Live On CNBC: Brad Gerstner Buys CPNG

President Donald Trump's sweeping new trade tariffs sent shockwaves through global markets on Thursday, triggering a massive sell-off that echoed the COVID-19 pandemic-era routs, as investor risk <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets">appetite vanished in a flash.</a>
Wall Street saw a staggering $2 trillion in market cap erased, with the U.S.&#8217;s biggest 10 companies shedding $1 trillion alone.
Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) plunged 8.7%, staring down its worst day since March 2020 and wiping out nearly $300 billion in value. NVIDIA Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) tumbled 6.4%, losing $171.9 billion, while Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) dropped 8%, on pace for a $166 billion hit.

The S&amp;P 500 fell nearly 4%, poised for its worst session since September 2022, and sank to a seven-month low. Small caps took the brunt of the sell-off, with the Russell 2000 plunging over 5% and officially entering a bear market, now down more than 20% from its 2024 peak.
Fears of retaliatory action from key U.S. trading partners dragged every major sector into the red, except for defensive plays like consumer staples and utilities.
Consumer discretionary stocks were slammed. Apparel names posted double-digit losses: Ralph Lauren Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RL#NYSE">RL</a>), Nike Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NKE#NYSE">NKE</a>), Lululemon Athletica Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LULU#NASDAQ">LULU</a>) and Garmin Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GRMN#NYSE">GRMN</a>) each dropped between 10% and 16%.
Cruise lines were also hit hard: Norwegian Cruise Holdings Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NCLH#NYSE">NCLH</a>) sank 13%, Carnival Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CCL#NYSE">CCL</a>) fell 10%, and Royal Caribbean Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RCL#NYSE">RCL</a>) slid 9%.
Bond markets saw a mild flight to safety. Treasury yields edged lower, yet the U.S. dollar weakened 1.6%, with the DXY index heading for its worst day since November 2022.
Commodities weren't spared. Oil prices nosedived on fears of a global slowdown, worsened by OPEC+'s surprise move to raise output. West Texas Intermediate crude plunged 7.5%, slipping below $70 per barrel.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) showed relative resilience in the carnage, dipping just 1% and holding above $81,600.

Fed Vice Chair Jefferson Says: No Need To Be In A Hurry On Policy Rate Adjustments;  Current Policy Rate Well-Positioned to Deal With Risks, Uncertainties; Could Retain Current Policy Restraint for Longer, Or Ease Policy, Depending On Inflation Progress And Job Market; Policy Rate Is Now Somewhat Restrictive

