El Salvador&#8217;s president, Nayib Bukele, proposed a prisoner exchange with his Venezuelan counterpart, Nicolas Maduro, on Sunday, aiming to repatriate Venezuelan deportees from the U.S. in exchange for &#8220;political prisoners&#8221; held in the South American country.
What Happened: Bukele addressed Maduro, stating his willingness to repatriate 252 Venezuelan deportees. In return, he asked for the release of an equal number of political prisoners held in Venezuela. 
&#8220;Unlike you, who have political prisoners, we don&#8217;t have political prisoners,&#8221; Bukele said. &#8220;All the Venezuelans we have in custody were detained as part of an operation against gangs like the Tren de Aragua in the United States.&#8221;

Among individuals Bukele suggested being released from Venezuela were activist lawyer Rocío San Miguel and journalist Roland Carreño, actions against whom have drawn <a href="https://www.amnesty.org/en/petition/free-the-wrongly-imprisoned-in-venezuela/">criticism</a> from groups like Amnesty International. Bukele also mentioned&nbsp;nearly 50 detained citizens of&nbsp;other nationalities, including Americans, Germans, and Dominicans, among others.
Venezuela&#8217;s Attorney General, Tarek William Saab, criticized Bukele&#8217;s proposal and accused El Salvador of &#8220;arbitrarily&#8221; detaining Venezuelans in a state of &#8220;enforced disappearance in a concentration camp,&#8221; according to Venezuela&#8217;s news network Globovisión. 
He also sought to know what offenses the detainees were charged with, if they had access to legal recourse, and if they had been permitted to speak to anybody since their detention.

Why It Matters: This proposal comes amid escalating tensions over the deportation of individuals accused of committing violent crimes by the Donald Trump administration. 
Notably, in response to requests from lawyers for the American Civil Liberties Union, the U.S. Supreme Court temporarily stopped the deportation of a group of Venezuelan migrants on Saturday, according to Reuters.
Trump has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44805346/trump-appreciates-nayib-bukele-for-taking-in-criminalsel-salvador-president-says-we-wont-return-maryland-man-mistakenly-deported-by-us">appreciated</a> Bukele for accepting custody of deportees whom the U.S. has alleged are gang members.
However, controversy erupted soon over&nbsp;Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Maryland resident&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44779739/oops-hes-alive-and-secure-trump-administration-updates-status-on-mistaken-deportation-to-el-salvador" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">deported to El Salvador due to an &#8220;administrative error.&#8221;</a>&nbsp;The Supreme Court backed a lower court ruling for officials to assist in the return of Garcia
According to Amnesty International, El Salvador's prison system is&nbsp;<a href="https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2023/12/el-salvador-policies-practices-legislation-violate-human-rights/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">notorious</a>&nbsp;for widespread human rights violations, violence, and overcrowding.
El Salvador became the first country to adopt Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) as its legal tender in 2021,  and it has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/41084132/nayib-bukeles-el-salvador-is-mainstreaming-bitcoin-by-putting-the-price-where-everyone-can" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">since pursued an ambitious strategy</a> to integrate the digital asset into the various aspects of its citizens&#8217; lives.

Nayib Bukele Proposes Swapping US-Deported Venezuelans With Nicolas Maduro's 'Political Prisoners'

The 2025 White House Easter Egg Roll will feature a variety of activities sponsored by Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), and YouTube, a subsidiary of Alphabet Inc.'s (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>) Google.
What Happened: According to a statement from First Lady Melania Trump's office, Amazon will sponsor a "reading nook," YouTube will organize a "bunny hop stage," and Meta will offer an "AI-powered experience and photo opportunity."
The event will also include traditional activities such as the egg roll and egg hunt, with eggs donated by American egg farmers.

Trump has repeatedly said that his administration successfully lowered egg prices.

Last year's celebration at the White House under former President Joe Biden was themed around education. It was led by former First Lady Jill Biden, a longtime educator, and included activities like a reading corner and a mock farm field trip.

Meta, Amazon, And YouTube To Sponsor 2025 White House Easter Egg Roll: Trump Says, 'I'll Be There!'

China&#8217;s central bank continued to accumulate gold, adding 5 tonnes to its stash in March, marking its 5th consecutive monthly purchase. 
What Happened: On Sunday, The Kobeissi Letter, a popular capital markets newsletter posted on X, stating that China&#8217;s Central Bank has purchased gold for the 5th straight month, adding 5 tonnes in March, and bringing its total gold reserves to a record 2,292 tonnes.

It adds that gold now accounts for 6.5% of the nation&#8217;s official reserve assets, having purchased a &#8220;whopping&#8221; 50 tonnes of the yellow metal in February, more than 10 times what was officially reported, according to Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>).

According to the post, China has been accumulating gold at a rapid pace, with its purchases on the London OTC market significantly above officially reported numbers.
Why It Matters: Growing central bank demand has sent gold to record highs in recent weeks, and analysts at Bank of America Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>) continue to revise their targets upwards for the commodity, citing <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/03/44569258/gold-market-rallies-amid-inflation-concerns-and-trade-uncertainty">trade war uncertainties</a> and a weaker U.S. Dollar.
Gold prices are also seeing momentum from growing ETF inflows, with global gold <a href="https://benzinga.com/25/04/44759336/gold-soars-beyond-3200-as-etfs-achieve-record-inflows-in-q1">ETFs adding $21 billion</a> in the first quarter of 2025, marking their second-highest quarterly inflow since the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, as investors pursue safe-haven assets amid global market turmoil.

