FBI Targets Tesla Protests, Rivian's Micromobility Spin-Off, And Waymo's Parking Fines: This Week In Mobility

Jim Cramer, host of CNBC's "Mad Money," has recently highlighted a range of stocks that some believe will withstand market volatility and provide steady long-term returns. His recommendations often spark both interest and discussion among investors.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Market Movements and Mixed Signals</h2>
Coca-Cola (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KO#NYSE">KO</a>) remains among Cramer's top choices. The beverage giant posted a 6% increase in <a href="https://www.coca-colacompany.com/media-center/coca-cola-reports-fourth-quarter-and-full-year-2024-results">fourth-quarter revenue</a>, reaching $11.5 billion, while adjusted earnings per share rose 12% to $0.51.&nbsp;

Organic revenue climbed 14% and global unit case volume edged up 2%. With a dividend yield of 2.91% and a record of 63 consecutive years of dividend increases, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44461710/warren-buffetts-24b-coca-cola-bet-still-pays-off-stock-nears-record-high-as-big-money-managers-scoop-up-shares">Coca-Cola</a> continues to be viewed as a stable investment in a turbulent market.
According to <a href="https://www.ainvest.com/news/jim-cramer-on-coca-cola-company-ko-definitely-a-stock-that-is-worth-owning-24101010c0e219af95fc94ce/">AInvest</a>, Coca-Cola's strategic partnerships with Brown-Forman (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BF#NYSE">BF</a>, BF.B)) and Molson Coors Beverage (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TAP#NYSE">TAP</a>) mark a significant expansion into the alcoholic beverage market.

In the banking sector, JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>) has also caught Cramer's attention. According to <a href="https://www.insidermonkey.com/blog/jpmorgan-jpm-way-too-cheap-at-14x-earnings-jim-cramer-calls-it-the-premier-bank-1446450/">Insider Monkey</a>, he referred to JPMorgan as the &#8220;premier bank&#8221; and noted that its stock is &#8220;way too cheap&#8221; at 14 times earnings. The bank reported a record annual profit of $58.5 billion, bolstered by a fourth-quarter showing with net income of $4.81 per share and revenue of $4.7 billion, up 6% year over year.&nbsp;

Record payments revenue reached $18.1 billion. JPMorgan Chase&#8217;s stock closed at $251.13 on March 25, reflecting a 40.14% increase over the past 52 weeks. The stock offers a dividend yield of 1.99%.
Amazon (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), the e-commerce and cloud computing giant, also features among Cramer's picks. Despite a near 11% drop in its stock price over the past month following a dip in cloud computing revenue, the company remains influential.&nbsp;

CoreWeave IPO, Elon Musk'x xAI Acquires X, Microsoft's Wake-Up Call, China's Huawei Makes Advances, And More: This Week In AI

Concerns about the future of Social Security have been growing among Americans, especially those nearing retirement. On a recent <a href="https://omny.fm/shows/suze-ormans-women-and-money/suze-school-how-much-do-you-know-about-social-secu">episode</a> of her "Women &amp; Money" podcast, Suze Orman addressed these fears head-on, offering her perspective on potential changes to the system — including the likelihood that the full retirement age could increase to 70.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Full Retirement Age Could Rise to 70</h2>
Orman didn't hold back when discussing the possibility of <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">changes to Social Security</a>. &#8220;I have no doubt that they&#8217;re going to raise the full retirement age, possibly to 70 from 67,&#8221; she said. This wouldn't be unprecedented — in 1983, the FRA was raised from 65 to 67 for those born in 1960 or later. Orman stated that any increase in the FRA would likely apply to future retirees rather than those already receiving benefits.

<li>Warren Buffett once said, "If you don't find a way to make money while you sleep, you will work until you die."<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/warren-buffet-make-money-when-you-sleep"> Here&#8217;s how you can earn passive income with just $100.</a></li>
</ul>
Orman also suggested that the age for collecting delayed retirement benefits, which currently max out at 70, could be extended to 73. This would give future retirees a longer window to maximize their monthly Social Security checks by delaying their claims.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Tax Changes Could Be Part of the Solution</h2>
In addition to adjusting the FRA, Orman said that changes to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/02/43831371/eliminating-social-security-income-taxes-would-cost-1-5-trillion-and-deplete-the-trust-fund-by-2032-who-wins-and-who-loses">Social Security taxes</a> could help stabilize the system. Currently, only income up to $176,100 is subject to Social Security payroll taxes. Orman suggested removing this cap altogether, so high earners would continue contributing to Social Security on all of their income.
&#8220;They should just make that unlimited, that you all pay Social Security tax no matter how much money you make,&#8221; Orman said. Increasing the taxable income threshold or eliminating it could help address Social Security's long-term funding challenges.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Advice for Future and Current Retirees</h2>
While Orman advised listeners not to panic, she did recommend taking a few steps to stay prepared:
<ul>
<li>Request and Keep Your Social Security Statements – Orman advised keeping printed records of your Social Security statements. Having a physical copy can help ensure you have access to your earnings and benefits history, even if online records are lost or unavailable.</li>
<li>Get Familiar with the System – Orman stressed the importance of understanding how Social Security works. Knowing the ins and outs of claiming benefits, spousal benefits, and survivor benefits can help retirees make informed decisions.</li>
<li>Prepare for Reduced Access to In-Person Help – Orman acknowledged that the Social Security Administration has been cutting staff and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44476775/mark-cuban-we-all-want-to-eliminate-corruption-but-what-corruption-do-social-security-office-closures-actually-solve">closing offices</a>, which could make it harder to get assistance. She recommended having a trusted family member or friend available to help navigate the system online if needed.</li>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Outlook on Social Security's Future</h2>
While Orman's comments reflect widespread concerns about <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44427073/larry-fink-says-the-u-s-needs-a-social-security-plan-where-every-american-can-grow-with-our-economy">Social Security's sustainability</a>, she reassured listeners that existing benefits are not currently at risk. However, future adjustments — such as raising the FRA or increasing the taxable income threshold — seem likely as lawmakers look for ways to strengthen the program.
&#8220;Stop worrying about it right now,&#8221; Orman said, while adding that retirees should gain all the knowledge they can on Social Security in order to protect themselves.&nbsp;

