'Former Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick Remains Interested In Buying TikTok' - The Information

Self-described "Crypto Hippie" Tyrone Ross Jr. sat down with Benzinga's Chief Content Officer Brad Olesen in a multipart interview series to discuss how his financial planning firm, 401 Financial, is educating clients about cryptocurrency and Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) and avoiding some of the pitfalls of the traditional financial advisory industry. He also made it clear where he stands when it comes to advising clients on how they<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-build-a-stock-portfolio"> should build a portfolio.</a>
"What we really try to do is one, stop them from over-trading," Ross says with regards to how he advises clients in constructing how their assets are managed.
He invoked an anecdote in which there was one client he came across who had performed over 14,000 transactions. The "beauty" of 401's model, he said, i that it gives advice, and ultimately clients can make their own decisions. 401 doesn't benefit if you trade more or less &#8211; it's just advice that comes monthly compared to some advisors who could meet with clients as little as once or twice.  
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42469414/xrp-poised-for-brief-correction-but-heres-why-it-could-go-to-4">XRP Poised For &#8216;Brief Correction,&#8217; But Here&#8217;s Why It Could Go To $4</a>
401 Financial's name is borne from a former track coach who advised running 401 yards through the line — not just the 400. The origin story began following Tyrone's years at Bank of America Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>)-owned Merrill Lynch where he witnessed incredible success stories. The failings, specifically in accounting for crypto-related exposure, served to light the fire.
"I did realize there, though, when I was shown Bitcoin for the first time, I couldn&#8217;t unsee it." Despite those shortcomings, what left an indelible mark on Tyrone during his time at Merrill through 2016 was the "value" of financial planning. "That team did financial planning like I&#8217;ve never seen it to this day," Ross says.
But it's not all crypto, all the time for this financial advisor — despite the fact that he calls himself the "biggest crypto hippie you'll ever meet." While he considers traditional assets and stocks "dinosaur" bones, he adds, "if you want it (stocks), we give you exposure."
Among the assets he usually advises clients to pursue are some larger, broad market ETFs like the Vanguard S&amp;P 500 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VOO#NYSE">VOO</a>) and a bit of emerging markets depending on age and where they are in their lives.
He says the beauty of his advice-only model is that "we&#8217;re not trying to acquire your assets" or "sell you anything" so 401 can get you into the "lowest cost ever." Ultimately, clients often know what they're going to get with Ross given his open stance on cryptocurrency and specifically Bitcoin, he says. 
Tyrone and his team want to educate as much as anything else, whether it's around dollar cost averaging or learning how to gain direct access to Bitcoin instead of buying into Bitcoin ETFs, trusts and derivatives like iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBIT#NASDAQ">IBIT</a>), ProShares Bitcoin ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BITO#NYSE">BITO</a>), Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FBTC#BATS">FBTC</a>) or similar funds. "I don&#8217;t like the (crypto) ETFs, because, again, I think it&#8217;s a way to siphon fees on top of buying crypto." 401 has a message for those looking to start their financial journey: "We want to work with folks that have never worked with an advisor before. We don't have any minimums … and if you can't afford it, we'll take you on anyway until you can afford it. "
As Bitcoin<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42461870/michael-saylor-lauds-bitcoins-100000-milestone-it-will-be-embraced-by-the-worlds-wealthy-and-powerful"> crosses the $100,000 mark,</a> and the crypto industry&#8217;s market value nears $4 trillion, it&#8217;s only more likely that those in the market for advisory services will require someone who speaks blockchain in its native tongue.

What's Going On With POET Technologies Stock Thursday?

