Back in June 2022, inflation was raging, the S&amp;P 500 had officially slipped into a bear market, and <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/05/technology/bitcoin-price-record-high.html">Bitcoin had tanked below $20,000</a>. While Wall Street debated whether it was a "soft landing" or a full-on disaster, Robert Kiyosaki had different advice: skip the gold and forget Bitcoin — buy canned tuna.
In a <a href="https://x.com/ramit/status/1875560750099656715/photo/1">now-infamous post on X</a>, the "Rich Dad Poor Dad" author wrote:
"Best INVESTMENT: Cans of Tuna Fish. Inflation about to take off. Best investments are cans of tuna &amp; baked beans. You can't eat gold, silver, or Bitcoin. You can eat cans of tuna and baked beans. Food most important. Starvation next problem. Invest in the solution. Take care."

Kiyosaki has never shied away from alarm bells. He's long warned of "fake money," an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/02/43759418/robert-kiyosaki-predicts-wall-street-crash-and-layoffs-prepare-for-market-crash-depression-and-war">inevitable market collapse</a>, and the downfall of the Federal Reserve. But the tuna tweet hit differently. In the middle of a historic inflation spike —<a href="https://www.bls.gov/opub/ted/2022/consumer-prices-up-9-1-percent-over-the-year-ended-june-2022-largest-increase-in-40-years.htm"> 9.1% in June 2022 </a>— and widespread panic over rate hikes, the idea of hoarding baked beans as a hedge suddenly didn't sound that absurd.
Until it did.
Fast-forward to 2025: Bitcoin has smashed past $100,000, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45589015/bitcoin-rockets-to-record-highs-amid-trumps-commitment-and-swedens-corporate-treasury-move">hitting an all-time high of $111,970</a> in May. Gold and silver have climbed as well, and the market — while still volatile — has staged a furious rebound. Tuna, meanwhile, hasn't exactly doubled in value. Unless you count the price of a Costco pack during a supply chain scare.
That brings us to the punchline.
Trending: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/this-ai-imaging-technology-has-been-used-in-more-than-500-surgeries-now-you-can-be-part-of-the-ai-imaging-revolution">Be part of the next med-tech breakthrough for only $350 — 500+ surgeries already done with nView's AI system.</a>
Ramit Sethi — author of "I Will Teach You To Be Rich," host of a Netflix series, and a finance YouTuber known for calling out bad money advice — resurfaced the tweet <a href="https://x.com/ramit/status/1875560750099656715">with a sarcastic follow-up</a>:
"Robert what about the cans of tuna fish that you told us were the best investment?? I put my life savings into them as you advised! Please let me know if that was a good decision!!"
Whether or not anyone actually bet their future on StarKist is beside the point. The exchange highlights a very real tension: in a world where financial advice gets more extreme by the day, sometimes the safest investment might just be a little skepticism.
Or at the very least, a diversified pantry.

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

Broadcom Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVG#NASDAQ">AVG</a>) announced on Tuesday that it is <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/06/g45745238/broadcom-ships-tomahawk-6-worlds-first-102-4-tbps-switch" rel="noreferrer noopener">now shipping the</a> Tomahawk&nbsp;6 switch series, which delivers 102.4 Terabits/sec of switching capacity in a single chip.
Tomahawk 6 is built to power the next generation of scale-up and scale-out AI networks, delivering unmatched flexibility with support for 100G/200G SerDes and co-packaged optics (CPO).

Kunjan Sobhani, lead semiconductor analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence, said that by breaking the 100Tbps barrier and unifying scale-up and scale-out Ethernet, Broadcom&#8217;s Tomahawk 6 gives hyperscalers an open, standards-based fabric and a clear, flexible path to the next wave of AI infrastructure.
Ram Velaga, senior vice president and general manager of Broadcom&#8217;s Core Switching Group, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-06-03/broadcom-avgo-ships-gear-meant-to-improve-nvidia-nvda-ai-chip-performance?sref=TBDibEcD" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">told</a> Bloomberg that the new chip&#8217;s cost is more than double that of the old one. Customers will pay about twice as much, he said. Velaga said it would be under $20,000 apiece.
Broadcom&nbsp;stock surged over 90% in the last 12 months, backed by the AI frenzy.
BofA Securities analyst Vivek Arya chose Broadcom&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/05/45673288/when-nvidia-wins-broadcom-climbs-ai-boom-sends-chip-stocks-soaring" rel="noreferrer noopener">as a favorite</a>, citing demand for AI computing with an additional tailwind from the ongoing shift toward compute-hungry test-time computing and reasoning models.

