Nouriel Roubini, voiced strong criticism on Monday regarding President Donald Trump&#8217;s declaration of &#8220;Liberation Day,&#8221; which marks the imposition of new tariffs. Roubini described the term as &#8220;literally Orwellian doublespeak,&#8221; suggesting that the tariffs would lead to &#8220;lower growth and higher inflation.&#8221; 
What Happened: The prominent economist sometimes referred to as &#8220;Dr. Doom,&#8221; emphasized that the real impact of these tariffs would depend on the negotiations, which he anticipates will be &#8220;ugly and long-drawn.&#8221; Roubini questioned the notion of &#8220;liberation,&#8221; arguing that it would not benefit U.S. consumers, workers, or businesses, nor the global economy.
He further expressed skepticism about whether the &#8220;escalate to de-escalate&#8221; strategy, mentioned by Bessent, would prevail over the views of trade hawks like senior counselor for trade and manufacturing Peter Navarro, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, trade negotiator Jamieson Greer, and Trump, whom he called &#8220;the biggest trade hawk of all.&#8221; Roubini suggested that advisors like economic adviser Kevin Hassett and chair of the Council of Economic Advisers Stephen Miran should guide the President towards more sensible decisions. He warned that the U.S. is &#8220;playing with fire&#8221; with these tariff policies.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>

Roubini&#8217;s comments came as Trump declared a national emergency to address foreign trade practices, imposing tariffs to protect American workers and strengthen the U.S. economy. The tariffs are part of a broader strategy to boost domestic manufacturing and reduce the trade deficit.

Why It Matters: The tariffs, set to take effect on Wednesday, have sparked significant debate. Trump claims they will reduce economic dependence on foreign goods and revive U.S. manufacturing. 
The executive order invokes the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to impose a universal 10% tariff on all imports effective April 5, followed by higher individualized tariffs on countries with the largest trade deficits with the U.S. starting April 9. The White House claims these measures will address non-reciprocal trade relationships, currency manipulation, and other unfair practices while boosting domestic manufacturing, protecting American workers, and strengthening economic sovereignty.
However, critics like Anthony Scaramucci have labeled &#8220;Liberation Day&#8221; as &#8220;Liquidation Day,&#8221; warning of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44608167/liberation-day-is-liquidation-day-says-anthony-scaramucci-heres-how-it-could-hit-your-wallet">potential financial burdens</a> on Americans. The tariffs are part of Trump&#8217;s broader economic strategy, which has been criticized for potentially leading to higher inflation and slower growth, as noted by Roubini in previous analyses.
Roubini, known for his accurate prediction of the 2008 financial crisis, has consistently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/12/42257492/dr-doom-roubini-on-trumps-second-term-inflation-will-be-higher-growth-is-going-to-be-lower">expressed concerns</a> about Trump&#8217;s economic policies.

'Dr. Doom' Nouriel Roubini: Trump's 'Liberation Day' Tariff Label Is Orwellian Doublespeak, US 'Playing With Fire'

Actor Anthony Mackie isn't splurging on designer sneakers for his kids, despite his superhero-sized paycheck. The 46-year-old "Captain America: Brave New World" star made it clear during a recent episode of <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HqFfX0A8UAc&amp;pp=ygUeY2FwdGFpbiBhbWVyaWNhOiBwaXZvdCBwb2RjYXN0">"The Pivot" podcast</a>—his four sons won't be keeping up with celebrity kids who rock $200 Jordans and luxury fashion.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Celebrity Parents Divided Over Raising Rich Kids</h2>
"I keep my boys humble. Like, my boys have never had a pair of Jordans. My boys don't do all that internet fly s&#8212;. I could be the biggest star in the world. Do not let me catch you being stupid," Mackie said.

