A caller from Oklahoma named Daniel reached out in an April <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DIcu7c07veE">episode</a> of "The Ramsey Show" to ask whether he should halt contributions to his 401(k) because his church encouraged members to help finance a building project.&nbsp;
"If they said this, this is not biblical," career coach and author Ken Coleman replied, while personal finance expert and radio host Dave Ramsey advised that prioritizing church fundraising over financial stability is unwise.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Church Or Nest Egg</h2>
"Change churches if someone's doing this," Ramsey said, stressing the importance of maintaining financial priorities. Both hosts agreed that while scripture encourages generosity, it doesn't endorse reckless giving. Ramsey emphasized that faith-aligned financial planning means providing for one's future while supporting others responsibly.

</ul>
He went on to describe the caller's dilemma as potentially a "money grab" by the church—highlighting how some appeals for giving, if unchecked, can place unfair pressure on members to sacrifice their long-term financial health.
According to the <a href="https://www.newyorkfed.org/medialibrary/interactives/householdcredit/data/pdf/HHDC_2025Q2">Federal Reserve Bank of New York's</a> total U.S. household debt reached $18.39 trillion in the second quarter, up $185 billion, or 1%, from the first three months of the year. The high debt levels leave many households with limited flexibility for unexpected expenses or unplanned financial decisions.
Ramsey's stance aligns with his company's guidance: tithe faithfully, budget intentionally, and invest 15% of gross income toward retirement, as outlined in "<a href="https://everydollar.help.ramseysolutions.com/hc/en-us/articles/38482427143437-Baby-Step-4-Invest-15-of-Your-Household-Income-in-Retirement">Baby Step 4</a>" on the Ramsey Solutions website.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Tithes Versus Offerings</h2>
Ramsey explains that a tithe is exactly 10% of income; anything beyond is an offering that should never derail personal solvency. "The Bible says you should save for your needs—in the house of the wise are stores of choice food and oil," he said, emphasizing the importance of diligence and financial preparedness.
That caution matters more than ever: <a href="https://www.bankrate.com/banking/savings/emergency-savings-report/">according</a> to Bankrate, only 46% of adults have enough savings to cover three months of expenses. Ramsey said, "Wise people save money," echoing Proverbs 21:20, and advised building an emergency fund before writing extra checks to any ministry.

Numbers underscore Daniel's tension. <a href="https://www.aboutschwab.com/schwab-401k-participant-survey-2025">Charles Schwab</a>'s "2025 Workplace Plan Participant Survey," conducted by Logica Research between April and May, found that just 34% of 401(k) participants feel very likely to meet their retirement goals, underscoring growing pessimism amid inflation. Participants expect to need $1.6 million for a 22-year retirement—an amount many say feels out of reach amid rising prices.
Despite economic concerns, the survey found only 11% have reduced their 401(k) contributions, most are trimming discretionary spending and opting for cheaper items instead. Ramsey applauded the discipline and advised listeners not to raid retirement accounts—even for church projects—emphasizing the long-term cost of interrupting compound growth.

He Asked If He Should Skip Retirement To Fund His Church — Dave Ramsey Called It A Possible 'Money Grab'

A recent survey of North American CFOs shows a notable shift in attitude <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/crypto">when it comes to cryptocurrency,</a> with 99% of CFOs now seeing it playing a role in their business. No, that's not a typo, as massive adoption continues to take place.
The near-term outlook is changing too. According to a Deloitte <a href="https://www.deloitte.com/us/en/insights/topics/business-strategy-growth/2q-2025-cfo-signals-survey.html">survey</a>, nearly a quarter (23%) of CFOs expect their treasury departments to use crypto for payments or investments within the next two years. Among the biggest companies — those with $10B+ in revenue — that number jumps to almost 40%.
This doesn't mean everyone's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/BTC-USD">jumping into Bitcoin</a>. In fact, price volatility remains the top concern for executives, followed closely by accounting complexity and regulatory uncertainty. Still, there's growing interest in crypto.
So what does this mean for advisors? It's a great reminder that crypto is moving beyond speculative investing and into a more stable environment with institutions and major companies diving in — which should lessen volatility as more business and people adopt it.
There's also a generational layer. Millennials and Gen Z are already comfortable <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/digital-assets">with digital assets.</a> If they see large, established companies legitimizing crypto — especially in everyday business use — that would shift their mindset even faster to making it more part of their lives.
This shift isn't happening overnight. But it is happening. And it's no longer just a tech trend — it's creeping into boardrooms, treasury departments, and enterprise balance sheets.

Crypto In The C-Suite? Why CFOs Are Finally Paying Attention

Tech billionaire and Palantir Technologies co-founder Peter Thiel was one of the early believers in Bitcoin's (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) decentralized ethos and described the leading cryptocurrency as a &#8220;moderately big invention&#8221; not too long ago.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Bitcoin&#8217;s Rise Compared To Internet Boom</h2>
During the Joe Rogan Experience podcast, which aired August 2024, Thiel dubbed the $2 trillion asset a "pretty big deal" that was "systematically underestimated" in its first 10-11 years.
"It went up smoothly for 10-11 years, didn&#8217;t get repriced all at once," he said. "We are in a world where nothing big ever happens and so we have no way of processing it when something pretty big happens."

