Williams-Sonoma, HealthEquity And 3 Stocks To Watch Heading Into Wednesday

Former Treasury Secretary Lawrence H. Summers has said that the central bank is facing &#8220;the most difficult challenge&#8221; amid higher prices and fewer jobs. This comes as the Federal Reserve is slated to announce its decision on interest rates by Wednesday afternoon.
What Happened: Larry Summers expects the apex bank&#8217;s monetary policy-setting body, the Federal Reserve Open Market Committee (FOMC), to hold the rates constant on Wednesday in line with market expectations.
CME Group&#8217;s FedWatch <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">tool </a>indicates a near-certainty of unchanged interest rates in March at 99%, with expectations shifting to significant rate cuts beginning in July with a 60%+ probability and increasing to nearly 90% in September. 
Holding tariffs responsible for this challenging situation, he said, &#8220;This is what tariffs do.&#8221;
&#8220;If you are the Federal Reserve, you can't figure out if you go to the breaks because of price increases or the accelerator because of lost jobs. So I suspect the Fed won't move interest rates. They will say they need more data and they are watching,&#8221; said Summers in an X thread.
He describes this scenario as a &#8220;stagflationary shock,&#8221; which has put the Fed in a &#8220;hard position&#8221;.

Analysts Expect Jerome Powell To Pivot To A Measured Stance Amid Economic Uncertainty </a>
Why It Matters: With inflation near 2% and growing economic uncertainty, analysts believe Jerome Powell might pivot to a more measured approach.
"The hawkish tone of Fed Chair Jerome Powell may likely change into a more measured one as he has to cite the economic uncertainty — especially tariff uncertainty,&#8221; said Eugenia Mykuliak, the founder and executive director at B2PRIME Group
The &#8220;Trump put&#8221; referring to adjusting President Donald Trump-led administration&#8217;s policies to support markets was off the table, the &#8220;Fed put&#8221; remained on standby. "The Trump Put may be kaput, but the Fed Put remains on standby," said Edward Yardeni, the President of Yardeni Research.
Earlier this month, while speaking at the University of Chicago <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44213521/us-economic-slowdown-talk-of-the-town-says-economist-mohamed-el-erian-as-fed-chair-powell-reaffirms-growth-at-sol">Powell signaled</a> the Fed will maintain current rates amid a strong labor market and near-target inflation, emphasizing no rush to adjust rates.
Price Action: The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) and Invesco QQQ Trust ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), which track the S&amp;P 500 index and Nasdaq 100 index, respectively, fell on Tuesday.

On Wednesday, the future of Dow Jones rose by 0.13%, whereas the S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq 100 advanced by 0.19% and 0.26% respectively.

Larry Summers Says Federal Reserve In Hard Position With 'Stagflationary Shock' Ahead Of FOMC Decision: 'This Is What Tariffs Do'

Andrej Karpathy, the former Tesla <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40540066/former-tesla-autopilot-head-and-ex-openai-researcher-says-programming-is-changing-so-fast-that-he-ca">autopilot head</a> and an ex-OpenAI researcher has outlined practical steps to improve digital privacy and security, offering a clear roadmap for anyone looking to better protect their online identity.
What Happened: In a new blog post titled "Digital Hygiene" that was published on Monday, Karpathy shared a detailed guide to improving privacy and cybersecurity in everyday computing.
Here are the highlights:&nbsp;
Passwords, Security Keys, And Biometrics
Karpathy said that the use of a password manager like 1Password generates and stores strong, unique passwords for every service. He urges users to pair this with a hardware security key—his preferred brand is YubiKey—to secure critical accounts with a physical second factor.

Privacy-Focused Tools
He also recommends Signal for secure messaging, Brave for browsing and searching, and NextDNS or Pi-hole to block trackers at the DNS level. Karpathy is critical of &#8220;smart&#8221; IoT devices, calling them a significant privacy risk, and encourages users to avoid them whenever possible.
Financial And Email Safety
To minimize exposure to fraud and data leaks, Karpathy suggests using services like Privacy.com to generate unique virtual credit cards per merchant, and virtual mailboxes instead of real addresses. He also advises caution with email—never clicking links and disabling image loading to avoid being tracked.
&#8220;[Signal] it does not store metadata like many other apps do (e.g. iMessage, WhatsApp). Turn on disappearing messages (e.g. 90 days default is good),&#8221; he stated.

