Steve Jobs never hesitated to ask for help—even from people he had never met. In a 1994 interview, the Apple co-founder shared, "I've never found anybody that didn't want to help me if I asked them for help." It is a simple truth, yet many people struggle to implement it in their personal and professional lives.
What happened: When he was 12, Jobs opened the phone book, found HP co-founder Bill Hewlett's number, and cold-called him requesting leftover electronic parts. Hewlett was impressed, giving him both the parts and a summer internship in the assembly line. That brave ask became Jobs' first step into the world of tech.
Reminiscing, Jobs said: "I've always found something to be very true, which is most people don't get those experiences because they never ask."

Why it matters: According to Jobs, the barrier wasn't access—it was fear. "You've got to be willing to crash and burn, with people on the phone, with starting a company, with whatever. If you're afraid of failing, you won't get very far."
Jobs said in the interview that the difference between those who do things and those who dream of doing things lies in the ability to ask for help. So the next time you hesitate to reach out, remember—you might be one bold question away from changing your life.

Steve Jobs Believed Help Is Always Available If You're Brave Enough To Reach Out: 'Most People Don't Get What They Want Because They Never Ask'

An old clip from The Men Who Built America is causing an uproar on social media as financial markets reel from Donald Trump's tariff policies.
In the 2012 History Channel mini-series, Trump said, "I find that I do better in bad markets," adding that downturns create the best buying opportunities. More than ten years later, critics are asking whether that approach is now playing out in real time in Trump's second presidential term.
What Happened: Trump has imposed extensive tariffs—ranging from 10% to 50%—on imports from dozens of countries, calling the move economic "medicine." Speaking aboard Air Force One on Sunday, Trump trivialized concerns over trillions in lost market value, saying, "Sometimes you have to take medicine to fix something", Reuters reports.
Global markets have gone haywire since the tariffs came into effect. Taiwan's benchmark index experienced its worst one-day drop in history. Japan's Nikkei faced an 18-month low, and oil prices collapsed.

Why It Matters: Trump pitched the tariffs as a play to protect U.S. manufacturing and reshape trade norms—but the wider economic cost may be high. JP Morgan now predicts that the U.S. economy will shrink this year. Goldman Sachs cut back China's growth forecast.
Central banks in New Zealand and Indonesia are already preparing emergency strategies, according to Reuters.
This backdrop is giving fresh weight to Trump's decade-old comments. If asset values plunge and cash-rich investors move in to buy low, many fear this may be less of an unintentional side effect—and more of a playbook.
There is no direct proof that Trump is engineering an economic downturn. But the attitude outlined in the resurfaced quote, and the administration's readiness to absorb massive losses, has reignited conjecture. Critics argue that ordinary consumers endure the burdens of inflation and job losses, while the ultra-rich stand to gain if markets bottom out.

On Friday, April 4th, U.S. markets closed sharply lower, marking Wall Street&#8217;s second consecutive day of steep losses. The Nasdaq officially entered a bear market, while the Dow slipped into correction territory amid intensifying global trade tensions.
President Trump&#8217;s sweeping tariffs sparked fears of a global recession, erasing trillions in market value. Investor panic surged as volatility spiked, and world leaders scrambled to coordinate responses to the escalating trade conflict.
In economic data, March U.S. nonfarm payrolls jumped by 228,000, beating forecasts and the recent average. February&#8217;s figure was revised down to 117,000. Unemployment rose slightly to 4.2%, against expectations of no change. Average hourly earnings grew 0.3% month-over-month and 3.8% year-over-year, just below the 3.9% forecast.
Most S&amp;P 500 sectors fell Friday, led by financials, energy, and tech, amid heightened volatility, while consumer staples rose as investors turned to defensive assets.

Global Markets See Worst Drop Since 1997 Mimicking Black Monday Like Crash, Crude Oil Tumbles

After exiting college in 2007 with $50,000 in student loans and no degree in hand, Amy Landino was financially insecure and unsure about the future. Almost two decades later, she's raking in $8,200 a month in passive income — all while putting in just four hours of work a day.
In a recent profile for CNBC Make It, the content creator and group coach shared what she's learned on her journey to building a sustainable business — and what people misunderstand about passive income.
What Happened: Landino created her brand with over a thousand YouTube videos on productivity and personal branding. "It takes consistent upkeep and creative planning," she told CNBC Make It. Behind each video lies hours of prep and filming, and older content needs to be updated regularly to keep providing value to viewers.
She got her first taste of automated earnings through a straightforward video course that brought in $1,000 in one day, with just one email to a small pool of subscribers. "I started with a camera I already owned," she said.
Why It Matters: As Landino shifts her attention towards coaching, she is countering what she calls the top three "complete lies" about passive income: that it takes no work, that it requires a huge budget, and that it sustains itself forever. In reality, she notes, successful income streams depend on maintaining connection with your audience, putting systems in place, and offering products that evolve according to their needs.
Throughout her journey, from self-publishing Vlog Like a Boss to creating a morning routine planner inspired by fan requests, Landino has relied on her community to direct each new step.
"Passive income doesn't mean set-it-and-forget-it," she said. "It means being strategic about how you show up — and creating things that keep working, even when you're not."

