Plug Power, Pony AI, Wolfspeed, Nvidia, And Tesla: Why These 5 Stocks Are On Investors' Radars Today

Memecoins were up in the green Monday overnight, with Floki and Bonk leading the charge following Bitcoin's (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) reclaim of $95,000.
What happened: Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>)-based FLOKI hit a two-month high of $0.00009044 late in the evening, representing a 15% spike in the last 24 hours.
The rally propelled the dog-themed meme coin to become the third-largest cryptocurrency gainer in the 24-hour period. Trading volume jumped 128% to over $211 million.
The momentum comes ahead of the TOKEN2049 cryptocurrency conference in Dubai, where Floki&#8217;s Community Relations Officer is scheduled to give a talk on the importance of utility for meme coins.

Dogecoin, Shiba Inu Spike But Floki And Bonk Are Stars Of Monday's Meme Rally

On Tuesday, Alibaba Group Holdings Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) introduced Qwen 3, its most advanced artificial intelligence model yet.
What Happened: The new system features hybrid reasoning capabilities, blending traditional AI tasks with enhanced problem-solving skills, reported Reuters.
The launch <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/25/04/45015548/baidu-goes-aggressive-chinas-in-ai-price-war-with-alibaba-deepseek">comes on the heels</a> of Baidu Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BIDU#NASDAQ">BIDU</a>) release of Ernie 4.5 Turbo and Ernie X1 Turbo.
In January 2025, the e-commerce giant quickly rolled out its Qwen 2.5-Max model, just days after DeepSeek's announcement, touting it as a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/01/43351350/alibaba-stock-rises-as-deepseek-selloff-continues-qwen-ai-model-gains-attention">higher-performing alternative</a>.
Notably, at the time of writing, Alibaba&#8217;s Hong Kong-listed shares spiked 1.13% to HKD 116.50 ($15.02). 
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's Important: The latest launch comes amid intensifying competition in China&#8217;s AI sector, fueled by the breakout success of local startup DeepSeek earlier this year.
Following the debut of DeepSeek's R1 model, Nvidia Corporation's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) stock <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43876025/nvidia-ceo-attributed-the-deepseek-led-sell-off-to-investor-misconception-on-ai-spending-obviously-that-paradigm-is-wrong">experienced a sharp sell-off</a>, wiping out around $600 billion in market value. The stock has since recovered a significant portion of those losses.
Price Action: Alibaba shares rose 0.54% in after-hours trading to $119.01. Earlier, during Monday's regular session, the stock fell 1.59% to close at $118.37, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>.
According to Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings, Alibaba has a growth score of 73.17% and a momentum rating of 93.35. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Click here to see how it compares to other leading</a> tech companies.

What Happened: The cryptocurrency touched an intraday high of $95,598.49 early morning before dipping below $93,000. BTC reclaimed $95,000 overnight.
Bitcoin was on course to close April with double-digit gains, recovering some of the decline from February and March.
Ethereum followed a similar path, rising to the early $1,800s, then falling to $1,750 before recovering above $1,800. Unlike its elder sibling, ETH was down 1.4% in April.
Bitcoin&#8217;s market dominance stayed at 63%, while Ethereum&#8217;s was stable at 7.3%.
Analysts at global bank Standard Chartered predicted Bitcoin to surge to $120,000 in the second quarter, citing strategic reallocation away from U.S. assets, combined with growing institutional demand.
About $230 million was liquidated from the cryptocurrency market in the last 24 hours, with long position traders losing more than bearish short traders.
Bitcoin&#8217;s Open Interest rose by 2.78% in the last 24 hours, indicating higher market liquidity and the number of outstanding futures contracts.
The market sentiment was one of "Greed," according to the Crypto Fear and Greed Index, signaling higher buying pressure.

