<h2 class="wp-block-heading">If You Bought National Health Investors Stock 10 Years Ago</h2>
The company's stock traded at approximately $70.66 per share 10 years ago. If you had invested $10,000, you could have bought roughly 142 shares. Currently, shares trade at $70.20, meaning your investment's value could have declined to $9,935 from stock price depreciation. However, National Health Investors also paid dividends during these 10 years.&nbsp;
National Health Investors' dividend yield is currently 5.04%. Over the last 10 years, it has paid about $38.91 in dividends per share, which means you could have made $5,507 from dividends alone.&nbsp;
Summing up $9,935 and $5,507, we end up with the final value of your investment, which is $15,442. This is how much you could have made if you had invested $10,000 in National Health Investors stock 10 years ago. This means a total return of 54.42%. However, this figure is significantly less than the S&amp;P 500 total return for the same period, which was 193.10%.

National Health Investors has a consensus rating of "Hold" and a price target of $68 based on the ratings of 14 analysts. The price target implies a more than 3% potential downside from the current stock price.

If You Invested $10K In National Health Investors Stock 10 Years Ago, How Much Would You Have Now?

Alibaba, Jpmorgan, Carmax, Janover, Tesla: Why These 5 Stocks Are On Investors' Radars Today

U.S. stock futures fell on Thursday night as investors prepared to close a volatile trading week marked by dramatic market swings. 
Nasdaq-100 futures led declines, dropping 1.26% to 18,251.75, while S&amp;P 500 futures fell 1.04% to 5,247.00 and Dow futures slipped 0.88% to 39,448.00.
Japan's Nikkei 225 tumbled 5.39% to 32,744.89 in early Friday trading, shedding 1,864 points amid global market volatility. U.S. Treasury yields rose, with the 10-year up 8.4 basis points to 4.47% and the 30-year up 9.6 basis points to 4.94%.
Gold prices surged, with June COMEX contracts rising 1.61% to $3,228.60 as demand for safe-haven assets increased.
Markets remain on edge after President Donald Trump rolled out a temporary 10% universal tariff on most imports, while slapping China with a steep 145% duty, the White House <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/10/trumps-triple-digit-tariff-essentially-cuts-off-most-trade-with-china-says-economist.html">told</a> CNBC. Still, Trump struck a hopeful tone, expressing confidence in eventually <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44740040/chinas-growth-outlook-dims-as-trumps-125-tariffs-put-millions-of-jobs-at-risk-goldman-warns">reaching a deal with Beijing</a>.

The comments helped major indexes trim earlier losses, with the S&amp;P 500 tracked by SPDR S&amp;P 500 (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) closed at 5,268, down 3.46% after falling more than 4% midday.

US Stock Futures Fall, Nikkei Crashes Over 5% As Markets Reel From Trump's Tariff Shock

The U.S. government has spent roughly $40 million in just six weeks to detain fewer than 400 migrants at the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/01/43350606/trump-pledges-to-send-up-to-30000-migrants-to-guantanamo-bay-detention-facility">Guantánamo Bay</a> Naval Base in Cuba, according to estimates shared by anonymous congressional aides with <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/31/us/politics/migrants-guantanamo-costs.html#">The New York Times</a>. This operation, part of President Donald Trump's broader immigration enforcement efforts, has raised serious concerns among lawmakers, particularly regarding its high cost and military impact.
A Senate delegation visited Guantánamo in late March to assess the mission. The lawmakers toured the facilities, met with service members and officials, and came away highly critical of the effort. Sen. Jack Reed of Rhode Island, the ranking Democrat on the Senate Armed Services Committee, told The Times that the operation is "extraordinarily expensive and unnecessary," saying those resources could be better used to strengthen existing immigration facilities in the US.

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why Guantánamo?</h2>
The decision to use Guantánamo Bay, known for housing terrorism suspects, for immigration detention is both logistically complex and financially burdensome. The base is isolated from the rest of Cuba by a minefield and must generate its own electricity and water supply. Supplies are flown or shipped in from Florida. As a result, housing even a small number of people there comes at a steep cost.
Since February, the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/02/43882547/dhs-fires-fema-officials-after-deep-state-activists-sent-59m-to-nyc-migrant-hotels-trump-admin-claws-it-back">Department of Homeland Security</a> has transferred about 400 migrants to the base, many of them Venezuelan. Roughly half have since been moved back to the US or deported. At one point, as few as 85 people were being held, even as nearly 1,000 U.S. government employees, mostly military personnel, were assigned to the mission.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Military Involvement Raises Concerns</h2>
Lawmakers are also questioning the use of military resources for a task traditionally handled by civilian immigration authorities. In a joint <a href="https://www.reed.senate.gov/news/releases/after-visiting-guantanamo-bay-senators-blast-trump-admin-for-wasting-taxpayer-dollars-and-misusing-military-resources">statement</a>, Sens. Reed, Jeanne Shaheen, Gary Peters, Alex Padilla, and Angus King said that troops were "rushed to Guantánamo Bay without notice, leaving their critical day-to-day military missions behind in order to build tents that should never be filled and guard immigrants who should never be held there."
The senators emphasized that their concern lies with the mission — not the service members. "Our troops in Guantánamo have a uniquely difficult, demanding job," the statement read, praising their professionalism. Still, the lawmakers argued that using Guantánamo for migrant detention diverts military focus and may even be legally questionable.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Legal and Transparency Questions Remain</h2>
So far, the administration has offered little public explanation about who is being sent to Guantánamo and why. A secret agreement between the Department of Defense and Homeland Security reportedly allows for the transfer of migrants with ties to transnational criminal organizations. However, some individuals sent to the base were only found to have crossed the border illegally — some more than once — but without any known violent criminal history.