RPM Gears Up For Q3 Print; Here Are The Recent Forecast Changes From Wall Street's Most Accurate Analysts

Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>) is the latest investment bank to predict a recession for the U.S. economy over the next 12 months, with the odds being raised to 45%, from its previous prediction of 35%. Amidst <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44662164/us-stock-futures-slump-following-massive-tariff-induced-selloff-experts-warn-of-a-brewing-great-depression-like-pattern">all this chaos and uncertainty</a>, however, there is a silver lining for the tech giants and their executives.
What Happened: On Sunday night, Goldman Sachs published a note raising its recession probability forecast from 35% to 45%, citing the sharp tightening of financial conditions and a spike in policy uncertainty. Just a month ago, it raised the probability from 20% to 35%, stating that economic fundamentals weren&#8217;t as robust as in the prior years.

The bank now follows JPMorgan Cash &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>), which <a href="http://benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/04/44645681/jpmorgan-raises-recession-risk-to-60-as-largest-us-tax-hike-in-60-years-hits-global-economy">made a similar prediction last week</a>, hiking the odds of a global recession to 60%.
While none of this sounds good, Jefferies Financial Group Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JEF#NYSE">JEF</a>) analysts believe that this, along with the Donald Trump administration&#8217;s tariffs, can be a &#8216;Free Hall Pass&#8217; for tech companies to revamp their financial guidance.
According to the firm&#8217;s lead analyst Brent Thill, companies can use this crisis to aim for &#8216;lower estimates that are more achievable and can help boost investor sentiments and stock performance,&#8217; as <a href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/tariffs-free-hall-pass-to-reset-big-tech-profit-guidance-2025-4">reported</a> by Business Insider. 
The firm&#8217;s analysts then cut their Price Targets for Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), and Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), among 29 leading tech stocks.
Why It Matters: The analysts noted that besides the obvious first and second order impacts of the tariffs, both Meta and Amazon generate significant revenue from Chinese advertisers trying to reach global audiences, which is now under pressure.
However, analysts have asked the tech giants to use this as an opportunity to reset their guidance to move conservative figures, something that better reflects new market realities.

Parsons Lands $24M Navy Contract to Advance US Biological Defense Research

Billionaire Investor Bill Ackman has criticized Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick of having a conflict of interest and being &#8220;indifferent&#8221; toward the stock market selloff induced by the introduction of tariffs because of the latter&#8217;s fund, Cantor Fitzgerald LP&#8217;s exposure to bond investors.
What Happened: Ackman, the CEO of Pershing Square Capital Management, L.P., has slammed. Lutnick, who was the former chairman and CEO of Cantor Fitzgerald L.P. by stating that &#8220;He (Lutnick) profits when our economy implodes.&#8221;
This aligns with the inverse relationship between stocks and bonds during economic crises. When stocks crash, investors often move capital into bonds, driving up bond prices and lowering yields.
As the markets continue to crash after President Donald Trump&#8217;s tariffs, the 10-year Treasury yield has fallen to 3.90%. It is the first time that the yield has fallen to this level since before Trump was elected last year in October. Meanwhile, the two-year yield has dropped to 3.45%.
Cantor Fitzgerald, on the other hand, has been a major player in bond markets since its founding in 1945.
&#8220;It's a bad idea to pick a Secretary of Commerce whose firm is levered long fixed income. It's an irreconcilable conflict of interest,&#8221; added Ackman in his post.

