On Tuesday, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) urged the Donald Trump administration to steer clear of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/06/45968020/us-stock-futures-tumble-after-trump-threatens-real-end-to-irans-nuclear-problem-avoid-getting-whipsawed-by-noise-says-expert">Israel's escalating conflict</a> with Iran, calling Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's latest actions a direct threat to U.S. diplomacy and international law.
What Happened: In a video message posted on social media, Sanders sharply criticized Netanyahu for launching what he described as a unilateral and illegal <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/events/25/06/45964856/trump-asks-everyone-to-immediately-evacuate-tehran-odds-of-us-striking-iran-spike-on-crypto-betting-platform">surprise attack on Iran</a> that killed hundreds and triggered retaliatory strikes.
The Israeli offensive, Sanders said, derailed ongoing U.S.-Iran nuclear negotiations and violated the United Nations Charter.
&#8220;Netanyahu launched an illegal and unilateral surprise attack on Iran… Israel&#8217;s attack clearly violated international law,&#8221; Sanders said. "It is absolutely imperative that the United States not be dragged into this war."
He accused Netanyahu of intentionally sabotaging a sixth round of diplomacy that was scheduled just days after Israel's strikes and of assassinating the Iranian official leading the nuclear talks.

Sanders also highlighted U.S. intelligence assessments, including testimony from Tulsi Gabbard, that Iran has not decided to build a nuclear weapon, although Trump has dismissed the assessment, stating that Iran was &#8220;very close&#8221; to developing a nuclear weapon, <a href="https://apnews.com/article/gabbard-trump-intelligence-iran-nuclear-program-51c8d85d536f8628870c110ac05bb518">reported</a> the Associated Press.
Instead of addressing the major crises, Sanders said, referring to climate change, inequality, future pandemics, the world is staring down another catastrophic war, triggered by Netanyahu's extremism.
He warned that any U.S. involvement would be unconstitutional without congressional authorization and would divert resources away from domestic priorities.
"We have Americans sleeping out on the streets… Enough is enough," he said, urging Trump to act as a "peacemaker" rather than escalate another Middle East war.

Why It's Important: The comments come amid reports that Trump is considering direct military action against Iran after he demanded "unconditional surrender" from Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/06/17/trump-iran-israel-khamenei.html">reported</a> CNBC, citing current and former administration officials.
Trump, who left the G7 summit early on Monday to return to Washington, has publicly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45940864/trump-threatens-iran-with-unprecedented-us-military-action-in-case-of-attack-if-we-are-attacked-in-any-way-us-armed-forces-will-come-down-on-you-at-levels-never-seen-before">threatened Tehran</a>. &#8220;We know exactly where the so-called ‘Supreme Leader' is hiding. He is an easy target, but is safe there &#8211; We are not going to take him out (kill!), at least not for now. But we don't want missiles shot at civilians, or American soldiers,&#8221; he posted on Truth Social.
Israel said that its extensive military campaign is essential to stop Iran from advancing further toward developing a nuclear weapon. The strikes have resulted in at least 224 fatalities in Iran. In response, Iran has fired around 400 missiles and deployed hundreds of drones toward Israel, leading to the deaths of 24 people so far, <a href="https://apnews.com/article/israel-iran-missile-attacks-nuclear-news-tehran-trump-06-17-2025-3f08988b5e8fd375645967b6e22916f3">according</a> to another AP report.  Photo Courtesy: Rich Koele on Shutterstock.com

What Happened: Bitcoin steadily declined throughout the day, falling to an intraday low of $103,396.53 by afternoon.
Ethereum also gave up gains from Monday's comeback rally, tumbling below $2,500 before paring losses overnight.
Investors remained on edge amid concerns of U.S. involvement in the ongoing Iran-Israel war. In a series of Truth Social <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump">posts</a>, Trump said that "we have complete and total control" over Iran&#8217;s skies and demanded an &#8220;unconditional surrender.&#8221;&nbsp;
Over $330 million was liquidated from the cryptocurrency market in the last 24 hours, with nearly $268 million in bullish long bets wiped out. That said, about $650 million in Bitcoin shorts risked liquidation if the apex cryptocurrency rebounded to $107,000.&nbsp;
Bitcoin&#8217;s Open Interest fell 1.97% in the last 24 hours. Interestingly, more than 55% of Binance&#8217;s top traders with open BTC positions were positioned long, according to the long/short ratio.
The market sentiment flipped from "Greed" to "Neutral," according to the Crypto Fear &amp; Greed Index.
Meanwhile, in a positive development, the Senate approved a landmark bill establishing the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/06/45972264/senate-advances-stablecoin-bill-a-defining-moment-for-crypto-market-regulation">country&#8217;s first regulatory framework for stablecoins</a>.