</figure>
Why It's Important: Karpathy's guide arrives at a time when digital threats—from phishing to data breaches—are escalating in both frequency and sophistication.&nbsp;
According to data from Statista, social media platforms were the primary target of phishing attacks worldwide in the third quarter of 2024, accounting for 30.5% of incidents. Web-based software services and webmail followed closely, making up 21.2% of reported attacks.
Meanwhile, financial institutions were also heavily targeted, representing 13% of phishing attempts during the period.

Former Tesla Autopilot Head Shares Ultimate Digital Hygiene Tips And Tricks — Andrej Karpathy's 'No Brainer' Guide To Safe And Private Computing

Tech behemoth Microsoft alerted users about a newly discovered malware that threatens 20 of the most widely used cryptocurrency wallets.
What Happened: In a Monday research <a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/security/blog/2025/03/17/stilachirat-analysis-from-system-reconnaissance-to-cryptocurrency-theft/">report</a>, Microsoft identified a remote access trojan named StilachiRAT that could evade detection, maintain its presence&nbsp;in the target environment, and&nbsp;extract sensitive data.
The malware targets some of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-crypto-wallets">most popular wallets</a>, such as&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-use-metamask">MetaMask</a>, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/coinbase-vs-coinbase-wallet">Coinbase Wallet</a>, and Binance (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/bnb/usd">BNB</a>)-owned Trust Wallet. 
First identified in November 2024, the trojan is capable of pilfering users&#8217; wallet details and other&nbsp;credentials, including usernames and passwords,&nbsp;stored in their Google Chrome&nbsp;browser, Microsoft added.
Microsoft suggested&nbsp;some mitigation measures, including the recommendation to download any software only from the official website and install antivirus software.
MetaMask acknowledged Microsoft&#8217;s findings and urged users to take necessary precautions.

White House-appointed &#8216;Crypto Czar,&#8217; David Sacks, revealed Tuesday he might not have sold his cryptocurrency holdings if not for government ethics rules.
What Happened: Sacks took to X to criticize the media portrayal of his cryptocurrency moves before joining the administration. He wrote, &#8220;Why does the media always&nbsp;want to portray cryptocurrency in&nbsp;the worst light? I did&nbsp;not "dump" my cryptocurrency; I&nbsp;divested it.&#8221;
Sacks, a long-standing cryptocurrency investor, admitted that he would have &#8220;preferred not to&#8221; offload his stash but

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">Why does the media always want to portray crypto in the worst light? I did not "dump" my cryptocurrency; I divested it.

</figure>
According to the U.S. Office of Government Ethics, officials who are personally invested in cryptocurrencies need to divest their holdings before they can work on cryptocurrency-related policies.
Earlier this month, Sacks confirmed that he had liquidated all his cryptocurrency holdings, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana, prior to joining the Trump administration. His investment firm, Crypto Ventures, still retains stakes in a few crypto startups, but he no longer has direct exposure to digital assets.

Why It Matters: Sacks&#8217; divestment from cryptocurrencies has been a topic of discussion since his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42356067/venture-capitalist-david-sacks-appointed-as-white-house-ai-crypto-czar-by-trump">appointment</a> as the &#8216;Crypto Czar&#8217; by President Donald Trump in December 2024. 
Earlier this month, Sacks confirmed that he had <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44149246/crypto-czar-david-sacks-confirms-selling-all-bitcoin-ethereum-solana-holdings-denies-large-indirect">liquidated all his cryptocurrency holdings</a>, including Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>), and Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>), before joining the Trump administration. 
While his investment firm, Crypto Ventures, still retains stakes in a few cryptocurrency startups, Sacks himself doesn&#8217;t have direct exposure to digital assets.
Sacks has been a known Trump loyalist. He, along with well-known venture capitalist Chamath Palihapitiya, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/06/39239552/trump-declares-himself-crypto-president-after-raising-12m-at-vc-hosted-san-francisco-fundr" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">hosted a fundraiser at his residence</a>, which ended up collecting $12 million for Trump's presidential campaign last year.

