In a landmark move, California&#8217;s lawmakers have exempted most urban housing&nbsp;development from the California Environmental&nbsp;Quality Act (CEQA), potentially transforming the landscape of housing development in the state.
A long-standing political struggle between housing developers and advocates of California&#8217;s primary environmental law has likely reached a resolution with the approval&nbsp;of a state budget-related housing&nbsp;bill. 
This new legislation makes CEQA inapplicable to a significant portion&nbsp;of urban residential development in&nbsp;the state.
According to reports, the implications of this development are far-reaching. Most&nbsp;new apartment buildings will no&nbsp;longer face threats of environmental litigation. Urban developers will no longer need to assess, predict, and mitigate potential impacts of new housing on&nbsp;local traffic, air pollution, flora&nbsp;and fauna, noise levels, groundwater&nbsp;quality, and objects of historical or archaeological significance.
Assemblymember Buffy Wicks, an Oakland Democrat who introduced the CEQA law as a separate bill in March, said to Cal Matters, &#8220;Saying &#8216;no&#8217; to housing in my community will no longer be state sanctioned.&#8221;
She added that while this won&#8217;t solve all housing issues in the state, it will eliminate the most substantial hurdle to building environmentally friendly housing.

The new law states that urban &#8220;infill&#8221; housing developments — housing constructed&nbsp;in and around existing development&nbsp;— are no longer subject&nbsp;to CEQA. There are a few exceptions and qualifiers, but they are considered relatively minor by development advocates.
The bill applies&nbsp;to projects under 20 acres,&nbsp;mainly affecting large&nbsp;multi-block-spanning mega developments. A certain&nbsp;level of density is required,&nbsp;effectively excluding&nbsp;the policy for single-family home&nbsp;construction. 
Before any project can&nbsp;proceed, affiliated tribal governments must be notified,&nbsp;but the consultation is put&nbsp;on a short timeline. To&nbsp;qualify for the exemption, a&nbsp;proposed project must also comply with local zoning regulations.
Gov. Gavin Newsom (D), who spent much of last week persuading the Legislature to pass the bill as part of his budget package, signed it last week. The key question now is whether this significant political and policy shift will result in more homes being built in California&#8217;s cities.

California Urban Housing Development Exempted From CEQA: A Game Changer?

It's no secret that investing can be stressful, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45185944/warren-buffett-shares-surprising-advice-for-young-investors-and-its-not-about-stocks-who-you-associate-with-is-just-enormously-important">but for younger investors</a>, that pressure may be building faster than expected. Despite having more time to weather market cycles, many investors under 35 report feeling financially insecure, dissatisfied and uncertain about their financial future.
A recent <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/survey-shows-stress-compounds-among-young-investors-4685903">survey</a> conducted by Janus Henderson, the Financial Planning Association, and Investopedia set out to measure stress levels among both investors and financial advisors. The results showed clear generational differences. Investors under 35 were far more likely to say they're struggling to get ahead financially. Many reported earning just enough—or not enough—to cover basic expenses, which leaves little room for saving or investing.
Major factors <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/student-debt">like student debt</a>, flat wage growth and economic aftershocks from the 2008 financial crisis seem to be contributing the most. While unemployment has declined in recent years, wages for younger workers haven't kept pace. Inflation-adjusted starting salaries for college grads still lag behind pre-crisis levels, and that gap may be shaping how younger investors think about their finances.
The stress isn't limited to money. Many younger respondents said financial pressure spills into their day-to-day lives, affecting their mood, focus and ability to make decisions. Research suggests that long-term stress can actually impair the brain's ability to weigh risk or adapt to changing circumstances, which could influence financial behavior over time.
Still, the survey offered one encouraging takeaway. Investors of all ages who had a written financial plan and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/what-is-financial-planning">set long-term goals</a> reported lower levels of stress overall. While a plan may not solve every issue, it appears to offer some reassurance, especially for those in the earlier <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/asset-allocation-by-age">stages of building wealth</a>.
As economic trends continue to shift, tools that promote planning and clarity may become even more important for younger investors looking to feel more secure.