<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" src="https://thearorareport.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/2025-04-03_08h50_39.png" alt="" /></figure>
To gain an edge, this is what you need to know today.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Great Buying Opportunity Ahead</h4>
Please <a href="https://thearorareport.com/stock-market-chart-analysis-tariffs-future-buying-opportunity-stagflation-spy-mc-04032025">click here </a>for an enlarged chart of SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (SPY) which represents the benchmark stock market index S&amp;P 500 (SPX).
Note the following:
<ul>
<li>The chart shows the stock market has barely broken below the low band of support zone 1. &nbsp; If the stock market continues lower, support zone 1 will become a resistance zone.</li>
<li>The chart shows a positive RSI divergence.&nbsp; This indicates the internal momentum of the stock market is not as negative as the price indicates.&nbsp; This is a positive.</li>
<li>On April 1, we shared with readers:</li>
<li>In our analysis, how the market behaves after Trump&#8217;s reveal will come down to the difference between expectations about tariffs that are built into the market and what Trump reveals.
<ul>
<li>If the tariffs Trump reveals are less onerous than market expectations, the stock market will go up.</li>
<li>If the tariffs Trump reveals are more onerous than market expectations, the stock market will go down.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>The tariffs President Trump imposed are worse than market expectations.</li>
<li>In our analysis, the tariffs President Trump imposed may raise about $700B.  Market expectations were for $200B &#8211; $300B.  </li>
<li>In our analysis, these tariffs, if sustained, will provide a great buying opportunity in the long term, but first, investors must cross the stagflation chasm.  </li>
<li>Investors should think in terms of four separate buckets:
<ul>
<li>Long term strategic positions</li>
<li>Tactical positions</li>
<li>Hedges</li>
<li>Short term trades</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>It is not appropriate to start any strategic positions at this time from the long side.&nbsp; Tentatively, if the stock market reaches support zone 2 shown on the chart, that may be a time to start thinking about strategic positions.&nbsp; The ideal time to start strategic positions will be if the stock market goes into support zone 3 shown on the chart.</li>
<li>Will the stock market go to support zones 2 and 3?&nbsp; This will depend on President Trump and the Fed.&nbsp; Here are the two key questions:
<ul>
<li>Now that President Trump has taken the big step of imposing tariffs, will he have the nerve to sustain them?</li>
<li>Will the Fed have the spine to do the right thing by not significantly lowering interest rates.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>In The our analysis, in the longer term, if these tariffs are sustained and other countries retaliate, stagflation will likely take hold and the stock market will go lower.  If capitulation occurs, from a longer term perspective, that will be a buying opportunity for strategic positions.  </li>
<li>Our portfolios are well situated based on 360 degree analysis using the adaptive <a href="https://thearorareport.com/ALLOCATION%2BMODELS.htm">ZYX Asset Allocation Model </a>with inputs in ten categories.  As full disclosure, many individual positions are hedged.  Here is a great example
<ul>
<li>The latest increase in hedges on Apple Inc (AAPL) were on February 5 and March 4. On March 4, we wrote:</li>
<li>&#8220;In Trump&#8217;s first administration, Apple was able to get a carve out for China tariffs.&nbsp; As of this writing, it appears that there is no carve out for Apple at this time.&#8221;</li>
<li>Apple has been trying to diversify its manufacturing outside China in India and Vietnam.  This has not turned out for Apple as it had imagined &#8211; tariffs are 54% on China, 46% on Vietnam, and 26% on India.  In our analysis, the impact of tariffs on Apple will be over $30B.  If Apple decides to raise prices by about $10B and takes a $20B hit, Apple earnings will be cut by about 15%.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>At the high end, the protection band protects up to 50% of long term portfolios.&nbsp; As of today, the protection band is not being raised for five reasons:
<ul>
<li>It is not known how the Fed will react.  If the Fed decides to make an emergency rate cut, the stock market may rally.  In The our analysis, such a move on the Fed&#8217;s part would be very unwise and add to stagflationary pressures, instead of relieving them.  If the Fed cuts rates and there is a rally, the tentative plan is to use the rally to add to the protection band.  </li>
<li>Prudent investors should pay attention to Treasury Secretary Bessent&#8217;s statement that the tariffs are the "high water mark" unless other countries retaliate.  Bessent is taking a "wait and see" approach.  In our analysis, investors should ignore the rhetoric coming out of other countries and instead look at the meat of what other countries do.  For example, to date, China has had very strong rhetoric, but the meat of China&#8217;s response has been very weak.  Protection band changes will depend on the response from other countries.</li>
<li>Momo gurus are urging their followers to buy the dip.&nbsp; If the momo crowd buys and smart money does not sell, there is potential for a bounce.&nbsp; The potential for a bounce cannot be ignored.</li>
<li>President Trump&#8217;s tax cuts, large cost reduction, and deregulation are ahead.&nbsp; All three of these will be positive and may cause sharp rallies.</li>
<li>Positive RSI divergence shown on the chart.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Initial jobless claims came at 219K vs. 224K consensus. Today, this data is being overshadowed by tariffs.</li>
<li>ISM Services Index will be released at 10am ET and may be market moving.</li>
<li>The jobs report, known as the mother of all numbers, will be released tomorrow at 8:30am ET.</li>
</ul>
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Magnificent Seven Money Flows</h4>
In the early trade, money flows are negative in AAPL, Amazon.com, Inc. (AMZN), Alphabet Inc Class C (GOOG), Meta Platforms Inc (META), Microsoft Corp (MSFT), NVIDIA Corp (NVDA), and Tesla Inc (TSLA).
In the early trade, money flows are negative in S&amp;P 500 ETF (SPY) and Invesco QQQ Trust Series 1 (QQQ).
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Momo Crowd And Smart Money In Stocks</h4>
Investors can gain an edge by knowing money flows in SPY and QQQ.  Investors can get a bigger edge by knowing when smart money is buying stocks, gold, and oil.  The most popular ETF for gold is SPDR Gold Trust (GLD).  The most popular ETF for silver is iShares Silver Trust (SLV).  The most popular ETF for oil is United States Oil ETF (USO).
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Bitcoin</h4>
Bitcoin is range bound.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Protection Band And What To Do Now</h4>
It is important for investors to look ahead and not in the rearview mirror.  Our proprietary protection band puts all of the data, all of the indicators, all of the news, all of the crosscurrents, all of the models, and all of the analysis in an analytical framework that is easily actionable by investors.
Consider continuing to hold good, very long term, existing positions. Based on individual risk preference, consider a protection band consisting of cash or Treasury bills or short-term tactical trades as well as short to medium term hedges and short term hedges. This is a good way to protect yourself and participate in the upside at the same time.
You can determine your protection bands by adding cash to hedges.&nbsp; The high band of the protection is appropriate for those who are older or conservative. The low band of the protection is appropriate for those who are younger or aggressive.&nbsp; If you do not hedge, the total cash level should be more than stated above but significantly less than cash plus hedges.
A protection band of 0% would be very bullish and would indicate full investment with 0% in cash.&nbsp; A protection band of 100% would be very bearish and would indicate a need for aggressive protection with cash and hedges or aggressive short selling.
It is worth reminding that you cannot take advantage of new upcoming opportunities if you are not holding enough cash.&nbsp; When adjusting hedge levels, consider adjusting partial stop quantities for stock positions (non ETF); consider using wider stops on remaining quantities and also allowing more room for high beta stocks.&nbsp; High beta stocks are the ones that move more than the market.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Traditional 60/40 Portfolio</h4>
Probability based risk reward adjusted for inflation does not favor long duration strategic bond allocation at this time.
Those who want to stick to traditional 60% allocation to stocks and 40% to bonds may consider focusing on only high quality bonds and bonds of five year duration or less.&nbsp; Those willing to bring sophistication to their investing may consider using bond ETFs as tactical positions and not strategic positions at this time.

