Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>) CEO Alex Karp says real achievement in the age of artificial intelligence depends on sacrificing early social perks for obsessive focus on one's best skill.
What Happened: "I've never met someone successful who had a great social life at 20," Karp told the Economic Club of Chicago recently, urging young employees to &#8220;find the thing you're uniquely good at, and then make sure your whole life is organized around allowing you to do it.&#8221;
Karp said most new hires stall in two ways: they refuse to admit what they're good at and they fail to reorder their lives around that talent. The first failure mode, he explains, is not accepting what you're truly good at, even though that might not be &#8220;what you want to be good at&#8221;. The second trap is not organizing your life around that ability, he says, adding that the adjustment often means fewer parties and more late nights refining craft.

"If that's what you want, that's great. But you're not going to be successful, and don't blame anyone else," he warns.
Karp also advised brutal honesty in relationships, asking recruits to consider, &#8220;How are they going to feel when you dedicate the next ten years of your life to building what you think is valuable?&#8221;
Why It Matters: The comments fit a pattern of blunt counsel from the Ph.D.-trained philosopher who co-founded Palantir with Peter Thiel in 2003.

What Happened: Bitcoin reached an intraday high of $106,813.58 in the early trading hours before hitting a ceiling and falling back to the $105,000 region. Ethereum, the second-largest cryptocurrency, recorded a similar trajectory, rallying to $2,650 before reversing to the late $2,500s.&nbsp;
The two blue-chip currencies recorded a dip in 24-hour trading volumes.
The cryptocurrency market saw some drama <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/06/45757170/trump-branded-crypto-wallet-sparks-controversy-trump-family-denies-involvement">after a cryptocurrency wallet bearing the Trump name surfaced</a>. However, the Trump family denied any involvement with the wallet.
About $155 million was liquidated from the cryptocurrency market in the last 24 hours, with bullish bets worth $94 million getting erased.

Analyst Notes: Blockchain analytics firm CryptoQuant said Bitcoin was targeting $96,000, a key support level that aligns with the average purchase price of short-term investors.
"This level is considered a potential rebound point in the event of a mild price correction," CryptoQuant added. "If liquidity is available, it is advisable to wait and observe market movements, with the possibility of entering new positions after the anticipated correction completes."

Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin Slip As Investors Anticipate Trump-Jinping Call: Too Early For An ETH Top? This Analyst Says $3000 Is On Target

On Tuesday, Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) demanded the removal of a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45481745/donald-trump-backed-gop-bill-seeks-to-ban-states-from-regulating-ai-for-10-years-critics-warn-its-federal-overreach-that-could-backfire">controversial AI provision</a> from President Donald Trump's sweeping tax-and-spending bill, warning she'll oppose it unless the Senate strikes it from the final version.
What Happened: Greene took to X, formerly Twitter, and said she was unaware that the "One Big Beautiful Bill" (OBBB) included a section barring states from regulating artificial intelligence for the next 10 years.
The provision appears on pages 278–279 and would prevent states from creating or enforcing AI-related laws, leaving regulation solely to the federal government.
"I am adamantly OPPOSED to this and it is a violation of state rights and I would have voted NO if I had known this was in there," she wrote on X.

Why It's Important: Previously, California state senator Scott Wiener described the measure as "truly gross," stating on social media that while Congress struggles to regulate AI effectively, it's simultaneously trying to prevent states from taking action too.
A bipartisan coalition of state attorneys general also expressed opposition. South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson, a Republican, said, "Instead of stepping up with real solutions, Congress wants to tie our hands."
Now, Greene's stance could jeopardize the bill's passage, as Republicans hold a narrow House majority and can only afford to lose three votes. Two GOP lawmakers already opposed the bill when it passed the House last month, <a href="https://thehill.com/policy/technology/5330705-greene-opposes-ai-regulation-provision/">reported</a> The Hill.

Marjorie Taylor Greene Says She's 'Adamantly Opposed' To Trump's 'Big Beautiful' Bill Over This AI Provision: 'I Would Have Voted NO If I Had Known This Was In There'

On Tuesday, Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45757029/elon-musk-slams-congressional-spending-bill-as-a-disgusting-abomination">criticized</a> President Donald Trump's flagship spending bill, drawing praise from economist Peter Schiff for confronting what both see as Republican fiscal hypocrisy.
What Happened: Musk blasted the proposed legislation—dubbed the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act"—calling it a "disgusting abomination" that would massively inflate the federal deficit.&nbsp;
"Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it," Musk wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
Musk, who has stepped down from his role as head of the Department of Government Efficiency, stated that the bill would push the annual deficit to $2.5 trillion and saddle Americans with "crushingly unsustainable debt."