'I Have No Doubt They're Going To Raise The Full Retirement Age, Possibly To 70' Suze Orman Weighs In On Social Security Fears

XRP&#8217;s Legal Win: A Boost Amid Stablecoin Surge
Despite Ripple Labs&#8217; recent legal victory over the SEC, where it agreed to a reduced penalty of $50 million, experts are divided on whether XRP (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/xrp/usd">XRP</a>) can benefit from the current stablecoin rally.

Apple Shakes Up Leadership, Introduces New Features, And Faces A Siri Crisis: This Week In Appleverse

The past week has been a rollercoaster ride for the financial world. From President Donald Trump&#8217;s controversial auto tariffs to the Federal Reserve&#8217;s stance on inflation, the market has been buzzing with activity. Let&#8217;s dive into the top stories that shaped the week.
Trump&#8217;s Auto Tariffs Stir Concern
President Trump&#8217;s announcement of a 25% tariff on auto imports has caused a stir among economists and market analysts. The tariffs, set to take effect on April 3, aim to boost domestic auto manufacturing but could trigger significant market disruption. Prominent economists like Peter Schiff have warned that the tariffs will increase car prices and potentially put upward pressure on interest rates.

Federal Reserve&#8217;s Inflation Stance Questioned
Economist Craig Shapiro has accused the Federal Reserve of "gaslighting the public," after the President of the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, Tom Barkin, said that inflation is not "de-anchored". Barkin acknowledged that the U.S. economy has been through a significant inflationary period.

Coyote Tests</a>
Gold Hits Record High
Gold has reached another record high, and renowned economist Peter Schiff attributes this to declining trust in the U.S. dollar and the certainty of inflation exceeding 2%. Schiff, a well-known critic of U.S. monetary policy and an advocate for gold, expressed his views on the recent surge in gold prices.

US GDP Growth Upwardly Revised
Economic data released Thursday morning showed a marginal upward revision to U.S. gross domestic product growth for the fourth quarter of 2024, alongside a narrower but still historically high goods trade deficit for February. The U.S. economy expanded at an annualized rate of 2.4% in the fourth quarter of 2024, up from the previously estimated 2.3.

Trump's Tariffs, Fed's Inflation Stance, Gold's Record High, And GDP Growth: This Week In Economy

The past week was filled with significant developments, from oil and gas executives expressing their frustration with President Donald Trump&#8217;s drilling policies to Vice President JD Vance raising security concerns over Greenland. Here&#8217;s a quick recap of the top stories.
Oil and Gas Executives Challenge Trump&#8217;s Drilling Agenda
Leaders in the oil and gas industry expressed their dissatisfaction with President Trump&#8217;s drilling policies, according to a quarterly survey released by the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas. Trump&#8217;s campaign promise to bring down prices through increased domestic drilling has not sat well with energy executives who are seeking more stability.

JD Vance Questions Denmark&#8217;s Ability to Protect Greenland
Vice President JD Vance has voiced concerns over Denmark&#8217;s ability to safeguard Greenland, suggesting that the U.S. could provide better security. During a visit to the U.S. military base at Pituffik in Greenland, Vance emphasized the strategic importance of the Arctic territory and criticized Denmark&#8217;s lack of resources to protect the region from potential threats.

Trump&#8217;s Approval Rating Hits New Low

Oil Execs Challenge Trump's Drilling Agenda, JD Vance Criticizes Denmark, And More: This Week In Politics

Dividend stocks are gaining traction as investors look to diversify their portfolios amid tariff volatility and geopolitical uncertainties. Given their strong contribution to market returns, dividend stocks are an appealing investment option. Data <a href="https://www.troweprice.com/content/dam/trp-ecl/global/en/ipc/assets/trpis-trpa/2025/q1/three-ways-growing-dividends-can-add-value-for-investors/three-ways-growing-dividends-can-add-value-for-investors.pdf">shows</a> that from December 1994 through the end of last year, reinvested dividends accounted for about 46% of the S&amp;P 500 total return.
But which dividend stocks can help you generate significant income over the long term? Let&#8217;s see a case study for ideas.

About a month ago, someone asked investors on r/Dividends — a Reddit discussion board with 680,000 followers — whether anyone was able to live comfortably off dividends and what kind of capital investments were needed to make over $50,000 in dividends.&nbsp;
The question received more than 150 comments, with many investors sharing interesting income reports and advice. However, one comment caught our attention.
An investor said he was making $170,000 in dividends and interest. He advised investors not to focus too much on yield and avoid spending from their dividend income.
"It's just math. And the time/patience needed to accumulate, which in my case was about 35 years. Just a tip: paying for random expenses with small amounts of dividend while you are accumulating is a great way to choke your future wealth," he said.
The investor, 58, said his total portfolio worth was $4.8 million and he retired in 2021.
"Retirement isn&#8217;t paradise, but I have zero regrets and I&#8217;m up $1.2MM since retiring, despite spending plenty during the past 3.5 years," he said in a separate comment.

