Insights From Analysts:
Highlighting that the S&amp;P 500 index continues to be in a bull market, which began in October 2022, Ryan Detrick from Carson Research said in an X post that the third year of a bull market is mostly &#8220;choppy,&#8221; based on historical data.
Detrick said that, based on his 50-year analysis, five past bull markets persisted for at least this duration, with the shortest of those lasting a full five years.
"The five bulls that made it into year 3 tended to see chop and frustration at some point," he said, adding, "That's the bad news. The good news is once you get past that (and I think we did this time), better times are coming."

Furthermore, he drew attention to the 11-year bull market that ran from March 2009 to February 2020, pointing out its encounter with a near-bear market midway through its third year.
"This current bull market had a near bear market in the middle of year 3," he said, talking about the ongoing bull market which began in October 2022.

Meanwhile, Louis Navellier of Navellier &amp; Associates explained that June is the time for Russell's annual index realignment. Every Friday in June, Russell announces its proposed Russell 1000 and 2000 index changes, which are fine-tuned each week.
The stocks that are added to both the Russell 1000 and 2000 indices naturally benefit from index accumulation and the institutional managers that like to "track" indices.
&#8220;After Friday, June 27th, the Russell index realignment will be finalized, and many stocks being added to the Russell indices will &#8216;pop&#8217; on Monday, June 30th,&#8221; he said.
Talking about his expectation from the May&#8217;s inflation print, he said, &#8220;It will be interesting if the deflationary forces in the past few months persist, since that would put more pressure on the Fed to cut key interest rates.
&#8220;There are also Treasury bond auctions on Wednesday and Thursday that will be carefully monitored, especially the bid-to-cover ratios and the "tail" on the auctions that could cause bond yields to rise,&#8221; he stated.

US Stocks Likely To Open Lower Ahead Of May Inflation Report: S&P 500 Still In A 31-Month-Long Bull Market, 'Better Times Are Coming,' Says Expert

Gary Black, a seasoned Wall Street investor, has made a significant shift in his investment strategy. Black, who recently sold off his remaining shares in&nbsp;Tesla Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), is now focusing&nbsp;on what he sees as&nbsp;major opportunities in big tech.
What Happened: Black, the managing partner at Future Fund LLC, recently divested his Tesla holdings amid valuation concerns, helping clients avoid a selloff triggered by a public dispute between CEO Elon Musk and President Donald Trump. Black, in an <a href="https://www.marketwatch.com/story/fund-manager-who-sold-tesla-just-in-time-says-investors-are-overlooking-these-tech-bargains-3cc91ad2">interview </a>with Market Watch, revealed that he has now turned his attention to what he considers to be significant opportunities in big tech, such as Nvidia (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), Meta (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), Amazon (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) and DoorDash (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DASH#NASDAQ">DASH</a>).
Black&#8217;s investment approach begins with identifying &#8220;ten long-term circular mega trends,&#8221; including e-commerce, 24/7 information technology, and artificial intelligence (AI). 
He is particularly bullish on Nvidia due to its AI roadmap and high demand for its high-end AI chips. Despite Tesla&#8217;s recent decline, Black believes Nvidia, with a forward earnings multiple of around 32 times, is a more attractive investment.
Meta is another major position in Black&#8217;s portfolio, with its growth in Instagram and Facebook. Amazon&#8217;s expanded offerings and DoorDash&#8217;s increasing restaurant partnerships also make them appealing investments, according to Black.
Despite the ongoing market rally, Black remains optimistic about the market&#8217;s future, anticipating that the Federal Reserve will likely begin cutting interest rates, albeit not as rapidly as Trump would prefer.
&#8220;&#8230;there are areas where people are just getting overly exuberant about prospects. And that&#8217;s always negative,&#8221;&nbsp;cautioned Black.

Discovery CEO David Zaslav, Saying He&#8217;s Created &#8216;Zero Value&#8217; After The Conglomerate Announced Plans To Split Into Two Companies By 2026</a>
Why It Matters: Black&#8217;s shift in investment strategy reflects the evolving landscape of the tech market. Big tech companies have been driving significant market gains, with the&nbsp;Magnificent 7 stocks <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/06/45786854/magnificent-7-drive-54-of-market-cap-gains-in-sp-500-since-april-lows-the-market-cannot-survive-without-big-tech">leading nearly</a> 55% of the S&amp;P 500's market capitalization recovery&nbsp;since the April lows.
Black&#8217;s move also aligns with the broader trend of tech megacaps dominating the market. In May 2025, the&nbsp;Magnificent Seven added <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/new-etfs/25/06/45722678/magnificent-seven-closed-a-blockbuster-may-added-nearly-2-trillion-in-market-value">nearly $2 trillion</a> in market value, marking their strongest monthly performance in years. This trend underscores the enduring appeal of big tech companies, making them attractive investment opportunities, as recognized by Black&#8217;s recent portfolio adjustments.
Roundhill Magnificent Seven ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MAGS#BATS">MAGS</a>), which invests in Magnificent Seven stocks, surged 24.20% over the past year, according to data from <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro.</a>