Thiel, who also co-founded PayPal, compared the phenomenon to the Internet boom in the late 90's., stating, &#8220;Internet is really big. Bitcoin is moderately big."

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Is Bitcoin Still Underestimated?</h2>
A lot has changed for Bitcoin since Thiel made these observations.
Donald Trump's re-election and vocal support for Bitcoin spurred optimism and further capital inflows into the apex cryptocurrency. Earlier this year, Trump famously <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/06/46148904/donald-trump-says-bitcoin-takes-a-lot-of-pressure-off-the-dollar">said that BTC is helping relieve pressure</a> on the U.S. dollar and that it's "great" for the country.
Trump also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44183572/trump-establishes-strategic-bitcoin-reserve-funded-by-forfeited-assets-i-made-the-promise">signed an executive order</a> to establish a Bitcoin national reserve, funded&nbsp;with BTC seized by the&nbsp;federal government.
Significant progress has also been achieved on the legislative front, with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/07/46484988/us-house-passes-crucial-crypto-bills-from-sec-chair-paul-atkins-to-coinbase-ceo-brian-armstrong-heres-how-everyone-reacted">key cryptocurrency bills</a>, aimed at establishing clear guidelines for the industry, passing in the Congress.
One would think Bitcoin is no longer "underestimated," as Thiel mentioned earlier.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Thiel&#8217;s Past Bets On Bitcoin</h2>
Thiel's venture capital firm, Founders Fund, has had a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/02/37087400/peter-thiels-founders-fund-bets-big-on-bitcoin-and-ether-with-200m-investment-report#google_vignette" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">significant history with Bitcoin.</a> The fund made $1.8 billion through Bitcoin investments just before the market collapsed in 2022. It then purchased another $100 million in Bitcoin in 2023, when it was trading below $30,000.
Thiel, who still holds some Bitcoin, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/07/39569413/billionaire-peter-thiel-voices-skepticism-on-bitcoins-future-growth-im-not-sure-its-going-">expressed regret last year</a> for not purchasing more of the digital currency.

Peter Thiel Once Said Bitcoin Was 'Systematically Underestimated' For Years — Does This Still Hold True Today?

Tom Essaye, founder of Sevens Report, has raised concerns about a potential stock market bubble, driven largely by the artificial intelligence (AI) trade. 
What Happened: Essaye voiced his apprehensions regarding the health of the AI trade. Despite the S&amp;P 500 nearing all-time highs following a 28% rally since April, and a 57% gain since the announcement of ChatGPT in November 2022, the SOX index remains below its July 2024 highs.
The PHLX Semiconductor Index (SOX), Essaye suggests, is a key indicator of this looming threat, reports <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/stock-market-crash-ai-bubble-signal-sox-semiconductor-index-sp500-2025-8">the </a>Insider. 
According to Essaye, this divergence in performance could signal an unhealthy market rally, largely fueled by the AI narrative. 
He warned that if the SOX index starts to decline significantly, the S&amp;P 500 is likely to follow suit. &#8220;Comparing the index&#8217;s performance to the S&amp;P 500 over the last couple of years shows this bull market in equities has a serious problem,&#8221; he said.
Further signs of a potential bubble include a weakening US economic outlook and poor job gains over the last few months, raising fears of a recession.

Essaye emphasized the importance of closely monitoring economic data, as the S&amp;P 500&#8217;s rapid ~85% rally since October 2022 leaves the equity market vulnerable to significant downside, pending economic resilience.
The warning from Essaye comes at a time when the stock market has been on a tear, largely driven by the AI trade. The SOX index, which tracks semiconductor stocks, is a key barometer of the health of the AI trade. 
A significant decline in the SOX index could potentially signal a broader market downturn. This, coupled with a weakening US economic outlook and poor job gains, raises fears of a recession. 
Investors and market watchers would do well to heed Essaye&#8217;s advice and closely monitor economic data. 
The rapid rally of the S&amp;P 500 since October 2022 leaves the equity market vulnerable to significant downside, pending economic resilience.

Strategist Warns Key AI Stock Index Is Flashing Bubble Warning: 'This Bull Market in Equities Has a Serious Problem'

Jeff Bezos, the Amazon.com, Inc. founder, once revealed that quality rest and fewer, smarter decisions—not hustle culture—are the keys to long-term leadership success.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Bezos On Prioritizing Sleep And High-IQ Mornings</h2>
In a 2018 interview with billionaire investor David Rubenstein, Bezos explained why he structures his day around rest, family time, and high-quality decision-making.
"I like to putter in the morning," Bezos said, adding he reads the newspaper, drinks coffee and has breakfast with his kids.&nbsp; This is because he values mental clarity; he schedules all his mentally demanding meetings for 10 a.m. and avoids major decisions after 5 p.m.
Bezos also stressed the importance of sleep, saying he gets eight hours a night whenever possible. "I think better, I have more energy, and my mood is better," he said. "As a senior executive, you get paid to make a small number of high-quality decisions," adding that he doesn't think a person in his position should risk lower quality by being tired.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Buffett's Philosophy: Fewer, Smarter Choices</h2>
Bezos cited Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett's minimalist decision-making style as a model: "Warren Buffett says he's good if he makes three good decisions a year," adding, "I make like three good decisions a day."
He also said that Amazon's senior leaders operate with a long-term mindset and are already working on strategies that will materialize in future quarters.
"That quarter was baked three years ago," Bezos remarked when complimented on strong results. "I'm working on a quarter that'll show in 2021," he said during the interview in 2018.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Stark Contrast With Elon Musk's Approach</h2>
Bezos' philosophy <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/05/32392915/sleepless-billionaire-ceos-do-you-get-more-sleep-than-elon-musk-and-jeff-bezos">stands in sharp contrast</a> with Tesla Inc. CEO Elon Musk, who has said he works over 120 hours a week and gets just six hours of sleep a night. Musk's sleep-deprived grind has become legendary—but it's not without risks.
Medical research, including a 2017 study in the journal Annals of Neurology, shows that sleep deprivation can impair decision-making and increase risk-taking.
Bezos joins a group of successful figures, including Albert Einstein and Winston Churchill, who championed sleep as essential. While hustle culture persists, his message is clear: Great leadership isn't about burning out—it's about being present, sharp, and forward-thinking.

