Novo Nordisk, Super Micro Computer And Arm Are Among Top Large Cap Losers Last Week (December 16-20): Are The Others In Your Portfolio?

It's that time of year again. Holiday tunes on the radio, twinkling lights everywhere and a hefty dose of pressure to deliver the "perfect" Christmas. But what happens when you're juggling debt, young kids and the harsh reality that you're barely making ends meet? That's where Joshua found himself when he called into The Ramsey Show.&nbsp;
In a video posted in December titled, "Buy My Kids Christmas Gifts or Pay Off Debt?", <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/12/42488891/dave-ramsey-scolds-broke-61-year-old-with-no-money-who-splurged-on-a-26000-tractor-quit-blaming-dumb-stuff-on-being-a-country-girl">Dave Ramsey</a> and his co-host daughter, Rachel Cruze, didn't hold back.
At just 24 years old, Joshua – a medically retired military veteran – shared a tough predicament. "We ran into some financial hardship … and with Christmas coming up, I have three young children. I'm wondering, should I sacrifice their happiness Christmas morning to continue to pay off this debt?"
Don't Miss:
<ul>
<li>Can you guess how many Americans successfully retire with $1,000,000 saved?<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/1milsaved"> The percentage may shock you</a>.</li>
<li>The average American couple has saved this much money for retirement —<a href="http://www.benzinga.com/money/smartasset"> How do you compare</a>?</li>
</ul>
On paper, Joshua's situation looks tight. With $1,800 in credit card debt and $4,000 in collections, plus a family of five to support, his question wasn't unreasonable. But Dave Ramsey and co-host Rachel Cruze didn't sugarcoat their advice.
"Absolutely, you need a job," Dave said point-blank. Joshua, currently in school full-time, explained he was studying business administration with a focus on project management. His plan was to complete his degree without working for the next four years. Meanwhile, his wife stays home with their three young kids, including a newborn.
That plan didn't fly with Dave. "I worked 40 to 60 hours a week while I was going to school," he reminded Joshua. The bottom line? While education is important, it can't come at the expense of providing for your family.

Joshua mentioned he's earning around $6,000 a month from his military pension, but as Dave pointed out, "You can save up the money for Christmas by working during this month." The advice? Start driving for Uber, delivering with Grubhub or picking up any available gig.
Rachel chimed in with a mom's perspective, reassuring Joshua – and every parent out there – that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/12/42317960/warren-buffett-used-to-gift-loved-ones-10000-cash-for-christmas-but-switched-to-stocks-with-a-note-cash-them-in-or-hold-onto-them">Christmas doesn't have to be expensive</a> to be meaningful. "Kids are so low maintenance," she said. "Go so cheap … they just want the experience of opening gifts."
She also shared a personal anecdote: "We spent all this stinking money on Christmas and Uncle Mac went to the dollar store, spent 20 bucks and was the biggest hit. All kids care about is opening something!"
Dave added with his usual wit, "The newborn doesn't even know it's Christmas. Feed them, change their diaper and they're a happy puppy."
Trending: Many are using retirement income calculators to check if they&#8217;re on pace —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-do-i-calculate-my-retirement-income-adv"> here&#8217;s a breakdown on what&#8217;s behind this formula.</a>
Beyond Christmas, the real focus was on Joshua's long-term plan. "You only need $5,800 to be debt-free," Dave emphasized. "You could have that by March." He urged Joshua to keep working after the holidays, balancing his job with his online classes to dig out of debt and set his family up for financial success.
And for parents everywhere, Rachel left a crucial reminder: "Your kids want you. The stuff doesn't matter. Create experiences, not expenses."
Joshua's story is a wake-up call for anyone feeling the pressure of the holiday. Christmas doesn't have to come with a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/12/42392068/elon-musks-ex-wife-says-he-forgot-to-buy-her-a-christmas-gift-but-when-he-realized-he-walked-barefoot-in-a-snowstorm-to-find-flowers">price tag you can't afford.</a> Whether delivering pizzas or picking up extra shifts, there's always a way to make it work without sacrificing your financial health. And remember, your kids will cherish the memories you create far more than the stuff you buy.
So this year, keep it simple. Ride bikes, bake cookies or hit the dollar store for a garbage bag full of joy. Your wallet – and your kids – will thank you.

'Buy My Kids Christmas Gifts Or Pay Off Debt?' – Young Dad Of 3 Asks Dave Ramsey If He Should 'Sacrifice Their Happiness' Christmas Morning?

Mark Cuban, the serial entrepreneur and investor best known for his role on &#8220;Shark Tank,&#8221; had a surprisingly simple goal when he became a millionaire: avoid <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/12/42380812/mark-cuban-shares-the-one-thing-he-splurged-on-after-striking-it-rich-im-not-a-big-spender">spending all his money at once</a>.
What Happened: After selling his software company, MicroSolutions, for $6 million in 1990 and pocketing about $2 million after taxes, Cuban adopted a conservative investment approach to preserve his newfound wealth.
"I want you to invest for me like a 60-year-old. I don't want you to invest like I'm young, because I want to live off this for a long time," Cuban recalled telling his broker at the time and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oEK2063FPLw">shared</a> this in a recent interview.
This strategy, along with his frugal lifestyle, allowed him to safeguard his wealth while still enjoying occasional splurges.
Cuban's modest upbringing as the son of an automobile upholsterer near Pittsburgh shaped his cautious approach to money. 
Even after becoming a millionaire, he lived below his means, buying "the worst house in the best neighborhood" and steering clear of flashy cars. 
"By the time I sold MicroSolutions, I had just bought the worst house in the best neighborhood, but I wasn't big into that. I wasn't big into cars. I wanted to live like a student and just have fun," Cuban said. 
However, one notable indulgence was a $125,000 lifetime pass with American Airlines, which he used to "party like a rock star" across cities with his friends.

His financial perspective shifted dramatically in 1999 when he sold his second company, Broadcast.com, for $5.7 billion. The windfall gave Cuban the freedom to take more significant risks, a mindset he has carried into his investing career. 
Cuban has said that smart risks are essential to building wealth, reflecting his evolution from a cautious millionaire to a bold billionaire.
Today, Cuban focuses on his family and running Cost Plus Drugs, his pharmaceutical startup aimed at lowering prescription drug costs. While his days of lavish partying are behind him, he remains dedicated to making a positive impact. "I think less about making money and more about direction and&#8230;benefit[ing] as many Americans as I can," Cuban said during the interview.

Elon Musk wasn't always the polarizing figure we see today in climate discussions. Once <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38131745/cathie-wood-hails-elon-musks-visionary-impact-hes-transforming-the-world-saving-humanity-from-itself">celebrated</a> as a green-tech pioneer, Musk was vocal about the urgent need to combat climate change. In 2006, he described Tesla's mission as a way to "help expedite the move from a mine-and-burn hydrocarbon economy toward a solar electric economy." In 2015, he warned of the devastating consequences of delaying this transition. &#8220;The worst case,&#8221; he said, &#8220;is more displacement and destruction than all the wars in history combined.&#8221;
At the time, Musk painted a grim picture of the future if humanity failed to act. He specifically talked about the dangers of rising sea levels, warning that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/06/39420775/coastal-home-values-plunge-as-rising-seas-erode-market-confidence">oceanfront property</a> would become &#8220;a lot less valuable&#8221; as floods destroyed homes and businesses.&nbsp;

In his first appearance on the Joe Rogan Podcast in 2018, Musk <a href="https://www.youtube.com/live/ycPr5-27vSI?si=uZaTXr2yTpuqmwVD&amp;t=5041">stressed</a> how strong the scientific agreement on climate change is, saying, &#8220;The scientific consensus is overwhelming. I mean, I don&#8217;t know any serious scientists – zero, literally zero – who don&#8217;t think that we have quite a serious climate risk that we&#8217;re facing.&#8221;&nbsp;

Insurance giant Swiss RE warned in 2021 that climate change could cut the world economy by $23 trillion in 2050, equivalent to 14 percent of global economic output.
Fast forward to today and Musk's rhetoric on climate change has undergone a dramatic shift. In an August conversation with Donald Trump on X, Musk downplayed the urgency of transitioning away from fossil fuels, suggesting the world has "plenty of time" to act.&nbsp;