Analyst Notes: Popular cryptocurrency trader and chartist Daan Crypto Trades drew attention to the Bitcoin Rainbow Chart, with the price moving back into the green sector.&nbsp;
"It&#8217;s probably safe to assume this won&#8217;t get into the darker regions this cycle but somewhere below that would still make for an interesting move," the analyst added.
As the name suggests, this indicator uses the colors of a rainbow to estimate Bitcoin&#8217;s long-term price trend and whether the asset is undervalued or overvalued based on historical trends.

Amazon.com (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) is a multinational technology company, engaged in e-commerce, cloud computing, online advertising, digital streaming, and artificial intelligence.

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">If You Bought Amazon Stock 10 Years Ago</h2>
The company's stock traded at approximately $21.93 per share 10 years ago. If you had invested $10,000, you could have bought roughly 456 shares. Currently, shares trade at $187.55, meaning your investment's value could have grown to $85,522 from stock price appreciation.&nbsp;
That's a total return of 755.22%, far outpacing the S&amp;P 500's return of 212.20% over the same period.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What Could The Next 10 Years Bring?&nbsp;</h2>

If You Invested $10K In Amazon Stock 10 Years Ago, How Much Would You Have Now?

On Monday, Cathie Wood&#8216;s Ark Invest executed several significant trades, including the sale of shares in Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>), Robinhood Markets Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HOOD#NASDAQ">HOOD</a>) and Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), while also acquiring shares in Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) and Baidu Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BIDU#NASDAQ">BIDU</a>). These trades reflect Ark&#8217;s strategic adjustments amidst evolving market conditions.
The Palantir Trade
Ark Invest made a notable move by selling shares of Palantir across ARK Next Generation Internet ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKW#BATS">ARKW</a>) and ARK Space Exploration &amp; Innovation ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKX#BATS">ARKX</a>). The sale involved 53,532 shares from ARKW and 26,114 shares from ARKX. With Palantir&#8217;s stock closing at $114.65, the total value of the shares sold amounted to approximately $9.1 million. Recently, Palantir has been in the spotlight due to its potential to dominate the enterprise AI sector, as highlighted by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45031959/cathie-wood-backs-palantir-to-dominate-enterprise-ai-with-microsofts-excel-on-the-back-foot">Cathie Wood&#8217;s confidence</a> in the company&#8217;s capabilities. However, the stock has been <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/45045022/palantir-stock-is-pulling-back-after-rallying-20-over-the-past-week-whats-going-on">pulling back</a> after rallying 20% over the past week.
The Meta Platforms Trade
Ark Invest also reduced its holdings of Meta Platforms by selling 2,168 shares from its ARK Innovation ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKK#BATS">ARKK</a>). With Meta&#8217;s shares closing at $549.74, this transaction was valued at approximately $1.19 million. The Mark Zuckerberg-led company has been navigating through <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44925597/meta-platforms-shares-slide-amid-regulatory-pressure-and-economic-uncertainty-whats-going-on-lately">regulatory challenges and economic uncertainties</a>, as detailed in recent reports on the company&#8217;s ongoing antitrust trial and market pressures.
The AMD Trade
Ark Invest&#8217;s ARKW ETF acquired 39,306 shares of&nbsp;Advanced Micro Devices Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>), with the stock closing at $96.39. This purchase was valued at approximately $3.79 million. AMD&#8217;s stock performance has been influenced by industry developments, including&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/04/45052912/whats-going-on-with-advanced-micro-devices-stock-monday">competition from Huawei</a>&nbsp;in the AI chip market, which has impacted investor sentiment.
The Robinhood Trade
Ark Invest opted to sell 121,099 shares of&nbsp;Robinhood Markets Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HOOD#NASDAQ">HOOD</a>) from its ARKW ETF. With Robinhood&#8217;s shares closing at $48.93, the sale was valued at approximately $5.92 million. Robinhood is currently under the market&#8217;s watchful eye as&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/content/45028950/markets-think-robinhood-earnings-could-send-the-stock-up">investors anticipate its earnings</a>, which could significantly influence its stock trajectory.