Why It Matters: According to Cantor Fitzgerald&#8217;s 13F filings, it holds positions in 275 publicly traded equity and debt securities, but has no significant exposure to bonds or bond-linked ETFs. However, the company is long bonds indirectly via these channels.
<ul>
<li>Primary Dealer Role: As one of the 24 primary dealers, Cantor Fitzgerald must participate in Treasury auctions and maintain an active market, necessitating long bond positions not reported on 13F.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Long Bond Fund: Cantor Fitzgerald&#8217;s Ireland-based Long Bond Fund invests in longer-dated Eurozone government bonds, representing a separate long bond position not typically on the 13F.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Infrastructure Fund: The Cantor Fitzgerald Infrastructure Fund allocates 30% to public infrastructure equity and debt, but specific holdings aren&#8217;t in the 13F, as 70% is in private investments.</li>
</ul>
Furthermore, Ackman, in replies to his post, claims that his position is &#8220;long America,&#8221; aligning his interests with the country's economic growth, while portraying Lutnick as &#8220;short America&#8221; due to his bond-heavy stance.
President Donald Trump&#8216;s post-market close tariff announcement on Wednesday ignited a dramatic market selloff on Thursday, exacerbated by China&#8217;s retaliatory measures on Friday.
As of Friday, the S&amp;P 500 was nearing the bear market zone as it closed 17.46% lower than its previous record high of 6,147.43 points. Dow was 14.99% down from its 52-week high of 45,073.63 points, whereas the Nasdaq 100 was already in the bear market territory, 21.71% lower from its high of 22,222.61 points.
Price Action: The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) and Invesco QQQ Trust ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), which track the S&amp;P 500 index and Nasdaq 100 index, respectively, slumped in premarket on Monday. SPY was down 3.39% and QQQ declined 3.64%.
On Friday, the SPY closed down 5.85% to $505.28, while the QQQ ended 6.21% lower to $422.67, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a> data.

Bill Ackman Slams Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick For Ignoring Stock Market Crash: 'He And Cantor Are Long Bonds'

On Monday, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo cautioned that President Donald Trump's tariff policy could pose significant near-term risks to semiconductor stocks, highlighting that even Apple Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44109824/apples-500b-u-s-investment-analyst-calls-it-completely-unrealistic-questions-where-the-money-will-come-from">$500 billion U.S. investment</a> couldn&#8217;t secure leniency from the administration's aggressive approach.
What Happened: Kuo took to X and expressed concerns about the impact of the Trump administration&#8217;s potential semiconductor tariff policies. 
"I'm taking a cautious stance on the upcoming semiconductor tariff policy under the Trump administration. Investors should stay alert to the near-term risks surrounding semiconductor stocks," Kuo said.
He indicated that the administration's reliance on tariffs as a tool to bring manufacturing back to the U.S. might lead to challenges for semiconductor companies.
Kuo pointed to Apple as a key case study in this context. Despite its substantial efforts to shift its supply chain away from China during Trump's first term and its $500 billion investment in the U.S., Apple did not escape tariffs.&nbsp;

"You'd think such efforts would earn some leniency, but they didn't," Kuo explained.
This raised critical questions about the approach to semiconductor tariffs, particularly for non-U.S. companies. "Have non-U.S. semiconductor companies done more than Apple to reduce their reliance on China in recent years?" Kuo asked. "Have they outpaced Apple in U.S. investments? Do these non-U.S. companies have stronger ties to the U.S. government than Apple?"

In response to a comment asking about the long-term trend of U.S. semiconductor manufacturing, Kuo suggested that while the short-term risks were clear, companies that align strategically with the U.S. could benefit in the long run.&nbsp;
"Winners and losers are another big deal. Before that, can see if the semi companies that invested in U.S. earlier can earn some leniency in the upcoming semi tariffs," Kuo added.

Why It Matters: Last week, Trump unveiled a new <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/04/44626421/trumps-reign-of-tariffs-unleashes-d-day-on-wall-street-analyst-warns-of-stagflation-risk">wave of reciprocal tariffs</a>. The tariff strategy involved country-specific rates, such as 34% on Chinese goods and 32% on imports from Taiwan, alongside a flat 10% tariff on products from other nations.
However, the White House said that some items, like auto parts and steel, which are already facing separate tariffs, as well as energy and mineral resources not domestically available, would be exempt from this new policy.
Semiconductors also <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44631606/trumps-tariff-exemptions-include-semiconductors-pharmaceuticals-oil-and-more">fall under the exemption list</a>, but according to Jefferies analysts, that&#8217;s likely because Trump is contemplating targeted tariffs for that sector.
While these measures aren&#8217;t directly affecting chips just yet, the analysts warned on Friday that they could still lead to rising costs for electronic devices and tech products that rely on semiconductors, thereby dampening overall demand.
Jefferies believes these tariffs will continue to put downward pressure on semiconductor stocks, including Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>), and Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>)— all of which rely heavily on chip manufacturing from Taiwan Semicndctr Mnufctrng Co. Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>).
Price Action: On Friday, Nvidia shares fell 7.36%, AMD dropped 8.57%, Broadcom (AVGO) slipped 5.01%, and TSMC declined 6.27%, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