He even described the risk of climate change as &#8220;not as high as a lot of people say it is,&#8221; framing the issue in terms of discomfort from high CO2 levels instead of catastrophic dangers scientists have long warned about. This change in attitude has left people wondering why Musk, who once called for urgent action, now seems so dismissive.
Musk's pivot has not gone unnoticed. Critics point to his embrace of right-wing politicians and climate denialism as a key factor. On X (formerly Twitter), a platform he owns, climate scientists have been leaving in droves, citing a surge in misinformation about global warming. Musk's partner in DOGE, the prospective agency <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/politics/24/11/41962372/trumps-doge-with-musk-at-the-helm-riddled-with-conflicts-of-interest-says-clinton-era-official-robert-reich">tasked with cutting government costs</a>, Vivek Ramaswamy, previously called climate change a &#8220;hoax.&#8221;
Musk&#8217;s behavior presents a conflicting image. On the one hand, Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) has revolutionized the electric vehicle market and Musk&#8217;s endeavors, such as the $100 million <a href="https://www.xprize.org/prizes/carbonremoval">Xprize</a> for carbon removal, demonstrate his dedication to creative solutions. However, his personal carbon footprint undermined his message, as his private jet logged a whopping 441 flights in 2023, emitting 5,159 tonnes of CO2, according to JetSpy.
Trending: Commercial real estate has historically outperformed the stock market, and<a href="https://equitymultiple.com/benzinga?invite=benzinga&amp;utm_campaign=product-promotion-earn&amp;utm_source=yahooFinance&amp;utm_medium=affiliate&amp;utm_content=stockmarket-yahoo"> this platform allows individuals to invest in commercial real estate with as little as $5,000 offering a 12% target yield with a bonus 1% return boost today!</a>
Then there's his claim that CO2 levels would only become a problem at 1,000 parts per million (ppm), much higher than today's <a href="https://climate.nasa.gov/vital-signs/carbon-dioxide/">420 ppm</a>. Scientists quickly debunked this, explaining that society would collapse long before CO2 reached those levels, as extreme weather, rising sea levels and food shortages would create chaos. Musk's mix-up of indoor air quality standards with outdoor atmospheric CO2 measurements shows a serious misunderstanding of basic science.
This evolution – or perhaps devolution – has left many wondering: What changed? Some suggest Musk's interests now lie more in maintaining relationships in conservative circles than in driving climate advocacy. For example, President-elect Donald Trump said climate change is not "the biggest threat" and claimed it would create "more oceanfront property." Others speculate that his sprawling business empire and the demands of his ventures have pulled him away from his once-clear mission.

Before His 180 On Climate Change, Elon Musk Advocated For Action, Cautioning That Oceanfront Real Estate Values Would Plummet

A Reddit user's late-night post has people thinking twice about their financial choices. The poster, who's been at the same job for a decade, shared a raw and relatable confession:
"I wish I had spent the past 10 years investing in BTC instead of 401(k). Pretty much the title. I just got off work, from a job I've grown to hate over the past year or two."
They went on to explain their situation. While their job pays well and comes with perks, it's physically taking a toll. Facing an uncertain future – possibly heading into short-term disability – they had a sobering realization:
Don't Miss:
<ul>
<li>The number of ‘401(k)' Millionaires is up 43% from last year —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/401k-millionaires"> Here are three ways to join the club.</a></li>
<li>The #1 crypto trading app in America is hosting a ‘$50 in free bitcoin' offer to new sign ups (Seriously!) — <a href="http://coinbase-consumer.sjv.io/m5ALXy">Here's everything you need to know to take advantage of this offer.</a></li>
</ul>
"I would be retiring this year if I had invested $1 for $1 into BTC vs. my 401(k)."
For context, let's break down the math. In December 2014, Bitcoin was trading at just over $320. Fast-forward to today and Bitcoin's value has skyrocketed, hovering around $100,000. That's an increase of over 31,200%.
On the other hand, the average 401(k) grows at a steady rate of about 5-8% annually, which is solid but nowhere near the explosive gains of Bitcoin during the past decade. To make things even more tempting, $1,000 invested in Bitcoin in 2014 would now be worth over $312,000. A $10,000 investment would now be worth $3,125,000.&nbsp;
One commenter on the Reddit thread put it perfectly: "This post in 10 years and Bitcoin is $10 million; everyone will be saying, ‘I wish I put more in when it was under 100k. History repeats.'" Another chimed in with a more conservative guess, saying, "Surely it's gonna be more like 1mil, not 10mil."
See Also: Can you guess how many Americans successfully retire with $1,000,000 saved?<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/1milsaved"> The percentage may shock you</a>.
Of course, hindsight is 20/20. Bitcoin's success story is impressive but it <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/12/42510681/mark-cuban-says-hed-take-bananas-over-bitcoin-because-he-could-eat-the-bananas-calls-crypto-so-complicated-for-99-of-people">hasn't been a smooth ride</a>. Its price has swung wildly, leaving many investors holding their breath during crashes.
One commenter in the Reddit thread dropped an important reminder: "Unless you had a few thousand Bitcoin, you'd have probably lost your hard drive, had your account stolen or lost it to investment sites like FTX. Or maybe you sold it at the peak of $2,000 or invested in a bad coin."
Still, this Reddit post taps into a broader sentiment: the tension between <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/24/03/37513063/warren-buffett-says-he-wouldnt-pay-25-for-all-the-bitcoin-in-the-world-he-considers-crypto-rat-poiso">traditional, "safe" investing</a> and the allure of taking risks that might pay off in life-changing ways.
As the original post gained traction, it resonated with many people. Maybe it's because it's not just about money – it's about the dreams and regrets we all wrestle with when thinking about our futures.
Trending: It&#8217;s no wonder Jeff Bezos holds over $70 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>
While it's easy to get caught up in the "should have" and "I wish" mindset, what matters is what you do next.
If this post hit a nerve, consider how you can make smarter financial moves now. Diversify your investments, start small and focus on consistency over time. Above all, only invest what you can afford to lose – whether in stocks, crypto or any other asset.
Most importantly, before making major financial decisions, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">consult a financial advisor</a>. They can help you balance your goals, risk tolerance and current resources to create a plan that works for you. After all, the best investment strategy isn't about chasing the past – it's about building a future you can feel confident in.

Instagram Concerned About Challenge In Distinguishing Real And AI-Generated Images, Apple To Launch Foldable iPhone By 2026 & More: Consumer Tech News (December 16-20)

Bill Ackman once sought insights from Berkshire Hathaway's chairman Warren Buffett about the investment appeal of the Salomon Brothers.
What Happened: At the 1994 Berkshire Hathaway annual meeting, Ackman, then a young hedge fund manager, raised a critical question about Salomon Brothers.
He directed his question to Buffett, asking, "What is the appeal of the business to you, given its leverage of 30-to-1 and relatively modest returns on equity?"
Buffett responded thoughtfully, acknowledging the high leverage involved but underscoring the importance of leadership in managing such risks.
The Oracle of Omaha praised the efforts of Salomon&#8217;s leaders, including Deryck Maughan, Bob Denham, and John McFarlane, who navigated the company through challenging times without prior discussions on compensation or guarantees.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42545936/samsung-galaxy-s25-ultra-and-s25-leaks-show-off-sleek-curved-design-and-slimmer-bezels-than-apples-iphone-16-pro-max?itm_source=parsely-api">Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra And S25+ Leaks Feature Sleek Curved Design And Slimmer Bezels Than Apple&#8217;s iPhone 16 Pro Max</a>
&#8220;The test will be whether they control the business in a way that leverage doesn't prove dangerous,&#8221; Buffett stated, noting that businesses using significant leverage should expect higher returns on equity, given the inherent risk, but that successful management of that risk was paramount.

Why It Matters: Salomon Brothers, founded in 1910, was a major player on Wall Street, renowned for its fixed-income trading.
In 1987, the bond trading firm revealed a $70 million loss from debt related to its junk bond trading activities. This set off a chain of events that contributed to the 1987 market crash, although other factors also played a role in the market&#8217;s downturn.
Salomon traders were caught submitting fraudulent bids for Treasury bonds in violation of trading regulations.
Just before the scandal, Buffett had invested $700 million in Salomon Brothers. The controversy resulted in a loss of one-third of his investment.
To restore order during the turmoil, Buffett took control of the company for nine months, methodically removing those involved in the scandal.
By the time the firm was stabilized, it had been sold to&nbsp;Travelers Companies Inc.&nbsp;Buffett had&nbsp;walked away with a substantial profit, as his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/16/09/8483241/warren-buffett-weathered-the-salomon-brothers-scandal-whats-that-mean-for-wells-f">investment had more than doubled</a>.
Travelers Group merged Salomon Brothers with Smith Barney, creating Salomon Smith Barney, which later became part of Citigroup following the 1998 merger between Travelers and Citicorp.
Over time, Citigroup integrated and eventually dismantled the Salomon Smith Barney brand. By the mid-2000s, Salomon Brothers ceased to exist as a standalone entity.

Bill Ackman Once Asked A $700 Million Question To Warren Buffett On Leverage. The Oracle Of Omaha's Response Shows Where He Places Trust When He Invests In A Company

On Friday, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved Eli Lilly and Co.&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLY#NYSE">LLY</a>) weight loss drug Zepbound for treating sleep apnea
What Happened: The FDA&#8217;s decision makes Zepbound the first approved drug treatment for patients with obesity and moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea, or OSA.
&#8220;Too often, OSA is brushed off as &#8216;just snoring,'&#8221; said Julie Flygare, CEO of Project Sleep, in Eli Lilly&#8217;s press release. The condition affects an estimated 80 million Americans, with 20 million experiencing moderate-to-severe forms.

