A man has been apprehended in connection with an arson attack at the residence of Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro (D), while the governor and his family were inside.
What Happened: A 38-year-old man was arrested in connection with an arson attack on the Pennsylvania governor&#8217;s residence while Gov. Josh Shapiro and his family were inside, CNN <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2025/04/13/us/pennsylvania-governor-josh-shapiro-arson/index.html">reported</a> on Sunday. The fire, which occurred around 2 a.m., caused significant damage to the building, according to Pennsylvania State Police.
Harrisburg resident Cody Balmer was taken into custody on Sunday, as announced by Col. Christopher Paris, the state police commissioner, during an afternoon news conference. Although Balmer has not yet been charged, Dauphin County District Attorney Fran Chardo plans to charge him with attempted murder, terrorism, aggravated arson, and aggravated assault against an enumerated person. Chardo also mentioned the possibility of federal charges.
Balmer allegedly climbed over a fence and forcibly entered the residence before setting the fire. He was inside for less than a minute and evaded troopers searching for him, Lt. Col. George Bivens stated. The attack was described as &#8220;targeted,&#8221; though the motive remains unclear.
Shapiro emphasized his determination to continue his work undeterred, expressing pride in his Jewish faith and gratitude to law enforcement for their swift response. The FBI is assisting state police in the ongoing investigation, and a security review is underway to prevent future incidents.

Man Arrested For Arson At Pennsylvania Governor's Residence, Josh Shapiro Says, 'This Kind Of Violence Has Become Far Too Common'

<li>Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson has waxed bullish about Bitcoin despite tariff-inspired market turbulence.</li>
<li>Hoskinson has argued that tariffs will prove less impactful than many think.</li>
<li>He sees the Magnificent Seven jumping into the cryptocurrency market as the rules of the road become clear.</li>
</ul>
So far, 2025 has not been the year most cryptocurrency market participants anticipated. Hamstrung by unprecedented macroeconomic conditions stoked by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44618089/trumps-tariffs-surprise-triggers-carnage-magnificent-7-set-to-wipe-out-nearly-700-billion-in-market-value">President Donald Trump&#8216;s tariff regime</a>, asset prices have not only failed to take off <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/04/44659799/bitcoin-plunges-below-80000-ethereum-dogecoin-crash-as-cryptocurrencies-mirror-stocks-amid-trump-tariff-mayhem-analyst-flags-critical-support-level-for-btc">but significantly retreated from recent highs</a>.
While one might expect current market uncertainty to give cryptocurrency bulls pause for thought, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/04/44716576/trump-tariff-winners-bitcoin-and-gold-bitwises-matt-hougan-says">many are brushing it off</a>. The latest to join this chorus is Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">$250K Still In View For Bitcoin In 2025?</h2>
Hoskinson has waxed bullish about Bitcoin despite tariff-inspired market turbulence. Speaking on CNBC&#8217;s &#8220;Beyond The Valley&#8221; <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/beyond-the-valley-videos/">podcast</a> on Tuesday, he asserted that he expected Bitcoin to hit a record $250,000 price &#8220;by the end of this year or next year.&#8221;
Addressing concerns around Trump&#8217;s aggressive tariff policy, Hoskinson suggested that the debacle would prove less impactful than many think.
&#8220;What will happen is that the tariff stuff will be a dud, and that people will realize that the world is willing to negotiate, and it&#8217;s really just U.S. versus China. And a lot of people will side with us. Some people side with China,&#8221; he contended.
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>
Hoskinson believes &#8220;the markets will stabilize&#8221; as the world eventually gets used to the resulting trade divide.
&#8220;The markets will stabilize a little bit, and they&#8217;ll get used to the new normal, and then the Fedeserve] will lower interest rates, and then you&#8217;ll have a lot of fast, cheap money, and then it&#8217;ll pour into crypto,&#8221; he asserted.
These statements perhaps hold more weight as Trump <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44720006/markets-take-off-as-trump-announces-90-day-tariff-pause-for-non-retaliating-nations-slaps-china-with-125-duty">decided to pause his supposed &#8220;reciprocal tariffs&#8221;</a> on all countries but China on Wednesday, though many experts argue that the worst is far from over.
Away from tariff concerns, Hoskinson offered three main factors to defend his $250,000 price per Bitcoin target.
The first factor cited by Hoskinson is a rise in the number of cryptocurrency users. According to a February Crypto.com <a href="https://crypto.com/en/company-news/global-cryptocurrency-owners-grow-to-659-million-through-2024">report</a>, cryptocurrency holders grew to 659 million in 2024, a 13% increase over the previous year.
Secondly, Hoskinson expects global businesses to have no choice but to turn to crypto amid an anticipated breakdown of geopolitical order, citing Russia&#8217;s invasion of Ukraine and China&#8217;s advances on Taiwan as markers.
See Also: If there was a new fund backed by Jeff Bezos offering a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/arrived-private-credit-fund">7-9% target yield with monthly dividends would you invest in it</a>?
The third catalyst cited by Hoskinson is the anticipated cryptocurrency regulatory clarity in the U.S., as with pressure from Trump, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44267582/us-house-committee-favors-stablecoin-regulation-to-strenthen-dollar-advocates-against-cbdc">lawmakers are pursuing stablecoin</a> and market structure legislation.&nbsp;
He argued that these regulations, expected before the year&#8217;s end, will trigger crypto&#8217;s next leg up, especially as he believes that stablecoin rules, in particular, will lead the Magnificent Seven to jump into the cryptocurrency space. The Magnificent Seven refers to high-performing and influential companies in the U.S. stock market, including Alphabet (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>), Apple (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), and Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>).
Hoskinson contends that these Magnificent 7 will use stablecoins for everything from payment of salaries to international staff to facilitating small transactions on their platform that would have otherwise proved too costly on traditional payment rails.
Till expected regulations kick in, however, Hoskinson expects the cryptocurrency market to idle, predicting a three to five-month window before the next impulse.
At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading just below $79,000. It will need an over 200% surge to hit Hoskinson&#8217;s target.