Analyst Notes: Well-known cryptocurrency commentator Michaël van de Poppe noticed that Bitcoin swept some liquidity but bounced back soon after.
"Doesn&#8217;t say that we&#8217;ve bottomed, but it&#8217;s a great sign to be accumulating those corrections before the next BIG leg upwards happens," Van de Poppe added. "Reclaim of $106,000 is where the party happens."

Another widely followed cryptocurrency analyst and trader, DevKhabib, stated that Ethereum's rejection will take it below the key support level at $2,380 and test the $2,200 levels.
"As long as we don&#8217;t close any weekly candles below the 5-year trendline(red diagonal line), we should be good," the analyst predicted.

Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin Dip As Investors Jittery Over US Involvement In Iran-Israel Conflict : Analyst Says BTC's Reclaim Of $106,000 Is 'Where The Party Happens'

Cathie Wood-led Ark Invest made significant trades on Tuesday, focusing on Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>), Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>), and Circle Internet Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRCL#NYSE">CRCL</a>). These trades reflect Ark&#8217;s strategic positioning in the tech sector amidst market fluctuations.
The AMD Trade: On Tuesday, Ark Invest&#8217;s ARK Next Generation Internet ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKW#BATS">ARKW</a>) fund acquired 37,377 shares of Advanced Micro Devices. This purchase aligns with AMD&#8217;s recent market momentum, driven by speculation of a potential &#8220;GPU win&#8221; with Amazon Web Services and a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/45978843/amd-stock-is-up-10-this-week-whats-going-on">positive rating</a> from Piper Sandler. The analyst, Harsh Kumar, maintained an &#8220;Overweight&#8221; rating and increased AMD&#8217;s price target to $140, citing the company&#8217;s product launches and expected growth in AI. The shares closed at $128.10, making the trade worth approximately $4.75 million. 
The TSMC Trade: The ARK Innovation ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKK#BATS">ARKK</a>) fund purchased 36,913 shares of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing on the same day. TSM shares closed at $213.90 on Tuesday. The Ark transaction was valued at $7.9 million.
TSM is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45953943/taiwan-semiconductor-eyes-rollout-of-2nm-advanced-tech-chips-this-year">advancing its 2-nanometer technology</a>, aiming for commercialization in the latter half of 2025. This move is part of TSM&#8217;s strategy to maintain its competitive edge over rivals like Samsung Electronics. The acquisition reflects Ark&#8217;s confidence in TSM&#8217;s technological advancements and market potential. 
The Circle Internet Trade: Ark Invest&#8217;s funds, including Ark Fintech Innovation ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKF#BATS">ARKF</a>), ARKK, and ARKW, collectively sold a substantial number of shares in Circle Internet, totaling 300,108 shares. On Tuesday, Circle Internet shares ended the day at $149.15, making the Ark Transaction on the day worth $44.8 million.
Circle, known for issuing the USDC stablecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">USDC</a>), has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/45955267/circle-internet-group-crcl-stock-hits-new-highs-whats-going-on">seen its stock soar</a> since its IPO on June 5, 2025. The stock&#8217;s initial pricing at $31 surged to $83.23 on its first trading day, continuing to attract investor interest. This sale could indicate a strategic reallocation of Ark&#8217;s investment portfolio. Notably, on Monday, Wood had <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/broad-u-s-equity-etfs/25/06/45964983/cathie-woods-monday-shuffle-buys-nvidia-sells-meta-ark-also-dumps-hot-circle-stock">sold $43.6 million</a> worth of Circle shares.