Early Retiree Making $170,00 a Year in Dividends Shares Top 7 Stock Picks, Says 'I've Zero Regrets'

Warren Buffett doesn't flaunt it. He's not the type to show off his billions with a private island or 24-karat shoelaces. He still lives in the Omaha <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/02/43612207/warren-buffett-has-lived-in-his-31500-home-for-67-years-and-calls-it-one-of-his-best-investments-but-warned-a-house-can-be-a-nightmare">house he bought for $31,500 in 1958</a>. Orders the same McDonald's breakfast. Plays bridge online. And yet—every once in a while—the Oracle of Omaha drops a flex so enormous it makes you question the entire economy.
"If I wanted to, I could hire 10,000 people to do nothing but paint my picture every day for the rest of my life."
That's the version most people know, reported by <a href="https://harpers.org/archive/2010/01/the-church-of-warren-buffett/">Harper's Magazine in 2010</a>. Classic Buffett: deadpan, a little absurd, and sneakily insightful. But in <a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2009/05/is-warren-buffett-a-terrible-person/17800/">The Atlantic</a> a year earlier, they printed an expanded version of the same quote — one with more teeth.

<li><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">Are you rich?</a> Here&#8217;s what Americans think you need to be considered wealthy.</li>
</ul>
Buffett explained he doesn't feel guilty about having money. What he feels is awareness. His wealth is, as he put it, "an enormous number of claim checks on society"—pieces of paper he could trade in for anything. Including 10,000 personal portrait artists. That spending would technically boost GNP. It would create jobs. It would register as growth. But the value? Zero.
Worse, it would pull those 10,000 people away from doing something useful—like teaching, nursing, or, say, researching a cure for cancer.
Back then, it sounded like a clever thought experiment. Now? It hits a little differently.
Today, entire industries revolve around work that's arguably just as decorative. Consultants hired to advise other consultants. Influencers selling productivity hacks they copied from other influencers. AI bots creating content for other AI bots to "engage" with. There's more movement than ever—but are we actually getting anywhere?

Buffett's portrait-painting analogy is a gut check: not everything that counts as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/02/43975331/warren-buffett-paid-5-billion-in-taxes-and-says-if-800-other-companies-paid-their-share-no-one-else-would-have-to-pay-a-dime">economic activity creates real value</a>.
Sure, those 10,000 painters would earn a paycheck. The GNP would get a bump. But in the end, we'd just be left with a warehouse full of Buffett portraits and a very weird museum exhibit. Nothing society needs—just money moving in a circle.
And this isn't about judging jobs. It's about questioning incentives. Buffett was pointing out how easy it is to mistake busywork for progress when the system is built to reward volume over substance.
"Inactivity strikes us as intelligent behavior," he once wrote, in the <a href="https://www.berkshirehathaway.com/letters/1996.html">1997 Berkshire Hathaway annual shareholder letter</a>.&nbsp;

Buffett made billions sitting in a quiet room reading annual reports, while the rest of the world sprinted in circles. Inactivity, in his case, wasn't laziness—it was discipline. Focus. A refusal to chase the noise. And it worked.
He could've had anything. Instead, he chose to think.
That's the paradox that still echoes today: The man with enough wealth to do everything chose to do less—because he understood what real value looks like. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/11/41866296/with-warren-buffett-donating-99-of-his-fortune-whats-left-for-his-three-children-well-its-complicated">Not just in dollars, but in impact</a>.

Warren Buffett Once Said He Could Hire 10,000 People to Paint His Face—And It Might Be the Most Brutal Economic Truth You'll Hear All Day

In a less volatile market environment, the world&#8217;s leading&nbsp;commodity traders are still making&nbsp;historically high profits.
What Happened:&nbsp;Top executives and bankers from the largest trading houses have indicated that, while earnings for 2024 and Q1 2025 are expected to&nbsp;be lower than the boom&nbsp;years of 2022-2023, they remain&nbsp;higher than almost any other&nbsp;time in history.
These trading houses, some of the world&#8217;s largest companies by annual turnover, have enjoyed a significant windfall since the Ukraine invasion and subsequent energy crisis, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-03-29/commodity-traders-profits-stay-high-as-post-ukraine-invasion-surge-wanes?srnd=homepage-americas&amp;sref=TBDibEcD">reports</a> Bloomberg.
The&nbsp;four leading privately-owned energy traders&nbsp;—&nbsp;Vitol Group,&nbsp;Trafigura Group,&nbsp;Mercuria Energy Group Ltd.&nbsp;and&nbsp;Gunvor Group&nbsp;— reported combined profits exceeding&nbsp;$50 billion in 2022 and&nbsp;2023.
Despite a retreat from the extreme volatility and high prices of 2022, the industry continues to benefit from trade flow disruptions, tariffs, sanctions, and&nbsp;the crisis in the Red&nbsp;Sea. The major&nbsp;players are also beginning to&nbsp;see returns on&nbsp;billions of dollars invested in&nbsp;assets and diversification into new&nbsp;markets.