Why Cardano Founder Sees Bitcoin Hitting $250K This Year Despite Trump Tariffs

President Donald Trump has been declared in excellent health following his annual physical examination at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.
What Happened: On Friday, President Trump underwent a thorough physical examination, as detailed by the White House. The examination, led by Capt. Sean P. Barbabella, included a series of diagnostic and laboratory tests, along with consultations from fourteen specialists.
At 78 years and 10 months old, Trump is reported to be in excellent health. His vital statistics include a height of 75 inches, weight of 224 pounds, resting heart rate of 62 beats per minute, and blood pressure of 128/74 mmHg. The examination showed normal results in cardiac, pulmonary, and neurological functions, according to Barbabella&#8217;s memo, released by the White House on Sunday.
His cognitive abilities were assessed using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment — a screening tool for the detection of mild cognitive impairment, where he achieved a perfect score of 30 out of 30. Screenings for depression and anxiety were normal.
Trump maintains an active lifestyle, contributing to his robust health. His medical history includes well-controlled hypercholesterolemia and seasonal allergies. 
&#8220;Trump&#8217;s days include participation in multiple meetings, public appearances, press availability, and frequent victories in golf events. President Trump exhibits excellent cognitive and physical health and is fully fit to execute the duties of the Commander-in-Chief and Head of State,&#8221; wrote Barbabella.

Why It Matters: The health of political leaders has been a significant topic of public interest, especially concerning Trump and former President Joe Biden. Previously, Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-Texas), a former White House physician, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/09/34873790/donald-trumps-health-in-top-10-of-everyone-his-age-says-former-white-house-doctor-he-could-live-to-b">praised Trump&#8217;s health</a>, stating it ranks in the &#8220;top 10% of everyone his age.&#8221; Despite Trump&#8217;s unconventional diet and exercise habits, Jackson highlighted his strong cardiac stress test results and cognitive abilities.
In June last year, Trump, who was running for presidency again, challenged Biden to take a cognitive test, emphasizing the importance of mental acuity in leadership roles. During a campaign event, he suggested that Biden should take a cognitive test similar to the one he took in 2018, although he <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39348388/donald-trump-challenges-joe-biden-to-take-cognitive-test-fumbles-own-doctors-name-in-process">misnamed his own doctor</a> in the process, calling Rep. Ronny Jackson &#8220;Ronny Johnson.&#8221;

Trump Passes Annual Physical With Flying Colors, White House Doctor Cites 'Frequent Victories In Golf Events' While Giving Him The All-Clear

The stock market may be in panic mode, but Jim Cramer is leaning in. The CNBC host is doubling down—literally—on the selloff, calling it a moment to watch, not flee. Cramer reminded viewers of the brutal 2008 financial crisis and how, despite the crash, the market bounced back. Slowly, yes. But it came back.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Cramer Sees Tariff Turmoil as Chance to Pounce</h2>
During Thursday's "<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/03/jim-cramer-what-im-doing-as-the-stock-market-dives-on-trumps-tariffs.html">Squawk on the Street</a>&#8220;, Cramer said, "If you were OK in 2007 and 2008, it came back."&nbsp;
He emphasized that while it took until 2013 for portfolios to recover their pre-crisis value, those who stayed invested ultimately came out ahead. The key message? Don't sell. "Just hold," he said.

</ul>
That advice might hit differently for retirees or those close to retirement. "They're in limbo," Cramer admitted. But for long-term investors, the recent market drop, spurred by President Donald Trump's sweeping tariff announcements, is being viewed by some as a classic "buy the dip" scenario.
Backing his words with action, Cramer revealed he had purchased more shares of two stocks for the <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/03/jim-cramer-what-im-doing-as-the-stock-market-dives-on-trumps-tariffs.html">CNBC Investing Club</a> portfolio—though he didn't name them on-air—saying they're unfairly punished in the current climate.&nbsp;
According to him, this isn't about market collapse; it's about valuation shifts. "This is a price-to-earnings ratio lowering event," he said. "That's what's happening."&nbsp;
Right now, the forward P/E on the S&amp;P 500 is just above 20, while the trailing P/E, which looks at <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/p/price-earningsratio.asp">earnings</a> from the last four quarters, is around 25. That's a notable shift from previous months, suggesting valuations are correcting after a long period of elevated pricing.
Trending: If there was a new fund backed by Jeff Bezos offering a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/arrived-private-credit-fund">7-9% target yield with monthly dividends would you invest in it</a>?
Cramer also revisited the advice he gave around the time of the global financial crisis. "I came on the <a href="https://www.today.com/news/jim-cramer-time-get-out-stock-market-wbna27045699">Today show</a> in 2008 and I said, ‘If you need any money in the next five years, you should sell.' And it was a great call," he said. He recalled another pivotal moment: the so-called <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2015/03/09/pisani-remembers-haines-legendary-2009-call.html">"Haines bottom</a>" on March 10, 2009.&nbsp;
That's when late CNBC anchor Mark Haines famously declared on-air that the market had bottomed. Cramer credited Haines for getting him back in at the right time, saying, "Mark called me… and said, ‘You got to get on board.'"
Since then, Cramer has been vocal about how people often remember the warning to sell but forget the equally important call to reenter the market. His bigger point? Trying to time the market requires being right twice—once on the way out, and again on the way back in. It's a gamble most investors don't win.