What's Driving Anxiety For Investors Under 35

Billionaire investor&nbsp;Warren Buffett&nbsp;has shifted his investment strategy, investing $459 million in Sirius XM (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SIRI#NASDAQ">SIRI</a>) after selling his stakes in&nbsp;Bank of America (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>), JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>), and Wells Fargo (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WFC#NYSE">WFC</a>).
What Happened: Buffett&#8217;s investment firm,&nbsp;Berkshire Hathaway, acquired approximately&nbsp;20 million shares of Sirius&nbsp;XM between Q3 2024 and Q1 2025. 
This investment, calculated based on an average share price of $22.95, boosts Berkshire&#8217;s total holdings in Sirius to nearly 120 million shares, valued at approximately $2.9 billion.
According to Hathaway's latest Form 13F <a href="https://www.sec.gov/edgar/browse/?CIK=0001067983">filings</a>, the purchase represents an effort to capitalize on a dip in Sirius XM&#8217;s stock, which has plummeted&nbsp;about 45% from its 52-week&nbsp;high of $41.60 to $24.29. 
Despite recent financial challenges, including a 4% revenue drop in Q1 2025 and ongoing subscriber losses in Q2, Sirius XM&#8217;s&nbsp;strong brand and recurring revenue&nbsp;model likely offer long-term value to Buffett.

This strategic move follows Buffett&#8217;s consistent offloading of shares from&nbsp;Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase, and Wells Fargo, thereby freeing up a significant cash reserve for new investments.
Why It Matters: The shift in Buffett&#8217;s investment strategy underscores his confidence in Sirius XM&#8217;s long-term potential, despite its recent financial setbacks. 
The investment in Sirius XM, a company known for its&nbsp;strong brand and recurring revenue&nbsp;model, aligns with Buffett&#8217;s investment philosophy of buying stocks with solid fundamentals at a discount.
Moreover, the offloading of shares from&nbsp;Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase, and Wells Fargo, suggests a potential shift in Buffett&#8217;s view on the banking sector. 
This move could signal a broader trend among investors, who may also be reassessing their positions in these banks.

Warren Buffett Skips Big Banks Like JPMorgan and Wells Fargo, Bets $459 Million On This One Asset

Would you fire your own mom to get ahead in life? Kevin O'Leary would. In fact, he says you should — if that's what it takes.
"You sacrifice everything, you do anything you possibly can — including firing your mother if you have to — to make that business survive," O'Leary said in an <a href="https://youtu.be/PGUEj7iAT0M?si=nNJPwDF0ASPboUF8">interview over a decade ago</a> with"AfterShark" host Jason Cochran. And while the quote is from 14 years back, the philosophy hasn't aged a day.
"The only thing that matters in life is money," he continued. "Money is the blood of life and the blood of business. Without it, you're dead."

</ul>
It's a harsh take, sure. But it's classic Mr. Wonderful — the name he earned for delivering harsh truths on "Shark Tank" and Canada's "Dragon's Den." And if you think he's exaggerating, you don't know O'Leary.
He wasn't talking to billionaires or private equity titans. He was talking about everyday people trying to get ahead — people with an idea, a plan, maybe a small business, or just a dream they want to take seriously. And he was warning them: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/financial-advisors/25/06/46131850/none-of-that-matters-kevin-oleary-says-you-might-have-to-sacrifice-your-marriage-your-dog-and-even-your-moms-love-to-succeed">the road to success is not smooth</a>, fair, or balanced.
"If somebody says to you life is balance — it's just simply not true," he said. "If you're a real entrepreneur, there is no balance. You work on your business 24/7."
That kind of tunnel vision might sound extreme, but according to O'Leary, it's exactly what it takes to beat the odds. And the odds are brutal.

Roughly 20% of small businesses fail within their first year, according to the <a href="https://www.bls.gov/bdm/us_age_naics_00_table7.txt">Bureau of Labor Statistics</a>. Around 50% don't survive past five. Those numbers don't lie — and neither does O'Leary. Sitting at the "Shark Tank" table, he's seen what separates those who make it from those who vanish after a season or two of hustle. It's not just about ideas. It's about grit, obsession, and an unapologetic willingness to prioritize success over everything else.
"Once you have success, once you have the personal freedom, you can pursue many other interests," he explained. "But until you get it done the first time, nothing else matters in the end."
So no, maybe O'Leary doesn't literally want you to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/financial-advisors/25/07/46188863/when-kevin-oleary-found-his-mother-was-secretly-an-investing-genius-the-performance-was-extraordinary-and-better-than-most-hedge-funds">walk into your mom's office</a> and hand her a pink slip. But he is saying you should be willing to. Because if family, comfort, or even your own sleep is more important than the goal, you probably won't get there.
It's not for everyone. Most people don't operate this way — and maybe that's the point.
Because to O'Leary, success doesn't wait for anyone. It demands everything.
And if you're not prepared to give it — even if it means cutting ties with the people you love — the money probably won't come.
Whether that makes him cold or clear-eyed depends on how badly you want to win.