According to The Times, the most recent detainees included Nicaraguans described by DHS as "gang members," though the government has not provided supporting details. Questions about the operation's legality and oversight continue to draw scrutiny, particularly from members of Congress who say they've been kept in the dark.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Calls for an End to the Program</h2>
Following their visit, the senators urged the Trump administration to "immediately cease this misguided mission," calling it "unsustainably expensive" and "harmful to our military readiness." Despite their statement, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement transported more migrants to the base just hours after their visit ended.
While <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44447338/donald-trump-administration-to-strip-legal-protections-from-over-half-a-million-migrants-as-he-argues-joe-bidens-parole-programs-overstepped-federal-law">immigration enforcement</a> remains a central political issue, the Guantánamo operation raises new questions about cost, efficiency, and the role of the military in civilian matters. For now, one thing is clear: the use of this high-security base for a small group of migrants has sparked a heated debate—one likely to continue in the months ahead.

<li>Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller says he's "a big advocate of stablecoins"</li>
<li>Voicing his support for stablecoin acts like the GENIUS act and the STABLE act, he says he sees no need for the government to develop a coin of its own</li>
<li>"I prefer to let the private sector handle these problems," he told audiences at a NY Fed event</li>
</ul>
Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller said that he's a fan of stablecoins and believes they have a place in the payment system, but does not see the need for the government to adopt one of their own.&nbsp;
"I&#8217;ll say I&#8217;m a personal, big advocate of stablecoins. I have been saying this for over three-plus years now, about how this could bring competition, efficiency and speed into the payments system,&#8221; he told audience members at a conference held by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York on Friday, according to <a href="https://www.reuters.com/technology/feds-waller-stablecoins-bring-benefits-payment-system-2025-04-04/">Reuters</a>.&nbsp;

A stablecoin is a type of cryptocurrency that is designed to have a stable price. Their value is attached to that of another asset, like gold or a government-issued currency, in order to maintain a more consistent value. Originally designed to help bridge the gap between traditional finance and cryptocurrencies, there are currently around 200 globally distributed stablecoins on the market.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Recently, two stablecoin-oriented bills have been working their way through Congress. The Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins of 2025, or the <a href="https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/senate-bill/394/text/is">GENIUS Act of 2025</a>, and the Stablecoin Transparency and Accountability for a Better Ledger Economy Act of 2025, or the <a href="https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/2392/text/ih?overview=closed&amp;format=xml">STABLE Act of 2025</a>, both seek to provide a comprehensive regulatory framework for stablecoins. The difference between the bills lies in their scope and approach, but the passing of either one would increase the chances of Congress passing a law certifying stablecoins as a global financial tool.&nbsp;

Thus far, stablecoin legislation has received bipartisan support. But Waller said Friday that he saw no need for the government to create its own stablecoin should either of the bills pass. "I prefer to let the private sector solve these problems,&#8221; Reuters quoted him as saying. &#8220;It&#8217;s not my job as an unelected bureaucrat to tell everybody how they should do things."
As for the concerns that tons of new stablecoins will flood the market should the legislation pass, Waller said watchers shouldn't worry. "I don't think… there's going to be 100 stablecoins circulating after the legislation happens." Though two companies, Tether and Codex, have already indicated that they will make moves to establish their own stablecoins in the US as soon as there are regulations firmly in place, according to the <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/1b3cccad-ad33-4dd9-b2b6-1514f80e39ad">Financial Times</a> and <a href="https://fortune.com/crypto/2025/04/04/codex-seed-round-dragonfly-coinbase-circle-15-8-million/">Fortune</a>.&nbsp;
Waller's stance on crypto aligns with President Donald Trump's, who promised last month to make the US "the crypto capital of the world."&nbsp;