Jim Cramer Urges Investors To Stay Strong—'If You Were OK In 2008, It Came Back'—Says Market Plunge Is A Buying Opportunity

Back in 2020, Bill Gates made it clear that lumping Elon Musk and Steve Jobs into the same "visionary" category isn't just lazy—it misses the point entirely.
In an <a href="https://youtu.be/WMGCeCCcEcc?si=WrM24FU7fiCpsw1w">interview with Bloomberg's Erik Schatzker</a>, the Microsoft co-founder acknowledged that both men have made massive contributions to the world. Still, he pushed back on the growing narrative that Musk is "the new Steve Jobs."
"People have described Elon Musk as the new Steve Jobs. Is he the new Steve Jobs?" Schatzker asked.

</ul>
Gates didn't hesitate, stating: "If you know people personally, then that kind of gross oversimplification—it seems strange. You know, Elon's more of a hands-on engineer. Steve was a genius at design and picking people and marketing. You wouldn't walk into a room and confuse them with each other."
And that wasn't a diss. Gates had just spent part of the interview complimenting Musk's contributions to electric vehicles and climate change.
"Elon Musk has built a great electric car," Gates said. "He's designed and built reusable rockets. He's an innovator in tunneling."
But while he gave credit where it was due, Gates drew a line between invention and inspiration.
Jobs, he explained, wasn't the one building the tech with his own hands—he was the one turning that tech into cultural touchstones. "Steve was a genius at design and picking people and marketing," Gates said, with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/10/41457050/bill-gates-once-said-he-was-so-jealous-of-apples-steve-jobs-and-labeled-him-a-genius-and-wizard-no-o">a hint of admiration</a> for his longtime rival.

Gates has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43880898/im-in-awe-bill-gates-says-elon-musk-is-brilliant-rich-and-influential-but-admits-hes-been-mean-to-me-at-times">publicly praised Musk's work</a> in many interviews over the years—crediting Tesla's early lead in the EV market and SpaceX's progress in space tech. But the admiration hasn't exactly gone both ways. Musk, who's been openly critical of Gates, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44434228/elon-musk-said-bill-gates-would-be-obliterated-for-shorting-tesla-but-short-sellers-just-made-16-2-billion-in-3-months-betting-against-him">accused him of shorting Tesla stock</a>—something Gates admitted to, adding fuel to the tension between the two billionaires.
Still, Gates kept things respectful, staying focused on the difference in style—not substance.
While Musk is often found elbow-deep in engineering problems, Gates described Jobs as someone who crafted entire product ecosystems by assembling the right minds and pushing for perfection. "You wouldn't confuse them," he repeated, pointing out how their leadership styles were almost opposites.
The takeaway? Comparing Musk and Jobs might make for a good headline, but according to Gates, it flattens two very different kinds of genius into one—and does justice to neither.

Bill Gates Said It's A 'Gross Oversimplification' To Compare Elon Musk To 'Genius' Steve Jobs — 'You Wouldn't Walk Into A Room And Confuse Them'

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz delivered a fiery message on Tuesday to a crowd of more than 2,800 people at a town hall in Youngstown, Ohio, pushing Democrats to rethink their message, rally around working-class values, and call out greed where it exists.
&#8220;It's okay in America to be successful. We should celebrate that when people are successful,&#8221; Walz <a href="https://x.com/MarcoFoster_/status/1909617121010635124">said</a>. &#8220;What my beef is, once you get successful, don't be a greedy bastard and not pay your taxes.

The event, hosted by Walz, was packed with local residents frustrated by President Donald Trump's policies, including tariffs, mass deportations, and federal layoffs. While the night focused on building Democratic momentum in a region that has leaned Republican in recent elections, it also served as a sharp rebuke of the former president's economic approach.
&#8220;The only thing many of us question is, is it malevolence or stupidity that drives him to these [policies], or both?&#8221; Walz <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=krWHTZZmsFo">asked</a> the crowd.
He made it known that Democrats need to engage at every level of politics, from school boards to Congress. &#8220;It means paying attention to school board races, because the Moms for Liberty folks sure the hell are,&#8221; he said.

Walz also warned about the unrealistic expectations being shaped by social media. &#8220;We're creating a false narrative that everybody is super rich and has Lamborghinis and life is easy,&#8221; he said.

&#8220;What we should demonize is people like Elon Musk and those people that do that. That's different. That's different,&#8221; Walz said.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Trade War Fallout and Harsh Words for Trump</h2>
In a recent <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeWu-ju7nRA">interview</a> with MSNBC, Walz also took aim at Trump's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44213871/canadas-next-pm-mark-carney-vows-to-win-trade-war-with-trump-says-americans-should-make-no-mistake">trade war with Canada</a>, saying it will hurt Minnesota's economy, especially agriculture.

Walz also called Trump &#8220;the worst possible business executive that I have ever witnessed,&#8221; pointing to his bankruptcies, unpaid bills, and treatment of contractors.&nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Call to Action</h2>
Throughout the Youngstown town hall, Walz encouraged Democrats to stop writing off Republican strongholds and to get more involved in local elections. He also emphasized the importance of connecting with Trump supporters in a respectful but firm way.
&#8220;Let them know that you're competent. Let them know that you're there. Those who show up make the rules,&#8221; he said.

Tim Walz Says, 'It's Okay To Be Successful,' But 'Don't Be A Greedy Bastard And Not Pay Your Taxes'

In a Sunday interview, Ray Dalio, the founder of Bridgewater Associates, expressed his apprehension about a possible economic crisis that could surpass a recession if the current economic policies are not managed effectively.
What Happened: Dalio shared his concerns on Sunday on NBC&#8217;s Meet The Press. He warned that the U.S. is on the brink of a recession and a severe economic downturn could be on the horizon if the situation is not controlled properly.
Dalio, who had previously accurately&nbsp;predicted the 2008 financial crisis, drew attention to the collapse of the monetary order and significant changes in the domestic and global order. He drew parallels between the current times and the 1930s, referring to the disruptive mix of tariffs, excessive debt, and a rising power challenging the existing power.
&#8220;I think that right now we are at a decision-making point and very close to a recession,&#8221; Dalio <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/investor-predicted-2008-financial-crisis-says-worried-something-worse-rcna201040">told</a> NBC. &#8220;And I&#8217;m worried about something worse than a recession, if this isn&#8217;t handled well.&#8221;
He specifically highlighted&nbsp;the unsustainable growth of U.S.&nbsp;debt,&nbsp;the decline in U.S. manufacturing, and the country&#8217;s increasing dependence on other nations for essential items. Dalio called on Congress members to commit to reducing the budget deficit to 3% of the GDP, cautioning of&nbsp;a supply-demand problem for debt&nbsp;if this is not achieved.

