Here's How Much You Would Have Made Owning Performance Food Gr Stock In The Last 5 Years

A Reddit user claims they were offered what they call a dream job—a role created specifically for them, thanks to a rare skill set. But one small lie about their salary is now threatening the entire opportunity.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A $3K Lie And A Pay Stub Request</h2>
According to the <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/careeradvice/comments/1lnfem1/a_potential_employer_offered_me_my_dream_job_but/">post</a> in Reddit&#8217;s r/careeradvice subreddit, the prospective employer offered $60,000 and asked for a recent pay stub to verify their current salary. The problem? The applicant told them they make $65,000. In reality, they earn $62,000.
Don't Miss:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Invest early in CancerVax's breakthrough tech aiming to disrupt a $231B market. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/this-company-may-have-found-a-way-to-treat-cancer-by-tricking-the-bodys-immune-system-and-early-studies-show-some-promise-find-out-how-you-can-invest-in-the-future-of-cancer-treatment">Back a bold new approach to cancer treatment with high-growth potential.</a></li>

</ul>
The request for a pay stub struck many commenters as inappropriate, if not suspicious. &#8220;It's a red flag for them to even ask how much you currently make,&#8221; one person wrote. &#8220;I would say you're not comfortable providing a paystub, but they are welcome to verify your employment through a standard background check.&#8221;
Another user added, &#8220;That's wack, I&#8217;m glad it&#8217;s illegal where I live.&#8221;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">&#8216;Dream Job&#8217; Or Red Flag?</h2>
While some were sympathetic to the applicant&#8217;s dilemma, many pointed out that the job offer didn't seem like much of a dream after all.
&#8220;I don&#8217;t know if you know what a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/05/45565105/becoming-a-flight-attendant-was-supposed-to-be-a-dream-job-instead-it-wrecked-their-finances-its-been-financially-devastating">dream job</a> is, or maybe you have sh&#x2A;tty dreams but a salary decrease and you&#8217;re losing benefits, PTO, and a week off on Xmas? How is this a dream job?&#8221; one person asked. On the other hand, the original poster said their <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45445458/i-got-a-new-job-with-my-dream-salary-but-now-i-miss-my-old-job-suze-orman-offers-some-advice">current job isn&#8217;t a good fit</a> for them and &#8220;isn&#8217;t going well.&#8221;
Still, others questioned the value of the so-called rare skill set. &#8220;People with very rare skills don&#8217;t command salaries in the mid-60s,&#8221; a commenter said.
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>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Should They Fake It?</h2>
The thread also sparked a fierce debate about ethics. Some people encouraged OP to forge a pay stub. &#8220;Sometimes in life you take the easiest path,&#8221; one user said. &#8220;Capitalism is a big f&#x2A;&#x2A;&#x2A;n game.&#8221;
But most strongly advised against it. &#8220;Falsifying a pay stub is illegal as it is considered fraud with intent to gain monetarily,&#8221; one commenter warned. &#8220;It's a recipe for getting fired when they find out.&#8221;
Instead, people suggested the person lean into the truth and negotiate based on total compensation, not just salary. They should explain that they won't share a stub, but that the $65,000 number reflects total compensation, including health insurance, PTO, and bonuses.
&#8220;This isn't some aha gotcha moment,&#8221; another person reassured. &#8220;$3,000 is a rounding error. Most people round when talking about salary.&#8221;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Lesson In Negotiation</h2>
Another popular comment summed it up like this: &#8220;Your salary requirements for the new job should be based on the actual role and responsibilities for this type of position, your overall job experience, AND what the average salary is in your industry for this role.&#8221;
If the company insists on a pay stub, most commenters agree it&#8217;s not worth it. They should say: &#8216;$65K is the salary I would need to take this job. Thank you for your consideration.&#8217; And that's the end of the discussion.&#8221;

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

In the current market session, Golub Capital BDC Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GBDC#NASDAQ">GBDC</a>) price is at $14.77, after a 0.68% spike. However, over the past month, the stock fell by 2.31%, and in the past year, by 7.28%. Shareholders might be interested in knowing whether the stock is undervalued, even if the company is performing up to par in the current session. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1751659215_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Comparing Golub Capital BDC P/E Against Its Peers</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. 
Golub Capital BDC has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 18.03 of the Capital Markets industry. Ideally, one might believe that the stock might perform worse than its peers, but it's also probable that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1751659215_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.