Why It Matters: The ongoing profitability of these commodity traders underscores the resilience of the sector in the face of global crises. 
The Ukraine invasion and subsequent energy crisis provided a significant boost to these companies, and they have managed to maintain high profits even as the market has stabilized.
Their ability to adapt to changing market conditions, leverage trade flow disruptions, and diversify into new markets has allowed them to continue to thrive. 
This suggests that these companies are well-positioned to navigate future market uncertainties and continue to deliver strong returns.

Commodity Trading Giants Continue to Rake in Billions Amid Cooling Market

Esteemed investor Ray Dalio once compared timing the market to competing in the Olympics, suggesting that the former is an even greater challenge.
What Happened: Speaking in a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmNji5adQew">podcast</a> in 2022, Dalio shared his insights and cautioned against attempting to forecast stock trends, arguing that most individuals are not adequately prepared for such a task.
Dalio also identified a common error among investors: assuming that markets that have risen are good investments, rather than simply being more costly. 
"Don't try to time the market yourself because you'll probably lose. The most common mistake of investors is to think that the markets that went up are good investments rather than more expensive," he said.
He provided an example of a high-performing fund where the average investor lost money due to&nbsp;attempts to time the market.
"Every time it was up they bought it, and every time it was down they sold it. So their bad market timing was because they were reactive, thinking it's a great investment when it's up a lot," Dalio added.

His advice aligns with that of investment guru&nbsp;Warren Buffett, who stated&nbsp;in 1994 that he never&nbsp;tries to time the market. Instead, Dalio recommends considering&nbsp;low-cost index funds and holding&nbsp;onto them. 
This type of&nbsp;diversified fund typically remains relatively stable, avoiding the fluctuations associated with selecting individual stocks.
Why It Matters: Ray Dalio&#8217;s advice comes at a time when many investors are grappling with market volatility and uncertainty. 
His comparison of market timing to the Olympics underscores the difficulty and risk involved in such attempts. 
His endorsement of low-cost index funds as a safer alternative could influence investor strategies moving forward, particularly among those who have been burned by unsuccessful&nbsp;attempts to time the market.

Ray Dalio's Timeless Stock Market Advice: 'Don't Try to Time the Market Yourself Because You'll Probably Lose'

Iran has responded to U.S. President Donald Trump&#8217;s letter urging direct negotiations to curb the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/03/44211072/iran-dismisses-trumps-nuclear-negotiation-proposal-accuses-us-of-coercion" rel="noreferrer noopener">country&#8217;s advancing nuclear program.</a>
The New York Times <a target="_blank" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/28/world/middleeast/iran-negotiations-trump-letter.html" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported </a>that Tehran, while not accepting face-to-face talks, signaled a willingness to engage in indirect negotiations, leaving the door open for diplomatic efforts without fully committing to direct discussions.
The letter, delivered by UAE diplomat Anwar Gargash on March 12, contained a mix of threats and potential diplomatic opportunities, including a call for a verification program to ensure Iran&#8217;s nuclear activities were peaceful.
Kamal Kharazi, top foreign policy adviser to Iran&#8217;s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei, stated that the Islamic Republic is not closing all doors and is open to indirect talks with the U.S., The New York Times adds.

The decision to keep the dialogue indirect is rooted in Tehran&#8217;s position that talks cannot happen under &#8220;maximum pressure&#8221; from sanctions and military threats.
Iran&#8217;s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi echoed this sentiment, asserting that while Tehran would not engage in direct talks under such conditions, indirect negotiations were possible, as they have occurred in the past, the report adds.
The Trump administration has warned of military action if Iran&#8217;s nuclear ambitions continue unchecked.
In the letter, Trump expressed his preference for diplomacy over military strikes, but also set a two-month deadline for negotiations.
Meanwhile, Iran has rejected the notion that it is seeking nuclear weapons, maintaining its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes, though concerns persist over its stockpiled uranium and enriched material.
With tensions mounting, Israel and the U.S. have suggested that targeted military strikes on Iran&#8217;s nuclear facilities, such as Natanz and Fordow, could be an option if negotiations fail.

How Hormel Foods, ALLETE, And Alliant Energy Can Put Cash In Your Pocket

Mark Cuban warned Friday about the dangers of over-reliance on artificial intelligence in the workplace.
What Happened: Cuban emphasized that AI should be utilized as a tool to augment existing skills, rather than replacing them.
Cuban, while participating in a SXSW <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vkJfCMycJRk">panel</a> discussion on Friday, underscored the significance of AI in the current professional environment. However, he cautioned against expecting AI to instantly master skills such as writing or video editing.
&#8220;AI is never the answer;&nbsp;AI is the tool,&#8221; Cuban&nbsp;stated. 
He pointed out that while AI can execute tasks like scripting and video editing, it lacks the ability to judge the quality of a story. Hence, creativity and pre-existing skills remain crucial.
&#8220;While AI can write scripts and edit videos, it can't discern what is a good or bad story. So you need to be creative. Whatever skills you have, AI can amplify them," Cuban added.

Cuban also drew attention to the potential risk of overlooking AI, asserting that its application&nbsp;&#8220;could be the difference between&nbsp;[your competition] getting ahead of&nbsp;you or not.&#8221;
Leaders of prominent AI companies, such as OpenAI CEO&nbsp;Sam Altman&nbsp;and Nvidia CEO&nbsp;Jensen Huang, employ AI for routine administrative tasks. Huang also&nbsp;uses an AI chatbot tutor&nbsp;for daily learning about various subjects.
Experts like Stanford professor&nbsp;Steve Blank&nbsp;recommend becoming familiar with AI to maximize its benefits. Cuban concurred, stating that proficiency with AI could enhance one&#8217;s career or personal earnings.
Why It Matters: Cuban&#8217;s comments highlight the ongoing debate about the role of AI in the workplace. While AI can automate routine tasks and increase efficiency, Cuban&#8217;s caution against over-reliance on AI underscores the importance of human skills and creativity in the professional landscape. 
His statement serves as a reminder that while AI can be a powerful tool, it should not replace human skills and judgment.

