The Fund is an actively managed exchange traded fund (ETF) that seeks to achieve positive total returns in rising or falling markets that are not directly correlated to broad market equity or fixed income markets. The Fund intends to invest using proprietary investment strategies that seek to identify and profit from upcoming movements in any combination of global fixed income, currency, commodity, or equity markets. The Fund seeks to capture the economic benefit derived from rising and declining trends based on the moving average price changes in the commodity, foreign currency, equity and fixed income markets by taking long or short positions in related futures contracts, currency forwards and swaps. Moving average refers to the average closing price of a security over a specified period of time, and moving average returns may be used to compare returns over short- and long-term periods. The Fund generally will take a long position in a particular asset class, sector or market that the Funds investment adviser, Cambria Investment Management, L.P. (Cambria or the Adviser), expects to rise in value and generally will take a short position in a particular asset class, sector or market that Cambria expects to fall in value. Cambria sets both the long-term strategic weights across individual strategies, or group of strategies, as well as short-term tactical weightings, which may deviate from long-term strategic weights due to short-term market risks or opportunities. Cambria will employ both quantitative and qualitative methods to assess and manage the level of risk and to seek to improve returns of the Fund over time. Cambria in its discretion may establish long positions in excess of its short positions, and short positions in excess of its long positions; however, the Funds short positions will be fully covered consistent with applicable law at all times.

Morgan Stanley Maintains Overweight on Costco Wholesale, Raises Price Target to $1225

On a recent <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r63cwSWbFME">episode</a> of &#8220;The Joe Rogan Experience,&#8221; British comedian Jimmy Carr joined Joe Rogan for a wide-ranging conversation that took a serious turn when they began talking about corporate greed, education, and the crushing weight of student debt in the U.S.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Rogan And Carr Criticize The Student Loan System</h2>
Rogan didn't hold back when discussing the way student loans trap young people. "It's the one debt you cannot absolve in America even with bankruptcy," he said. "It's a scam. It's the dirtiest thing ever."

</ul>
Carr agreed and argued that the U.S. and U.K. should cancel student debt altogether. "We mis-sold people some bullsh&#x2A;t degrees," he said. "You're taking those people that took a chance and they went to university and they gave their time and they studied hard &#8230; and then they can't buy a house because &#8230; [their degree is] not in a STEM subject, it's in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/02/37305015/mark-cuban-says-liberal-arts-degrees-arent-ridiculous-anymore-in-the-age-of-ai-heres-why">humanities or something</a>, and they don't get the lifestyle they worked hard for."
Carr also pointed out that while socialism is often treated like a dirty word, most people <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44532343/joe-rogan-says-social-safety-nets-are-very-important-for-people-he-calls-the-bootstraps-mentality-horsesht">accept its role in essential services</a> like fire departments and public schools. "Everyone agrees, right?" he said. "If your house burns down, we're going to have a fire service. It's not like, ‘Oh, we don't take care of that.'"
Rogan added that corporations <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/08/40133472/joe-rogan-tells-ceos-life-is-short-youre-wasting-all-your-time-trying-to-squeeze-as-much-money-a">rarely aim to do good</a> once they're public. "They never are satisfied," he said. "They never go, ‘Guys, we're doing great. If we just make this amount of money every year, like, that's wonderful. Let's just hang back. I think our profits are very high. Let's do good.'"

The two also talked about how student loans mostly burden middle- and working-class kids, locking them out of upward mobility. Carr described education as a social equalizer. "The opportunity to educate yourself and to do better is like—that's sort of part of the American Dream, isn't it?" he said.&nbsp;
Rogan agreed and noted that 18-year-olds often don't understand the long-term consequences of debt. "You're too young to be connected to a $50,000 debt when you're 18. You don't know what it means," he said. "The fact that it's going to follow you around forever and haunt you&#8230; I think it's evil."