In a separate release, the FDA underscored that Zepbound should be used in conjunction with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity for optimal results.
The approval could significantly impact insurance coverage for Zepbound, potentially including Medicare, which currently restricts coverage for obesity drugs unless approved for additional health benefits, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/12/20/fda-approves-eli-lillys-weight-loss-drug-zepbound-for-sleep-apnea.html">noted</a> CNBC.
This development also gives Eli Lilly an edge over competitor Novo Nordisk (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVO#NYSE">NVO</a>), whose Wegovy isn&#8217;t approved for sleep apnea treatment.
Why It Matters: Zepbound's effectiveness was demonstrated in clinical trials. Results showed that nearly half of patients treated with the highest dose experienced disease resolution, the report noted.
This was defined by a significant reduction in their apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), a key metric in diagnosing OSA.
The approval also comes as Eli Lilly continues to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42370795/investments-in-eli-lillys-production-capabilities-reaches-23-billion-with-additional-3-billion-expansion-at-us-facility">expand its manufacturing capabilities</a>, including a $3 billion investment in Kenosha County, Wisconsin in December, to meet the growing demand for its diabetes and obesity medicines.
In October, Eli Lilly reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/10/41622207/eli-lilly-q3-earnings-mounjaro-sales-more-than-double-takes-2-98-billion-hit-to-profit-cuts-annua">third-quarter revenue</a> of $11.44 billion, a 20% increase year-over-year, but missed expectations of $12.10 billion. Zepbound generated $1.26 billion.
Price Action: As per <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw">Benzinga Pro</a>, LLY shares increased by 1.35% to $767.76 on Friday. So far this year, LLY has risen by 29.65%.
The latest ratings from B of A Securities, Wolfe Research, and Deutsche Bank set an average price target of $1,004, indicating a potential upside of 30.77%.

Eli Lilly's Zepbound Receives FDA Approval For Obesity-Linked Sleep Apnea Drug

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk has been accused by Rosa DeLauro of pressuring Republicans to abandon key U.S.-China investment restrictions to safeguard the EV giant's business interests in China.
What Happened: In a letter on Friday, DeLauro, the top Democrat on the House Appropriations Committee, stated that Musk used his influence to have Republicans scrap provisions aimed at regulating U.S. investments in China, reported Reuters.
She pointed to Musk's "extensive investments in China in key sectors" and alleged ties to Chinese Communist Party or CCP leadership.
The controversy centers on Tesla's Shanghai gigafactory, which produces about 50% of Tesla's global automobile output.

DeLauro argued that Musk's actions jeopardized critical legislation to safeguard U.S. supply chains and national security, accusing him of &#8221; bullying Republicans into going back on their words."
Musk, in turn, criticized DeLauro on X, formerly Twitter, calling for her expulsion from Congress.

Why It Matters: Tesla has seen robust sales in China, bolstered by strong demand for its Model Y and Model 3 vehicles. In November, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/12/42438591/teslas-china-sales-recover-model-y-accounts-for-over-60-of-november-sales">Tesla's retail sales in China</a> reached 73,490 units, showing a significant recovery from earlier challenges in 2024.
The EV giant also faces stiff competition from local players like BYD Co., which leads the market, but Tesla's steady increase in weekly insurance registrations—21,900 units in early December—<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/12/42284511/tesla-china-sees-robust-demand-in-q4-with-registrations-up-14-2-yoy-so-far-expert-says-ev-giant-on-track-for-best-quarter-ever">signals growing momentum</a>.
Tesla reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41501607/tesla-q3-earnings-highlights-eps-beat-revenue-miss-shares-climb-on-2025-timeline-for-lower-cost-evs">third-quarter revenue</a> of $25.18 billion marking an 8% year-over-year growth. While the company missed Wall Street estimates, automotive revenue reached $20 billion, up 2% year-over-year.
DeLauro's accusations highlight broader concerns about the risks of U.S. investments in Chinese technology sectors. October rules finalized by the Treasury Department aim to limit such investments in critical areas like artificial intelligence to protect national security.
However, the removal of provisions for outbound investment screening could leave gaps in safeguarding U.S. interests.
Price Action: Tesla&#8217;s stock declined by 3.46% on Friday, ending the session at $421.06. Despite this drop, the company's shares have surged 69.5% since the start of the year, significantly outpacing the Nasdaq 100 index, which has gained 28.68% over the same period, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.
The latest ratings from Baird, Mizuho, and Goldman Sachs have established an average price target of $446.67, suggesting an upside potential of 5.53%.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Encino</h2>
In 2020, Gomez purchased a Southern California property once owned by fellow musician Tom Petty for $4.9 million.
The 9,000-square-foot Encino estate, custom-built in 1989, boasts unique features that likely appealed to Gomez. However, Petty moved out after his divorce in 1996. Traces of his legacy remain, including a recording studio and sunken performance space – perfect touches for a singer like Gomez.
The five-bedroom mansion offers soaring ceilings and a gourmet kitchen, while its lower level includes a wine cellar, gym, massage room, creative workspace, additional kitchen, vocal booth, den and a guest suite.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Woodland Hills</h2>
Another potential home for the newly engaged couple is a charming property Gomez purchased in 2017 for $1.8 million.
Built in 1949, the private, gated estate sits on half an acre and spans 3,500 square feet, featuring four bedrooms and four bathrooms. The home boasts hardwood floors, a wood-burning fireplace in the living room and abundant natural light.
The modern kitchen includes Wolf appliances and quartz countertops, while the family room features a home theater, wood-beamed ceilings and built-ins. The primary suite offers a spacious walk-in closet, a cozy fireplace and a spa-like bathroom with a rainfall shower and jetted tub.
The outdoor amenities are just as impressive, with a pool, fire pit and outdoor kitchen.

Blanco, a songwriter and producer known for collaborating with stars like Katy Perry, Justin Bieber and Ed Sheeran, has been trying to sell his New York City apartment. Blanco, whose real name is Benjamin Joseph Levin, purchased the three-bedroom Chelsea loft in 2011 for $3.4 million.
Initially listed for nearly $4 million in May, the property has seen a price reduction to $3.75 million after failing to attract buyers. The fully renovated condo is in a coveted corner location and has 11-foot ceilings and southeast-facing windows that flood the space with light.
The compact kitchen with a breakfast bar opens seamlessly to the main living area. The building&#8217;s residents enjoy an array of amenities, including 24/7 door attendants, concierge services, a gym, a roof deck and a children's playroom.

Selena Gomez And Benny Blanco To Tie The Knot, But Which Mansion Will Be Home Sweet Home?

Regarding selling luxury cars, brands like Ferrari (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RACE#NYSE">RACE</a>), Rolls-Royce and Maserati use strategies that are as extravagant as their vehicles. These automakers know how to make their cars irresistible – and sometimes even make their customers feel like they're getting a deal when doing the company's work for them.
Take Ferrari, for instance. A prominent marketing expert, Rory Sutherland, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vcjAFJu39Ok">pointed out</a> how the brand has devised a smart way to shift delivery costs onto its customers while framing it as an exclusive experience. The company can deliver a Ferrari to your local dealership for free if you buy it. But for around £500 ($630), you can opt for a &#8220;factory tour&#8221; in Maranello, Italy, where you pick up your car and drive it home at your own cost.&nbsp;

</ul>
Customers willingly pay to collect their cars because the experience is marketed as a unique privilege. It looks like a brilliant psychological play that makes customers feel special while cutting Ferrari's costs.
Meanwhile, according to Sutherland, Rolls-Royce and Maserati took a different approach to make their luxury cars seem like impulse buys. Instead of showcasing their vehicles at traditional car shows – where their high price tags stand out – they moved to yacht and private jet shows. The logic? If you've spent all day looking at multimillion-dollar yachts and jets, a $250,000 car suddenly feels like a much smaller expense – an impulse buy.

After successfully rolling out crypto payments in the U.S., the brand expanded the option to Europe in July. Partnering with BitPay, Ferrari now accepts Bitcoin, Ethereum and USD Coin for its cars, instantly converting the payments to traditional currency. According to the company&#8217;s representative, this was done in response to consumer demand and to suit the tastes of their affluent, tech-savvy audience. By the end of 2024, Ferrari plans to offer crypto payments globally where legally permitted.
Ferrari isn't stopping there. The brand is gearing up to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38984035/ferrari-aims-to-challenge-tesla-with-launch-of-electric-supercar-in-2025">launch its first electric supercar</a> in the fourth quarter of 2025.