Mark Cuban Advises Against Sole Dependence on AI for Work, Says It's 'Never the Answer'

Elon Musk, the father of 14 children, expressed his concern over the declining birth rates in western countries.
What Happened:&nbsp;In a recent interview, Musk raised concerns about the falling&nbsp;birth rates across the West. He stated, &#8220;the birth rate is very&nbsp;low in almost every country.&nbsp;And unless that changes, civilization&nbsp;will disappear.&#8221;
Speaking <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/video/6370709800112">with</a> Fox News, Musk pointed out that the United States recorded its lowest birth rate ever last year. He also mentioned that South Korea&#8217;s birth rate is one-third the replacement rate. He cautioned that if this trend persists, &#8220;Humanity is dying.&#8221;
"Well, there are a lot of things that I suppose I worry about, and so many things will seem esoteric to people. You know, the birth rate is very low in almost every country. And unless that changes, civilization will disappear," Musk said when asked about the biggest thing that keeps him up at night. 
"America had the lowest birth rate I believe ever, that was last year. Places like Korea, the birth rate is one-third replacement rate. That means in three generations, Korea will be 3 percent or 4 percent of its current size. Nothing seems to be turning that around. Humanity is dying. And people—it's just not something we evolve to react to," he added.

Musk, a father to 14 children with four women, also shared his apprehensions about the future of America and western civilization. He stressed the significance of a robust America as the central pillar supporting civilization.
As per the data from the CDC, the U.S. fertility rate hit a record low last year, marking the second year in a row&nbsp;of declining birth rates. South&nbsp;Korea&#8217;s birth rate is even lower, with about 4.7 babies born per 1,000 people.
Musk&#8217;s concern is specifically&nbsp;about the birth rate in&nbsp;predominantly white, western countries. He has not advocated for measures like immigration from high birth rate countries to counter America&#8217;s potential population decline.
Why It Matters: Musk&#8217;s comments come at a time when many western countries are grappling with the implications of declining birth rates. 
These include potential labor shortages, economic stagnation, and challenges to social security systems. While immigration can help mitigate some of these issues, it is not a panacea and comes with its own set of challenges. 
The concerns raised by Musk underscore the need for comprehensive policies to address demographic shifts and ensure the sustainability of western societies.

Elon Musk Reveals the One Thought That Keeps Him Awake at Night

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney reportedly described his first conversation with President <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44549872/trump-says-he-had-an-extremely-productive-call-with-canadian-pm-mark-carney-amid-heightened-us-canada-tensions" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Donald Trump</a><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44549872/trump-says-he-had-an-extremely-productive-call-with-canadian-pm-mark-carney-amid-heightened-us-canada-tensions" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> as &#8220;very constructive.&#8221;</a>
BBC <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c93n3knw4xyo" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a> that the two leaders spoke amid the escalating trade war, particularly over Trump&#8217;s proposed 25% tariff on vehicle imports, set to take effect on April 2, which threatens to devastate Canada&#8217;s auto industry.
Carney, who took office in mid-March, said that Trump &#8220;respected Canada&#8217;s sovereignty&#8221; during the exchange, despite the President&#8217;s previous remarks suggesting Canada should become the 51st state — a statement that has caused significant backlash in Canada.
Trump, for his part, characterized the call as &#8220;extremely productive,&#8221; signaling a potential shift in tone compared to his jabs at Carney&#8217;s predecessor, Justin Trudeau.

&#8220;It was an extremely productive call, we agree on many things, and will be meeting immediately after Canada&#8217;s upcoming Election to work on elements of Politics, Business, and all other factors,&#8221; Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social.
The conversation focused on upcoming negotiations to create a new economic and security relationship following Canada&#8217;s federal election on April 28.
Carney has vowed to retaliate against US tariffs, including a $42 billion retaliation on US goods. The looming car tariffs are expected to affect 500,000 Canadian jobs, per BBC.
The trade tensions, exacerbated by Trump&#8217;s tariffs on steel and aluminum, have become a central issue in Canada&#8217;s election campaign.
Opposition leaders, including Conservative Pierre Poilievre and Bloc Québécois leader Yves-François Blanchet, have expressed concerns that Carney may be willing to make concessions to the US. Carney&#8217;s stance, however, remains firm: further retaliatory measures could be on the horizon if Trump follows through with his proposed levies, BBC adds.

Canadian PM Mark Carney Calls First Trump Talk 'Constructive' Amid Looming Tariff Threat

Financial expert Robert Kiyosaki has moved his focus from Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) and gold to silver, forecasting a significant surge in silver prices.
What Happened: Kiyosaki is of the opinion that silver currently holds the most promising investment potential. He predicts that silver prices will exceed $70 in the near future and could potentially reach $200 within the next two years. 
This forecast has sparked renewed interest among investors, making silver a more attractive investment option during these financially uncertain times.
Kiyosaki suggests that the current market conditions provide a unique opportunity for small investors to acquire secure and cost-effective assets. 
In a post on X, he anticipated a significant rise in metal prices, with silver potentially reaching $200 per ounce.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
According to Kiyosaki, silver offers considerable growth potential due to global inflation concerns and declining trust in traditional currencies. He is advising investors to buy physical silver now before market prices increase.