Cathie Wood Splashes $12.7 Million On Chip Giants AMD And Taiwan Semiconductors, Ark Dumps Another $45 Million Worth Of Hot Circle Stock

Caris Life Sciences, an AI-driven precision oncology company, is targeting a $5.35 billion valuation in its U.S. initial public offering, aiming to raise up to $423.5 million.&nbsp;
The Irving, Texas-based firm, backed by investment giants Sixth Street and Neuberger Berman, has already conducted 6.5 million molecular tests across 849,000 patient cases, establishing partnerships with over 100 biopharmaceutical firms, including Moderna Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRNA#NASDAQ">MRNA</a>) and AbbVie (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ABBV#NYSE">ABBV</a>), according to its <a href="https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/2019410/000110465925057593/tm2415719-16_s1a.htm">prospectus</a> filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Valuation Context and Financial Performance</h2>
The $5.35 billion target—based on 23.5 million shares priced between $16 and $18 each—marks a notable shift from Caris' 2021 private valuation of $7.83 billion, Reuters reported, reflecting both market recalibration and the challenges of commercializing precision medicine.&nbsp;
According to its filing, Caris generated $412.3 million in revenue in 2024—a 35% year-over-year increase—while posting a net loss of $257.1 million. In Q1 2025, the company reported $120.9 million in revenue and a narrowed net loss of $127 million, compared to $80.7 million in revenue and a $134.1 million loss during the same period in 2024, according to its filing—signaling improving margins and sustained top-line growth.
At its proposed valuation, Caris would trade at approximately 13 times sales, a premium to peers like Guardant Health (NASDAQ: GH) and Tempus AI (NASDAQ: TEM), Reuters reported.&nbsp;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Technology and Competitive Edge</h2>
According to the company's website, Caris was founded in 2008 by entrepreneur David D. Halbert, who was inspired by his father's cancer battle to develop more effective, data-driven diagnostics. Today, the company operates from its North Texas headquarters and has offices in Phoenix, New York, Cambridge, Massachusetts, Tokyo, Japan, and Basel, Switzerland, serving both U.S. and international markets.
Caris' proprietary AI platform, which integrates molecular science with machine learning, analyzes comprehensive genomic, transcriptomic, and proteomic data to guide cancer treatment. The company holds 27 issued patents along with over 170 applications pending worldwide, according to its website. Its flagship MI Cancer Seek test, cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 2023, detects early-stage malignancies with what the company claims is unmatched accuracy, the <a href="https://www.carislifesciences.com/about/news-and-media/caris-life-sciences-receives-fda-approval-for-mi-cancer-seek/#:~:text=MI%20Cancer%20Seek%20is%20available,Halbert%2C%20DSc%20(h.c.).">company</a> said at the time.&nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Investor Sentiment and Sector Implications</h2>
Caris will trade on the Nasdaq under the symbol CAI The offering is led by BofA Securities, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Goldman Sachs &amp; Co. LLC, and Citigroup Global Markets. <a href="https://www.grandviewresearch.com/industry-analysis/artificial-intelligence-diagnostics-market">Grand View Research</a> projects a 22.5% CAGR in the AI cancer diagnostics market through 2030, highlighting strong growth potential in this sector.

Neuberger Berman has indicated it may purchase up to $75 million worth of shares in the IPO—signaling insider confidence in the company's long-term potential, according to Reuters.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Regulatory and Market Risks</h2>
Caris Life Sciences currently has one FDA-cleared diagnostic test, MI Cancer Seek, according to its filing.&nbsp;
Caris' pipeline includes investigational tools like FOLFIRSTai, an AI-based test for predicting chemotherapy response in metastatic colorectal cancer. While clinically validated, it remains unapproved by the FDA, according to the SEC filing, and stricter regulations could delay its commercialization.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Conclusion: A Litmus Test for AI Biotech</h2>
Caris's proposed IPO is drawing attention as a potential marker for the viability of AI-driven healthcare, with Reuters noting the offering comes amid renewed interest in precision diagnostics.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Debt With No Memory of Payment</h2>
According to the <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/SocialSecurity/comments/1l4aybw/overpayment_notice/">Reddit post</a>, neither she nor her husband has collected any type of Social Security benefit — including Supplemental Security Income or disability payments — and they did not receive a refund in 2024.&nbsp;
"Why are they indicating I owe them money for benefits overpaid?" she asked in the post.
Some commenters speculated that the debt might stem from benefits paid out during her childhood — possibly due to a disability or on behalf of a parent's record. The original poster mentioned having a congenital defect as a child and being on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/06/45762246/medicaid-cuts-are-heroic-speaker-mike-johnson-says-4-8-million-wont-lose-healthcare-unless-they-choo">Medicaid</a>, but wasn't aware of any Social Security payments having been made.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Childhood Benefits Can Come Back Years Later</h2>
The SSA defines an overpayment as money paid in excess of what someone is entitled to. What many don't realize is that this debt can remain on a person's record — even if they weren't the one managing the money.
In some cases, children receive benefits through a parent's Social Security record or due to a disability. If payments were made in error — for instance, if the child moved into foster care but benefits continued to go to the original caregiver — the SSA may later attempt to recoup that money from the child, even decades later.
<a href="https://kidsvoice.org/foster-children-and-social-security-overpayments/">KidsVoice</a>, an advocacy organization for children in foster care, has documented numerous situations where this occurs. In many cases, the child never received or benefited from the funds. Still, the government considers the overpayment a valid debt.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What You Can Do if You Receive a Notice</h2>
Receiving an overpayment notice doesn&#8217;t always mean you&#8217;re stuck with the bill. The SSA allows individuals to file a waiver of overpayment, especially if they weren't at fault and repaying would cause financial hardship.
For those like the Reddit poster — unaware of receiving any benefits — the waiver could be a viable option. Filing a waiver involves submitting a form and, in some cases, providing documentation to prove lack of fault and inability to repay.