Economist and market commentator Schiff supported Musk's remarks, labeling the bill a fraud. "It will actually increase annual deficits by much more as the economic and interest rate assumptions are too optimistic," Schiff posted.

Why It's Important: The bill, passed in the House by a single vote, would extend Trump's 2017 tax cuts and significantly boost military and border security spending.
The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimates it would add $3.8 trillion to the national debt, which already stands at $36.2 trillion, reported Reuters.
On Tuesday, the White House brushed off <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45635854/elon-musk-disappointed-with-trumps-big-beautiful-bill-says-it-undermines-the-work-that-the-doge-team-is-doing">Musk's latest criticism</a>, similar to how Trump had previously dismissed Musk&#8217;s objections to the legislation.
"The president already knows where Elon Musk stood on the bill," White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt stated during a briefing. "It doesn&#8217;t change the president&#8217;s opinion. This is one big, beautiful bill, and he&#8217;s sticking to it," the report noted.

CoreWeave, Nvidia, Wells Fargo, CrowdStrike, Robinhood: Why These 5 Stocks Are On Investors' Radars Today

Anthony Scaramucci, founder and CEO of SkyBridge Capital, supported the idea of JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>) CEO Jamie Dimon running for president on Tuesday.
What happened: Scaramucci posted on X a Fortune story titled &#8220;Jamie Dimon for president? Why the banking CEO would be a welcome alternative for many voters,&#8221; deeming the analysis as "spot on."
The op-ed makes a case for Dimon as a potential presidential candidate, suggesting he could appeal to voters seeking a business-savvy and pragmatic leader and one who will implement "sensible" regulations.

Why It Matters: The endorsement was noteworthy given Dimon&#8217;s public criticism of Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), an asset Scaramucci vehemently advocates for.
Just last week, Dimon said that the U.S. must focus more on traditional defense priorities and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/05/45709673/us-should-stockpile-bullets-not-bitcoin-jamie-dimon-says">less on stockpiling Bitcoin</a>. The JPMorgan CEO previously stated that the leading cryptocurrency<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/42940832/jamie-dimon-says-hes-not-against-blockchains-but-trades-guns-on-bitcoin-again-it-has-no-intrinsic-value-i-just-dont-feel-great-about"> possesses &#8220;no intrinsic value</a>.&#8221;

Price Action:&nbsp; At the time of writing, BTC was exchanging hands at $105,593.36, down 0.59% in the last 24 hours, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA..">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.&nbsp;
Shares of JPMorgan were down 0.06% in after-hours trading after closing 0.61% higher at $266.27 during Tuesday&#8217;s regular trading session.

BANL stock has given up its prior gain. CBL International shares were trading higher after the company announced a $5 million share repurchase program.

Mark Cuban doesn't sugarcoat what it's like to be wealthy. "It makes ugly people handsome and pretty," he joked during a recent appearance on the &#8220;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUwmA0lOWwM">Your Mom's House</a>&#8221; podcast.
The billionaire entrepreneur and former <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45510105/mark-cuban-is-done-with-shark-tank-but-here-are-5-investments-on-the-show-that-made-him-some-serious-money">&#8220;Shark Tank&#8221; investor</a> opened up about how money and fame change how others perceive and treat you.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">People Treated Very Differently After Getting Rich</h2>
&#8220;When you&#8217;re on these lists and everything, people know who you are,&#8221; he explained. &#8220;People treat you differently.&#8221; Cuban, who <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/10/41403246/mark-cuban-was-so-broke-he-didnt-even-have-200-needed-to-open-a-bank-account-and-now-hes-worth-b">grew up working class in Pittsburgh</a>, said he still values his privacy and avoids expanding his social circle. &#8220;I&#8217;m not looking for new friends. My friends are my high school buddies, my college buddies, my rugby teammates.&#8221;