Cathie Wood Chops Palantir: Ark Invest Dumps $9.1 Million Worth Of Stock, Also Sells Meta And Robinhood Shares

President Donald Trump is expected to soon sign into law the &#8220;Take It Down Act,&#8221; a sweeping bipartisan measure that targets the spread of nonconsensual, sexually <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/03/44100458/melania-trump-attacks-democrats-for-skipping-key-discussion-on-deepfakes-first-lady-wants-tougher-safeguards-for-children">explicit deepfake images</a> and videos online.
What Happened: On Monday, the House overwhelmingly passed the &#8220;Take It Down Act&#8221; in a 409-2 vote, sending the bill to Trump's desk after the Senate approved it earlier this year by unanimous consent, <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/house-passes-bipartisan-bill-combat-explicit-deepfakes-trump-rcna203316">reported</a> NBC News.&nbsp;
The legislation, led by senators Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) and Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.), makes it a federal crime to publish sexually explicit images or videos — including those generated by artificial intelligence — without the subject's consent.
It also requires online platforms to remove the content within 48 hours of receiving notice.

First lady Melania Trump, who championed the bill as part of her &#8220;Be Best&#8221; initiative, praised the passage as a major step toward protecting children and families, the report noted.
Trump promoted the bill during a speech to Congress last month, signaling strong support.
Why It's Important: The rise of deepfake technology has made it easier than ever to create convincing fake sexual imagery, often targeting women, minors and public figures.
Last year, Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/02/36930046/meta-advised-to-overhaul-incoherent-deepfake-rules-by-oversight-board-after-biden-video">faced pressure to update</a> its deepfake policies after a controversial video featuring former President Joe Biden was found not to violate the company's existing guidelines.

Earlier this year, dozens of explicit, AI-generated images of celebrities including Ariana Grande, Scarlett Johansson, and Maria Sharapova spread widely across Facebook, racking up hundreds of thousands of likes and shares before Meta ultimately removed them.
Previously, Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) CEO Satya Nadella also raised alarms about the spread of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/01/36845419/satya-nadella-says-ai-generated-taylor-swift-deepfakes-are-alarming-and-terrible">AI-generated explicit images</a> of pop star Taylor Swift, calling the situation "alarming and terrible."

Donald Trump Set To Sign Landmark 'Take It Down Act' As Congress Targets Deepfake Images And Videos

Former White House communications director and current investor, Anthony Scaramucci's forgotten investment in Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) stock for his newborn son turned into a powerful lesson on the rewards of long-term investing.
What Happened: Last year, during a recent appearance on The Julia La Roche Show, Scaramucci shared how, at 28 years old, he purchased $1,200 worth of Microsoft stock for his son, AJ, shortly after his birth in September 1992.
At the time, he opted to check the box to reinvest dividends, even though Microsoft wasn't paying any.
&#8220;I had an account, it was for my son AJ,&#8221; Scaramucci recalled. &#8220;He was born on the 23rd of September in 1992. On Oct. 1, I bought him $1,200 of Microsoft.&#8221;

Back then, with no internet access and only paper statements being mailed, Scaramucci moved a few times, and his brokerage, Goldman Sachs, lost track of his address. The account sat untouched for nearly three decades.
&#8220;We found the account, it was 26–27 years later,&#8221; Scaramucci said. &#8220;I think I said it went up $88,000, but my son said, ‘No, Dad, it went up $288,000.'&#8221;
Previously, during a podcast, Scaramucci incorrectly shared that his investment went up around $72,000.
The longtime investor admitted he would have likely sold the stock during Microsoft&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/long-ideas/23/11/35912780/steve-ballmer-vs-satya-nadella-one-microsoft-ceo-would-have-turned-your-1000-investment-">stagnant period under former CEO</a> Steve Ballmer had he known he still owned it.&nbsp;
&#8220;There was a period of time when Steve Ballmer was running that company&#8230; they were flatlining at Microsoft for about eight or nine years,&#8221; Scaramucci said. &#8220;I would have sold that stock, didn&#8217;t know I owned it, and it ended up being a big win.&#8221;