Security researchers found that the Passwords app introduced with Apple Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) iOS 18 was using unencrypted HTTP connections, exposing users to potential phishing attacks until a quiet fix was issued.
What Happened: Apple's standalone Passwords app, launched with iOS 18 as a more user-friendly alternative to Keychain, had a major security oversight.
For nearly three months, the app was fetching website icons and opening password reset pages using unencrypted HTTP connections.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/03/44350512/apples-ai-crisis-reaches-boiling-point-ahead-of-top-100-executive-retreat-tim-cook-and-key-execs-called-out-over-siri-failure-by-top-analyst">Apple&#8217;s AI Crisis Reaches Boiling Point Ahead Of Top 100 Executive Retreat — Tim Cook And Key Execs Called Out Over Siri Failure By Top Analyst</a>
The flaw was discovered by security researchers at Mysk, who noticed the app had contacted over 130 websites through insecure channels.&nbsp;
"This left the user vulnerable," the researchers <a href="https://9to5mac.com/2025/03/18/apples-passwords-app-was-vulnerable-to-phishing-attacks-for-nearly-three-months-after-launch/">told</a> 9to5Mac. "An attacker with privileged network access could intercept the HTTP request and redirect the user to a phishing website."
In a demo, Mysk showed how attackers on public networks—like coffee shops or airports—could hijack HTTP requests and redirect users to convincing fake login pages.

Apple quietly fixed the vulnerability in iOS 18.2 in December, enforcing HTTPS by default for all connections within the Passwords app. However, the company only disclosed the issue publicly earlier this week.
Apple did not&nbsp;immediately respond to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga's</a> request for comments.
Why It's Important: Earlier this year, Apple also faced criticism for an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42907928/apples-alarm-issue-persists-ios-18-fails-to-fix-the-longstanding-problem-leaving-users-oversleeping">alarm issue</a> that persisted even after the release of iOS 18, leaving users oversleeping due to alarms not functioning correctly.
Additionally, a <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/media/25/02/43963720/apples-ai-dictation-bug-that-replaces-racist-with-trump-sparks-controversy-cupertino-says-its-phonetic-overlap">controversial bug</a> in Apple&#8217;s AI-powered dictation system replaced the word &#8220;racist&#8221; with &#8220;Trump,&#8221; sparking widespread attention. These incidents highlight ongoing challenges Apple faces in maintaining software reliability and security.
In January, Apple released iOS 18.3, which <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/01/43257851/ios-183-released-with-urgent-security-fixes-heres-why-every-iphone-user-should-update-immediately">addressed 29 security vulnerabilities</a>, including some that were actively exploited.
Price Action: Apple shares closed Tuesday at $212.69, declining 0.61% during the regular session. However, in after-hours trading, the stock saw a modest increase of 0.15%, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

Apple's New Passwords App Left Users Exposed To Phishing Attacks For Months Due To Serious HTTP Flaw

Cathie Wood, the founder of asset management firm Ark Invest, warned investors Tuesday that most meme coins won't have high worth in the future and "fearsome declines" could be expected.
What happened: During an interview with Bloomberg Podcasts, Wood doubted the sustainability of several new meme coins that have sprung up recently.
"Most of them are not going to be worth very much. We think there are just going to be a few crypto assets that will gain most of the spoils in the entire ecosystem," the seasoned investor said.

Wood said it's up to the investors to be aware of the risks associated with meme coins, especially after the <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/02/44032560/memecoins-like-trump-dogecoin-pepe-not-securities-says-the-sec-but-fraud-related-to-offer-and-sale-subject-to-enforcement">SEC clarified</a> that they do not fall under the purview of federal securities laws.
"What we think will happen is there will be some fearsome declines in the prices of some of these meme assets, and you know there&#8217;s nothing like losing money for people to learn, and they&#8217;ll learn that the SEC regulators are not taking responsibility," Wood added.&nbsp;