&#8220;If they don&#8217;t, we&#8217;re going to have a supply-demand problem for debt at the same time as we have these other problems, and the results of that will be worse than a normal recession,&#8221; he added.
In Dalio&#8217;s worst-case scenario, the world economy could face disruption, potential military conflict could arise, and internal conflict could lead to a deviation from the known democratic norms.
Why It Matters: Dalio&#8217;s predictions are significant given his track record of accurately forecasting the 2008 financial crisis. His concerns about the current economic policies and the potential for a severe economic downturn highlight the importance of effective management and policy reform. 
The comparison to the 1930s serves as a stark reminder of the potential consequences of economic mismanagement and could serve as a wake-up call for policymakers. 
The specific issues Dalio points out, such as&nbsp;the unsustainable growth of U.S.&nbsp;debt and&nbsp;the decline in U.S. manufacturing, are critical areas that need to be addressed to prevent a potential crisis.

Ray Dalio Foresees Economic Crisis Worse Than Recession: 'I'm Worried About Something Worse Than A Recession, If This Isn't Handled Well'

Apple Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) has managed to dodge a potential disaster as its key consumer electronics have been exempted from the 125% tariffs on goods manufactured in China by President Donald Trump.
What Happened: The tariff exemption announced by President Trump on Friday night encompasses&nbsp;iPhones, iPads, Macs, Apple Watches, and AirTags. Furthermore, the&nbsp;10% tariff on goods imported&nbsp;from other countries has been&nbsp;waived off for these products.
Despite the possibility of a new, lower sectoral tariff being imposed on goods containing semiconductors,&nbsp;and a 20% tariff on&nbsp;China still in place, this development signifies a major triumph for Apple and the consumer electronics industry that is heavily dependent on China for production, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-04-13/apple-was-on-brink-of-crisis-before-tariff-concession-from-trump?srnd=homepage-americas&amp;sref=TBDibEcD">reports </a>Bloomberg. 
Amit Daryanani, an analyst at Evercore ISI, expressed his relief for Apple in a note on Saturday, stating, &#8220;The&nbsp;tariffs would have driven material&nbsp;cost inflation.&#8221; He predicts a surge in Apple&#8217;s shares on Monday following an 11% plunge this month.
Prior to the recent exemption, Apple had devised a plan to shift its supply chain to manufacture&nbsp;more US-bound iPhones in India,&nbsp;which would have been subject&nbsp;to much lower levies.

This strategy was viewed as a short-term solution to evade the high China tariff and avert significant price increases.
Nevertheless, uncertainty prevails as White House policies are prone to change,&nbsp;and Apple may need to&nbsp;implement more drastic alterations.&nbsp;The Chinese Ministry of Commerce&nbsp;has described the move as &#8220;a&nbsp;small step by the US&nbsp;toward correcting its wrongful action&nbsp;of unilateral &#8216;reciprocal tariffs&#8217;,&#8221; and has called on the US to completely rescind the action.
Howard Lutnick, the US Commerce Secretary, indicated on ABC outlet that the late Friday reprieve&nbsp;was temporary, and reiterated Trump's&nbsp;plan to apply a different,&nbsp;specific levy to the sector.
Why It Matters:&nbsp;The tariff exemption is a significant development for Apple, which heavily relies on China for manufacturing its products. The move could potentially save the company from significant cost inflation, as noted by&nbsp;Evercore ISI analyst Amit Daryanani. 
However, the uncertainty surrounding White House policies and the temporary nature of the reprieve means that Apple may still need to consider alternative strategies, such as shifting more of its manufacturing to countries like India. 
The ongoing trade tensions between the US and China also add an element of unpredictability to the situation.

President Trump, In Truth Social Post Sunday, Said "There Was No Tariff Exception Announced On Friday. These Products Are Subject To The Existing 20% Fentanyl Tariffs, And They Are Just Moving To A Different Tariff Bucket"

Entrepreneur and former presidential candidate Andrew Yang sparked conversation on social media Thursday morning with a simple but thought-provoking math question: &#8220;If something goes down 10% and then up 10% are you back where you started?&#8221;
&#8220;No because the decrease is from a bigger number,&#8221; Yang explained in a <a href="https://x.com/AndrewYang/status/1910146705045020719">tweet</a> that included a quick example. &#8220;E.g., 100 &#8211; 10 = 90 + 9 = 99.&#8221;

Andrew Yang Wonders, 'If Something Goes Down 10% And Then Up 10%, Are You Back Where You Started?'

Billionaire and Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban once shed light on the common misconceptions about super-rich individuals and the impact of<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/top-stories/24/06/39241650/heres-how-mark-cuban-made-91-of-his-employees-millionaires"> wealth on personal relationships</a>.
What Happened: Cuban, who has made a name for himself by investing in profitable companies and appearing on &#8220;Shark Tank,&#8221; shared his thoughts on wealth during an interview on The HoopsHype Podcast.
Contrary to the general perception, Cuban stated that money doesn&#8217;t necessarily alter a person.&nbsp;&#8220;Everybody thinks that money changes&nbsp;you. And it can, in&nbsp;many respects, but it doesn&#8217;t&nbsp;have to,&#8221; he said during the <a href="https://hoopshype.com/category/podcast/">interview</a>.
&#8220;Even when I was dead broke sleeping on the floor, I was having fun, hanging out with my friends. And those guys are still my same friends now,&#8221; he added.&nbsp;
Cuban also touched upon the difficulties of preserving relationships after acquiring wealth.&nbsp;&#8220;The hardest part is just dealing with friends when it first happens because they&#8217;re the ones that aren&#8217;t quite sure if you&#8217;re going to be the same person, how you&#8217;re going to act. Are you always going to pick up the check or only sometimes pick up the check? So it&#8217;s a little adjustment, but your true friends stay your true friends,&#8221; he elaborated.