Shares of companies within the broader communication services sector are trading lower as markets react to President Trump's announcement of sweeping tariffs.

There is a quiet race happening on the global stage—and it does not involve fighter jets or financial markets. It is happening on highways, train tracks, and city streets. The U.S. and China are going head-to-head to define the future of transportation, and the winner could reshape everything from global trade routes to how everyday people move.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">China's Rapid Rise: Building First, Asking Later</h3>
China's approach to transportation innovation has been nothing short of aggressive. Over the last two decades, the country has constructed the world's largest high-speed rail network—over 40,000 kilometers of sleek, bullet-fast connectivity. Cities that used to be separated by full-day bus rides are now a couple of hours apart by train.
And it doesn't stop at rail. China's investment in next-gen transportation is sprawling: electric buses, smart traffic systems, AI-driven logistics, and Maglev trains that almost float above the tracks at over 370 mph. The country treats infrastructure not just as a utility but as a branding tool for global influence.
With strong government backing, projects move quickly—no multi-year permitting gridlocks. No death-by-committee. Just build it, scale it, and ship the blueprint abroad.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">The U.S.: Innovation Hub, Infrastructure Hurdles</h3>
Meanwhile, the U.S.—still a powerhouse of innovation—isn't moving as fast on the physical side of transportation. Tech companies in Silicon Valley are developing autonomous vehicles and urban air taxis, but translating those breakthroughs into working, everyday systems is a different challenge.
Take the high-speed rail. The U.S. has been talking about bullet trains for decades. California's high-speed rail project was meant to be a game-changer, but it is now infamous for cost overruns and endless delays. The gap between vision and execution is wide and growing.
Still, America leads in areas like electric vehicle innovation (think Tesla) and aerospace development. And with the recent Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, the government is finally starting to inject serious funding into roads, railways, and EV infrastructure.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Where the Two Nations Collide (and Diverge)</h3>
Here is how the race is shaping up:
<ul>
<li>High-Speed Rail: China builds. The U.S. plans.</li>
<li>Electric Vehicles: The U.S. leads on innovation. China leads in manufacturing.</li>
<li>Smart Cities: China integrates AI at scale. The U.S. experiments locally.</li>
<li>Autonomous Tech: U.S. startups push boundaries. China scales faster due to lighter regulations.</li>
</ul>
It is not that one is clearly ahead across the board. It is more like watching two very different strategies unfold: centralized speed vs. decentralized creativity.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Beyond Tech: This Is About Influence</h3>
Here's what's really at stake: whoever dominates the transportation sector sets the tone for how people and goods move globally. That means control over trade routes, infrastructure deals, and international standards.
China is exporting its transportation playbook—literally. From Southeast Asia to Africa, Chinese firms are building railways and metro systems, forming tight economic relationships in the process. This isn't just about trains. It's about long-term political and economic leverage.
The U.S., on the other hand, has historically exported ideas and innovation. But if those ideas don't translate into physical systems that move people and cargo efficiently, the influence starts to wane.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What Needs to Change</h3>
For the U.S. to stay competitive, it has to rethink how it builds. That means:
<ul>
<li>Cutting through bureaucracy that slows major projects to a crawl</li>
<li>Incentivizing private-public collaboration (without turning it into a political circus)</li>
<li>Strengthening domestic manufacturing of EV and smart tech components</li>
<li>Creating a unified national transportation strategy—not 50 different ones</li>
</ul>
This isn't about copying China. It's about playing to America's strengths: bold thinking, rapid innovation, and a knack for building what hasn't been built before.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">The Bottom Line: The Clock Is Ticking</h3>
Transportation is not just about moving people. It's about moving economies, ideas, and influence. The next decade will determine whether China keeps pulling ahead or whether the U.S. can rally and respond with purpose.
This isn't a race that either country can afford to lose. Because how we move tomorrow will shape how we live, trade, and compete for the next 100 years.