Wood carefully dodged a question on whether President Donald Trump's Official Trump (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">TRUMP</a>) meme coin will also become worthless, instead predicting that meme coins will end up as "collector's items."&nbsp;
Why It Matters: Wood&#8217;s views were intriguing, given that she stated in January that the TRUMP meme coin launch may represent the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/43200287/cathie-wood-was-asked-if-she-would-buy-trump-coin-heres-what-she-said">&#8220;next phase of the cryptocurrency revolution.</a>&#8220;
Wood's firm Ark Invest has avoided meme coin investments, and she clarified earlier that their focus was on the "Big Three," namely Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>), and Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>).
Premier cryptocurrency exchanges like Coinbase said last month that they'd follow a <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/02/43841212/coinbase-ceo-brian-armstrong-open-to-memecoins-even-if-they-are-low-quality-we-believe-in-free-market-capitalism">market-driven strategy for meme coins</a>, allowing users to trade even "low quality" tokens if they desired.&nbsp;

Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) is betting big on embodied AI, with a generalist robot brain that mimics human cognition and could help fill a growing labor gap.
What Happened: At <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/tech/25/03/44383445/nvidia-ceo-jensen-huang-announces-gm-partnership-the-time-for-autonomous-vehicles-has-arrived">GTC 2025 in San Jose</a>, Nvidia announced Groot N1, a new foundation model for humanoid robots that CEO Jensen Huang called a major step forward in embodied AI.
Groot N1 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/03/37862375/jensen-huang-reveals-why-nvidia-is-betting-big-on-humanoid-robot-and-embodied-ai">builds upon Nvidia's</a> Project Groot, which debuted at the company&#8217;s GTC conference last year.
According to Nvidia, Groot N1 features a slow-thinking system that enables robots to understand their surroundings, interpret instructions, and develop action plans. Its fast-thinking system executes these plans, allowing robots to perform tasks, including multi-step object manipulation.

The model is open source, and Nvidia is also providing simulation frameworks and blueprints to help generate synthetic training data.
"This could very well likely be the largest industry of all," Huang said during his keynote. "By the end of this decade, the world is going to be at least 50 million workers short. We'd be more than delighted to pay them each $50,000 to come to work—we're probably going to have to pay robots $50,000 a year [instead]."

Why It's Important: During his GTC keynote, Huang also shared his optimistic vision for AI&#8217;s impact across various industries, including physical AI, or robotics.
Huang also presented a chart illustrating the rising demand for Blackwell GPUs, which are just starting to ship, driven by growth in generative AI, agentic AI, and now physical AI.
At the start of his keynote, Huang referenced how GTC has been compared to the &#8220;Woodstock of AI&#8221; in previous years but is now being called the &#8220;Super Bowl of AI.&#8221;

Nvidia Just Unveiled A Humanoid AI Brain Which Allows Robots To Think Slow — Jensen Huang Says, 'This Could Very Well Likely Be The Largest Industry Of All'

Tron (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/trx/usd">TRX</a>) recorded double-digit gains Tuesday after Justin Sun teased the coin's integration with the Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>) blockchain.
What happened: The tenth-largest cryptocurrency popped over 10%, becoming the market's third-biggest gainer over the last 24 hours.
TRX reached a 10-day high of $0.24, while its trading volume jumped 54% to over $991 million in the 24-hour period.&nbsp;
TRX&#8217;s surge outperformed other large-cap cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) and Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>), which declined 0.58% and 0.26%, respectively.&nbsp;
See Also:<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42735744/pharma-bro-martin-shkreli-predicts-doom-for-michael-saylors-microstrategy-as-stock-dips-below-300-in-after-hours-trading"> </a><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/03/44363340/crypto-leaders-step-up-pressure-on-sec-as-trumps-policies-reshape-regulatory-landscape">Crypto Leaders Step Up Pressure On SEC As Trump&#8217;s Policies Reshape Regulatory Landscape</a>
The positive momentum was imparted after Tron founder Justin Sun announced that TRX would have a Solana version.
"TRX will be soon on Solana. Ready to buy and collaborate," Sun said in an X post, piquing the interest of the cryptocurrency community.&nbsp;
As of this writing, it is unclear whether the integration will be performed using a wrapped version of TRX. Sun didn't immediately return Benzinga's request for additional information.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>

Why It Matters: Wrapped tokens are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-buy-wrapped-bitcoin-wbtc">tokenized versions</a> of cryptocurrencies operating on blockchains other than their original networks.
TRX was originally an Ethereum-based token, but it later transitioned to its own blockchain in 2018. Having a Solana version might potentially open up new avenues for decentralized finance and increase the coin's liquidity.
Price Action: At the time of writing, TRX was exchanging hands at $0.2425, up 10.16% 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, the coin was down 4.94%.