I admit it: I am something of a geek.
I spend a lot of time sitting around reading articles, crunching numbers, and engaging in other research-focused activities.
One of my favorite ways to spend an afternoon is with a game in the background (preferably baseball, but there has to be an offseason), reading the latest academic studies and insights.
Recently, I spent some time with a study on insider buying titled &#8220;Are CFOs&#8217; Trades More Informative Than CEOs&#8217; Trades?&#8221;
As it turns out, they are.
Everyone focuses on the CEO. After all, he is the top executive who sees everything: all the plans, all the ideas, all the sales figures, everything.
The CEO is the ship&#8217;s captain who sees all and theoretically knows all.
Why, then, does the CFO outperform?
Keeping our ship analogy, the CEO may be the captain, but the CFO oversees the engine room and the power plant.
He knows what cash is coming in, where it is going, and how the excess is being spent.
The CFO knows how much they owe and to whom they owe it.
The CFO is also present in every meeting and sees every plan and vision laid out by the CEO and other executives.
He also knows how these plans will impact the business&#8217;s financial health.
She is also best positioned to judge how these plans will likely impact the company&#8217;s value.
When the Chief Financial Officer buys, it is because the business is trading for less than the ultimate insider view says it is worth.
Here are three companies with recent significant buying by the Chief Financial Officer:
Dorchester Minerals, L.P. (Ticker: DMLP) is a master limited partnership that acquires, owns, and manages producing and non-producing mineral, royalty, overriding royalty, net profits, and leasehold interests across the United States.
Its diversified portfolio spans 593 counties and parishes in 28 states, providing exposure to various oil and gas assets.
While the company is currently most active in the Permian and Bakken regions, it also has significant acreage in the Utica Shale and Marcellus Shale regions, which hold enormous amounts of natural gas.
Most energy industry insiders think that natural gas will be in huge demand as the energy source for developing AI to its full potential.
As a royalty trust, Dorchester is paid for every drop of oil and gas produced on the acreage they own. At the current price, the yield on the shares is over 10%.
CFO Leslie Moriyama is clearly a big believer in higher energy prices, as she has recently purchased over $500,000 worth of additional stock in the company.
HA Sustainable Infrastructure Capital, Inc. (Ticker: HASI), formerly known as Hannon Armstrong Sustainable Infrastructure Capital, Inc., is a leading investor in climate solutions, focusing on energy efficiency, renewable energy, and other sustainable infrastructure markets across the United States.
HA Sustainable Infrastructure Capital, Inc. (HASI) maintains a diversified portfolio across three primary markets: Behind-the-Meter (BTM), Grid-Connected (GC), and Fuels, Transport &amp; Nature (FTN). As of June 30, 2024, the portfolio distribution was approximately 47% in BTM, 40% in GC, and 13% in FTN.
The company&#8217;s investments encompass various asset classes, including equity, joint ventures, land ownership, lending, and other financing transactions. Notable investments include a structured equity investment in a 2.0 GW portfolio of contracted wind, solar, and solar-plus-storage projects, and a senior debt investment in a portfolio of operating landfill gas-to-renewable natural gas and wastewater treatment biogas-to-renewable natural gas plants.
CFO Marc Pangburn is not buying the death of renewables story, as he recently purchased a six-figure stake in the company.
Centene Corporation (Ticker: CNC), headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri, is a leading managed care company specializing in government-sponsored healthcare programs. Founded in 1984, Centene has become a significant intermediary for government-sponsored and privately insured healthcare plans, offering a comprehensive range of services to individuals and families across the United States. The company&#8217;s portfolio includes Medicaid, Medicare Advantage, and Marketplace insurance plans, serving over 28 million members nationwide.
In the third quarter of 2024, Centene reported total revenues of $42.0 billion, marking a 10% increase from the same period in the previous year. This growth was primarily driven by a 22% increase in Marketplace membership and a 49% rise in Medicare Prescription Drug Plans. The company&#8217;s adjusted diluted earnings per share stood at $1.62, surpassing analysts&#8217; expectations.
Despite a decline in Medicaid membership due to redeterminations, Centene&#8217;s diversified portfolio allowed it to navigate these challenges effectively. The company reaffirmed its full-year adjusted diluted EPS guidance of greater than $6.80, reflecting confidence in its financial outlook.
The stock has sold off this year, finally attracting the interest of CFO Andrew Asher, who recently purchased $1 million worth of the company.

C-Suite Buy of the Week: Executives' Investments Offer Clues to Market Directions