<li>This Jeff Bezos-backed startup will allow you to <a href="https://arrivedhomes.go2cloud.org/aff_c?offer_id=15&amp;aff_id=1006&amp;aff_sub=yahoo&amp;aff_sub2=byerscta100">become a landlord in just 10 minutes, with minimum investments as low as $100</a>.</li>

</ul>
For him, character matters more than cash. He's been teaching his kids respect and responsibility, and the value of hard work from an early age.
"I raise my boys to be young men&#8230; they will always be respectful," Mackie explained. "They will always say, ‘Yes ma'am. No ma'am.' They will always say ‘Thank you.' They will always open the door for a lady. They will always make sure that their mother is taken care of and provided for."
Mackie's strict parenting style isn't just talk. He grew up in New Orleans as the youngest of six kids. His father, a carpenter, left school in eighth grade to pick cotton with his grandfather. During summers, Mackie worked for his dad's roofing business, learning firsthand what hard work really means.
"I try to keep my boys outside of [my celebrity]. I don't want my boys affected by it, or even acknowledge the idea of what Hollywood is and what it means to the general populace," Mackie said. "I want them to find their own path."
Trending: It&#8217;s no wonder Jeff Bezos holds over $250 million in art — <a href="https://masterworks.536u.net/XmneKy">this alternative asset has outpaced the S&amp;P 500 since 1995, delivering an average annual return of 11.4%. Here&#8217;s how everyday investors are getting started.</a>
Mackie isn't the only Hollywood star pushing back against raising spoiled kids. In a 2018 <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QwAKyOOwtwc">CNBC Make It Interview</a>, self-made real estate mogul Barbara Corcoran said she makes her children work summer jobs and save their earnings&nbsp;
"When you have rich kids — which, if you think about it, I have rich kids — you have to be very, very careful. It's complicated not to let them feel privileged."
Similarly, billionaire entrepreneur Mark Cuban takes a tough-love approach. "You have to accomplish these things on your own," he told <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUNMPG0Zx2k">NBC's "Today"</a> in 2022. "You don't want to be ‘Mark Cuban's son or daughter' your entire life."

Ben Affleck recently echoed the same sentiment when his 13-year-old son admired a $6,000 pair of Dior Air Jordans at the Got Sol sneaker convention. "That's a lot of lawns you've got to mow there," Affleck teased in a video posted on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DGvj4CIJne_/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=embed_video_watch_again">Got Sol's instagram account.</a>&nbsp;
Later, he doubled down <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hw-_hiS8e8c">in an interview</a> with Access Hollywood at the South by Southwest festival: "He's like, ‘We have the money.' I'm like, ‘I have the money. You're broke!'"
While Mackie and others promote discipline and hard work, some experts warn about going too far. <a href="https://drtimjordan.com/2022/04/autocratic-authoritatian-authoritative-parents-children-parenting/?utm_source=chatgpt.com">In his blog post</a> titled &#8220;How You Parent Matters: Don&#8217;t Screw Up Your Kids,&#8221; parenting researcher Dr. Tim Jordan argues that when parents are too strict and demanding without showing warmth, it can lead to kids acting out or rebelling.&nbsp;
On the flip side, when parents guide their children while also being responsive and supportive, it helps kids develop self-control and a sense of responsibility.&nbsp;

$1000 Invested In Alamos Gold 5 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

A recent <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZs3k3t3k5g">call</a> on &#8220;The Ramsey Show,&#8221; hosted by George Kamel and Jade Warshaw, took a sharp turn after a listener asked a seemingly straightforward question about <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/02/43888952/americans-owe-a-record-1-21-trillion-in-credit-card-debt-expert-warns-theres-no-end-in-sight">credit card debt</a>.
The caller wanted to know if he should focus on paying off <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-0-apr-credit-card">credit cards with 0% interest</a> but high balances, or the ones with higher interest rates and smaller balances.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Debt Snowball vs. Avalanche</h2>
Kamel jumped in: "It's simple but it's hard to grasp and to fully just take action on," he said. &#8220;The math says why would you knock out the highest interest first because you&#8217;re saving the most money, right? But what we've found is that people who actually successfully get out of debt once and for all do it using the debt snowball method.&#8221;

