President Donald Trump&#8216;s approval ratings have taken a significant hit on almost all fronts, with the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/45027947/trumps-second-term-viewed-as-chaotic-and-scary-by-majority-of-voters">notable exception of border security</a>.
What Happened: A new <a href="https://www.gelliottmorris.com/p/announcing-the-strength-in-numbersverasight">poll</a> by Strength in Numbers/Verasight, reveals that President Trump&#8217;s approval ratings are in the negative on every issue, except for border security. The survey, conducted from May 1 to May 6, included 1,000 adult participants.
The poll results show that a mere 40 percent of respondents&nbsp;either strongly or somewhat approve&nbsp;of Trump&#8217;s overall presidency, while 56 percent disapprove. 
This puts him at a deficit of 16 points. On specific policy areas, Trump&#8217;s ratings are even more dismal, with a net negative&nbsp;32-point rating on prices and&nbsp;inflation, and a 17-point deficit on jobs and the economy.
Additionally, Trump&#8217;s ratings are down by 20 points&nbsp;on government funding and social&nbsp;programs, and by 17 points on healthcare. His policies&nbsp;on immigration and deportations also&nbsp;received negative ratings, with deficits of two points and six points, respectively.

However, when it comes to border security, Trump seems to have found his silver lining, with&nbsp;a net positive approval rating&nbsp;of 10 points. 52 percent of respondents approve of his record on this issue, while 42 percent disapprove.
Despite these discouraging figures, it&#8217;s important to remember that&nbsp;there are still 17 months&nbsp;to go&nbsp;before the congressional midterm elections&nbsp;in 2026. A strategic&nbsp;shift in policy by the&nbsp;administration could potentially turn these ratings around.
Why It Matters: These poll results could have significant implications for the upcoming midterm elections. Trump&#8217;s low approval ratings on key issues such as the economy, healthcare, and government funding could potentially sway voters away from his party. 
However, his positive rating on border security might appeal to a certain demographic, potentially helping to balance out some of the negative sentiment. 
The next 17 months will be crucial in determining whether Trump can turn the tide in his favor.

Poll Shows Trump's Approval Rating Underwater on Nearly Everything From Economy to Abortion

Jensen Huang says bussing tables at Denny's as a shy teenager taught him the people skills that helped him co-found Nvidia (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), now an AI colossus worth roughly $3 trillion.
What Happened: Speaking on Hewlett-Packard's "The Moment" show back in October 2023, he added that the all-night diner doubled as the brainstorming lab where he and two friends "talked me into building Nvidia."
"My job at Denny's… I was incredibly shy and it got me to be able to interact with people a lot better," Huang recalled, praising the chain's bottomless coffee for fueling their late-night design sessions.

Three decades later, Huang still wraps sausages in pancakes — &#8220;This is exactly how I eat a pancake, to this very day,&#8221; he laughed — and tries to dissuade milkshake orders because &#8220;nothing kills me more than when somebody orders a shake.&#8221;

Nvidia's Jensen Huang Doesn't Want You To Order A Shake At Denny's, 'Get A Coke' He Says

In a social media outburst this week, President Donald Trump targeted music icons Taylor Swift and Bruce Springsteen, as well as the Supreme Court.
What Happened: Upon returning from a four-day Middle East journey, Trump immediately took to Truth Social to air his grievances. Swift and Springsteen, both of whom have been outspoken critics of the president, were his first targets.
Springsteen had earlier voiced his disapproval of the Trump administration during a concert in Manchester, England, on May 14. Trump retaliated by labeling the musician as &#8220;overrated&#8221; and hinted at potential consequences upon Springsteen&#8217;s return to the U.S.
&#8220;I see that Highly Overrated Bruce Springsteen goes to a Foreign Country to speak badly about the President of the United States. Never liked him, never liked his music, or his Radical Left Politics and, importantly, he's not a talented guy — Just a pushy, obnoxious JERK, who fervently supported Crooked Joe Biden,&#8221; Trump said in the <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114517896576879203?_sp=dd04cda4-eba1-403f-a691-7d0aaa8dfc19.1747462116726">post</a>.

&#8220;This dried out &#8216;prune&#8217; of a rocker (his skin is all atrophied!) ought to KEEP HIS MOUTH SHUT until he gets back into the Country, that's just &#8216;standard fare.&#8217; Then we'll all see how it goes for him!&#8221; he further added in that post.
Swift also found herself in the crosshairs of Trump&#8217;s wrath. The president had previously expressed his distaste for the singer after she endorsed his political rival, Kamala Harris, in the 2024 presidential race.
&#8220;Has anyone noticed that, since I said &#8216;I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT,&#8217; she's no longer &#8216;HOT?&#8217;" Trump said in another <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114517718765768352">post</a>.
Trump also voiced his dissatisfaction with the Supreme Court, which had previously thwarted his administration&#8217;s attempt&nbsp;to use a 1798 wartime&nbsp;law to deport a group&nbsp;of Venezuelan immigrants. The president described the ruling as a &#8220;bad and dangerous day for&nbsp;America.&#8221;
Why It Matters: This recent outburst from Trump is indicative of the escalating tension between the president and his critics. The targeting of high-profile figures such as Swift and Springsteen, who have large followings and significant influence, suggests an increasingly combative approach from the president. 
His criticism of the Supreme Court also underscores the ongoing conflict between the executive and judicial branches of government. 
This incident further highlights the polarized political climate and raises questions about the potential implications for future policy and legislation.

Trump Takes Aim at Taylor Swift: 'No Longer Hot' — Slams 'Washed Up' Bruce Springsteen

Charlie Munger, the late Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) vice chair, once mentioned that smart stock traders imitate baseball sluggers who "wait for one that they can really handle" instead of hacking at every offering.
What Happened: Munger told CNBC in a birthday-tribute <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2023/11/30/full-transcript-from-cnbcs-charlie-munger-a-life-of-wit-and-wisdom-.html">interview</a> in November 2023, &#8220;The great home runners do not remotely swing at every pitch … and that's what great stock traders do too,&#8221; driving home a lesson about patience and risk control.
Munger's warning came after host Becky Quick asked how to avoid ruinous mistakes. "Do not live your life in such a fashion that a bad day can kill you," he replied, a nod to steering clear of excessive leverage.

