Memecoins inspired by GameStop Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GME#NYSE">GME</a>) popped Thursday as Bitcoin's (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) record-breaking rally energized the cryptocurrency market.
What happened: Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>)-based GameStop (GME) was up nearly 40% in the last 24 hours, hitting a more than three-week high, <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/gamestop/">according</a> to CoinMarketCap.
The coin's market capitalization exceeded $27 million, while the 24-hour trading volume spiked 65% to $1.5 million.
Notably, a BNB Chain (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/bnb/usd">BNB</a>)-based token, having the same name but a much larger market capitalization, rose exponentially only to <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/gamestopcoin-net/">lose 86%</a> of its value overnight. As of this writing, it was down 62% in the last 24 hours.
Note that the token is unrelated to GameStop and merely seeks to capitalize on the hype surrounding the meme stock.
That said, there appeared to be little development on the company&#8217;s side to support such a rally. In fact, the coin may have surged due to broader meme-driven speculation and optimism <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/25/07/46358899/bitcoin-breaks-116000-ethereum-dogecoin-soar-as-crypto-investors-shrug-off-tariff-concerns-analyst-says-this-is-your-last-chance-to-catch-eths-breakout">following Bitcoin&#8217;s move past $116,000</a>.

GameStop-Themed Crypto Surges Nearly 40% As Bitcoin Highs Fuel Frenzy

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) has announced November 6 as the date for the company's annual shareholder meeting amid mounting pressure from investors who are concerned about Elon Musk's political ambitions and mounting tensions with President Donald Trump.
Check out the current price of <a href="https://benzinga.com/quote/tsla">TSLA stock here</a>.
What Happened: "The board of directors of Tesla has designated November 6, 2025 as the date of Tesla's 2025 annual meeting of shareholders," a filing by the EV giant with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission or SEC showed on Thursday.
The company will also present its proxy statement during the meeting, the filing shows.

Amid the news hitting the wires, Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives weighed in on the matter in a post on social media platform X on Thursday. "Now the Musk new pay package will be the focus," Ives said in the post.
The pay package in question reportedly stands at over $56 billion, which was awarded to Musk following Tesla&#8217;s growth, a Reuters report from March suggests. The Tesla board approved Musk&#8217;s pay package, which could be among the highest CEO payouts ever, on two separate occasions.
Musk&#8217;s pay package was awarded to the CEO in 2018. However, a member of the Tesla board had filed a lawsuit objecting to the compensation for Musk. A court ruling in Delaware, Texas, rejected the pay package last year. Musk has since appealed to restore it.

Why It Matters: The date for the investors' meeting comes in after the Tesla BoD faced pressure from shareholders, with a group of 27 investors recently writing a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46335587/tesla-investors-call-for-shareholder-meeting-amid-elon-musk-trump-feud-declining-sales-report">letter to the board</a>, urging it to set up a date for the annual shareholder meeting.
Tesla has also been under fire from analysts, with Gerber Kawasaki's co-founder Ross Gerber slamming Musk, claiming that the CEO has "<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46337215/tesla-is-basically-hijacked-by-elon-musk-says-ross-gerber-calling-it-completely-ridiculous-america-party-is-the-worst-news-for-tsla">hijacked the company</a>" and that his America Party will be "an abject failure."
Ives, who has maintained Bullish views on the company, also called on the Tesla board to set up a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst-color/25/07/46305934/musk-tells-tesla-analyst-dan-ives-to-shut-up-but-hes-not-backing-down-this-is-the-time-for-a-plan">25% voting control for Musk</a> and maintain oversight of his involvement in politics.