Justin Sun Says 'Ready To Buy And Collaborate' In Solana Integration Tease, Tron Rallies 10%

The Bank of Japan unanimously voted Wednesday to maintain its benchmark interest rate at 0.5%, as policymakers weigh potential economic impacts from U.S. tariff policies under President Donald Trump&#8216;s administration while monitoring domestic inflation that remains above target.
What Happened: The decision comes as Japan&#8217;s Nikkei 225 index rose 0.62% to 38,081.23, while the yen held relatively steady at 149.31 against the dollar.
&#8220;Japan&#8217;s economy has recovered moderately, although some weakness has been seen in part,&#8221; the BOJ said in its statement, noting that underlying inflation pressures continue with consumer prices rising at 3.0-3.5% recently, well above the central bank&#8217;s 2% target.
The central bank highlighted &#8220;high uncertainties&#8221; surrounding Japan&#8217;s economic outlook, specifically mentioning &#8220;evolving situation regarding trade and other policies in each jurisdiction.&#8221;

Why It Matters: The BOJ&#8217;s cautious stance mirrors market uncertainties ahead of Wednesday&#8217;s Federal Reserve meeting, where U.S. policymakers are <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/42030455/should-you-subscribe-to-ntpc-green-energy-ipo-check-analysts-calls-latest-gmp">expected to hold rates steady</a> while potentially raising inflation forecasts to account for new tariffs.
Fed funds futures currently indicate expectations for three rate cuts by December, though analysts are increasingly skeptical about this timeline. Speculators have trimmed rate-cut bets, with Kalshi market data showing the most favored scenario now anticipates just two cuts, <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/econ-s/25/03/44386583/speculators-trim-2025-rate-cut-bets-ahead-of-march-fed-meeting-as-inflation-risks-rise">carrying a 24% probability</a>.
The yen, which experienced sharp volatility last year including a 38-year low against the dollar in July 2024, has stabilized somewhat following the BOJ&#8217;s rate <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/09/40951221/bank-of-japan-leaves-interest-rate-at-0-25-diverging-from-feds-50-basis-point-cut">increase to 0.25% last July</a>.

What Happened: On Wednesday, At the company's annual shareholder meeting in Suwon, South Korea, Samsung co-CEO Han Jong-hee issued another public apology, reported Reuters.
&#8220;First and foremost, I sincerely apologize for the recent stock performance not meeting your expectations. Over the past year, our company failed to adequately respond to the rapidly evolving AI semiconductor market,&#8221; Han stated.

He said the company will also adjust its supply chain strategy in response to global trade dynamics, including U.S. tariffs.
Han also promised that Samsung would pursue "meaningful" mergers and acquisitions to spark growth.
Why It's Important: Samsung has lost ground to rivals like SK Hynix and Taiwan Semiconductor Mfg. Co. Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) in key semiconductor segments, especially high-bandwidth memory chips used by Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) for AI applications.

This is Samsung's second public apology in five months.
&#8220;We have caused concerns about our fundamental technological competitiveness and the future of the company due to our performance falling short of the market's expectations," the company said in a statement released in October. &#8220;Many people are talking about Samsung's crisis. We, who are leading the business, are responsible for all of this.&#8221;
Samsung&#8217;s <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/01/43382010/samsung-q4-earnings-12-revenue-growth-closes-gap-with-apple-in-premium-phones-eyes-ai-powered-growth-in-2025">fourth-quarter revenue</a> rose 12%, reaching 75.8 trillion Korean won ($52.2 billion). However, due to market conditions, its operating profit dropped 30% quarter-over-quarter to 6.5 trillion Korean won ($4.48 billion).

Samsung Apologizes Yet Again For AI Missteps, Promises Major Deals As Shareholders Fume Over Plunging Stock: 'Our Company Failed To...'