Despite his vast fortune, Cuban underscored his efforts to maintain his down-to-earth attitude&nbsp;and ensure that his wealth&nbsp;hasn&#8217;t changed his character. He also noted that his wealth has granted him&nbsp;peace of mind and flexibility.
Cuban attributes his success to the time he has devoted to his family and children.
&#8220;I&#8217;m lucky because I don&#8217;t have to stress about bills, I don&#8217;t have to worry if they&#8217;re going to turn my lights off again and stuff like that, which I had to worry about in the past,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I don&#8217;t have to worry about money, and I can set my schedule,&#8221; Cuban said.&nbsp;
Why It Matters: Cuban&#8217;s insights provide a rare glimpse into the lives of the super-rich, challenging common stereotypes. His comments underscore the importance of maintaining personal values and relationships, despite significant wealth. 
This perspective is particularly relevant in today&#8217;s society, where wealth is often equated with personal change. 
Cuban&#8217;s emphasis on family and personal relationships as a key to success offers a refreshing counterpoint to the usual narratives surrounding wealth and success.

Mark Cuban Gets Real About What It Takes To Get Rich: 'Even When I Was Dead Broke Sleeping on the Floor, I Was Having Fun'

A recent survey conducted by The Wall Street Journal reveals that economists have drastically reduced growth estimates and raised inflation and unemployment projections since President Donald Trump assumed office, largely due to his trade policies.
What Happened: The outlet reported on Saturday that economists have adjusted their perspective on the U.S. economy in light of President Trump&#8217;s assertive trade policies. The primary driver of this change is the implementation of tariffs, which have been escalated beyond what was expected three months ago.
The <a href="https://www.wsj.com/economy/trade/us-economic-outlook-trump-b4e3469a?mod=hp_lead_pos1">survey</a>, which compiled&nbsp;responses from 64 academic and&nbsp;business economists between April 4 and 8, forecasts that the US gross domestic product (GDP) will only grow by&nbsp;0.8% in the fourth quarter&nbsp;compared to the previous year. This marks a substantial decrease from the 2% GDP growth predicted in January.
Findings from the survey also indicate that economists have raised their estimated likelihood of a&nbsp;recession in the next 12&nbsp;months to 45%, a significant increase from 22% in January. &#8220;We&#8217;re dancing with recession,&#8221; Joseph Davis, Vanguard&#8217;s chief economist told the outlet.

In addition, economists anticipate that the average US tariff rate will surge about 19 percentage points by 2025. This is projected to deduct&nbsp;1.2 percentage points from 2025&nbsp;GDP growth and contribute an additional&nbsp;1.1 percentage points to inflation.
James F. Smith&nbsp;of EconForecaster has forecasted 3.1% growth on the assumption Trump will quickly roll back any tariffs because they are "so outrageous."
"It's looking like brilliant diplomacy. In the short run, I'd be very surprised to learn that most of the companies with critical supply chains don't have big inventories in warehouses around the U.S," Smith said. 
The unpredictability of Trump&#8217;s trade policies, including his inconsistent stance on tariffs, has further complicated the economic forecast. &#8220;No one—including, apparently, Trump himself—knows&nbsp;the final outcome,&#8221; the Journal reported.
Why It Matters:&nbsp;The revised economic outlook underscores the potential long-term impact of Trump&#8217;s trade policies on the US economy. The expected rise in tariffs and the increased probability of a recession could have significant implications for businesses and consumers alike. 
The uncertainty surrounding these policies adds another layer of complexity to economic planning and forecasting. 
As such, investors, policymakers, and businesses will need to closely monitor these developments and adjust their strategies accordingly.

Trump's Tariff Policies Fuel Economic Concerns, Economists Expect Slower Growth Ahead

Solana reached an all-time high of $295 in mid-January, just as President Trump launched his memecoin, $Trump. Fast forward to Tuesday, and the once-promising blockchain is trading at just $111.20, a staggering 60% drop from its peak. This dramatic decline has left many investors questioning what went wrong and where the blockchain's price is headed next.
One of the key drivers behind Solana's meteoric rise was the retail hype surrounding memecoins, particularly following the release of BONK in December 2022. The meme coin sparked massive retail interest and propelled Solana into the spotlight, driving a surge in decentralized exchange volumes. On Jan. 17, the day the $Trump token launched, Solana saw a peak of $36 billion in DEX volume, a record high for the network.

</ul>
However, that momentum has since faded. As of Tuesday, daily DEX volume on Solana has dropped significantly, averaging just around $1.5 billion per day. This sharp decline in trading activity signals a slowdown in the hype cycle that once fueled Solana's growth. With prices now stabilizing well below their highs, Solana holders need to understand what this trend means for the future of the network.
Solana: A High Beta Asset With High Risk, High Reward
It's important to remember that Solana is a high beta asset—meaning it tends to move more aggressively than the broader crypto market. When prices are rising, Solana often outpaces other top tokens, delivering outsized gains. But the flip side is just as true: when sentiment shifts or liquidity dries up, Solana can experience sharper drawdowns.
This volatility is a double-edged sword for investors. While it helped push Solana from under $10 to nearly $300 in just over a year, it also exposes holders to rapid downside when momentum fades. Much of Solana's recent correction can be attributed to the cooling of speculative activity, especially as memecoin trading—one of the major catalysts for its rise—has slowed dramatically.