Jeff Bezos Once Said Great Leaders Need More Sleep, Not More Hours — Amazon Founder Then Explained His Point Using This Warren Buffett Rule

For many, the era of work-life balance is coming to a close.&nbsp;
&#8220;The spillover from home life to work life is not of concern to bosses these days,&#8221; Yale management professor Jeffrey Sonnenfeld told <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/companies-hardcore-era-employee-changes-att-memo-2025-8">Business Insider</a> recently. "It&#8217;s not the time to talk about what makes your creature comforts so different from everybody else&#8217;s, that somehow the company has to accommodate your needs.&#8221;
Within the last year, major companies like <a href="https://www.aboutamazon.com/news/company-news/ceo-andy-jassy-latest-update-on-amazon-return-to-office-manager-team-ratio">Amazon</a> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) and <a href="https://www.reuters.com/business/finance/jpmorgan-asks-staff-return-office-five-days-week-march-memo-shows-2025-01-10/">JPMorgan Chase</a> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>) enacted return-to-office mandates that required their employees to work in the office five days a week. <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/bank-of-america-sends-employees-letters-return-to-office-2024-1">Bank of America </a>(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>) followed suit, requiring employees to work in person and sending so-called "letters of education" to those who were slow to comply.

</ul>
Now, these companies and dozens of others are taking things a step further, shifting their cultures from balanced to hardcore.&nbsp;
Take Amazon, for example. This summer, it announced it would be emphasizing performance metrics when it came to evaluating corporate employees going forward, according to internal communication obtained by <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/amazon-stricter-performance-review-process-leadership-principles-2025-7">Business Insider</a>.&nbsp;
Similarly, a recent memo from AT&amp;T (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/T#NYSE">T</a>) CEO John Stankey, which was addressed to managers and obtained by <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/att-ceo-john-stankey-email-employee-feedback-survey-rto-policy-2025-8">Business Insider</a>, announced that big cultural changes were on the way.
The memo read, in part: "If the requirements dictated by [the return to office] dynamic do not align to your personal desires, you have every right to find a career opportunity that is suitable to your aspirations and needs…&nbsp; if a self-directed, virtual, or hybrid work schedule is essential for you to manage your career aspirations and life challenges, you will have a difficult time aligning your priorities with those of the company and the culture we aim to establish."
Trending: If there was a new fund backed by Jeff Bezos offering a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/arrived-private-credit-fund">7-9% target yield with monthly dividends would you invest in it</a>?
Experts tell Business Insider that those looking to stay employed or get ahead in their careers will have to adapt in this new era of hardcore work.&nbsp;&nbsp;
"If you are going to stay [at your workplace], you want to make sure that you are doing everything in your power to make it as enjoyable as possible,&#8221; Jennifer Moss, a workplace strategist and author of "Why Are We Here?" said. &#8220;It is a long life, and work plays a big role in our lifespan and our long-term health.&#8221;
She suggests building friendships with colleagues, using your lunch break to indulge in preferred hobbies, and spending time planning out your next career steps as ways to ensure you're maintaining some kind of balance.

For those who aren't sure they can get on board with this new hardcore culture, MyPerfectResume career expert Jasmine Escalera suggests figuring out what aspects of your current role you'd be willing to give up in order to find a better fit.
&#8220;What are you willing to adjust in order to receive that?&#8221; she said to Business Insider.
Amanda Goodall, whose business, The Job Chick, provides workforce intelligence for investors and executives, also advises unhappy employees against jumping ship without a plan.
&#8220;Don&#8217;t walk out right now. The job market is not nice,&#8221; she told Business Insider. &#8220;You&#8217;ve got to play the game, unfortunately.&#8221;

Work-Life Balance Is Out, Hardcore Culture Is In: How Experts Suggest You Adjust To The New Era Of Work

Investors are exhibiting growing concerns over the potential upheaval caused by artificial intelligence (AI) in various sectors. As a result, they are pulling out their investments from companies they perceive to be at risk.
What Happened: Companies such as&nbsp;Wix.com Ltd.,&nbsp;Shutterstock Inc., and&nbsp;Adobe Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADBE#NASDAQ">ADBE</a>) have been identified by Bank of America strategists as most susceptible to AI disruption. 
These firms have underperformed the S&amp;P 500 Index by roughly&nbsp;22 percentage points since mid-May, reports <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-08-09/traders-are-fleeing-stocks-feared-to-be-under-threat-from-ai?srnd=homepage-Americas">the </a>Bloomberg. 
Daniel Newman, CEO of the Futurum Group told the outlet, &#8220;The disruption is real.&#8221; He further noted that service-based businesses with a high headcount are particularly vulnerable, even if they were successful in the previous tech era.
Investors&#8217; defensive stance is reflected in the performance of companies like Wix.com and Shutterstock, which have seen their shares drop by at least 33% in 2025. 
Adobe&#8217;s shares have also fallen by 23% due to fears that clients will turn&nbsp;to AI platforms that can&nbsp;generate images and videos.
According to the Morgan Stanley, the results "added fuel to the AI disruption case," while Baird was left "incrementally concerned AI risks are having an impact."