What Happened: Bitcoin breached the $86,000 barrier to touch $87,000 for the first time in nearly three weeks. The apex cryptocurrency's breakout spurred a similar price action for Dogecoin.
Ethereum, on the other hand, failed to generate momentum, as the second-largest cryptocurrency remained in the $1,600 range.
Bitcoin's monthly gains reached nearly 3%, in stark contrast to ETH&#8217;s 13.26% drop.
The late evening rally pushed the 24-hour liquidations past $220 million, with over $140 million in short positions erased.

The percentage of traders placing bullish long bets on Bitcoin surged to 55%, according to the Long/Short Ratio, indicating expectations of a sustained rally.
The market sentiment stayed in the &#8220;Fear&#8221; category, according to the Crypto Fear and Greed Index, although the magnitude dipped over the previous day.
Last week also saw some panic in the market after cryptocurrency trading behemoth Binance (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/bnb/usd">BNB</a>), along with other exchanges, faced withdrawal disruptions due to an Amazon Web Services outage on Tuesday, according to Reuters.

Bitcoin Crosses Key Barrier, Dogecoin Spikes, Ethereum Flat On Easter Sunday: Popular Influencer Says BTC Needs To Breach $88,804 For A Bullish Breakout

President Donald Trump's Easter messages on Sunday sparked backlash, as his posts on Truth Social attacked political rivals, and judges.
What Happened: Trump posted multiple Easter messages on his Truth Social platform. The first message, posted early in the morning, offered more typical Easter wishes.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/20214727/Screenshot-2025-04-21-at-7.17.18%E2%80%AFAM-1024x486.png" alt="" class="wp-image-878751" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Source: Truth Social</figcaption></figure>
However, just minutes later, he followed up with a second message targeting his political opponents, including former President Joe Biden and the &#8220;Radical Left Lunatics.&#8221;
He accused the former administration of enabling dangerous individuals to re-enter the U.S. and criticized judges and law enforcement officials for their alleged ongoing inaction.
Trump also reiterated <a href="http://benzinga.com/25/01/42980742/trump-off-hook-in-2020-election-case-special-counsel-smith-says-evidence-was-sufficient-to-obtain-and-sustain-a-conviction">false claims about the 2020 election</a>, calling Biden "America's WORST and most Incompetent President."

In another post, Trump also said he would make America &#8220;more religious.&#8221;

Why It&#8217;s Important: Trump's message comes as he's pushing a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/politics/25/04/44680699/alien-enemies-act-survives-court-challenge-trump-gains-green-light-for-swift-deportations">controversial immigration plan</a>.

Several people took to social media and expressed their dissatisfaction with the President's holiday message.&nbsp;
Adam Kinzinger, a former Illinois Republican Congressman, took to X, formerly Twitter, and mocked Trump's Easter message for not mentioning Jesus or forgiveness, the core themes of Easter.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Latest On Pfizer</h2>
On Feb. 4, the company announced its Q4 2024 earnings, posting adjusted EPS of $0.63, beating the consensus estimate of $0.47, as reported by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/25/02/43463168/pfizer-q4-earnings-revenue-and-eps-beat-seagen-and-covid-19-products-show-strength-issues-strong-fy25-outlook">Benzinga</a>.
The U.S. drugmaker reported sales of $17.76 billion, up 22% year-over-year, and above the consensus of $17.40 billion.
Pfizer reaffirmed its full-year 2025 revenue guidance of $61 billion to $64 billion, compared to the consensus estimate of $63.025 billion. The company anticipates adjusted EPS in the range of $2.80 to $3.00, compared to the consensus of $2.94.
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>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How Can You Earn $100 Per Month As A Pfizer Investor?</h2>
If you want to make $100 per month — $1,200 annually — from Pfizer dividends, your investment value needs to be approximately $15,666, which is around 698 shares at $22.44 each.&nbsp;
Understanding the dividend yield calculations: When making an estimate, you need two key variables — the desired annual income ($1,200) and the dividend yield (7.66% in this case). So, $1,200 / 0.0766 = $15,666 to generate an income of $100 per month.
You can calculate the dividend yield by dividing the annual dividend payments by the current price of the stock.
The dividend yield can change over time. This is the outcome of fluctuating stock prices and dividend payments on a rolling basis.
See Also: Hasbro, MGM, and Skechers trust this AI marketing firm — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/rad-intel">invest pre-IPO from $0.60 per share now</a>.
For instance, assume a stock that pays $2 as an annual dividend is priced at $50. Its dividend yield would be $2/$50 = 4%. If the stock price rises to $60, the dividend yield drops to 3.33% ($2/$60). A drop in stock price to $40 will have an inverse effect and increase the dividend yield to 5% ($2/$40).
In summary, income-focused investors may find Pfizer stock an attractive option for making a steady income of $100 per month by owning 698 shares of stock. There may be more upside to come as investors benefit from the company's consistent dividend hikes. Pfizer has raised its dividend consecutively for the last 14 years.&nbsp;