Here's How Much $1000 Invested In Costco Wholesale 20 Years Ago Would Be Worth Today

Wall Street powered through the shortened holiday week, with both the S&amp;P 500 and the Nasdaq 100 climbing to fresh record highs, as upbeat economic data and major policy shifts <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets">helped fuel investor confidence.</a>
Optimism got an extra boost after President Donald Trump announced a surprise trade deal with Vietnam. The agreement includes a 20% tariff on all Vietnamese imports and a 40% tariff on transshipped goods. In return, U.S. companies will get full access to Vietnam's domestic market, a key win for American exporters. 
Markets responded positively, with investors viewing it as a signal that Trump is favoring targeted trade enforcement over sweeping tariffs.

Labor market data surpassed expectations: Nonfarm payrolls rose by 147,000 in June, exceeding the projection of 110,000. The unemployment rate dropped to 4.1%, defying forecasts for a rise to 4.3% and hitting its lowest level since January. A big surprise came from government hiring, which added 73,000 jobs — the largest<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/economic-data/25/07/46244105/june-jobs-report-nonfarm-payroll-adp-data"> jump since March 2023.</a>
On the industrial side, new orders for U.S. manufactured goods jumped 8.2% in May to $642 billion. This was the largest monthly surge since 2014 and the third-largest on record, as firms moved quickly to capitalize on the temporary suspension of "Liberation Day" tariffs.
This economic resilience complicates the Federal Reserve's outlook for near-term rate cuts. Chair Jerome Powell said the door remains open for a potential rate cut at the July 30 meeting, though he emphasized the importance of incoming data. Yet, after the robust jobs report, market-based odds for a cut fell sharply to just 7%.

Wall Street Ends Holiday Week At Record Highs As Jobs, Trade Deal Lift Sentiment: This Week In Markets

For one teen living abroad, aging out of childhood came with an unexpected setback — the loss of Social Security survivor benefits, despite still being enrolled in high school. The student, currently residing in the Philippines, shared their experience on Reddit's <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/SocialSecurity/comments/1lo1jfp/ssa_benefits_cut_off_at_18_still_in_high_school/">r/SocialSecurity</a>, detailing a months-long struggle to reinstate benefits and receive back pay after turning 18 in October.
The teen had been receiving Social Security benefits as a dependent of their American father, who qualified for Social Security Disability Insurance. Under <a href="https://www.ssa.gov/pubs/EN-05-10137.pdf">Social Security rules</a>, these benefits can continue past age 18 if the student is still enrolled full-time in high school — but only if they complete and submit <a href="https://www.ssa.gov/forms/ssa-1372.pdf">Form SSA-1372</a>, a school attendance certification form.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Form Submitted — But Lost in the Shuffle</h2>
"I've followed the rules, submitted everything (twice!), called for help, and done everything I was supposed to—but I&#8217;m still being left in the dark," the student wrote.&nbsp;
They say they followed the steps precisely: their school completed its section of the SSA-1372 form on September 5, and the student mailed it shortly after. After some delivery concerns, they resent it using a more secure courier service later that month.
Despite this, a termination notice from the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45601283/social-security-checks-could-shrink-for-450000-retirees-as-government-resumes-seizing-benefits-over-student-loan-defaults">Social Security Administration</a> arrived just before the student's 18th birthday. A second attempt to submit the form was made in October. Still, by June this year — more than eight months later — no benefits had resumed and no back payments had been received.
"We also tried calling the SSA toll-free number multiple times, but every agent seems to say something different," the student wrote. "One agent told us they could see a note and that the documents were being processed. But when we called again and spoke to someone else, they claimed they didn't see any record of receiving my forms at all."

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Miscommunication and Misdelivery</h2>
A key issue may be where the form was sent. The student followed mailing instructions that pointed to a Veterans Affairs office in Manila. Some commenters on Reddit urged the student to send the form to the U.S. Embassy in Manila, rather than the VA office.&nbsp;
This confusion isn't unusual, according to commenters in the thread. One noted that if the case ends up at the Program Service Center — the office that handles student benefits — it can take months due to a growing backlog.&nbsp;
&#8220;It's not uncommon if it takes up to a year," the commenter said. "But once they get to your case, you'll get a lump sum payment for the 6 months you were a full time high school student at an accredited school."

U.S. citizens are generally eligible to receive payments abroad, and the Philippines is one of the countries where payments can be sent. However, for non-citizen dependents or survivors, eligibility may depend on meeting specific requirements — such as having lived in the U.S. for at least five years.
In this case, the student believes their high school meets all the necessary SSA requirements. Their principal even confirmed that a similar situation had occurred before — and the previous student was eventually paid in full.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Still Waiting, Still Hoping</h2>
The teen graduated from high school in May and should have remained eligible for benefits until then. Despite multiple submissions, confirmation attempts, and a missed callback appointment from SSA, they are still waiting for resolution.

