Billionaire investor and Shark Tank fame, Mark Cuban, questioned President Donald Trump&#8217;s focus on small businesses amid the tariff and the recession backdrop, asking if only the &#8220;big industries&#8221; mattered.
What Happened: President Trump, while speaking to a reporter from NBC News, responded to a question about tariff relief for small industries and said, &#8220;Why do you always mention, you know, a couple of little businesses? What about the car business? They&#8217;re gonna make a fortune because of the tariffs.&#8221;
Responding to the clip, Cuban asked, &#8220;Should small businesses be ignored? Or are big industries all that matter?&#8221;

In another X post, Cuban explained how small cities, towns, and states will get hit the worst because of a recession. &#8220;Recessions don't hit all parts of the country equally,&#8221; he said. 
According to him, the smaller towns and businesses that are more expensive to reach will be more susceptible to the impact of tariffs.
These entities will be the first to see their product shipments cut when there are shortages, and their prices will go up more as a result, he said.

Instead of a 25% tariff on all imported autos and parts, the orders capped tariffs at 25% per vehicle, exempting aluminum, steel, and USMCA-compliant content. U.S.-built vehicles with 85% U.S. and/or USMCA content are tariff-free in the first year.

A Litecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ltc/usd">LTC</a>) spot exchange-traded fund due for a decision on Monday may be delayed by the SEC, an analyst said.
What happened: In an X post, Bloomberg analyst James Seyffart noted May 5 has been designated as the date for deciding whether to approve or disapprove the Canary Litecoin ETF. The fund's 19b-4 filing was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/01/43328116/litecoin-spikes-over-11-after-sec-acknowledges-etf-filing-market-regulator-says-ltc-very-similar-to-bitcoin">acknowledged</a> by the SEC earlier in January.
"If any asset has a chance of early approval, it&#8217;s Litecoin IMO. Personally think a delay is more likely but def something to watch," Seyffart remarked.

Why It Matters: The SEC is required to decide on ETF applications within 240 days of the acknowledgment of the 19b-4 filing. Throughout this period, the agency releases filings at predetermined intervals to indicate whether it has ruled on the proposals or requires additional time to evaluate them. The final deadline was set to Oct. 2.
Notably, Bloomberg gave Litecoin ETF a 90% likelihood of approval from the SEC, with senior analyst Eric Balchunas previously stating that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/01/43047964/litecoin-surges-12-after-analyst-says-altcoin-most-likely-to-have-next-etf-after-bitcoin-ethereum">Litecoin would be the first altcoin ETF </a>in 2025.

Palantir Technologies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>) reached an all-time high in Sunday overnight trading, topping at $126.28 on Robinhood&#8217;s 24-hour trading platform after closing at $124.28 on Friday.
What Happened: Bear Traps Report founder Lawrence McDonald reacted to the milestone on the social media platform X, writing: &#8220;So much fear, so so many bears out there :)&#8221;
The stock surge comes just ahead of the company&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/05/45187449/dan-ives-calls-palantir-the-missing-piece-in-ai-puzzle-expects-good-news-from-alex-karps-company-on-monday">first-quarter earnings report due Monday</a>, with analysts projecting earnings of 13 cents per share on revenue of $862.83 million.
Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives highlighted Palantir as &#8220;the missing piece in the AI puzzle&#8221; in a Sunday social media post. &#8220;Karp &amp; Co. are a major barometer for the pace of U.S. commercial AI projects and initiatives and we expect good news from the Messi of AI on Monday,&#8221; Ives wrote, referring to Palantir CEO Alex Karp.

Why It Matters: In the fourth quarter of 2024, Palantir reported $827.52 million in revenue and 14 cents in adjusted earnings per share, beating analyst estimates. U.S. revenue grew 52% year-over-year, with the company closing 129 deals worth over $1 million.
Palantir has a consensus price target of $69.76 from 25 analysts, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/PLTR/analyst-ratings">data from Benzinga Pro</a>, with a high of $125 from Loop Capital and a low of $7.50 from Wolfe Research. The latest targets from RBC Capital, Morgan Stanley, and DA Davidson average $76.67, implying a 38.44% downside.
Palantir shows a positive short- to long-term price trend, according to Benzinga Stock Edge Ranking. It scores well on growth and momentum but lags on valuation. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Sign up to learn more</a>.

