Donald Trump's presidential victory gave an unprecedented boost to the cryptocurrency market, pushing major assets like Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) to new highs.&nbsp;
However, the bull market has also managed to draw attention back to those altcoins that have struggled to gain traction this year.
What happened: Polygon (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/matic/usd">MATIC</a>), now rebranded to POL, has been one of the biggest benefactors, surging over 61% over the last month. The token climbed to a five-month high earlier this week.
In fact, the coin&#8217;s 30-day gains have significantly exceeded those of blue-chip cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>), which rose nearly 36%.
Influential cryptocurrency analyst Ali Martinez foresaw strong upside potential for POL, based on multiple bullish indicators.
In an X post on Monday, Martinex highlighted that despite the uptick, only about 15% of POL holders were in profit, reducing the possibility of immediate sell-offs.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">I have a wild price prediction for <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Polygon?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Polygon</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%24POL&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">$POL</a> that many will think this post is sponsored… But it's not!

</figure>
Furthermore, on-chain activity showed promise, with active addresses, transaction volume, and whale transactions all experiencing spikes.
In fact, whales have been on an accumulation spree, scooping millions of POL tokens.
With no "major" selling pressure and surging whale interest, Martinez issues a bold forecast.
"I believe that POL consolidates in a multi-year descending triangle, and a weekly close above $0.7973 could trigger a rally to $15.27 or $36.17,&#8221; he said.
This would amount to a staggering upside from the current level, in the range of 2725%-6592%.

Several technical indicators also flashed a bullish signal for POL.&nbsp;
The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD), a trend-following momentum indicator that shows the relationship between two moving averages (MAs), flashed a "Buy" signal, according to <a href="https://www.tradingview.com/symbols/POLYGUSD/technicals/">data </a>from TradingView.
Additionally, most MAs, including exponential and simple, gave a bullish prediction.&nbsp;
That said, the derivatives market anticipated price declines as the number of traders levered short on the coin exceeded those placing bullish bets, data from the Long/Short Ratio showed.
Price Action: At the time of writing, POL was trading at $0.5405, down 2,75% 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>. The coin has lagged other cryptocurrencies in 2024, falling over 46% year-to-date.&nbsp;

Crypto's Next Mega-Rocket? Analyst Forecasts Insane 2725%-6600% Surge For This Coin

The incoming Donald Trump administration is reportedly planning to extend the regulatory power of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to oversee a major portion of the cryptocurrency market.
What Happened: The&nbsp;CFTC's role could soon expand&nbsp;to include the regulation of&nbsp;spot markets for major assets such as&nbsp;Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) and Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>), along&nbsp;with the exchanges that facilitate&nbsp;their trading, Fox Business <a href="https://www.foxbusiness.com/markets/trump-admin-eyes-cftc-lead-digital-asset-regulation">reported </a>on Tuesday, citing sources close to Trump&#8217;s team.
The proposed move is&nbsp;part of a broader effort&nbsp;by President-elect Trump and&nbsp;the Republican majorities in Congress&nbsp;to scale back the regulatory power that&nbsp;the SEC has exerted&nbsp;over the digital asset industry&nbsp;under President Joe Biden and his&nbsp;outgoing SEC chairman, Gary Gensler.
Key figures&nbsp;in the incoming Trump administration&nbsp;believe that less stringent regulation&nbsp;is needed to spur innovation&nbsp;in the cryptocurrency business.
If implemented, the move would give the CFTC, the regulator of the U.S. derivatives market, jurisdiction over a nearly $2.24 trillion market for Bitcoin and Ethereum, making up more than 70% of the global cryptocurrency market.
The CFTC didn&#8217;t immediately respond to Benzinga&#8217;s request for confirmation. A mail sent to Trump&#8217;s former campaign spokesman wasn&#8217;t responded to either.