US Futures Fall, Volatile Start For Nikkei, Dollar Slips As Trump Pushes Fed For Rate Cuts, Jerome Powell Exit

Dan Ives said on Sunday that Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) and Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) are among the most groundbreaking tech firms globally. However, Ives suggests that Elon Musk should step back from governmental roles and refocus on Tesla. 
What Happened: Ives took to X and highlighted the importance of Musk&#8217;s involvement in Tesla&#8217;s upcoming earnings call. 
Ives stated, &#8220;Musk needs to leave the govt, take a step back on DOGE, and get back to being CEO of Tesla full-time in our view.&#8221; This comment comes amid growing concerns about Musk&#8217;s attention being diverted from Tesla to his role in the Department of Government Efficiency under President Donald Trump.

Reports have indicated that Musk&#8217;s focus on DOGE has frustrated investors, as they believe it detracts from his responsibilities at Tesla. Recent discussions suggest that Musk&#8217;s role in the government might soon conclude, potentially allowing him to dedicate more time to Tesla.

Why It Matters: Ives&#8217; remarks come at a critical time for Tesla, as the company prepares for a significant first-quarter earnings call on Tuesday after market close.
Tesla&#8217;s stock has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/content/44863730/tesla-stock-eyes-breakout-with-earnings-on-deck">shown resilience</a>, closing around $241 on Thursday, and analysts are closely watching for potential breakout signals. Even so, Tesla shares have fallen over 36% since the year began.
The company&#8217;s recent delivery numbers were disappointing, leading to concerns about its future performance. Ives, a prominent analyst, has reiterated an Outperform rating on Tesla, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44346423/teslas-biggest-bull-frustrated-with-elon-musks-focus-on-doge-over-company-patience-wearing-thin">emphasizing the need</a> for Musk to address the brand crisis.

Elon Musk 'Needs To Leave' The Government And Get Back To Being CEO Of Tesla, Says Dan Ives Ahead Of Q1 Earnings

Editor&#8217;s note: The headline has been revised for grammatical accuracy.
DHL&nbsp;has temporarily halted&nbsp;business-to-consumer shipments to the&nbsp;United States&nbsp;with a customs value exceeding&nbsp;$800. This suspension, effective Monday, April 21, 2025, is a response to recent changes in U.S. Customs regulations.
What Happened: DHL&#8217;s decision comes in the wake of updated U.S. Customs regulations that have caused considerable transit delays for shipments valued over $800, said the global logistics company in an update on its website. 
These changes affect shipments originating from any location and apply solely to B2C&nbsp;shipments to private individuals in&nbsp;the U.S.&nbsp;Business-to-business shipments to U.S.&nbsp;companies&nbsp;are not affected by the&nbsp;suspension, although they may also face&nbsp;delays.
As of April 5, 2025, all&nbsp;shipments to the U.S. with&nbsp;a declared customs value exceeding&nbsp;$800 now require formal entry processing, a reduction from the previous $2,500 threshold. This adjustment has led to&nbsp;a surge in formal customs&nbsp;clearances, which DHL is actively managing. Despite efforts to scale operations, shipments over $800 may still experience multi-day delays.
DHL said it is working diligently to address these challenges and will provide&nbsp;updates as the situation evolves.&nbsp;The temporary suspension is a measure to manage the increased demand for formal customs processing.

This has led to concerns about potential economic repercussions.
Furthermore,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/management/25/04/44871428/blackstone-president-warns-of-recession-risk-tied-to-trumps-tariffs">Jonathan Gray</a>, president of Blackstone Inc., warned that the ongoing uncertainty surrounding Trump&#8217;s tariff policies could heighten the risk of a recession. The longer these global tariff uncertainties persist, the greater the potential for market disruption and unintended consequences throughout the financial system.

DHL Says It's Suspending Global Shipments To US Valued More Than $800 As Customs Updates Cause Multi-Day Transit Delays (CORRECTED)

On paper, Americans <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/02/43539942/are-you-rich-heres-what-americans-think-you-need-to-be-considered-wealthy-2">have never been richer</a>. According to the Federal Reserve's latest <a href="https://www.federalreserve.gov/publications/files/scf23.pdf">Survey of Consumer Finances</a>, the average U.S. household net worth hit $1.06 million in 2022 — a 23% jump from $868,000 just three years earlier.
That's right. Millionaire status. Technically.
The survey, <a href="https://www.federalreserve.gov/newsevents/pressreleases/other20250228a.htm">conducted every three years</a>, captures the total value of assets — from homes and retirement accounts to vehicles and brokerage balances — minus all debts. It includes everything from checking accounts and 401(k)s to investment properties, annuities, and even boats and RVs. But here's the catch: averages don't tell the whole story.
In reality, this number is skewed by the ultra-wealthy. While the average household may clear seven figures, the median net worth — the point where half of households have more and half have less — was just $192,900. That's a pretty big gap, and it says a lot more about how people are actually living.

