Investing legend Peter Lynch warned investors that "the sucker's going up is not a good reason" to buy a stock, chastising traders who chase high-flyers without understanding the businesses behind them.
What Happened: Lynch's caution, which came in a rare CNBC <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-6fv09KCDw">interview</a>, carries weight. He steered Fidelity's Magellan Fund to an average 29.2% annual return from 1977 to 1990, a run that more than doubled the S&amp;P 500 and turned $20 million into $14 billion. The Boston native also popularized the motto &#8220;invest in what you know,&#8221; reminding savers that only a handful of "<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45338212/peter-lynchs-market-advice-if-you-have-lot-of-stocks-some-will-do-mediocre-some-will-do-okay-if-one-or-two-go-up-big-time-you-produce-a-fabulous-result">ten-baggers</a>" can offset inevitable losers.
In the April 2023 interview, Lynch lamented that many shoppers &#8220;are careful when they buy a refrigerator," yet will drop thousands on a tip heard &#8220;on the bus,&#8221; skipping even a cursory balance-sheet check. His fix requires a clear, fact-based thesis on why earnings, not momentum, should lift a stock.

He still hunts for companies "either in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44211455/peter-lynchs-evergreen-market-advice-if-you-cant-find-growth-companies-in-innings-three-through-five-look-at-turnarounds">turnaround mode</a> or poised to grow," singling out off-price retailer TJX, chip titan Nvidia, and earlier success stories Panera and Family Dollar as examples of the kind of "something different" narratives worth researching, though he stopped short of recommending any outright.
Even the maestro has regrets. &#8220;Apple (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) was not that hard to understand. I mean, how dumb was I?&#8221; he admitted, adding that Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) became a &#8220;huge stock&#8221; after he passed. Still, Lynch insists his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44067613/peter-lynchs-four-step-stock-market-guide-buy-what-you-know-read-presentations-know-market-cycle-and-summ">1989 playbook</a> holds up: turn over more rocks than the crowd, stay patient, and never let a chart do the thinking.
Why It Matters: Lynch isn&#8217;t the only one who believes in truly understanding a business through and through before investing in it. Warren Buffett, for one, likes to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44067982/heres-how-warren-buffett-made-billions-from-an-industry-he-didnt-understand">pore over</a> annual reports like most people scroll social media.
Peter Lynch, like Buffett, also believes in locking in on prospects for the long run. In his book &#8216;Learn to Earn&#8217;, Lynch advocates for a twenty-year <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44780176/peter-lynchs-advice-for-successful-investors-stick-with-your-stocks-no-matter-what-ignore-so-called-smart-advice">investment horizon</a> as the ideal timeframe for stock market success. This span, he says, provides sufficient time to bounce back from market slumps and amass profits.

Bitcoin's (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) pseudonymous creator, Satoshi Nakamoto's estimated fortune has surged sharply, surpassing that of tech billionaire Bill Gates.
What happened: As of this writing, the wallet linked to Satoshi owned about $113.8 billion in Bitcoin, <a href="https://intel.arkm.com/explorer/entity/satoshi-nakamoto">according </a>to blockchain analytics firm Arkham.&nbsp;
Notably, the wealth of Microsoft co-founder Gates was <a href="https://www.forbes.com/real-time-billionaires/#50efce393d78">estimated </a>at $112.9 billion, according to Forbes&#8217; Real-Time Billionaires list. Had Satoshi been ranked here, they would be the 12th-wealthiest person in the world.
It is collectively believed that Satoshi owns roughly 1.1 million Bitcoin, making up 5% of the coin's circulating supply.
Currently, Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk is ranked first on this super-rich list, with an eye-popping fortune of $395.6 billion. Theoretically, for Satoshi to become the world's wealthiest, Bitcoin's price has to hit $360,000 or above, which is currently an unrealistic expectation.

Why It Matters: Nakamoto&#8217;s true identity is yet to be revealed and is a subject of intense speculation since the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/who-is-satoshi-nakamoto">inception</a> of Bitcoin in 2009. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/10/41242615/peter-todd-is-satoshi-nakamoto-bitcoin-core-developer-denies-hbo-documentary-claims-im-not">Various figures</a>, including Bitcoin Core developers Peter Todd, Len Sassaman, and Nick Szabo have been linked to the mysterious personality over the years.
A documentary <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/10/41179372/satoshi-nakamoto-about-to-be-unveiled-bitcoin-creators-identity-focal-point-of-upcoming-hb">titled </a>‘Money Electric: The Bitcoin Mystery" aired last year, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/10/41242615/peter-todd-is-satoshi-nakamoto-bitcoin-core-developer-denies-hbo-documentary-claims-im-not">claiming that Todd was Satoshi</a>. Todd was quick to deny the claim.
The surge in Satoshi&#8217;s wealth coincided with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/05/45339289/bitcoin-taps-105000-ethereum-steady-dogecoin-falls-as-us-announces-china-trade-deal-analyst-says-btc-in-for-a-price-discovery-uptrend-if-it-secures-a-weekly-close-above-this-lev">Bitcoin&#8217;s sharp recovery</a> induced by U.S.-China trade deal optimism.