Why It Matters: The CFTC has long considered digital assets like Ethereum <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/23/03/31270768/ethereum-a-commodity-too-cftc-chair-thinks-it-should-be-added-to-gary-genslers-bitcoin-onl">as commodities</a>, as stated by CFTC Chair Rostin Benham in his testimony before the Senate Agriculture Committee, in contrast to the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/03/37538468/sec-chair-gary-gensler-declines-to-say-whether-ethereum-is-a-commodity-its-about-circumsta">SEC&#8217;s ambiguous position</a> on the asset.
As for Bitcoin, the asset has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/22/06/27866983/commodity-or-security-new-bitcoin-insights-from-sec-chairman-gary-gensler">long been recognized as a commodity</a>, even by the SEC, protecting it against regulatory scrutiny.
The Trump transition team has been considering the creation of a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42098407/donald-trump-reportedly-eyeing-the-first-crypto-focused-role-in-the-white-house">White House role dedicated to cryptocurrency policy</a>, indicating a potential shift in the U.S. government's approach to digital assets (<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42098407/donald-trump-reportedly-eyeing-the-first-crypto-focused-role-in-the-white-house">source</a>).
This change in regulatory oversight comes as SEC Chair Gary Gensler, known for his stringent regulatory approach towards cryptocurrencies, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/24/11/42120607/gary-gensler-to-step-down-as-sec-chair-on-trumps-inauguration-day">announced his resignation </a>effective from Trump&#8217;s inauguration day.

In a provocative discourse on modern military technology, leading tech innovators are challenging traditional warfare strategies, arguing that autonomous drones and artificial intelligence will <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/42157649/trumps-doge-co-lead-elon-musk-slams-lockheed-martins-f-35-fighter-jets-advocates-drone-warfare-as-pentagon-defends-1-8-trillion-program">fundamentally transform military combat</a>.
What Happened: Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk sparked widespread discussion by asserting that &#8220;future wars are all about drones &amp; hypersonic missiles&#8221; and that human-piloted fighter jets will be quickly decimated in modern conflict.
Pierre Ferragu, an analyst at New Street Research, further proposed redirecting Defense Department budgets toward innovative startups, drawing parallels to NASA&#8217;s approach two decades ago.
Musk&#8217;s perspective was amplified during a podcast with Joe Rogan and Marc Andreessen, where they detailed the potential of AI-controlled aircraft. The experts highlighted critical advantages of drone warfare, including:
<ul>
<li>Unprecedented processing speeds</li>
<li>Ability to withstand extreme G-forces</li>
<li>Elimination of human physical limitations</li>
<li>Potential for larger, more numerous deployment</li>
</ul>

What Happened: The Pentagon&#8217;s F-35 program, manufactured by Lockheed Martin Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LMT#NYSE">LMT</a>), remains a focal point of debate. Despite a staggering $1.8 trillion estimated total cost, the program continues to face scrutiny from technology leaders <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/42157649/trumps-doge-co-lead-elon-musk-slams-lockheed-martins-f-35-fighter-jets-advocates-drone-warfare-as-pentagon-defends-1-8-trillion-program">questioning its long-term relevance</a>.
Musk, recently appointed to co-lead the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), has been vocal about reducing government expenditures.

Amid Elon Musk's Push For Drones And AI For Combat Transformation, Analyst Pierre Ferragu Says Shift The Defense Budget In Favor Of Startups

Cathie Wood, CEO of ARK Invest, is doubling down on biologics, seeing unprecedented potential at the intersection of artificial intelligence, genetic sequencing, and gene editing technologies.
What Happened: Wood&#8217;s enthusiasm centers on what she describes as a transformative convergence of technologies that could revolutionize medical treatment and drug discovery. 
Speaking candidly about the sector, Wood highlighted the remarkable progress in genetic therapies, particularly in companies like Crispr Therapeutics AG (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRSP#NASDAQ">CRSP</a>), Intellia Therapeutics Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NTLA#NASDAQ">NTLA</a>), and Beam Therapeutics Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BEAM#NASDAQ">BEAM</a>).
Her most striking example involves Crispr Therapeutics&#8217; recent breakthrough in sickle cell disease treatment. Wood noted, referencing how patients who previously required 12 to 20 annual blood transfusions might now be free from such interventions.
The strategy extends beyond treatment breakthroughs to drug development itself. Wood points to companies like Recursion Pharmaceuticals Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RXRX#NASDAQ">RXRX</a>) as leveraging artificial intelligence to dramatically reduce clinical trial failure rates and accelerate drug development timelines.
However, the market performance of these innovative companies tells a more nuanced story. Year-to-date, the stocks have experienced significant volatility: Crispr Therapeutics is down 25.36%, Intellia Therapeutics has dropped 52.21%, Beam Therapeutics declined 3.04%, and Recursion Pharmaceuticals fell 9.80%, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Why It Matters: ARK&#8217;s commitment to this sector is evident through its Genomic Revolution ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKG#BATS">ARKG</a>), which manages net assets of $1.179 billion. The fund&#8217;s performance reflects the sector&#8217;s volatility, with annual returns ranging from a high of 180.50% in 2020 to a low of -53.94% in 2022.
The ETF&#8217;s current top holdings underscore Wood&#8217;s strategic focus on innovative biological technologies. Twist Bioscience Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TWST#NASDAQ">TWST</a>) leads the portfolio at 8.90%, followed by Crispr Therapeutics at 7.88% and Recursion Pharmaceuticals at 6.17%.