Why Pro Investor Gary Black Ditched Tesla To Bet On Nvidia, Amazon, Meta And DoorDash?

Qualcomm Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QCOM#NASDAQ">QCOM</a>) has launched an artificial intelligence research and development <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/vietnam" rel="noreferrer noopener">center in Vietnam</a>.

Qualcomm Taps Vietnam For Next-Gen AI Push, Joining Apple And Nvidia In Supply Chain Shakeup

OpenAI chief executive Sam Altman says that a ChatGPT query consumes roughly 0.34 watt-hours of electricity, which is &#8220;about what an oven would use in a little over one second."
What Happened: Altman, in a blog <a href="https://blog.samaltman.com/the-gentle-singularity">post</a> he published on Tuesday, also mentioned that each ChatGPT query consumes "about 0.000085 gallons of water,&#8221; which is roughly one-fifteenth of a teaspoon.
Altman argues that "the cost of intelligence should eventually converge to near the cost of electricity," positioning the chatbot as comparatively frugal even as environmental watchdogs scrutinize AI's hidden climate bill.

OpenAI has not publicly shared details of their methodology, but the disclosure lands as researchers warn that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/06/45816468/ai-data-centers-are-eating-electricity-and-these-3-energy-stocks-could-be-the-biggest-winners-says-analyst">data-center power demand</a> could outstrip Bitcoin Mining by next year. One study from Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam projects AI could soon swallow nearly half the electricity flowing into global server farms.

Water use complicates the equation. A Washington Post <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2024/09/18/energy-ai-use-electricity-water-data-centers/">investigation</a> found that drafting a 100-word email with GPT-4 required "a little more than one bottle" of water, with consumption varying widely by data-center location. MIT researchers likewise warned in January that generative models are driving up both energy and water footprints as companies race to scale.
Why It Matters: The Department of Energy projects that U.S. data centers may consume up to 12% of the nation&#8217;s electricity by 2028, a share that could climb as AI adoption accelerates.
Altman's efficiency pitch follows corporate pledges to curb resource demand, yet Yale's Environment 360 notes hyperscale facilities still guzzle <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/12/36169719/chatgpts-thirst-for-water-ai-techs-environmental-impact-raises-grave-concerns-opportunity-to-invest">millions of gallons</a> annually. Planet Detroit adds that generative systems may use 33 times more energy than conventional software for the same task.

Economist&nbsp;Peter Schiff&nbsp;said in a recent interview that he would admit being wrong about Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) if the world wakes up to a &#8220;hyper Bitcoinization&#8221; scenario.
What Happened: During an interview that aired Monday, Schiff was asked about what it would take for him to drop his long-standing skepticism and start buying into the apex cryptocurrency.
&#8220;I haven&#8217;t bought it yet, and it&#8217;s gone from practically nothing to $100,000. So if that hasn&#8217;t convinced me, what&#8217;s going to convince me?&#8221; the Bitcoin skeptic replied.
For the sake of argument, Schiff then envisioned a Bitcoin utopia. &#8220;I suppose what everybody is saying is one day we&#8217;re going to wake up in hyper Bitcoinization and Bitcoin is going to be money. There won&#8217;t be any more dollars or any more euros or any more yen.&#8221;
He added that if he woke up in such a world where everything, from insurance to bonds, is priced in Bitcoin, he would have to admit that he was wrong about Bitcoin.
&#8220;i guess if I wake up in that world, I&#8217;d have to admit that I was wrong.&#8221;

&#8220;I just don&#8217;t believe that that&#8217;s ever going to happen because we&#8217;re no closer to that now than we were 10 years ago,&#8221; Schiff was quick to add. He said Bitcoin is being used more for &#8220;gambling&#8221; than as a medium of exchange.
Why It Matters: Schiff&#8217;s views on Bitcoin have been a topic of debate in the cryptocurrency community. He has consistently claimed that the leading cryptocurrency <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/40818582/gold-bull-peter-schiff-claims-bitcoin-lacks-intrinsic-value-and-is-destined-to-fail">lacks intrinsic value</a> and is&nbsp;destined to fail.

