Elon Musk has voiced concerns over the future of American energy independence in response to his brother Kimball Musk and Jesse Peltan, co-founder and CTO of HODL Ranch, about the impact of new legislation on renewable energy growth.
What Happened: Kimball Musk&#8217;s post criticized President Donald Trump&#8216;s &#8216;Big, Beautiful Bill&#8217; that he believes will halt the growth of solar and wind energy in the United States. He argued that the bill would necessitate the construction of 25 new natural gas plants per year to replace the renewable energy growth that the bill would terminate.

Own.App, a new social media platform focused on creator monetization, has opened its public beta after drawing over 40,000 users to its waitlist during an invite-only trial. 
Now live on iOS and Android, the app uses blockchain infrastructure to enable performance-based earnings and true content ownership. 
Its algorithm prioritizes content discovery through engagement rather than follower count or ad spend, aiming to level the playing field for emerging creators.

Users can monetize through five built-in methods, including tipping, licensing, brand deals, an integrated shop, and tokenized rewards.
"We're not building another social app—we're building a new economy where creators are the platform," said Own. App CEO Amir Kaltak. "Own. App rewards talent, and gives every user a real stake in what they create."
The company designed the platform to provide global payout parity, content control, and direct ownership of both audiences and earnings.
Blockchain elements operate behind the scenes, though the app does not require users to engage directly with crypto infrastructure.
The company reported strong early adoption among creators aged 18–24, who are familiar with digital creation but often voice concerns about monetization and algorithmic visibility on mainstream platforms.
The development team includes individuals with prior experience at platforms such as TikTok, Tinder, and Bumble. 
Additional features under development include a token-based Creator Fund, advanced analytics, and expanded commerce tools for creators.
"At Bumble, we helped shift power in dating," said Sarah Mick, co-creator of Bumble and now Chief Creator Officer at Own. App. "At Own. App, we're shifting power in media. Creators are no longer just content machines—they're founders of their own brands."
The app&#8217;s broader positioning aligns with growing interest in decentralized social networks and new monetization models that reduce reliance on advertising or third-party sponsorships.
Beta access is being granted gradually, with onboarding instructions being sent to waitlisted users and new creators daily.

Beyond The Numbers: 11 Analysts Discuss Ferguson Enterprises Stock

Oracle Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>) and International Business Machines Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBM#NYSE">IBM</a>) may be staging their biggest comeback in years, according to senior Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives.
What Happened: During his recent appearance on the RiskReversal podcast on Tuesday, Ives drew parallels between the current trajectories of Oracle and IBM, and that of Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) prior to its breakout in mid-2023, when the AI momentum first began.
&#8220;I kind of view IBM and Oracle similar to how I viewed Microsoft in mid-2023,&#8221; Ives said, while adding that the broader AI tailwind is far from priced in. 
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45989297/elon-musks-x-sues-new-york-over-stop-hiding-hate-act-calls-disclosure-mandate-a-violation-of-free-speech">Elon Musk&#8217;s X Sues New York Over &#8216;Stop Hiding Hate&#8217; Act, Calls Disclosure Mandate A Violation Of Free Speech</a>
Ives believes there will be a wave of rotation into underappreciated AI beneficiaries such as Oracle and IBM as institutional investors play catch-up. 
&#8220;From an institutional perspective, especially when it comes to AI, I think you are seeing catch-up trades to Oracle. I think you're seeing it with IBM,&#8221; he says.
Ives highlighted that both firms have massive installed bases and their positioning within the enterprise AI sales cycle as reasons for the bullish outlook. He says they are now essentially AI infrastructure providers, not unlike Microsoft, during the early stages of Azure-OpenAI integration. 
Why It Matters: Last week, Oracle stunned the markets with its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/earnings/25/06/45893773/oracle-q4-earnings-revenue-eps-beat-estimates-cloud-infrastructure-growth-expected-to-accelerate-with-demand-skyrocketing">fourth quarter results</a>, with a beat on consensus estimates at the top and bottom lines, coupled with significantly better guidance for 2026. 
On Tuesday, Oracle announced the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45968405/oracle-launches-new-defense-program-to-help-us-military-tap-into-ai-and-cloud-tech"> launch of its Defense Ecosystem</a>, aimed at enhancing tech adoption in the defense and government sectors. 
IBM&#8217;s tactical foray into AI has similarly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45259042/ibm-thinks-big-ai-delivers-bigger-why-bulls-are-charging-toward-300">garnered praise</a> from analysts and investors, with Ives himself commenting on the stock, saying that he was &#8220;incrementally more bullish&#8221; following the IBM Think conference in Boston last month. He reiterated his &#8220;Outperform&#8221; rating on the stock, with a price target of $300, a 6% upside from current levels.
Price Action: Shares of Oracle were down 1.38% on Tuesday, trading at $208.18, while IBM closed up by 0.43%, at $283.05.