If the waiver is denied, the SSA may attempt to collect the debt by withholding future benefits, garnishing wages, or intercepting tax refunds. The agency is required to provide notice, but advocates warn that former foster youth and others may miss that communication if it's sent to a prior guardian or outdated address.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Final Thoughts</h2>
This situation highlights a lesser-known issue with the Social Security system: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/05/45335763/you-could-still-lose-half-your-benefits-social-security-reduces-overpayment-withholding-rate-experts-warn-of-fallout">overpayments</a> made years earlier can surface unexpectedly in adulthood. While each case is unique, individuals facing a similar surprise should review the SSA's overpayment rules and consider filing a waiver if they believe the debt is unfair or unmanageable.

Here's How Much You Would Have Made Owning Walmart Stock In The Last 10 Years

Toy company Hasbro Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HAS#NASDAQ">HAS</a>) announced a workforce reduction on Tuesday as the company grapples <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/04/44610504/tariff-risk-increases-analyst-warns-of-additional-impact-on-hasbro-funko-mattel-elf-beauty-not-reflected-in-estimates">with tariff impacts</a>.
What To Know: Hasbro cut 3% of its global workforce, or approximately 150 employees, across multiple divisions and regions around the globe, The Wall Street Journal <a href="https://www.wsj.com/business/retail/hasbro-trims-3-of-workforce-in-cost-cutting-push-2ac88b24?gaa_at=eafs&amp;gaa_n=ASWzDAig_M9vSK8jZdYBHTVKpZz1jUQoLKh14hsnn7r0_lueBpaqGK8sni8AIT03LW0%3D&amp;gaa_ts=6851e034&amp;gaa_sig=xIReA5JEeIJ9fqGjR_x9xAqeFRHCUgqiw86eANx1IBhhRySdHe8VRCj-x93pl2-DoiZBJqVtli0wjW6JYPKlsw%3D%3D">reported</a> Tuesday.
The job cuts come as the company aims to align its structure with its longer-term goals, according to a Hasbro spokesperson.
Hasbro laid off around 1,900 employees in 2023. The continued cuts are part of a longer-term restructuring in which the company is targeting around $1 billion in total cost reductions.
The company reported no material impact from tariffs in the first quarter, but Hasbro CEO Chris Cocks said in April that tariffs ultimately translate to higher prices for consumers and potential job losses.
&#8220;As we progress toward our&nbsp;$1 billion&nbsp;cost savings goal, the strength of Wizards, licensing, and our asset-light model continues to offset tariff pressures and support margins,&#8221; the company said when it reported first-quarter results.
Hasbro sources about half of its toy and game products from China. Total sales were up 17% year-over-year in the first quarter.
HAS Price Action: <a href="http://benzinga.com/quote/HAS">Hasbro shares</a> closed Tuesday down 3.25% at $67.50, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Here's How Much $1000 Invested In Chemed 10 Years Ago Would Be Worth Today