"There are a lot of pockets of the market that could be basically annihilated by AI, or at least the industry will see extreme disruption, and companies will be rendered irrelevant," said Adam Sarhan, chief executive officer at 50 Park Investments. 
"Any company where you're paying someone to do something that AI can do faster and cheaper will be wiped out. Think graphic design, administrative work, data-analysis," he added. 
Why It Matters: Despite the growing anxiety about AI&#8217;s impact, some companies expected to be negatively affected by AI are thriving. 
For instance, language-learning app Duolingo Inc. has seen its stock double over the past year, partly due to its successful integration of AI into its strategy.
However, the defensive moves by investors underscore the dominant role AI has played in determining&nbsp;winners and losers in the&nbsp;stock market this year. 
Tech giants like&nbsp;Microsoft Corp.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) and&nbsp;Meta Platforms Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FB#NASDAQ">FB</a>) are investing heavily in AI, further intensifying the market&#8217;s focus on this technology.

Dog-themed cryptocurrency Shiba Inu (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/shib/usd">SHIB</a>) has seen a massive 643% increase in large holder netflows.
What Happened: According to data from IntoTheBlock, this surge indicates a bullish shift among the large holders or &#8216;whales&#8217; of Shiba Inu. A rise in large holder netflows typically signifies accumulation from these whales, which remains a positive sign.
This surge comes at a crucial time for Shiba Inu as it faces a significant&nbsp;test in its market momentum.&nbsp;The cryptocurrency&nbsp;is currently testing resistance at&nbsp;the 200-day SMA, currently at $0.00001371. 
To advance its bullish momentum, it needs to surpass this level and reach $0.000016 and then $0.00002.
As per the <a href="https://app.intotheblock.com/coin/SHIB/deep-dive?group=all&amp;chart=all">data</a>, after a seven-day&nbsp;drop to hit a low&nbsp;of $0.0000116 on July 28, Shiba Inu has rebounded since Aug. 2. The rally gained momentum on Aug. 6, with Shiba Inu managing to secure a position above the 50-day SMA at $0.00001277.

Shiba Inu team member Lucie&nbsp;recently predicted an ultra-bullish market as the cryptocurrency world&nbsp;anticipates altseason, a period where&nbsp;alternative cryptocurrencies or&nbsp;altcoins outperform with large price&nbsp;jumps.

Shiba Inu Witnesses Whopping 643% Surge in Large Holder Netflows

President Donald Trump&#8216;s executive order could potentially expose 401(k) retirement plans to the risks of private equity investments.
What Happened: Trump&#8217;s executive order, signed last week, makes it easier for alternative investments, including private equity, to be added to 401(k) accounts. This move has alarmed some experts who believe 401(k) should remain a simple, low-risk investment vehicle.
Private equity investments, often concentrated in a few portfolio companies, are less liquid than stocks and bonds, and carry valuations that can be challenging to measure daily, reports <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-private-equity-retirement-plan-risk-401k-retail-investor-warning-2025-7">the </a>Insider.  
Jeffrey Hooke, professor at the Johns Hopkins Carey Business School, voiced his concerns, stating, &#8220;Private equity kind of always gets what it wants in Congress, but I think it&#8217;s a bad idea. It&#8217;s illiquid, the fees are very high.&#8221;
Private equity firms have been lobbying the Trump administration for access to retirement vehicles, eyeing the $12 trillion 401(k) market as a liquidity opportunity.

This move is seen as an &#8220;exit ramp for the current situation going on for private equity,&#8221; according to Brian Payne, chief private markets and alternatives strategist at BCA Research.
Despite the potential for higher returns, private equity investments&nbsp;come with steep management fees&nbsp;and require more liquidity, which could decrease returns over the long term.&nbsp;&#8220;It&#8217;ll make the retirement plans&nbsp;suboptimal,&#8221; Hooke warned.
Why It Matters: The inclusion of private equity in 401(k) plans could potentially expose millions of Americans to high-risk investments. 
The illiquidity and high fees associated with private equity could undermine the stability and predictability of retirement savings. This move could also provide private equity firms with a significant liquidity opportunity, potentially leading to an increase in high-risk investments. 
The potential for decreased returns over the long term could have serious implications for the retirement plans of many Americans.

Shopify, Palantir, And Applovin Are Among Top Large Cap Gainers Last Week (August 4-August 8): Are The Others In Your Portfolio?