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk condemned what he called &#8220;extreme domestic terrorism&#8221; on Tuesday after reports emerged of a website publishing personal information of Tesla owners across the United States.
What Happened: &#8220;Encouraging destruction of Teslas throughout the country is extreme domestic terrorism!!&#8221; Musk wrote on X, responding to reports that a site called &#8220;Dogequest&#8221; had published names, addresses, and phone numbers of Tesla owners alongside an interactive map featuring a Molotov cocktail cursor.
The website reportedly demands owners prove they&#8217;ve sold their vehicles to have their information removed, apparently in response to Musk&#8217;s role in President Donald Trump&#8216;s administration.
This incident follows escalating <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44295318/marjorie-taylor-greene-demands-fbi-doj-probe-into-organized-attacks-on-teslaquestions-possible-democrat-ngo-ties">anti-Tesla sentiment nationwide</a>. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) recently called for federal investigation into what she described as &#8220;organized attacks&#8221; on Tesla facilities, citing incidents including damaged charging stations near Boston, gunfire at a Portland dealership, and arson targeting Cybertrucks in Seattle.
In her letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel, Greene questioned potential connections between these incidents and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44295318/marjorie-taylor-greene-demands-fbi-doj-probe-into-organized-attacks-on-teslaquestions-possible-democrat-ngo-ties">Democrat-leaning organizations</a> that &#8220;receive a significant amount of funding from ActBlue.&#8221;

Why It Matters: Public demonstrations against Tesla have grown more common, with investor Ross Gerber sharing footage of protesters outside a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44350195/ross-gerber-shares-peaceful-display-of-distaste-for-elon-musk-in-santa-monica-his-9-year-old-observes-glad-we-dont-have-a-tesla">Tesla store in Santa Monica</a>. Gerber, despite being a long-time investor, has grown increasingly critical of the company, noting Tesla shares remain overvalued &#8220;even after plunging nearly 50% since mid-December.&#8221;
Individual <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44348055/anti-musk-protester-vandalizes-tesla-cybertruck-with-swastika-shocking-jewish-owner">incidents have also made headlines</a>, including a defaced Cybertruck in New York City. The vehicle&#8217;s owner, Avi Ben Hamo, told The New York Post, &#8220;I feel myself burning inside.&#8221;
The tensions coincide with Musk&#8217;s dual role as Tesla CEO and leader of the Department of Government Efficiency in Trump&#8217;s administration. The company reported its first annual sales decline in 2024, with JPMorgan Chase <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44350195/ross-gerber-shares-peaceful-display-of-distaste-for-elon-musk-in-santa-monica-his-9-year-old-observes-glad-we-dont-have-a-tesla">analysts warning Wednesday</a> that Tesla &#8220;lost too much brand value too quickly.&#8221;

Nvidia, Meta, Sarepta, D-Wave, And Tesla: Why These 5 Stocks Are On Investors' Radars Today