Only about one-third of those borrowers are currently making regular payments.&nbsp;
According to a <a href="https://newsroom.transunion.com/may-2025-student-loan-update/">TransUnion</a> report earlier this month, 20.5% of borrowers with payments due were more than 90 days late as of February. That's nearly double the 11.5% delinquency rate from February 2020 before pandemic relief began. Borrowers who defaulted saw their credit scores drop by an average of 63 points, with some super prime borrowers losing as much as 175 points. Experts warn this could make it harder to get loans, buy homes, or even rent.

Joe Rogan Calls Student Loans A Scam 'You Cannot Absolve Even With Bankruptcy.' Says 'It's The Dirtiest Thing Ever'

WIIM

ALZN

Alzamend Neuro shares are trading lower. The stock appears to be pulling back after surging on Thursday following a AL001 trial dosing update.

UiPath, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PATH#NYSE">PATH</a>) &nbsp;shares are trading higher after the company reported better-than-expected first-quarter results, issued second-quarter sales guidance above estimates, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">and raised its FY26 guidance</a>.
On Thursday, the company reported revenue of&nbsp;$356.62 million, versus&nbsp;estimates&nbsp;of $332.87 million, and adjusted EPS of&nbsp;11 cents, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45683235/uipath-stock-surges-on-q1-earnings-beat-raised-guidance-this-was-a-milestone-quarter" rel="noreferrer noopener">exceeding the estimates of 10 cents</a>.
The company raised its fiscal 2026 forecast from a range of $1.52 billion to $1.53 billion to a new range of $1.549 billion to $1.554 billion versus <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" rel="noreferrer noopener">estimates of $1.53 billion</a>.

Many analysts raised the price forecast on the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/PATH/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">stock following the results</a>.
RBC Capital analyst Matthew Hedberg maintained a Sector Perform rating and raised the price target from&nbsp;$13&nbsp;to&nbsp;$15.
After a challenging initial FY26 guide and miss to end last year due to public sector issues, UiPath showed encouraging progress in that vertical through proactive engagement, said the analyst.
According to the analyst, the Federal renewals met expectations, with some agencies even outperforming, though budget finalizations still present some pressure.
UiPath is seeing early success with agentic initiatives, including over 250,000 agent runs on Agent Builder and 11,000 process instances powered by Maestro since their preview releases, Hedberg remarked in an analyst note.
The analyst said that despite ongoing macroeconomic variability, management expressed continued prudence in their FY26 guidance, which was nonetheless raised across the board.
Hedberg highlighted the company&#8217;s optimism about its agentic AI opportunities and early customer interest, though significant revenue contributions from this area are not anticipated until FY27.
Needham analyst Scott Berg reiterated a Hold rating.
In an analyst note, Berg observed that UiPath posted a solid upside in revenue and operating income versus low Street expectations, primarily driven by strong license revenue that exceeded their estimate by 24%.
However, net new ARR came in at $27 million, a 39% year-over-year decrease (compared to a consensus of +$22.6 million), which the analyst attributes to lingering impacts from go-to-market (GTM) changes and execution improvements from FY25.
Berg pointed out that the current guidance indicates an increasingly second-half weighted performance, with 76% of net new ARR expected in the second half versus 57% in FY25, suggesting a moderately more challenging ramp-up.
The guidance comes despite continued declines in key metrics, including Net Revenue Retention (NRR), which dropped to 108% in the quarter, Berg added.
KeyBanc analyst Jason Celino retained a Sector Weight rating on the stock.
The analyst revised the FY26 estimates to account for the first quarter results and updated the outlook, expecting revenue of $1.552 billion (vs. $1.528 billion prior &amp; consensus of $1.522 billion) for FY26.
While the analyst finds the improved results and advancements within the public sector encouraging, he maintained the rating due to the early stage of the agentic AI opportunity and ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty.
Truist analyst Terry Tillman raised the price forecast from $12 to $13 while maintaining a Hold rating.
In an analyst note, Tillman underscored that the company surpassed their estimates, with particularly strong beats in total revenue and non-GAAP operating income.
Positive traction appears to be building from agentic solutions, the new partner program, and the recently acquired Peak, among other initiatives, which led the analyst to raise the estimates based on the improved outlook.
In particular, Tillman now sees revenue of $1.547 billion (vs. $1.527 billion earlier) compared to a consensus of $1.522 billion for FY26.
The analyst emphasized the company&#8217;s narrative is still a work in progress concerning the improvement of its annualized renewal run rate (ARR) and the return of net new ARR to a trajectory of robust growth.
Price Action: PATH shares are trading higher by 1.20% to $13.10 at last check Friday.