The 99-year-old billionaire, who <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/11/35989969/charlie-munger-buffetts-trusted-partner-dies-at-99">died two weeks later</a>, built his fortune alongside Warren Buffett by waiting years for rare, high-conviction opportunities such as Coca-Cola and American Express, then betting big. Their approach echoes Buffett's own diamond-plate axiom: &#8220;The stock market is a no-called-strike game. You don&#8217;t have to swing at everything – you can wait for your pitch.&#8221;
Why It Matters: While not one to draw too many sports parallels, in the same 2023 interview, Munger praised legendary UCLA coach John Wooden for concentrating minutes on his seven best players — an allegory for loading up on a few standout stocks.
Buffett, meanwhile, often <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/how-to-swing-a-deal-like-warren-buffett/">cites</a> Baseball legend Ted Williams, dividing the plate into 77 cells to prove that selective swings boost averages — his metaphor for a tight circle of competence. Similarly, in a 1974 Fortune <a href="https://novelinvestor.com/buffetts-no-called-strikes/">interview</a>, Buffett stressed that investors can watch endless pitches without penalty, unlike ballplayers facing an umpire's count.

Charlie Munger Once Compared Smart Investors To 'Great Home Runners' And Explained Why Winners 'Wait For One They Can Really Handle'

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) has addressed rumors that President Donald Trump discouraged her from pursuing a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38131609/marjorie-taylor-greenes-unfounded-blackmail-claims-against-speaker-mike-johnson-stir-tensions-in-gop">U.S. Senate seat</a>.
What Happened: According to a report, Trump&#8217;s team carried out a poll which indicated Greene was lagging considerably in the Senate race. The president allegedly presented these results to Greene, in an effort to dissuade her from entering the race.
There has been rampant speculation about Greene&#8217;s political trajectory, with many pondering if she would challenge incumbent Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-Ga.) next year. With a strong GOP candidate, Ossoff&#8217;s re-election race is said to be a tossup.
According to the report <a href="https://www.wsj.com/politics/elections/trump-helped-ease-marjorie-taylor-greene-out-of-possible-senate-run-f0581580">by</a> The Wall Street Journal, the survey, executed by Trump&#8217;s long-term pollster Tony Fabrizio, reportedly indicated Greene trailing Ossoff by 18 points, despite a potential primary victory. The poll indicated that Gov. Brian Kemp (R) or Small Business Administration Administrator Kelly Loeffler (R), a former Georgia senator, would be stronger contenders against Ossoff.
In response to the Journal report, Greene took to social media to deny having discussed a Senate run with Trump. She lambasted the media narrative being constructed around her and cast doubt on the poll&#8217;s accuracy.

&#8220;I have never spoken with President Trump about running for Senate or any other race. But for some reason, some consultants and aids [sic] are leaking to the usual tools in the media in order to promote the narrative they want to tell about me,&#8221; she said in a post on X.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Despite the ongoing controversy, Greene has not yet committed to any potential races, stating that her decision will be based on&nbsp;&#8220;where I can be most&nbsp;effective and what is good&nbsp;for me and my family.&#8221;
Why It Matters: This incident highlights the ongoing influence of Donald Trump within the Republican Party, even after his presidency.
The fact that his advice could potentially sway the political ambitions of a sitting congresswoman like Greene, who is a staunch supporter of his, underscores his continued relevance and sway within the party.
This development could also impact the balance of power in the Senate, depending on whether Greene decides to run or not.

Did Trump Talk Marjorie Taylor Greene Out of Georgia Senate Run?

It's easy to feel behind when people show off their highlights on social media. Financial guru Vincent Chan recently dissected this trend and <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@vincentchanco/video/7500928898268548385?lang=en">how people appear richer than they actually are</a>.
Knowing how people appear rich is important because breaking facades can take you out of the "Keeping up with the Joneses" cycle. Instead of comparing wealth based on how your friends appear, Chan recommends focusing on your finances. He even offers an optimistic thought to keep in mind.
"You're not behind," Chan assured his followers.
These are the ways people appear richer than their friends, according to Chan.

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Most Americans Take On Debt To Look Rich</h2>
Most people use credit card debt to appear richer than they are. High credit card debt allows people to buy luxury items, and if they display those items, they may appear wealthy. However, that isn't actual wealth.
Chan explains that the average American has $7,000 in unpaid credit card debt. Looking nice doesn't necessarily translate into good finances. Chan mentions that most millionaires drive cheap cars and wear normal clothing.
Becoming a millionaire involves saving money and making good financial decisions over the long run. Even though these people can afford luxury items without going into debt, many of them avoid those purchases because of their financial habits.&nbsp;
Trending: Deloitte's fastest-growing software company partners with Amazon, Walmart &amp; Target – <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mode-mobile-2">Many are rushing to grab 4,000 of its pre-IPO shares for just $0.30/share!</a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Not Knowing What You Want In Life Can Pull You Into The Fake Wealth Web</h2>
Many people compare themselves with others. They view other people as a benchmark for their success, but many of those comparisons come down to material goods. It's part of why the phrase "Keeping up with the Joneses" has been used for more than 100 years.
If someone in a friend group has a luxury handbag, other people in that friend group will follow suit. Chan says you can avoid this cycle by developing a clear vision for your life and knowing what you want.
Having meaningful life goals allows you to compete against yourself instead of comparing others and using them as benchmarks to gauge your success.&nbsp;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Don't Put Too Much Thought On Visible Spending</h2>
Visible spending is another trait of people who look rich but aren't actually wealthy. It can feel like someone is ahead of you if they drive in a luxury car and have the latest iPhone model. However, real wealth comes down to invisible details like your bank account, stock portfolio, financial security, and peace of mind.
You don't know someone's account balance, and visible spending doesn't mean that a person has money to spend. Some people go deep into credit card debt to create the facade of wealth. That's why it is important to silently build wealth and not feel the need to show it off.&nbsp;
People who show off the most and talk the loudest rarely have actual wealth. As Chan mentioned earlier, most millionaires look like ordinary people and have no desire to flex their finances.&nbsp;