Tesla's Annual Shareholder Meeting Set For November 6th, Dan Ives Says Elon Musk's $56 Billion Pay Package 'Will Be The Focus'

The CNN Money Fear and Greed index showed some improvement in the overall market sentiment, while the index remained in the &#8220;Extreme Greed&#8221; zone on Thursday.
U.S. stocks settled higher on Thursday, with the S&amp;P 500 closing at an all-time high level during the session. A day earlier, President Donald Trump announced sweeping 50% tariffs on imports from Brazil and confirmed the 50% tariff on copper, effective Aug. 1.
Delta Air Lines Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>) surged around 12% on Thursday after posting second-quarter results that topped both earnings and revenue expectations, while indicating a strong demand outlook, sparking a broad rally across the airline sector.
On the economic data front, the U.S. labor market continued to show resilience as initial jobless claims dropped to 237,000 last week, beating forecasts. However, continuing claims rose to 1.965 million, the highest level since 2021.
Most sectors on the S&amp;P 500 closed on a positive note, with consumer discretionary, utilities and energy stocks recording the biggest gains on Thursday. However, communication services and information technology stocks bucked the overall market trend, closing the session lower.
The Dow Jones closed higher by 192 points to 44,650.64 on Thursday. The S&amp;P 500 rose 0.27% to 6,280.46, while the Nasdaq Composite gained 0.09% to 20,630.66 during Thursday's session.
What is CNN Business Fear &amp; Greed Index?
At a current reading of 76.5, the index remained in the &#8220;Extreme Greed&#8221; zone on Thursday, versus a prior reading of 75.2.
The Fear &amp; Greed Index is a measure of the current market sentiment. It is based on the premise that higher fear exerts pressure on stock prices, while higher greed has the opposite effect. The index is calculated based on seven equal-weighted indicators. The index ranges from 0 to 100, where 0 represents maximum fear and 100 signals maximum greediness.

S&P 500 Settles At Record High As Delta Air Lines Stock Surges: Fear & Greed Index Remains In 'Extreme Greed' Zone

Sen.&nbsp;Elizabeth Warren&nbsp;(D-Mass.) criticized President Donald Trump&#8217;s push for cryptocurrency legislation on Thursday, alleging that it serves his personal interests.
What Happened: During an interview with MSNBC, Warren&nbsp;said that the cryptocurrency industry wants Trump to lift the market, similar to how he was &#8220;hawking&#8221; Elon Musk&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44240714/trump-says-he-will-buy-a-brand-new-tesla-to-support-elon-musk-as-stock-falls-over-53-erasing-nearly-800-billion-in-investor-wealth-since-december-peak">cars at one point</a>.
&#8220;They want Trump not just to hawk their individual product. They want his support and the Republicans in Congress&#8217;s support to build an infrastructure that will let them rake in literally billions and billions of dollars,&#8221; the senior Democrat said.
Warren stated that no elected official should be able to buy, sell and profit from cryptocurrency.

The lawmaker said that Trump is pushing for cryptocurrency legislation to &#8220;keep lining his own pocket&#8221; and reiterated that no laws should be passed without addressing his conflict of interest.
The White House didn&#8217;t immediately return Benzinga&#8217;s request for comment on these allegations.

Above Food Ingredients Keeps On Rallying After 335% Spike On Thursday — Stock Rises 130% In After-Hours Session

Y Combinator chief executive Garry Tan says college entrepreneurs who adopt a "fake-it-till-you-make-it" playbook risk following Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes and FTX creator Sam Bankman-Fried "straight to jail."
What Happened: Speaking during a live taping of the accelerator's Lightcone podcast at YC's AI Startup School, Tan blasted unnamed university programs that he says encourage students to embellish traction and "lie to investors."
"I'm very worried about them because what we're coming to understand is they are teaching you to lie," he told an audience of undergrads and Ph.D. candidates. "Software is the most empowering thing in the world. Why do you have to lie?"

Tan, whose seed fund has backed Airbnb, Reddit and DoorDash , warned that fraud scandals have already tarnished tech's image. "That's a waste of time, and you're going to go to jail," he said, invoking <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/22/01/24872838/former-theranos-ceo-elizabeth-holmes-found-guilty-on-four-charges-of-fraud">Holmes' 11-year sentence</a> and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/05/45614311/fraudster-sam-bankman-fried-set-to-leave-prison-four-years-early-as-good-conduct-credits-trim-his-25-year-sentence">Bankman-Fried's 25-year term</a>. "They don't represent us!" he added to applause.