The Future of Transportation: US vs. China—A Race for Global Supremacy

President Donald Trump on Wednesday announced a slew of tougher-than-anticipated tariffs, but there are some <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/2025/03/fact-sheet-president-donald-j-trump-addresses-the-threat-to-national-security-from-imports-of-timber-lumber-and-their-derivative-products/">notable exemptions</a> to the steep levies.&nbsp;
Here's a look at which products and sectors are excluded <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/04/44626421/trumps-reign-of-tariffs-unleashes-d-day-on-wall-street-analyst-warns-of-stagflation-risk">from the reciprocal tariffs:&nbsp;</a>
Semiconductors: Semiconductors were exempted from the sweeping new tariffs due to their critical role in many technologies. However, the sector was deep in the red in Thursday's trading with shares of Broadcom, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>) down 6.78% and ASML Holding N.V. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASML#NASDAQ">ASML</a>) down 3.69%.&nbsp;

Pharmaceuticals: Trump excluded pharmaceuticals from the new tariffs, likely a relief for the industry that had been under pressure following the president's prior comments suggesting a 25% tariff on pharmaceutical imports.&nbsp;
"The United States can no longer produce enough antibiotics to treat our sick," Trump said Wednesday. "We have a tremendous problem, we have to go to foreign countries to treat our sick. If anything ever happened from a war standpoint, we wouldn't be able to do it."
Pharmaceutical stocks are defying Thursday's broad market drop with shares of AbbVie Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ABBV#NYSE">ABBV</a>) and Johnson &amp; Johnson (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JNJ#NYSE">JNJ</a>) both in the green in mid-morning trading. 
Lumber: Lumber is another product excluded from Trump's tariff plan, for now. The administration said it is investigating how reliance on imported lumber impacts national security and economic stability. Exemptions have been granted to avoid immediate disruptions in supply chains critical to construction and defense in the meantime.&nbsp;
Gold, Copper: Certain metals and minerals including copper, gold and others not found in the U.S. were also exempted from the reciprocal tariff plan.&nbsp;
Gold dropped more than 3%, falling below $3,060 per ounce on Thursday after touching a new record high above $3,160. The SPDR Gold Trust ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLD#NYSE">GLD</a>), tracking the price of gold, was down only slightly, bucking the broader market declines.&nbsp;
Energy: Oil, gas and refined products imports were exempted from the sweeping new reciprocal tariffs, the White House said on Wednesday.&nbsp;
Shares of the United States Oil Fund ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USO#NYSE">USO</a>) fell 7.8% on Thursday, however, as the sweeping tariff plan could threaten global demand.&nbsp;