While Kiyosaki currently favors silver, he recognizes that Bitcoin could be a beneficial tool to combat currency inflation in the future. 
He also continues to support gold as a dependable store of value, especially during economic instability. However, he believes that silver offers more advantages to everyday investors due to its higher price point compared to gold.
Why It Matters: Kiyosaki&#8217;s shift in investment focus and his prediction of a substantial price increase in silver could influence the investment strategies of many. 
His advice to buy physical silver now could lead to a surge in demand, potentially driving up the price of silver even further. Moreover, his continued endorsement of gold and Bitcoin, despite his current preference for silver, suggests that these assets still hold value and should not be overlooked by investors. 
This shift in investment strategy underscores the importance of diversification and adaptability in an ever-changing financial landscape.

Robert Kiyosaki Thinks Saving in Cash Is a Bad Idea. Here's Why.

Billionaire Mark Cuban has raised questions about Elon Musk&#8216;s silence regarding the productivity emails that the White House DOGE office required federal employees to submit last month.
What Happened: Cuban took to Bluesky last week to voice his concerns about the lack of response to the &#8216;5 things&#8217; DOGE emails. He remarked,&nbsp;&#8220;Already forgotten. Typical. Ready Fire&nbsp;Aim.&#8221;
&#8220;Whatever happened to the &#8216;5 things&#8217; DoGe emails? Talked to someone really smart who just left gov, who said all the emails bounced back as inbox full,&#8221; Cuban <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/mcuban.bsky.social/post/3llcw6ufkjc2i">wrote</a>. 
&#8220;Already forgotten. Typical. Ready Fire Aim,&#8221; he added.
Previously, on&nbsp;February 22, the Office of&nbsp;Personnel Management (OPM) had requested federal workers&nbsp;to submit a list of&nbsp;their accomplishments by February 24. Musk had warned&nbsp;that failure to respond by&nbsp;the deadline would be considered a resignation.
Also Read:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/43245984/cuban-on-musk-i-have-no-problem-throwing-elon-under-the-bus-but-ill-save-it-for-when-its-truly-deser" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Cuban on Musk: ‘I Have No Problem Throwing Elon Under the Bus, but I&#8217;ll Save It for When It&#8217;s Truly Deserved&#8217;</a>
However, this led to widespread confusion, with at least eight agencies instructing their workers not to respond to the&nbsp;OPM&#8217;s email. The White House&nbsp;disclosed that&nbsp;less than half of the&nbsp;federal workforce had responded to the email.
Further adding to the chaos, Bloomberg reported on Tuesday that federal employees were unable to submit their weekly list of accomplishments due to OPM&#8217;s email inbox being full.
As of now, Musk has not&nbsp;publicly responded to Cuban&#8217;s post.&nbsp;Neither Cuban nor Musk, nor the DOGE office, responded&nbsp;to requests for comment from&nbsp;Business Insider.
Why It Matters: The silence from Musk and the DOGE office raises questions about the effectiveness of the productivity emails and the potential impact on federal workers. The confusion and lack of response could potentially affect the morale and productivity of the workforce. 
Furthermore, the inability of federal employees to submit their weekly accomplishments due to a full inbox highlights potential issues with the OPM&#8217;s email system. 
This incident underscores the importance of clear communication and efficient systems within government agencies.

Peter Marks, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration&#8217;s top vaccine official, has resigned, citing concerns over Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.&#8216;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44514142/rfk-jr-to-announce-10000-job-cuts-shut-regional-agencies-in-a-major-health-department-overhaul-report" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">promotion of vaccine misinformation</a>.
Marks, a key figure in the development and distribution of COVID-19 vaccines through Operation Warp Speed, served as a critical guardrail against any politicization of the FDA&#8217;s vaccine approval process.
His resignation came after he was reportedly given the choice to resign or be fired by an HHS official, which he ultimately chose to do, <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/mar/29/top-us-vaccine-official-resigns-over-rfk-jrs-misinformation-and-lies-dr-peter-marks" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a> The Guardian.
In a resignation letter, Marks condemned Kennedy&#8217;s stance on vaccines, accusing him of spreading &#8220;misinformation and lies&#8221; and undermining trust in well-established vaccines, the report reads.
He warned that such actions were harmful to public health and posed a serious threat to the nation&#8217;s safety and security.

Marks expressed concerns over the erosion of transparency and truth within the Department of Health and Human Services under Kennedy&#8217;s leadership.
Kennedy, long criticized for his vaccine skepticism, has sparked controversy with his claims about vaccine safety, particularly his promotion of debunked theories linking vaccines to autism.
His movement has led efforts to challenge the emergency approval of COVID-19 vaccines, despite research showing they saved millions of lives and prevented hospitalizations, the report further notes.
Marks&#8217; resignation highlights growing tensions between public health professionals and those seeking to politicize or undermine vaccine safety and effectiveness.