U.S.–Russia ceasefire feelers set the backdrop as President Donald Trump&#8217;s surprise gold-bar tariff and broader trade moves met resilient tech earnings, lifting Wall Street after a jobs miss and June inflation uptick, while oil<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> pared losses .</a>
Reports from Washington and Moscow indicate exploratory talks on a Ukraine ceasefire that could formalize some Russian territorial gains, with a Trump–Putin summit under consideration next week.
On trade, President Donald Trump announced a surprise U.S. import tariff on gold bars, a move seen pressuring Switzerland&#8217;s refining industry; the New York futures–spot spread widened to a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/macro-economic-events/25/08/46999430/trump-tariffs-gold-switzerland-federal-reserves" rel="noreferrer noopener">record $90/oz as bullion edged 0.1% higher to $3,400/oz.</a>

He also confirmed a 39% tariff on Swiss imports and imposed new duties on one-kilogram gold bars, a move that could pressure Swiss gold refineries and disrupt the gold futures market.

Consumer Tech News (August 4–August 8): Earnings From Palantir, Uber, Shopify & More Amid Trump's Tariff Saga

The past week has been a whirlwind of news in the world of cryptocurrency and finance. From Robert Kiyosaki&#8217;s bold predictions of the U.S. Federal Reserve to President Donald Trump&#8217;s potential penalties on banks, there&#8217;s a lot to unpack.
Let&#8217;s dive into the top stories of the week.
Robert Kiyosaki: Trump&#8217;s Crypto Vision
Author Robert Kiyosaki has offered his insights on the future of the U.S. Federal Reserve in light of recent developments in cryptocurrency policy. Kiyosaki believes that Trump&#8217;s dedication to making the U.S. a global hub for cryptocurrency could lead to the dissolution of the Federal Reserve. However, no official steps have been taken to either remove Fed Chairman Jerome Powell or disband the central bank.

Trump&#8217;s Penalties On Discriminatory Banks

Here's a look at the Benzinga Stock Whisper Index for the week ending August 8:
 Crown Holdings Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CCK#NYSE">CCK</a>): The metal packaging company saw increased interest from readers during the week. The interest comes after the company reported second quarter results on July 22. The company beat analyst estimates for earnings per share for a sixth straight quarter. The company also beat analyst estimates for revenue in the quarter, which was a fourth straight beat. Analysts <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/CCK/analyst-ratings">raised their price targets </a>after the quarterly results and as Crown Holdings reported strong third-quarter guidance and raised its full-year earnings per share estimates.

Unum Group (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNM#NYSE">UNM</a>): The insurance company saw strong interest from investors during the week. Unum reported quarterly results on July 29 with earnings per share missing analyst estimates and revenue missing analyst estimates. The company also lowered its full-year earnings per share guidance after the miss. Several analysts <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/UNM/analyst-ratings">lowered their price targets </a>after the results. With the company seeing strong interest and shares being down 5% year-to-date, the stock could be one to keep on the watchlist for a potential rebound.

EMCOR Group Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EME#NYSE">EME</a>): Investors are paying more attention to electrical and mechanical construction company EMCOR Group. The interest likely comes from recent second quarter results. The company beat analyst estimates for earnings per share for a 10th straight quarter. The company also beat revenue estimates, which was the eighth beat in the last 10 quarters. Investors are also likely equally impressed with the company raising full-year guidance for both earnings per share and revenue. While shares trade at all-time highs, the company has been consistently beating analyst estimates and showing strong results. Several analyst<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/EME/analyst-ratings"> raised their price targets</a> ahead of the quarterly earnings and DA Davidson maintained a Buy rating and took the price target from $725 after the quarterly results.

Agnico Eagle Mines (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AEM#NYSE">AEM</a>): Gold mining stocks have been popular among Benzinga readers in 2025 and many have found their way onto the Benzinga Stock Whisper Index. The latest candidate is Agnico Eagle Mines, which recently reported second quarter financial results. The company beat analyst estimates for both earnings per share and revenue. This was the company's seventh straight analyst beat for earnings per share and represented the sixth out of the last seven quarters beating revenue estimates. Agnico said it strengthened its balance sheet in the quarter, paying down long-term debt. Agnico was also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst-color/25/08/46789957/dominion-energy-shake-shack-ethan-allen-interiors-cnbc-final-trades">recently a recommendation</a> by Blue Line Capital founder Bill Baruch on CNBC's "Halftime Report." Baruch highlighted that Agnico beat estimates and almost doubled its free cash flow from the previous quarter.

Visa Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/V#NYSE">V</a>): The well-known credit card company finds its way onto the list with increased interest from investors. The company recently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/earnings/25/07/46705658/visa-q3-earnings-highlights-double-beat-ceo-says-consumer-spending-remains-resilient">reported third-quarter financial results</a>, beating both revenue and earnings per share estimates from analysts. Visa said its revenue growth was helped by year-over-year growth in payments volume, cross-border volume and processed transactions. Visa beat analyst estimates for earnings per share for a fourth straight quarter and for the ninth quarter out of the last 10 overall. The company also beat revenue estimates for a fourth straight quarter and ninth quarter out of the last 10. Analysts<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/V/analyst-ratings"> raised their price targets</a> on Visa stock after the quarter. There has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst-color/25/07/46736888/visa-analyst-aution-lingers-over-outlook-and-valuation">been growing concern</a> over Visa's market share of global payments volume with growing competition and the rise in the use of cryptocurrency and stablecoins for payments worldwide. The company's recent quarterly results and commentary suggests that Visa remains a healthy player in the global financial markets.