Ming-Chi Kuo Warns Semiconductor Stocks Face Near-Term Risks Under Trump Tariff Policy: Even Apple's $500 Billion US Investment Didn't Buy It Leniency

The cryptocurrency market has been caught up in President Donald Trump&#8217;s <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/04/44660141/odds-of-recession-federal-reserves-emergency-rate-cuts-soar-on-crypto-based-polymarket-as-tariff-fears-pummel-markets">tariff-induced recession fears</a>, with many coins falling sharply from their highs since the Republican took over the White House.
What happened: Since Trump's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/01/43085323/trump-sworn-in-as-47th-president-declares-golden-age-of-america-begins-right-now">inauguration</a>, the total cryptocurrency market capitalization has shrunk by nearly 32%, with more than a trillion dollars in investors' wealth wiped out.
It's, therefore, hardly surprising that most coins, including the mega-cap ones, have traded in the red since his arrival.
Market barometer Bitcoin retreated from its $100,000 milestone, falling over 24% since Trump became president. This is despite the POTUS signing an executive order to <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/03/44183572/trump-establishes-strategic-bitcoin-reserve-funded-by-forfeited-assets-i-made-the-promise">create a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve</a>.

Altcoins such as Ethereum, Solana, XRP, and Cardano, all of which Trump touted as being<a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/03/44068814/bitcoin-ethereum-dogecoin-rally-on-trumps-strategic-crypto-reserve-announcement-cardano-x"> included in America&#8217;s cryptocurrency hoard</a>, have bled heavily, with SOL and ETH down more than 50% since the presidential inauguration.
Memecoin titan Dogecoin shed 61% of its value, becoming the biggest loser among large-cap cryptocurrencies.
The sentiment worsened after Elon Musk <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/03/44554819/elon-musk-dismisses-dogecoin-use-by-government-clears-the-air-on-doge-department-two-very-different-things">ruled out the idea</a> of the U.S. government using Dogecoin for any purpose,&nbsp; a dampener for many enthusiasts, especially following the establishment of the Department of Government Efficiency.&nbsp;
On the brighter side, Tron's native token, TRX, has lost only about 2% since Trump assumed office. Investor confidence was likely boosted after the SEC submitted a joint motion <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/content/44543856/justin-sun-features-on-forbes-cover-talks-crypto-and-trump-linked-investments">asking a court to halt its lawsuit</a> against Sun and his companies.

The apparel industry is bracing for a significant impact as tariffs are set to increase the cost of clothing, potentially ending the era of cheap garments.
What Happened: The Trump administration&#8217;s tariffs are poised to hit the clothing industry particularly hard<a href="https://www.marketplace.org/2025/04/04/tariffs-could-bring-an-end-to-the-days-of-cheap-clothing/">, reported</a> Marketplace on Monday. The majority of clothes and shoes purchased in the U.S. are imported, with a significant portion coming from Southeast Asian countries. These imports are soon to be subject to tariffs exceeding 30%.
When President Trump increased&nbsp;taxes on imports from China&nbsp;during his first term, many apparel companies shifted their operations, particularly to Vietnam, as noted by David Swartz of Morningstar. However, with the new&nbsp;tariffs targeting all U.S. trading&nbsp;partners, companies have no place to escape. &#8220;They&nbsp;cannot move production to other&nbsp;countries to avoid a tariff&nbsp;in one country in any&nbsp;realistic time frame,&#8221; Swartz said.

Stephen Lamar, head of the American Apparel and Footwear Association, ruled out the possibility of moving garment manufacturing to the U.S., citing a lack of labor, skill sets, infrastructure, and capabilities to scale up production. Denise Green at Cornell University added, &#8220;We&#8217;re not going to be able to buy clothing as inexpensively as we have in the past.&#8221;
Why It Matters: <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44656680/trumps-10-tariff-on-most-imports-is-finally-here-taking-effect-saturday">The new tariffs</a>, part of President Trump&#8217;s strategy to stimulate domestic investment by companies seeking to evade import taxes, have sparked a significant market reaction, escalating U.S. duties to their highest level in over a century.
The tariffs have stirred global markets, leading to a <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/media/25/04/44657800/trumps-tariffs-stir-global-markets-wall-street-loses-2-trillion-and-more-this-week-in-economics">loss of $2 trillion</a> on Wall Street. <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/04/44660475/more-than-50-nations-ready-to-revisit-tariffs-says-white-house-advisor">Over 50 countries</a>, targets of reciprocal tariffs by the U.S., have since reached out to begin negotiations on the high import tariffs, according to the White House.
