalizing cannabis and welcoming the $30 billion industry into the fold.

Trump's New Drug Czar: Cannabis Is 'Fantastic' For People With Serious Illnesses

President Donald Trump is preparing to announce his most expansive tariff plan to date, set to take effect on April 2 — a date he has dubbed &#8220;Liberation Day.&#8221; While specifics remain unclear, he has said the plan will impose &#8220;reciprocal tariffs&#8221; on countries deemed to have unfair trade barriers against U.S. goods, with some nations set to face steeper <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/25/03/44566164/exclusive-could-trumps-liberation-day-reciprocal-tariffs-crash-the-stock-market-48-say-this">consequences than others. </a>
What To Know: Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has hinted at targeting a subset of nations he referred to as the &#8220;Dirty 15&#8221; in a Fox Business interview on March 18. Bessent described the "Dirty 15" as the 15% of nations that account for the bulk of U.S. trading volume and impose hefty tariffs and other barriers on U.S. goods.&nbsp;

National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett similarly cited 10 to 15 countries responsible for the U.S.'s $1 trillion trade deficit, though neither official named specific nations.
Dirty 15: A CNBC<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/03/31/trump-tariffs-dirty-15-reciprocal-retaliation.html"> report pointed</a> to 2024 data from the Department of Commerce that identified China, the EU, Mexico, Vietnam, Germany, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, Canada, India, Thailand, Italy, Switzerland, Malaysia, Indonesia, France, Austria and Sweden.
A separate U.S. Trade representative notice flagged 21 countries in which it is "particularly interested" as part of a review of <a href="https://ustr.gov/about-us/policy-offices/press-office/press-releases/2025/february/ustr-seeks-comment-public-unfair-and-non-reciprocal-foreign-trade-practices-0">unfair trade practices</a>. The countries listed were: Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, the EU, India, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Mexico, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, the U.K. and Vietnam.
It remains unclear exactly which countries will be targeted in Wednesday's tariff announcements. CNBC said the White House did not respond to its request for clarification on the forthcoming tariffs or the Dirty 15.
Trump on Sunday dismissed the idea of limiting tariffs to a select group, stating the measures would &#8220;start with all countries&#8221; and lack a &#8220;cutoff.&#8221; Trump's comments contradicted earlier suggestions of a narrower focus and fueled market volatility, with global stocks sliding ahead of the announcement.
The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>), tracking the S&amp;P 500, shed 5.86% over the past month and the Invesco QQQ Trust (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), tracking the Nasdaq 100 index, dropped 7.72% in March amid the political and economic uncertainty.