Vincent Chan Shares Tricks People Use To Appear Richer Than Their Friends: 'You're Not Behind'

France is witnessing a rising wave of kidnappings aimed at cryptocurrency entrepreneurs. The situation is not only damaging the country&#8217;s reputation but is also becoming a political issue, impacting the government and a potential 2027 presidential contender.
What Happened: A recent increase in ransom kidnappings is creating unrest within France&#8217;s crypto industry and the government led by President Emmanuel Macron. Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau, who is rumored to be a potential candidate for the presidency, is particularly affected by this situation.
Earlier this month, a kidnapping incident concluded&nbsp;with a police raid and&nbsp;the arrest of seven suspects. However, this incident, along with other similar cases, continues to unsettle the crypto industry and the political environment in the country.
Retailleau convened a private meeting with crypto entrepreneurs last Friday&nbsp;to discuss their safety and&nbsp;to limit further harm to his and Macron&#8217;s efforts to establish France as a friendly base for innovative technologies and businesses.
This week, another kidnapping attempt in Paris has further intensified the problem. The victim&#8217;s father, Pierre Noizat, CEO and&nbsp;founder of the Bitcoin exchange&nbsp;platform Paymium, has criticized&nbsp;French judges and politicians for&nbsp;their perceived inaction.

Speaking to French broadcaster BFMTV, Noizat alleged there is "lack of action." He added in the statement that his son-in-law required stitches for injuries suffered while fighting off the attackers. 
He also expressed concerns about other wealthy entrepreneurs saying they could also be targeted. "I think it&#8217;s just the start if nothing is done," he said and as quoted <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/france-tackling-crypto-kidnapping-wave-denting-image-potential-121873316">by</a> ABC News.
Eric Larchevêque, another crypto entrepreneur, reiterated Noizat&#8217;s concerns, stating that all entrepreneurs and France&#8217;s image are at risk. Retailleau&#8217;s ministry has pledged to improve security&nbsp;for crypto entrepreneurs and their&nbsp;families.
"All entrepreneurs and the image of France are threatened," he said in a statement. 
Why It Matters: The escalating wave of kidnappings is not only a threat to the safety of crypto entrepreneurs but also poses a significant challenge to the French government&#8217;s efforts to promote the country as a hub for technological innovation. 
This situation could potentially impact the political ambitions of figures like Retailleau, who are associated with the government&#8217;s tech-friendly policies. 
The government&#8217;s response to this crisis will be closely watched by the crypto industry and could influence the country&#8217;s standing as a desirable location for tech businesses.

Wave of Crypto Kidnappings in France Raises Security Alarms, Possibly Impacting Presidential Race

It's easy to say what you would do in hindsight. People who could start over 10 years ago would likely put their money into Nvidia (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>).
However, this question recently came up in the Investing subreddit, where someone asked <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/investing/comments/1ki92st/experienced_investors_imagine_if_you_were_25/">what people would do if they were 25 again</a>.
"What would you do differently?" The Redditor inquired.&nbsp;
The responses demonstrate how the fundamentals of stock investing continue to hold true. These are some of the insights from investors who said what they would do if they were 25 again.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Buy And Hold</h2>
The stock market has endured many rallies and corrections. Sharp volatility can cause panic and miss out on great opportunities. Many people regret exiting their positions at the wrong time instead of sticking with their stocks during slower cycles.&nbsp;
Even the people who mostly got it right still have some regrets or things that they wish they had done differently. One investor got an early start but still wished they had gotten into the market a little earlier.
"I invested [in Vanguard S&amp;P 500 ETF (NYSE Arca:VOO)] when I was 23 and still holding, and I wish I invested earlier."
Benchmarks like these have delivered solid long-term returns. They also don't require much maintenance since they follow an index, and a portfolio manager oversees the assets for you.&nbsp;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Focus On The First $100,000</h2>
While investing at a young age can give you a tremendous head start, you have to increase your investments and income to expand your portfolio.
One commenter explained the importance of reaching a $100,000 net worth and used a quote from Charlie Munger to demonstrate their point.
&nbsp;"Don&#8217;t worry about earning millions; instead, focus on the first $100,000 because, after that, your net worth will go crazy," Munger had previously said.
Net worth catapults after $100,000 because of the significance of a 10% gain. If you get a 10% gain on $1,000, you end up with $1,100. However, a 10% gain on $100,000 results in $110,000. Eventually, your portfolio will grow faster than the amount you can contribute to it each year.
Establishing good money habits like tracking your expenses and regularly investing will get you there faster. You can also pick up a side hustle to catapult your way to a $100,000 portfolio sooner.&nbsp;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Avoid Distractions</h2>
Younger investors are conditioned to take more risks. The logic is that younger investors can wait for the stock market to recover and don't have to worry as much about short-term dips.
However, that doesn't mean you should be a reckless investor and succumb to distracting financial instruments.&nbsp;
"Options, futures, commodities [are] fun distractions, but don&#8217;t spend your hard-earned money and hundreds of hours on them only to get maybe a few percent extra and sometimes even lose money on it."
Avoiding distractions doesn't only come down to derivatives. Keeping away from vices, people who drag you down, and bad thoughts can also aid you on your investing journey.&nbsp;

Experienced Reddit Investors Imagine If They Were 25 Again: 'What Would You Do Differently'

Graduating college is a major milestone — but this year, many students are stepping off the stage into an uncertain job market. In her recent <a href="https://www.suzeorman.com/blog/A-Warning-for-New-Grads">blog post</a>, financial expert Suze Orman points out that the current employment climate is being shaped by global economic shifts, including a tariff war and recession fears. As a result, some new grads are considering an immediate return to school instead of entering the workforce.
While that might seem like a smart move, Orman has a clear message: "Slow down."