Why It Matters: YC managing director Jared Friedman echoed the critique, arguing that classroom formulas produce a "cheap facsimile" of real startups because "anytime you try to bottle up entrepreneurship and teach it as a college course, what you end up with is a method, not a company."
Tan also faulted campuses for barring next-generation tools such as AI code editors. Group partner Diana Hu asked how many students could use Cursor and only a handful raised their hands. &#8220;They&#8217;re quite literally prohibiting the students from learning the tools that they are going to need,&#8221; Friedman said.
The debate lands as regulators tighten scrutiny of startup disclosures after high-profile collapses. Holmes was convicted in 2022 of defrauding investors in her blood-testing firm, according to Reuters and began serving an 11-year term last May. Bankman-Fried was sentenced in March to 25 years for an $8 billion crypto fraud.

Y Combinator Invested In The Likes Of Coinbase, Reddit And AirBnb, Now Its CEO Has A Serious Warning For Students With A 'Fake It Till You Make It' Motto

Brazil&#8217;s President, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, issued a warning Thursday about potential retaliatory tariffs if the U.S. proceeds with its planned 50% tax on Brazilian imports from Aug. 1.
What Happened: Lula stated via his official X handle that Brazil would take the necessary measures to &#8220;protect its people and its companies.&#8221;
&#8220;The Brazilian people must be respected. Brazilian justice must be respected.&#8221; Lula said, &#8220;We are a great, sovereign country with a historic tradition of diplomacy with all nations.&#8221;
&#8220;And don&#8217;t have any doubt that first we will try to negotiate, but if there is no negotiation, the law of reciprocity will be put into practice,&#8221; the Brazilian president stated in an interview with local media. &#8220;If he&#8217;s [Trump] going to charge us 50, we&#8217;re going to charge him 50.&#8221;

Meanwhile, Brazil&#8217;s Finance Minister,&nbsp;Fernando Haddad, is trying to defuse the growing tensions. He expressed confidence that any dispute &#8220;can&nbsp;and must be overcome through&nbsp;diplomacy,&#8221; Reuters reported.
Why It Matters: This development follows a flare-up in tensions between the U.S. and Brazil after President Donald Trump sent a letter to Lula, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/macro-economic-events/25/07/46334793/trump-sends-lula-a-letter-imposing-50-tariffs-calls-bolsonaro-trial-a-witch-hunt-brazils-president-hits-back-will-not-accept-any-form-of-tutelage">threatening to impose</a> 50% tariffs on Brazilian imports. 
Trump accused Brazil of &#8220;insidious attacks on free elections&#8221; and dubbed the trial of former President&nbsp;Jair Bolsonaro a &#8220;witch hunt.&#8221;
The proposed tariffs have begun to impact the Brazilian economy, with shares of Brazilian aircraft manufacturer Embraer S.A. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ERJ#NYSE">ERJ</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/travel/25/07/46357953/trumps-50-tariffs-send-this-jet-maker-into-a-tailspin">plunging in Thursday&#8217;s regular trading</a>. As the world&#8217;s third-largest aircraft maker, Embraer heavily relies on the U.S. market, making it particularly vulnerable to these proposed trade measures.
Price Action: Shares of iShares MSCI Brazil ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EWZ#NYSE">EWZ</a>) closed 1.56% lower at $27.72 on Thursday, while Embraer slid 4.65%.

MP Materials, Coreweave, Levi Strauss, United Airlines, And AMD: Why These 5 Stocks Are On Investors' Radars Today