Bill Gates Left Behind By Satoshi Nakamoto: Bitcoin Creator's Wealth Now Eclipses That Of Microsoft Co-Founder Amid Crypto's Sharp Rebound

In the latest episode of the All-In Podcast, venture capitalist Chamath Palihapitiya and fellow co-hosts reacted to a revelation from Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) executive Eddy Cue stating that the tech giant witnessed a decline in its search volume last month—something that hasn't happened in 20 years.
What Happened: In the podcast, which was recorded on Thursday, Jason Calacanis mentioned Cue's statement, which the Apple executive made during his testimony for Alphabet Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Google.
"For the first time ever in over 20 — I think we've been at this for 22 years — last month, our search volume actually went down," Cue testified, citing the growing popularity of ChatGPT and Perplexity AI as emerging alternatives.
The news sent shockwaves through the tech sector. In the five days, Alphabet's class A shares declined by 6.27% while class C shares decreased by 6.24%, according to data from <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Calacanis then asked Palihapitiya if this is the time to panic. In response, the "SPAC King" called it a moment of reckoning.
He acknowledged that Google's Gemini remains one of the most impressive models in many domains, especially general information and chat. However, he said that the company is no longer enjoying its once-dominant 99% search market share.
Instead of waiting for more concrete data, Palihapitiya urged Google to assume a significant share erosion, potentially dropping to 75% within two years, and begin planning accordingly.
That planning, he said, should include aggressively positioning Gemini as the primary user-facing interface for Google.
But doing so, he warned, requires "taste and courage." Otherwise, Google risks being caught flat-footed while rivals like Apple, OpenAI and Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) quietly implement changes and only announce them after they've already made an impact.
That reactive mindset, he cautioned, could demoralize Google&#8217;s talented teams and leave the company trailing in an industry where momentum matters.

Why It's Important: Last month, Alphabet reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44995955/alphabet-q1-earnings-highlights-google-search-youtube-cloud-show-robust-momentum">first-quarter revenue</a> of $90.23 billion, a 12% increase year-over-year that exceeded Wall Street's estimate of $89.2 billion. A major contributor to this growth was Google Search, which generated $50.7 billion in revenue, up from $46.2 billion in the same quarter last year.
As of March 2025, Google held a 79.1% share of the global desktop search engine market. While it still maintains a significant lead over its rivals, this marks the lowest market share the company has seen on desktop platforms in more than 20 years, according to Statista.
The German database company also noted that in January 2025, Google commanded 93.82% of the global mobile search engine market.

Apple Executive Says iPhone Users Are Ditching Google — Now Chamath Palihaptiya Urges The Search Giant To Stop Waiting For Data And Start Fighting Models Like ChatGPT

Fund manager and long-term Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) bull, Gary Black, is weighing in on the long-running debates surrounding the EV giant, the industry&#8217;s future, and trends such as autonomy and driverless ridesharing.
What Happened: On Sunday, in a long post on X, Black outlined how his past views on the electric vehicle maker have been validated in recent years, despite the pushback from Tesla&#8217;s investor community at the time, whom he dubs as the &#8220;TSLA faithful.&#8221;
&#8220;For years I argued TSLA would never hit 20 million deliveries by 2030,&#8221; Black says, referring to CEO Elon Musk's long-term volume target. &#8220;I was told Elon said they would, to which I asked, why do you listen to management?&#8221; 
He noted that Wall Street's current consensus figures for 2030 are now closer to 3.9 million units, and added that many Tesla bulls themselves have since pivoted to downplaying EV delivery volumes as a core valuation metric.