As inflation continues to pinch household budgets, many Americans are putting summer vacations on hold. But personal finance expert <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/management/25/06/45818495/suze-orman-says-retiring-early-is-the-biggest-financial-mistake-youll-ever-make-you-might-need-10-millionjust-so-youll-be-fine">Suze Orman</a> is urging people to take a different approach — one that prioritizes rest and rejuvenation, even if traditional travel isn't in the cards.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Fewer Americans Are Traveling — And Cost Is the Top Reason</h2>
According to a <a href="https://www.bankrate.com/credit-cards/news/survey-summer-vacation/">Bankrate survey</a>, just 46% of Americans plan to travel this summer, down from previous years. Among those who aren't traveling, the vast majority — 65% — say they simply can't afford it. The rising cost of everyday expenses like groceries, gas, and housing is taking precedence over optional spending, like vacations.

</ul>
Another 24% of Americans say they don't plan to take a vacation at all this summer — not even a staycation. And nearly 1 in 4 survey respondents said they were still undecided, a noticeable increase from last year.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Orman: Skip the Travel, But Not the Time Off</h2>
Orman recognizes the financial reality many families are facing. "I applaud you for not booking a getaway if you are worried about the financial cost," she writes in a recent <a href="https://www.suzeorman.com/blog/Dont-Skip-Summer-Fun-This-Year">blog post</a>. But she also warns against skipping vacation altogether. "It's important to relax and recharge a bit," she adds, noting that failing to take time off can lead to long-term burnout.
Americans are known for underutilizing their paid time off. Orman points to research showing that about half of U.S. workers don't use all their vacation days — a missed opportunity, she says, for much-needed rest and family connection.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Staycations Can Offer the Best of Both Worlds</h2>
You don't need to board a plane or book a hotel to enjoy a break. Orman encourages Americans to rethink what vacation looks like and consider a staycation instead. "I was surprised to see in the same survey that just 10% of respondents are planning time off that they will spend at home," she notes.
A staycation, she says, can be just as fulfilling as a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/management/25/06/45839291/travelers-plan-to-spend-4600-on-vacations-this-summer-up-16-from-2024">traditional vacation</a> — especially if it's thoughtfully planned. She recommends unplugging from work, indulging in small luxuries, tackling a fun home project, or exploring nearby attractions you've never visited.
Even assigning each family member a day to plan can turn a week off into a shared adventure. "The one non-negotiable," Orman writes, "is that everyone has to buy into the person's vision for that day."

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">You Deserve a Break — Even on a Budget</h2>
Skipping a pricey vacation doesn't mean skipping self-care. "Making the decision not to overspend on a vacation right now is such a strong stand-in-your-truth act of financial responsibility," Orman says. But she's equally adamant that "you deserve to take time off and enjoy yourself."
Whether you spend your summer break in your backyard or exploring a nearby park, the point is to step away from the daily grind.&nbsp;
Orman's primary message to Americans this summer? Don't let <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/04/45111417/more-than-70-of-americans-concerned-about-a-recession-this-year-heres-how-suze-orman-says-to-prepare">financial concerns</a> stop you from giving yourself the rest you've earned.

$1000 Invested In This Stock 15 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

In Reddit's r/povertyfinance, where people swap advice on $5 Walmart meals and how to stretch a tank of gas, <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/povertyfinance/s/sqNFYmbWzT">one brutally honest confession</a> struck a nerve—and then some.
Another user shared the screenshot with the caption, "How many of us would say this is our future?"
The post read:
"Confession time: I'm almost 49 and I have zero retirement savings. No exaggeration. Absolutely nothing. Maybe about $900 in my checking account. No idea WTF I'm going to do. And I know I can't be the only one."

Thousands piled into the comments—and not just to say "same." Some offered solidarity. Others dropped math. Many just tried to make peace with where they are.
"I just <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/02/43821356/take-a-450000-pension-in-a-lump-sum-or-3000-monthly-payments-suze-ormans-advice-to-anxious-soon-to-be-retiree">started saving for a pension</a> and I'm 33, literally because I finally managed to land a decent job," one user wrote. "That being said I can only afford to put $40 in a pay, which is abysmal."
Another chimed in: "Hey! Me too! Same age and everything!"
A few tried to keep the mood up: "$40 is $40 more than you were putting away."
"It adds up. Compound interest is real."
But not everyone was convinced that $40 and hope were enough.
"She's only got about 34 working years left which at the current rate she'll be able to invest $16,320," one commenter calculated. "At best you can expect to double your money every 10 years… That initial investment will be worth less than $50k in today's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/smartasset">dollars by retirement age</a>."