<li>Invest where it hurts — and help millions heal:<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/a-cure-for-osteoarthritis-powered-by-everyday-investors-cytonics-is-looking-to-beat-big-pharma-and-disrupt-a-390-billion-market"> Invest in Cytonics and help disrupt a $390B Big Pharma stronghold</a>.</li>
</ul>
&#8220;There&#8217;s a fame mist. Once you become famous, people like you a lot more. Same with money,&#8221; podcast co-host Christina Pazsitzky said, with Cuban agreeing: &#8220;They go hand in hand.&#8221;
He admits the attention can be uncomfortable. Even his kids sometimes ask him <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/25/01/42803678/mark-cuban-on-selling-dallas-mavericks-stake-i-didnt-want-my-kids-feeling-the-pressure-of-walking-into-my-spot">not to come</a> to their basketball games because of the commotion. &#8220;They know if I go, the other team will come up and take pictures,&#8221; he said. So sometimes he&#8217;ll just come in the back door.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Money Doesn&#8217;t Guarantee Happiness</h2>
Cuban says the biggest misconception about wealth is that it automatically makes life better. &#8220;If you were happy when you were poor, you&#8217;re going to be happy when you&#8217;re rich. If you were miserable when you were poor, you&#8217;re going to be miserable when you&#8217;re rich.&#8221;
One of his first big purchases? A plane. But he says the real luxury is time. &#8220;The time that you save is money in the bank,&#8221; he told the podcast co-host, Tom Segura. &#8220;The more time you have, the more money you&#8217;ll make.&#8221;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">He Was Hustling At 16</h2>
Cuban shared a story from his teenage years during a newspaper strike in Pittsburgh. At 16, he and his friends drove to Cleveland, bought up newspapers, and then resold them in Pittsburgh for a profit. They stood on the corners in the morning selling papers for a dollar each when they used to be a quarter, with people even tipping them.
That entrepreneurial spirit never faded. He says he's been that way since age 9 or 10. Today, he encourages his children to follow their own paths. &#8220;You don't have to know what you're going to be when you grow up,&#8221; he told one of his kids. &#8220;Just be curious. The more knowledge you have, the more capabilities and options you have.&#8221;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">He&#8217;s Still Motivated By Learning</h2>
Even with all his success, Cuban says he still reads daily and keeps learning, especially about AI and healthcare. He credits motivational speaker Zig Ziglar for helping him stay driven early in his career. He&#8217;d drive around listening to the same Zig Ziglar tape over and over to get motivated.
Cuban then emphasized one of his core beliefs: failure is part of the game. &#8220;If you&#8217;re not failing, you&#8217;re not trying.&#8221;

Chief Executive Officer pay soared to new heights in 2024, with compensation packages for the top executives at America's largest companies <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/06/45740017/tsmc-ceo-tells-trump-100-billion-us-chip-expansion-will-take-time-amid-tariff-pressures-surging-ai-demand">reaching record levels.&nbsp;</a>
The median compensation for the highest-paid 100 CEOs in 2024, according to data from <a href="https://www.equilar.com/reports/116-highest-paid-ceos-2025-equilar-100.html">Equilar</a>, reached $25.6 million, reflecting a 9.5% increase over the previous year.
A significant driver of this increase was the median value of stock awards, which jumped 40.5% year over year — from $13.2 million in 2023 to $18.6 million in 2024. In 2024, stock awards represented about 73% of the median total compensation for Equilar&#8217;s top 100 CEOs.

Here Are The Highest Paid CEOs In 2024: Where Did Elon Musk, Warren Buffett Rank?

It's fun to dream about winning the lottery — even if you know deep down your odds are roughly the same as getting struck by lightning while being attacked by a shark on your birthday.&nbsp;
But just in case you do hit the jackpot, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45600579/mark-cuban-planned-to-quit-working-after-he-made-millions-in-his-30s-im-not-retired-because-im-too">billionaire Mark Cuban</a> has some blunt advice that tends to resurface anytime the Mega Millions or Powerball jackpots start breaking records.
Back in 2016, when the Powerball jackpot ballooned $1.6 billion, Cuban gave a refreshingly practical <a href="https://www.dallasnews.com/news/2018/10/19/think-you-ll-win-mega-millions-1-billion-jackpot-here-are-mark-cuban-s-tips-for-lottery-winners/">interview to The Dallas Morning News</a>. The man who sold Broadcast.com to Yahoo for billions didn't suggest a luxury car or a hot new startup. His advice? Sit down, shut up — and don't touch a thing.