Trump's Tariff Exemptions Include Semiconductors, Pharmaceuticals, Oil And More

<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44209579/unprecedented-slide-tesla-sales-plummet-45-in-europe-as-musks-net-worth-dives-5-2b-in-a-week">Tesla</a>'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) stock has taken a nosedive since President Donald Trump took office—but Elon Musk's privately held companies are on a wild upward ride.&nbsp;
Investors in secondary markets have driven up the combined valuation of four Musk-led companies by 45% since the Nov. 5 election, according to analysis from trading platform Caplight, as cited by <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-03-12/musk-s-private-companies-soar-in-secondary-market-value-since-the-us-election?embedded-checkout=true">Bloomberg</a>.&nbsp;
The analysis relies on data from secondary transactions and market indicators, such as buyer interest, to provide daily share price estimates for SpaceX, Neuralink, The Boring Company, and xAI, reflecting strong investor confidence.

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Private Ventures Surging</h2>
Musk's artificial intelligence startup xAI has been the biggest driver of these gains. According to&nbsp; <a href="https://www.thetimes.com/business-money/companies/article/spacex-stock-elon-musk-worth-397cqgt89?msockid=0d686cb695db6f2a207779cd945e6e29">The Times of London</a> on Dec. 11, xAI reached a $50 billion valuation, nearly doubling its worth from six months ago, with the valuation occurring earlier in Dec.
​According to <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/elon-musk-xai-targets-usd75b-valuation-with-potential-usd10b-capital-raise-report-says-11680443">Investopedia</a>, xAI is planning to raise $10 billion from investors, which would increase its valuation to $75 billion. This potential funding round reflects growing interest in AI startups. It highlights xAI's rapid expansion as it competes with industry leaders in developing advanced AI technologies.
Shares of Neuralink, Musk's brain chip implant company, have also risen; they are trading at a valuation that is 25% higher as of March 11 compared to Nov. 5, according to Caplight, as cited by the <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/03/12/business/elon-musks-private-companies-xai-spacex-see-values-soar">New York Post</a>.
Trending: Hasbro, MGM, and Skechers trust this AI marketing firm — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/rad-intel">invest pre-IPO from $0.55 per share now</a>.
Recently, secondary market transactions suggest Neuralink&#8217;s valuation has reached approximately $9.32 billion, reflecting increased investor interest, as reported by <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-03-12/musk-s-private-companies-soar-in-secondary-market-value-since-the-us-election">Bloomberg</a>. More than a third of Musk's wealth is tied up in his stake in rocket company SpaceX.&nbsp;
Despite Tesla's public share price struggles, SpaceX continues to attract buyers willing to pay a premium over its most recent tender offer price, according to Caplight CEO Javier Avalos, the Post said.&nbsp;
However, not all of Musk's ventures have experienced upward trends. According to the <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/03/12/business/elon-musks-private-companies-xai-spacex-see-values-soar/">Post</a>, The Boring Company, his tunnel-digging enterprise, saw a 7.8% decline in secondary market valuation since the election. Meanwhile, shares of Neuralink, his brain chip implant company, were 25% higher as of March 11 compared to Nov. 5, reinforcing a mixed picture across <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/25/02/43483655/elon-musk-is-all-in-on-trump-tesla-investors-holding-600000-shares-question-if-he-can-still-run-a-1-25-trillion-company">Musk</a>'s portfolio.

If They Could Show A Plan For Ending World Hunger He'd Donate $6 Billion – ‘I Will Sell Tesla Stock Right Now And Do It'</a>
Despite challenges, investor interest in Musk's social media platform X remains strong. Although Caplight omitted X from its analysis due to "very limited" secondary market activity, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-02-19/musk-s-x-is-in-talks-to-raise-money-at-a-44-billion-valuation?sref=MTy2GeXk&amp;embedded-checkout=true">Bloomberg</a> reports that X was exploring new funding at a $44 billion valuation—the same amount Musk paid for the company when it was known as Twitter.&nbsp;
On March 28, <a href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1905731750275510312">Musk announced on X </a>that his AI company, xAI, acquired social-media platform X in an all-stock transaction. The deal values xAI at $80 billion and X at $33 billion.The move aims to integrate xAI&#8217;s advanced AI capabilities with X&#8217;s extensive user base, enhancing the platform&#8217;s innovation and user engagement, he said.&nbsp;