Interestingly, Schiff said in a recent podcast that his teachings on economics inadvertently&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/06/45738505/peter-schiff-says-it-was-his-economic-teachings-that-made-people-want-to-buy-bitcoin-an-unintended-consequence#:~:text=Peter%20Schiff%20Says%20It%20Was,'An%20Unintended%20Consequence'%20%2D%20Benzinga" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">led many to invest in Bitcoin</a>, despite his advice against it. He added that many Bitcoin 2025 conference attendees cited him as the reason they purchased the apex cryptocurrency.

Peter Schiff Says He'd Admit He Was Wrong On Bitcoin If He Wakes Up In A World Where...

Several Chinese automakers, including Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) rivals BYD Co. Ltd. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDY#OTC">BYDDY</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDF#OTC">BYDDF</a>) and Xpeng Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XPEV#NYSE">XPEV</a>), have pledged to settle supplier dues within 60 days.
What Happened: Authorities in China brought in regulations in March, requiring companies to settle payments with suppliers within 60 days, which kicked into effect on June 1, Reuters reported on Wednesday.
The report suggests that China's Iron and Steel Association released a statement outlining that the price war has put tremendous pressure on the sector as payments remain unsettled for months and manufacturers ask for price cuts up to 10%.
The association also called upon the manufacturers to take inspiration from Japanese auto manufacturers who "leave a certain amount of profit for suppliers and ensure product quality and innovation," the report said.
Why It Matters: The news comes as several mainstream Chinese automakers compete in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42761825/ev-price-war-heats-up-as-chinese-automakers-extend-subsidies">EV price war</a>, which has engulfed the Chinese domestic car market for a while.
Recently, the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) newspaper, The People's Daily, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/topics/25/06/45715047/byds-aggressive-pricing-triggers-ev-rat-race-stock-tumbles-authorities-voice-concern">voiced concerns</a> about the ongoing "rat race" among car makers in the country while pointing out that the aggressive pricing could hurt supply chains.
The comments from the CCP come in as a BYD dealer in China's Shandong province <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45666513/a-major-byd-dealer-in-china-shut-down-its-operations-as-ev-giant-expands-into-europe-report">closed down 20 outlets</a>, citing changes to the automaker's dealership rules. The company has closed down dealerships across 4 cities.
Despite this, the EV price war shows no sign of relenting as BYD recently released the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45855643/tesla-rival-byd-launches-15000-seal-06-sedan-as-chinas-ev-price-war-heats-up">Seal 06 EV Sedan</a>, available for $15,000. The sedan undercuts rival Tesla's cheapest offering in China, the Model 3, by almost half.

Warren Buffett, in a conversation that dates back decades, mentioned that the happiest part of running Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) is that he "tap-dance[s] to work" every morning and rarely confronts the single task he despises, which is firing someone.
What Happened: Speaking to University of Washington business students during a joint Q&amp;A with Microsoft's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) Bill Gates in 1998, Buffett outlined his frank yardstick for success and the lone blemish on an otherwise dream job.
"I get to do what I like to do every single day of the year and I get to do it with people I like," he said, before conceding, "the only thing in my job that I don't like — and this just happens every three or four years — is that occasionally I have to fire somebody." "Everything else," he added, "is tremendous fun."

Buffett urged students not to postpone passion. Waiting, he warned, is "a little like saving up s&#x2A;x for your old age." Instead, "work for an organization of people you admire, because it will turn you on," he said.