Kevin O'Leary Said You've Got To Be Willing To 'Fire Your Mom' If You Want Success Because 'Money Is The Only Thing That Matters'

Elon Musk&#8216;s announcement of the formation of the America Party has drawn the attention of several prominent figures, including Mark Cuban <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44348205/scaramucci-sees-trouble-ahead-for-musk-trump-relationship-everyone-flames-out-with-trump">and Anthony Scaramucci</a>.
What Happened: On Saturday, Musk, a previous supporter of President Donald Trump, revealed the creation of the new party after a disagreement with Trump over his spending bill.
Musk, who is a naturalized U.S. citizen born abroad, is ineligible to run for president but can endorse third-party candidates. On July 4, he conducted a poll asking if people desired a new party, with a majority of 65.4% respondents in favor. Subsequent to the poll, Musk declared the establishment of the America Party on X.
Notable figures such as billionaire entrepreneur Mark Cuban and ex-White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci have shown interest in the new party.

Cuban indicated his willingness to collaborate with the Center for Competitive Democracy to assist the party in getting on ballots, while Scaramucci showed interest in meeting to discuss the party.

However, the party has also been met with criticism. Steve Bannon, Trump&#8217;s former chief strategist, criticized the party on his podcast, while Roger Stone, a seasoned Republican strategist, voiced concerns about the party potentially dividing the Republican vote.
Why It Matters: This move by Musk could potentially disrupt the current two-party system in the U.S. politics. 
The interest shown by high-profile figures like Cuban and Scaramucci suggests that the America Party could gain significant traction. 
However, concerns about splitting the Republican vote highlight the challenges the new party may face in the political landscape.

Anthony Scaramucci Wants 'To Discuss' New Party With Musk, Mark Cuban Offers Ballot Access Aid

President Donald Trump held a phone conversation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Friday, one day after expressing disappointment over an unproductive call <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/05/45337864/ukraine-proposes-ceasefire-as-precondition-for-talks-with-russia" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">with Russian President</a><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/05/45337864/ukraine-proposes-ceasefire-as-precondition-for-talks-with-russia" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Vladimir Putin</a>.

The Zelenskyy call followed a tense exchange between Trump and Putin the previous day.

'Not Looking To Stop': Trump Slams Putin on Ukraine, Speaks With Zelenskyy

President Donald Trump has declared that the U.S. is set to begin negotiations with China on a potential deal involving TikTok. The discussions are expected to kick off as early as the coming week.
What Happened: Trump has unveiled plans to initiate talks with China concerning the sale of TikTok. &#8220;We pretty much have a deal,&#8221; Trump announced on Friday, hinting that the negotiations could start as early as Monday or Tuesday.
"I think we're gonna start Monday or Tuesday, talking to China, perhaps President Xi Jinping or one of his representatives, but we pretty much have a deal," Trump said. 
According to the Reuters&#8217; report, Trump&#8217;s announcement came on the heels of a report by The Post&#8217;s Charles Gasparino that a potential buyer for the Chinese-owned app had been identified. 
However, the real hurdle lies with the seller. The deal is expected to necessitate China&#8217;s approval, as TikTok has emerged as a significant factor in the ongoing US-China trade negotiations.
Furthermore, Trump has granted an extension to TikTok&#8217;s parent company,&nbsp;ByteDance, to divest its US assets by September 17. This is the third extension since Trump&#8217;s re-entry&nbsp;to the White House in&nbsp;January.

When questioned about his confidence in China agreeing to the deal, Trump replied, &#8220;I&#8217;m&nbsp;not confident, but I think&nbsp;so. President Xi and I&nbsp;have a great relationship, and&nbsp;I think it&#8217;s&nbsp;good for them. I think&nbsp;the deal is good for&nbsp;China, and it&#8217;s good for us.&#8221;
Why It Matters: The potential deal comes amidst heightened tensions between the US and China, with TikTok at the center of the dispute. The video-sharing platform has been under scrutiny in the US due to concerns over data privacy and national security. 
The outcome of these negotiations could significantly impact the future of TikTok in the US and set a precedent for other Chinese tech companies operating in the country. 
Furthermore, the deal could also influence the dynamics of the ongoing US-China trade negotiations.