A 35-year-old physician earning $350,000 a year has saved $1.3 million and is now wondering if it&#8217;s time to stop playing it so safe and finally splurge on the dream car he&#8217;s always wanted: a Lamborghini.
&#8220;I don&#8217;t want to look back and think, &#8216;I wish I had spent more and had fun when I was young,'&#8221; the doctor wrote in a popular Reddit post on <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/whitecoatinvestor/comments/1lualig/i_have_saved_13m_dollars_at_35_time_to_buy_a/">r/whitecoatinvestor</a>, a subreddit filled with financially savvy medical professionals.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Wrestling With Responsibility And Regret</h2>
&#8220;You want to blow 30-40% of what you made in a decade in a single afternoon?&#8221; one person asked bluntly. Another said, &#8220;Lambo money is $1M a year or more. This is like a barista buying a Birkin bag.&#8221;
Still, not everyone was against the idea. Many encouraged the physician to explore the fantasy without committing outright. One of the top responses suggested spending $1,000 or $2,000 to test drive a variety of exotic cars. &#8220;Try them all at 150 mph and see if that's enough for you,&#8221; the commenter said.
Others recommended a more practical splurge. &#8220;A really high-end car will turn heads but it comes at like a $150K premium to something you can use that will also turn heads and drive to what is your likely capability,&#8221; one commenter said, suggesting a Porsche 911 or BMW M4 as middle-ground options.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Case For Caution</h2>
Plenty of people pointed out that while $1.3 million is an impressive savings milestone, it may not justify a purchase as extravagant as a Lamborghini. One financial planner shared that a client with $2.5 million in investments still struggled with the idea of splurging. &#8220;She ended up settling on a trip of a lifetime. We still talk about it to this day.&#8221;
&#8220;If you worked hard your entire life with the explicit purpose to buy a Lambo, then maybe you should do it,&#8221; another person said. &#8220;However, I like cars quite a bit but would still never spend that much at that net worth.&#8221;
A few were more philosophical. &#8220;Sometimes it&#8217;s not about generational wealth or even wealth beyond need. Sometimes it&#8217;s just life. You really only do live once. Let no one influence your enjoyment of such.&#8221;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Used, Leased Or Just Rented?</h2>
Even those supportive of the idea urged the doctor not to buy new. &#8220;Buy a used Huracan for $200K. The first owner took the depreciation hit. Keep it a couple years and resell for $180K,&#8221; one user advised. &#8220;Costs you $20K in depreciation vs $100K in depreciation.&#8221;
And then there were the skeptics who had been there and done that. One Porsche owner said his 911 mostly sat in the garage and was eventually sold. &#8220;I loved my Toyota Tundra so much, the Porsche sat in the garage for six years and only got 20K miles.&#8221;
Ultimately, the community's message boiled down to this: Don't let fear of missing out or burnout push you into a massive decision. Rent first, try it out, and if you love it, go for it. Just don't expect the Lambo to solve anything deeper.

Analyst Notes: Blockchain analytics firm Santiment said that despite Bitcoin's record highs, traders are not keen to shift coins back onto exchanges for profit-taking.
On the contrary, the last four months have seen a net drop of 21% in BTC on exchanges.
"The trend of coins staying off exchanges is a sign that the threat of sudden market plummets is more limited, and long-term investors are increasingly content to keep their coins safe in personal storage for the long run," Santiment added.

Widely followed cryptocurrency analyst and trader Ali Martinez stated this might be the "last chance" to catch Ethereum's breakout.
"Right now, ETH is sitting in the middle of a parallel channel. If momentum builds, it has a good chance of rising to $4,000," Martinez projected.

Bitcoin Breaks $116,000, Ethereum, Dogecoin Soar As Crypto Investors Shrug Off Tariff Concerns: Analyst Says This Is Your 'Last Chance' To Catch ETH's Breakout