Wood&#8217;s vision suggests a potential $400 billion market opportunity in biologics over the next five years, driven by the unprecedented convergence of AI, sequencing technologies, and gene editing.

Cathie Wood Sees $400B Opportunity In Biologics — How Have Her Bets Fared?

ChatGPT-maker OpenAI's unreleased Sora text-to-video AI model has reportedly been leaked by a group of beta testers protesting its handling of artists.
What Happened: A group of Sora beta testers claimed responsibility for leaking access to the model on Tuesday, which included a working interface, on Hugging Face, a public repository for AI tools.
According to an open letter, the artists accused OpenAI of exploiting their work for &#8220;unpaid R&amp;D&#8221; and &#8220;art washing.&#8221; They alleged that the company used them to create promotional credibility while denying fair compensation.
&#8220;We are sharing this to the world in the hopes that OpenAI becomes more open, more artist friendly, and supports the arts beyond PR stunts,&#8221; the letter read.

What Happened: Bitcoin fell to an intraday low of $90,770 before recovering to $92,500 in overnight hours. The corrective action has wiped all of the gains made over the week, halting the leading cryptocurrency&#8217;s rise to $100,000.
Long-term Bitcoin holders have offloaded 728,000 coins in the past 30 days, marking the largest sell-off since April.

Over $364 million in long positions were liquidated in the past 24 hours, out of a total of $477 million. Bitcoin's Open Interest also declined by over 5% in the last 24 hours.&nbsp;
That said, the number of Binance traders going long on Bitcoin still heavily outpaced those betting against the asset, <a href="https://www.coinglass.com/LongShortRatio">according </a>to the Long/Shorts Ratio indicator.
Additionally, around $695 million in leveraged shorts risked liquidation if the apex cryptocurrency rebounds to $98,000.

The global cryptocurrency market capitalization stood at $3.18 trillion, following a contraction of 2.29% in the last 24 hours.
Stocks climbed to new records Tuesday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 123.74 points, or 0.28%, to close at 44,860.31, while the S&amp;P 500 gained 0.57% to end at 6,021.63. Both the broad-based indexes closed at record highs. Tech-focused Nasdaq Composite added 0.63% higher to close at 19,175.58.

Analyst Notes: In a note shared with Benzinga, Haider Rafique, Global Chief Marketing Officer at cryptocurrency exchange OKX, commented on why Bitcoin was fumbling around the $100,000 mark.
&#8220;There&#8217;s definitely profit-taking at these levels. The average holding price is around $30,000, representing a two to three-times upside for investors. So, there&#8217;s significant sell pressure, but we also see equal buyback pressure," Rafique stated.
He added, "Many people have had $100,000 as a price target for liquidation. We&#8217;re seeing institutions like MicroStrategy buying and holding significant supply, which naturally reduces available liquidity on exchanges and creates upward momentum."&nbsp;
Widely-followed cryptocurrency analyst Ali Martinez spotted a ‘buy signal' from the TD Sequential indicator on Bitcoin's hourly chart.
Additionally, with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) forming a higher low, a bullish divergence was witnessed, potentially helping Bitcoin to rebound to $95,000-$96,000.

Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin Tumble As 'Diamond Hands' Lock In Gains: Top Analyst Anticipates BTC Rebound