In his post, Black also criticized the company&#8217;s reluctance to embrace traditional advertising and public relations, arguing that as the market leader, it has to communicate the benefits of EVs to ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) vehicle owners to pave the way for broader adoption.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
On pricing, Black points out that Tesla&#8217;s margin-eroding price cuts in 2023 and 2024 failed to generate any meaningful volume growth, just as he had predicted. He also warns that further price moves with newer models could face similar outcomes.
Turning to autonomy, Black challenged the notion that Tesla is far ahead. &#8220;Here we are today with Waymo, AMZN, and Baidu all operating autonomous robotaxi networks,&#8221; he says, while Tesla has yet to receive a single deployment license. 
&#8220;Don't malign me for trying to inject some realism into the TSLA story,&#8221; Black says, as he turns his attention towards the growing claims from among the &#8220;faithful,&#8221; who now believe that Uber Technologies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBER#NYSE">UBER</a>) and LYFT Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LYFT#NASDAQ">LYFT</a>) are set to go bankrupt with Tesla&#8217;s advances in autonomous driving.
In a follow-up Tweet, Black claimed that these ridesharing companies are set to benefit the most as autonomous mobility takes flight, as going driverless &#8220;reduces the cost per mile from $2/mile to $1/mile.&#8221; Black, whose firm holds a stake in both Tesla and Uber, maintains the latter&#8217;s price target at $120, representing an upside of 45%.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>

Why It Matters: Despite being a long-time investor in Tesla, Black has been a vocal critic of the company in recent years, having regularly highlighted the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/05/45214525/gary-black-flags-47-projected-drop-in-teslas-april-europe-sales-predicts-6-decline-in-2025-deliv">brand&#8217;s alarming sales</a> data this year, following Musk&#8217;s growing political involvement.
He has also repeatedly criticized the company's lack of marketing, calling it its &#8220;Achilles' heel,&#8221; a weakness he says not only affects sales but also leaves the <a href="https://benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/45091479/teslas-marketing-skills-remain-its-achilles-heel-says-gary-black-as-robotaxi-valuations-ignore-market-limitsfull-uber-lyft-profits-still-fall-short-of-2000-target">company at a disadvantage</a> with regulators.

Gary Black Doubles Down On Uber's Autonomy Upside, Reflects Debates With Tesla Faithful: 'I Was Right'

Prominent economists offered mixed reactions Sunday as markets rallied following announcement of a tentative U.S.-China trade agreement reached during weekend talks in Geneva, with futures surging on optimism despite limited details of the actual terms.
What Happened: Mohamed El-Erian, Chief Economic Advisor at Allianz, highlighted the importance of the talks, noting they &#8220;will shed light on three major aspects: China&#8217;s appetite for pain, America&#8217;s fear of &#8217;empty shelves,&#8217; and how each country prioritizes longer-term trade policy objectives.&#8221;
El-Erian emphasized the deal&#8217;s significance extends beyond bilateral relations, writing on Substack that &#8220;the longer the US retains prohibitive tariffs on China, the greater the likelihood that other countries will be forced to impose their tariffs on Beijing to protect against dumping.&#8221;

Mohamed El-Erian Warns US-China Deal Reveals 'America's Fear Of Empty Shelves' As Markets Rally On Trade Optimism, Peter Schiff Skeptical Without Renminbi Revaluation

Strategy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) executive chairman Michael Saylor on Sunday posted a cute AI-generated video of his child persona discussing Bitcoin&#8217;s (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) optimistic outlook with cryptocurrency journalist Laura Shin.
What happened:&nbsp; In the video, Saylor's kid version responds to a question from Shin's kid version about whether Strategy would ever sell Bitcoin during market downturns.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

The child, in Saylor&#8217;s voice, dismisses the idea of selling Bitcoin, calling the apex cryptocurrency a "technically superior" asset to major fiat currencies, including the dollar.&nbsp;
"The point is if if you have the superior asset, it&#8217;s going up forever, Laura," the junior Saylor said.
In case you were wondering, the AI interaction mimicked their actual March 2021 interaction.

Positive macroeconomic events, such as the U.S.-China trade agreement, have contributed to the rebound.
It's worth reminding that Saylor's firm, Strategy, is the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin, sitting on a stockpile worth $57.6 billion as of this writing, <a href="https://bitcointreasuries.net/">according </a>to bitcointreasuries.net.

Michael Saylor Harnesses AI To Drive Home An Important Message On Bitcoin: 'It's Going Up Forever'

Odds that the U.S. would plunge into recession in 2025 dipped below 50% on decentralized prediction market Polymarket after the U.S. announced a trade deal with China on Sunday.
What Happened:&nbsp; Bets in favor of a betting <a href="https://polymarket.com/event/us-recession-in-2025">contract</a> titled &#8220;US recession in 2025?&#8221; dropped from 52% to 49% over the last 24 hours on the Polygon (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">POL</a>)-based platform.
As of this writing, bookmakers have wagered over $5 million on the bet. The outcome resolves to "Yes" if the economy experiences another quarter of negative growth or if the National Bureau of Economic Research declares a recession before January 1, 2026.

