&nbsp;On July 17, 2025, Telomir Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TELO#NASDAQ">TELO</a>) reported new preclinical results evaluating the effects of its lead candidate, Telomir-1, &nbsp;in a murine xenograft model using PC3 human prostate cancer cells. The data demonstrated that Telomir-1 reversed epigenetic silencing by DNA methylation of the STAT1 gene, a tumor suppressor and immune response regulator, in a dose-dependent manner. &nbsp;

After totaling his car, a Reddit user jumped back into the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/long-ideas/25/07/46324594/used%E2%80%91car-boom-prices-supercharging-carvana-autonation-stocks">used car market</a> hoping to find a decent replacement. What he found instead was sticker shock.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Prices For High-Mileage Cars Are Up. Way Up.</h2>
In a <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/UsedCars/comments/1ly1eni/this_market_is_ridiculous/">post</a> titled &#8220;This Market Is Ridiculous,&#8221; the buyer recalled buying a 2006 Cadillac CTS with 64,000 miles back in 2012 for just $6,000. Now, more than a decade later, he's seeing base-model 2016 Honda Civics with 80,000 miles listed for $15,000, barely less than their original manufacturer's suggested retail price.
&#8220;So you&#8217;re telling me that car only lost $3,000 to $4,000 over 10 years and 100K miles? Get out of here!&#8221; he wrote. &#8220;There are no more starter cars that are safe, reliable, with less than 100K [miles] that are affordable anymore.&#8221;
Don't Miss:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mode-mobile-accredited-investor-offer">Accredited investors can claim pre-IPO shares of Mode Mobile for just $0.30</a>—with up to 120% bonus shares—before this Uber-style disruption hits the public markets</li>
<li>Named a TIME Best Invention and Backed by 5,000+ Users, Kara's Air-to-Water Pod Cuts Plastic and Costs — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/americans-spend-1000-per-year-on-plastic-water-bottles-kara-pod-gives-you-clean-drinking-water-by-pulling-moisture-from-the-air">And You Can Invest At Just $6.37/Share</a></li>
</ul>
He's not alone in that sentiment. Hundreds of commenters chimed in, sharing their own frustrations about a market where decade-old cars with over 150,000 miles are still commanding $10,000 or more.
One user said they saw a &#8220;stock good condition late &#8217;90s Toyota just shy over 300k miles for $18k.&#8221; Another added, &#8220;Every time I save enough for an all-cash purchase, the prices go up and the quality of used cars in my price range goes down.&#8221;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">COVID, Inflation And A Crushed Supply</h2>
Many in the thread blamed the inflated prices on the long-term effects of COVID-19. Factory shutdowns and chip shortages slashed new car production, which reduced future used car supply. Several commenters also pointed to the lingering impact of the 2009 &#8220;Cash for Clunkers&#8221; program, which removed hundreds of thousands of older vehicles from circulation.
&#8220;Covid was arguably worse because there was no replenishment supply due to supply chain issues,&#8221; one person explained. &#8220;Now the market for cars from the last decade are all 100K+ miles and largely still 5 figures.&#8221;

Others mentioned inflation and the devaluation of the dollar as culprits. &#8220;The price of vehicles hasn&#8217;t gone up, the value of the dollar has gone down,&#8221; one commenter argued. Another quipped, &#8220;$5,000 is the new $10,000.&#8221;
On top of that, President Donald Trump&#8216;s 25% auto tariffs are now <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46314078/used-car-prices-see-biggest-surge-since-2022-as-trump-tariffs-shake-auto-market-report">shaking the market</a> even more. The Manheim Index, a key measure of used vehicle prices, surged 1.6% in June from May and is up 6.3% year-over-year—the sharpest rise since 2022, according to <a href="https://site.manheim.com/en/services/consulting/used-vehicle-value-index.html">Cox Automotive</a>.
&#8220;Tariffs really impacted new sales and supply, which impacted the used marketplace as well,&#8221; said Jeremy Robb, Cox Automotive's senior director of economic and industry insights. With fewer off-lease vehicles returning to the market, prices are staying elevated.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">When Used Costs Nearly As Much As New</h2>
Several buyers reported skipping the used market entirely. &#8220;I said I&#8217;d &#8216;never&#8217; buy new,&#8221; one person wrote. &#8220;Maybe $7k less than new with 30-40K miles on it was all I could find a few years ago. Guess who bought new???&#8221;