Why It&#8217;s Important: Microsoft <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/23/10/35482112/if-you-invested-1-000-in-microsoft-at-its-ipo-heres-how-much-youd-have-now">went public on March 13</a>, 1986, with an initial offering price of $21. Shares closed their first day of trading at $27.75, with more than 2.5 million shares exchanged.
Over the years, Microsoft underwent several stock splits, including 2-for-1 splits in 1987 and 1990, followed by 3-for-2 splits in 1991 and 1992. Additional 2-for-1 splits occurred in 1994, 1996, 1998, 1999, and 2003.
Accounting for splits, Scaramucci's $1,200 investment would have bought approximately 784.313 shares. Based on Microsoft&#8217;s current share price, those shares are now worth around $306,792.15.
Price Action: Microsoft shares have declined 6.55% year-to-date and 2.76% over the past 12 months. However, the tech giant's stock has surged 124.07% over the past five years. On Monday, the share price closed at $391.16, down 0.18%, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/register?utm_adType=bzprocontent&amp;utm_campaign=14daytrial&amp;utm_ad=0417">Benzinga Pro</a>.
Based on Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings, Microsoft holds a growth score of 64.68% and a momentum rating of 41.89. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Click here to see how it stacks up against</a> other top tech companies.
Currently, Microsoft has a consensus price target of $494.57 from 33 analysts, with Truist Securities setting the highest target at $600 as of Oct. 28. The three latest ratings from Goldman Sachs, Piper Sandler, and Barclays suggest an average target of $438.33, indicating a potential upside of 12.11%.

Anthony Scaramucci Once Purchased $1,200 Worth Of Microsoft Stock For His Son In 1992 And Then Forgot About It — Three Decades Later, It Quietly Turned Into A Small Fortune That He Didn't Know He Owned

<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/12/42726864/dave-ramsey-thinks-social-security-is-a-mathematical-disaster-but-still-says-it-makes-more-sense-to-take-it-at-62-almost-every-time">Dave Ramsey</a> is once again calling out high-income earners who can't seem to keep their financial house in order — and this time, he's grouping doctors and lawyers with actors and musicians.
"Medical doctors are about as notorious as people in the music business or the acting world for being stupid with money," Ramsey said in a video <a href="https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1AgqGfKwZw/?mibextid=wwXIfr">posted to Facebook</a> recently. "Only they add a level of arrogance to it because they're so freakin smart."
The post's caption spelled it out even further: "Doctors are some of the smartest people out there — and some of the worst with money. I've seen it over and over again."

<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>
Lawyers and entertainers didn't escape the critique either. "A lot of them let arrogance override common sense," he added. "Just because you make a lot doesn't mean you're winning."
Ramsey's frustration isn't new. In his ongoing crusade to get people to ditch debt and build wealth, he's often pointed to his own data to back it up.&nbsp;
His <a href="https://cdn.ramseysolutions.net/media/company/pr/everyday-millionaires-research/national-study-of-millionaire-new.pdf?_gl=1&#x2A;1jpxndr&#x2A;_gcl_au&#x2A;MzM3NTc4MTE2LjE3NDU1NjU1OTk.&#x2A;FPAU&#x2A;MTI4MzI0NTA0OS4xNzM5MzQ3NjAw&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;NDg4NjQxODQ4LjE3NDU1NjU1OTc.&#x2A;_ga_02SXDH1H96&#x2A;MTc0NTU2NTU5Ny4xLjAuMTc0NTU2NTU5OS4wLjAuMTQ2NjQ4NTI1">National Study of Millionaires</a>, which surveyed 10,000 net-worth millionaires, found that most of them didn't work in flashy or high-paying fields. In fact, "medical doctor didn't even make the top five," Ramsey told comedian <a href="https://youtu.be/Ur1Bjj-W1us?si=vK1qLUU4-WIjLYis">Theo Von in an interview</a> last year.