<li><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/arrived-private-credit-fund">Bezos' Favorite Real Estate Platform Launches A Way To Ride The Ongoing Private Credit Boom</a></li>
</ul>
Instead of focusing on interest rates, the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44494260/dave-ramsey-reveals-how-to-rebound-from-financial-setbacks-if-youre-over-40-and-feeling-behind-its-not-too-late-but-youd-better-get-serious">debt snowball method</a> prioritizes paying off the smallest balances first. &#8220;You can cross out the interest rate. Imagine it doesn't exist—0% or 50%, just pay off the smallest balance first,&#8221; said Kamel. The idea is that paying off smaller balances first builds momentum and helps change behavior, which is what ultimately gets people out of debt.
The conversation took a turn when the caller revealed he had more than $220,000 in total debt—excluding his mortgage. That included $15,000 in credit cards, $18,000 in business debt, and about $80,000 in auto loans.
Trending: Many are using retirement income calculators to check if they&#8217;re on pace —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-do-i-calculate-my-retirement-income-adv"> here&#8217;s a breakdown on what&#8217;s behind this formula.</a>
Kamel was floored. "You make $60,000 a year and you owe $80,000 in auto loans?" she asked. The caller explained that he had recently bought a new Kia, owing $53,000 on it, even though it's now worth only about $45,000. The payment is $757 a month.
"And you thought, &#8216;Man, I'm taking them to the cleaners on this one!&#8217;" Kamel joked, clearly in disbelief.
As it turned out, the man also owed $30,000 on a minivan worth only $20,000. Between both cars, the payments were choking his monthly budget. "You are sinking because of these cars," Warshaw said bluntly. "Both of these cars need to go today."

Outside of the vehicle debt, the caller had a complicated financial story: He had recently lost his father, gone through probate without a will, inherited a home he's now paying $1,200 a month for, and is supporting his fiancée and their three babies under two years old on a single income. He also mentioned <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/partner/emerging-markets/25/02/43558102/monalee-slashes-the-cost-of-rooftop-solar-panels-with-its-tech-driven-offering">solar panels</a> costing $300 a month that he didn't want in the first place.
Despite all of this, he had managed to save $1,000—Baby Step 1 in the Ramsey plan—and was bringing in an extra $2,000 to $3,000 a month from a side hustle. His fiancée, a stay-at-home mom, also earns a few hundred dollars promoting hair care products through a multi-level marketing company.
But Kamel warned against counting on the MLM income. "Google the disclosure statement for this company," he said. They legally have to disclose how many people make money. &#8220;I don't think this is the way out for you guys.&#8221;

Entrepreneur and investor Mark Cuban is one of several backers of a pre-seed round of Skylight, a startup seeking to rival TikTok, an app that could have new owners in the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/25/04/44599624/tiktok-clock-ticks-louder-as-deadline-approaches-trump-to-consider-final-proposal-as-private-equity-firms-bid-for-platform"> U.S. soon.</a>
What Happened: Skylight uses the AT Protocol, the same technology that helps social network Bluesky, which is<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/24/12/42566461/mark-cuban-says-this-is-the-holy-grail-that-makes-bluesky-better-than-musks-x-platform"> one of Cuban's favorites.</a>
The startup released its mobile app publicly Tuesday after 10 weeks of development, as reported by <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2025/04/01/mark-cuban-backs-skylight-a-tiktok-alternative-built-on-blueskys-underlying-technology/">TechCrunch</a>.
The short-form video app was developed by co-founder Tori White and Reed Harmeyer. The duo said Skylight features in-app video editing tools, public comments and likes along with the ability to set up user profiles and follow other users.
Since the app is built on the AT Protocol, Skylight can also be seen and engaged with by the more than 33 million existing Bluesky users.
Cuban funded a pre-seed round for Skylight. Graham &amp; Walker Venture Fund was also an investor in the round.

Why It's Important: White and Hermeyer said they were inspired to create Skylight when news of TikTok being banned in the U.S. broke.
While the potential TikTok ban is on pause as a buyer is shopped for, Skylight could be set to benefit from being ban-proof by using the underlying Bluesky technology, for the decentralized social media network.
White was a travel influencer worried about losing all of her past TikTok videos, which she has backed up. While she may have the videos, she fears that she could lose the comments and access to her community following she built.
Skylight supports video uploads like TikTok, but also wants to make sure users can customize their feed in the future, giving creators more control. This could include sounds, duets, stitching, bookmarks, playlists and more, according to the report.
Cuban previously said he was interested in backing apps similar to TikTok and are created with Bluesky in mind.
The Skylight app is available in the Google Play Store and Apple&#8217;s iOS store.