</ul>
"You don't become a smart investor by winning the lottery," Cuban said. "Don't make investments. You can put it in the bank and live comfortably forever. You'll sleep a lot better knowing you won't lose money."
Yes, the guy who starred on "Shark Tank" told people not to invest. And he meant it. Winning the lottery doesn't make you Warren Buffett. It just makes you a target.
So what should you do?
First, don't take the lump sum. Cuban says to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/07/39940760/if-you-win-the-lottery-heres-what-suze-orman-suggests-you-do-take-the-cash-or-lifetime-annuity">opt for the annuity</a> — that 30-year drip-feed of millions — instead of grabbing it all at once.

Second, hire a tax attorney immediately. "Before you do anything," Cuban warned, "talk to your accountant." Taxes will take a chunk, and if you're not careful, so will scammers, shady advisors, and long-lost relatives with big dreams and zero business plans.
Then there's the part nobody likes to talk about: saying no. It sounds simple—until the texts start coming in and everyone suddenly has an emergency that only six figures can fix.
"Tell all your friends and relatives no," Cuban said. "They will ask. Tell them no. If you are close to them, you already know who needs help and what they need… Anyone who asks is not your friend."
Ouch. But fair.
Cuban also dropped a reality check about money and happiness:
"If you weren't happy yesterday, you won't be happy tomorrow. It's money. It's not happiness. If you were happy yesterday, you're going to be a lot happier tomorrow. Life gets easier when you don't have to worry about the bills."

And don't mistake this for some kind of green light to become a regular at the corner store lotto machine. Cuban called playing the lottery "OK" for entertainment — just don't dump your paycheck into it.
"It's OK to spend $2 for entertainment value," he added via email. "If you have $10, go to a Mavs game."
So if lightning does strike and you're suddenly holding a billion-dollar ticket, just remember: no lump sum, no risky investments, no to Chad's new crypto café idea — and yes to a tax attorney and peace of mind. Cuban's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">been rich for a while</a>. He's not guessing.

Here's How Much $100 Invested In Cadence Design Systems 15 Years Ago Would Be Worth Today

"Why do we feel so poor?" That's the question that launched one of the most relatable rants in the <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/MiddleClassFinance/s/ZE5IKPT0GY">r/MiddleClassFinance subreddit</a> — and it wasn't some vague complaint. It came with receipts.&nbsp;
The original poster opened with a stat that sounds almost unbelievable: "Every state in the US has a higher median income than the UK." Yet somehow, they wrote, "we feel like it's not enough."
"We're making more, most of our costs are lower, taxes are lower," they said. "How do people in the UK survive on so little when food, housing, and transportation costs more over there?"

</ul>
It's the kind of post that feels like it came from the dinner table after a long day of paying for things — groceries, childcare, student loans, and another unexpected dentist bill — and still feeling like you're behind. And then came the part that hit a little harder: "If the US is a third world country, where else is it better?"
The poster wasn't just venting. They were pointing out what looked like a contradiction. If Americans earn more and spend less — at least on paper — why does everything still feel like a financial uphill climb? They even argued that America has a leg up when it comes to early retirement, writing, "I've never heard of anyone in the middle class in other countries be <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44552100/i-have-no-doubt-theyre-going-to-raise-the-full-retirement-age-possibly-to-70-suze-orman-weighs-in-on-social-security-fears">able to retire in their 40s</a> or early 50s, yet it's very possible here in America."
So, are they right?

Statistically, yes. Median household income in the U.S. was $74,580 as of the most recent <a href="https://www.census.gov/library/publications/2023/demo/p60-279.html">census data</a>. In the UK, <a href="https://www.ons.gov.uk/employmentandlabourmarket/peopleinwork/earningsandworkinghours/bulletins/annualsurveyofhoursandearnings/2023">it's around £34,963</a> ($44,400). Even the lowest-earning U.S. states like Mississippi still come out ahead in raw income.
But that's where the logic starts to fray.
One Redditor who had lived in both countries chimed in with what seemed like the missing piece: "In the UK, people make it work on less not because life is cheaper… but because the government fills in more of the gaps." Healthcare is free at the point of use. Public transit is subsidized. Childcare isn't a second rent payment. And while rent and food can be expensive, there's at least a safety net to catch people when they fall.
Over in the U.S., falling can mean falling hard. Another user, a business owner, broke it down like this: "We directly pay $45k a year for insurance that by US standards is on the ‘better' end… and we have to budget about 10k a year for medical expenses." They also had two kids attending public universities in Texas — "reasonable" by U.S. standards — but still, "it's 50k out the door to pay for it."