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why Grad School Isn't Always the Best Next Step</h2>
Graduate school can feel like a safe haven when job prospects are slim. The logic is easy to follow: get another degree, increase your qualifications, and come out the other side ready for better-paying work.
But Orman urges graduates to stop and ask an important question: How will you pay for it?
She points out that federal <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/05/45306698/will-i-have-more-money-in-the-long-run-by-taking-out-student-loans-instead-of-paying-cash-suze-orman-weighs-in">student loan programs</a> allow graduate students to borrow significant amounts — up to $138,500 combined for undergraduate and graduate studies through the Direct Loan program. Additional funding is available through the Grad PLUS loan program, which allows borrowing up to the full cost of attendance.
Neither program checks whether you'll realistically be able to repay those loans, she warns. "That is crazy," Orman writes.
Trending: Hasbro, MGM, and Skechers trust this AI marketing firm — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/rad-intel">Invest before it's too late.</a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Borrowing Limits Can Create Long-Term Burdens</h2>
Too much debt early on can derail future plans. Orman recommends following college financing expert Mark Kantrowitz's rule: don't borrow more for school than you're likely to earn in your first year of work.
For example, if your chosen field typically pays $60,000 a year starting out, your total education debt — both undergrad and grad — should stay under that amount. Going far above it could lead to a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/01/43312785/gen-x-is-labeled-the-economys-struggling-middle-child-carrying-significant-financial-burdens-median-retirement-balance-is-only-10000">financial burden</a> that sticks around for decades. Worse, it may push you toward higher-paying jobs you're not passionate about, just to keep up with payments.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Parents Should Think Twice Before Pitching In</h2>
Orman also cautions parents and grandparents not to compromise their own financial stability to help pay for a child's graduate school. "Being able to support yourselves throughout your retirement must be your priority," she writes.
That means family members should resist the urge to co-sign loans or dip into retirement savings for grad school costs. Instead, they can support their loved ones by encouraging smarter financial decisions.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Better Path: Work First, Then Reassess</h2>
Orman doesn't rule out graduate school completely. But she believes it's worth waiting. Working for a few years can give new graduates a better understanding of what they want in a career — and allow time to save for future education.
Plus, gaining real-world experience can strengthen future grad school applications and lead to better scholarship or employer-sponsored education opportunities.
In Orman's view, the key is to avoid rushing into <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/04/44886630/grant-cardone-explains-how-the-2-7-trillion-debt-crisis-can-blow-up-the-economy-the-problem-is-s">more debt</a> before having a clear plan. The goal is to make grad school a financially smart choice, not just a convenient escape.

Suze Orman's Warning For New College Grads: Maybe Don't Go Straight Into Grad School Just Because You Don't Land A Job

Benzinga examined the prospects for <a href="http://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">many investors' favorite stocks</a> over the last week — here's a look at some of our top stories.
U.S. stocks extended their rally for a fifth consecutive day on Friday, buoyed by easing trade tensions and softer-than-expected April inflation data. The S&amp;P 500 returned to positive territory for the year, while the dollar rebounded amid rising Treasury yields. However, consumer sentiment slumped to 2020 levels, with one-year inflation expectations jumping to 7.3%, significantly above forecasts.
Despite the market's upward momentum, concerns about inflation persist. The University of Michigan's consumer sentiment index dropped to 50.8, reflecting heightened inflation fears. Gold prices fell 1.8% due to stronger yields and dollar strength, while Bitcoin recovered to over $104,500.
Looking ahead, investors are closely monitoring upcoming U.S.-China trade talks and potential adjustments to existing tariffs. The Federal Reserve's stance on interest rates remains a focal point, especially as real borrowing costs rise, tightening broader financial conditions. Additionally, corporate earnings reports and economic indicators will continue to influence market dynamics in the coming weeks.
Benzinga provides daily reports on the stocks most popular with investors. Here are a few of this past week's most bullish and bearish posts that are worth another look.

Benzinga Bulls And Bears: Virgin Galactic, Duolingo, Alibaba — And Stocks Close Up Five Days In A Row

Before NBA legend Shaquille O'Neal became a business powerhouse, he made one of his most meaningful financial decisions: buying his grandmother a house like he always said he would. The gesture reflects not just personal loyalty but the mindset that would later mold his disciplined and emotionally intelligent approach to wealth building.
What Happened: Speaking to actress Kerry Washington on The Big Podcast with Shaq, O'Neal said, "I always used to say, ‘Grandma, I'm going to buy you a house."
When he made it "big time," she had her sights set on a home just down the street from where they lived. "She was like, ‘I want that house right there,'" O'Neal recalled. He went to the homeowner directly and made an irresistible offer. "She's like, ‘I'm not really selling it but if I did sell it, I would sell it for 300.' [So] I said, ‘Well I'll give you 500 right now.'" The woman agreed, and O'Neal's grandmother moved into the new house after he renovated it for her.

Why It Matters: O'Neal's decision to buy his grandmother her dream home preempted the core principle that would drive his investment philosophy later in life. Influenced by Jeff Bezos' approach, his approach is to invest in businesses that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44068159/nba-legend-shaq-says-his-net-worth-quadrupled-once-he-took-note-from-jeff-bezos-and-started-investing-in-things-that-change-peoples-lives">positively impact people's lives</a>.
O'Neal applied this mindset across sectors and watched his net worth quadruple. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/04/45029760/take-investment-advice-from-shaq-his-fortune-grew-thanks-to-charles-barkley-and-donuts">His portfolio</a> includes Krispy Kreme, Five Guys, Big Chicken, 24 Hour Fitness, Carnival Cruise Lines, and Papa John's, where he serves on the board.
Currently, his net worth is approximately $500 million, which he says he <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/25/04/45027895/why-shaq-wont-share-his-500-million-fortune-with-his-kids-we-aint-rich-im-rich-im-not-going-to-hand-it-to-you-you-gotta-earn-it">won't share with his kids</a>. In order to instill them with values like hard work and entrepreneurship, he wants them to "earn it" themselves.