Back in 2009, during a <a href="https://charlierose.com/videos/22046">sit-down with Charlie Rose</a> in the wake of the financial crisis, Warren Buffett made his stance on cash loud and clear: he wasn't a fan.
"<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/05/38592657/warren-buffett-warns-cash-is-always-a-bad-investment-because-its-sure-to-go-down-in-value-having">Cash is always a bad investment</a>," he told Rose. "When people say ‘cash is king,' that's crazy… It was sure to go down in value over time." He compared it to oxygen — necessary, but only in reasonable doses saying, "You don't need to have excessive amounts of it around." He also added, "Anytime we have surplus cash around, I'm unhappy. I would much rather have good businesses than cash."

<li>Warren Buffett once said, "If you don't find a way to make money while you sleep, you will work until you die."<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/warren-buffet-make-money-when-you-sleep"> Here&#8217;s how you can earn passive income with just $100.</a></li>
</ul>
Fast forward to 2025, and the chairman of Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>, BRK.B)) is now sitting on a record-shattering $334.2 billion in cash — more than the company's stock portfolio, which shrank to $272 billion last year, <a href="https://fortune.com/2025/03/15/warren-buffett-berkshire-hathaway-stock-market-correction-cash-pile-acquisitions/">according to Fortune</a>. That's nearly double the cash pile from the year before.
So, what gives?
According to Buffett, nothing's changed in terms of philosophy. In his <a href="https://www.berkshirehathaway.com/2024ar/2024ar.pdf">most recent letter to shareholders</a>, he emphasized that "Berkshire will never prefer ownership of cash-equivalent assets over the ownership of good businesses."&nbsp;
But unfortunately, those good businesses are&nbsp; getting harder to find.
Trending: The secret weapon in billionaire investor portfolios that you almost certainly don't own yet. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">See which asset class has outpaced the S&amp;P 500 (1995-2024) – and with near-zero correlation.</a>
In <a href="https://www.berkshirehathaway.com/letters/2023ltr.pdf">last year's letter</a>, Buffett had already set expectations, noting that the days of "eye-popping" returns at Berkshire were likely behind them. "There remain only a handful of companies in this country capable of truly moving the needle at Berkshire," he wrote. "And they have been endlessly picked over by us and by others."
Translation? There's not much out there worth writing a big check for. Even outside the U.S., Buffett sees "essentially no candidates that are meaningful options" for deploying capital. So instead of chasing overpriced deals, he's parking the cash and waiting.
Which brings it back to another classic Buffettism: "<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44533852/what-would-buffett-do-with-markets-inches-away-from-the-extreme-fear-zone-is-it-finally-time-to-be-greedy">Be fearful when others are greedy</a>, and greedy when others are fearful."
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">Are you rich?</a> Here&#8217;s what Americans think you need to be considered wealthy.
Right now, fear is floating in the air — inflation remains sticky, interest rates are still high, and the stock market's looking a little overcaffeinated. That might explain why Buffett is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/02/43903272/buffetts-assures-berkshire-hathaway-shareholders-amid-skyrocketing-cash-reserves">choosing patience over action</a>. After all, a deal-hunter doesn't rush the aisle unless the sale signs are flashing.
To be clear, Buffett hasn't suddenly fallen in love with cash. He's just not going to force-feed billions into subpar investments to stay busy. And with Berkshire's size, it takes a really big fish to move the needle — not just any publicly traded guppy.
So yes, cash might still be a "bad investment" in Buffett's eyes. But sometimes, sitting still is the smartest move in the room — especially when you're holding $334 billion and waiting for the right moment to pounce.

Breaking Down BlackRock: 11 Analysts Share Their Views

In the current session, the stock is trading at $236.32, after a 3.00% increase. Over the past month, Applied Industrial Techs Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AIT#NYSE">AIT</a>) stock increased by 1.52%, and in the past year, by 21.65%. With performance like this, long-term shareholders are optimistic but others are more likely to look into the price-to-earnings ratio to see if the stock might be overvalued.

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1743631217_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>How Does Applied Industrial Techs P/E Compare to Other Companies?</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Applied Industrial Techs has a better P/E ratio of 23.22 than the aggregate P/E ratio of 21.21 of the Trading Companies &amp; Distributors industry. Ideally, one might believe that Applied Industrial Techs Inc. might perform better in the future than it's industry group, but it's probable that the stock is overvalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1743631217_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.