Donald Trump Announces Upcoming Talks With China On TikTok: 'We Pretty Much Have A Deal'

Bill Gates and Elon Musk are two of the richest men in the world and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/46080769/tesla-robotaxi-rollout-bill-gates-elon-musk">at times enemies</a> who don't agree on much. When it comes to thoughts on drinking, the two may have more in common than they know.
What Happened: A social media thread in 2023 by entrepreneur and investor&nbsp;Marc Andreessen&nbsp;caught the attention of&nbsp;Elon Musk. The thread called for the elimination of alcohol consumption.
Here's what Musk had to say about alcohol and how Bill Gates factors into the sector.
Andreessen shared in the Twitter thread that he stopped drinking alcohol six months earlier.
"I feel much better, and I'm mad as hell about it. I never really drank through my 20s and 30s, but grew to really enjoy whiskey through my 40s, coincident with ‘Mad Men,' and roughly a thousand academic studies that proved that alcohol is actually good for you," Andreessen tweeted.
Andreessen said his quote of "The perfect day is 10 hours of caffeine followed by 4 hours of alcohol" has been widely used and might still be true.
"In recent years, it's become clear that most or all —&nbsp;probably all —&nbsp;of the scientific studies on the benefits of alcohol are fake, the scientists unwitting or witting victims of selection effects."
Andreessen said he feels better since giving up alcohol and has gotten better sleep.
Musk replied to the tweet with his own thoughts on alcohol.
"Once you acknowledge that alcohol is poison, it's fine to drink a little. The trade is a small amount of health for an even smaller amount of fun, but that's not crazy to do once in a while with friends," Musk&nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1631012111101972486" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">said</a>.
Musk called alcohol "a legacy drug" in his tweet.
In a 2018 "ask me anything" on Reddit, Bill Gates said he wasn't much of a beer drinker.
"I am not a big beer drinker. When I end up at something like a baseball game I drink light beer to get with the vibe of all the other beer drinkers. Sorry to disappoint real beer drinkers," Gates said at the time.
Gates comments were in the news at the time with&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/02/31015357/bill-gates-isnt-a-big-beer-drinker-but-just-bought-a-4-stake-in-this-global-brewery" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the billionaire investing</a>&nbsp;in&nbsp;Heineken N.V.&nbsp;(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HEINY#OTC">HEINY</a>), one of the largest global brewers.
Comments from both Musk and Gates suggest they only choose to drink when they are with friends or at social events, with the key being in moderation.

The Impact of Beer:&nbsp;Gates investment in Heineken drew mixed reactions due to his comments on beer and a study funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation that showed there are no benefits and only risks for young adults drinking alcohol.
In 2022, a study of people under the age of 40 showed that drinking even two teaspoons of wine per day or two and a half tablespoons of beer per day could risk future health. The study was published in the Lancet medical journal, as reported by&nbsp;<a href="https://fortune.com/2022/07/15/alcohol-study-lancet-young-adults-should-not-drink-bill-melinda-gates-foundation/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Fortune</a>.&nbsp;
Another research report&nbsp;<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/01/13/well/mind/alcohol-health-effects.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">published&nbsp;</a>by the New York Times showed similar results that any amount of alcohol consumption can be harmful to health.
The study found that alcohol damages DNA and can prevent the body from repairing the damage. This can lead to long-term health problems such as&nbsp;cancer. Other harmful items can include high blood pressure, coronary artery disease&nbsp;and liver disease.

Circle Internet, Centene And Li Auto Are Among Top 10 Large Cap Losers Last Week (June 30-July 4): Are The Others In Your Portfolio?