On Thursday, Cathie Wood-led Ark Invest made significant trades involving Tempus AI Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TEM#NASDAQ">TEM</a>), Coinbase Global Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>), Robinhood Markets Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HOOD#NASDAQ">HOOD</a>), and Block Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XYZ#NYSE">XYZ</a>).
The Tempus AI Trade saw Ark Invest making a notable acquisition of shares in the healthcare AI company. The trades were executed through the ARK Genomic Revolution ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKG#BATS">ARKG</a>) and ARK Innovation ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKK#BATS">ARKK</a>). Ark added a total of 16,277 shares of Tempus AI, with 2,233 shares purchased by ARKG and 14,044 shares by ARKK. This move comes amid ongoing criticism from CNBC&#8217;s Jim Cramer, who has repeatedly questioned the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46354006/cathie-wood-vs-jim-cramer-tv-host-says-top-ark-ai-pick-losing-money-hand-over-fist">profitability of Tempus AI</a> in 2025. Despite the skepticism, Tempus AI&#8217;s first-quarter financial results were promising, with revenue reaching $255.74 million, exceeding estimates. The total value of Ark&#8217;s purchase on this day was nearly $970,109, based on the stock&#8217;s closing price of $59.60.
Notably, on Wednesday, Ark had purchased Tempus shares worth $8.8 million.
The Coinbase Trade involved Ark Invest selling 16,627 shares of the cryptocurrency-trading platform through the ARKK ETF. This decision aligns with concerns over a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/downgrades/25/07/46349905/why-coinbases-huge-rally-might-be-done">potential decline in crypto trading activity</a>, which could impact Coinbase&#8217;s stock performance. As Coinbase approaches its second-quarter earnings report, market analysts are cautious about the company&#8217;s ability to meet expectations. The total value of the shares sold was $6.5 million, based on the stock&#8217;s closing price of $388.96.
The Robinhood Trade included the sale of 58,504 shares of the retail-oriented trading platform via the ARKK ETF. This comes after Robinhood&#8217;s recent <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/07/46351536/you-can-stake-ethereum-solana-on-robinhood-but-is-it-worth-the-25-cut">introduction of staking services</a> for Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) and Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>), allowing users to earn rewards by contributing their crypto holdings. The total value of the shares sold was $5.8 million. The stock ended the day at $98.7 on Thursday.
The Block Trade saw Ark Invest offloading 24,780 shares of the Jack Dorsey-led company through the ARKK ETF. This move follows a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/broad-u-s-equity-etfs/25/07/46334675/cathie-wood-dumps-jack-dorseys-block-as-bitcoin-flirts-with-all-time-highs-bets-8-8-million-on-tempus-ai">previous significant sale</a> of Block shares on Wednesday as Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) neared all-time highs. That trade was worth $6.6 million.
Ark&#8217;s decision to reduce its stake in Block could be construed as a shift in focus towards other investment opportunities. The total value of the shares sold was $1.7 million. Block stock ended the day $68.76.
Other Key Trades:
<ul class="wp-block-list">