'I've Followed The Rules — But I'm Still Left In The Dark': Teen Abroad Loses Survivor Benefit After Turning 18, Still Fighting For Back Pay

A stronger-than-expected labor report just crushed any hopes that the Federal Reserve would lower rates this month—despite speculation from Wall Street and direct demands <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/donald-trump">from President Donald Trump.</a>
In June, the U.S. economy added 147,000 jobs, topping forecasts, while the unemployment rate ticked down to 4.1%, according to the latest Bureau of Labor Statistics data released Friday. Those numbers make it hard for the Fed to justify an imminent rate cut, as inflation remains above the 2% target. 
That's a problem for Trump, who's been repeatedly calling out Fed Chair Jerome Powell for delivering large rate cuts. 
But the Fed appears unfazed—at least for now.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Economists Just Don&#8217;t See Near-Term Fed Rate Cuts</h3>
Bank of America economist Aditya Bhave said the data was "solid," adding that, "average job growth is above breakeven, and the u-rate is down. This should let the Fed stay in wait-and-see mode."
He did flag a few concerns—like weaker private-sector job growth at just 74,000 and flat aggregate private income—but not enough to change the outlook. 
Bhave reiterated his base case that "the Fed won't cut this year," especially if the economy holds up and inflation trends higher, possibly to 3% in the coming months.
That puts markets in a bind.
Over the past few weeks, traders had priced in what some economists called a "Goldilocks" path—a scenario where inflation stays tame enough to allow cuts even with decent job growth. But Bhave pushed back on that idea, saying, "We always thought this scenario was the least likely."
If he&#8217;s right, either stocks or short-term bond yields, or both, are probably mispriced.
"Given the strong jobs numbers along with the extension of tax cuts and potentially higher tariff levels…the Fed is much less likely to cut rates this month than many were talking about earlier this week," said Chris Zaccarelli, chief investment officer at Northlight Asset Management. 
Zaccarelli believes a cut could still happen—just not right away. "The Fed is likely to wait until later in this quarter or even until the fourth quarter." 

Other economists echoed that timeline. Bill Adams, chief economist at Comerica Bank, said, "The Fed has a maximum employment mandate, not a job growth or GDP growth mandate. If the unemployment rate is holding steady…the job market won't give the Fed a reason to cut."
Adams sees a rate cut as possible in October or December, "but more likely to be driven by cooler-than-expected inflation than by an increase in unemployment."
Nancy Vanden Houten, lead U.S. economist at Oxford Economics, said the Fed still has reason to wait. "While there were some elements of softness beneath the better-than-expected headlines, the June employment report was strong enough to allow the Federal Reserve to keep policy on hold," she said.
She doesn't expect action until the inflationary impact of tariffs fades. "We expect the inflationary impact of tariffs to have peaked by the fourth quarter, allowing the Fed to start cutting rates in December."
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Investors Still Betting On Cuts</h3>
Despite the Fed's cautious tone, markets are still leaning toward at least two rate cuts this year. Fed futures currently imply 55 basis points of cuts by December 2025, according to CME Group Fed Watch. 
CFTC-regulated betting exchange Kalshi shows there's a 37% chance of two 25-basis-point cuts by December. As of Friday, Kalshi traders were pricing the following probabilities for Fed cuts by December 2025:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>0 cuts (0 bps): 15%</li>
<li>1 cut (25 bps): 22%</li>
<li>2 cuts (50 bps): 36%</li>
<li>3 cuts (75 bps): 17%</li>
<li>4 cuts (100 bps): 5%</li>
</ul>
That means the market sees a 58% chance of at least two cuts by year-end, and a 22% probability of three or more, despite the strength of the labor market and the potential second-half inflationary risks from tariffs.