Reaching financial independence by 35 is the dream. At least, that's what <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/11/41781968/suze-orman-says-if-youre-rich-like-her-then-you-can-retire-early-but-if-you-only-have-2-million-">the FIRE community</a> would have you believe.
FIRE—short for Financial Independence, Retire Early—is a movement where people aggressively save, invest, and try to exit the rat race decades ahead of schedule. Skip the daily commute, skip the boss, and live life on your own terms.
But for one <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/Fire/s/wy4GEfVf4t">user on Reddit's r/FIRE subreddit</a>, hitting every financial milestone didn't come with freedom. It came with burnout.

He's 35, married with two kids, earns $250,000 a year in a high-stress corporate role, and runs a startup projected to earn $90,000. His net worth? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/05/45585378/do-you-have-an-upper-class-nest-egg-heres-what-the-top-20-have-saved-for-retirement-hint-its-less-than-youd-think">Over $3 million</a>. That includes $2.5 million in brokerage accounts, $200,000 in retirement, $30,000 in cash, and a home worth $650,000—with only $300,000 left on the mortgage at 2.25%. Two cars are paid off, and the third is nearly there.
He's done it all right. And yet?
"I don't think I've ever been more miserable," he wrote.
"I feel dead inside and I don't like who I've become. I feel like I can't enjoy anything anymore, even hobbies I once really enjoyed. I can't recall the last time I was actually happy or honestly what that even really felt like."
He said he's losing sleep, spending hours staring at the ceiling, thinking about the years he's sacrificed. He goes through the motions, smiling for his family, pretending things are fine.
"If only one of us has to be miserable, it should be me. No need to bring them down too."

For a community obsessed with asset allocation and early retirement math, the response was strikingly emotional. Users didn't toss spreadsheets at him—they tossed support.
One person asked, "How did you get a $3 million portfolio in 13 years making $250K or less?"
Another replied, "Lots of risk is the answer."
Someone else said, "Sounds like OP is trading time and life experiences for money. And now found themselves entirely empty."
The thread turned quickly from admiration to intervention.
"You should probably talk to a mental health professional. Not a financial forum."
"Walk away from the corp job to focus on your startup for one year… Spend more time with the kids and wife."
"You can't get back those years of your youth. They're worth more than $250K a year."

And the harshest but most honest comment of all?
"If it makes you feel any better, I feel this way with almost $3 million less than you."
This entire crisis tracks with what psychologists call the hedonic treadmill—the idea that happiness levels may shift briefly after life changes but eventually drift back to a personal baseline. According to <a href="https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/hedonic-treadmill">Psychology Today</a>, that baseline isn't the same for everyone, and a person can have different set points for emotional highs versus overall life satisfaction.
In other words, your life can look fantastic on paper and still feel emotionally bankrupt.
So maybe FIRE isn't the finish line after all. Maybe it's the starting line for a harder question: what are you really chasing? Because no amount of brokerage accounts or <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/smartasset">early retirement plans</a> will buy back your 30s—or the peace you expected to find once you got here.

35-Year-Old With $3 Million Net Worth Making $250K A Year Says Despite Hitting All Financial Goals, He's Miserable — 'I Feel Dead Inside'

Kayla from Montana recently wrote into &#8220;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fk8olamzTb8">The Dave Ramsey Show</a>&#8221; with what sounded like a pretty straightforward question: Can we afford to buy a new car?
&#8220;My husband lives and breathes by Dave&#8217;s rules and he thinks we can&#8217;t afford one,&#8221; Kayla wrote. She said she and her husband are both 35 years old, have a combined income of $700,000, and a net worth close to $1 million. They have two young daughters and are planning to grow their family soon. Their only debts are a $600,000 mortgage on their home and a $65,000 mortgage on a rental property.