Today, at 11:21 AM on August 8th, a significant trading signal occurred for Lululemon Inc. (LULU) as it demonstrated a Power Inflow at a price of $187.10. This indicator is crucial for traders who want to know directionally where institutions and so-called "smart money" moves in the market. They see the value of utilizing order flow analytics to guide their trading decisions. The Power Inflow points to a possible uptrend in Lululemon&#8217;s stock, marking a potential entry point for traders looking to capitalize on the expected upward movement. Traders with this signal closely watch for sustained momentum in Lululemon's stock price, interpreting this event as a bullish sign. Stock prices rise when there are more buyers than sellers. This is what Order Flow Analytics is about.
Signal description
Order flow analytics, aka transaction or market flow analysis, separate and study both the retail and institutional volume rate of orders (flow). It involves analyzing the flow of buy and sell orders, along with size, timing, and other associated characteristics and patterns, to gain insights and make more informed trading decisions. This particular indicator is interpreted as a bullish signal by active traders.&nbsp;
The Power Inflow occurs within the first two hours of the market open and generally signals the trend that helps gauge the stock's overall direction, powered by institutional activity in the stock, for the remainder of the day. This is listed as Large Deal flow on our platform.
By incorporating order flow analytics into their trading strategies, market participants can better interpret market conditions, identify trading opportunities, and potentially improve their trading performance. But let's not forget that while watching smart money flow can provide valuable insights, it is crucial to incorporate effective risk management strategies to protect capital and mitigate potential losses. Employing a consistent and effective risk management plan helps traders navigate the uncertainties of the market in a more controlled and calculated manner, increasing the likelihood of long-term success

Lululemon Athletica Stock Reverses Early Decline, Rises 1.6% After Key Signal

Elon Musk finished dead last in favorability in a recent Gallup poll asking Americans to assess 14 world figures.
What Happened:&nbsp;Musk&#8217;s approval ratings have taken a nosedive following his contentious tenure at the White House and the ensuing fallout with President Donald Trump. 
Musk&#8217;s actions have not only tarnished his personal image but have also triggered a substantial decline in Tesla&#8217;s sales and revenues.
The Gallup <a href="https://news.gallup.com/poll/693155/pope-leo-favorably-viewed-newsmakers.aspx">poll</a> showed that 61% of 1,000 randomly chosen American adults held a negative view of Musk. This follows Musk&#8217;s participation in the Department of Government Efficiency, his warnings about the difficulties under a Trump presidency, and his plans to revamp government agencies.
Before starting his White House work, Musk was viewed slightly more negatively than positively (43% favorable, 47% unfavorable). In the July poll, Musk&#8217;s favorable rating was 33% favorable, with 61% unfavorable &#8212; a 24-point downward swing.

The poll also shows a sharp drop in approval ratings for several current and former Trump administration figures, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio and President Trump, signaling a turbulent run-up to next year's midterm elections.
The Gallup poll, conducted from July 7 to 21, revealed that Pope Leo XIV holds a net favorability score of +46, significantly higher than Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy (+18) and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) (+11). Pope Leo&#8217;s 57% favorability rating aligns with the initial ratings of his predecessors, Pope Francis and Pope Benedict XVI. 
Simultaneously, French President Emmanuel Macron and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) received mixed reviews, with a large portion of respondents expressing neutrality. Conversely, personalities like Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu were viewed unfavorably.
Why It Matters: The plummeting popularity of Musk, a key figure in the tech and automotive industries, could have far-reaching implications. 
His controversial actions and the resulting public sentiment could potentially influence consumer behavior and investor confidence, impacting not just Tesla but the broader electric vehicle market. 
The termination of the federal program involving Musk also raises questions about the future of public-private partnerships in the tech sector.

Tera, whose red front door is currently trending all over social media, is selling more than just yoga classes— it's offering exclusivity for some of the city's wealthiest and best connected residents.&nbsp;
"With the referral, we&#8217;re almost filtering our clientele to be somewhat of the same person,&#8221; Tera founder Georgia Wood Murphy told <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/new-yorks-hottest-club-the-invite-only-gym-2025-7">Business Insider</a>. Their ideal clientele is someone "that wants to invest in wellness, that wants to be on trend, and a part of what&#8217;s hot in New York right now.&#8221;

Tera isn't the only fitness studio building client lists off of referrals and exclusivity. According to the website, millennials and Gen Zers currently make up more than 80% of gymgoers. While their proclivity for regular workouts is great news for their overall health and fitness levels, it's bad news for your average gym.
With so many people popping in and out for their daily sweat sessions, gyms and fitness studios have become overcrowded. Finding yourself deep in line for the squat rack or on a waitlist for that afternoon pilates class has become a regular occurrence. Hence, the rise of the exclusive fitness club.
For their part, these studios take member curation quite seriously.&nbsp;
&#8220;Would you post flyers on the street to invite someone to a dinner party at your house?&#8221; asked Colette Dong, co-founder of trampoline fitness program Ness, which vets all potential members.&nbsp; &#8220;You wouldn&#8217;t. You would curate the vibe.&#8221;