Trump And Wall Street Want Rate Cuts—The Data Says: Keep Waiting

Aerospace startup Muon Space has <a href="https://www.muonspace.com/press/muon-space-completes-146-million-series-b-to-scale-satellite-constellations-for-defense-and-commercial-missions">booked</a> $146 million in total Series B funding, allowing the satellite constellation manufacturer to ramp up production at a new 130,000-square-foot complex in San Jose, California. Its book of business grew by leaps and bounds in 2024, adding over $100 million in contracts. The high-tech team is growing as well, <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/muon-space">doubling</a> in one year to over 150 employees.
The four-year old company collected $89.5 million in new funds, with $44.5 million in equity and $45 million in credit facilities. The round follows August 2024's $56 million <a href="https://www.muonspace.com/press/muon-space-secures-56m-series-b-funding-surpasses-100m-in-customer-contracts-in-2024-including-landmark-agreement-with-snc">cash haul</a>. Congruent Venture led the investor syndicate, along with Activate Capital, Acme Capital, Costanoa Ventures, Radical Ventures and ArcTern Ventures. Congruent Managing Partner Joshua Posamentier touted the installment, saying, "Muon is building the high-performance scale solution the space industry has been missing."

Aerospace engineers Jonny Dyer, Paul Day, Dan McCleese, Reuben Rohrschneider and Pascal Stang incorporated Muon Space in 2021. All have strong resumes in propulsion, mission control and large-scale operations, according to <a href="https://techfundingnews.com/muon-space-series-b-funding-satellite-constellation">Techfundingnews</a>, with "shared expertise in scalable hardware design and a vision for vertically integrated satellite systems." It lists its smaller competitors as Planet, Icey, and Spire.
SpaceX and <a href="https://www.airbus.com/en/products-services/space/telecommunications-and-navigation-satellites/low-earth-orbit-satellite-constellation">Airbus</a> popularized 21st century satellite constellations, but they have been around for more than three decades. The basic manufacturing tech constructs and deploys multiple satellites into a coordinated network, using streamlined and automated production techniques. The system design has many applications, especially those requiring continuous global coverage. The Starlink satellite system is probably the best-known example of a modern constellation.

In addition to new funding, Muon announced the acquisition of Starlight Engines, a 2022 propulsion startup described as "pioneering the first commercially available solid propellant Hall-effect thruster systems – a safe, affordable and scalable alternative to traditional propulsion systems." The company is now integrating the tech into production, expecting the acquisition to "accelerate delivery times while improving both schedule reliability and overall mission performance.&#8221;&nbsp;&nbsp;
The San Jose facility will support production at scale, ramping up to 500 mini-satellites (100 to 500 kg) per year. According to Muon, it meets strict <a href="https://www.ul.com/services/national-industrial-security-system-certification">UL 2050</a> security standards that let the manufacturer bid for lucrative commercial and defense contracts. The full integration environment has allocated 70,000 square feet to manufacturing and 30,000 square feet to cleanroom environments, both powered by a 300 kilowatt solar array. Standardization is lowering production costs, with many systems <a href="https://www.airborne.com/are-you-ready-for-the-future-of-satellite-constellation-production/#:~:text=Automation%20provides%20the%20answer.,waste%20while%20improving%20structural%20performance.">sharing</a> components and modular designs.&nbsp;

Satellite constellations now number in the <a href="https://eos.com/blog/satellite-constellation/">thousands</a>, evidence this tech has blossomed into a high-demand manufacturing niche. But it's always tough for startups to compete against industry whales. The company says it will meet this challenge with a vertically integrated approach that offers an &#8220;industrial-scale alternative, unlocking faster delivery, improved mission performance, and greater resilience across the space value chain.&#8221;
"We're focused on delivering mission-optimized satellite constellation systems to customers at unprecedented speed," says CEO Dyer. And Muon Space's growing book of business, highlighted by 2024's new contracts, predicts a bright future for the maturing startup.&nbsp;

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

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. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 19.33 in the Diversified Consumer Services industry, Frontdoor Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 19.02. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued.

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.

P/E Ratio Insights for Frontdoor

Many children look forward to summer getting started. After nine months of sitting at desks, writing notes, and taking exams, they're ready for a more flexible schedule. However, these summer vacations are stressful for many parents. They have to plan camp trips and keep their children busy while juggling full-time work.
This concern recently made its way into the HENRY Finance Reddit community. This group is filled with high earners who aren't rich yet, and many of them explained how challenging it is to <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/HENRYfinance/comments/1lk7qrt/working_parents_and_summers_is_the_world_against/">take care of the kids during summer</a>.
"The world is set up against families with two working parents," the original poster mentioned.