According to latest reports, flash floods in Texas have led to the loss of more than 50 lives, with 27 girls from a summer camp still missing. This incident marks one of the deadliest flooding events in the state&#8217;s history.
What Happened: A storm that dumped nearly a foot of rain in the region triggered sudden floods. These floods swept through Central Texas, causing extensive devastation and loss of life. The Guadalupe River in Kerr County, known for its historic summer camps, was among the areas most severely affected.
Search and rescue teams, equipped with helicopters, boats, and drones, are making relentless efforts to locate survivors and rescue those stranded by the floodwaters. The search for the 27 missing girls&nbsp;from Camp Mystic, a Christian&nbsp;summer camp along the Guadalupe River, continues amidst the debris and destruction, <a href="https://apnews.com/article/texas-floods-missing-hill-country-5044c169b59921b2b4f65a2568c354c0">reports </a>Associated Press. 
The floodwaters, which surged 26 feet&nbsp;on the Guadalupe River in&nbsp;just 45 minutes, washed away homes and vehicles. Despite the ongoing rain and flash flood warnings, rescue operations persist.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott has&nbsp;declared Sunday a day of&nbsp;prayer for the state, urging Texans to pray for the lives lost, those still missing, and the recovery of the affected communities. 
Also Check: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/flood-insurance">The Best Flood Insurance</a>
The governor also assured that new areas are&nbsp;being searched as the water&nbsp;recedes.
Concerns are being raised about the adequacy of the warning and preparedness measures in place, especially in areas known to be vulnerable to flooding. The number of missing persons remains uncertain due to the popularity of the region during the July Fourth holiday period.
While weather forecasts had predicted rain, the intensity of the downpour, equivalent to months&#8217;&nbsp;worth of rain for the&nbsp;area, was unexpected. The search for survivors continues amidst challenging conditions, with more than 850 people&nbsp;rescued in the last 36&nbsp;hours.
This catastrophic event underscores the importance of effective disaster preparedness and response measures, particularly in regions known for their vulnerability to such natural calamities. 
The unexpected intensity of the rainfall and the subsequent flash floods highlight the unpredictability of weather patterns and the urgent need for robust early warning systems. 
The ongoing rescue operations and the search for the missing girls from Camp Mystic underscore the human toll of such disasters and the critical role of timely and coordinated response efforts.

Unprecedented Texas Flash Floods Result In Over 50 Fatalities, 27 Girls Still Missing

Shark Tank investor Kevin O'Leary says most people will never start a company, insisting that only about one in three has the grit to thrive as an entrepreneur and taste true freedom.
What Happened: "In life, only a third of people can become successful entrepreneurs. That's it," the investor told Steven Bartlett on the "Diary of a CEO" podcast. "The rest can be very successful employees … you can have a fantastic life.&#8221;
&#8220;You won't be shackled to the ups and downs of entrepreneurship, the challenge of it, how hard it is. But you'll never be free,&#8221; said O Leary.

For the two-thirds who prefer salaried positions, O'Leary insisted there is "nothing wrong" with a corporate path and a steady paycheck.

He argued that true builders master a razor-sharp "signal-to-noise ratio." Steve Jobs was &#8220;80 signal, 20 noise," O'Leary said, mentioning that he sees a similar trait in Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) chief Elon Musk. "Elon Musk … he has no noise. 60 seconds of every minute, 60 minutes of every hour, the 18 hours he's awake, it's all signal. And look what he's achieved,&#8221; he added.
Why It Matters: O'Leary, now 70, built Toronto-based SoftKey into an educational-software powerhouse and sold it to Mattel for $3.7 billion in 1999, a deal that helped give him an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/05/45433850/mr-wonderful-kevin-oleary-says-youre-literally-giving-away-money-to-billers-by-not-doing-this-one-simple-thing-and-hes-been-doing-it-for-decades">estimated $400 million</a> fortune.
He told listeners that even at Harvard Business School, two-thirds of students "want to become consultants and lead a life of mediocrity," while the top third embraces &#8220;the stress and the pain and the trauma and the anxiety and the risk of failure&#8221; of starting companies.
Other successful entrepreneurs identify different ingredients for success, and O'Leary's former "Shark Tank" cohost Mark Cuban echoes them, saying he observes one trait in successful people and that&#8217;s a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/financial-advisors/25/06/45939593/mark-cuban-challenges-concept-of-work-life-balance-for-high-achievers-not-working-would-be-a-sacrifice">strong work ethic</a>.

NIKE, Datadog And Snap Are Among Top 11 Large Cap Gainers Last Week (June 30-July 4): Are The Others In Your Portfolio?

Tech mogul Elon Musk has announced the formation of a new political party, the &#8220;America Party,&#8221; <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/12/42496864/exclusive-eric-trump-calls-elon-musk-albert-einstein-of-our-time-says-tesla-ceo-will-help-build-a-stronger-america">on his social media platform X.</a>
The creation of the America Party comes in the wake of President Donald Trump&#8216;s signing of a significant spending bill on July 4.
Musk expressed his disapproval of the bill&#8217;s spending measures and formed the new party as a countermeasure to what he views as a flawed two-party system.
Prior to his decision, Musk conducted a poll on X, querying voters about their desire for independence from the existing political framework. The poll garnered over 1.2 million votes, with a majority of 65.4% favoring the establishment of a new political party.
Musk announced the results of the poll on Saturday, stating,&nbsp;&#8220;By a factor of 2&nbsp;to 1, you want a&nbsp;new political party and you&nbsp;shall have it.&#8221; He further explained that the America Party was created to &#8220;give you back your freedom.&#8221;

The new party&#8217;s strategy is to secure key congressional seats, thereby forming a swing bloc potent enough to challenge both the Republican and Democratic parties.