<li>Engineers </li>
<li>Accountants </li>
<li>Teachers </li>
<li>Managers </li>
<li>Attorneys </li>
</ol>
That's right — despite Ramsey's jab at lawyers, they did crack the top five. Doctors didn't.
"The hardest people to convince to use common sense are the smart people," Ramsey said in the video. "Lawyers and doctors — the level of arrogance that comes with that — often it's the hardest group of people I have to talk into it."
"Don't be too smart for your own good," he added. "Humble yourself, learn the basics, and start making your money work for you, not against you."

Ramsey's not saying doctors and lawyers aren't smart — he's saying they think they're too smart for the basics. And that's the problem. When you're used to being top of your class, it's easy to assume you don't need a budget, a plan, or anyone telling you what to do with your paycheck.
But that's where <a href="https://www.ramseysolutions.com/dave-ramsey-7-baby-steps">Ramsey's 7 Baby Steps</a> come in. They're dead simple by design — not because people are dumb, but because smart people overcomplicate everything. Step one? Stack a $1,000 emergency fund. Step two? Pay off all non-mortgage debt, fast. Then save three to six months of expenses, invest 15% of your income, and yeah — knock out the mortgage early. Why? Because wealthy people don't have car payments and a 30-year loan hanging over their heads.&nbsp;
You <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/02/43539942/are-you-rich-heres-what-americans-think-you-need-to-be-considered-wealthy-2">don't have to be a genius to build wealth</a>. But if you are one, maybe try not to outsmart yourself.

Dave Ramsey Says Doctors And Lawyers Are Like Actors, Notoriously Bad With Money — 'Just Because You Make A Lot Doesn't Mean You're Winning'

"My 2 worst preforming videos this year are the ones where I help people. Just thought I'd share this because some people think I just do it for views but I would get way more views if I didn't help thousands of people walk and give away a million meals."

To put it in perspective, his video "Beat Ronaldo, Win $1,000,000" hit 49 million views in the same time span. Even "I Spent 100 Hours Inside The Pyramids" pulled in 47.5 million. MrBeast doesn't just pull views — he defines viral.

But when it comes to doing good? The view count dips. And Donaldson knows it.
"People would also hate me less lol," he added in the same April 13 post. "Doesn't matter though, I'm gonna keep doing it because I'm the most subscribed YouTube channel in the world and I believe using my platform to inspire people to do good is important (and I also like making these videos)."
That commitment shows through Beast Philanthropy, his 501(c)(3) nonprofit aimed at making kindness viral. The organization, backed by MrBeast's 400 million+ combined followers, uses social media to raise funds and help charitable causes around the world.
So yes, a video about giving someone a yacht or a private jet may crush the algorithm. But a video that feeds people or gives them the ability to walk? That's the one that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44794639/ironically-because-of-all-the-new-tariffs-its-now-way-cheaper-to-make-our-chocolate-bars-outside-the-us-says-mrbeast">keeps MrBeast grounded</a> — and maybe, long-term, it's the one that matters more.

MrBeast Says His 2 Worst-Performing Videos This Year Were the Ones Where He Helped People — 'I'd Get Way More Views If I Didn't Do Charity'

Ask someone if being a billionaire makes you happier, and you'll usually get one of two answers: "Obviously!" or "Well, happiness comes from within." It's either mind-blown excitement or a quick pivot into philosophy.
But when someone asked Bill Gates, "Do you think being a billionaire has made you a happier person than if you were just a middle class person?" in a <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/aunv58/im_bill_gates_cochair_of_the_bill_melinda_gates/">Reddit AMA back in 2019</a>, he didn't dodge, humble-brag, or wax poetic.
"Yes," he said. "I don't have to think about health costs or college costs. Being free from worry about financial things is a real blessing."