Here's a look at the Benzinga Stock Whisper Index for the week ending May 16:
 Realty Income Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/O#NYSE">O</a>): The real estate investment trust that pays out monthly dividends saw increased interest from readers during the week. Realty Income reported first-quarter financial results on May 5 and could be seeing interest after the report. The company <a href="https://www.realtyincome.com/investors/press-releases/realty-income-announces-operating-results-three-months-ended-march-31-2025">reported </a>adjusted funds from operations of $1.06, meeting a Wall Street consensus estimate. This came after two straight quarters of missing analyst estimates. The company reported quarterly sales of $1.38, which beat a Street estimate of $1.31 billion. This was the sixth straight quarter of beating analyst sales estimates. The company's CEO Sumit Roy highlighted the company's "high-quality tenant base," and predictable cash flows. The stock saw several analysts<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/O/analyst-ratings"> raise their price targets</a> after the report.
Realty Income stock was up slightly on the week, as shown on the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/register?utm_adType=bzprocontent&amp;utm_campaign=14daytrial&amp;utm_ad=0516">Benzinga Pro chart </a>below. Shares are up around 2% over the last year.

Philip Morris International (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PM#NYSE">PM</a>): The international tobacco company could be one of the stocks gaining interest from investors as a stock that could be highly insulated from the tariff impacts.

Benzinga's 'Stock Whisper' Index: 5 Stocks Investors Secretly Monitor But Don't Talk About Yet

Viral TikTok videos are using doctored clips from "Shark Tank" to falsely portray billionaire investor Mark Cuban endorsing products sold through TikTok Shop — and the billionaire is not amused.
What Happened: A new investigation by news rating group NewsGuard found that several TikTok accounts have spliced together footage from different "Shark Tank" episodes to make it appear as if Cuban endorsed products like Neuro Gum and BoomBoom nasal inhalers.
In one viral example, a video edited Cuban's $30 million offer to dating app Coffee Meets Bagel into a clip promoting Neuro Gum.
The manipulated video garnered over 9.6 million views, said the report.

Another TikTok falsely depicted Cuban endorsing BoomBoom in a conversation with Kevin Hart by replacing his real comment about Spikeball with the altered audio, &#8220;BoomBoom.&#8221;
"These faked videos, which racked up millions of views, purport to show investor Mark Cuban endorsing or investing in the products," NewsGuard reported.
Cuban told the outlet in response, "It's messed up. I spend too much time reporting this stuff to the [Federal Trade Commission]. I hope they get busted."
TikTok confirmed to the publication that it removed the flagged content for violating its policies, stating that it does not allow misleading use of public figures, including fake endorsements.

Why It&#8217;s Important: In a similar incident, back in 2022, Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) filed legal actions in Italy, Spain and the U.S. as part of a global <a href="https://benzinga.com/news/22/10/29356774/amazon-takes-legal-action-against-fake-review-brokers">crackdown on fake review brokers</a>, targeting over 11,000 websites and social media groups involved in posting fake reviews for money or free products.
Meanwhile, on Friday, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/25/05/45472538/mark-cuban-bids-farewell-to-shark-tank-how-to-watch-finale-and-whats-next-for-hit-show">Cuban bid farewell</a> to the hit reality investing show &#8220;Shark Tank&#8221; as Season 16 wraps up. The Shark currently has a net worth of $8.20 billion, ranking him 391st on Bloomberg's Billionaire <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/billionaires/">Index</a>.
Reports indicate that Cuban had invested over <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/11/35988212/mark-cuban-to-exit-shark-tank-reflects-on-his-worst-deal-and-surprise-success-shared-with-benzinga">$20 million across at least 85 companies</a> during his time on the show.

Mark Cuban Slams Viral TikTok Scammers For Faking Shark Tank Endorsements To Sell Products: 'It's Messed Up...I Hope They Get Busted'

The U.S. Department of Justice is reportedly considering a non-prosecution agreement that would allow Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) to avoid criminal <a href="https://benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44488310/boeing-faces-the-deadliest-corporate-crime-trial-as-judge-sets-june-date-in-737-max-fraud-case">charges tied to two fatal</a> 737 Max crashes, prompting outrage from victims' relatives.
What Happened: On Friday, prosecutors and attorneys representing families of the 346 people killed in the 2018 and 2019 crashes met to discuss resolving the case without bringing Boeing to trial, <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/5ebad172-5d02-4693-a1e7-189cc5d4a6c8">reported</a> the Financial Times, citing sources familiar with the matter.
Under the proposed deal, Boeing would pay roughly $444.5 million to victims' families in exchange for the DOJ declining to prosecute.
Boeing did not immediately respond to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga&#8217;s</a> request for comment. 
Erin Applebaum, a lawyer representing the families, decried the proposal. "This isn't justice. It's a backroom deal dressed up as a legal proceeding," she said. "While DoJ claims no final decision has been made, their scripted presentation made it clear that the outcome has already been decided."