Financing was also a factor. As <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/01/43074274/dave-ramsey-warns-asking-how-much-a-month-could-cost-you-10000-extra-on-your-car-purchase">interest rates on used car loans</a> hit double digits, many found that new vehicles offered better terms and warranties for a slightly higher sticker price. One buyer said they leased a new car for $20 more per month than a used one with 30,000 miles.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Deals Are Rare And Private Sales Are Competitive</h2>
A few commenters shared success stories, but they were often the result of aggressive searching, luck, or knowing the right people. One person scored a 2012 car for $800. Another found a 2006 Corolla in a small town 60 miles outside their metro area from a single-owner seller with full maintenance records.
Others gave up entirely. One parent said they paid $12,000 for a car with a $7,000-$8,000 value, only to have the engine blow within a year. The mechanic advised them to part it out. &#8220;It HURTS,&#8221; they wrote.
The original poster summed it up: &#8220;Honestly, can't justify spending my hard-earned money on purchasing a used car right now.&#8221;

This marks the fund's first investment in a biotechnology firm and signals a strategic move to boost <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45032800/global-defense-budgets-surge-to-27-trillion-as-europe-and-middle-east-lead-steepest-increase-since-cold-war-report">global defense</a> against future biological threats,<a href="https://www.reuters.com/sustainability/climate-energy/nato-fund-backs-biotech-startup-push-counter-biological-threats-2025-06-30/"> Reuters</a> says. Portal Biotech was founded in 2021 by Andy Heron and Giovanni Maglia, according to the company's <a href="https://www.portalbiotech.com/">website</a>. The following year, after the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the NATO Innovation Fund was launched with plans to invest more than $1 billion into cutting-edge defense technologies, Reuters reports. The fund is backed by 24 NATO member nations, including the U.S., U.K., Germany, Italy, and France, according to the NATO Innovation Fund&#8217;s <a href="https://www.nif.fund/about/">website</a>.

</ul>
According to Portal Biotech, its technology allows rapid, on-site protein sequencing without the need for large labs or long turnaround times, offering a real-time advantage in identifying both known and engineered pathogens.
According to Ana Bernardo-Gancedo, senior associate at the NATO Innovation Fund, the technology could play a defining role in future biosecurity efforts across Allied nations. "Portal Biotech's ability to characterise proteins at the molecular level onsite anywhere could help detect engineered biological threats faster and more accurately — crucial in defending against biowarfare and preparing us for the next pandemic, boosting the resilience of Allied nations for generations to come," Bernardo-Gancedo said in the statement.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why This Breakthrough Could Be the Key to Precision Medicine and Pandemic Prevention</h2>
Portal Biotech's breakthrough positions it as a leading innovator in the race to unlock what many in the life sciences field have called the "holy grail" of proteomics: full-length, single-molecule protein sequencing.
Trending: Named a TIME Best Invention and Backed by 5,000+ Users, Kara's Air-to-Water Pod Cuts Plastic and Costs — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/americans-spend-1000-per-year-on-plastic-water-bottles-kara-pod-gives-you-clean-drinking-water-by-pulling-moisture-from-the-air">And You Can Invest At Just $6.37/Share</a>
According to the company, the ability to read intact proteins at this level of detail, without breaking them into fragments, has never been achieved before and holds the potential to reshape drug discovery, diagnostics, and biological research. Portal Biotech says its technology addresses long-standing blind spots in how proteins are analyzed, offering a new level of accuracy, speed, and accessibility for labs worldwide.
Legacy methods like mass spectrometry slice proteins into fragments, often losing critical information about protein modifications and functions, Portal Biotech says. The startup's benchtop instruments aim to provide full-length sequencing at the single-molecule level, maintaining the integrity of the protein data while significantly cutting costs and time.
Portal Biotech CEO Andy Heron said in the statement that the startup's AI-enhanced sequencing tools will allow researchers to monitor the proteome with unmatched accuracy and speed. &#8220;These powerful advances are essential for accelerating drug discovery and enhancing diagnostic precision, positioning Portal Biotech as the frontrunner in the race to unlock the full potential of protein sequencing,&#8221; he added.&nbsp;&nbsp;
The company expects its platform to not only accelerate go-or-no-go decisions in drug pipelines but also to enable portable, field-level surveillance tools for pandemic and biowarfare preparedness.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">NATO, Earlybird, and Big-Name VCs Line Up to Back Portal Biotech's Bold Play</h2>
Portal Biotech says the $35 million round was co-led by the NATO Innovation Fund and Earlybird Venture Capital, with support from returning investors SCVC, Pillar VC, 8VC, Amino Collective, and Outsized. New investors include We Venture Capital, British Business Bank, and WS Investment Company, the venture arm of Wilson Sonsini.
The founding team includes scientists with deep expertise in nanopore genomics, drawing from over a decade of research in the Maglia lab. Dr. Rabab Nasrallah, principal at Earlybird Health Fund, said in the statement that Portal Biotech is poised to do for proteomics what next-generation DNA sequencing did for genomics.
The raise will support the expansion of Portal's commercial efforts, research and development team, and pharmaceutical partnerships. With the human genome already sequenced, Portal Biotech aims to decode the proteome next, potentially unlocking answers that DNA alone could never reveal.