<li>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></li>
</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Net Worth Is Up. So Are Prices.</h2>
Even with growing net worths and slightly higher wages, Americans are feeling the squeeze. Take housing, for example. <a href="https://www.zillow.com/home-values/102001/united-states/">According to Zillow</a>, the average home value in the U.S. is now $361,263, up 2.1% in the last year. Homes are going under contract in just 26 days — if buyers can afford them.
Ownership is becoming so expensive that younger generations are backing out entirely. The National Association of Realtors says the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/11/41876775/u-s-homebuyers-are-now-56-on-average-as-younger-generations-struggle-with-wildly-unaffordable-market-housing-expert-warns">average age of a homebuyer is now 56</a>, up from 49 in 2023. That's the highest it's ever been, and a clear sign that first-time buyers are aging out before they even get in.
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>
Then there are the cars. Kelley Blue Book reports that the average new vehicle now costs $48,039, up 43% in the last decade. That's nearly a full year's salary for many Americans.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Wages Aren't Keeping Pace</h2>
According to the <a href="https://www.bls.gov/news.release/wkyeng.nr0.htm">U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics</a>, the median weekly wage for full-time workers in Q1 2025 was $1,194 — or about $62,000 per year. While that's up 4.8% from last year, inflation rose 2.7% in the same period. So yes, there's some real wage growth, but it's not enough to offset rising costs across housing, insurance, food, and transportation.
And for many households, those net worth numbers are tied up in assets they can't touch — like a primary residence or retirement accounts. They may technically have a high net worth, but it doesn't help much at the grocery store checkout.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Disconnect</h2>
The growing gap between what the data says and what people feel is at the heart of America's current economic mood. You might be a millionaire — but not in a way that makes life easier to afford.
As prices rise to reflect the higher averages, they can leave the majority behind. The typical household isn't upgrading to a luxury car or scooping up investment properties. They're just trying to stretch a paycheck far enough to fill the gas tank and maybe save a little for the future.
So yes, the "average" American household is a millionaire. But for most people, it doesn't feel like wealth. It feels like survival.

The Average Household Is A Millionaire With A $1.06 Million Net Worth, According To The Fed — So Why Do People Still Feel Broke?

It seems that Joe Rogan isn&#8217;t buying the idea that there&#8217;s some hidden genius behind President Donald Trump&#8217;s actions, especially not when it comes to the economy. On a recent <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nNxzn-vRodY">episode</a> of &#8220;The Joe Rogan Experience,&#8221; Rogan and comedian Ron White took turns joking about what they see as a chaotic and surreal moment in American leadership.
&#8220;It&#8217;s so baffling. It&#8217;s so crazy. Like, what is going on? The whole world is mad at us,&#8221; said Rogan.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Mocking the Commander-in-Chief</h2>
&#8220;Trump&#8217;s playing golf, and in between swings, he&#8217;s on the phone with presidents of countries. &#8216;We&#8217;re going to need more money!'&#8221; Rogan said, mocking the casual tone Trump takes with serious matters. White jumped in, saying, &#8220;Yeah, that&#8217;s what somebody told me the other day. Is he playing checkers? Is he playing chess?&#8221; Then he answered his own question: &#8220;He&#8217;s playing golf!&#8221;
Rogan laughed and followed up with a jab: &#8220;He&#8217;s playing golf. Like, what does that mean? Everybody wants to think there&#8217;s some, like, grand plan to it.&#8221; He started to explain, &#8220;Well, they think the grand plan is&#8230;&#8221; before veering off to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44816385/joe-rogan-says-ross-perot-was-right-american-manufacturing-collapsed-because-greedy-executives-sent-jobs-ove">talk about Ross Perot</a> and the 1992 presidential elections.&nbsp;
Rogan has hosted political guests from all sides during the years and, despite mocking and criticizing Trump over the years, has endorsed him in the 2024 presidential elections.&nbsp;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Golf and the Tariff Fallout</h2>
Their exchange painted a picture of a president who appears more focused on his personal leisure than the serious economic signals flashing red. The timing of their comments aligned with Trump&#8217;s latest round of tariffs, announced just days earlier, that rocked the markets and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/04/44611151/recession-fears-surge-what-consumers-and-cfos-expect-how-it-could-impact-bitcoin-and-the-crypto-market">raised fears of a potential recession</a>. Experts say the tariffs are likely to drive up prices for American consumers and strain global trade relationships even further.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Lawmakers Push Back</h2>
The president&#8217;s tone didn't sit well with many lawmakers. Sen.

Joe Rogan Paints A Picture Of Trump: In Between Golf Swings, He's On The Phone With Other Presidents: 'We're Going To Need More Money!'