CEO Benedetto Vigna is reinventing the sound of electric motors to preserve the classic sensory experience of driving a Ferrari. Ferrari is placing a big bet on strong consumer interest across age groups to compete with market leaders like Tesla.
Even as Ferrari accelerates into the future, its financial performance remains strong. The automaker reported an 11% year-over-year sales growth in Q1 2024, bringing in $1.72 billion in revenue. Shipments held steady at 3,560 units and Ferrari is on track for fiscal 2024 net revenues exceeding €6.4 billion.
Whether paying to pick up your car, splurging on a $250,000 vehicle after looking at luxury yachts or buying a Ferrari with Bitcoin, one thing stands out: luxury car brands know how to keep people coming back. They use smart strategies, cool technology and new financial trends to stay ahead in the world of high-end cars.

On Dec. 19, the Columbus, Ohio-based company said its sale to Nexus Capital fell through, noting it &#8220;continues to work toward completing an alternative going concern transaction with Nexus or another party.&#8221; CEO Bruce Thorn announced a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/12/42624759/big-lots-holds-liquidation-sales-analyst-pegs-competitor-as-major-beneficiary-market-share-capture-opportunity">going-out-of-business sale</a>.

Customer and creditor distributions will be facilitated through partnerships with cryptocurrency platforms Kraken and BitGo. The first round of distributions is expected to occur within 60 days of the plan's effective date. The initial distribution will cover holders of allowed claims in the Convenience Classes, while timelines for other claim classes will be announced later.

Benzinga recently interviewed Tony Roma&#8217;s CEO Mohaimina (Mina) Haque on a variety of topics, including the restaurant chain&#8217;s capital raising initiatives:
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">BZ: What's the global stage look like?</h3>
There's a lot of interest globally. We are in Dubai and Berlin as well as Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and Perth, Australia. There is a lot of brand awareness. Stateside, as Gen Z and millennials were growing up, there was a decrease in unit size. So, we are working on building that bridge between those who are nostalgic for Tony Roma's and those who haven't experienced it yet. There are challenges, including the supply chain and ensuring that franchise partners uphold our intellectual property.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">BZ: Is M&amp;A still on the cards?</h3>
It is a possibility. We have parties interested in helping us to expand our global and national footprint. So, it's still in the cards, with either a venture capital or private equity firm. For anyone interested and who wants to see more explosive growth for the company, we are looking for partners capable of heavy capital infusion.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">BZ: What size investment do you think would you go to ballpark it?</h3>
If I have to ballpark it, maybe somewhere between $10 million and $20 million

Deal Dispatch: Honeywell, Textron And Soho House Are Making M&A Moves

House conservatives are pressuring Speaker Mike Johnson after a rocky week of negotiations and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/12/42624528/government-shutdown-threat-stocks-wobble-holiday-travel-and-paychecks-could-face-delays-what-you-need-to-know" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">infighting over a government spending bill</a>.
Johnson, who narrowly avoided a government shutdown, now faces intense scrutiny from his party with a speakership vote looming in two weeks, <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2024/12/20/johnson-unsteady-speakership-time-00195784" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a> Politico.
The Louisiana Republican is caught between President-elect Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and the right wing of his party, and many in his conference are not satisfied with his leadership.
A few members have already vowed to oppose him, and others are openly questioning his ability to lead, especially after the contentious spending battle.
The conflict over the spending bill put Johnson at odds with several key figures, including Trump, who publicly criticized the funding plan before Johnson switched strategies.
Critics, including members of the Freedom Caucus, expressed frustration over the lack of communication and poor handling of the bill. Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-N.Y.), a moderate, described the leadership&#8217;s actions as &#8220;completely unacceptable&#8221; and said there was &#8220;zero communication&#8221; between the leadership and members, Politico adds.

Others, like Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.), have vowed to wait until January 3 to announce how they will vote on Johnson's speakership, reflecting the uncertainty about his future in the role.
Johnson did manage to get the spending bill passed with a relatively small number of defections, but the damage to his credibility may be long-lasting.
The incident has become a test of his ability to manage the fractious Republican conference, especially as the party looks to push ambitious legislation on the border and energy early in the new Congress, the report reads.
For many Republicans, Johnson's handling of this crisis will set the tone for how he leads in the future.
Some members believe Johnson still has a chance to rebuild his support, though the challenge remains formidable. If the situation doesn't improve, Johnson may face a leadership challenge, with names like Jim Jordan and Tom Emmer being floated as potential replacements.
Despite the turmoil, Johnson does have some allies, particularly within the House Freedom Caucus, who appreciate his fight to implement the Trump agenda.

Johnson Averts Shutdown But Faces Growing Pressure From Right

Peter Buffett, son of billionaire investor&nbsp;Warren Buffett, made a life-changing decision 47 years ago when he traded his inheritance to &#8220;buy time." Although he missed out on what would have been hundreds of millions of dollars in profit, he <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/warren-buffett">stands by his decision</a>.
Finding His Path:&nbsp;At 19, Buffett received a portion of the proceeds from the sale of his grandfather's farm, which his father invested in Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (NYSE:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/brk-a#NYSE">BRK-A</a>) (NYSE:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/brk-b#NYSE">BRK-B</a>), amounting to $90,000, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2020/05/07/warren-buffett-son-doesnt-regret-spending-berkshire-stock-he-got-at-19-worth-200-million-now.html?utm_campaign=trueanthem&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=facebook&amp;fbclid=IwAR2ltNtAQUUEhAViImalKNS2NdjCrlgyZxhj00Z4cr2TZQJm1mqBy-thwSY">CNBC</a>. His father made it clear that this was all the financial support he would receive for personal use. Despite knowing it was his entire inheritance, Peter sold his Berkshire stock to fund his passion for music.
Buffett dropped out of Stanford University, purchased a modest studio apartment in San Francisco, and invested in upgrading his recording equipment. He dedicated his time to honing his piano and music production skills.
His big break came unexpectedly when a neighbor asked him about his profession, setting him on the path to a successful career in music.
He told the neighbor that he was a "struggling composer" and the neighbor offered to introduce him to his son-in-law who was an animator looking for ad tunes for a new cable station — it turned out to be&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/mtv">MTV</a>.&nbsp;
Buffett is now 66 years of age and has released around 15&nbsp;studio albums over his successful career.&nbsp;

Rockefeller – Richest Man In The World: &#8216;People Have More Money Now&#8217;</a>
The Path Not Taken:&nbsp;If the son of the legendary investor would have stayed in college and held onto his $90,000&nbsp;investment in Berkshire Hathaway, it would be worth over $400 million today.&nbsp;
"But I didn&#8217;t make that choice and I don&#8217;t regret it for a second.&nbsp;I used my nest egg to buy something infinitely more valuable than money: I used it to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/04/31687018/couple-uses-huge-airbnb-profits-to-buy-time-they-only-spend-1-hour-working-per-week">buy time</a>," Buffett said.&nbsp;
That's a decision that his father would be proud of, he noted. The&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/billionaires">billionaire</a>&nbsp;taught his son that work isn't about making as much money as possible, instead it's about doing something that you love to do.
Buffett acknowledged that the money was a privilege, calling it a gift that he had not earned.
&#8220;Without those hundreds of unpaid hours spent fiddling with my recording gear, I would not have found my sound or approach," Buffett said.&nbsp;
The musician used the money to buy time to pursue something that he enjoys waking up and doing&nbsp;each day, which is exactly what his father tells young people to do. The billionaire has previously recommended that people pursue careers they would want even if money was not part of the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/03/31592697/if-you-want-to-move-forward-and-make-better-decisions-you-need-to-remember-these-3-words">decision-making process</a>.&nbsp;

Warren Buffett's Son's $90K Inheritance Would Be Worth More Than $400 Million Today, But He Sold His Berkshire Stock 47 Years Ago To Buy Something 'Infinitely More Valuable'

Google (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) has reduced its top management roles by 10% as part of a multi-year effort to streamline operations <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/09/34392201/google-salary-leak-reveals-mind-blowing-earnings-top-engineers-make">and boost efficiency</a>.
What Happened: On Wednesday, CEO Sundar Pichai revealed during an all-hands meeting that the move reflects Google&#8217;s broader push to simplify its structure and adapt to a rapidly evolving tech landscape.
According to employees who attended the meeting, Pichai explained that the efficiency drive included changes to managerial, director, and vice president roles. 
Some positions were restructured to nonmanagerial roles, while others were eliminated entirely. The changes align with Pichai's 2022 statement that he wanted the company to become "20% more efficient," a goal that resulted in 12,000 layoffs in January of this year. 
According to the report <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/google-ceo-company-cut-manager-vp-roles-2024-12">by</a> Business Insider, Google&#8217;s pursuit of efficiency comes as competition intensifies in the artificial intelligence space, with rivals like OpenAI launching products that challenge Google's dominance in search.