Investing in the <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44287485/peter-lynch-said-theres-always-something-to-worry-about-but-success-in-the-stock-market-depends-on-your-stomach-not-the-brain">stock market</a> is described by some as a <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/03/44269039/michael-dell-joins-trump-elon-musk-for-high-stakes-ai-talks-as-dell-eyes-15-billion-in-server-business">high-stakes</a> game, especially when it comes to individual stocks like NVIDIA (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>).
Known for its volatility and powerful growth potential, NVDA is a favorite stock among investors seeking considerable returns. Still, with explosive potential comes explosive risk, and the decision to invest a huge amount of money in a single stock requires careful consideration.
Don't Miss:
<ul>
<li>Can you guess how many retire with a $5,000,000 nest egg? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/5mil-nest-egg-adv">The percentage may shock you</a>.</li>
<li>If there was a new fund backed by Jeff Bezos offering a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/arrived-private-credit-fund">7-9% target yield with monthly dividends would you invest in it</a>?</li>
</ul>
This is the crossroads a Reddit investor found himself at. An NVDA investor with a $130,000 cash reserve and a high-stakes plan to invest heavily in the tech giant, the poster is in his mid-30s and has been holding NVDA shares since 2019. He currently owns 2,100 shares, bought initially for $20,000, which have grown significantly in time.
Over the last two years, the investor has been building his stack of money, which now reached $130,000, waiting for the share to drop below $100 to move $100,000 into the market.
&#8220;I own about 8 stocks total but I really believe NVDA is undervalued right now. Thoughts on this and if I should do it differently?&#8221; he wrote.
His post sparked a lively discussion in the comment section, so let&#8217;s analyze Redditors&#8217; suggestions.
Trending: BlackRock is calling 2025 the year of alternative assets. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">One firm from NYC has quietly built a group of 60,000+ investors who have all joined in on an alt asset class previously exclusive to billionaires like Bezos and Gates.</a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">$100,000 in NVDA Only? Reddit Debates the Investor&#8217;s Plan</h2>
Diversify Across Multiple Stocks
Many commenters suggested the poster avoid putting the whole $100,000 into NVDA, and instead diversify across several stocks or sectors.
&#8220;Spread it over at least five different stocks. Preferably not all in tech, but also in other fields of business. If AI gets hit hard, at least still make some possible pharmaceutical or retail gains,&#8221; a comment says.
&#8220;Spread it out,&#8221; another user recommended.
One Redditor encouraged the poster to put the money into the market if he has other investments but to avoid going all-in in NVDA.
&#8220;As long as you have other investments then go for it. Just don&#8217;t go all in just into Nvidia. Have a diversified portfolio,&#8221; he said.
A user shared the fact that he agrees with the poster&#8217;s belief in Nvidia, but suggested he split the purchase with a particular fund.
&#8220;I believe in Nvidia&#8217;s fundamentals; however, I don&#8217;t look at my retirement as a gamble or a game. So I personally believe in being well diversified, but if you really believe heavily in Nvidia as many of us do, then allow me to suggest&#8230; When you decide to buy more Nvidia, I&#8217;d split the purchase with the mutual fund [Fidelity Select Electronics Portfolio (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/fselx#NASDAQ">FSELX</a>)] to help spread some of the risk out of the sector. My and everyone else&#8217;s return on FSELX over the last five years has been north of 200% so it&#8217;s a solid buy. Just my opinion,&#8221; he wrote.
&#8220;Why not wait until the market reaches the bottom and then make educated decisions? Also, don&#8217;t forget diversification,&#8221; a comment reads.

Consider Alternative Strategies
Several commenters recommended the investor alternative strategies to mitigate the risks of market timing, including dollar-cost averaging and selling puts to generate revenue while waiting for the $100 entry point.
&#8220;What happens if it doesn&#8217;t reach $100? Is this the only plan for your cash? If so, dollar cost into it in case it never makes it,&#8221; a Redditor suggested.
One commenter recommended a similar approach, advising the investor to split the investment into several buys.
&#8220;Split and buy, maybe in four parts. It is essentially like [dollar-cost averaging], but not exactly. Say your first entry is at $100; however, it does average your cost in case it goes down another 10%-20% below $100. But whatever I do, I'd not rush into entry and wait for a few more weeks,&#8221; the commenter wrote.
Two Redditors came up with a more advanced strategy, suggesting the poster sells puts to generate income.
&#8220;Sell 13 puts now with a $100 strike. That way, if it never gets there, at least you made some money anyway.&#8221;
&#8220;Sell a put, I guess. At least get paid for buying at $100,&#8221; another comment reads.

What Happened: Bitcoin corrected to an intraday low of $81,179.99 in the early morning hours but staged a recovery past $83,000 overnight after President Donald Trump‘s call with Russian President Vladimir Putin <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/03/44384160/oil-prices-slip-energy-stocks-pause-as-trump-putin-call-signals-ukraine-ceasefire-progress">signaled a Ukraine ceasefire</a>. Ethereum also recouped losses from the morning hours, rising to $1,945.
More than $214 million was liquidated from the market in the last 24 hours, with bullish bets accounting for over $140 million. That said, about $376 million in shorts risked liquidation if Bitcoin reclaimed $85,000.
Additionally, if Bitcoin reclaims $87,000, a further $500 million in shorts would be wiped out.
Bitcoin's Open Interest fell 0.89% in the last 24 hours, mirroring the spot price trajectory. More than 50% of Bitcoin derivatives traders were short on the apex cryptocurrency, according to the Long/Short ratio, suggesting further downsides could be in the works.
The market remained fearful as of this writing, according to the Crypto Fear and Greed Index.