They described themselves as higher earners, but said, "This is a hit. There are zero social safety nets in my state."
So yes, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/04/44891276/the-average-household-is-a-millionaire-with-a-1-06-million-net-worth-according-to-the-fed-so-why-do-people-still-feel-broke">Americans might earn more</a>. But they're also covering more ground alone. Income doesn't equal insulation. And that's the nuance buried under the numbers. One medical emergency, one layoff, one school bill too big to split — and suddenly, that higher income doesn't feel like it buys you much at all.
It's not that the original post was wrong — if anything, it might've understated the issue. Americans do make more. Things do cost less. But many still feel poor because, frankly, they're carrying the cost of survival without the stabilizers. When nothing is guaranteed — not health care, not housing, not education — that "<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/05/45483330/are-you-rich-or-just-upper-middle-class-heres-the-net-worth-and-income-it-takes-to-be-considered-wealthy">higher median income</a>" doesn't feel like wealth. It just feels like a number that doesn't tell the whole story.
And if people making more in every state still feel like they're just barely staying afloat? That probably answers the question better than any chart ever could.

Here's How Much $100 Invested In Kinross Gold 5 Years Ago Would Be Worth Today

A congressman has disclosed buying Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) on four occasions in 2025, with some of the trades happening past the 45-day window, adding to the recent <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/politics/25/04/45077654/bill-named-after-nancy-pelosi-could-ban-congress-members-from-trading-stocks-what-you-need-to-know-about-the-pelosi-act">calls to ban members</a> of Congress from buying and selling stocks and other investments.
What Happened: A bill that would ban members of Congress from buying stocks and options may not apply to cryptocurrency purchases, which could be good news for members <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/04/45018551/senator-on-digital-assets-committee-buys-more-bitcoin-etf-shares-2025-is-the-year-for-digital-assets">who have bought</a> Bitcoin, meme coins and Bitcoin ETFs.
Rep. Brandon Gill (R-Texas), a close ally of President Donald Trump, is the latest member of Congress to disclose buying cryptocurrency.
Gill disclosed the following Bitcoin purchases, with their transaction dates listed below:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Jan. 29, 2025: $100,000 to $250,000 BTC</li>
<li>Feb. 27, 2025: $100,000 to $250,000 BTC</li>
<li>May 13, 2025: $100,000 to $250,000 BTC</li>
<li>May 18, 2025: $50,000 to $100,000 BTC</li>
</ul>
In total, Gill has added between $350,000 and $850,000 in Bitcoin to his investment portfolio, with the trades tracked by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/gov-trades/members/brandon-gill">Benzinga's Government Trades page</a>.
The big problem with the disclosure is that Gill didn't disclose the January and February purchase until now, which is far beyond the 45-day window members of Congress have to make disclosures.
"Congressman Gill bought $850k worth of Bitcoin this year, $BTC. Also broke the law reporting this late," Congresstrading <a href="https://x.com/congresstrading/status/1929996331088486735">tweeted</a>.
Gill's trades are mostly close to being even with the current price of Bitcoin as the leading cryptocurrency trading at over $100,000 on Jan. 29, May 13 and May 30. The exception would be the trade on Feb. 27, which was made when Bitcoin traded between $83,144.96 and $87,000.78 on the day.
The timing of Gill's trades is drawing more attention, given his close ties to Trump. The Jan. 29 trade was shortly after Trump's executive order for the U.S. to be a leader in digital assets and the Feb. 27 purchase was just ahead of Trump announcing a "strategic Bitcoin reserve."