In response, Google has infused generative AI into its core services and unveiled innovations such as a new AI video generator and its Gemini AI models, including a "reasoning" model designed to showcase its thought process.
During the meeting, Pichai also addressed Google's cultural identity, discussing the term &#8220;Googleyness,&#8221; which he said needed an update to reflect the company&#8217;s modern values and direction. 
The term has long been associated with Google's work culture, and its evolution signals the company's commitment to staying relevant in a rapidly changing industry.
As Google continues its efficiency drive and AI innovation efforts, it remains a key player in shaping the future of technology while adapting its structure and culture for the challenges ahead.

Google Announces Major Layoffs As Pichai Stresses Efficiency

Peter Lynch, a renowned investor and former fund manager of the Magellan Fund at Fidelity Investments, achieved a legendary compound annual return of 29% during the 1980s. 
What Happened: In a 1997 <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=myu4Nv0pt0U">speech</a>, Lynch shared key principles from his 25-year career that guided his success. He emphasized that these principles were timeless, applicable then, now, and for decades to come. Below are three of his essential investing lessons.
Lynch advises against bias towards specific stocks or industries. He emphasizes that great investment opportunities can be found in unexpected places, including companies facing bankruptcy or skepticism. 
&#8220;There are great stocks everywhere, even those in bankruptcy or close to it. Often times great investments are the ones where everyone else will think you are crazy,&#8221; Lynch said during his speech. 
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/12/42499608/investment-guru-peter-lynch-if-you-cant-explain-to-an-11-year-old-in-2-minutes-or-less-why-you-own-t">Investment Guru Peter Lynch: &#8216;If You Can&#8217;t Explain To An 11-Year-Old In 2 Minutes Or Less Why You Own The Stock, You Shouldn&#8217;t Own It&#8217;</a>
Lynch recommends documenting the reasons for purchasing a stock. If those reasons no longer apply due to changes in the company's story, it may be time to sell. &#8220;When the story changes, the investment thesis changes,&#8221; he asserts.
A critical point Lynch underscores is that a stock dropping significantly doesn't mean it won't fall further. &#8220;Stocks can always go lower,&#8221; he warns, citing the example of Polaroid, which plummeted from $140 to $18 over nine months. He also cautions against assuming stocks will rebound solely because they've declined.
&#8220;Stocks also don't have to bounce back just because they went down,&#8221; he added. 
Why It Matters: These principles highlight Lynch's disciplined and thoughtful approach to investing, which continues to inspire investors today.
Lynch's principles offer timeless guidance for investors at all levels, from beginners to seasoned professionals. His focus on deeply understanding the business, prioritizing individual stock analysis, and exercising patience mirrors the strategies of legendary investors like Warren Buffett.
These insights serve as a powerful reminder that true success in investing comes not from chasing short-term gains but from making well-informed decisions and committing to a long-term

Investment Guru Peter Lynch: 'Often Great Investments Are The Ones Where Everyone Else Will Think You Are Crazy'

Mary Trump, niece of President-elect Donald Trump and one of his most vocal critics, has issued a stark warning about what to expect from her uncle's second administration. 
What Happened: Speaking on the podcast by The Daily Beast, Mary Trump referred to the upcoming presidency as a "regime" and described it as more dangerous than his first term.
During <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/why-trumps-niece-is-even-more-afraid-for-his-second-term/">the</a> interview, Mary Trump argued that the incoming administration, which she described as a "lame duck," will see Donald Trump "unleashed" because he will not face the pressures of reelection.
"He's not running for reelection. He doesn't have to play any games. He doesn't have to stay within the lines," she said, emphasizing that the lack of accountability could lead to more extreme policies and actions.
She said, &#8220;Trump&#8217;s presidency already is more dangerous than the first one as we see by his appointments and his nominations to key positions in the executive branch and then Cabinet positions."

She pointed to Trump's controversial Cabinet and executive branch nominations as evidence of the potential dangers. 
These include Pete Hegseth, a Fox News personality tapped for the Pentagon, and anti-vaccine advocate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who has been nominated to lead the Department of Health and Human Services. 
Mary Trump characterized these appointments as alarming signs of the administration's direction.
"The most depressing thing," she said, "is that everybody in corporate media, everybody in the Republican Party, and a significant percentage of Donald's voters knew it was going to be more dangerous, and yet, here we are."
Mary Trump's comments underscore concerns among critics about the implications of Donald Trump's second term, which they believe could dramatically reshape key aspects of governance and policy.

Mary Trump's Warning: Donald Trump's Second Term 'Already Is More Dangerous Than the First'

As <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/11/41857278/iranian-plot-against-trump-unveiled-as-tensions-with-us-grow">political tensions</a> rise in the United States, a unique opportunity is catching the attention of election-weary travelers. Villa Vie Residences, a Florida-based cruise company, offers a multiyear global adventure aboard its luxury vessel, the Villa Vie Odyssey. Dubbed the "Skip Forward" program in a press release from Villa Vie, the cruise is part of a 15-year worldwide journey that allows travelers to hop on or off at various ports, providing a way to "escape from reality."
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Floating Escape</h2>
Villa Vie's "Skip Forward" program offers a four-year continuous voyage to over 425 ports in 140 countries across all seven continents. Villa Vie's website lists prices starting at $159,999 per person for a four-year double-occupancy cabin, with options for shorter durations. Travelers seeking more affordable arrangements can book smaller segments of the "hop on hop off" cruise – a few months out of the planned itinerary – for anywhere from $8,344 and up. Alternatively, the premium double-occupancy ocean-view cabins total $350,000 for the full four-year term.

Villa Vie's website also lists that the program includes accommodations, meals, housekeeping, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41061483/spacexs-starlink-now-connects-4m-customers-with-more-than-6k-operational-satellites-adds-a-million-u">high-speed Starlink internet</a> and even limited alcoholic beverages during dinner. Guests also enjoy wellness classes, fitness facilities and opportunities to invite friends or family to join for $129 per day. Villa Vie touts the cruise as an "all-inclusive" lifestyle, eliminating concerns about hidden fees or additional taxes.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Highlights of the Itinerary</h2>
The Odyssey's route promises an immersive exploration of global wonders. Currently sailing through the Caribbean, the ship will conclude the year in Guayaquil, Ecuador, before embarking on a four-month South American tour. Highlights include transits through the Panama Canal, a visit to Rio de Janeiro's Carnival and an eight-day journey along the Amazon River. Travelers will also experience iconic landmarks such as the Chilean Fjords and a sail-by of Antarctica.
According to Mikael Petterson, CEO of Villa Vie Residences, the program was conceived before the recent <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/content/42444997/biden-harris-and-trump-campaigns-responsible-for-more-than-6-billion-ad-impressions-combined-on-meta">U.S. presidential election</a>. "Quite frankly, we don't have a political view one way or the other," Petterson told Newsweek. "We just wanted to give people who feel threatened a way to get out."

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Rising Trend in Extended Travel</h2>
Villa Vie's offer is part of a broader trend among travel companies responding to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/11/42023971/after-the-election-americans-are-exploring-life-abroad-but-what-are-the-financial-costs">heightened interest in leaving the U.S.</a> following the recent election. Google searches for phrases like "how to move" and "work visa" surged by more than 500% after Election Day, reminiscent of similar spikes after the 2016 election. While few Americans make permanent moves abroad – data from CNN shows that only about 2,000 applied for residency in Canada after the 2016 election – the growing availability of digital nomad visas and extended travel options offers alternative avenues for long-term escapes.
The "Skip Forward" program aligns with these trends, positioning itself as a cost-effective alternative to urban living. According to The Street, the annual cost of the cruise is comparable to or less than renting in cities like New York or Los Angeles.&nbsp;
"Your villa is your bedroom and the ship is your home," said Anne Alms, Villa Vie's Head of Sales, in Villa Vie's press release. "She'll take you across the globe to endless horizons."
Trending: It&#8217;s no wonder Jeff Bezos holds over $70 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>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Flexibility and Adventure</h2>
Villa Vie's emphasis on flexibility allows travelers to customize their experience. Whether booking a one-year "Escape from Reality" or committing to the full four-year "Skip Forward," passengers can join or leave the cruise at various ports. The company highlights this adaptability as a key feature of its offering, making it a compelling option for those seeking adventure and comfort.
As the Villa Vie Odyssey continues its 15-year global journey, its promise of cultural immersion and hassle-free living appeals to those eager to explore the world or leave behind the political stresses of home. Prospective adventurers can contact Villa Vie Residences or visit their website to book a consultation.