For holders, the question now becomes: Is this just part of a typical high beta correction, or a sign of deeper fundamental issues? Understanding Solana's position as a high-risk, high-reward asset is key when evaluating the road ahead.
Trending: It&#8217;s no wonder Jeff Bezos holds over $250 million in art — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">this alternative asset has outpaced the S&amp;P 500 since 1995, delivering an average annual return of 11.4%. Here&#8217;s how everyday investors are getting started.</a>
Current Fundamentals: Weak Signals for Solana's Growth
Solana&#8217;s fundamentals are currently lacking, despite its fast speeds and low fees, which make it an ideal platform for DeFi applications. The network&#8217;s decentralized exchange volume has significantly dropped from a peak of $36 billion in January to just $1.5 billion per day as of Tuesday. This sharp decline highlights the fading retail-driven hype, particularly from memecoins like BONK, $Trump, and others, which once fueled much of the activity on the blockchain.
Additionally, Solana's Fully Diluted Valuation stands at $66.712 billion, while its Total Value Locked, including staked governance tokens, is only $7.79 billion. This gives a FDV/TVL ratio of approximately 8.6, which reveals a significant disconnect between the network's market valuation and its actual on-chain usage. Previously, this ratio was higher during periods of greater hype, but as the market has cooled and activity has decreased, the gap between the FDV and TVL has tightened. A lower ratio is generally preferred, as it signals a more sustainable market valuation relative to the assets locked within the network.

A Bright Future Ahead?
Despite these challenges, Solana still has significant potential. Its fast transaction speeds and low fees make it an ideal platform for scalable DeFi applications, and its infrastructure remains strong. However, the lack of sustained, organic use outside of speculative events like memecoins has kept the network from realizing its true value.
For Solana to truly take off, it needs to attract more consistent use cases within the DeFi space and beyond. If metrics such as DEX volume and on-chain activity improve, Solana could regain momentum. But for now, its weak fundamentals are reflected in the current price drop, showing that without strong, ongoing usage, its market performance will remain volatile.

Solana Is Down Over 60%—What Solana Holders Need to Know Now

Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co., urged the younger generation to stop focusing on the negative aspects of the current state of the U.S. and instead look forward to a promising future.
What Happened: Speaking to Fox Business, Dimon expressed optimism about the future of the younger generation.
Dimon refuted the idea that&nbsp;the next generation is in&nbsp;a dire situation. During the <a href="https://www.foxbusiness.com/video/6371264419112">interaction</a>, he highlighted the massive total net worth of US households, which is anticipated to be inherited by younger generations, and the technological advancements that&nbsp;he believes will allow Gen&nbsp;Z and Gen Alpha to&nbsp;lead long and prosperous lives.
&#8220;People say the next generation is in bad shape – Really? They're going to inherit a country that's worth $200-$300 trillion. They're probably going to live to 120. [Artificial intelligence] is going to cure some cancers,&#8221; Dimon said.
The Federal Reserve reported last month that the net worth of households had risen to $169 trillion. By 2045, over half of this amount,&nbsp;$84.4 trillion, is projected to&nbsp;be passed down&nbsp;to heirs, marking a significant&nbsp;multigenerational wealth transfer, according to&nbsp;experts at&nbsp;financial services firm Cerulli Associates.

Dimon also stressed the importance of maintaining physical and mental health as part of the younger generation&#8217;s&nbsp;preparations for a successful future.&nbsp;He underscored the significance of treating people with fairness, honesty, and respect.
"If you don't take care of your mind, your body, your spirit, your soul, your friends, your family — you're not going to have a great life and enjoy it. Have a little heart and humanity, treat people properly. The way I grew up, the way you treat everyone is fair and honest and forthright and you'll have a great life," he added. 
Why It Matters: Dimon&#8217;s comments come at a time when the younger generation is grappling with numerous challenges, including economic uncertainty, climate change, and social inequality. 
His optimistic outlook is a call to action for the younger generation to leverage the opportunities that lie ahead, such as the anticipated wealth transfer and technological advancements. 
Furthermore, his emphasis on health and respect underscores the importance of personal well-being and social values in shaping a prosperous future.

JPMorgan Chase's Jamie Dimon Says Younger Generation Will Thrive if One Major Risk Is Avoided

Bitcoin has become more than just a speculative asset; it is now evolving into a functional monetary tool, especially in economies seeking to bypass the U.S. dollar and reduce exposure to U.S.-led financial systems. Head of Digital Assets Research Matthew Sigel said in <a href="https://www.vaneck.com/us/en/blogs/investment-outlook/our-portfolio-managers-weigh-impact-of-trumps-tariffs/">VanEck&#8217;s report released on April 8</a>, &#8220;China and Russia have reportedly begun settling some energy transactions in Bitcoin and other digital assets,&#8221; a significant step that further drives the narrative of de-dollarization.