Despite this, skeptics argue that the emergence of a third party could divide the conservative vote, potentially making it easier for Democrats to secure victories. Some suggest that Musk&#8217;s efforts would be better spent working to reform the GOP from within.
Historically, third parties have found it difficult to establish a foothold in American politics due to the system&#8217;s bias towards the two dominant parties.
The formation of the America Party marks a significant shift in the political landscape. With Musk&#8217;s influence and the backing of a large number of voters, the party could potentially disrupt the longstanding two-party system. 
However, the challenge lies in overcoming the historical difficulties faced by third parties in gaining traction within the American political framework.

Elon Musk Announces Formation of 'America Party' Emerges in Wake of Donald Trump's Historic Spending Bill

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Market Overview</h2>
Bulls were on parade last week, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average leading the rally higher. It finished up 2.30% on the week, but fell just short of a new all-time high. The S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq hit new all-time highs, and finished up 1.72% and 1.62%, respectively. We're starting to see greed creep back into the tape, and I'm not ruling out a blowoff top at this point. Still, any dips that follow through should be bought, especially on the crypto side of the market. Stimulus is coming, as the only way out of this fiscal mess is to grow our way out of it. We have an abbreviated report this week due to the holiday. Take some time to rest! It's very important especially in these markets.

<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Why It's Happening</h4>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>The integration of "Tile" trackers and the rollout of new features in adjacent categories such as family financial tools, elderly care, and auto insurance are enhancing Life360's platform value. These innovations not only increase user engagement but also open up new monetization avenues, diversifying revenue streams and reducing reliance on any single segment.</li>
<li>Life360's international penetration is accelerating, with MAUs outside the US growing 46% year-over-year in 2024. Regional penetration rates remain well below domestic levels—10% in the UK, 11% in Australia, and just 14% in the US—leaving ample headroom for further expansion.</li>
<li>Other revenue streams, including advertising and partnerships, grew 41% to $36 million in 2024. With a massive and engaged user base, Life360 is well-positioned to capitalize on targeted advertising and strategic partnerships. Analysts expect advertising revenue to continue growing significantly, providing a powerful incremental tailwind that could surprise to the upside and drive further stock gains.</li>
<li>​​Life360's MAUs reached approximately 83.7 million in Q1 2025, reflecting a 30% year-over-year increase. This rapid expansion is especially impressive given the company's already substantial user base, suggesting that Life360's brand and platform are resonating deeply with families worldwide. </li>
<li>Life360 delivered a blowout first quarter in 2025, with total revenue surging 32% year-over-year to $103.6 million, marking its strongest Q1 ever. This performance was fueled by record highs in Monthly Active Users (MAUs), paying subscribers, and net additions, demonstrating that the company's platform is experiencing accelerating adoption even as consumer spending remains cautious.</li>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Market-Moving Catalysts for the Week Ahead</h2>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What's the Story on Jobs?</h3>
It seems to be a recurring theme over the past several months where the ADP and BLS employment reports show completely different narratives. This happened again last week where the ADP report showed a weakening labor market, but BLS showed a resilient one.
So, what's the real story? All I know is I'm seeing more reports of companies laying off workers and hearing stories about people finding it more difficult to find work. Part of it has to do with artificial intelligence, but part of it is also cost-saving measures from companies.
We've been looking at September for the next rate cut. I would forget about a rate cut in July at this point. Between the new budget bill and rate cuts on the horizon, it looks like this market is about to get pumped to another level.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">A Lull in the Headlines?</h3>
We have FOMC minutes this week, but don't let the absence of other data releases fool you. I'm looking right at the July 9 tariff deadline, which could potentially be a source for the market's next round of volatility.
Some deals have been struck although there appears to be some lingering issues with Japan and the European Union especially. At the end of the day, any exporting nation wants and basically needs to sell to the U.S. market.
And don't even get me started on the delusional idea that tariffs are inflationary. Nobody believes taxes are inflationary, and tariffs are a tax. You can agree or disagree with the idea of tariffs, but never let political biases creep into your portfolio. It's job is to make money, not be right.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Sector &amp; Industry Strength</h2>

</figure>
Overall, the state of the stock market's sectors continues to point to bullish momentum and more upside. All of the right sectors continue to lead, and save for consumer discretionary (XLY), all of the right sectors continue to lag year-to-date.
Eight of the eleven S&amp;P sectors are solidly in positive territory year-to-date. Industrials (XLI) are still on top of the throne, but we saw quite a rebound from the communications (XLC) sector in recent sessions.
Utilities (XLU) and consumer staples (XLP) are right in the middle of the pack, which is another boon for bulls. If either of these sectors, or even healthcare (XLV) starts to climb in the next week or two, we can start preparing for a market pullback. Until then, ride the wave.