Still, the thread had sparks of optimism. One person said their husband started contributing just six or seven years ago and has already accumulated $30,000 with employer matching. Another reached $20,000 in two years.
Even in the poverty finance subreddit, not everyone is giving up.
"Late 30s here. I got a decent job 8 years ago and it took me the majority of that to work out of debt. I'm saving as of the last few years, but I also had to move home. Rough time."
"This is happening to me now," another added. "I cried for like 5 days when I moved back home."
But here's the real question: Is it <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/08/40295808/youre-40-50-or-60-do-you-know-how-much-you-should-have-saved-for-retirement-by-now">too late to start saving</a> at 49? Not ideal, no—but hopeless? Definitely not.

Let's say that same 49-year-old starts contributing $500 a month right now. If they invest in a basic index fund with a 7% annual return, they'd have over $175,000 by age 65. Bump that to $1,000 a month and they're looking at more than $350,000—still shy of millionaire status, but enough to completely change their future.
The key? Starting now. Not perfect, not flashy—just consistent.
No, most <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/management/25/06/45825806/is-your-retirement-nest-egg-above-average-heres-what-people-have-in-their-401k-and-ira-at-each-age">people aren't maxing out 401(k)s</a> at 25. Many are just now landing stable jobs in their 30s and 40s. Some are contributing $40 a paycheck. Some are sitting on $900 and wondering what's next.
But they're all still in the game. And that's what matters.

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

Estée Lauder Companies, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EL#NYSE">EL</a>) stock has climbed steadily over the past three months and jumped more than 10% on Monday following the death of<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/entertainment/25/06/45943408/leonard-lauder-visionary-behind-estee-lauders-global-expansion-and-creator-of-clinique-aramis-dies-at-92"> Leonard Lauder,</a><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/entertainment/25/06/45943408/leonard-lauder-visionary-behind-estee-lauders-global-expansion-and-creator-of-clinique-aramis-dies-at-92"> a longtime executive and son of founder Estée Lauder.&nbsp;</a>
Estée Lauder is Michael Burry's only current long position. Here's what to know: 
The Details: According to its most recent SEC filing, Burry&#8217;s hedge fund Scion Asset Management <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/25/05/45499101/big-short-legend-michael-burry-bets-big-on-lipstick-index-is-he-bracing-for-a-recession">doubled its stake</a> in Estée Lauder in the first quarter of 2025.&nbsp;

During the first quarter, the investment firm purchased an additional 100,000 shares in the world's second-largest cosmetics company, bringing its total holdings to 200,000 shares.&nbsp;
Estée Lauder: Leonard Lauder, the influential executive who guided Estée Lauder from a single-brand operation to a global leader in the beauty industry, passed away last Saturday at the age of 92.
Shares of Estée Lauder stock jumped 10% in Monday's session following the death of Lauder. 
While it is unlikely that Burry foresaw a stock jump correlated to the death of a company executive, he did double his stake in the company and held it as his firm's only long position.&nbsp;
Burry&#8217;s move could reflect a strategic bet on a recession and the so-called "Lipstick Index," which suggests consumers turn to more affordable luxuries like cosmetics<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45484735/michael-burry-makes-major-portfolio-shift-holding-only-one-asset-he-deems-recession-proof"> during economic downturns.</a>
&#8220;In the 2008 recession, cosmetics sales increased, showing that even in tough times, individuals crave tiny comfort purchases that give psychological boosts without a hefty financial outlay,&#8221; Kevin Shahnazari, founder of FinlyWealth, told LevelFields.
EL Price Action: Estée Lauder shares ended Tuesday's session&nbsp;up 0.27% at $74.79, according to data from <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw">Benzinga Pro</a>.&nbsp;

$1000 Invested In AMETEK 15 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