On Tuesday, Cathie Wood-led Ark Invest executed significant trades involving Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>). The trades included the sale of Tesla shares across multiple ETFs, reflecting strategic adjustments in Ark&#8217;s portfolio.
The Tesla Trade
Ark Invest&#8217;s decision to sell Tesla shares on Tuesday was a continuation of its recent trading strategy. The ARK Innovation ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKK#NYSE">ARKK</a>) offloaded 33,837 shares, while the ARK Autonomous Technology &amp; Robotics ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKQ#BATS">ARKQ</a>) sold 19,474 shares. With Tesla&#8217;s closing price at $338.23, these sales amounted to approximately $18.03 million. 
This move follows a series of trades where Ark has been recalibrating its holdings, including significant transactions involving Tesla earlier in the week. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42180029/ark-invest-shakes-up-portfolio-with-big-tesla-and-amazon-trades">Recent adjustments</a> came amid potential impacts from California&#8217;s consumer rebates proposal affecting Tesla&#8217;s eligibility.
Despite the sale, Cathie Wood has previously expressed a bullish outlook on Tesla&#8217;s future, particularly in the autonomous vehicle sector. She <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41200165/cathie-wood-predicts-trillion-dollar-revenue-opportunity-for-tesla-in-autonomous-vehicles-winner">envisions</a> a &#8220;trillion-dollar-plus revenue opportunity&#8221; for Tesla, driven by advancements in autonomous driving technology. Wood&#8217;s confidence in Tesla&#8217;s long-term prospects remains strong, even as Ark Invest strategically reallocates its portfolio. Wood&#8217;s predictions highlight the potential for Tesla to dominate the market with its innovative technologies.

Cathie Wood's Latest Tesla Dump: Ark Sells $18M Worth Of Stock

The Walt Disney Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>) has agreed to pay $43.25 million to settle a gender pay discrimination lawsuit, ending years of legal proceedings.
What Happened: The lawsuit, filed in 2019 by Disney employee LaRonda Rasmussen, alleged that she was paid less than male colleagues in similar roles.
The case expanded as more female employees joined, leading to a California judge granting class certification in December 2023.
Plaintiffs argued that Disney had a company-wide policy before 2018 that resulted in women receiving lower starting salaries than men.
This was partly due to basing pay on prior salaries, which often reflected gender disparities.
A labor economist&#8217;s analysis, cited by the plaintiffs, indicated that from 2015 to 2022, women at Disney earned less than their male counterparts, with a 2.01% female pay penalty.

Disney contested these findings, maintaining their commitment to fair pay. A Disney spokesperson stated, &#8220;We have always been committed to paying our employees fairly and have demonstrated that commitment throughout this case.&#8221;
Christine Webber, representing the plaintiffs, praised the women involved, stating, &#8220;This settlement would not be possible without these courageous women. Because of them, women can expect equitable treatment at Disney in the future.&#8221;
Why It Matters: The settlement comes amid a broader trend of gender pay discrimination lawsuits in major corporations.
Earlier this year in June, Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) faced <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/06/39322674/apple-hit-with-class-action-lawsuit-over-alleged-unequal-pay-for-women">a class-action lawsuit</a> alleging unequal pay for women, highlighting ongoing issues in Silicon Valley.
Similarly, Goldman Sachs (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>) settled a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/23/05/32280690/goldman-sachs-woes-doesnt-end-women-employees-discrimination-lawsuit-costs-215m">gender discrimination lawsuit</a> for $215 million in May 2023, and Alphabet Inc. (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>) agreed to a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/22/06/27660579/google-agrees-to-pay-118m-to-settle-gender-discrimination-lawsuit">$118 million settlement</a> in June 2022.
Earlier this month, Disney reported strong financial performance, with a 6% revenue growth in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/41971559/disneys-q4-boosted-by-streaming-gains-strong-box-office-and-solid-parks-performance">the fourth quarter of 2024</a>.
Price Action: Disney&#8217;s stock declined 0.47% on Tuesday, closing at $115.45, followed by a 0.11% drop in after-hours trading. Year-to-date, Disney shares have risen 27.27%, slightly outperforming the Nasdaq 100 index, which is up 26.47%, <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">according to Benzinga Pro data</a>.

Amazon, Crowdstrike, Autodesk, Dell, And Tesla: Why These 5 Stocks Are On Investors' Radars Today

Financial analyst Jim Cramer endorsed owning cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) and Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) as a safeguard against government overspending and an ever-increasing deficit.
What Happened: Cramer defended his pro-cryptocurrency stance, stating that the concerns over national debt are perpetual, CNBC <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/11/26/jim-cramer-bitcoin-national-debt.html">reported </a>Tuesday. 
"I think Bitcoin, Ethereum, and maybe even some other cryptocurrencies deserve a spot in your portfolio, too," the host of CNBC&#8217;s popular Mad Money show said. &#8220;Maybe one day, if the deficit gets under control, I'll change my tune."
Despite the lack of evidence that cryptocurrency can protect against financial risks, Cramer believed it to be a &#8220;plausible&#8221; narrative. 
"I've liked crypto for a very long time, mostly because I know there's a huge constituency of investors who want to buy something that can protect them from our government's busted budget," Cramer said.
He added that while cryptocurrency is relatively new and lacks a proven track record, it could serve as a solid asset if the U.S. national debt continues to devalue the dollar due to excessive federal spending. 
Cramer expressed doubt&nbsp;that the government will be&nbsp;able to address the debt issue in the near future.