Kayla&#8217;s plan was to save up and buy a new midsize SUV this year. Her husband wanted to stick with a used full-size SUV and keep it for at least seven years.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Ramsey Fires Back at the Wife</h2>
What followed wasn't the usual Ramsey-style financial breakdown. Instead, Dave Ramsey and co-host Rachel Cruze launched into a full-on critique of the couple&#8217;s dynamic.
&#8220;The problem here Kayla, is not the car,&#8221; Ramsey said. &#8220;You just stand back and ask for stuff and he decides if he&#8217;s going to give it or not. That is not a Ramsey rule.&#8221;
Ramsey went on to say Kayla sounded like a &#8220;16-year-old having a hissy fit because your daddy won&#8217;t buy you a car,&#8221; a comment that many viewers found jarring.
While Ramsey emphasized that he teaches couples to work together financially as &#8220;two grown-ups working toward an agreed goal,&#8221; his mocking tone and personal assumptions about their relationship didn't sit right with many listeners.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Viewers Push Back Against Ramsey&#8217;s Tone</h2>
In the video's comments section, viewers pushed back.
One commenter said the woman didn&#8217;t sound anything like Ramsey&#8217;s mocking imitation. She had simply asked if they could <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-save-up-for-a-car">save up for a new car</a>, considering their income. The commenter added, &#8220;He didn&#8217;t have to insult the wife. He was a rude a-hole.&#8221;
Another wrote, &#8220;I didn&#8217;t get that inference from her writing at all. Dave heard something that was never there.&#8221; Others shared that they also didn't pick up on any of the supposed undertones and felt Ramsey was projecting.
Several people pointed out that the husband appeared to be using &#8220;Dave&#8217;s rules&#8221; as a way to shut down the conversation. One said it sounded like he just wanted control and was using Ramsey&#8217;s advice as an excuse.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Ramsey&#8217;s Actual Advice</h2>
Despite the drama, Ramsey did eventually answer the financial question: No, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/04/44752907/dave-ramsey-says-if-you-want-to-know-what-driving-a-new-car-really-costs-open-your-car-window-once-a-week-and-toss-out-a-100-bill">he wouldn&#8217;t recommend buying a brand-new car</a> unless you have a net worth of at least $1 million. &#8220;Buy a two-year-old SUV,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Let someone else take the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/01/43039835/dave-ramsey-breaks-down-how-a-40000-car-depreciates-by-16000-over-5-years-says-its-not-a-path-to-prosperity-even-on-an-80000-salary">buttkicking on the depreciation</a>.&#8221;
He also criticized the couple for poor money management. &#8220;There&#8217;s something wrong. Where the heck is all this money going? You ought to be able to write a check to buy that SUV and not even have this discussion. There&#8217;s money going out of here like you guys are in Congress.&#8221;
Still, many commenters felt the emotional commentary overwhelmed what could have been a simple financial discussion.
One viewer summed it up: &#8220;Dave, you are good at finances, but perhaps leave the &#8216;daddy issues&#8217; for John Deloney?&#8221; Deloney is one of Ramsey&#8217;s co-hosts and a popular mental health expert.

'I Want A New Car,' Says A Wife Whose Husband Says They Can't Afford It On $700K. Dave Ramsey Starts Mocking Her And People Are Confused

Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy says he doesn't get how wealthy people go broke. Speaking on a recent episode of &#8220;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rJsG7QuhTM">The Unnamed Show</a>,&#8221; Portnoy said that once someone has real money, it should be easy to keep making more.
&#8220;I don&#8217;t know how people lose [money],&#8221; Portnoy said. &#8220;Once you have money, you just make more.&#8221;
&#8216;I'm Just Gambling, I'm Just Living&#8217;
Portnoy, who estimates his net worth at around $250 million, said he has a finance guy whose only job is to alert him if things ever get tight. &#8220;If you&#8217;re getting tight, let me know. Other than that, I&#8217;m buying horses, I&#8217;m buying houses, I&#8217;m just gambling, I&#8217;m just living,&#8221; he said.