According to a latest report, insiders including&nbsp;Meta Platforms Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>)&#8217;s Mark Zuckerberg,&nbsp;Oracle Corp.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>)&#8217;s Safra Catz, and&nbsp;JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>)&#8217;s Jamie Dimon offloaded shares worth billions prior to President Donald Trump&#8216;s tariff declarations that sent shockwaves through the markets.
Zuckerberg,&nbsp;through his Chan Zuckerberg Initiative&nbsp;and its associated foundation, sold 1.1 million shares valued at $733 million in Q1. 
The sales took place&nbsp;in January and February when&nbsp;Meta's stock was still trading&nbsp;above $600. Since then, the share price has plummeted by 32% amid a wider market selloff, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-04-20/zuckerberg-dimon-are-among-top-sellers-ahead-of-tariff-stock-rout?srnd=homepage-americas&amp;sref=TBDibEcD">reports</a> Bloomberg. 
Oracle's CEO, Catz, was another significant seller, offloading&nbsp;3.8 million shares worth $705&nbsp;million before Oracle's stock fell by over 30%.&nbsp;Dimon, CEO of the largest&nbsp;US bank, sold about $234&nbsp;million of stock during the&nbsp;quarter.

The first quarter was a&nbsp;tumultuous period for markets. The uncertainty over tariffs leading up to April 2, Trump's so-called Liberation Day, prompted a selloff that wiped trillions off global markets. 
The world's richest person, Elon Musk,&nbsp;has seen his wealth tumble&nbsp;$129 billion this year as tariffs&nbsp;hit tech industry stocks hard.
Despite the selloff, some billionaire insiders are buying shares at depressed prices to increase their stakes.&nbsp;Insider selling overall was down&nbsp;compared with Q1&nbsp;of 2024, which saw 4,702&nbsp;insiders unload shares worth a&nbsp;total of $28.1 billion, compared&nbsp;with $15.5 billion from 3,867&nbsp;sellers this year, according to&nbsp;Washington Service.
These massive sales by insiders ahead of the tariff announcements raise questions about the timing and knowledge of the insiders. The significant drop in share prices following the tariff announcements has led to substantial losses for those who held onto their shares. 
However, it&#8217;s worth noting that insider selling was down compared to the same period in 2024, suggesting a more complex market dynamic at play.

Zuckerberg, Dimon Sold Shares Ahead Of Stock Rout Triggered By Trump Tariff Talk

JPMorgan (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>) has predicted that the ongoing tariff war initiated by President Donald Trump could lead to some agreements between the US and its trade partners, along with a significant rise in tax rates.
What Happened: The global investment strategy team at JPMorgan Wealth Management has projected that the effective tax rate could surge to between 10% and 20%, a marked increase from the 2% at the start of the year. This anticipated rise is in line with Wall Street&#8217;s estimates prior to &#8216;Liberation Day&#8217;.
President Trump has been advocating this protectionist shift as a robust negotiation strategy to secure improved trade deals.
According to the report <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/how-will-trump-trade-war-end-tariffs-recession-scenario-jpmorgan-2025-4">by</a> Insider, JPMorgan&#8217;s forecast suggests that by securing some deals and subsequently reducing the tariff rates to a 10%-to-20% baseline, the US could narrowly evade a recession.
However, the firm has also cautioned that factors like unemployment and inflation could still hamper economic growth.

For investors looking to navigate this unstable environment, JPMorgan proposes structured notes for defensive stock exposure and income generation via options premiums. 
The firm also indicates that hedge funds could take advantage of market mispricings and provide diversification during market downturns.
Why It Matters: The outcome of the trade war has significant implications for the global economy. The predicted agreements could potentially ease trade tensions and foster global economic stability. 
However, the anticipated rise in tax rates could increase the cost of goods, affecting consumers and businesses alike.
The possibility of avoiding a recession could bring relief to investors and the financial markets. However, the potential negative impacts of unemployment and inflation on economic growth remain a concern. 
JPMorgan&#8217;s recommendations for navigating this volatile environment could provide valuable insights for investors.

Donald Trump's Trade War: JPMorgan Predicts Deals, Higher Taxes and Potential Recession Avoidance

Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) has been under increasing scrutiny, and Ross Gerber isn't staying quiet. The CEO of Gerber Kawasaki Wealth and Investment Management voiced strong concerns in a recent Bloomberg <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqgGiOKrgLs">interview</a>, criticizing both Tesla's performance and its leadership.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">"Nobody's Made Any Money in Tesla For a Long Time"</h2>
Gerber says he still owns Tesla stock for clients, but he's frustrated by its direction.
"Tesla stock is down 40% this year," he said. "The performance is, I think, directly related to the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44140016/tesla-stock-is-tumbling-and-dave-portnoy-is-calling-out-elon-musk-how-far-does-tsla-stock-have-to-crash-before-elon-goes-back-to-work">CEO [Elon Musk] not working at the company</a> and his outside activities. I don&#8217;t like Elon. It&#8217;s personal; the way he does things. That&#8217;s true, and I don&#8217;t align with him morally, but that is irrelevant of my investment in Tesla.&#8221;

</ul>
He also added that nobody&#8217;s made any money in Tesla for a long time.
He believes Musk's political activity and shifting focus away from Tesla have hurt the brand and driven away customers. "You'd have to be blind not to see that Elon's behavior is highly political and highly damaging to the brand," he told Bloomberg.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">"I'm Getting Attacked Because of Elon's Behavior"</h2>
Gerber says the backlash he's received for voicing concerns is misdirected.
"I understand why retail investors at Tesla are frustrated with me," he told Bloomberg. "I find it horrible the fact that people are worried about having their vehicles vandalized, including me, because of Elon. I'm actually really getting attacked because of Elon's behavior."