Why It Matters: America&#8217;s federal debt has leaped past $35 trillion in 2024, casting doubt on its long-term financial stability. In 2024, the government has spent $6.75 trillion, leaving the nation with a<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/10/41564246/from-10-trillion-to-35-trillion-how-government-spending-has-spiraled-out-of-control"> $1.83 trillion deficit</a> in just one year.
Citing the federal debt crisis, the world&#8217;s largest asset manager, BlackRock, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/40950912/bitcoins-reserve-asset-appeal-increased-due-to-state-of-us-federal-deficit-and-debt-says-b">strategically advocated</a> for&nbsp;Bitcoin as a potential hedge against future events affecting the U.S. dollar.
Meanwhile, Cramer has been doubling down on his cryptocurrency advocacy.

However, since his bullish take, the apex cryptocurrency, which was approaching $100,000, has pulled back to $92,000.
For the uninitiated, the &#8220;Inverse Cramer&#8221; phenomenon hinges on the belief that doing the opposite of what Cramer advises could lead to profits. There has been no definitive proof, though, of counter-trading Cramer&#8217;s predictions being a profitable strategy.

Jim Cramer Says Bitcoin And Ethereum 'Deserve A Spot In Your Portfolio' As Hedge Against Rising US Debt: 'I've Liked Crypto For A Very Long Time'

On Tuesday, Sen. Warren (D-Mass.) criticized the funding approach of the Trump transition team, suggesting it was a scheme for insiders to profit.
What Happened: Warren took to X to express her concerns about the Trump transition team&#8217;s reliance on private donors. She stated, &#8220;The reliance on private donors to fund the transition is nothing more than a ploy for well-connected Trump insiders to line their pockets while pretending to save taxpayers money.&#8221;

After a delay, Trump's transition team signed a key agreement with the Biden White House to facilitate the transfer of power, enabling access to federal agencies and ensuring safeguards for non-public information. However, the team opted out of a General Services Administration agreement, citing its existing ethics plan, which sparked criticism from Warren, who warned of "serious gaps between the Trump transition&#8217;s ethics agreement and the letter of the law." The White House prioritized stability despite the incomplete agreements, including one with the Department of Justice for security clearances, <a href="https://www.npr.org/2024/11/26/nx-s1-5206864/trump-transition-agreement">reported</a> NPR.

Chuck Schumer&#8217;s Last-Ditch Cannabis Banking Reform Push</a>
Why It Matters: This post follows Warren&#8217;s earlier accusations that the Trump transition team was &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/41890244/elizabeth-warren-says-trump-and-his-transition-team-are-already-crossing-legal-boundaries-i-would-know-because-i-wrote-the-law">already breaking the law</a>&#8221; by not signing a series of transition agreements with the Biden administration.
The transition process is a crucial period for any incoming administration. It is during this time that the incoming president and his team are expected to prevent conflicts of interest and sign an ethics agreement. Warren, who claims to have written the law on this matter, has been vocal about her concerns regarding the Trump team&#8217;s handling of the transition.
Despite Warren&#8217;s concerns, President Joe Biden has assured a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41948486/biden-pledges-smooth-transition-to-trump-in-white-house-meeting">smooth transition</a> of power to President-elect Donald Trump.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Portfolio Armor's Top Ten Names</h3>
Portfolio Armor's top ten names have, on average, outperformed the market significantly since December of 2022. Since then, we have full,&nbsp;<a href="https://portfolioarmor.com/performance-top-names" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">6-month performance data</a>&nbsp;on 74 weekly top names cohorts.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Tesla Wasn't A Top Name For Most Of This Year</h3>
Since recent price performance is one of the factors Portfolio Armor's security selection algorithm uses,&nbsp;Tesla, Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) didn't appear as a top name for most of this year, but we've had some success trading it earlier this year using other signals:

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">One Of Our Post-Election Trump Trades</h3>
Tesla was one of four post-election Trump trades included in this post earlier this month. 
<figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized"><a href="https://portfolioarmor.substack.com/p/trade-alert-euphoria"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="925" height="806" src="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/26104137/Euphoria.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-3651" style="width:624px" srcset="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/26104137/Euphoria.jpg 925w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/26104137/Euphoria-300x261.jpg 300w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/26104137/Euphoria-768x669.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 925px) 100vw, 925px" /></a></figure>
All four names in that post had two things in common: they had been a Portfolio Armor top ten name the night before, and they stood to benefit from Trump's reelection.
For example, one of the four was&nbsp;Robinhood Markets, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HOOD#NASDAQ">HOOD</a>) which should benefit from loser crypto regulation under Trump. We exited half of that trade on Monday.
<ol>
<li>Calls on&nbsp;Robinhood Markets&nbsp;(<a href="https://admin.substack.com/discover/stocks/HOOD" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">HOOD -0.95%↓</a>). Bought for $1.70 on&nbsp;<a href="https://portfolioarmor.substack.com/p/trade-alert-euphoria" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">11/12/2024</a>; sold (half) for $6 on&nbsp;<a href="https://portfolioarmor.substack.com/p/trade-alert-euphoria/comment/78815933" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">11/25/2024</a>.&nbsp;Profit: 253%.</li>
</ol>
The logic behind Tesla being a Trump trade was pretty simple: Tesla (and SpaceX) have been targets of lawfare by the Biden Administration, and under Trump, all that should go away. Elon Musk has gone from a Trump supporter to practically part of the Trump family. President Trump's niece Kai calls him "Uncle Elon"; when President Trump went to the UFC this month with his two oldest sons as part of his entourage, it was Elon Musk who sat next to him at cage side.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Our Number One Name Now</h3>
As of Monday's close, Tesla was Portfolio Armor's #1 name again, so we're going to place another bullish options bet on it today. In addition to Tesla, we're going to place bullish bets on three other stocks in our current top ten:
<ul>
<li>A picks &amp; shovels play on AI.</li>
<li>An insurance company powered by AI.</li>
<li>A consumer finance company that should benefit from lower rates.</li>
</ul>
In each case, we'll be using call spreads expiring 4-to-6 months out, and we'll be aiming for price targets slightly lower than those suggested by the current at-the-market straddle (i.e. the current range expected by the options market).
We'll be aiming for gains of 200% to 400% if we're right, and if we're wrong, our max loss on each trade will be 100%.