The XRP Token (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/xrp/usd">XRP</a>) from Ripple was part of a surprise charity donation to Ellen DeGeneres in 2018 with Ashton Kutcher describing his investment in the company and why it was important in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto">the cryptocurrency sector.</a>
Here's a look back at the moment and how much investors could have made investing in XRP at the time.
What Happened: The price of XRP has soared in 2024 thanks to filings for XRP ETFs, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42446237/xrp-price-explodes-20-to-2-43-after-ripple-receives-rlusd-stablecoin-approval">a stablecoin launch</a> and optimism that a new White House administration could help the company in its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/24/11/42173824/if-you-invested-1000-in-xrp-token-when-sec-lawsuit-caused-mass-panic-heres-how-much-youd-have-today">pending SEC lawsuit.</a>
While XRP has had a great 2024, the cryptocurrency hit <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42225289/heres-how-much-100-invested-in-xrp-token-today-will-be-worth-if-crypto-returns-to-all-time-highs">an all-time high</a> of $3.84 in early 2018, a level it has failed to recapture over the last six years. Another event that happened for XRP in 2018 was the cryptocurrency being highlighted by actor and tech investor Kutcher.
Kutcher made a surprise <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a7JQzSn8Ptg">appearance </a>on the May 23, 2018 episode of "The Ellen Show," a talk show hosted by DeGeneres.
During his appearance, Kutcher was joined by investor Guy Oseary. The two business partners were also investors in Ripple at the time.
"Ripple is basically a platform to allow people to transfer money from bank account to bank account, person to person, really securely, really simply, really quickly," Kutcher said of the company.
Kutcher said XRP is the cryptocurrency for Ripple and a way to get value "from here to there."
The actor and investor shared on the show that Ripple was donating $4 million to DeGeneres' charity, The Ellen DeGeneres Wildlife Fund, leaving the talk show host nearly speechless.
"You never ask anyone for anything, you're always thinking about everyone else," Kutcher added.
Kutcher highlighted the power of Ripple by saying instead of bringing out a giant check to mark the $4 million donation, he could transfer the money to DeGeneres right there by pushing a button and putting the money into her charity's account.
"That was the most amazing thing," DeGeneres said. "I love Ripple. Thank you Ripple for doing this."

Investing $1,000 in XRP: The XRP Token traded between $0.5870 and $0.6491 on May 23, 2018, the day the episode aired.
A $1,000 investment at the time could have purchased 1540.5947 XRP based on the day&#8217;s high price.
The $1,000 investment would be worth $3,712.83 today based on a price of $2.41 for XRP at the time of writing. This represents a potential return of 271.3% over the last six-plus years.
While XRP is up over 280% year-to-date in 2024, Benzinga readers predict positive things ahead in 2025.
Benzinga <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42378513/can-bitcoin-ethereum-dogecoin-shiba-inu-or-solana-beat-xrp-in-2025-poll-says-yes-one-coin-stands-out">recently asked readers</a> their thoughts on XRP versus other cryptocurrencies for 2025.
&#8220;Do you think any of these cryptos will outperform XRP in 2025?&#8221; Benzinga asked.
These were the results:
<ul>
<li>Bitcoin: 28%</li>
<li>Solana: 15%</li>
<li>Dogecoin: 13%</li>
<li>Ethereum: 10%</li>
<li>Shiba Inu: 10%</li>
<li>Hedera: 1%</li>
<li>None of the Above: 24%</li>
</ul>
Bitcoin won the poll, with 28% of readers believing that the leading cryptocurrency will outperform the other options in 2025.
Ranking second in the poll was None of the Above, which means 24% of readers think XRP will outperform the other six cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin in 2025.

Ondo (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">ONDO</a>) is gaining traction, building on strong monthly gains fueled by advancements in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/tokenization">real-world asset sector.</a>
What Happened: Crypto chart analyst Ali Martinez attributes Ondo's parabolic rally to heightened interest in RWA tokenization and strategic moves like its investment in BlackRock&#8217;s BUIDL fund. 
This bullish sentiment <a href="https://x.com/ali_charts/status/1867139781055926418">suggests</a> sustained momentum:
<ul>
<li>Long-Term Outlook: Ondo is currently in a &#8220;Greed&#8221; phase, nearing &#8220;Euphoria,&#8221; with a 235% rally over the past month and minimal corrections. Using the TD Sequential indicator, Martinez predicts the token could reach $5–$7 in the next few months.</li>
<li>Short-Term Setup: After breaking a key risk line, Ondo signals bullish continuation. A slight pullback to $1.81 or $1.75 is possible, but the recovery points to further upside. The near-term target is $3.22, with potential for more gains.</li>
</ul>

Why It Matters: BounceBit has <a href="https://medium.com/@bouncebit/bouncebit-integrates-usdy-as-first-tokenized-rwa-297355db09e2">integrated</a> Ondo Finance's flagship tokenized U.S. Treasury products into its CeDeFi V2 platform, making Ondo the first treasury-backed RWA in the ecosystem. This integration underscores Ondo's pioneering role in bridging traditional finance with blockchain innovation.
With a 24-hour trading volume of $617.8 million, Ondo leads the RWA sector, highlighting its growing appeal among investors.