Palantir Climbs Above $126 In Overnight Robinhood Trading: 'So Many Bears Out There,' Says Lawrence McDonald

The ongoing U.S.-China trade dispute may find resolution through the reported appointment of special envoys by Presidents&nbsp;Donald Trump and Xi Jinping.&nbsp;This could pave the way for better communication channels, analysts suggest.
What Happened: The U.S. and China are grappling with how to restart trade talks. While the Chinese have proposed the concept of special envoys, the U.S. is reluctant, favoring direct negotiations between Trump and Xi. However, the Chinese view this proposal as &#8220;risky and uncertain&#8221;, the South China Morning Post reported <a href="https://www.scmp.com/news/china/diplomacy/article/3308919/us-china-trade-stand-ease-negotiators-must-be-agreed-upon-analysts">on</a> Saturday.
Chinese experts based in Washington believe that appointing special envoys from both countries could help address and stabilize the strained relationship.
The situation is further complicated by a dispute regarding China&#8217;s role in supplying ingredients used in the illicit production of fentanyl, a powerful opioid. This led to Trump imposing a 20%&nbsp;tariff on Chinese products in&nbsp;a previous round of duty increases.
As per a Wall Street Journal report <a href="https://www.wsj.com/world/china/beijing-weighs-fentanyl-offer-to-u-s-to-start-trade-talks-287cf233">on</a> Friday, China may use the fentanyl issue as a lever for trade talks or as a bargaining chip in future negotiations. The report also hints that China might send Minister for Public Security Wang Xiaohong to the U.S. to kickstart discussions.
Eurasia Group&#8217;s Jeremy Chan told SCMP, "Beijing is hoping to use fentanyl cooperation as either a catalyst for US-China trade talks or a bargaining chip in a future round of negotiations, rather than a goodwill gesture ahead of trade talks as Trump's team has called for.&#8221;
Why It Matters:&nbsp;This development comes in the wake of China&#8217;s Commerce Ministry &#8216;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45160145/china-says-door-is-open-for-talks-while-it-is-assessing-us-trade-proposal-but-warns-coercion-and-extortion-wont-work">assessing</a>&#8216; a U.S. offer to discuss the crippling 145% tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump on Friday. China expressed its readiness to engage in discussions but insisted that the U.S. must be prepared to rectify &#8220;erroneous practices&#8221; and revoke unilateral tariffs.
On Sunday, President Trump stated that his primary objective was to secure a fair trade agreement with China. While speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One, he mentioned that he had no plans to talk with Chinese President Xi Jinping this week. However, he added that U.S. officials were in discussions with their Chinese counterparts on a range of issues.
Earlier, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/45065482/us-china-to-ease-tariffs-gradually-after-complex-talks-says-morgan-stanley-but-cuts-chinas-growth-outlook">economists</a> at Morgan Stanley projected that both nations would begin negotiations and gradually decrease tariffs on Chinese imports to 60% by the end of Q2. However, tariffs are not expected to revert to their pre-January 25 levels.
More in-depth talks in the second half of the year could further lower tariffs on Chinese imports to 34% by the end of 2025, indicating the abolition of the 20% fentanyl-related tariff.
On Friday, U.S.-listed Chinese stocks PDD Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PDD#NASDAQ">PDD</a>), Alibaba Group Holding (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>), and Baidu, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BIDU#NASDAQ">BIDU</a>) climbed 4.67%, 4.34%, and 2.33%, respectively, after China showed openness to U.S. trade talks.

The index is calculated based on seven equal-weighted indicators. The index ranges from 0 to 100, where 0 represents maximum fear and 100 signals maximum greediness.

S&P 500 Notches Longest Win Streak In Over 2 Decades: Investor Sentiment Improves, Greed Index In 'Fear' Zone

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) recently voiced her dissatisfaction over the current direction of U.S. foreign and domestic policies in a lengthy post on X.
What Happened:&nbsp;Greene took to X on Friday to express her concerns about the U.S.&#8217;s potential involvement in a war with Iran and the recent U.S.-Ukraine minerals deal. 
She stated that the Donald Trump administration is becoming disconnected from its base and failing to follow through on its promises.
Greene criticized the continued approval of the COVID-19 vaccine despite reported side effects, and called for accountability for &#8220;law fair&#8221;&nbsp;waged against the American people&nbsp;in the past four years.&nbsp;