Buffett <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44065860/warren-buffetts-unconventional-career-advice-dont-save-your-passion-for-later-its-like-saving-up-sex-for-your-old-age?utm_source=chatgpt.com">reiterated that mantra</a> at a lecture he gave at the University of Georgia in 2001, responding to a student's query about their post-graduation employment. His takeaway for young professionals is stark: find bosses you admire, colleagues who inspire and work that makes you &#8220;lie on your back and paint the ceiling.&#8221;
Why It Matters: Speaking of advice to students, Buffett <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44527315/warren-buffett-told-students-how-he-got-rich-without-raising-a-dime-then-said-youre-already-living-better-than-john-d-rockefeller">told MBA students</a> in 2008 that he built his fortune by saving $120 for his first three shares at age 11, parlaying it into $9,800 by age 20, and eventually betting three-quarters of his net worth on GEICO because investing simply thrilled him. 
Four years later, he scolded another roomful of MBAs, calling most business-school finance courses "<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/25/05/45432012/warren-buffett-once-said-business-schools-teach-the-silliest-stuffand-this-is-what-he-and-charlie-munger-would-do-instead-to-train-the-next-generation-of-leaders">the silliest stuff</a>" and urging faculty to drop the math fads in favor of just two subjects: valuing a business and thinking rationally about markets. Together, the anecdotes strip the mystique from formal credentials and spotlight disciplined curiosity, long hours of groundwork, and genuine enjoyment as Buffett's real edge.
At Berkshire's 2025 annual meeting, Buffett <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45185944/warren-buffett-shares-surprising-advice-for-young-investors-and-its-not-about-stocks-who-you-associate-with-is-just-enormously-important">pressed the lesson</a> further. Choose colleagues who raise your standards and pursue work you would do for free, he said. He warned investors that careers drift toward the character of their companions, so they should surround themselves with people who make them better and avoid employers that push dubious conduct. In Buffett's formula, passion fuels persistence, and ethical associations shape both professional triumphs and the broader measure of a life well lived.

Warren Buffett Once Spoke About 'The Only Thing' He Didn't Like About His Job: '...Occasionally I Have To Fire Somebody'

A <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/05/45541908/supermicro-eyes-texas-mississippi-for-ai-server-growth-as-microsoft-amazon-increase-spending">boom in artificial intelligence infrastructure</a> is raising environmental concerns in Texas, according to a new report from the Environmental Integrity Project (EIP).
With more than 100 new gas-fired power proposals under review, the state faces a notable uptick in air pollution, even as clean energy alternatives remain underutilized.
What Happened: The EIP report, published Wednesday, lays down the environmental risks created by a series of proposed gas power plants designed to supply electricity to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/entrepreneurship/25/05/45705941/openai-secures-11-6b-for-texas-data-center-expansion-reducing-microsoft-dependence">data centers</a>, which require <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/06/45816468/ai-data-centers-are-eating-electricity-and-these-3-energy-stocks-could-be-the-biggest-winners-says-analyst">staggering amounts of energy</a>.
The Hill reports that more than 30 of these projects have already received permits, which the report claims were granted without much scrutiny. The facilities are mostly located around major urban hubs like Houston, the I-35 corridor, and West Texas oilfields.
Once developed to scale, these plants could emit pollution on par with 27 million additional vehicles, essentially doubling Texas' current fleet.
"To meet its increasing demand for electricity, Texas should be encouraging more clean energy instead of feeding public subsidies to dirty fossil fuels," said Jen Duggan, executive director of the Environmental Integrity Project.

Why It Matters: The emissions from these gas plants are likely to include cancer-linked chemicals such as benzene, ozone and nitrogen oxides that aggravate asthma, and PM 2.5, which are fine particles that reach deep into the lungs as per the report.
Despite their size, the EIP alleges that Texas regulators have misclassified at least three large facilities as minor polluters under the Clean Air Act, which exempts them from using the most advanced pollution controls.
Driven by crypto mining, data center expansion and oilfield operations, the state's energy demand is rising. Earlier this year, Texas lawmakers failed to pass legislation that would curb renewable energy growth.
"Everything is supposed to be bigger in Texas, but there's no need to go big with gas plant pollution when there are cleaner alternatives," said Adrian Shelley, Texas director at Public Citizen. "Texas is already number one in clean energy, which helps save the electric grid and reduce consumer costs, so we should rely on clean energy to increase our supply of electricity."

AI Data Centers Drive Gas Power Boom In Texas, Raising Pollution Risk Equal To 27 Million Cars: Report

The World Bank has significantly reduced&nbsp;its 2025 global growth forecast, pointing to the escalating trade tensions and policy uncertainty, particularly due to the wide-ranging tariffs imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump.
What Happened: The World Bank&#8217;s latest economic prospects report projects a global GDP growth of 2.3%, down from the 2.7% anticipated in January, <a href="https://www.scmp.com/news/world/article/3313910/world-bank-warns-slowest-global-growth-1960s-amid-trump-tariffs-trade-tensions?module=top_story&amp;pgtype=homepage">reported</a>&nbsp;South China Morning Post. According to Indermit Gill, the World Bank Group's chief economist, this marks the weakest performance in 17 years outside of global recessions. 
Fragmented trade relations and elevated policy uncertainty have weakened global growth and inflation outlooks for both this year and the next. &#8220;Without&nbsp;a swift course correction, the&nbsp;harm to living standards could&nbsp;be deep,&#8221; Gill cautioned.
The World Bank projects that by 2027, global GDP growth will average just 2.5% for the 2020s—its slowest pace since the 1960s. This bleak outlook follows Trump's April decision to impose a 10% tariff on imports from nearly all of the U.S.&#8217;s trading partners.
The World Bank suggested that developing countries could boost GDP growth by reducing tariffs for all trade partners and expanding trade deals to cover broader cross-border regulations.
"If the right policy actions are taken, this problem can be made to go away with limited long-term damage,&#8221; stated Gill.