</ul>
Why It's Important: Members of Congress have received fines of $200 in the past for not disclosing their trades on time, an amount that has helped push the call for a ban of Congress&#8217;s trading activity.
Other members of Congress have made questionable trades in cryptocurrency like Bitcoin and Bitcoin ETFs around Trump announcements, which could prompt calls for a ban on buying and selling cryptocurrency for Congress members as well.
Right now, the proposed P.E.L.O.S.I. Act does not mention cryptocurrency.
Benzinga <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45594252/exclusive-no-hodling-for-congress-48-say-elected-members-shouldnt-be-able-to-buy">recently polled readers</a> on the trading activity of members of Congress.
&#8220;Should members of Congress be allowed to invest in cryptocurrency?&#8221; we asked. Here are the results:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>No, they shouldn&#8217;t be able to invest in cryptocurrencies: 48%</li>
<li>Yes, as long as they disclose: 30%</li>
<li>Yes, but through ETFs and not actual cryptocurrencies: 15%</li>
<li>Yes, they don&#8217;t need to disclose: 8%</li>
</ul>
The poll found that nearly half of voters said that members of Congress shouldn&#8217;t be able to invest in cryptocurrency. Only 30% supported the current method of allowing them to invest as long as they disclose.
Eight percent said let Congress members buy and sell cryptocurrency without needing to disclose.
Ranking third was yes to investing, but doing so through ETFs like the&nbsp;iShares Bitcoin ETF Trust&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBIT#NASDAQ">IBIT</a>).
Investing in cryptocurrency such as Bitcoin has become more mainstream for members of Congress, but the public could view investments in &#8220;meme coins,&#8221; especially some obscure cryptocurrencies, as questionable.
Rep. Mike Collins&nbsp;(R-Ga.)<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42330146/congressman-buys-meme-coins-ski-mask-dog-coin-climbs-in-value-after-disclosure-i-liked-the-coins-so-i-bought-them" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">&nbsp;previously disclosed buying</a>&nbsp;Ski Mask Dog&nbsp;(CRYPTO: SKI). The crypto spiked after the disclosure went viral on social media and Collins bought more later.
Trump has been supportive of a potential ban on members of Congress buying and selling stocks and options. Trump has not mentioned banning cryptocurrency trades, which comes as the president has his own Official Trump Coin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">TRUMP</a>) and has been supportive of the cryptocurrency sector.

Wells Fargo &amp; Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WFC#NYSE">WFC</a>) shares are rising in Tuesday&#8217;s after-hours session after the company announced it&#8217;s no longer subject to asset growth restrictions<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/20/03/15485764/house-report-says-wells-fargo-continues-to-abuse-customers-blasts-regulators-for-inaction"> imposed in 2018</a>.
What Happened: Wells Fargo said the board of governors of the Federal Reserve determined that Wells Fargo has met all conditions required to remove the limits on growth in total assets imposed in its 2018 consent order.
&#8220;The Federal Reserve&#8217;s decision to lift the asset cap marks a pivotal milestone in our journey to transform Wells Fargo. We are a different and far stronger company today because of the work we&#8217;ve done,&#8221; said Charlie Scharf, CEO of Wells Fargo.
&#8220;In addition, we have changed and simplified our business mix, and we have transformed the management team and how we run the company. We have been methodically investing in the company&#8217;s future while improving our financial results and profile.&#8221;
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Is WFC A Good Stock To Buy?</h1>
An investor or trader's decision to buy or sell a stock is unique to their time horizon and risk tolerance. Many typical investors evaluate earnings growth and valuation on a particular stock before making a decision. 
For example, with Wells Fargo, you'll notice earnings in its last quarter <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/WFC/earnings">grew 2.42%</a>. As an investor, you'll want to decide whether that's better or worse than what you'd like to see among stocks in your portfolio.
On the valuation side, Wells Fargo's price to earnings ratio — a measure of how much an investor pays for the company's earnings — is projected to grow 15.77% in the current quarter when compared to last year. That places it above similar businesses JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America and HSBC Holdings in its sector. You'll need to decide whether that makes it more or less attractive based on how you think the company will perform over time.
There are many different valuation metrics that may help you make a decision. Find more on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/WFC">Wells Fargo's quote page</a>, or if you'd like a deeper dive in an advanced program, try <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga PRO</a> for free.
WFC Price Action: <a href="http://benzinga.com/quote/WFC">Wells Fargo shares</a> were up 2.67% in after-hours, trading at $77.67 at the time of publication Tuesday, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.