Greene stated, &#8220;I represent the base and&nbsp;when I'm frustrated and upset&nbsp;over the direction of things,&nbsp;you better be clear, the&nbsp;base is not happy.&#8221; She questioned the wisdom of engaging in foreign wars and the recent minerals deal with Ukraine, which she claimed was a repayment for U.S. aid misused by Ukraine.
Expressing dissatisfaction, she stated, "Why don't we just mine our own rare earth minerals that are tied up on federal lands that the government confiscated years ago?"
She also criticized Republicans for their inaction on election integrity and transgender issues, emphasizing the frustration felt by her supporters.
Greene wrapped up her long post, stating, &#8220;And Trump isn't on the ballot in the future, so do the math on that.&#8221;

Why It Matters: Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, a prominent supporter of President Trump, has now openly criticized the Trump administration, in a rare move.
Greene&#8217;s comments come in the wake of recent developments in U.S. foreign policy. The U.S. and Ukraine recently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45123271/us-ukraine-sign-minerals-deal-scott-bessent-says-agreement-is-a-clear-sign-to-russia-that-trump-administration-wants-a-free-and-prosperous-kyiv">signed a deal </a>to invest in Ukraine's mineral resources, oil, and gas sectors, a move seen as a key support for Ukraine and a signal to Russia of the U.S. commitment to a free and prosperous Ukraine.
Moreover, President Donald Trump <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/05/45149446/oil-prices-soar-after-trump-threatens-sanctions-on-iranian-crude-buyers-is-china-on-top-of-the-list">threatened sanctions </a>on nations purchasing Iranian oil and petrochemicals, causing a sharp rise in oil prices.&nbsp;
Greene&#8217;s comments reflect the concerns of a significant portion of the American populace, indicating a growing divide in the country&#8217;s political landscape.

ON Semiconductor Gears Up For Q1 Print; Here Are The Recent Forecast Changes From Wall Street's Most Accurate Analysts

As Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44067763/goodbye-skype-microsoft-teams-takes-over-offering-free-calls-and-more">bids farewell</a> to Skype today, May 5, the move marks not just the end of an internet era but a major turning point in the company's communication strategy — and for investors who believed in Microsoft back in 2011, when it acquired the platform, it's been a profitable ride.
What Happened: Microsoft is officially shutting down Skype after more than two decades of service, encouraging users to migrate to Microsoft Teams, its modern communication and collaboration platform.
Launched in 2003, Skype became a digital lifeline for families, friends and businesses worldwide. Its familiar ringtone and video call interface were once synonymous with global connectivity.

However, as mobile-first and cloud-native platforms gained popularity, Skype struggled to keep up.
Microsoft acquired <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/asset-sales/11/05/1070323/microsoft-may-return-to-glory-days-with-8-5-billion-purchase-of-skype">Skype on May 10, 2011, for $8.5 billion</a>, aiming to bolster its presence in the consumer and enterprise communication space. Over time, it became clear that Skype's aging architecture was ill-suited for the demands of modern, integrated digital workspaces.
With Skype's retirement, Microsoft is signaling that Teams is now the company&#8217;s unified communications platform going forward.
$1,000 Then, Nearly $22,000 Now: While Skype's story is ending, Microsoft's growth has only accelerated in the years since the acquisition.
If you had invested $1,000 in Microsoft stock on the day it acquired Skype in 2011, you'd now be sitting on about $21,972.71. That investment would have bought you roughly 50.48 shares, factoring in Microsoft's history of stock splits.
Microsoft's share price has soared over the past decade as it successfully pivoted to cloud computing, productivity software and enterprise services — a strategy that included, but ultimately evolved beyond, Skype.
In the past five years, the share prices of Microsoft have up by 135.69% and year-to-date, it has gained by 3.99%, according to the data from <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>. During Friday's regular hours, Microsoft shares closed at $435.28.
What's Next for Users: Skype users don't need to panic. Microsoft has ensured that transitioning to Teams is simple. By logging into Microsoft Teams with the same credentials, users will find their old Skype messages and contacts automatically synced.
The new platform includes all the familiar features — one-on-one calls, group chats, messaging — plus additional tools like integrated calendars, file storage, and community channels.
For paid Skype users, services will continue until current billing cycles end, and Skype Numbers can still receive calls through Teams or the Skype web portal.