A trial date of June 23 remains on the calendar, but Boeing has made plain it will not plead guilty. No final decision has been made, said one person close to the negotiations.
Why It's Important: Boeing agreed last July to plead guilty to a single count of fraudulently misleading regulators about the Max's flight-control software, but a federal judge rejected that plea deal over concerns about corporate monitorship provisions.
A non-prosecution agreement would mark the second time Boeing escaped full criminal liability in this matter, the report said. In 2021, the DOJ first deferred prosecution after Boeing paid $2.5 billion.
This latest development came after President Donald Trump unveiled a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44488310/boeing-faces-the-deadliest-corporate-crime-trial-as-judge-sets-june-date-in-737-max-fraud-case">$1.2 trillion economic agreement</a> with Qatar, featuring major deals in aviation, defense, energy and technology. A key highlight was Qatar Airways&#8217; record $96 billion order with Boeing and GE Aerospace.
China has also reportedly resumed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45368534/china-greenlights-boeing-jet-arrivals-again-as-90-day-tariff-pause-with-us-brings-relief">accepting Boeing aircraft deliveries</a> after a month-long pause as both Washington and Beijing work to ease tensions.
Price Action: Boeing shares slipped 0.20% during Friday's regular trading session, closing at $205.82, and fell another 1.72% after hours to $202.28. Despite the recent dip, the stock has climbed 11.28% over the past year, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>.
Boeing currently holds a 12.20% growth score on Benzinga's Edge Rankings. Curious how it stacks up against other aviation giants? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Click here for the full comparison</a>.

Boeing May Reportedly Once Again Dodge Prosecution Over 737 Max Crashes — Victims' Families Slam DOJ's Potential Agreement As 'Backroom Deal Dressed Up As A Legal Proceeding'

A new federal lawsuit alleged that Tesla Inc.CEO Elon Musk's America PAC failed to compensate voters in swing states who were promised $100 for signing and referring others to sign a political petition.
What Happened: Last week, three voters from key swing states filed a proposed national class action lawsuit against Musk and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44276820/elon-musk-reportedly-pledges-100-million-to-trump-linked-political-groups-amid-billion-dollar-losses-in-his-net-worth">his America PAC</a>, accusing them of breaching a promise to pay petition signers in the run-up to the 2024 presidential election, <a href="https://fortune.com/2025/05/16/elon-musk-america-pac-lawsuit-petition-signature-payments-2024-presidential-election/">reported</a> Fortune.
In October 2024, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41199734/elon-musk-founded-pac-offers-47-for-every-successful-referral-to-petition-show-support-for-free-spee">the PAC offered $47</a>—and later $100—to registered voters in seven states who signed a petition supporting the First and Second Amendments. Participants were also offered additional compensation for referring others.

"This case is about a broken promise," said attorney Shannon Liss-Riordan of Lichten &amp; Liss-Riordan, the firm representing the plaintiffs. "Our clients relied on that promise because they believed in Elon, but unfortunately, that promise was not kept."
The lawsuit, filed in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, claims that over 100 people may be owed a collective $5 million or more. One prior lawsuit by a Pennsylvania man alleged America PAC failed to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/04/44885879/elon-musks-100-per-signature-offer-sparks-5-million-lawsuit-canvasser-says-he-relied-on-these-payments-to-pay-his-bills-but-they-never-came">pay him $20,000 in referral bonuses</a>.
Why It's Important: America PAC, which reportedly raised over $200 million for Donald Trump's campaign, has previously denied wrongdoing, the report added.
Spokesperson Andrew Romeo in April <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2025/04/01/politics/elon-musk-lawsuit-2024-voter-mobilization-efforts?cid=ios_app">told</a> CNN, "America PAC is committed to paying for every legitimate petition signature… evidenced by the fact that we have paid tens of millions of dollars to canvassers for their hard work in support of our mission."
Tesla did not immediately respond to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga's</a> request for comments.

Elon Musk Sued For Allegedly Failing To Pay Swing State Voters $100 Each For Signing A Petition: 'This Case Is About A Broken Promise'

A new House Republican-backed provision in Donald Trump-backed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care/25/05/45345409/trumps-big-beautiful-bill-banks-on-huge-medicaid-cuts-as-its-cost-saving-centerpiece-see-who-risks-losing-coverage-under-the-gop-proposal">"big, beautiful" bill</a> reportedly aims to block state and local governments from regulating artificial intelligence for the next decade — and it's already sparking fierce backlash.
What Happened: Tucked into a sweeping GOP tax package, the clause states that "no state or political subdivision may enforce any law or regulation regulating artificial intelligence models, artificial intelligence systems, or automated decision systems," <a href="https://fortune.com/2025/05/16/trump-tax-bill-could-ai-regulation-states-republicans-gop-congress/">reported</a> Fortune.
Supporters argue it's about avoiding regulatory chaos. "AI doesn't understand state borders," said Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-Ohio). "You can't have a patchwork of 50 states."
Previously, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman also appeared to echo this sentiment. "One federal framework, that is light touch, that we can understand and that lets us move with the speed that this moment calls for seems important and fine," he said <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/05/45312650/sam-altman-tells-congress-us-must-pursue-sensible-regulation-avoid-silly-mistake-to-stay-ahead-of-china-in-ai-race-its-hard-to-say-how-far-ahead-we-are">during a Senate hearing last week</a>.

However, critics warn the bill would halt important local protections. California state Sen. Scott Wiener called the proposal "truly gross," writing on social media, "Congress is incapable of meaningful AI regulation… while also banning states from acting."
A bipartisan group of state attorneys general also voiced concern. "Instead of stepping up with real solutions, Congress wants to tie our hands," said South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson, a Republican, the report noted.
Why It's Important: On Friday, House Republicans failed to advance Trump&#8217;s massive tax and spending bill, revealing internal disagreements, <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cx2jxn8m88ro">reported</a> BBC.
Despite Trump's plea on social media for lawmakers to "stop talking and get it done," some Republicans opposed the bill, arguing it didn't go far enough in reducing government spending.
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) also previously slammed the budget reconciliation bill, calling it a "death sentence" for millions of Americans.