It's not just bank accounts these studios are taking into consideration, either. Giving out, what Business Insider and Dong call the "wrong vibes" by doing things like engaging in negative body talk can be enough to get you blacklisted from some places.
"We don't want any of that energy in our community," Dong says.
Dogpound, a boutique gym favored by celebrities, hasn't fully committed to a referral-only model for membership just yet. Instead, they have sky-high fees, which top out at $100,000 per year. Xander Hodge, the gym's general manager, told Business Insider the exorbitant fees are designed to help ensure members are committed, tight-knit, and guaranteed a scene of privacy.
One thirty-something Dogpound member told the outlet that the cost is worth it because it grants her access to a community where it's easy to meet and bond with like-minded people.&nbsp;
&#8220;Fitness in New York can feel very transient,&#8221; Dong told Business Insider. &#8220;There are so many studios and classes, and people often hop around… [studio membership] is reserved for people who are truly engaged with what we offer and who feel aligned with our community.&#8221;

Behind The Rise Of Exclusive Fitness Clubs: Why Workout Studio Memberships Are The Newest Wealth Signifier

There's a certain type of tension that only shows up when a stay-at-home parent falls in love with a luxury purchase—and the breadwinner spouse has the checkbook. And in the latest case, it wasn't a vacation, or a kitchen remodel—it was a used Lexus SUV with a five-figure price tag and a salesman "working out a deal."
In a post titled "AITAH for vetoing my wife's car purchase in the dealership and walking her out of there without looking at the car she picked out?", a 29-year-old man shared his side of the <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AITAH/s/x55LXr0Rf1">showdown from Reddit's AITAH subreddit</a>.

His 27-year-old wife is a stay-at-home mom until their kids are old enough for school, and her old Honda had just <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/management/25/08/46864496/dave-ramsey-caller-made-the-mistake-of-co-signing-a-60000-car-loan-now-his-brother-in-law-is-off-to-jail-and-hes-paying-for-it">broken down beyond repair</a>. With his full-time work schedule, he couldn't car shop with her right away—but he gave her access to his Mustang Mach-E and laid out a "maximum budget of $20,000," noting it was flexible "if she found something she really liked."
But what she found was a used 2020 Lexus GX 460. He was at work when she called him to the dealership. A friend's boyfriend worked there, she said, and told her they could make her a great deal. The husband showed up, already wary.
When he asked how much the car was "out the door," the salesman dodged with, "How much do you have down?" That's when he shut it down. "Honey, we're not buying a car today, let's go." She pushed back, asking him to at least look at the vehicle, but he refused.
Finally, the price sheet was printed: $56,000 after taxes, fees, and add-ons. The husband said, "No, honey, that's not what we agreed on," and took the keys. The salesman tried to sell him on financing. "I just took the keys from my wife and left," he wrote.
And that monthly payment? The implication was clear—at nearly $800 a month for five years, this wasn't just a car; it was a financial anchor.

Later, cooler heads prevailed. "Eventually, I was able to sit her down and show her some much more affordable options that wouldn't require us financing the car and going back into debt," he explained. She ended up buying a used Honda Pilot Touring instead. Total cost with maintenance: around $21,000. He called the whole ordeal "a blip" in their marriage—but his wife said he came off as "cold and unreceptive" at the dealership.
His response? "The sales strategy in a dealership sometimes is to make one spouse love the car, and make that spouse feel like the salesperson is on their side so that they might purchase a car from them even if it's not a good decision for the couple."
Commenters rallied around him. "You were kind of ambushed with something other than what you agreed on," one said. "In what world did she think you'd be okay with a car that was $36K over what you told her you guys could comfortably spend?" another added.
Multiple users pointed to the obvious tactics dealerships use to push financing without revealing the true price. "My favorite is when I ask ‘what's the out-the-door price' and they say ‘well the monthly payment is…' Nope. Thanks for your time. That's not what I asked. Bye." Another former car salesman chimed in: "You are 1000% right. Every tactic you described is exactly what they do. Good work."
One commenter went so far as to say the salesperson's behavior was a giant red flag: "Pretty sure that the sales person hadn't told her the total price of the car. They love to tell you how low your monthly payments would be… if you have a perfect credit score and a huge down payment."

But what stood out most was how readers <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/financial-advisors/25/07/46647765/dave-ramsey-tells-wife-how-to-deal-with-husband-who-wont-stop-overspending-on-dining-out-show-him-the-numbers">interpreted the dynamic between the couple</a>. The husband didn't just say no—he made a financially sound decision based on a clear budget. One person summed it up best: "That's not cold. That's called being married and financially responsible."
And there's some real-world data to back that up. <a href="https://www.pewresearch.org/social-trends/2023/04/13/in-a-growing-share-of-u-s-marriages-husbands-and-wives-earn-about-the-same/">According to Pew Research</a>, 55% of U.S. marriages have a husband as the primary or sole breadwinner. When only one partner earns income, they often carry the burden—and authority—of major financial decisions. Experts say that power imbalance can be tricky, especially when the non-earning partner doesn't feel like an equal decision-maker.
But plenty of couples still find ways to keep things fair, even when one partner earns significantly more.&nbsp; Some split costs based on income percentages, others give each partner their own spending budget. But fair doesn't always mean 50/50. "It's no longer about financial equality," said <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2023/08/15/many-couples-dont-split-costs-equally-experts-say-heres-whats-fair.html">psychotherapist Carli Blau</a>, founder of Boutique Psychotherapy in New York. "It's really about what roles you play in your partnership—and whether both people feel heard, seen, appreciated, supported, and validated."
In this case, the husband had already tried that—he offered flexibility, gave her full access to his own car, and kept the conversation open. She still called him "cold," but most Redditors agreed he was just being smart.
After all, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/management/25/07/46664160/are-you-an-above%E2%80%91average-couple-heres-the-net-worth-you-need-to-be-richer-than-90-of-households">marriage means sharing more than just a house</a>—it means sharing risk, debt, and everything in between. In this case, walking out of a $56,000 surprise sale might've been the most romantic gesture of all.