Why BriaCell Therapeutics (BCTX) Stock Is Down 40%

On Wednesday,&nbsp;Patient Square Capital, a healthcare investment firm, agreed to acquire&nbsp;Patterson Companies, Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PDCO#NASDAQ">PDCO</a>), a dental and animal health product distributor, for&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/12/b42433177/patterson-companies-announces-definitive-agreement-to-be-acquired-by-patient-square-capital-for-31" rel="noreferrer noopener">approximately $4.1 billion</a>.
During its second-quarter earnings release, the company announced it is exploring strategic options, including a sale or merger,&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42342667/dental-supplies-patterson-companies-evaluates-strategic-alternatives-after-mixed-q2-earnings-amid-challenging-end-market-environment" rel="noreferrer noopener">to boost shareholder value</a>.
William Blair notes that based on Patient Square Capital&#8217;s portfolio, which doesn&#8217;t include dental or animal health companies, regulatory hurdles for this deal are unlikely.
Additionally, the analyst&#8217;s dental valuation analysis suggests the offer for Patterson is strong, making it unlikely that higher bids will emerge during the 40-day window for competing offers.
The valuation analysis includes Align Technology Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALGN#NASDAQ">ALGN</a>), Dentsply Sirona Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XRAY#NASDAQ">XRAY</a>), Henry Schein Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HSIC#NASDAQ">HSIC</a>), Envista Holdings Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVST#NYSE">NVST</a>) and Europe-listed Straumann Holding.
William Blair writes that most dental companies they cover are trading at or near their lowest valuations in 15 years, as investor interest has declined due to ongoing macroeconomic challenges.
Most recently,&nbsp;Dentsply Sirona revised its 2024 outlook due to market pressures impacting U.S. equipment, legislative changes affecting the direct-to-consumer aligner business model, and the voluntary&nbsp;suspension of sales, marketing, and shipments of Byte Aligners <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/41814727/dentsply-sirona-stock-sinks-on-dismal-2024-guidance-blames-macroeconomic-competitiv" rel="noreferrer noopener">and Impression Kits</a>.
Henry Schein&#8217;s third-quarter global dental segment sales were $1.9 billion, down 1.6%, and medical segment sales increased by 2.9% (down 4.8% internally) <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/11/41752173/henry-schein-q3-earnings-sees-recovery-from-cyber-incident-says-dental-equipment-business-shows-sta" rel="noreferrer noopener">to $1.1 billion</a>.
While it&#8217;s still early to gauge investor reactions, the analyst is considering whether Patterson&#8217;s acquisition might stabilize valuations and boost demand in the dental sector.
The analyst writes the move could support valuations and signal a potential recovery in the market, making many dental stocks appealing from a risk/reward perspective.
Among these, William Blair sees Align as having the greatest potential for stock growth, driven by improving market conditions and gains in both earnings and valuation.

Today's Biggest Pre-Market Stock Movers: 10 Top Gainers and Losers on Wednesday

<a href="https://investorplace.com">InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice &amp; Trading Tips</a>
Nuburu (NYSEMKT:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/buru-stock-quote/">BURU</a>) stock is on the rise Wednesday alongside strong trading of the blue laser company&rsquo;s shares.



As of this writing, roughly 35 million shares of BURU stock have changed hands. That comes in above the company&rsquo;s daily average trading volume. It&rsquo;s also worth noting that the company&rsquo;s <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/BURU/key-statistics/">float is about 381,190 units</a>.



While there&rsquo;s no news today behind this movement, it could be tied to an announcement from a couple of days ago. That includes the company obtaining $500,000 in funding through an unsecured, subordinated convertible note.



<h2>Details of BURU Stock Note</h2>



This note has a 5% OID, 15% interest and a six-month maturity date. The face amount of the loan is $525,000. The note is also convertible to BURU stock for a 25% discount to a 10% premium to the shares&rsquo; price on execution or the lowest daily VWAP during the 10 days prior to conversion.



Esousa is behind the latest convertible note and also holds senior convertible notes for Nuburu. It agreed to extinguish $500,000 of these notes in exchange for the new convertible note.



It&rsquo;s also worth noting that Esousa is a 9.9% shareholder in BURU stock. This comes from the 729,299 shares owned by the company.



BURU stock is up 47% as of Wednesday morning.