Donald Trump-Backed GOP Bill Seeks To Ban States From Regulating AI For 10 Years — Critics Calls It 'Federal Overreach' That Could Backfire

After enduring months of scrutiny over Tesla Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) falling stock price, Elon Musk has fired back <a href="https://benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44451467/tim-walz-backtracks-on-tesla-stock-jab-i-was-making-a-joke-after-kevin-olearys-criticism">at a political critic</a> with a jab of his own.
What Happened: On Friday, Tesla shares closed at $349.98, marking a 44.89% surge over the past month and pushing its market cap to $1.12 trillion.
Musk celebrated the rebound on X, formerly Twitter, posting a screenshot of Tesla's chart along with a pointed message to Governor Tim Walz (D-Minn.): "Yo Timmy, how's your day bro?"

The quip was a response to Walz's March 18 comment during a Wisconsin event, where he joked, "On the iPhone, they&#8217;ve got that little stock app. I added Tesla to it to give me a little boost during the day — $225 and dropping."
The audience laughed, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44549724/elon-musk-blasts-minnesota-governor-tim-walz-as-a-creep-over-tesla-stock-mockery-says-its-evil-to-celebrate-others-losses">but Musk didn't</a>. At the time, Musk called Walz a "huge j&#x2A;&#x2A;k" and "a creep," criticizing the governor for mocking investors and a U.S. company.
Walz also responded to the backlash, saying, "I was making a joke. These people have no sense of humor."
Why It's Important: Walz, who ran alongside former Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential race, has been a vocal critic of both Musk and the Donald Trump administration.
Musk emerged as a key figure in Trump's White House during the first 100 days, spearheading major federal budget cuts and layoffs that galvanized Republican support but also sparked public protests, some of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44963440/tesla-takedown-says-protests-are-working-hitting-ev-company-where-it-hurts-the-companys-bottom-line">which were directed at Tesla</a>.

Earlier, the Wall Street Journal reported that Tesla&#8217;s board had contacted executive search firms to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/45124373/tesla-board-explored-replacing-elon-musk-as-tesla-ceo-a-month-ago-report">find a replacement for Musk</a>. However, Tesla denied the claim, calling it false and reaffirming its confidence in Musk's leadership.
Price Action: Tesla shares rose 2.09% during Friday's regular session to close at $349.98, before dipping 2.81% after hours to $340.15. Over the past 12 months, the stock has surged 100.17%, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

Elon Musk Takes A Swipe At Minnesota Governor Tim Walz As TSLA Stock Surges 45% In One Month: 'How's Your Day, Bro?'

President Donald Trump has offered to travel to China to meet with President Xi Jinping.
What Happened: In an interview with Fox News aired on Friday, Trump was asked if he wanted to speak with Xi on a foreign trip. In response, he said, "I would certainly," adding that the relationship between the two countries is "important," <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-05-16/trump-says-he-s-willing-to-travel-to-china-for-xi-meeting">reported</a> Bloomberg.
Earlier this week, the President had also hinted that the two leaders could speak by phone following a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/05/45367206/sp-500-rallies-over-3-on-us-china-90-day-tariff-truce-but-experts-warn-it-doesnt-guarantee-a-complete-resolution-of-the-trade-war">90-day trade truce agreement</a>, which slashed U.S. tariffs on Chinese goods from 145% to 30%. China has also lowered its own duties on American imports to 10%.

Why It&#8217;s Important: Despite his latest outreach attempt, Trump made it clear that his trip to Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the UAE was aimed at <a href="http://benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/05/45476624/us-china-trade-truce-trumps-middle-east-deals-spark-wall-street-rally-this-week-in-markets">preventing those nations</a> from aligning with Beijing, the report noted.
"They were going to China, and that was going to be their parent, and that's not happening," Trump said, adding, "They're very important to keep in our fold."
During his trip to the Middle East, Trump was able to secure around <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/05/45476624/us-china-trade-truce-trumps-middle-east-deals-spark-wall-street-rally-this-week-in-markets">$2 trillion in trade and investment</a> commitments.
The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) ended the week up 2.16%, while semiconductor stocks continued their upward momentum, with the iShares Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NASDAQ">SOXX</a>) climbing 3.06% in the last five days, according to data from <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Trump Says He's Willing To Visit China To Meet Xi Jinping, Calls US-China Relationship 'Important' After Striking Temporary Trade Truce

Paying off debt and investing money are two strategies you can use to build wealth. While it makes sense to pay off high-interest debt right away, most people don't rush to pay off low-interest debt like mortgages.
One individual has been <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/MiddleClassFinance/comments/1khrky8/pay_off_my_car_loan_early_or_just_keep_cruising/">making regular auto loan payments</a> and has a $13,500 balance. This person is comfortable with the monthly payments but recently received a $6,000 windfall. On one hand, that extra money can cut the auto loan balance by almost half. However, those funds can also go into the stock market and earn a higher return.
"I'm genuinely torn," the individual admitted to the Middle Class Finance subreddit.
Fellow Redditors offered their suggestions on how to proceed with the situation.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Build An Emergency Fund</h2>
One commenter suggested building an emergency fund with the $6,000 if the original poster doesn't already have one. The advantage of an emergency fund is that you won't have to take out another loan if a surprise expense shows up.
The auto loan currently has a 6.8% APR, so its interest will accumulate faster than the emergency savings account. However, it can be more expensive to take out a personal loan if you need it in the future.&nbsp;
The commenter suggested that the original poster only needs a six-month emergency fund. If that condition has already been satisfied, it makes more sense to put the money toward the auto loan.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Factor In Taxes</h2>
Although moving the money into a high-yield savings account can give you a financial buffer during emergencies, not every commenter was on board with the idea.
"Considering it's 6.8%, 100% pay it off early," one commenter suggested.
However, when it comes to choosing between extra loan payments and a high-yield savings account, you have to consider the tax implications. As one commenter explains, a 4% APY on a high-yield savings account isn't as high as it sounds.
"You'll also be paying taxes on that 4% interest while the interest on your loan continues to accumulate at a higher rate," the commenter explained.
The Redditor will save more money if they pay off the loan than store the money in a high-yield savings account. If the Redditor has other ways to handle emergency expenses, paying the auto loan may be the better route.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Freedom Of No Monthly Payment</h2>
One commenter explained that they were in a similar situation and opted to pay off their auto loan with the windfall they received from a class action settlement. This commenter explained that the freedom from not having to worry about monthly payments anymore was worth it.
The original poster also mentioned freedom as a key factor. Paying off half of the loan will result in less interest and lower monthly payments.&nbsp;
While putting the money into a high-yield savings account can help in the event of an emergency, paying off the loan is a better approach. You can also invest the money in the stock market and potentially get a return that's higher than 6.8%. However, the stock market isn't a sure thing, while chipping away at the auto loan results in guaranteed savings.