<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/warren-buffett">워런 버핏</a>이 일본 기업들에 또 다른 승인 도장을 찍어주자 시장이 반응하고 있다. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/japan">일본</a>의 5대 대형 무역회사들의 주가가 오마하의 오라클이 버크셔 해서웨이(NYSE:<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/BRK.A" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BRK.A</a>)(NYSE:<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/BRK.B" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BRK.B</a>)가 더 큰 지분 투자를 고려하고 있다고 신호를 보낸 후 월요일 최대 9% 상승했다.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">버핏의 10억 달러 베팅이 커진다</h2>
버핏의 일본에 대한 사랑은 새로운 이야기가 아니다. 2020년, 버크셔는 조용히 이들 대형 무역회사 각각에 5% 지분을 매입하며 60억 달러를 지출했다. 현재 그 지분의 가치는 235억 달러에 달한다.
관련: 워런 버핏의 버크셔, 5개 일본 기업에 대한 베팅을 강화하다: 오마하의 오라클이 &#8216;지속적으로 성장한 감탄&#8217;이라고 말하다
이제 10% 소유 한도가 해제되자, 버핏의 연례 서한은 분명히 밝혔다: &#8220;모든 5개 기업에 대한 버크셔의 소유 비율이 다소 증가할 것이다.&#8221;
번역하자면? 버핏은 다시 투자하고 있다.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">왜 무역회사들인가? 버핏 스타일의 사모펀드</h2>
왜 그가 이 주식들을 좋아할까?
이들 무역회사들은 일본의 사모펀드와 같으며, 편의점, 연어 양식장, 인프라 및 기술 스타트업에 걸쳐 포트폴리오를 보유하고 있다.
제프리스 애널리스트인 탄 하 팜(Thanh Ha Pham)은 이들 회사를 &#8220;일본의 사모펀드&#8221;라고 부르지만, 버핏이 승인한 장기적 관점을 가지고 있다고 평가하고 있다.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">ETF와 주식, 버핏 효과를 타다</h2>
ETF 투자자들에게 버핏의 일본 베팅은 세 가지 주요 펀드에 대한 주목을 불러일으킨다.
화요일 iShares MSCI Japan ETF(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EWJ#NYSE">EWJ</a>)는 연초 대비 3.67% 상승했으며, JP모건의 BetaBuilders Japan ETF(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BBJP#NYSE">BBJP</a>)는 3.48% 상승했다. 하지만 진정한 스타는?
WisdomTree Japan Hedged Equity Fund(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DXJ#NYSE">DXJ</a>)로, 지난 1년간 4.90%의 상승률을 기록했다.
버핏 효과는 실제로 존재하며, 무역회사들만이 이 파도를 타고 있는 것이 아니다.
소니(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SONY#NYSE">SONY</a>)는 지난 1년간 44% 상승했으며, 스미토모 미츠이 금융 그룹(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMFG#NYSE">SMFG</a>)는 40% 상승했다. 심지어 미츠비시 UFJ 금융 그(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MUFG#NYSE">MUFG</a>)도 연간 24.6%의 뛰어난 상승률을 기록했다.
일본의 기업 개혁, 배당금 상승 그리고 버핏의 지원으로 인해, 이는 장기적인 상승세의 시작일 수 있다.
투자자들에게 지금 일본을 무시하는 것은 2003년에 애플(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>)을 지나치는 것과 같을 수 있다 &#8211; 버핏도 결코 반복하지 않겠다고 다짐한 실수이다.

토요타 자동차(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TOYOF#OTC">TOYOF</a>), 마쓰다 자동차(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MZDAY#OTC">MZDAY</a>), 혼다(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HNDAF#OTC">HNDAF</a>), 스즈키 자동차(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SZKMY#OTC">SZKMY</a>) 등 일본 주요 자동차 제조사의 주가가 안전 스캔들로 인해 큰 타격을 입었다.
사건의 전말 (What Happened): 일요일 CNBC에 <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/06/10/shares-of-toyota-mazda-honda-suzuki-fall-after-safety-scandal.html">따르면</a> 일본 국토교통성은 특정 차량 모델들을 인증하는 데 허위 데이터가 사용된 사실을 파악했으며, 이로 인해 해당 자동차 제조업체들의 주가가 크게 하락했다.
일본 최대 자동차 제조업체인 토요타는 지난주 주가가 5.4% 이상 급락해 2조 4,500억 엔(156억 2,000만 달러)의 시장 가치 손실을 입었다. 일본에서 두 번째로 큰 자동차 제조업체인 마쓰다는 주가가 7.7% 하락하여 시가총액 803억 3천만 엔(5억 1,180만 달러)의 손실을 입었다.
혼다, 스즈키 및 야마하 등 다른 자동차 제조사들도 허위 테스트 데이터를 제출하거나 충돌 테스트에 사용된 차량을 변조한 것으로 드러났다. 이로 인해 주가도 하락했다.
지난주 토요타는 국토교통성의 조사에 따라 일본에서 생산된 코롤라 필더, 코롤라 악시오, 야리스 크로스 등 3개 모델의 출하 및 판매를 일시적으로 중단한다고 발표했다.
토요타의 도요다 아키오 회장은 이러한 불일치에 대해 사과하며 7개 모델이 국가 당국이 정의한 표준과 다른 방법을 사용하여 테스트되었음을 ​​인정했다.
마찬가지로 마쓰다는 5월 30일부터 로드스터(Roadster) RF와 마쓰다 2를 중단했다. 두 회사 모두 고객에게 여전히 자동차를 운전할 수 있다고 확신했다.
왜 중요한가 (Why It Matters): 최근의 이 스캔들은 일본 자동차 제조업체들에 대한 광범위한 조사에 뒤이어 발생했다. 지난주 국토교통성은 토요타의 인증신청서에서 부정행위가 발견되자 본사를 대상으로 현장조사를 실시했다. 이는 토요타 다이하츠(Toyota Daihatsu) 사업부와 관련된 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/06/39154549/gear-shift-in-japan-toyota-other-auto-giants-reportedly-under-inspection-over-certification-scan">안전 테스트</a> 스캔들로 인해 업계 전반에 걸쳐 의무적으로 실시되는 종합 검사의 일부였다.
또한, 금요일에는 미쓰비시 UFJ 파이낸셜 그룹(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MUFG#NYSE">MUFG</a>)과 미쓰이 스미토모 파이낸셜 그룹(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMFG#NYSE">SMFG</a>)이 토요타의 전략적 지분 약 1조 3,200억 엔(85억 달러)을 매각할 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/06/39228602/japanese-mega-banks-plan-8-5b-toyota-stake-sale-report">계획</a>이라는 보도가 나왔다. 이러한 움직임은 교차보유 주식을 해체하고 토요타 주가에 미치는 부정적 영향을 완화하기 위한 보다 광범위한 전략의 일부다. 은행들은 요타의 최근 1조엔 규모 환매 계획을 활용할 예정이다.
토요타 주식은 지난 12개월 동안 36% 이상 상승했다. 투자자들은 Avantis International Large Cap Value ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVIV#NYSE">AVIV</a>) 및 ActivePassive International Equity ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/APIE#NYSE">APIE</a>)를 통해 주식에 노출될 수 있다.
이야기는 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/author/benzinga-neuro">Benzinga Neuro</a>를 통해 작성되었으며, Kaustubh Bagalkote에 의해 편집되었습니다.