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) blasted President Donald Trump over his tariff policy last week, warning that it could result in serious economic damage for American families. She also invoked Republican icon Ronald Reagan to drive home her point.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Referencing Reagan</h2>
To reinforce her message, Pelosi <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44269552/ronald-reagan-warned-that-tariffs-destroy-prosperity-trump-is-doubling-them-anyway-and-now-us-tech-giants-like-apple-and-nvidia-are-bracing-for-impact">quoted Reagan</a>: &#8220;We should beware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends – weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world – all while cynically waving the American flag.&#8221; She added, &#8220;President Reagan's words were true then and they're true today.&#8221;
She also urged Republicans in Congress to reconsider their support for Trump's trade agenda.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Medicaid Cuts and Tax Breaks for Billionaires</h2>
Just weeks earlier, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43612979/nancy-pelosi-says-extreme-maga-republicans-have-revealed-their-tax-scam-to-plunder-medicaid-for-giving-tax-cuts-to-billionaires">Pelosi took aim</a> at what she called a &#8220;tax scam&#8221; by &#8220;extreme MAGA Republicans&#8221; that she claims is designed to slash Medicaid in order to fund tax breaks for billionaires.

&#8220;Extreme MAGA Republicans revealed their tax scam to raid Medicaid to give more tax cuts to billionaires,&#8221; she <a href="https://x.com/TeamPelosi/status/1889100925673054462">shared</a> on X. &#8220;But we can stop them! We&#8217;ve done it before — we saved Social Security in 2006, the Affordable Care Act in 2018 and we&#8217;ll stop them now to save the ACA, Medicare and Medicaid.&#8221;
Pelosi described Republican efforts in Congress as &#8220;unbearable for people on Medicare and Medicaid,&#8221; and called for public pressure to stop the cuts, urging &#8220;outside mobilization.&#8221;
The Trump administration&#8217;s agenda has been stalled in Congress because of internal Republican disagreements on how deep the cuts to Medicaid should go.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Broader Context and Fallout</h2>
The debate over tariffs and spending cuts comes amid other major moves by the Trump administration. A temporary freeze on federal grants and loans has put $3 trillion in funding under review. Around the same time, the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43294006/trump-white-house-blames-outage-for-medicaid-website-lockout-we-have-confirmed-no-payments-have-been-affected">Medicaid website experienced an outage</a>, which the White House blamed on a technical issue.
The Department of Government Efficiency, headed by Elon Musk, has also begun auditing the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, with Musk claiming there is &#8220;big money fraud&#8221; in the system. The agency is under pressure to cut at least $1 trillion in federal spending.

'Trump's Tariffs Will Drain Retirement Savings, Push Us To The Brink Of Recession,' Says Nancy Pelosi While Quoting Ronald Reagan

You may want that new car. The smell, the shine, the 0% financing—what's not to love?
But Dave Ramsey just reminded everyone why that shiny $72,000 BMW might actually be torching your financial future. In a <a href="https://www.facebook.com/share/r/16FzUzF3Aa/?mibextid=wwXIfr">viral Facebook post</a>, he dropped a meme featuring Adam Sandler green-screened into a car dealership, shaking his head, saying "No, no, no, don't say that," before punching a wall in frustration. The caption?
"When you're trading in your $72K BMW and the dealer offers you $17K but you still owe $49K on it."

</ul>
And Ramsey didn't stop there. He followed it up with a caption that hits harder than a monthly payment:
"That $72,000 BMW isn't just costing you a car payment. It's costing you your future."
He's not exaggerating. <a href="https://www.experian.com/blogs/ask-experian/average-car-loan-interest-rates-by-credit-score/">According to Experian</a>, the average new car loan now clocks in at $40,927, with monthly payments pushing $734 for 68.4 months. Meanwhile, car values plummet the second you drive off the lot.&nbsp;
"Let me break it down: Open your car window on the way to work once a week and toss out a $100 bill. That's what driving a new car really costs you."
Trending: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/vatom-adv">Invest in the Future of Digital Engagement. Own a Piece of the $100 Billion Metaverse Today for Just $500.</a>
He's not just talking about luxury vehicles, either. Even a "reasonable" $28,000 new car will lose around $17,000 in value over four years. That's about $100 a week in pure depreciation—money that vanishes whether you're financing at 7% or zero.
Ramsey's take on 0% interest? Not impressed."Even 0% interest isn't a deal. It's a distraction from the $17K you just lost in depreciation. You didn't get a car. You got taken."
Here's his rule: "No, you can't afford a new car <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44389799/why-dave-ramsey-says-your-typical-millionaire-may-look-just-like-your-next-door-neighbor">unless you are a millionaire</a> and can, therefore, afford to lose thousands of dollars, all in the name of the neat new-car smell."
He's not saying you'll never own a new car. But if dropping tens of thousands without blinking isn't an option, you're not ready for that kind of luxury.&nbsp;
"Until you have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42122576/dave-ramsey-guarantees-if-you-have-a-car-payment-you-will-be-broke-your-whole-life-heres-how-he-says-you-can-become-rich">so much money you can lose big bucks</a> and not notice, you can't afford the luxury."