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Concerns Over Leadership And The Board</h2>
Gerber's criticism extends beyond Musk. He's taken aim at Tesla's board of directors, calling them negligent. "The board is 100% responsible," he <a href="https://x.com/GerberKawasaki/status/1907428713358373363">posted</a> on X earlier this month.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Still Wants Tesla to Succeed</h2>
Despite the frustration, Gerber told Bloomberg he's still rooting for the company. "I want to see Tesla succeed. That's the whole purpose of why I say these things and get criticized," he said. "I am emotional about it because I love Tesla."
He also emphasized his commitment to climate action, saying Tesla remains a critical player in the push for sustainable energy. But he warned that unless leadership and messaging improve, the brand might struggle to recover.

'I Don't Like Elon. Nobody's Made Any Money In Tesla For A Long Time,' Says Ross Gerber, Claims He's 'Attacked Because Of Elon's Behavior'

Scott Galloway isn't pulling any punches. In the latest <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rntQzCvwwZA">episode</a> of the "Prof G Pod," the NYU professor and entrepreneur said April 9 will go down as "the greatest day of insider trading in history."
At the center of the storm is President Donald Trump's sudden decision to pause tariffs for most countries while simultaneously raising them on China. That announcement sent markets into a tailspin.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Wild Swings Spark Suspicion</h2>
Galloway&#8217;s co-host cited <a href="https://www.wsj.com/livecoverage/stock-market-trump-tariffs-trade-war-04-09-25">Wall Street Journal</a> reporting that on April 9, the Dow Jones jumped nearly 8%, the S&amp;P 500 rose almost 10%, and the Nasdaq had its best day in 24 years, climbing 12%. The so-called "Magnificent Seven" stocks gained $1.8 trillion in value.&nbsp;
But by April 10 afternoon, the rally fizzled when <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44755507/therell-be-a-transition-cost-and-transition-problems-admits-trump-amid-tariff-woes-while-bessent-hints-at-negotiation-deals">Trump raised China's tariff rate to 145%</a>. The Dow dropped 1,000 points, and the S&amp;P and Nasdaq gave back about 4% each.
&#8220;I think we&#8217;re going to find out that April 9th will go down in history as the greatest day of insider trading in history, where people were engaging in market manipulation and insider trading, trading on non-public material information because clearly, word got out,&#8221; he said.&nbsp;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Trading on a Wink and a Nod?</h2>
Galloway and co-host Ed Elson said the timing of large options trades points to something more than luck. Someone, they said, made millions by buying zero-day call options on the S&amp;P 500 just hours before Trump announced the tariff pause.
Those trades exploded in value &#8220;by more than 2,000%.&#8221; And they weren't subtle.
"People made and lost about a third of a billion dollars just on one strike price," Galloway said. "It was clear someone knew what was going to happen&#8230; In a digital world, there will be evidence of this."
The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44728524/adam-schiff-and-elizabeth-warren-call-for-investigation-into-possible-insider-trading-by-trump-allies-as-markets-surge-after-90-day-tariff-pause-it-sure-looks-like-corruption">Democratic lawmakers are now calling for an investigation</a>, and while the traders remain anonymous for now, Galloway is convinced the trades weren't based on guesswork. He suspects someone with knowledge of the decision tipped off friends or donors.
"April 9 is going to be D-Day for insider trading," Galloway said. &#8220;I think that will come out about a week after the next president is inaugurated. I think the SEC and forensic accountants are going to find that there was so much bad sh&#x2A;t that went down [that day].

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">When the Market Becomes a Meme</h2>
Beyond the trades, the podcast explored how much damage Trump's policy U-turns are doing to the U.S. economy. Elson said that &#8220;the president has turned our economy or our stock market into a meme stock&#8221; — surging and collapsing based on his tweets instead of company fundamentals.
They warned that while some traders might profit off volatility, average investors, especially those managing 401(k)s, got burned. April 7 was the fifth-largest 401(k) trading day in history, with many workers locking in losses by panic-selling during the dip.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Real Economy Is Slowing</h2>
Galloway also pointed out what's happening off Wall Street: Microsoft (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44733013/microsoft-shelves-1-billion-ohio-data-center-plans-amid-global-project-withdrawals-we-are-slowing-or-pausing-some-early-stage-projects">shelved a $1 billion data center project</a> in Ohio. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44635537/horrifying-consequence-of-trumps-tariffs-schumer-blames-trump-tariffs-for-stellantis-layoffs">Stellantis paused production</a> in Canada and Mexico, resulting in 900 U.S. layoffs.

China plans to reduce imports of American films, which brought in $585 million last year alone.