Broadcom Tomahawk 6 Flexes AI Muscle, Hyperscalers Are Buying In

Treasury yields are climbing again, but this time it&#8217;s not just about inflation or the Fed. It&#8217;s about politics, policy, and a little something <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/bonds">called &#8220;bond vigilance.&#8221;</a>
As President Donald Trump's team flexes its fiscal muscle, pushing tax legislation and emphasizing long-term debt discipline, Wall Street is reading the tea leaves. It&#8217;s sprinting to the front of the yield curve. The BNP Paribas forecast of a 4.25% 10-year yield by the end of 2025 isn't helping investor nerves. 
But for many, the strategy is simple: don't fight the yield, just keep it short.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The $25 Billion Bill Binge</h2>
In 2025 alone, investors have poured over $25 billion into ultra-short bond ETFs like the iShares 0-3 Month Treasury Bond ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SGOV#NYSE">SGOV</a>). Inflows into ultra-short bond ETFs were second only to the S&amp;P 500 ETF in new inflows this year, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/06/01/investors-big-short-treasury-bets-warren-buffett.html">reported</a> CNBC. The SPDR Bloomberg 1-3 Month T-Bill ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BIL#NYSE">BIL</a>) and the Vanguard Short-Term Bond Index Fund ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BSV#NYSE">BSV</a>) aren't far behind. 
Why the rush into these seemingly sleepy securities? Because they&#8217;re quietly delivering—and investors have noticed.
The 3-month T-Bill now yields over 4.3% &#8211; higher than the 2-year and nearly matching the 10-year, without the duration risk. In a year dominated by uncertainty over the Fed's path, policy whiplash, and geopolitical noise &#8211; stability and predictability are the real alpha. 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Warren Buffett Owns 5% Of The Market</h2>
"Long duration just doesn't work right now," says Strategas Securities' Todd Sohn. Warren Buffett seems to agree—his Berkshire Hathaway Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) now <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/05/11/berkshire-now-owns-5percent-of-treasury-bill-market-as-buffett-waits-for-prey.html">owns</a> a stunning 5% of the entire short-term T-bill market.
And behind the scenes, Trump's advisors are reportedly focused on keeping long-term rates in check. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has signaled a pivot toward more short-term debt issuance and regulatory tweaks to ease pressure on yields. 
BNP Paribas strategist Tim High calls it "bond vigilance," a sort of fiscal hawkishness that aims to calm the bond market without relying on the Fed.
But for the market, that vigilance is turning into a signal. The long end may be politically volatile, but the front end is flush with yield &#8211; and less drama. Investors chasing safety, yield, and clarity have found a perfect storm in 0-3 month paper.
Call it the year of the ultra-short bond: it's catching Buffett's eye, staying on Trump's radar, and winning over Wall Street.

Ripple's (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/xrp/usd">XRP</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/42783990/heres-how-ripples-rlusd-launch-has-affected-the-xrp-price">U.S. dollar-backed stablecoin RLUSD</a> has received regulatory approval from the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA), allowing it to be used as a legal payment mechanism within the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC).
This marks a significant expansion of Ripple's presence in the Middle East as it positions itself to tap into the region's growing demand for regulated digital finance infrastructure.
The DFSA's <a href="https://ripple.com/ripple-press/rlusd-stablecoin-dfsa-approval/">approval</a> means Ripple can now integrate RLUSD into its licensed payment platform within the DIFC.
The move opens the door for over 7,000 companies based in the financial zone to leverage Ripple's stablecoin for cross-border transactions and digital asset services.
Ripple had previously secured authorization to operate in the United Arab Emirates' international payments sector, which handles over $40 billion annually. 
Now, it is enhancing its regional partnerships to solidify adoption. 
Local firms such as the digital bank Zand and the fintech startup Mamo are poised to be among the first to utilize RLUSD in practical applications.

The company is also working with Ctrl Alt, a digital infrastructure provider, and the Dubai Land Department on initiatives to tokenize property ownership documents on the XRP Ledger.
RLUSD, launched in December 2024, is fully backed by U.S. dollar reserves and approved by the New York Department of Financial Services. 
It was initially made available on Uphold and later added to platforms like Kraken. 
Currently, RLUSD has a market capitalization of $310 million and competes in a global stablecoin market valued at $250 billion, largely led by Tether's (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">USDT</a>) and Circle's (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">USDC</a>).
Jack McDonald, Ripple's senior vice president of stablecoins, said the DFSA's green light reflects the company's dedication to supporting Dubai's ambitions in digital financial leadership. 
Reece Merrick, Ripple's regional managing director, noted an uptick in institutional interest for crypto-related payment and custody services across the Middle East.

Ciena Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CIEN#NYSE">CIEN</a>) will report its second-quarter results on Thursday, June 5, before the market opens.
According to Rosenblatt Securities, the company is likely to report healthy results and guidance, slightly ahead of consensus, "driven by strong Cloud Provider revenues and orders and solid Service Provider revenue and orders."
The Ciena Analyst: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/628b6bab3547bd000104dc00/mike-genovese">Analyst Mike Genovese</a> reaffirmed a Neutral rating, while raising the price target from $65 to $85.
The Ciena Thesis: The company is likely to report its revenue slightly higher than expectations of $1.09 billion, representing 20% year-on-year growth and 2% sequential growth, Genovese said in the note.
Check out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">other analyst stock ratings</a>.
Ciena could keep its backlog consistent with the prior quarter, at $2.3 billion, "or even slightly growing backlog, due to strong orders," he added.
The consensus estimates for gross margin, operating margin and earnings are 42.6%, 10.0% and 52 cents per share, all of which "look slightly beatable," the analyst stated.
"We think the company may raise its FY25 revenue guidance slightly above 8% to 11%, but we do not expect it to increase the 3-year guidance yet as it likely works to keep expectations in check until it is closer to launching initial Data Center transceiver products in 2H26," he further wrote.
CIEN Price Action: Shares of Ciena had risen by 0.73% to $82.35 at the time of publication on Tuesday.