Want to know what most millionaires drive? It's not a brand-new German badge with 48 payments attached.
"Most millionaires drive two-year-old used cars with no payments—not because they're too cheap to buy new, but because they know how money works."
And that's the real lesson. You might think you're buying freedom, style, status—but if you're not careful, you're buying debt, depreciation, and regret.
So before you fall for the 0% APR pitch, remember what Ramsey said. You didn't get a deal. You got taken.

Dave Ramsey Says If You Want To Know What Driving A New Car Really Costs, 'Open Your Car Window Once A Week And Toss Out A $100 Bill'

BofA Securities analyst Craig Siegenthaler downgraded Cboe Global Markets Inc. (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CBOE#BATS">CBOE</a>) from Buy to Neutral, lowering the price <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/CBOE/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">target to $227 from $260</a>.
The analyst noted that while the broader diversified financials sector has declined 10% year-to-date amid the growing tariff dispute, CBOE Global Markets has stood out by delivering a 5% return —outperforming its peers by about 15%.
This strong performance, according to Siegenthaler, is largely attributed to CBOE&#8217;s defensive business model, which tends to benefit during periods of heightened market volatility and increased trading volumes.
However, despite the solid year-to-date gains, the analyst expressed caution going forward.

The stock's recent outperformance has led to a &#8220;higher relative valuation&#8221; compared to peers.
Siegenthaler pointed out that CBOE&#8217;s next 12 months, or NTM price-to-earnings ratio, has increased by 2% so far this year, while the average PE multiple for the broader diversified financials sector has dropped by 13%. As a result, CBOE now appears about 15% more expensive compared to its peers on a relative valuation basis.
The analyst also pointed to potential deceleration in trading volumes during the second half of 2025, which could weigh on future performance.
Siegenthaler writes that the first half of 2025 will likely mark the cyclical peak for exchange volumes, with a significant decline expected in the second half.
The analyst projects a 6% drop in volumes from the first to the second half of the year, and only a 7% year-over-year increase in total options volume for 2H25.
The analyst is especially concerned about the retail trading segment, where participation may fall due to poor investor performance so far this year.
Siegenthaler lowered earnings estimates for the second half of 2025 and the following years.
The new projections are $4.60 for the second half of 2025, $9.89 for 2026, and $11.37 for 2027 — down from previous estimates of $5.07, $11.16, and $12.99, respectively.
CBOE Price Action: CBOE shares closed Thursday up 2.05% to $210.02.

CBOE Loses Its Edge? Analyst Downgrades Stock On Valuation Worries, Volume Slowdown

Goldman Sachs analyst Mark Delaney upgraded BorgWarner Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BWA#NYSE">BWA</a>) from Neutral to Buy, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/BWA/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">with a price forecast of $34</a>.
Per Delaney, BorgWarner has a below-average level of U.S. imports, which means it faces relatively limited risk from ongoing or future tariffs.
In contrast to many Western suppliers that have struggled in China due to an unfavorable customer mix, BorgWarner stands out with a stronger positioning in the region.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44746593/goldman-sachs-hits-the-brakes-auto-tariffs-slumping-demand-may-shake-up-ford-tesla-rivian-lear-visteon" rel="noreferrer noopener">Goldman Sachs Hits The Brakes: Auto Tariffs &amp; Slumping Demand May Shake Up Ford, Tesla, Rivian, Lear &amp; Visteon</a>
Around 20% of the company's total revenue comes from China, and approximately 75% is tied to domestic Chinese original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). About 90% of its eProduct business in China is also linked to these domestic OEMs.
Delaney highlighted that BorgWarner's hybrid and internal combustion engine products are expected to have a longer runway, and the company's broad portfolio—which includes products for all powertrain types—positions it well to navigate evolving market trends.
The analyst also highlighted that BorgWarner has a number of upcoming product launches with domestic Chinese auto OEMs, further strengthening its foothold in this key market.
With higher content per vehicle opportunities in both hybrid and battery electric vehicles, BorgWarner is expected to benefit from the rising share of hybrid volumes in the near to medium term.
While its eProduct division is still operating at a loss, the analyst stated that ongoing restructuring efforts, coupled with long-term growth, will help the company move toward profitability.
Price Action: BWA shares closed lower by 4.54% to $25.67 on Thursday.

<h3>A Look at Interactive Brokers Group P/E Relative to Its Competitors</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of 18.84 in the Capital Markets industry, Interactive Brokers Group Inc. has a higher P/E ratio of 24.63. Shareholders might be inclined to think that Interactive Brokers Group Inc. might perform better than its industry group. It's also possible that the stock is overvalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1744322460_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.