<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>
But before anyone grabbed their pitchforks, Gates clarified: "Of course you don't need a billion to get to that point." The key, he explained, isn't the commas in your net worth — it's the freedom from worry.
Which, for the record, is something most Americans would kill for.
As of late 2023, 62% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck, according to <a href="https://ir.lendingclub.com/news/news-details/2023/Nearly-60-of-Credit-Cardholders-in-the-U.S.-Live-Paycheck-to-Paycheck/default.aspx">LendingClub</a> — including nearly half of those making over $100,000 a year. And it's not just about day-to-day expenses. A survey from the <a href="https://www.apa.org/news/press/releases/stress/2023/collective-trauma-recovery">American Psychological Association</a> found 72% of U.S. adults feel stressed about money on a regular basis.
That stress hits hard when basic needs aren't guaranteed. A <a href="https://www.bankrate.com/pdfs/pr/20220502-financial-wellness-survey.pdf?utm_source=chatgpt.com">Bankrate survey</a> found that 57% of Americans cite lack of emergency savings as one of their biggest stressors.&nbsp;
When it comes to healthcare, 27% of adults skipped medical treatment due to cost, according to the Federal Reserve's 2023 <a href="https://www.federalreserve.gov/publications/2024-economic-well-being-of-us-households-in-2023-expenses.htm#:~:text=Health-Care%20Expenses&amp;text=Twenty-seven%20percent%20of%20adults,in%202021%20(figure%2020).">Report on the Economic Well-Being of U.S. Households</a>.
Trending: The secret weapon in billionaire investor portfolios that you almost certainly don't own yet. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">See which asset class has outpaced the S&amp;P 500 (1995-2024) – and with near-zero correlation.</a>
Gates gets it. He pointed out during the same AMA:
"We do need to reduce the cost growth in these areas so they are accessible to everyone."
Translation: being middle class shouldn't mean losing sleep over your kid's tuition or skipping the dentist for six years.
The billionaire also gave a glimpse into what else makes him happy: family, fitness, and following through. "Staying in shape," he said, "helps me stay calm and be happier." So does seeing his kids thrive.
Sure, Gates has the luxury of contemplating happiness from the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/25/04/44648551/behold-bill-gates-138-million-mega-mansion-and-his-two-other-lavish-homes">comfort of a sprawling estate</a> and a multi-billion-dollar portfolio. But he also spends his time giving it away. He's pledged to donate most of his fortune through the Giving Pledge, a campaign he co-founded with Warren Buffett to encourage billionaires to commit at least half their wealth to good causes.
So is it <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">better to be rich</a>? According to Gates — yes. But is it necessary? Not at all. What you need is to not live in constant fear of a broken bone or surprise tuition bill draining your entire future.&nbsp;

Bill Gates Says He's Happier As A Billionaire Than If He Were Middle Class — 'You Don't Need A Billion…But Freedom From Worry Is A Blessing'

Rep. Shri Thanedar (D-Mich.) initiated impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump on Monday. Thanedar announced the filing of seven articles of impeachment, citing various actions by the incumbent that he claims undermine democracy.
What Happened: The impeachment articles include <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44779739/oops-hes-alive-and-secure-trump-administration-updates-status-on-mistaken-deportation-to-el-salvador">accusations related to the deportation</a> of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, alleged unauthorized budget cuts by the Department of Government Efficiency, and defiance of a Supreme Court ruling, <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/house/5271810-michigan-democrat-trump-impeachment/">reported</a> The Hill. Thanedar emphasized that Trump&#8217;s actions, including his tariff policies and treatment of the press, constitute impeachable misconduct.
The Hill noted that the impeachment articles face slim chances in the Republican-controlled House, where GOP support is necessary for a vote. In the Senate, a two-thirds majority is required for conviction, a challenging feat given the Republican majority.
&#8220;<a href="https://thehill.com/people/donald-trump/">Donald Trump </a>has already done real damage to our democracy, but defying a unanimous 9-0 Supreme Court ruling, that has to be the one final straw,&#8221; said Thanedar, according to the report.
&#8220;Enough is enough. Donald J. Trump must be impeached,&#8221; said the Michigan representative.