The couple, with one of the spouses being the original poster, earns a combined $260,000 per year. They have a 3-year-old in daycare and a 6-year-old in a summer program that has been disappointing so far. Other Redditors shared their experiences with raising children during the summer and how they are navigating the current environment.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Try Gyms</h2>
One of the top comments came from a Redditor who encouraged the community to give gyms a try. Many gyms have activities for children and offer structured activities. The commenter specifically mentioned two gyms that offer a wide range of activities.
"Both the YMCA and Lifetime Fitness do full summer camps with drop-off and pick-up flexibility. All day programming, but time by the pool, weekly fieldtrips, etc."
If you work out at the gym each day, you may want to take your kids with you during some of those days. That way, they're getting in good exercise, which will let them use their energy early in the day.&nbsp;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Create Structure</h2>
Many Redditors emphasized the value of creating structure in your children's schedules. Some parents were stay-at-home moms until they saw it was too hard for them to commit to structured schedules for their children at a consistent rate.&nbsp;
It's also an uphill battle since many parents in the neighborhood may also have their kids in a summer camp. This trend plays out in many areas, and it gives parents fewer options for their kids if they don't want to embark on a summer program.
"We would all be miserable with an extended period of no structure," one Redditor stated. Another person commented right under that post in agreement.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Prioritize Correctly</h2>
While you have to work to put food on the table, you don't want to overdo it either. It makes more sense to work extra hours and pursue every good opportunity when you are single, but the dynamic shifts for many people when they become adults. One Redditor summed this trend up nicely.
"Make sure you are spending time wisely at work and not just working for work&#8217;s sake. Cut back rigorously on [stuff] that doesn't matter. When I had no kids, I put in 60 hours regularly; as a parent, I put in 35-45, depending on the situation. My performance reviews never got worse."
The original poster responded to the comments with some thoughts and a career journey that encapsulates many individuals who are grappling between their work and being present for their children.
"My current work is actually closing in the middle of July. And I&#8217;ve already lined something else up, but it&#8217;s gonna take a little [time] to be credentialed, and so I am going to pull the kids from everything and spend some nice weeks with them at home. But the new job is definitely gonna be longer hours at first. But, it&#8217;s also good for the career. But, I don&#8217;t want to forget what&#8217;s important for sure."

'The World Is Set Up Against Families With Two Working Parents' – A Couple Earning $260,000 Per Year Shares Their Struggle With Summer Camps

Arkadiy Amiryan, Chief Operating Officer of Veles Finance, challenged the idea that user-friendly crypto trading bots are responsible for flash crashes or amplifying herd behavior in the digital asset market. 
Instead, he pointed to social media hype and high-profile endorsements as the primary drivers of sudden price swings, emphasizing that bots alone do not destabilize the market. 
"In my opinion, cryptocurrency market crashes happen due to loud and sometimes reckless statements from the most popular people," Amiryan told Benzinga in an interview. "Someone says or writes something in X—and then we see a rapid fall of some project. This looks like unfair play."
He emphasized that scams and speculative tokens, rather than automated strategies, pose the more immediate threat to market stability.
Amiryan highlighted that trading bots, like those offered by Veles Finance, are neutral tools that execute predefined strategies without emotional bias. 
&#8220;Bots don't suffer from FOMO, but the blind spot is always risk management. If users fail to set proper safeguards, that's where problems can arise,&#8221; he said.
Founded in 2022 and based in Dubai, Veles Finance provides a no-code, cloud-native platform enabling both novice and advanced traders to deploy customized automated trading strategies across leading exchanges such as Binance, Bybit, and OKX. 
Veles currently supports over 49,000 traders, with $418 million in total bot deposits and over $79 million in cumulative user profits.
Veles Finance on Thursday expanded its reach through a strategic partnership with cryptocurrency exchange Bitget, integrating its automated trading bots into the Bitget platform. 
This collaboration gives Bitget's global user base direct access to Veles's customizable bots across both spot and futures markets.

Amiryan acknowledged the growing accessibility of trading bots, thanks to user-friendly platforms like Veles, but stressed the company's focus on responsible trading. 
&#8220;We always educate our users about risk management. Trading bots are powerful, but users must understand their strategies and market conditions to avoid unnecessary exposure,&#8221; he said.
The Bitget-Veles partnership also provides users with advanced risk management features, including dynamic stop-losses, multi-take profits, and trailing profit mechanisms. 
Veles's professional-grade backtesting engine further allows users to refine strategies using historical market data before committing capital.
As automated crypto trading continues to grow, Amiryan emphasized that scalability will not come at the cost of user-centricity. 
&#8220;Our priority is always our users. Without them, we cannot grow. As we scale, we'll keep improving user experience, ensuring that customization and control remain at the core of our product.&#8221;
Industry participants like Amiryan believe that while algorithmic trading may introduce efficiencies, the key to navigating crypto's inherent volatility lies in robust education, risk awareness, and strategic execution, not the abandonment of automation.