Editor's Note: This tape's all about growth – for now.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Comparing Leaders (Sector ETF: XLI/XLK)&nbsp;</h3>
I want to stack the two most important sectors of the moment this week to see where the money is flowing. Industrials (XLI) have been the leader year-to-date, but technology (XLK) has been the leader since the April 7 bottom.
This is reflected in the ratio chart between XLI and XLK, as it topped out in April and has been trending lower ever since. The big question now is whether we see a wedge formation or a channel, as these two scenarios suggest two very different outcomes.
If this is a channel, I expect XLK to keep outperforming XLI, but if this is a wedge, then we'll see XLK slow down and XLI reassume leadership. For the overall market, XLK leading is more bullish.

</figure>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Junk Bonds Leading (Sector ETF: HYG/IEI)&nbsp;</h3>
You know what they say – credit leads – and when we see leadership from junk bonds (HYG), it's hardly a bearish signal, especially when it comes to its performance against 3-7 Year Treasuries (IEI).
Note how credit spreads blew out during the correction into the April 7 low. If anything, that was the event of the year, and the likelihood of that happening again in the next 6 months is not very high.
With respect to the longer-term trend, it was a higher-low, but it did take out the low from summer 2024. So, at this point, it's new all-time highs or bust for this ratio. If we're going to be bullish, we don't want to see this ratio turn sharply lower.

</figure>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">My Take:</h3>
Junk bonds trade like stocks more than bonds, hence their "junk" status. But when it's leading, it suggests a calm sailing environment. Bull markets climb a wall of worry, and the press does a great job at keeping people worried as all the signals point to higher prices ahead.
Junk bonds give us an idea on the state of liquidity. When market conditions worsen, people seek safety in Treasuries and higher-quality names. Obviously, junk bonds do not fall into that category of quality.

Don't be surprised if we finally see a liftoff in the price of Bitcoin in the coming days. It continues to consolidate above the critical $100,000-$105,00 support level that acted as major resistance throughout early 2025. Above this key technical level, bulls are in control of this market.
The duration of this wedge formation lends itself to the idea of a massive move coming. the very least, we're looking for it to go above 130,000-135,000, but I want to see a new all-time high in the coming days first.
It's still in an uptrend, but has spent the past several weeks consolidating near the highs, which as a rule, is bullish price action. There's no need to complicate things here, although I am starting to look at some other coins for even more upside. Stay tuned.

Elon Musk's Tesla Troubles, Boeing's Midair Scare And More: This Week In Mobility

Rolling over a $1 million 401(k) to a financial advisor might seem like a smart move — but according to personal finance expert Suze Orman, there are some serious trade-offs to consider first.&nbsp;
In a <a href="https://omny.fm/shows/suze-ormans-women-and-money/ask-kt-suze-anything-throwing-money-at-a-problem-does-not-always-solve-it">recent episode</a> of the "Women &amp; Money" podcast, Orman shared her thoughts on a listener's situation and pointed out why early retirees should think twice before making the switch.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Listener's Dilemma</h2>
The question came from Jeff, whose husband retired early at age 57. The couple has over $1 million saved in a 401(k), split between <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/financial-advisors/25/06/46123097/my-retired-friends-say-im-a-fool-for-converting-my-traditional-iras-to-a-roth-suze-ormans-reply-may-surprise-you">traditional and Roth accounts</a>. Their financial advisor, who works with Morgan Stanley (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MS#NYSE">MS</a>), has suggested rolling both accounts into IRAs under his management.
Don't Miss:

</ul>
While Jeff said the advisor has been helpful with other investments, he's concerned about fees and whether moving the entire 401(k) is truly in their best interest.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Orman's Warning: You Could Lose Penalty-Free Access</h2>
Orman's main concern? Early access. She explained that because Jeff's husband retired at 57, he qualifies under IRS Rule 72(t), which allows penalty-free withdrawals from a 401(k) if someone leaves their job in the year they turn 55 or later. That flexibility would disappear with a rollover.
"If you roll it over to your financial adviser," Orman said, "you cannot touch that money until you are 59½ years of age."
So while taxes would still apply to withdrawals from the traditional portion, the penalty-free access could be a crucial safety net — especially in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/management/25/07/46210567/this-is-just-a-necessary-spend-back-to-school-spending-holds-steady-despite-economic-uncertainties">uncertain times</a>.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What About the Roth 401(k)?</h2>
Orman also raised a flag about the Roth portion. If Jeff doesn't already have a Roth IRA with the advisor, the rollover could restart the five-year waiting period before earnings can be withdrawn tax-free.
That means even Roth funds could be locked up longer than expected, depending on how the rollover is done.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Consider a Split Strategy</h2>
"You don't have to be an all-or-nothing investor," Orman pointed out. Instead of rolling over everything, Jeff could consider leaving part of the 401(k) — especially the traditional part — where it is. That way, early access remains available if needed.
Before moving funds, Orman suggests asking a key question: "Will the advisor earn you enough to cover the higher management fees compared to what you're already earning in the 401(k)?"

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Don&#8217;t Forget the Backdoor Roth Implication</h2>
One last consideration: If Jeff rolls funds into a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/05/45587754/i-contributed-after-tax-amounts-to-a-pre-tax-ira-can-i-withdraw-those-contributions-to-open-a-roth-account-heres-what-suze-orman-says">traditional IRA</a>, it may limit future strategies. Specifically, it could block the ability to do a backdoor Roth IRA conversion, which can be a valuable tax strategy for high earners.
"You won't be able to do a backdoor Roth if you have an IRA," Orman cautioned. "You will be able to do it if you have a traditional 401(k)."
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Bottom Line</h2>
Rolling over a 401(k) isn't just about investment performance — it's also about access, taxes, and flexibility. Before making the move, it's worth weighing all your options and understanding what might be lost in the process.
As Orman reminds listeners often: When it comes to your money, "You need to know everything you need to know."

Should They Roll Over A $1M 401(k) To Their Financial Advisor? Suze Orman Warns Against Losing Early Withdrawal Access

The past week has been a rollercoaster ride in the world of finance and cryptocurrency. The spotlight was on President Donald Trump&#8217;s &#8216;Big Beautiful Bill&#8217; and its potential implications for Bitcoin. Meanwhile, concerns about America&#8217;s debt crisis continue to mount and Robinhood&#8217;s latest move in blockchain technology has stirred up the market.
Here&#8217;s a quick recap of the top stories.
Bitcoin And Trump&#8217;s &#8216;Big Beautiful Bill&#8217;
President Donald Trump&#8217;s &#8216;Big Beautiful Bill&#8217; has been the talk of the town, especially its potential impact on Bitcoin. The bill, which passed through the Senate, is expected to lead to a significant fiscal expansion. Market analysts suggest that the bill&#8217;s projected impact on government spending, inflation, and the U.S. dollar could drive a shift toward Bitcoin as investors look for alternative stores of value.

Trump's 'Big Beautiful Bill' And Its Impact On Bitcoin, America's Debt Crisis And Robinhood's Blockchain Move: This Week In Crypto

President Donald Trump signed his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46240478/trumps-big-beautiful-bill-advances-as-house-gop-squeezes-out-219-213-win" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">sweeping tax and spending package</a> into law on Friday after it narrowly passed both houses of Congress last week.
The signing keeps his second-term agenda alive and sets the stage for big shifts in corporate taxes, consumer spending, and tech-sector investments.
Markets took the news in stride. Both the S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq 100 climbed to fresh record highs, lifted by solid economic data and the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/market-summary/25/07/46262523/trump-fed-policy-markets-records-vietnam-trade-deal-obbba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">promise of policy stability</a>.
For investors, the week delivered a rare mix of bullish momentum and clear direction.
Adding to the surprise, Trump unveiled a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46241070/trumps-vietnam-trade-deal-with-40-tax-on-transshipments-may-result-in-chinese-backlash-say-economists-they-want-inflation" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">new trade deal with Vietnam</a>. The agreement imposes steep tariffs—20% on Vietnamese imports and 40% on transshipped goods—but opens up full access for U.S. companies to Vietnam&#8217;s domestic market, a major win for American exporters, especially in consumer tech and electronics.