상세 내용: 테더는 럼블 클래스 A 보통주 1억 3천 3백 30만 주를 주당 7.50 달러에 구매하기로 합의하여 럼블에 총 7억 7천 5백만 달러의 총 수익을 제공한다.
럼블은 수익금 중 2억 5천만 달러를 성장 지원 사업에 사용하고 나머지 금액은 클래스 A 보통주 7천만 주에 대한 자가 매입 제안에 사용할 예정이다. 매입가는 주당 7.50 달러이다.
테더의 투자와 매입 제안은 2025년 1분기에 마감될 것으로 예상된다. 거래 완료 후 럼블의 기존 이사회 및 거버넌스 구조는 변경되지 않는다.
럼블의 CEO인 크리스 파블로브스키(Chris Pavlovski)는 거래가 완료된 후에도 회사의 지배 지분을 보유하게 된다.
"여러 가지 이유로 테더와의 이번 협력에 대해 이보다 더 흥분될 수는 없다. 첫째, 많은 사람들은 자유, 투명성, 분권화에 대한 열정에 뿌리를 둔 암호화폐와 표현의 자유 커뮤니티 사이의 믿을 수 없을 만큼 강한 연관성을 깨닫지 못할 수도 있다&#8221;고 그가 말했다.
&#8220;둘째, 우리 대차대조표에 2억 5천만 달러의 현금을 추가하겠다는 즉각적인 약속은 우리 회사 간의 협력에 대한 지원과 헌신의 수준을 확인할 뿐만 아니라 우리의 성장 이니셔티브를 촉진한다. 그리고 셋째, 이번 거래는 자기입찰매수에 참여하기로 선택한 모든 주주들에게 즉각적인 유동성 이벤트를 제공한다&#8221;고 그가 덧붙였다.
테더의 CEO인 파올로 아르도이노(Paolo Ardoino)는 럼블에 대한 투자에 대해 논평했다.
&#8220;럼블에 대한 테더의 투자는 분권화, 독립성, 투명성 및 표현의 자유에 대한 기본권이라는 우리의 공유 가치를 반영한다. 오늘날 세계에서 레거시 미디어는 점점 더 신뢰를 약화시켜 럼블과 같은 플랫폼이 신뢰할 수 있고 검열되지 않은 대안을 제공할 수 있는 기회를 만들어냈다&#8221;고 아르도이노가 말했다.
RUM 주가 움직임: Benzinga Pro 데이터에 따르면 럼블의 주식은 금요일 시장 마감 후 시간외 거래에서 50.07% 상승하여 10.79 달러에 거래되었다.

럼블(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RUM#NASDAQ">RUM</a>)의 주가가 금요일 20% 이상 급등했다. 목요일 늦게, 대통령 당선자인 도널드 트럼프가 게시글에서 데이비드 색스(David Sacks)를 차기 행정부의 &#8220;백악관 A.I. &amp; 크립토 차르&#8221;로 임명할 것이라고 밝혔다. 이 소식은 럼블의 주가 상승에 긍정적인 영향을 미쳤다. 자세한 내용은 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/RUM/news">여기</a>를 참조.
주요 사항: 트위터, 현재의 X에서 색스가 인공지능(AI) 및 암호화폐 관련 정책을 안내하여 미국의 글로벌 리더십을 강화하는 역할을 맡게 될 것이라고 발표했다. 또한, 그의 역할은 온라인 자유 발언 문제를 다루고, 대형 기술 기업의 편향성에 반대하며 그리고 암호화폐 산업에 대한 명확한 법적 틀을 만드는 것을 포함한다. 색스는 또한 과학기술 자문 대통령 위원회를 주재할 것이다.
색스는 럼블에서의 역할 외에도 2017년에 공동 설립한 벤처 캐피털 펀드인 크래프트 벤처스(Craft Ventures)의 일반 파트너이다. 그는 페이팔의 설립 COO, 야머(Yammer)의 설립자 및 CEO, 페이스북, 우버 및 스페이스X와 같은 저명한 기업들에 엔젤 투자한 경력을 가지고 있다.
색스의 임명 소식은 럼블 주가 상승에 기여했을 가능성이 높으며, 이는 고위 정부 직책에서 이사 중 한 명의 가시성과 영향력이 증가함에 따른 투자자들의 낙관적인 반응을 반영한다.
RUM 주가 동향: 럼블의 주식은 20.57% 급등 $8.41에 마감했다.

저명한 경제학자 피터 쉬프는 미국 정부의 비트코인 지지를 강력하게 비판하며 잠재적인 경제적 결과를 예측했다.
무슨 일 일어났나: 월요일(25일) 피터 쉬프는 소셜 미디어 X를 통해 세계 최고의 암호화폐에 대한 도널드 트럼프 차기 행정부의 베팅에 대한 우려를 표명했다. 그는 "트럼프 행정부의 비트코인 선택으로 월가는 비트코인과 관련 가치 파괴 사업에 자본을 잘못 배분한 덕분에 큰 이득을 보고 있다&#8221;고 했다.
쉬프의 발언은 마이크로스트레티지(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>)의 공격적인 비트코인 매수 전략을 겨냥한 것으로 보이며, 현재 럼블(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RUM#NASDAQ">RUM</a>)과 같은 다른 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42179537/rumble-bets-on-bitcoin-with-new-treasury-strategy-ceo-calls-it-an-excellent-addition" target="_blank" rel="noopener">월가 기업들도 이를 모방하고 있다.</a> 트럼프의 인기 슬로건인 &#8216;미국을 다시 위대하게&#8217;를 비꼬면서 그는 &#8216;미국은 더 약해질 것&#8217;이라고 말했다.

왜 중요한가: 쉬프의 발언은 미국 정부가 전략적으로 비트코인을 보유할 경우 발생할 수 있는 경제 재앙에 대해 경고한 데 이어 나온 것이다.
그는 정부가 비트코인을 추가로 구매하기 위해 더 많은 달러를 인쇄해야 할 것이며, 이는 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/41886523/peter-schiff-us-bitcoin-reserve-could-destroy-dollar-predicts-its-highly-unlikely-to-happen" target="_blank" rel="noopener">초인플레이션으로 이어져 달러 가치를 심각하게 떨어뜨릴 수 있다</a>고 경고했다.

피터 쉬프의 경고 "트럼프의 비트코인 지지는 경제적 혼란을 일으킬 수 있어"

인기 있는 동영상 공유 플랫폼 럼블(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RUM#NASDAQ">RUM</a>)은 최고 암호화폐인 비트코인의 기록적인 상승 속에서 비트코인 ​​재무 전략을 채택한 최신 월스트리트 플레이어가 되었다.
무슨 일이 있었나: 월요일 발표에 따르면, 럼블의 이사회는 회사의 잉여 현금 준비금의 일부를 비트코인에 할당하겠다는 새로운 전략을 승인했다. 이 조치는 럼블이 암호화폐 시장에 진출하기 위한 전략적 계획의 일환으로 추진된 것이다.
럼블의 할당 전략에는 이 회사의 재량에 따라 최대 2천만 달러까지의 비트코인 투자도 포함된다. 현재 시장 가격으로 계산하면 약 212 비트코인을 구매할 수 있는 금액이다.
하지만 실제 구매 시기와 가치는 경영진이 결정하며, 일반 시장 상황과 비트코인 가격 등의 요인에 따라 달라질 수 있다.

럼블, 새로운 재무 전략으로 비트코인에 투자, CEO는 이를 '훌륭한 추가'라고 언급

럼블(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RUM#NASDAQ">RUM</a>)의 주식은 스트리머 닥터 디스리스펙트(Dr. Disrespect)가 럼블 프리미엄(Rumble Premium)에 독점 콘텐츠를 제공하고 럼블 게이밍(<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/11/g42162724/dr-disrespect-will-lead-rumble-gaming-join-rumble-premium">Rumble Gaming)의 고문</a>으로 활동하게 될 것이라고 발표한 후 월요일 12% 이상 급등했다.
무슨 일이 있었나: 럼블은 월요일 아침 닥터 디스리스펙트가 럼블 플랫폼에서 그의 콘텐츠를 스트리밍하기 시작할 것이라고 발표했다. 이 협정은 대부분의 보상이 일정한 성과 기준에 따른 지분으로 이루어지는 조건을 포함한다.
닥터 디스리스펙트는 그의 &#8220;챔피언스 클럽(Champions Club)&#8221; 커뮤니티를 위한 럼블 프리미엄에 독점 콘텐츠를 제공하고 럼블 게이밍을 이끌어, 고문 역할을 하며 럼블 게이밍 커뮤니티를 구축하는 데 도움을 줄 예정이다.
닥터 디스리스펙트는 12월 2일에 럼블에 데뷔할 예정이다. 럼블은 출시의 일환으로 그의 커뮤니티에 대한 신규 가입자에게 10달러 할인을 제공할 것이다.
&#8220;럼블은 새로운 시대에 접어들었고, 저는 게임과 암호화폐라는 두 가지 분야로 확장하는 데 집중하고 있다. 닥터 디스리스펙트는 우리의 게임 카테고리에 꼭 필요한 활력을 불어넣어 줄 것이다&#8221;고 럼블의 회장 겸 CEO인 크리스 파블로브스키(Chris Pavlovski)가 말했다.