Several professional athletes have announced taking salary or endorsement money in Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) in recent years, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/21/07/21984141/nfls-saquon-barkley-to-take-100-of-endorsement-money-in-bitcoin">including NFL superstar</a> Saquon Barkley.
Here's a look back at his decision and how much investors could have made following the NFL star running back.
What Happened: Barkley, who won a Super Bowl with<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports-betting/24/03/37635003/super-bowl-betting-shakeup-how-top-nfl-signings-are-reshaping-the-odds"> the Philadelphia Eagles </a>last season, made a surprising announcement on July 14, 2021, when he announced he would take 100% of his endorsement money in Bitcoin.
The endorsement money was converted to Bitcoin via Strike, a Bitcoin payments company.
"You see inflation. You see how high it is right now," Barkley said at the time.
After missing time the previous season with an injury, Barkley discussed the dilemmas of having enough money in case his career was cut short.
"I'm gonna be taking my marketing money in Bitcoin," Barkley&nbsp;<a href="https://x.com/APompliano/status/1415354090645827590" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">announced&nbsp;</a>on "The Best Business Show With Anthony Pompliano."
When he entered the NFL, Barkley said his&nbsp;plan was to live off his marketing money and save his salary.
"This is the smart thing to do, the right thing to do."
Strike CEO Jack Mallers joined the show and said he was proud of Barkley for taking the step to preserve his wealth for himself and his family.
"His cash is going to be worth half as less in five years," Mallers said, citing inflation.
Mallers pointed out that the average NFL career is 3 1/2 years, providing financial uncertainties for athletes.
Barkley receives over $10 million in endorsements annually, <a href="https://twitter.com/JoePompliano/status/1415346064807366658" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">according </a>to Joe Pompliano, who was featured on the show.
Fast forward to 2025 and Barkley is proud of his decision and being able to silence the people who thought he was making a dumb decision.
"People are always gonna have something to say," Barkley <a href="https://x.com/coinbase/status/1933324509177577724">said </a>at the recent Coinbase State of Crypto Summit.
Barkley said the decision was made at the right time after talking with his manager, Mallers and Pompliano. Barkley also recalls that he had a phone call with Strategy Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) Executive Chairman Michael Saylor at the time.
"Back then, he told me I should take all my money and put it in, I think he's doing pretty well."
Barkley joked that maybe he should've listened to Saylor.
When it comes to finances and investment decisions, Barkley said he never wants to be the smartest person in the world.
"Surround yourself with super smart people."

Investing $1,000 in Bitcoin: Today, Barkley is one of the most followed and talked about NFL stars, topping the league in 2024 for regular season rushes and rushing yards and setting career highs for the NFL star.
Investors who were fans of Barkley may have decided to invest in Bitcoin based on the comments made by the NFL star at the time.
A $1,000 investment in Bitcoin at the daily high on July 14, 2021, could have purchased 0.0302 BTC. Today, that $1,000 investment would be worth $3,155.50, up 215.6%.
Compare that to a $1,000 investment in the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>), which tracks the S&amp;P 500 and broader U.S. stock market. The same $1,000 invested in the SPY would be worth $1,362.37 today, up 36.2%.
Barkley's investment of his endorsement money in Bitcoin has significantly outperformed the S&amp;P 500.
What's Next: Barkley enters the 2025 NFL season with the Eagles, hoping to win a second straight Super Bowl.
The Eagles are the favorites to win Super Bowl LX with odds of +650 at the DraftKings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DKNG#NASDAQ">DKNG</a>) sportsbook. Barkley is the favorite to win the Offensive Player of the Year award in the 2025 NFL season with odds of +650, which would be a second straight win for the Eagles RB.
Barkley will be hoping to escape the "Madden curse," which is often used to describe down years or injuries that happen to players who appear on the <a href="https://www.nfl.com/news/eagles-rb-saquon-barkley-s-reverse-hurdle-graces-cover-of-madden-nfl-26">cover </a>of the Madden video game.
The Eagles star is the cover athlete for the Madden NFL 26 cover from Electronic Arts Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EA#NASDAQ">EA</a>). Barkley is on the cover doing his reverse hurdle move that he pulled off during a 2024 NFL season game and is also one of the few players to have a perfect 99 score in the game.
Barkley was recently named the number one player by sales for the 2024 season by the <a href="https://nflpa.com/partners/posts/things-to-know-about-the-2024-year-end-nflpa-top-50-player-sales-list#:~:text=Saquon%20Barkley%20claimed%20the%20retail,2017%20to%20finish%20No.%201.">NFLPA</a>, becoming the first running back to top the list since 2017. Barkley enters the 2025 season with high expectations and as one of the top players for fans.