The Invesco QQQ Trust, Series 1 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), Wall Street's go-to tech fund, just recorded its second-largest monthly inflow on record, as investors chased an impressive rally in the Nasdaq 100 index powered by a trade war truce <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/new-etfs/25/06/45722678/magnificent-seven-closed-a-blockbuster-may-added-nearly-2-trillion-in-market-value">and Magnificent Seven dominance.</a>
The QQQ ETF pulled in $7.2 billion of net inflows in May, according to TradingView&#8217;s fund flow data. That marks the second-largest monthly inflow in the ETF's 10-year history, only trailing November 2024's $9.2 billion surge that followed Donald Trump's presidential victory.
Fueled by a 9% rally in the Nasdaq 100 — its best month since November 2023 — the fund crossed $330 billion in assets under management, consolidating its position as the fifth-largest ETF globally.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What Sparked The Inflows?</h3>
The rally followed a breakthrough in U.S.-China trade relations. On May 11, both countries agreed to a 90-day trade truce, slashing average tariff rates by 115 percentage points.
U.S. tariffs on Chinese goods dropped from 145% to 30%, while Beijing reduced duties on American imports from 125% to 10%.
"The temporary deal puts greater pressure on the two countries to develop a mutually amicable agreement," LPL Financial chief economist Jeffrey Roach said in a recent note.
The deal provided immediate relief to export-heavy sectors — especially tech hardware, semiconductors and software services — and helped fuel the Nasdaq's broad-based rally.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Magnificent Seven&#8217;s Dominance Strengthens</h3>
The Magnificent Seven stocks played a central role in QQQ's surge, continuing the momentum from their historic $1.75 trillion of combined market-cap gain in May.
Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) jumped 23.5%, becoming the second-best performing Nasdaq 100 stock in the month. 
Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) gained 20.9%, while Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) and Microsoft Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NYSE">MSFT</a>) posted monthly gains of 19.4% and 16.5% respectively.
These megacap tech names are viewed by institutional investors as &#8220;defensive growth proxies&#8221;, according to Goldman Sachs' Ryan Hammond, citing their strong earnings and relevance in AI, cloud computing and enterprise infrastructure.
Roundhill Investments CEO David Mazza, whose firm manages the Roundhill Magnificent Seven ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MAGS#NYSE">MAGS</a>), said these companies "aren't speculative bets on future adoption," but rather, "staples within global consumers' lives."

Why It's Important: The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust remained the most-searched ticker for a second straight month. Nvidia also ranked second for a second straight month.
New to the top three in May was Palantir, which jumped from seventh place in April to third place in May. The ticker has been popular among investors and ranked in the top 10 each month this year. The third-place ranking is the top for Palantir in 2025.
Tesla fell from third to fourth place, following a fall in April from first to third place. With the highly anticipated launch of Tesla robotaxis in June, the stock could attract more attention and find its way back into the top three spots.
The list of the top 10 most-searched tickers in May included five new stocks compared to the list from April. This included Super Micro Computer jumping back into the top 10 after falling out of the top 20 in April. The stock has been popular among investors this year and saw its highest place on the list since February during the month of May.
D-Wave, a quantum computing stock, also returned to the top 10, ranking 8th in May. Hims &amp; Hers also moved back into the top 10, ranking ninth after previously being outside the top 20 in March and April and ranking 9th in February.
New to the top 10 in May that hadn't been in the top 20 any month this year were United Health and Asset Entities. United Health saw an executive transition announced and was reported to be the subject of a DOJ investigation, a claim the company later denied.
Asset Entities announced a merger and plans to become a Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45550814/asset-entities-stock-has-skyrocketed-over-the-last-month-whats-going-on">holding treasury company</a>. SharpLink, which ranked 13th, also made a similar announcement but instead of investing in Bitcoin, the company <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/cannabis/25/05/45695750/sharplink-gaming-sbet-stock-soars-over-2600-in-a-week-on-ethereum-treasury-deal">is establishing an </a>Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) treasury.
CoreWeave, which went public on March 28, narrowly missed out on the top 10 with an 11th-place ranking for the month of May. The ranking could signal continued popularity for the cloud computing company a month after its IPO.
Advanced Micro Devices, Invesco QQQ Trust and Amazon.com were the three tickers in the 11th to 20th rankings that previously ranked in the top 20 in April, coming in at 18th, 4th and 13th, respectively.
This marked a significant fall for the Invesco QQQ Trust, which ranked fourth in March and April. This could signal less interest in the Nasdaq 100 and technology stocks during the month.