이제 럼블 주식 시장에 참여하는 방법이 궁금하실 것이다 &#8211; 주식을 구매하거나 회사에 대해 공매도를 시도할 수도 있다.

월요일 럼블 주식이 12% 이상 급등한 이유: 게임과 암호화폐 확장에 '집중'

아크 인베스트의 CEO 캐시 우드는 비트코인(CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>)에 대해 여러 가지 가격 목표를 제시했다. 더 많은 기업이 암호화폐를 자산으로 추가할 경우 강세 시나리오에서는 380만 달러를 전망하기도 했다. 하지만 벤징가 독자들은 이러한 가격 목표에 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/24/11/42017619/heres-how-much-100-in-bitcoin-could-be-worth-in-2030-if-cathie-woods-price-target-is-reached" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2030년까지는 도달하지 못할 것</a>으로 보고 있다.
무슨 일 있었나: 캐시 우드는 수년 동안 비트코인에 대한 여러 가격 목표를 공유해왔다. 이는 2024년 대선 이후 비트코인이 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42109267/bitcoin-hits-new-all-time-high-above-98000-as-spot-etfs-crack-100-billion-net-asset-value-milestone" target="_blank" rel="noopener">여러 차례 사상 최고치를 기록했다는 점</a>을 고려할 때 더 현실적으로 보일 수 있다.
올해 초 캐시 우드는 2030년의 비트코인 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/23/02/30660447/cathie-woods-ark-sees-bitcoin-joining-trillion-dollar-club-by-2030-here-are-its-bea" target="_blank" rel="noopener">가격 목표치</a>를 약세, 기본, 강세 시나리오를 기준으로 제시했다. 또한 기업들이 비트코인에 5%를 할당할 경우 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/03/37902973/cathie-wood-says-bitcoin-could-skyrocket-to-3-8m-by-2030-thanks-to-institutional-gr" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2030년까지 비트코인이 도달할 수 있는 최고가</a>를 포함한 새로운 강세 시나리오를 추가했다. 제시한 내용은 다음과 같다.
<ul>
<li>약세 시나리오: 258,500 달러</li>
<li>기본 시나리오: 682,000 달러</li>
<li>강세 시나리오: 1,480,000 달러</li>
<li>매우 강세 시나리오: 3,800,000 달러</li>
</ul>
최근 벤징가는 독자들을 대상으로 &#8220;캐시 우드의 비트코인 380만 달러 목표가는 2030년까지 현실화될까?&#8221;라고 물었으며, 그 결과는 다음과 같다.
<ul>
<li>아니다. 비트코인은 절대 380만 달러에 도달하지 못할 것이다: 34%</li>
<li>아니다. 비트코인은 2030년까지 380만 달러에 도달하지 못할 것이다: 25%</li>
<li>비트코인이 380만 달러에 도달할 수 있지만, 2030년까지는 아닐 것이다: 24%</li>
<li>그렇다. 비트코인은 2030년까지 380만 달러에 도달할 것이다: 17%</li>
</ul>
설문조사에 따르면 독자의 17%만이 2030년까지 비트코인이 380만 달러에 도달할 것이라고 답했다. 가장 높은 비율의 독자들은 비트코인이 목표 가격인 380만 달러에 절대 도달하지 못할 것이라고 답했다. 나머지 대다수 독자들은 비트코인이 380만 달러에 도달할 가능성이 있지만 2030년 이후가 될 것이라고 답했다.
왜 중요한가: 캐시 우드 주장의 일부는 기업이 비트코인을 자산으로 추가하는 것에 달려 있다. 마이크로스트레티지(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>)가 가장 유명한 사례다. 마이크로스트레티지는 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42118133/short-seller-andrew-left-targets-microstrategy-stock-as-hedge-against-bullish-bitcoin-bet-completely-detached-from-btc-fundamentals" target="_blank" rel="noopener">계속 수익을 비트코인에 투자하고 매입을 지속하면서 투자</a>하고 있다. 
테슬라, 블록 등 다른 기업들도 비트코인을 대차대조표에 추가했지만, 마이크로스트레티지보다 적은 수량을 보유하고 있다.
마이클 세일러 마이크로스트레티지 회장은 최근 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42079799/microstrategys-michael-saylor-to-advocate-for-bitcoin-investment-at-microsoft-board-meeting-offers-to-educate-rumble-ceo-with-the-strategy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">마이크로소프트 이사회에 비트코인을 자산으로 추가해야 하는 이유를 발표할 것이라고</a> 말했다. 이 안건은 마이크로소프트에 제안되었으며, 거래가 성사된다면 비트코인을 구매하는 가장 큰 회사 중 하나가 될 것이다.
또한 세일러는 비트코인 매입을 고려하는 럼블(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RUM#NASDAQ">RUM</a>) CEO에게 조언할 수도 있다고 했다. 새로운 트럼프 행정부 역시 전략적 비축을 위해 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/events/24/11/42071064/exclusive-anthony-pompliano-calls-for-us-to-buy-250b-bitcoin-on-day-1-of-trump-administration-protect-our-future-its-such-a-no-brainer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">비트코인 매입</a>을 추진할 가능성도 있다.
최대 공급량이 2,100만 비트코인으로 고정되어 있는 상황에서 기업과 각국 정부가 준비금과 대차대조표에 비트코인을 추가하려는 수요로 인해 가격이 급등할 가능성이 있으며, 이는 캐시 우드가 제시한 가격 목표의 핵심 논지였다.
캐시 우드는 최근 <a href="https://x.com/BitcoinMagazine/status/1857483221857865879" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CNBC 인터뷰에서</a> 아크 인베스트의 비트코인 초기 투자를 강조하며 가격 목표치를 재차 강조하면서 "우리는 2015년 250달러였던 비트코인에 투자한 최초의 자산운용사였다&#8221;고 했다. 또 비트코인이 약 9만 달러에 거래되고 있지만 갈 길이 멀다고 생각한다고 말했다.
그리고 캐시 우드는 새로운 행정부에서 규제 완화를 받는 것이 비트코인에 있어 가장 중요한 일 중 하나라고 말했다. 비트코인이 새로운 자산 클래스로 여겨지면서 더 많은 기관과 자산 배분자가 최고의 암호화폐에 투자하기를 원할 것으로 보고 있다.
우드의 아크 인베스트는 Ark 21 Shares Bitcoin ETF(BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKB#BATS">ARKB</a>)를 통해 SEC의 비트코인 ETF 승인을 받은 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/01/36605838/ark-invest-ceo-cathie-wood-projects-a-single-bitcoin-could-be-worth-1-5m-by-2020-probabili" target="_blank" rel="noopener">여러 회사 중 하나</a>이기도 하다.
비트코인 가격 움직임: 비트코인은 기사 작성 시점에 98,617.47달러에 거래되고 있으며 2024년에는 전년 대비 123% 상승할 것으로 예상된다. <a href="//www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/41951961/bitcoin-to-100k-benzinga-readers-predict-if-btc-can-hit-new-milestone-before-end-of-2024"" target="_blank" rel="noopener">최근 벤징가의 설문조사</a>에 따르면 독자의 73%가 2024년 말까지 비트코인이 10만 달러에 도달할 것이라고 답했다.
&#x2A;해당 설문조사는 벤징가에서 2024년 11월 14일부터 11월 15일까지 실시했으며, 만 18세 이상의 다양한 성인 인구의 응답을 포함했습니다. 설문조사 참여는 전적으로 자발적으로 이루어졌으며 잠재적 응답자에게는 어떠한 인센티브도 제공되지 않았습니다. 이 연구는 성인 156명의 결과를 반영합니다.

캐시 우드의 비트코인 380만 달러 전망에 대한 의구심, "2030년까지는 힘들어"

수요일(13일) CNN 머니 공포·탐욕 지수는 전반적인 시장 심리가 소폭 개선된 반면, &#8216;탐욕&#8217; 영역에 머물렀다.
수요일 미국 증시는 투자자들이 최근 인플레이션 데이터를 소화하면서 혼조세로 마감했다. 미국의 10월 연간 인플레이션은 전월의 2.4%에서 2.6%로 상승하여 시장 예상치와 일치했다. 10월 소비자물가지수(CPI)는 전월 대비로는 0.2% 상승했다.
럼블(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RUM#NASDAQ">RUM</a>)은 3분기 실적이 부진하게 나타난 후 수요일에 주가가 약 10% 하락했다. 반면, 사이버아크 소프트웨어(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CYBR#NASDAQ">CYBR</a>)는 3분기 실적이 예상치를 상회했다.
S&amp;P 500의 대부분의 업종이 상승세로 마감한 가운데 임의소비재, 에너지, 부동산 섹터는 수요일에 가장 큰 상승폭을 기록했다. 그러나 정보기술 및 통신서비스 섹터는 전체 시장 추세를 역행하며 하락세로 마감했다.
수요일 다우존스 지수는 약 47포인트 상승한 43,958.19포인트로 마감했다. S&amp;P 500 지수는 0.02% 상승한 5,985.38포인트를 기록했고, 나스닥 종합지수는 0.26% 하락한 19,230.73포인트로 마감했다.