$1000 Invested In Brown & Brown 5 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

A new voter poll shows that people want third-party options as President Donald Trump's approval rating continues to be below 50%. While Elon Musk could be <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46265725/elon-musk-announces-formation-of-america-party-emerges-in-wake-of-donald-trumps-historic-spending-bill">launching a third party,</a> voters are saying no thanks to one from the world's richest man.
What Happened: Shareholders of Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) may love hearing that voters might not be interested in a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46210411/musk-third-party-odds-hit-47-can-the-tesla-chief-do-what-no-one-has-since-1853">third party launch </a>by CEO Musk.
After all, the promised launch of the America Party by Musk could see the CEO spend more time in politics and less time leading the electric vehicle giant.
A Quinnipiac <a href="https://poll.qu.edu/poll-release?releaseid=3928">poll </a>finds that voters aren't impressed with Musk's option.
Quinnipiac recently asked voters if they would consider joining a third party as an alternative to the Republican and Democratic parties.
A near majority (49%) said yes they would consider, while 45% said they would not consider. The remainder said they didn't know. Men and women were equally divided in the poll with 49% of men saying yes and 45% saying no and the same result reported for women.
Broken down by political party, here were the results of considering joining a third party:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Republicans: 28% yes, 67% no</li>
<li>Democrats: 39% yes, 56% no</li>
<li>Independents: 75% yes, 21% no</li>
</ul>
While voters want a third party option, it appears they aren't happy with the option of one coming from Musk. When asked if they would consider joining a third party if created by Musk, the result significantly changed.
The results were 17% yes and 77% no, broken down as follows by political party and gender:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Republican: 18% yes, 74% no</li>
<li>Democrat: 6% yes, 90% no</li>
<li>Independent: 22% yes, 73% no</li>
<li>Men: 20% yes, 73% no</li>
<li>Women: 14% yes, 73% no</li>
</ul>
"There is a healthy appetite for a third party among American voters. But with Elon Musk leading the way, not so much," Quinnipiac University Polling Analyst Tim Malloy said.

Why It's Important: The Quinnipiac poll found that only 44% of voters approve of President Trump with 54% disapproving. This result was similar to a poll in late June from Quinnipiac.
One of the items that might be impacting the approval rating is the Jeffrey Epstein files. Sixty-three percent of voters in the poll said they disapprove of the Trump administration's handling of the files.
Trump also received approval ratings of under 50% across many issues, including the economy (42%), foreign policy (41%), trade (40%), and the Russia-Ukraine war (34%).
A third-party option could gain steam among voters for the first time in years based on the current results of polls and overall sentiment from voters. The problem is that this poll shows voters don't want Musk involved.
Prediction market <a href="https://polymarket.com/event/will-elon-register-the-america-party-by?tid=1752789090374">Polymarket </a>shows odds of 44% that Musk will register the America Party by the end of 2025.
Benzinga<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46341429/musks-politics-or-teslas-future-74-say-the-choice-is-clear"> recently asked readers </a>if this should be Musk&#8217;s focus going forward.
&#8220;Elon Musk is wading deeper into politics. Should he stay focused on Tesla and SpaceX — or keep speaking out?&#8221; Benzinga asked
The results were:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Stay focused on his companies: 74%</li>
<li>Do both – he can multitask: 21%</li>
<li>Keep speaking out: 5%</li>
</ul>
A large majority of readers polled said Musk should stay focused on his companies.&nbsp;Musk is the CEO of Tesla and&nbsp;SpaceX&nbsp;and is also involved with several other companies, including&nbsp;Neuralink&nbsp;and&nbsp;X. With the recent announcement that X CEO&nbsp;Linda Yaccarino&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/social-media/25/07/46329375/x-ceo-yaccarino-splits-with-elon-musk-after-two-years-says-best-is-yet-to-come-for-social-platform" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">is stepping down,</a>&nbsp;Musk's time commitment to the social media platform may increase.