Personal‑finance coach Dave Ramsey has a blunt message for workers fretting over market swings and shrinking 401(k) balances: your paycheck, not Wall Street headlines, is the real lever of wealth.
What Happened: In an <a href="https://www.thestreet.com/retirement/dave-ramsey-bluntly-warns-americans-on-401ks-market-swings">interview</a> with The Street, Ramsey said Americans still view employer‑sponsored 401(k)s and IRAs as the backbone of retirement security, especially when matched contributions stretch every dollar. 
But the bestselling author and popular call-in radio show personality warned that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/12/42746966/debt-and-broke-are-the-norm-says-dave-ramsey-explains-why-normal-isnt-working-for-most-americans-and-how-to-take-control-of-your-money">debt and sloppy budgeting</a> choke off the cash needed to invest. "Your most powerful wealth‑building tool is your income," he said, urging households to craft a zero‑based budget before each month begins.
Ramsey's recipe is straightforward: hammer down debt, funnel freed‑up cash <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/what-is-a-401k">into a 401(k)</a> and Roth IRA, and let broad‑based mutual funds compound over decades. "No one wins on accident," he added. &#8220;Winning is an intentional act, whether it&#8217;s in your marriage, raising kids&#8230;. It&#8217;s an intentional act&#8230;&#8221;

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Ramsey Says &#8216;Turn Off The TV&#8217;</h3>
Market turbulence, he argued, is mostly noise. During the COVID‑era sell‑offs, investors who stayed the course saw retirement balances rebound quickly. "Turn off the TV," Ramsey advises. &#8220;I&#8217;m a long-term investor,&#8221; Ramsey mentions. &#8220;So, the short-term temper tantrums I&#8217;m not going to get involved in.
Analysts at Fidelity note that 401(k) participation <a href="https://www.fidelity.com/about-fidelity/Q4-2024-retirement-analysis#:~:text=b)%20retirement%20accounts.-,According%20to%20the%20latest%20retirement%20data%20from%20Fidelity%20Investments%C2%AE,the%20fourth%20quarter%20of%202021." target="_blank" rel="noopener">remains very high</a> even as inflation <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/10/41213012/dave-ramseys-bold-plan-to-fight-inflation-could-his-radical-approach-help-you-keep-more-cash-in-">squeezes paychecks</a>, a sign that workers still bet on tax‑deferred growth over time. Ramsey's bottom line: Live on less than you make, automate contributions, and ignore the daily market drama. &#8220;If you learn to live on less than you make, and you learn to invest and you stay out of debt and you do it with a plan — those are the keys of people that actually become wealthy,&#8221; he said.

Tyson Foods, Ford And 3 Stocks To Watch Heading Into Monday

After the S&amp;P 500 notched a nine-day winning streak on Friday, it sparked a debate among market experts. While some believe that it could be a precursor to a recession, others vehemently disagree, citing historical data to support their arguments.
What Happened: The Founder and President of Rosenberg Research &amp; Associates Inc., David Rosenberg, highlighted the rarity of such streaks and their historical association with recessionary periods.
According to Rosenberg, a consecutive nine-day streak has occurred only 0.25% of the time in the past century. Labeling it as a &#8220;3 sigma event,&#8221; he claimed that &#8220;80% of the time this dynamic happened in recessionary environments …not to mention just ahead of the October 1987 crash!&#8221; This led him to question the current &#8220;bullish&#8221; market sentiment.
However, Ryan Detrick from Carson Research countered this in a May 5 post, calling it &#8220;simply wrong/lazy analysis&#8221;. According to him, such nine-day streaks have occurred only three times during a recession out of the total 29 nine-day streaks since 1928.
This starkly contradicts Rosenberg&#8217;s claim of an 80% correlation.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">&quot;When you are a hammer, everything looks like a nail.&quot; No, this is not true and simply wrong/lazy analysis meant to scare investors. Spending about 10 minutes (and using totally free data) showed that only 3 times out of 29 nine-day win streaks happened in a recession. <a href="https://t.co/uli58D9rDM">https://t.co/uli58D9rDM</a> <a href="https://t.co/26LIshCJqw">pic.twitter.com/26LIshCJqw</a>

Why It Matters: This rare winning streak from the S&amp;P 500 follows a complex economic backdrop. While investors assess the potential of a future rate cut and inflation, consumer spending and corporate earnings data have been positive.
However, the contradicting views from Detrick and Rosenberg underscore the challenge in predicting market movements, as the historical data can never help in developing definitive conclusions but just offer some insight into old patterns.
After the end of the nine-day streak, the S&amp;P 500 index was out of the correction zone, just down 7.5% from its record high of 6,147.43 points, scaled on Feb. 19. Dow Jones was 8.33% lower than its 52-week high of 45,073.63 points and Nasdaq 100 was 9.54% lower than its previous high of 22,222.61 points.
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, rose on Friday. The SPY was up 1.48% to $566.76, while the QQQ advanced 1.48% to $488.83, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a> data.
The futures of Dow Jones, S&amp;P 500, and Nasdaq 100 were trading lower on Monday.