At one point in the podcast, one of the co-hosts asked if he was worth $700 million. Portnoy laughed off the idea. &#8220;No, no. If I had to guess net worth, I&#8217;d probably put it around maybe $250 [million]. I don&#8217;t know. That&#8217;s a guess,&#8221; he said. He acknowledged the number is fluid given his various investments, real estate, and gambling activity.
He also took a shot at other celebrities, including Justin Bieber and Bruno Mars, referencing rumors about financial troubles due to excessive spending or gambling. "I don't know if I believe that stuff. How do you spend that much? Like, are you not investing it?"

Portnoy's own gambling habits have drawn attention not just for their size, but for rumors that he's not always betting his own money but that DraftKings (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DKNG#NASDAQ">DKNG</a>) gives him an annual check to place bets. On the show, he addressed the speculation head-on.
"Anyone who's been with me placing a bet, which you have, [knows] it's my own money," Portnoy said. "I don&#8217;t even know that that&#8217;s legal, to be totally honest. You&#8217;d have to disclaim what&#8217;s going on."
He added that he's not a good enough actor to fake the emotional rollercoaster he goes through during high-stakes games. "There's no shot I can have the emotions that I have doing it," he said.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">One Bet Nearly Matches Clark's Salary</h2>
Portnoy&#8217;s comments came shortly after a high-profile win: he <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/25/05/45507912/dave-portnoys-big-caitlin-clark-bet-profits-325k-nearly-the-same-amount-of-wnba-stars-four-year-salary">made $325,000</a> on a single bet predicting Caitlin Clark would record a triple-double in the Indiana Fever's 2025 season opener. He placed a $25,000 wager with DraftKings at +1300 odds.
That one bet nearly matched Clark's four-year WNBA salary of $338,056.
Portnoy has also been vocal about Clark's performance and the media narratives surrounding her. He's criticized outlets like ESPN and public figures for turning a sports rivalry into a race issue. His co-host, Kirk Minihane, made a good point, saying, "This is about two 23-year-old women basketball players. Who gives a sh&#x2A;t?"

Bank of America Securities analyst Curtis Nagle reinstated coverage on CoStar Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSGP#NASDAQ">CSGP</a>) with a Neutral rating <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/CSGP/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">and price forecast of $79.</a>
The analyst writes that under CEO Andy Florance&#8217;s leadership, the company has consistently achieved double-digit revenue growth and robust margin expansion.
Nonetheless, significant investments in residential portals (exceeding $900 million across 2024 and 2025) have weighed on EBITDA margins, which declined from the mid-30s to the low teens by 2025, adds the analyst.
The analyst sees challenges in scaling the residential segment profitably as the primary risk to an otherwise strong growth narrative.
Nagle believes that CoStar could face shareholder pressure, especially after the appointment of three activist-proposed board members, to scale back these residential investments.
A material reduction in losses from this segment could serve as a significant catalyst for the shares, adds the analyst.
Citing the positives, the analyst says that CoStar operates a resilient and predictable model within its non-residential segment, which boasts high core margins—specifically, a robust ~40% EBITDA margin—driven by 80% subscription revenue and a high ~89% renewal rate.
Also, the commercial business is highly scalable, possessing durable competitive advantages due to the depth and proprietary nature of its data, adds the analyst.
Nagle further says that new products and the strategic redeployment of its salesforce should support the company&#8217;s growth outlook into 2026.
The company&#8217;s Apartments.com leads the U.S. rental market, and CoStar sees significant long-term growth in this segment by expanding into under-penetrated single-family and smaller regional markets.