Voters Want Third Party Option, But 77% Say 'Not So Much' To Elon Musk, While Trump Approval At 44%

It started with a stock short and ended with memes, jabs, and one of the messiest billionaire feuds in recent memory.
Bill Gates isn't new to criticism, but he didn't expect a full-on cold war with Elon Musk. At least, not over Tesla. "Once he heard I'd shorted the stock, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43880898/im-in-awe-bill-gates-says-elon-musk-is-brilliant-rich-and-influential-but-admits-hes-been-mean-to-me-at-times">he was super mean to me</a>," Gates told Walter Isaacson, the author of Musk's 2023 biography. Then came the part that made the quote instantly viral: "But he's super mean to so many people, so you can't take it too personally."
Gates confirmed he had bet against Tesla stock—shorting it—and according to Isaacson, that revelation didn't sit well with Musk. Text messages between the two billionaires, later confirmed by Musk himself, showed how quickly things soured. Musk asked Gates point-blank if he still held a "half billion dollar short position against Tesla." Gates admitted, "Sorry to say I haven't closed it yet. I would like to discuss philanthropy possibilities."

</ul>
Musk didn't hold back. "Sorry, I cannot take your philanthropy on climate change seriously when you have a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/management/25/07/46296787/elon-musk-says-bill-gates-bet-500-million-on-teslas-demise-then-had-the-nerve-to-ask-him-for-a-donation-boggles-the-mind">massive short position against Tesla</a>, the company doing the most to solve climate change," he replied. Days later, Musk posted a meme mocking Gates' weight and moved on—at least publicly.
But the drama didn't stop.
By 2025, their rift had ballooned into something far bigger than stock positions or bad memes. It's now a full-blown ideological clash, with Musk and Gates trading public blows over foreign aid, philanthropy, and how billionaires should use their wealth.

In May, Gates accused Musk of harming the world's most vulnerable. After Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency cut funding to programs like the U.S. Agency for International Development, Gates told <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45311187/the-picture-of-the-worlds-richest-man-killing-the-worlds-poorest-children-is-not-a-pretty-one-says-bill-gates-slamming-elon-musk-over-abrupt-usaid-cuts">reporters the decision "killed vulnerable children</a>." Musk shot back, calling the accusation false and referencing Gates' ties to disgraced financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, saying, "I wouldn't trust that guy to babysit my kids."
The feud escalated from there. Musk called USAID "beyond repair." Gates fired back, defending it as "the best of the world's development agencies." While Gates pledged to give away nearly his entire $200 billion fortune by 2045, Musk continued slashing what he saw as bloated government spending—touting a "move fast, cut waste" approach that echoes his tech playbook.
And despite their public platforms and billionaire status, there's been <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44434228/elon-musk-said-bill-gates-would-be-obliterated-for-shorting-tesla-but-short-sellers-just-made-16-2-billion-in-3-months-betting-against-him">zero sign of reconciliation</a>. In fact, their feud now shapes how the public debates government responsibility, philanthropy, and who gets to define "doing good."

Gates leans toward strategic, long-term investment in public health and education. Musk prefers disruption, arguing that bureaucracy and inefficiency do more harm than good. One believes in continuity. The other believes in chaos—at least if it saves money and speeds things up.
For now, they remain on opposite sides of almost everything—from aid policy to social media etiquette. Gates apologized to Musk about the Tesla shorting. The relationship didn't recover. Instead, it evolved into a headline-grabbing standoff between two of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/11/41809171/bill-gates-says-being-a-billionaire-is-overrated-being-rich-brings-you-freedom-but-beyond-that-i">world's richest men</a>—and a reminder that even billionaires take things personally.