'How To Trade In This Volatility?' An Investor Asked. The Advice? 'You're On A Drunken Horse Headed For A Burning Barn. Trade Accordingly'

In the midst of a broad tariff agenda that has caused turmoil in financial markets, President Donald Trump is relying on a diverse group of economic advisers to guide his policies.
What Happened: The team comprises of Treasury Secretary&nbsp;Scott Bessent, Senior Trade Adviser&nbsp;Peter Navarro, Commerce Secretary&nbsp;Howard Lutnick, Director of the National Economic Council&nbsp;Kevin Hassett, and U.S. Trade Representative&nbsp;Jamieson Greer. 
These advisers, each with unique backgrounds and perspectives, are instrumental in shaping and executing Trump&#8217;s economic strategies.
According to the report <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5256332-trump-economic-advisers/">by </a>The Hill, Bessent, a reliable figure among&nbsp;Republican lawmakers and Wall Street&nbsp;executives, is at the forefront of trade deal negotiations. 
Navarro, a staunch Trump loyalist, echoes the President&#8217;s firm stance on tariffs.&nbsp;Lutnick, a longtime friend of&nbsp;Trump&#8217;s, plays a crucial role in the administration&#8217;s tariff rollouts, despite his media appearances causing occasional disruptions.

Hassett, essentially Trump&#8217;s chief economic adviser, is tasked with defending the president&#8217;s economic proposals. Greer, although lesser-known, is a pivotal figure in trade talks, serving&nbsp;as the U.S. Trade Representative.
Insiders suggest that Trump&#8217;s preference for officials with differing views is not uncommon, as he ultimately makes the final decisions on tariffs, trade, and the economy. However, these top economic aides have been thrust into the limelight as economists caution about potential repercussions from Trump&#8217;s policies.
Why It Matters: The diversity of Trump&#8217;s economic team reflects his approach to policy-making, which often involves taking into account a range of viewpoints before making a final decision. The team&#8217;s varied backgrounds and perspectives could potentially lead to a more comprehensive and balanced economic strategy. 
However, the potential fallout from Trump&#8217;s policies, as warned by economists, underscores the high stakes involved in these decisions. The team&#8217;s ability to navigate these challenges will be crucial in shaping the future of the U.S. economy.

Meet the Key Five People Who Are Shaping Trump's Economic Agenda

Dave Ramsey has built a financial empire and has clear rules of how he intends to pass the money on to his children. That's why it made sense when a husband called into "The Ramsey Show" to discuss the inheritance he's accumulating for his four daughters.
The husband calculates that by the time he and his wife retire, they will have a nest egg that ranges from $8 million to $12 million. Ramsey congratulated the couple, but the call shifted into determining <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gK2DFOT4FGo">how much money to give to the children.</a>

<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>
The caller was looking for biblical guidance and doesn't want to spoil his children when it's time to give them the money. Although there is a misconception that the Bible teaches that money is evil, Ramsey nipped it in the bud.
"A Godly man leaves an inheritance to his children's children," Ramsey said during the call. That's not just his personal opinion, either. It's deeply rooted in the Bible.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Prepare Your Children For The Responsibility</h2>
Ramsey starts his suggestions by saying that the couple can teach the children how to manage the inheritance while the couple is still alive.&nbsp;
The daughters range from seven to 13 years old, so there is still plenty of time to instill good money habits. Ramsey said that you aren't required to give them an inheritance, but he also said to the husband that an inheritance isn't going to damage them. The husband seems to have believed that previously, and Ramsey continued to break this myth.
"Wealth magnifies the character of the person," Ramsey explained. Someone who has a good character will be able to manage the money more effectively. However, bad people end up becoming even worse once they have money.

Ramsey goes on to mention that he told his children that they were not entitled to anything. Instead, they had to have a spiritual understanding of the wealth to be qualified to manage it. Ramsey views wealth as something that you do not own. You get to manage money, but God owns it.&nbsp;
Wealth is heavy to carry and comes with a lot of responsibility. Ramsey told the couple to teach their children now so they will be ready to handle that responsibility when the time arrives.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Make Sure They Are Qualified</h2>
Ramsey also said that the couple should cut any child out of the will who isn't qualified to manage the money. He said he would have done that with his own children if they weren't qualified to manage the money.
Since Ramsey views an inheritance as managing God's money, he wants to make sure his children follow the lessons in the Bible. Faith and spirituality are core components of how Ramsey approaches finances, and he wants his children to embrace that as well. All of his children have gone on to become adults who manage their finances responsibly.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Temple Of God Was Built With An Inheritance</h2>
The underlying context of the call is that the husband wanted to make sure it was biblically acceptable to give his daughters a large inheritance once the couple passed away.That's why the call included biblical references, including dispelling the myth that the Bible says that money is the root of all evil.
Ramsey breaks this common concern by reminding people that Solomon used the inheritance he received from David to build the First Temple in Jerusalem. Ramsey estimates that the temple cost $10 billion to $20 billion in current money to build.
"God uses families that have character generationally to manage His goods," Ramsey said when bringing up Solomon and David.