Why It Matters:&nbsp;The World Bank&#8217;s revised forecast comes amid ongoing trade tensions and policy uncertainty, which have been exacerbated by the tariffs imposed by the Trump administration. This development could have significant implications for global markets and economies, potentially leading to increased volatility and reduced investor confidence.
Earlier in 2025, Trump&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/45124644/trump-blames-gdp-contraction-on-biden-overhang-nothing-to-do-with-the-tariffs">deflected blame</a>&nbsp;for the U.S. economy&#8217;s 0.3% contraction in the first quarter onto his predecessor, Joe Biden despite clear evidence indicating otherwise. This contraction was the first for the country in three years.
However, some experts, such as Tom Lee, co-founder and research head at Fundstrat Global Advisors, remain optimistic about the market&#8217;s future despite the recent volatility. Lee&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45432465/tom-lee-says-economists-predicting-a-recession-with-certainty-are-dead-wrong-in-my-30-years-ive-never-seen-an-economist">identified key indicators</a>&nbsp;suggesting that the worst market decline may have passed and predicted a significant upside for stocks by 2026. 
Invesco QQQ Trust, Series 1 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>) and SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) climbed 4.7% and 3.15% on a year-to-date basis.

Earnings Scheduled For June 11, 2025

On Tuesday, investor Ross Gerber criticized Warner Bros. Discovery (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WBD#NASDAQ">WBD</a>) CEO David Zaslav for his leadership, calling the company's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/45845734/warner-bros-discoverys-long-predicted-split-is-now-official">planned split into two independent public companies</a> a result of a series of poor decisions.
What Happened: Chris Bakke, the founder of Laskie, which was later acquired by Twitter, took to X and said that McKinsey &amp; Company had been paid millions for advising WBD on various decisions over the years.
He said McKinsey billed WBD $55 million in 2022 to advise on a potential merger with Discovery. Then, from 2022 to 2025, McKinsey charged $37 million for advising on rebranding HBO Max multiple times (first to Max, then back to HBO Max).
In 2025, McKinsey charged an additional $63 million to recommend that Warner Bros. and Discovery be separated again, Bakke stated.
Gerber, CEO and co-founder of Gerber Kawasaki, shared Bakke's post, criticizing Zaslav's leadership and stating that Zaslav has "created zero value" despite being one of the highest-paid CEOs.
&#8220;Zaslav is one of the highest paid CEOs in the world. He's created zero value with this garbage merger and one bad decision after the next,&#8221; he posted.

Why It's Important: On Monday, Warner Bros. Discovery Inc. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/45872075/why-warner-bros-discovery-wbd-stock-is-volatile-today">announced plans to split</a> into two separate companies by mid-2026, one focusing on streaming and studios and the other on global television networks.
CEO Zaslav is set to oversee the streaming and studios division, which encompasses HBO, Warner Bros. film properties and Max. Meanwhile, CFO Gunnar Wiedenfels will take on the role of CEO for the newly formed network unit, which includes CNN, Discovery and TNT Sports.
Last month, Warner Bros. Discovery released its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45298158/warner-bros-stock-falls-as-weak-studio-ad-sales-weigh-on-q1-despite-streaming-gains">fiscal first-quarter earnings</a>, reporting a 9% year-over-year revenue decline (excluding foreign exchange) to $8.98 billion, falling short of the $9.60 billion analyst estimate.
The company also closed the quarter with 122.3 million subscribers, up from 99.6 million a year earlier.
Streaming revenue rose 9% ex-FX to $2.66 billion, while distribution revenue climbed 8% ex-FX, driven by a 23% jump in subscribers fueled by Max's global expansion and new domestic distribution agreements.
According to Benzinga's Edge Stock Rankings, WBD continues to show solid price momentum in the short and long term, though it trends downward over the medium term. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">More detailed performance data is available here</a>.