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Investors Are Digging Into Industrial, Insurance And Grocery Stocks</h2>
Plenty of Reddit users responded with names most mainstream investors overlook. These weren't meme stocks or hot IPOs, but legacy industrials, auto parts retailers, and HVAC firms.
&#8220;Before the most recent sell-off Berkshire was at 194% in 5 years,&#8221; one investor noted about Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>, BRK.B)). &#8220;Sitting at 165% right now. Better than all the Mag 7 except Nvidia and Meta (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>). Boring as hell and doing rock solid.&#8221;
Several mentioned Parker-Hannifin (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PH#NYSE">PH</a>), which <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/news/25/07/46255383/1000-invested-in-parker-hannifin-10-years-ago-would-be-worth-this-much-today">specializes in motion and control technologies</a>. Others highlighted <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/news/25/07/46226856/heres-how-much-100-invested-in-ingersoll-rand-5-years-ago-would-be-worth-today">Ingersoll Rand</a> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IR#NYSE">IR</a>), <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/analyst-ratings/25/07/46209128/breaking-down-eaton-corp-16-analysts-share-their-views">Eaton Corp.</a> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ETN#NYSE">ETN</a>), and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/analyst-ratings/25/07/46210208/breaking-down-trane-technologies-11-analysts-share-their-views">Trane Technologies</a> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TT#NYSE">TT</a>) as industrials that quietly beat the S&amp;P 500 over long periods.
One user summed up the appeal by asking: &#8220;How many people on the planet took a sh&#x2A;t this morning, and/or turned on the heat or AC?&#8221; The message: boring businesses that keep infrastructure running are everywhere, and often profitable.
Trending: BlackRock is calling 2025 the year of alternative assets. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">One firm from NYC has quietly built a group of 60,000+ investors who have all joined in on an alt asset class previously exclusive to billionaires like Bezos and Gates.</a>
Another favorite was Comfort Systems USA (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FIX#NYSE">FIX</a>), which installs HVAC systems. One investor called it &#8220;very well-performing&#8221; and compared it to IES Holdings (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IESC#NASDAQ">IESC</a>), which has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/news/25/06/46009433/100-invested-in-ies-hldgs-10-years-ago-would-be-worth-this-much-today">outperformed the market</a> over the past 10 years by 32.69% on an annualized basis, producing an average annual return of 43.61%.
Comfort Systems itself has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/news/25/06/45895599/heres-how-much-you-would-have-made-owning-comfort-systems-usa-stock-in-the-last-5-years">outperformed the market</a> over the past five years by more than 51% on an annualized basis, producing an average annual return of 65.31%.
&#8220;I inherited FIX which had done VERY well,&#8221; one user said. &#8220;But I sold it for very petty and personal reasons lol.&#8221;
Casey's General Stores (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CASY#NASDAQ">CASY</a>), a convenience store chain with more than 2,900 locations, was called out as a quiet outperformer. One Reddit investor wrote: &#8220;It has a better 5-year return than Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) and it pays a dividend.&#8221;
Fair Isaac Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FICO#NYSE">FICO</a>), the company behind FICO credit scores, was another standout. It has soared 352% over the last five years.
AutoZone (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AZO#NYSE">AZO</a>) and O&#8217;Reilly Automotive (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORLY#NASDAQ">ORLY</a>) also earned praise for delivering steady gains while operating in a no-glamour sector.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Canadian And European Names Enter The Chat</h2>
Dollarama, Canada's version of Dollar Tree (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DLTR#NASDAQ">DLTR</a>), has surged over 300% in the past five years. Nutrien, the world&#8217;s top potash supplier, is up 92% over that span.
Some mentioned European companies like Rheinmetall, a German <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/25/03/44235106/6-defense-stocks-to-watch-after-trump-halts-weapons-shipments-to-ukraine">defense stock</a> up 2,200% in five years. Others nodded to Fairfax Financial, a Canadian insurer with a 500% return in five years.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Steady Can Still Win</h2>
While the tech crowd continues to ride waves of speculation, some long-term investors are betting on plumbing, autoparts, fertilizer, and insurance. As one investor in the thread put it, &#8220;Unless we have Armageddon tomorrow, yes, absolutely&#8221; these companies are still worth buying.

President Trump Says U.S. Will Impose 35% Tariff On Canada

Lawyer Alan Dershowitz, who has represented President Donald Trump in an impeachment trial, has asserted that he possesses knowledge of the names included in the Jeffrey Epstein files. However, he is bound by confidentiality and cannot disclose them.
What Happened: Dershowitz revealed this information during his appearance on &#8220;The Sean Spicer Show&#8221; on Thursday, <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5395597-dershowitz-says-he-knows-epstein-client-list-names-but-im-bound-by-confidentiality/">reported</a> The Hill. 
He stated, &#8220;I know the names of the individuals. I know why they're being suppressed. I know who's suppressing them,&#8221; but clarified that he is bound by a judge&#8217;s confidentiality order and cannot disclose what he knows.
Earlier this year, the Trump administration had promised&nbsp;to release the documents and&nbsp;names of individuals associated with Epstein's inner circle. However, the White House continues to assert that there is no &#8220;client list&#8221;, a claim that has been met with skepticism.

Lawyer Sigrid McCawley, who is representing several Epstein victims in their civil cases, has criticized the government for withholding a &#8220;treasure trove of information&#8221; related to Epstein and his co-conspirators. Dershowitz echoed this sentiment, stating that the list is being withheld to &#8220;protect&#8221; those involved with Epstein's crimes.
Why It Matters: This development comes in the wake of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45828121/elon-musks-bombshell-about-donald-trump-in-epstein-docs-heres-the-truth-behind-the-claim">Elon Musk&#8217;s controversial claim</a> in June about Trump&#8217;s connection to the undisclosed Epstein files, which sparked a political uproar. Musk, however, did not provide any supporting evidence for his claim.
Subsequently, this month, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46270547/elon-musk-reignites-jeffrey-epstein-client-list-row-adding-fuel-to-the-feud-with-trump">Musk reignited the debate</a> surrounding the Epstein client list, escalating his feud with Trump. This was in response to the lack of arrests in the Epstein case, which Musk expressed his discontentment about on social media.