미쓰비시 UFJ 파이낸셜 그룹(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MUFG#NYSE">MUFG</a>)과 미쓰이 스미토모 파이낸셜 그룹(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMFG#NYSE">SMFG</a>)은 토요타 자동차(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TM#NYSE">TM</a>)의 전략적 지분 약 1조 3,200억 엔(85억 달러)을 매각할 예정인 것으로 알려졌다.
이러한 대규모 움직임은 일본의 주요 기업들이 광범위한 상호보유 주식 네트워크를 해체하겠다는 강력한 의지를 나타낸다. 이러한 전략적 청산은 ​​토요타의 주가에 대한 부정적인 영향을 완화하기 위해 고안되었다고 블룸버그가 보도했다.
이 은행들은 토요타의 최근 자사주 매입 계획을 활용하여 단계적으로 매각할 예정이다. 5월 8일, 토요타는 자사 주식의 약 3%에 해당하는 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38736508/toyotas-blockbuster-report-amid-the-ev-slowdown-reflect-its-determination-to-catch-up-on-software" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">1조 엔의 자사주 매입 계획</a>을 발표하여 이전 자사주 매입에 비해 상당한 증가를 보였다.
일본 정부는 사업 제휴를 공고히 하기 위해 만들어진 상호출자 축소를 오랫동안 주장해 왔다.
그러나 이들 은행과 같은 기관의 행동은 느렸습니다. 도요타의 주요 이해관계자들의 이러한 상당한 매각은 일본 기업 부문의 지분 관계를 완화하려는 보다 광범위한 움직임을 촉진할 수 있습니다.
그러나 이러한 은행과 같은 기관들은 이에 대한 행동을 매우 느리게 해왔다. 토요타의 주요 주주들에 의한 이번 대규모의 처분은 일본 기업부문에서 자본 공백의 풀림으로 이어질 수 있는 더 큰 움직임을 하는 계기가 될 수 있다.
이 보도에 따르면 미쓰비시의 지분 가치는 약 7,000억 엔으로 평가되고, 미쓰이 스미토모는 도요타 주식 약 6,200억 엔을 보유하고 있다.
기사 읽기: <a href="http://Toyota, Subaru, Mazda Aim For Carbon-Neutral Future In Engine Development: Details" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">토요타, 바루, 마쓰다의 탄소 중립 앞당긴 기술을 살펴보자</a>
이러한 주식 매각은 수년에 걸쳐 진행될 예정이며, 토요타에 대한 지분을 줄이거나 잠재적으로 완전히 처분하는 방향으로 계획되어 있다. 한편, 미즈호 파이낸셜 그룹(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MFG#NYSE">MFG</a>)은 토요타의 주목할만한 지분을 보유하고 있지 않다. 이번 결정은 토요타 주가의 눈에 띄는 상승에 따른 것이다.
이 보도는 또한 미쓰이 스미토모 해상화재보험(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSADY#OTC">MSADY</a>), 도쿄 해상 홀딩스(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TKOMY#OTC">TKOMY</a>), 솜포 홀딩스(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMPNY#OTC">SMPNY</a>)를 포함한 일부 보험사들이 토요타의 지분을 보유하고 있다고 언급했다. 이들이 은행들에 합류하면 총액은 3조엔을 넘어설 것이다.
토요타 자체도 네트워크 내에서 상호 지분을 줄이고 있다. 지난 11월 이 회사는 전기 부품 제조업체 덴소(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DNZOY#OTC">DNZOY</a>)의 지분을 24%에서 20%로 낮추겠다고 발표했다.
이전에 토요타는 KDDI(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KDDIY#OTC">KDDIY</a>)의 지분 일부를 2,500억 엔에 매각하기로 약속했다. 이러한 움직임은 토요타의 전기 자동차 이니셔티브 및 환매 프로그램에 자금을 재분배하는 것을 목표로 한다.
주가 움직임: 금요일 토요타의 뉴욕 상장 주식은 1.75% 하락한 206.36달러에 마감다.