29-Year-Old Says He 'Vetoed' His Wife's Dream Car, A 2020 $56K Lexus And Got Her A Honda Instead —'I Just Took The Keys From My Wife And Left'

On the surface, borrowing money at 0% APR looks like a great deal. You get to buy a product or service with someone else's money, and you don't have to pay interest for a while. You can find financing options that let you avoid interest payments for 12 months or more, but even though it sounds good, there are a few ways these deals can hurt your finances.
It may seem like there's only one disadvantage. People who borrow money will get burned by high interest rates if they do not repay the balance on time. However, there is a much more <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/personalfinance/comments/1mhuqcb/whats_so_bad_about_0_interest_financing_on/">subtle way</a> that 0% interest deals can wreck your finances.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Unintended Spending</h2>
It's hard enough to resist spending money due to the regular barrage of advertisements, an innate desire to keep up with everyone else, and how easy it has become to part ways with your hard-earned money. This environment makes it easy to spend money, and 0% APR is just another sweetener.
Borrowing money at 0% APR means there isn't any immediate downside to making a purchase. Money doesn't leave your checking account right away, and interest doesn't immediately accrue on your balance.&nbsp; This setup may incentivize people to make purchases they would have otherwise ignored.
Unintended spending has unintended consequences. That's extra money you now have to put toward your credit card bill instead of buying shares of a reliable index fund. Taking enough 0% APR deals can hinder your ability to build up a sufficient nest egg by the time you reach retirement age.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Getting Comfortable With Debt</h2>
Interest-free promotions also get people more comfortable with spending other people's money. While debt can be a productive resource for real estate investors and startup founders, using it for discretionary purchases too often can result in interest payments. Even if you're not paying interest, you will have to repay the debt with money that you could have invested.
Some people open multiple credit cards to capitalize on short-term 0% APR deals. These cards can be great for getting out of debt sooner if you do a credit card balance transfer. However, these deals can trap people into the habit of borrowing money.
This feedback loop can get so bad that you take out debt to pay off other debt. Constantly kicking the can further down the road results in more interest accumulation and will put you into a deeper financial hole. 0% APR offers can be the starting point of a series of bad financial decisions if you aren't careful.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">More Vulnerable To Emergency Expenses</h2>
Any debt that you incur makes you more financially vulnerable. Each debt represents more money that you owe, an additional monthly payment, and another obstacle that makes it more difficult to grow your portfolio.
However, the disadvantages don't end with extra debt. Taking 0% APR offers will make you more vulnerable to a surprise emergency expense. If you do not have enough funds in your bank account to cover the emergency expense because you were busy paying 0% APR debt, you may have to take out a personal loan to address the new expense.
While 0% APR offers can be useful, you should only use them for purchases you had intended to make. Don't rush to open a credit card with an intro 0% APR promo just to spend as much as you can. Using this type of financing with a necessary purchase and not putting yourself in a vulnerable financial situation is the best way to navigate 0% APR deals.

How 0% Interest Deals Can Wreck Your Finances, Even If You Never Miss A Payment

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.)&#8217;s investment in Palantir has seen an impressive surge of 142% since April.
What Happened: Greene, who&nbsp;is a member of the&nbsp;House Homeland Security Committee, acquired shares in&nbsp;Palantir&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>)&nbsp;just days before Immigration and&nbsp;Customs Enforcement (ICE) granted&nbsp;the company a $30 million&nbsp;contract. 
Greene has clarified that her portfolio is managed by her financial adviser and she was not privy to&nbsp;the trades until they were&nbsp;reported.
Quiver Quantitative, a platform that monitors the stock market activities of politicians, highlighted that Palantir&#8217;s stock has risen by 142% from its position on April 8, which is the date when Greene made her purchase.

Greene also invested in additional&nbsp;Palantir stock on July 15,&nbsp;which has yielded a substantial profit.

As per financial news outlet Benzinga, Greene&#8217;s portfolio was ranked 23rd in performance among Congressional members in the previous year, generating&nbsp;a return of 30.2% on&nbsp;stock transactions. 
Greene has credited her success to her financial adviser and has brushed off criticism as &#8220;laughable&#8221;.
Why It Matters: The significant rise in Palantir&#8217;s stock value following Greene&#8217;s investment raises questions about the timing of her purchase. The fact that the surge came just days before ICE awarded Palantir a hefty contract is noteworthy. 
However, Greene has maintained that she was not aware of&nbsp;the trades until they were&nbsp;reported, attributing her investment decisions to her financial adviser. 
This incident underscores the potential for conflicts of interest in the stock market activities of politicians, a topic that has been a subject of debate in recent times.