Our Number One Name: Tesla

Key Takeaways:
<ul>
<li>Starbucks is considering bringing in partners to its China operation, as same-store sales in its second-largest market plunge during a bloody local coffee price war</li>
<li>The coffee giant has faced multiple challenges in China, from severe restrictions during the pandemic to growing consumer caution and fierce competition.</li>
</ul>
By Xiao Lin
In rocky waters, you often need more than one paddle to steady your boat. That seems to be the case for&nbsp;Starbucks Corp.&nbsp;(NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/sbux#NASDAQ">SBUX</a>), as the world&rsquo;s largest coffee chain explores potential partnerships in China, its second largest market after only the U.S.
In a statement to the media, the Seattle-based firm said it is working to find the best path back to growth in China, which includes exploring strategic partnerships &mdash; moves aimed at navigating increasing challenges in a country that was once its fastest growing market. Such partnerships, often with local companies, were initially the norm for most restaurant operators when they started to enter the unfamiliar Chinese market in the 1990s.
&ldquo;We are fully committed to our business and partners, and to growing in China,&rdquo; Starbucks said in a statement to numerous media, after Bloomberg reported last Thursday the company had informally gauged interest from prospective investors, including local private equity firms. &ldquo;We are working to find the best path to growth, which includes exploring strategic partnerships.&rdquo;
In addition to global private equity, Starbucks might also consider a sale of part of its China operation to Chinese conglomerates or other local companies with experience in the industry, the Bloomberg report said.
Starbucks&rsquo; shares edged up slightly after its announcement last Thursday. The stock is roughly flat over the past 12 months, and still trades at an elevated price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 31 &ndash; ahead of a 25 for&nbsp;McDonald&rsquo;s&nbsp;(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/mcd#NYSE">MCD</a>) and 21 for&nbsp;Yum China&nbsp;(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/yumc#NYSE">YUMC</a>), operator of KFC and Pizza Hut restaurants in China.
When Starbucks opened its first store in Beijing in 1999, it found itself not only facing a more regulated environment than it was used to, but also the equally big challenge of selling to a tea-drinking culture where Nestl&eacute; instant coffee defined most people&rsquo;s understanding of its signature product. It formed a series of joint ventures with local partners to better find its way in the market, but later bought all of them out.
Fast forward to the present, where, with over 7,500 stores, the company is now grappling with more frugal consumers and intense competition from local rivals, prompting it to consider a return to partnerships to weather difficult times. Such partners not only offer more resources, but can also help spread the risk of owning such a large operation worth billions of dollars.
If Starbucks&rsquo; China U-turn sounds familiar, it&rsquo;s because it&rsquo;s not the first major foreign chain to change tack midway through its China story. In 2017, after nearly three decades in the country, McDonald&rsquo;s (MCD.N) sold a majority 52% stake in its China and Hong Kong operations to a consortium led by state-owned conglomerate Citic and American investment firm&nbsp;Carlyle&nbsp;(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/cg#NYSE">CG</a>), after sales started declining and a food scandal dragged down its global sales.
<h3>Coffee Greenfield</h3>
When Starbucks opened its first store in Beijing&rsquo;s Guomao area 25 years ago, it did so through a joint venture with Beijing Mei Da Coffee Co. out of necessity, since wholly owned foreign restaurants weren&rsquo;t allowed at that time. The store offered cappuccinos for about 19 yuan, or $2.60, which was about 5% of the monthly average per capita income at that time. It later established two more joint ventures: one with Maxim&rsquo;s to run stores in Hong Kong and South China&rsquo;s Guangdong province, and another with Taiwan&rsquo;s Uni-President to run stores in Shanghai and nearby regions.
In late 2004, China started allowing foreign restaurant operators to wholly own their local businesses as part of its commitments after joining the World Trade Organization in 2001. Starbucks started acquiring stakes from its local partners, and by 2017 it obtained full control of its entire China operation.
Starbucks had nearly 3,000 stores across China by the end of that year and was opening a new store every 15 hours to serve an increasingly affluent and status-conscious middle class. Its revenue in the China and Asia Pacific region increased by 10% in 2017, following 23% growth the previous year.
Things went well for the next two years, with Starbucks&rsquo; net revenue in China increasing by 38% in 2018 and 19% in 2019, when the country officially became its second largest market. After a difficult year in 2020 when many of its stores were forced to close at the start of the pandemic, Starbucks came roaring back in China in 2021 with 42% revenue growth as the country was able to bring its Covid outbreaks under control.
But things have gotten tough over the last two years, both in China and worldwide. The company&rsquo;s global same-store sales declined 7% in its latest quarter through September, dragged down by a 14% decline in its China operation.
China contributed about 9% of Starbucks&rsquo; total revenues of $36.2 billion in the 12 months through September. In the company&rsquo;s latest earnings call, newly installed CEO Brian R. Niccol told investors he needed to spend more time in China to understand the challenges.
<h4>Struggling Sector</h4>
Starbucks and the catering sector certainly aren&rsquo;t the only ones in China facing difficulty, as a stream of regulatory crackdowns on various sectors over the last few years and a slowing economy that&rsquo;s hurting consumer sentiment take their toll on businesses across the board.
But the food and beverage industry has taken one of the harder hits, following an initial boom in dining out after China reopened in early 2023. More than 1 million restaurants reportedly closed in the first six months of 2024, according to media reports, citing business registry searches.
The coffee sector is taking a harder hit than many of its catering peers as the aggressive&nbsp;Luckin&nbsp;(OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/lkncy#OTC">LKNCY</a>) and&nbsp;Cotti Coffee&nbsp;engage in a price war by selling much of their premium coffee for just 9.9 yuan, or about $1.40, per cup. Others joining in the coffee war include Yum China with its KCOFFEE sold at its main KFC chain and in adjacent stores. Even e-commerce is getting involved with premium instant coffees like Saturnbird, which are primarily sold on platforms like Alibaba&rsquo;s Taobao at even lower prices.
While the average monthly income in China is now more than 50 times higher than in 1999, a cup of Starbucks cappuccino priced at about 30 yuan can still seem expensive to consumers when they can buy Luckin or Cotti for just a third of the cost. That reality is becoming increasingly clear as consumers become more frugal in the current economic climate.