The global financial landscape has been changing rapidly, with the Trump administration's April 2 tariff package reigniting trade tensions. The tariffs, targeting imports from China and the European Union, have heightened risks of monetary and geopolitical fragmentation. VanEck notes that this policy shift "might be bullish for Bitcoin" as it could prompt the Federal Reserve to cut rates. The report explains that if tariffs affect GDP without causing a fresh inflation spike, it may "reintroduce the liquidity conditions under which Bitcoin has historically excelled." This sets the stage for Bitcoin to benefit from an environment where liquidity is more favorable and interest in digital assets continues to rise.
In recent developments, China and Russia&#8217;s decision to settle energy trades using Bitcoin signals a shift towards crypto adoption on the global stage. VanEck's report emphasizes that this is no longer a theoretical concept but a tangible reality: "Bolivia has announced plans to import electricity using crypto. And French energy utility EDF is exploring whether it can mine Bitcoin with surplus electricity currently exported to Germany." These examples are indicative of a broader shift as nations begin using Bitcoin not just as a store of value but also as a tool to circumvent the dollar-based financial system.
Trending: Hasbro, MGM, and Skechers trust this AI marketing firm — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/rad-intel">invest pre-IPO from $0.55 per share now</a>.
The weaponization of trade and financial infrastructure, largely led by the U.S., has fueled this movement. Countries increasingly seek neutral settlement systems that avoid dependency on the dollar. VanEck highlights that Bitcoin's growing adoption by nations like China and Russia "could accelerate adoption of crypto as an alternative settlement layer," marking a crucial shift in global trade dynamics.
Despite recent fluctuations in the market, Bitcoin has outperformed major indices like the Nasdaq across various timeframes. While slower growth alone may not be a bullish signal for Bitcoin, the potential policy response to trade tensions could create an environment where Bitcoin thrives. In particular, any dovish shifts in Fed policy—such as rate cuts and rising liquidity—could benefit Bitcoin, especially in an era of geopolitical fragmentation.

Looking ahead, VanEck recommends keeping an eye on the U.S. Dollar Index and sustained dollar weakness, as this could further strengthen the "Bitcoin-as-hedge" narrative. The report also points to Bitcoin's decoupling from traditional macro sensitivities, noting that "rising yields did not trigger a wave of forced liquidations or volatility in crypto markets," suggesting that Bitcoin may no longer react the same way to shifts in traditional financial markets as it did in the past.
As the world shifts towards digital assets and away from reliance on traditional financial systems, Bitcoin's role in the global economy is becoming increasingly clear. Whether it's energy trades in Bitcoin or countries looking for alternatives to the dollar, the future of Bitcoin is intertwined with the global push for de-dollarization.

VanEck Confirms China and Russia Settling Energy Trades in Bitcoin — A Major Step in De-Dollarization

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) is reportedly gearing up to introduce two new Vision Pro headsets and revamp its iPadOS. This comes amidst a major reshuffling in the company&#8217;s leadership and challenges related to the commercial success of the Vision Pro.
Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, in his <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/newsletters/2025-04-13/apple-vision-pro-2-details-low-latency-headset-ar-glasses-ipados-19-details-m9flf1fd?srnd=undefined&amp;sref=TBDibEcD">latest</a> weekly "Power On&#8221; column, revealed that Apple has been witnessing significant internal shifts. The company recently reassigned the leadership of Siri from AI chief John Giannandrea to Mike Rockwell, who previously led the Vision Products Group (VPG).
This resulted in the dissolution of VPG, with its components being reabsorbed across the company. Rockwell now reports to Craig Federighi, the head of all software engineering, while maintaining his previous responsibility over software engineering for the Vision Pro.
The first Vision Pro device, a $3,500 headset, despite its technological prowess, has not achieved commercial success. This, along&nbsp;with recent product cancellations and&nbsp;engineering issues, has raised concerns among employees about potential layoffs. The company is now reassessing its approach to the Vision Pro, contemplating whether to launch a new model or modify the product to attract more consumers.

Despite competition from cost-effective alternatives like those offered by&nbsp;Meta Platforms Inc., Apple is forging ahead with the development of two new Vision Pro models. One model aims to address the current model&#8217;s weight and cost issues, while the other is expected to connect to a Mac, offering&nbsp;an ultra-low-latency system for streaming&nbsp;a user&#8217;s Mac display or&nbsp;connecting to high-end enterprise applications.
Apple is also planning a major overhaul of iPadOS&nbsp;to make the tablet more&nbsp;like a Mac, focusing on productivity, multitasking, and app window management. This move is in response to user feedback that&nbsp;the hardware capabilities of the&nbsp;iPad far outstrip its software.
According to Gurman, the leadership reshuffle and the planned launch of new Vision Pro models indicate Apple&#8217;s commitment to overcoming the commercial challenges faced by the Vision Pro. 
The company&#8217;s decision to revamp iPadOS also reflects its responsiveness to user feedback and its dedication to enhancing user experience. These developments could potentially shape the future of Apple&#8217;s product line and its position in the competitive tech market.

Apple Revamps Leadership, Preps New Vision Pro Headsets Amid Commercial Hurdles

Jeff Bezos, during his time at Amazon, reportedly had an unconventional method of interviewing prospective employees, always posing them one unusual question: &#8220;Are you a lucky person?&#8221;
What Happened: As per the report, a former&nbsp;Amazon executive Dan Rose has disclosed that Bezos, the founder of the company, consistently inquired job applicants about their luck. This question, while seemingly unrelated to business skills, was in fact a strategic move to evaluate key attributes in potential employees.
Observers and psychologists suggest that Bezos&#8217; question was an ingenious way to measure humility, initiative, and optimism. Known for valuing humility, Bezos also questioned candidates about their past mistakes, seeing the capability to recognize and learn from errors as an indicator of intelligence.
Patrick Mayr, a venture investor, supported Bezos&#8217; method, stating that acknowledging&nbsp;luck is a sign of&nbsp;modesty. It demonstrates an understanding that success is not only due to hard work and intelligence, but also being at the right place at the right time.

According to the report <a href="https://www.inc.com/jessica-stillman/jeff-bezos-favorite-job-interview-question-is-weird-psychology-says-its-also-brilliant/91171188">by </a>Inc., the question also served to identify individuals with initiative. Research has indicated that those who consider themselves lucky are more observant and alert to opportunities, traits that Bezos would find appealing in an employee.
Finally, the question was a measure of optimism. Those who consider themselves lucky are likely to&nbsp;expect good fortune in the&nbsp;future, a mindset that psychology suggests can lead to better business outcomes.