A Redditor Asks If They Should Pay Off Half Their Auto Loan Or Invest The Money Instead: 'I'm Genuinely Torn'

When you hire a financial advisor, you're <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">handing over more than just money</a>. You're handing over trust, peace of mind—and the assumption that someone with a professional title won't tank your portfolio during a dip. But what happens when the person you pay to manage risk ends up locking in losses that wipe out last year's gains?
That's the question one investor raised on Bogleheads.org, a popular online forum where personal finance enthusiasts—many of them DIY investors—gather to dissect strategy, question fees, and lean into the gospel of low-cost, long-term investing. Think of it as a home base for index fund purists and fee hawks.

</ul>
In a <a href="https://www.bogleheads.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=452987">post under the site's Personal Investments section</a>, one user shared his dilemma: He's about 10 years from retirement, makes a strong income, and doesn't need to touch his retirement savings anytime soon. A few years ago, he hired a Registered Investment Advisor to manage about two-thirds of his savings, while he continued managing the other third himself.
The RIA had him in a 77% equity allocation that earned a solid 12% in 2024. So far, so good. But by early April, the advisor began emailing that if markets didn't correct, they'd sell out of everything and move to cash. And that's exactly what happened. Just days later, nearly all positions were liquidated and dumped into the Schwab Government Money Fund (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNVXX#NASDAQ">SNVXX</a>).&nbsp;
The investor logged into his portal and saw a negativer 3.6% return for the past 12 months. In less than 2.5 years, his net gain was now a slim 1.6%. "Meanwhile," he noted, with the one-third of his portfolio he manages solo, he was doing the opposite— <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/05/45337654/now-what-investor-with-100k-in-voo-wonders-whats-next-after-constantly-hearing-the-first-hurdle-is-the-hardest">buying Vanguard's S&amp;P 500 ETF</a> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VOO#NYSE">VOO</a>)&nbsp; at $540, $500, and $475 as the market slid. On the very day the advisor sold him out of equities, he was buying more.
Trending: Maker of the $60,000 foldable home has 3 factory buildings, 600+ houses built, and big plans to solve housing — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/boxabl-scaling-fast-from-spacex-orders-to-600-homes-built-this-60k-foldable-home-may-be-the-future-of-housing">this is your last chance to become an investor for $0.80 per share.</a>
He left readers with one simple question: "Based on these limited facts, who would you fire—him or me?"
The responses rolled in. One user didn't hold back: "I'd fire both—you and him." The criticism? Neither appeared to have an Investment Policy Statement, the document that usually outlines long-term strategy and helps avoid reactive decisions like market timing.
Another forum regular said it more bluntly: "The investor's biggest enemy is…the investor himself." Others piled on similar thoughts—calling out the lack of a unified strategy, the mixed messages of splitting management, and the advisor's sudden pivot to cash without a phone call.
Some highlighted red flags from the advisor side: the bold move to cash, the reliance on emails for major trades, and the potential tax consequences of exiting positions during a downturn. "It boggles me that an RIA would make big, bold moves like this," one commenter wrote. Another questioned whether this kind of decision was being made across other actively managed portfolios that week.
But not everyone thought the situation was disastrous. One user framed it as a potential turning point: "You made some mistakes. That's okay. It's not a huge hit to your portfolio. Learn from it." Others pointed out that the RIA gave notice—so why not step in and say no?
See Also: Invest where it hurts — and help millions heal:<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/a-cure-for-osteoarthritis-powered-by-everyday-investors-cytonics-is-looking-to-beat-big-pharma-and-disrupt-a-390-billion-market"> Invest in Cytonics and help disrupt a $390B Big Pharma stronghold</a>.
Still, the general tone was clear: when you're paying an advisor, it's reasonable to expect discipline, not reaction. And when your self-managed portfolio outperforms the professional one, it's fair to start asking questions.
So, what should investors take away from this?
While this isn't financial advice, it does raise a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45256709/approaching-retirement-suze-ormans-2025-plan-for-safe-high-earning-cash">few universal considerations</a>:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Have a plan—and write it down. An Investment Policy Statement helps remove emotion from investing. It should spell out risk tolerance, allocation, and when (if ever) to pivot.</li>
<li>Communication matters. If your advisor is selling everything and moving to cash via email, and you're surprised by it—you might have a bigger problem than market timing.</li>
<li>Split strategies can backfire. Letting an advisor manage part of your money while you run the rest can lead to conflict, confusion, and inconsistent outcomes.</li>
<li><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44610661/why-timing-the-market-is-a-terrible-idea">Market timing rarely wins</a>. Whether it's a dip or a full-blown correction, pulling out at the wrong time often means missing the rebound.</li>
<li>Fees still count. One poster estimated that, based on assets under management, the advisor might be taking around 1%—or $30,000 annually. If you're losing trust, that number looms larger. </li>
</ul>
At the end of the day, the real question might not be "Who should I fire?"—but "What's the long-term plan here?" Because whether you're investing in index funds, private startups, or your own side hustle, one thing's clear: guessing the market rarely beats a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/smartasset">steady hand and a solid plan</a>.