Why It Matters: The impeachment articles come amid a backdrop of controversy surrounding Trump. Recently, his online store <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/45001571/trump-2028-merchandise-hits-online-store-despite-constitutional-ban-on-third-term-presidency">began selling</a> &#8220;Trump 2028&#8221; merchandise, despite the constitutional prohibition on a third presidential term. This move has raised eyebrows and added to the tension between the president and his critics.
Additionally, a recent event involving Trump&#8217;s memecoin has sparked further calls for impeachment. Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-Ga.) accused Trump of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/45001571/trump-2028-merchandise-hits-online-store-despite-constitutional-ban-on-third-term-presidency">selling access</a> to himself in exchange for payments made through his meme coin. This incident has fueled Democratic efforts to hold Trump accountable for his actions.
Trump said he ran the &#8220;country and the world,&#8221; in a recent interview with The Atlantic. However, a poll <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/45047432/trump-says-i-run-the-country-and-the-world-yet-polls-plummet">indicated</a> he enjoyed a 41% approval rating, which is the lowest for any president at this stage in their presidency since Eisenhower.

$100 Invested In This Stock 20 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) has used the recent tariff-driven market swings to renew her push for a ban on congressional stock trading, highlighting the risk of insider trading when lawmakers or administration officials have access to sensitive,<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44728276/spy-qqq-call-volumes-spiked-minutes-before-tariff-pause-announcement-alexandria-ocasio-cortez-demands-disclosure-from-congress-members"> market-moving information.&nbsp;</a>
What To Know: Ocasio-Cortez and other Democrats are calling for transparency and legislative reform to address what they view as systemic ethical risks related to Congress members trading stocks based on non-public information.&nbsp;
The latest push comes after news of President Donald Trump&#8216;s reciprocal tariff plans caused extreme volatility in the stock market and unusual options trading activity was witnessed.

Several market trackers showed that call volumes for several stocks including the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) and the Invesco QQQ Trust (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>) spiked just minutes before Trump announced the 90-day pause on most of the steepest tariffs. 
What Else: Ocasio-Cortez posted <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0io7c8U6uis">a video</a> to her YouTube account on Saturday of a speech she gave in Idaho on April 14. The New York representative again called for a ban on members of Congress owning individual company stocks in the video. 
"How have members of Congress convinced themselves that they can take an objective vote on health care, energy or war — when their own money is tied up in pharmaceutical, oil and gas, or defense stocks? And just how much did Marjorie Taylor Greene make when she bought the dip?" Ocasio-Cortez wrote in the caption.&nbsp;
The "dip" Ocasio-Cortez is referring to is Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/politics/25/04/44852406/marjorie-taylor-greene-brushes-off-stock-buying-criticism-says-portfolio-manager-bought-the-dip">purchasing shares</a> of several stocks just before the 90-day tariff pause was announced. 
Greene bought shares of technology stocks like Apple, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), NVIDIA Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and Qualcomm, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QCOM#NASDAQ">QCOM</a>) that were hurt by potential tariffs. Greene also disclosed buying Nike, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NKE#NYSE">NKE</a>) and Lululemon Athletica (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LULU#NASDAQ">LULU</a>) shares. 
Greene&#8217;s initial investment of $21,000 grew to $315,000 after Trump announced a 90-day pause on most tariffs. The trades drew attention from many accounts that follow Congress trading activity, as well as Ocasio-Cortez and other politicians.&nbsp;
In the YouTube video Ocasio-Cortez posted this weekend, she called for a ban on stock trading by members of Congress.&nbsp;
"To be clear,&nbsp; I don&#8217;t care what party you are: Democrat or Republican. It doesn&#8217;t matter how powerful one is or the position that one holds, members of Congress holding and trading individual stock is wrong. It is corrosive. It is destructive. And it needs to be banned," she said.&nbsp;