A High Net Worth Couple Asks Dave Ramsey If Their Kids' Inheritance Is Too Big: 'A Godly Man Leaves An Inheritance To His Children's Children'

Shaquille O&#8217;Neal, the basketball legend, has recently revealed a career-defining regret in his autobiography. He admitted to not following the advice of his coach, Phil Jackson, which could have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/25/03/44348149/shaq-once-spent-1-million-in-a-day-on-luxury-then-realized-taxes-took-a-huge-cut">potentially extended his career.</a>
What Happened: After winning his third consecutive NBA championship with the Los Angeles Lakers in 2002, O&#8217;Neal was battling a serious toe problem. O&#8217;Neal expressed regret in his <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Shaq-Uncut-Story-Shaquille-ONeal/dp/B00BJDM1HM">autobiography</a> for not taking Jackson&#8217;s advice regarding a surgery that could have prolonged his career.
&#8220;He told me, &#8216;If you get this done right, you can play until you&#8217;re forty.&#8217; I wish I had listened to him,&#8221; O&#8217;Neal said in his autobiography. 
&#8220;I had hallux rigidus, which is a disorder of the joint located at the base of the big toe. It&#8217;s a form of degenerative arthritis,&#8221; he added in his memoir.
As per the report <a href="https://www.basketballnetwork.net/old-school/shaquille-oneal-regrets-not-following-phil-jackson-advice-that-couldve-extended-his-career">by</a> Basketball Network, O&#8217;Neal, despite his exceptional athleticism and towering height, was suffering from hallux rigidus, a type of degenerative arthritis that affects the joint at the base of the big toe. 
The condition had deteriorated to the point where surgery was unavoidable, leading to a critical decision about the type of procedure to undertake.
Phil Jackson, the renowned coach who had steered O&#8217;Neal&#8217;s growth from a promising talent to an indomitable force on the court, recommended a more comprehensive surgery.

This operation, frequently performed on ballet dancers who are familiar with severe toe pain, offered a more lasting solution but required an extended recovery period.
However, during intense contract negotiations with the Lakers, O&#8217;Neal opted for a less invasive surgery, fearing that a long recovery could undermine his negotiation position. 
He now acknowledges that this decision was a mistake. His toe problem continued, and he returned to the court not at his best, eventually leading to his trade to the Miami Heat in mid-2004.
Why It Matters: O&#8217;Neal&#8217;s revelation underscores the importance of health decisions in the career of professional athletes. His choice to prioritize contract negotiations over his long-term health had a significant impact on his career trajectory. 
This serves as a reminder to current and future athletes about the importance of considering long-term health implications when making career decisions.;

억만장자 기업가인 리처드 브랜슨(Richard Branson)은 최근 팟캐스트에서 자신의 가장 중대한 사업 실패인 버진 콜라(Virgin Cola)와 그것이 전한 중요한 교훈을 공개했다.
무슨 일이 (What Happened): 버진 그룹(Virgin Group)의 창립자인 브랜슨은 &#8216;아담 그랜트의 워크라이프(Work-Life With Adam Grant)&#8217; <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/qa/podcast/richard-branson-on-saying-yes-now-and-figuring-it-out-later/id1346314086?i=1000659299425">팟캐스트</a>에서 1994년 자신의 회사가 출시한 탄산음료인 버진 콜라의 실패가 그에게 귀중한 교훈을 주었다고 밝혔다. 영국에서의 초기 성공에도 불구하고 제품은 특히 미국 시장에서 입지를 유지하지 못하여 결국 폐업하게 되었다.
브랜슨은 업계 거대 기업들인 코카콜라(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KO#NYSE">KO</a>)와 펩시(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PEP#NASDAQ">PEP</a>)에 도전하기 위한 버진 콜라의 실패를 통해 자신을 약자로 보는 것이 중요하다는 점을 배웠다고 말했다.
"사람들은 약자를 아주 좋아한다"고 그가 말했다. &#8220;항상 성공한 똑똑한 사람이 되기를 원하는 것은 아니다.&#8221; 실패 후 다시 시도하는 것이 핵심이라고 그가 말했다.
"정말 재미있었고 브랜드에 어떤 해를 끼치지도 않았으며 우리에게 몇 가지 교훈을 가르쳐 주었다. 내 생각에 가장 중요한 교훈은 거인과 맞서려면 그들보다 훨씬 더 나은 사람이 되어야 한다는 것이었다"고 이 억만장자가 목요일에 발표된 팟캐스트에 덧붙였다.
왜 중요한가 (Why It Matters): 브랜슨의 버진 그룹은 음악, 항공기, 우주 여행 등 다양한 분야에서 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39542884/virgin-group-co-founder-richard-branson-reveals-the-worst-career-advice-he-ever-received" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">400개 이상의 회사들</a>을 관리한다. 그의 인기 회사들로는 버진 애틀랜틱 항공(Virgin Atlantic Airlines)과 우주 관광 회사인 버진 갤럭틱(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPCE#NYSE">SPCE</a>)이 있다.
그러나 버진 콜라와 버진 카스(Virgin Cars)를 포함하여 그의 사업 벤처들 중 일부도 실패했다. 브랜슨의 로켓 회사인 버진 오빗(Virgin Orbit)은 2021년에 기업 가치가 40억 달러로 상장되었음에도 불구하고 작년에 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/04/31648397/richard-bransons-space-dreams-crash-as-virgin-orbit-files-for-bankruptcy">파산</a>했다.
포브스(Forbes)에 따르면 브랜슨의 순자산은 26억 달러다.

억만장자 리처드 브랜슨은 한때 코카콜라와 경쟁을 시도, '가장 주목할 만한 실패'라고 언급