Dan Ives Says Oracle And IBM Are The 'New Microsoft' In Big Catch-Up Trade: 'Broader AI Tailwind Is Far From Priced In'

Personal finance expert Dave Ramsey is known for his no-nonsense, tough-love approach to getting out of debt. One of his most repeated catchphrases—"beans and rice, rice and beans"—has become a lightning rod for both praise and confusion. Now, Ramsey is addressing the biggest misconception about it.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">It's Not About The Food</h2>
&#8220;When I say, &#8216;beans and rice, rice and beans,&#8217; I don't actually mean only eat rice and beans,&#8221; Ramsey <a href="https://x.com/DaveRamsey/status/1933892123599749242">posted on X</a>. "What it represents is so much more than a low grocery bill. It's about short-term sacrifice for the long-term win.&#8221;

</ul>
For Ramsey, the phrase is code for cutting unnecessary spending and sticking to a strict budget in order to eliminate debt and build wealth. The core message is to live below your means now so you can thrive later.
Ramsey emphasizes that his advice isn&#8217;t complicated. &#8220;The stuff I talk about is not hard to understand. It's very hard to actually go and do it,&#8221; he wrote. According to him, real financial change begins with a firm decision to commit. &#8220;You've drawn a line in the sand, and you are NOT going back. No more excuses.&#8221;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Extreme Budgeting In Real Life</h2>
Some people are taking Ramsey's message to heart and applying it in the most literal way possible. For example, in one Reddit <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/budget/comments/1b4tay9/how_would_a_couple_get_away_with_only_spending/">thread</a>, a couple asked if it was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/01/42880871/a-couple-asks-can-you-get-away-with-spending-only-300-per-month-on-groceries-heres-what-people-said-most-agreed-on-this-one-thing">possible to spend only $300 per month on groceries</a>. Responses poured in from across the country. Most agreed it could be done, but only by embracing a strict, no-frills diet: rice, beans, pasta and potatoes. That meant cooking everything from scratch, buying in bulk, and skipping snacks, soda and alcohol.
Trending: Invest where it hurts — and help millions heal:<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/a-cure-for-osteoarthritis-powered-by-everyday-investors-cytonics-is-looking-to-beat-big-pharma-and-disrupt-a-390-billion-market"> Invest in Cytonics and help disrupt a $390B Big Pharma stronghold</a>.
One user put it plainly: &#8220;I see people check out carts full of beverages. It&#8217;s amazing how much people spend on soda and beer.&#8221;
Some said they manage to keep costs low by shopping at Aldi or Costco (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COST#NASDAQ">COST</a>), using coupons, and avoiding brand names. A family of two in California shared that they stick to a $250 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45517752/dave-ramsey-whatever-you-think-youre-spending-at-the-grocery-store-youre-wrong-its-more-than-that">monthly grocery budget</a> by drinking filtered water, eating at home, and cutting out convenience items. Others admitted that while it's technically doable, the lack of variety and nutritional concerns make it tough to sustain long-term.
Some critics say Ramsey is too harsh, but his supporters argue that his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44133292/it-takes-money-to-make-money-is-an-excuse-broke-people-make-dave-ramseys-response-to-caller-seeking-advice-about-200k-inheritance">direct style</a> pushes people to face their financial reality. As he points out, it's not about depriving yourself forever. It's about cutting back now so you can live with peace of mind later.
In his own words: &#8220;You're ready to make your money work for YOU, not the other way around. Are you ready to change your life?&#8221;
Whether it&#8217;s callers on his show or couples on Reddit trying to slash grocery budgets, Ramsey&#8217;s philosophy resonates with those willing to sacrifice now for a better future. His advice may be simple in theory, but the commitment it demands is real, and for many, the results are worth it.

Some analysts also offer predictions for helpful metrics such as earnings, revenue, and growth estimates to provide further guidance as to what to do with certain tickers. It is important to keep in mind that while stock and sector analysts are specialists, they are also human and can only forecast their beliefs to traders.

Beyond The Numbers: 6 Analysts Discuss American Public Education Stock

Casey's General Stores's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CASY#NYSE">CASY</a>) short percent of float has fallen 4.28% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 1.30 million shares sold short, which is 3.58% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 4.05 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Casey's General Stores Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1750255283_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Casey's General Stores has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Casey's General Stores's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Casey's General Stores's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 6.17%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

How Is The Market Feeling About Casey's General Stores?

In the current session, the stock is trading at $42.88, after a 1.47% increase. Over the past month, Range Resources Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RRC#NYSE">RRC</a>) stock increased by 9.05%, and in the past year, by 25.90%. With performance like this, long-term shareholders are optimistic but others are more likely to look into the price-to-earnings ratio to see if the stock might be overvalued.

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1750255282_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>How Does Range Resources P/E Compare to Other Companies?</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Range Resources has a better P/E ratio of 38.07 than the aggregate P/E ratio of 20.1 of the Oil, Gas &amp; Consumable Fuels industry. Ideally, one might believe that Range Resources Inc. might perform better in the future than it's industry group, but it's probable that the stock is overvalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1750255282_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.