$1000 Invested In Middleby 20 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

The Roundhill Video Games ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NERD#NASDAQ">NERD</a>) launched in 2019 and is having a great year in 2025 thanks to the launch of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/gaming/25/06/45776150/jensen-huang-says-nintendo-switch-2-has-ai-processors-to-enhance-gameplay-unlike-anything-weve-built-before">Switch 2 console</a> from Nintendo Co (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NTDOY#OTC">NTDOY</a>).
Roundhill Investments CEO Dave Mazza shares thoughts on the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/gaming/25/07/46455645/250000-for-a-stapler-gamestop-turns-blunder-into-big-charity-win"> Switch 2 launch</a>, what sports games mean to Electronic Arts (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EA#NASDAQ">EA</a>) and why GameStop Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GME#NYSE">GME</a>) doesn't make the cut for inclusion in the ETF.
Switch 2 Success: The Nintendo Switch 2 launched with a price of $449, $150 above the cost of the original 2017 model. Despite the higher price, the console saw strong initial sales and continues to sell-out.
"All early datapoints say ‘blockbuster.' Nintendo sold 3.5 million Switch 2 units in the first four days, the fastest start for any console in the firm's history," Mazza told Benzinga.
Mazza said the strong early sales have Nintendo management guiding to ship 15 million consoles in the current fiscal year, which will lift revenue by more than 60% and operating profit by around 13%.
The Roundhill CEO said the consensus is that Nintendo could return to record earnings if the strong unit sales and strong software sales happen as quickly as the original Switch.
But it's not just the Switch 2 that makes a Nintendo investment exciting, Mazza told Benzinga. Nintendo is currently the largest holding at 12.1% of assets in the Roundhill Video Games ETF.
"The investment story increasingly pivots on monetizing intellectual property beyond plastic cartridges."
Mazza said this includes first-party software like the "Donkey Kong Bananza" game, mobile apps, royalties from movies and the company's theme-park footprint.
"Each new entertainment vertical widens reach, supports evergreen game sales and extends the duration of cash flows, which is an IP flywheel few peers can replicate."

Microsoft Vs. Nintendo?: A potential competitor to the Switch 2 could be coming with Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) announcing the ROG Xbox Ally and Ally 2. Mazza said these are more "portable Windows gaming PCs" than video game consoles.
"They aim at the enthusiast Steam-Deck tier rather than the family-friendly Switch demographic."
Mazza said success for the Microsoft handheld will come based on access to the full Xbox Game Pass library on day one, strong battery life and specs to run AAA titles and a price point of under $799.
"If Microsoft nails those three, the device can thrive alongside and not directly against Switch 2."
Mazza said Nintendo having NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) chips and Microsoft having Advanced Micro Devices Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) chips won't be a major selling point for gamers, but maybe to investors.
"The logo matter more to investors with Nvidia's presence signaling another growth beachhead, whereas gamers judge on real-world performance and ecosystem fit."
EA Sports: Electronic Arts releases sports titles annually and is growing its library thanks to the expansion in college sports.
"Sports titles are EA's cash cow as Madden and College Football together drove an upside revision to FY-25 bookings," Mazza told Benzinga.
Mazza said the report that a college basketball franchise could be returning to EA would mean another annualized franchise with "highly monetizable Ultimate-Team-style modes."
The Roundhill CEO estimates that a college basketball video game could sell four million titles conservatively and could mean $300 million in bookings for EA. The game could also increase engagement between gamers and EA in between football seasons.
GameStop Not In ETF: Investors might think that it makes sense to put video game retailer GameStop into the video game ETF, but that's not the case.
Mazza said there are several reasons GameStop doesn't make the ETF cut. The most important one is the ETF seeking to track the Nasdaq CTA Global Video Games Software Index, which GameStop isn't included.
The index includes publishers and developers of games and digital content creators, but doesn't include physical retailers.
Mazza also said GameStop's current financials would likely keep the stock out of the ETF.
"GameStop also fails the growth-quality screen: revenue is shrinking double-digits as sales migrate online, and recent meme-driven volatility has been disconnected from fundamentals."
NERD Price Action: The Roundhill Video Games ETF ended trading at $25.94 on Thursday versus a 52-week trading range of $14.50 to $26.75. The ETF is up 31.3% year-to-date in 2025 and up 57.7% over the last year. Nintendo, the largest holding in the ETF, is up 50.4% year-to-date in 2025.