If You Invested $100 In This Stock 10 Years Ago, You Would Have This Much Today

Warren Buffett is worth over $145 billion, runs one of the largest conglomerates in the world, and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/09/40971688/warren-buffett-owns-28b-in-coca-cola-stock-and-drinks-5-cans-a-day-i-dont-think-the-prostate-can">drinks five Cherry Cokes a day</a> — but, according to his daughter, he's never touched a sip of water. Ever.
And while it's well known that Buffett has never had an alcoholic drink in his life, what's less expected is that this 94-year-old billionaire has no problem investing in both alcohol and water companies — despite steering clear of both on a personal level.
"I've never in my life — and I'm not kidding — seen the man drink a sip of water," his daughter <a href="https://youtu.be/w-eX4sZi-Zs?si=Nc59LbFeXLIcX5Wm">Susie Buffett said in the 2009 documentary</a>, "The World&#8217;s Greatest Money Maker: Warren Buffett."

Nearly a decade later, in the <a href="https://youtu.be/i45_qjgFmxg?si=O1WagnxCDyPF9_cp">2017 HBO documentary "Becoming Warren Buffett</a>," she doubled down: "He doesn't drink water. He doesn't do anything he's supposed to do. And he's healthy."
When asked about alcohol in various interviews, Buffett has been consistent: he's never had a drink. As <a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/analysis-and-features/warren-buffet-the-secret-of-the-billionaire-s-success-1622649.html">The UK Independent</a> noted, Buffett has never smoked or consumed alcohol and said he avoids both to protect his health.
During a Berkshire Hathaway annual shareholder meeting years ago, he once explained the logic using one of his signature metaphors:
Imagine you're 16 years old and a genie gives you any car you want, he told students — but warns it's the only car you'll ever own.
"Now, if you're smart, you'll take care of that car," Buffett said. "Well, you only get one body and one mind — and it has to last a lifetime."

That mindset might help explain how Buffett's made it to 94 with a sugar-heavy diet and a zero-water, zero-alcohol policy — but when it comes to his investments, it's a different story entirely.
In late 2024, Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway invested $1.24 billion in Constellation Brands, the parent company of Corona beer, Modelo, and Robert Mondavi wines. By early this year, the position more than doubled, making it one of Berkshire's biggest bets in the consumer goods space. The company now owns more than 6.6% of Constellation.
Berkshire has also long held a position in the water industry. Through its Marmon Group, Berkshire owns EcoWater Systems, which produces residential and commercial water treatment products. Berkshire was also the second-largest shareholder of Nalco, a major water-treatment chemical firm, before it merged into Ecolab.
Fellow billionaire Bill Gates <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/education/25/07/46265960/elon-musk-and-bill-gates-share-a-surprising-view-on-alcohol#">has a similar stance.</a> While he's said he's "not a big beer drinker," he's still invested heavily in the alcohol industry.

In a <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/80ow6w/im_bill_gates_cochair_of_the_bill_melinda_gates/">2018 Reddit AMA</a>, Gates admitted:
"I am not a big beer drinker. When I end up at something like a baseball game I'll drink light beer to get with the vibe."&nbsp;
Despite that, in February 2023, Gates' trust and personal accounts co-purchased a <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-02-22/billionaire-gates-buys-stake-in-heineken-s-controlling-holder">$902 million stake</a> in Heineken Holding—the parent company of Heineken beer.&nbsp;
So why the disconnect between personal lifestyle and portfolio strategy?
Well, as Buffett himself once said in a <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2018/02/26/buffett-says-out-of-the-three-ways-to-go-broke-liquor-ladies-and-leverage-leverage-is-the-worst.html">2018 CNBC interview</a>:
"My partner Charlie says there are only three ways a smart person can go broke: liquor, ladies, and leverage."
Buffett's avoided all three in his personal life. But in the markets? He knows opportunity when he sees it — even if he wouldn't drink to it