Despite its peculiarity, Bezos&#8217; favorite interview question seems to be an effective way to identify potential hires with humility, initiative, and optimism.
Why It Matters: This revelation sheds light on the unique hiring practices at Amazon under Bezos&#8217; leadership. The question, while unconventional, is a testament to Bezos&#8217; innovative approach to building a successful team. 
It underscores the importance of humility, initiative, and optimism in the workplace, traits that have arguably contributed to Amazon&#8217;s monumental success. 
This insight into Bezos&#8217; hiring methodology may serve as a valuable lesson for other companies aiming to build a successful and dynamic workforce.

Decoding Jeff Bezos' Unique Amazon Interview Question: A Key To Hiring Success?

Investing money into dividend stocks can result in steady cash flow. Gradually putting money into these investments will increase your dividend income over time, but some people receive a windfall of cash that they can deploy right away.
One Redditor finds themselves in that position. The individual is set to have $10,000 sometime next week and has been following the Dividends subreddit for a while. Now, after consuming content from the group for a while, the Redditor is <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/dividends/comments/1juckoh/10k_invest/">looking for advice</a>.
"I'm looking for a decent yield and a little growth," the Redditor explained when asking for recommendations.&nbsp;
Don't Miss:
<ul>
<li>Deloitte's fastest-growing software company partners with Amazon, Walmart &amp; Target – <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mode-mobile-2">Many are rushing to grab 4,000 of its pre-IPO shares for just $0.26/share!</a></li>

</ul>
In addition to the immediate $10,000 investment, the Redditor aims to invest $250 each month. Other Redditors shared their thoughts in the comments.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Stagger The $10,000 Investment&nbsp;</h2>
One commenter suggested staggering the $10,000 investment instead of putting it all into the market at once. This approach can help the Redditor capitalize on any price dips instead of unloading all of their capital and watching their assets lose value.
Many investors on Reddit seem to be jittery about the recent trade war. The popular consensus on Reddit is that the market will continue to tank, and that fear showed up again in the comments.
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>
An investor who wants to dollar cost average as the market goes down may want to consider breaking the $10,000 investment into several investments. The amount of times you break down the $10,000 should depend on your risk tolerance, your thoughts about current prices, and what you think the stock market will look like in five to 10 years.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Accumulate ETFs That Align With Your Financial Goals</h2>
The original poster mentioned some ETFs and received comments that suggested some ETFs as well. The Schwab US Dividend Equity ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SCHD#NYSE">SCHD</a>) was the first ETF the original poster mentioned. It's no surprise to see SCHD mentioned in the Dividends subreddit since it seems to be a fan favorite.
The SPDR S&amp;P 500 Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>), JPMorgan Nasdaq Equity Premium Income ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JEPQ#NASDAQ">JEPQ</a>), and the JPMorgan Equity Premium Income ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JEPI#NYSE">JEPI</a>) were some of the other ETFs that were mentioned in the post and the comments.&nbsp;
See Also: If there was a new fund backed by Jeff Bezos offering a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/arrived-private-credit-fund">7-9% target yield with monthly dividends would you invest in it</a>?
However, these recommendations don't mean much since we don't know much about the Redditor. One of the top commenters pointed this out.
‘What to invest in depends a lot on your personal situation. You didn't provide any details about age, income, investment objectives (other than decent yield and a little growth, which is a relative idea), risk tolerance, jurisdiction, investment currency, etc., so it's hard for any meaningful advice to be given."
The best stocks and ETFs for one person may be different from the best assets for another person. Some people pursue high-yield stocks as they get closer to retirement, while others buy growth stocks when they are younger to maximize their potential returns. Personal details like risk tolerance and income play a role in which stocks and ETFs make sense for you.

An Individual Is Ready To Invest $10,000 And Turns To Reddit For Advice: 'I'm Looking For A Decent Yield And A Little Growth'

Investment maestro Peter Lynch once shed light on the distinguishing traits that set successful investors <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/01/42935107/peter-lynchs-money-making-advice-when-things-go-from-terrible-to-semi-terrible-to-ok-you-can-make-a-lot-of-money">apart from the average ones</a>.
What Happened: Lynch underscores the significance of patience, courage, and discipline, asserting that these qualities hold more weight than mere intelligence. 
Lynch, in his book Learn to Earn, advocates for a twenty-year investment horizon as the ideal timeframe for stock market success. This span provides sufficient time to bounce back from market slumps and amass profits.
Historically, stocks have yielded an 11% annual return, turning a $10,000 investment into a whopping $80,623 over a span of two decades. To attain this, investors need to demonstrate an unwavering dedication to stocks, likening the relationship to&nbsp;a marriage. Patience, courage, and&nbsp;discipline—rather than just intelligence—are the cornerstones of successful investing.
Lynch counsels investors to turn a deaf ear to short-term market fluctuations and stay invested in robust companies with solid earnings, even during market downturns. While many proclaim to be long-term investors,&nbsp;their true commitment is put to the test during market slumps, underlining the need for resilience and consistency.

&#8220;You can be a genius&nbsp;at analyzing which companies to&nbsp;buy, but unless you have&nbsp;the patience and the courage&nbsp;to hold on to the&nbsp;shares, you're an odds-on favorite&nbsp;to become a mediocre investor,&#8221; Lynch states in his book. 
&#8220;It's not always brainpower that separates good investors from bad; often, it's discipline. Stick with your stocks no matter what, ignore all the smart advice that tells you to do otherwise, and act like a dumb mule," he said.
He stresses that discipline is often the dividing line between good and bad investors, and not just intellect.
Why It Matters: Lynch&#8217;s insights serve as a timely reminder for investors, especially in the current volatile market conditions. His emphasis on patience, courage, and discipline over intelligence underscores the importance of emotional intelligence in investment decisions. 
His advice to ignore short-term market noise and focus on companies with strong earnings resonates with the principles of value investing, a strategy that has proven successful over time. 
His words serve as a guide for investors navigating the complex world of investing, highlighting the importance of long-term commitment and resilience in achieving investment success.