<h3>CNN 비즈니스 공포·탐욕 지수란?</h3>
CNN 비즈니스 공포·탐욕 지수는 현재 67.5이며 수요일에 &#8216;탐욕&#8217; 영역에 머물렀다. 이전 수치는 66.5였다.
공포·탐욕 지수는 현재 시장 심리를 측정하는 지표다. 공포가 높을수록 주가에 압력을 가하고, 탐욕이 높을수록 주가를 상승시킨다는 전제를 바탕으로 한다. 이 지수는 동일한 가중치를 가진 7가지 지표를 기준으로 계산된다. 지수의 범위는 0에서 100까지이며 0은 최대 공포를, 100은 최대 탐욕을 나타낸다.

수요일 주목해야 할 주식: 사이버아크, 시스코 시스템즈, 럼블, 마라 홀딩스 및 비저 홈즈

럼블(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RUM#NASDAQ">RUM</a>)의 주식은 회사의 3분기 재무 결과 발표 후 화요일 시간외 거래에서 8% 이상 하락했다. 다음은 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/11/g41918800/rumble-reports-third-quarter-2024-results">보고서 요약</a>이다.
<ul>
<li>3분기 매출: 2,510만 달러, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">예상치</a> 2,925만 달러 대비 하회</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>3분기 조정 EPS: 15센트 손실, 예상 12센트 손실 대비 하회</li>
</ul>
매출은 전년 대비 39% 증가했다. 평균 전 세계 월간 활성 사용자 수는 3분기에 6,700만 명으로 증가했으며, 2분기에는 5,300만 명이었다. 이 비디오 공유 플랫폼 회사는 정치 콘텐츠에 대한 관심 증가로 인해 사용자가 급증했을 가능성이 있다고 밝혔다. 3분기 평균 사용자당 이익은 33센트로, 2분기의 37센트에서 감소했다.
럼블은 분기 말에 현금, 현금성 자산 및 시장성 있는 증권으로 1억 3,200만 달러를 보유하고 있었다.
&#8220;우리가 공적으로 데뷔한 지 2년이 지났으며, 저는 솔직히 우리 앞에 있는 기회에 대해 그 어느 때보다 더 낙관적이다. 우리는 선거 당일에 기록을 세웠다&#8221;고 럼블의 회장 겸 CEO인 크리스 파블로브스키(Chris Pavlovski)가 말했다.
&#8220;미국 국민이 목소리를 냈다. 취소 문화는 죽었다. 자유 발언이 이제 주류가 되었고, 럼블은 최고의 독립 제작자 라인업과 최고의 경제성을 갖춘 운전석에 있다.&#8221;

전망: 럼블은 2024년 남은 기간 동안 매출 성장을 계속 기대하고 있다고 밝혔다. 이 회사는 또한 2025년까지 조정 EBITDA 손익 분기점에 &#8220;실질적으로 접근&#8221;할 것으로 계속 기대하고 있다.

럼블의 주식은 예상보다 낮은 3분기 실적으로 시간외 거래에서 8% 이상 하락

럼블(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RUM#NASDAQ">RUM</a>)의 주식은 화요일 밤 전직 대통령 도널드 트럼프와 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40808499/trump-vs-harris-debates-results-are-in-flash-poll-shows-resounding-majority-pick-vice-president-as-w" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">카멀라 해리스 부통령</a> 간의 대선 토론 이후 수요일에 하락세를 보였다.
상세 내용:

럼블은 토론 중에 최대 1,044,513명의 동시 라이브 시청자를 기록했으며 자체 콘텐츠 전송 네트워크(CDN)에서 새로운 대역폭 처리량 기록을 세웠다. 또한 LiveSearch.app에 따르면 럼블은 미국 내 상위 100개 라이브 스트림 중 31개를 보유한 곳으로, 네트워크별 시청자의 11.8%, 네트워크별 스트리머의 31%를 차지했다.

어떤 일이 (What Happened): 럼블은 2분기 매출이 2,250만 달러로 전분기 대비 27% 증가했다고 보고했다. <a href="https://bzresearch.myclickfunnels.com/benzinga-pro-content-webinar-registration/?utm_source=BZprocontent081224&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1">Benzinga Pro</a>의 데이터에 따르면 매출 수치는 월가의 컨센서스 추정치인 1,969만 달러를 넘어섰다.
이 회사는 주당 13센트의 손실을 보고했는데, 이는 월가의 컨센서스인 주당 15센트의 손실보다 낮다.
럼블은 2분기에 전 세계 월간 평균 활성 사용자 수(MAU)가 5,300만 명이라고 보고했는데, 이는 1분기의 5,000만 명보다 증가한 수치이다. 이 회사는 이것이 평균 글로벌 MAU가 4천만 명을 넘는 10분기 연속이라고 밝혔다.
이 회사 측은 "2024년 1분기보다 증가한 것은 2024년 2분기 정치 뉴스에 대한 관심이 높아진 데 따른 것으로 판단한다"고 밝혔다.
5,300만 MAU 중 3,700만 명이 미국과 캐나다에 기반을 두고 있다.
럼블은 6월 27일 조 바이든과 도널드 트럼프의 첫 번째 대선 토론에서 동시 실시간 스트리밍 시청자에 대한 회사 신기록을 세웠다. 이 회사는 제3자 데이터에 따르면 토론 기간 동안 플랫폼의 동시 라이브 시청자 수가 최고 718,909명에 달하는 것으로 나타났다.
이 회사의 사용자당 평균 매출은 2분기에 37센트로 1분기보다 19% 증가했다. 이는 회사가 관리 초점을 더 잘 반영할 것이라고 믿는 새로운 회사 지표이다. 럼블은 사용자당 매출이 더 높은 것은 해당 분기의 후원 매출이 더 높았기 때문이라고 말했다.
월간 시청 시간은 1분기 860만 분에서 2분기 총 85억 분으로 감소했다. 2분기 일일 업로드 동영상 시간은 총 13,342시간으로 전년 동기 대비 1%, 1분기 대비 7% 증가했다.
럼블은 앞으로 월별 시청 시간과 하루 업로드된 동영상 시간에 대한 보고를 중단할 것이라고 말했다.
이 동영상 공유 회사는 지난 5월 온라인 광고 시장 독점을 주장하며알파벳(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) 계열사인 구글을 상대로 두 번째 독점 금지 소송을 시작했다. 럼블은 10억 달러 이상의 손해배상을 요구하고 있다.
럼블은 또한 자기 선호에 관해 구글을 상대로 2021년 1월에 제기된 소송이 계류 중이며 2025년 5월에 재판이 예정되어 있다.
이 회사는 현금 및 현금 등가물이 1억 5,420만 달러로 2분기를 마감했다.
&#8220;2분기에는 우리의 청취자가 수익 창출에 적합하다는 증거와 발전을 확인할 수 있었다. 적절한 사용자 기반을 바탕으로 수익 창출을 진행하면서, 2분기에 새로운 주요 성과 지표인 &#8216;사용자당 평균 매출(ARPU)&#8217;을 도입했다&#8221;고 럼블의 CEO인 크리스 파블로브스키(Chris Pavlovski)가 말했다.
다음은 (What&#8217;s Next): 럼블은 2025년에 손익분기점 조정 EBITDA에 실질적으로 도달할 것으로 예상한다고 말했다.
럼블은 &#8220;광고주와의 후원 계약이 예상대로 계속해서 성과를 내고 선거 주기가 심화됨에 따라 정치 광고가 증가한다면 매출은 2024년 내내 계속해서 증가할 것으로 기대한다&#8221;고 말했다.
2분기 말부터 럼블은 럼블 클라우드 플랫폼을 위해 NFL의 마이애미 돌핀스(Miami Dolphins) 및 하드록 스타디움(Hard Rock Stadium)과의 파트너십을 발표했다.
&#8220;수익 창출에 집중하고 제품군이 완전히 온라인 상태로 전환됨에 따라, 초기 채택이 성공적으로 이루어지고 있는 점에 만족하고 있다. 이는 온보딩된 클라우드 고객의 발전과 클라우드 공간 내에서 우리가 다룰 수 있는 전체 시장을 확장하기 위한 추가 파트너십을 추진하기 위한 대화의 진화에서 분명하다&#8221;고 파블로브스키가 말했다.
RUM 주가 움직임: 럼블은 월요일 애프터마켓에서 6.78% 상승한 6.14달러를 기록했다.