President Donald Trump also said that&nbsp; <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/05/45337811/trump-announces-total-reset-as-us-china-trade-talks-aim-to-end-tariff-war">&#8220;great progress&#8221; was made</a> during the talks and that a "total reset" could be expected.

Recession Odds Fall Below 50% On Polymarket As Crypto Bettors Digest US-China Trade Deal News

On Sunday, President Donald Trump vowed to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44945973/trump-administration-considers-lowering-us-drug-prices-to-international-levels-report">slash prescription drug prices</a> through a sweeping executive order.
What Happened: Trump took to Truth Social and announced plans to sign a new executive order. Under what he called a "most favored nation" pricing policy, the President said the executive order will ensure that "the United States will pay the same price as the Nation that pays the lowest price anywhere in the World."
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="612" height="966" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/11221440/Screenshot-2025-05-12-at-11.14.22.png" alt="" class="wp-image-911175" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/11221440/Screenshot-2025-05-12-at-11.14.22.png 612w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/11221440/Screenshot-2025-05-12-at-11.14.22-190x300.png 190w" sizes="(max-width: 612px) 100vw, 612px" /></figure>

He added that prescription drug prices would drop "almost immediately, by 30% to 80%," and called the move "one of the most consequential Executive Orders in our Country's history."
In response, a user on X, formerly Twitter, expressed skepticism, saying, "It would be nice if Trump&#8217;s super important post about drug prices was really achievable. I think all Democrats would agree&#8230; But like most things Trump brags about, they are pie-in-the-sky promises that can&#8217;t and won&#8217;t actually materialize."

Trump Says Prescription Drug Prices Set To Drop By 30% To 80% 'Almost Immediately' Thanks To 'Most Favored Nation' Plan, Mark Cuban Urges President To 'Force Transparency'

U.S. stock futures rose Sunday evening after weekend trade talks in Geneva signaled potential de-escalation in the ongoing trade war with China.
The S&amp;P 500 Futures are up 1.35%, trading at 5,754.50, Nasdaq Futures are trading at 20,515.25, up 1.88%, and finally Dow Jones Futures are up 1.01%, trading at 41,740.
On the other side of the Pacific, Japan&#8217;s Nikkei 225 index opened higher, and is trading at 37,611.66, up 0.29% at the time of writing this, led by real estate, tech exports, and semiconductor stocks, as fresh optimism on trade talks helped spur sentiments.
The White House announced progress on the deal in a post on X on Sunday. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent hailed the &#8220;substantial progress&#8221; made between the two countries in what he called &#8220;very important trade talks.&#8221;
U.S. Trade Ambassador Jamieson Greer pointed out the quickness with which U.S. and China &#8220;were able to come to agreement.&#8221; He expressed confidence that the deal that was struck would help the U.S. with the &#8220;national emergency&#8221; that was the massive $1.2 trillion trade deficit.

The global cryptocurrency market capitalization stood at $3.34 trillion, following a 0.60% dip in the last 24 hours.
Stock futures spiked Sunday overnight. The Dow Jones Industrial Average Futures rose 436 points, or 1.06%, as of 8:36 p.m. EDT.&nbsp; Futures tied to the S&amp;P 500 lifted 1.34%, while Nasdaq 100 Futures gained 1.76%.
The rally came after President Donald Trump said <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/05/45337811/trump-announces-total-reset-as-us-china-trade-talks-aim-to-end-tariff-war">"great progress" was made</a> during the high-level trade talks between the U.S. and China in Geneva and signaled a "total reset."&nbsp;

Bitcoin Taps $105,000, Ethereum Steady, Dogecoin Falls As US Announces China Trade Deal: Analyst Says BTC In For A 'Price Discovery Uptrend' If It Secures A Weekly Close Above This Level

The Trump administration is preparing to receive a luxurious Boeing 747-8 jumbo jet from Qatar&#8217;s royal family.
What Happened: This aircraft is set to become the new Air Force One for President Donald Trump until the conclusion of his term, <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/trump-administration-poised-accept-palace-sky-gift-trump/story?id=121680511">reported</a> ABC News.
The Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>)-manufactured jet, valued at approximately $400 million, will be transferred to the U.S. Air Force for modifications to meet presidential transport standards, reported ABC, citing sources. The plane will eventually be handed over to the Trump Presidential Library Foundation by January 1, 2029.
Legal assessments by the White House&nbsp;and the Department of Justice, as reported by ABC News, concluded that the gift does not violate bribery laws or the Constitution&#8217;s emoluments clause, as it is not tied to any official act and&nbsp;will be transferred to the&nbsp;U.S. Air Force.
The White House press secretary,&nbsp;Karoline Leavitt, assured that the gift complies with all legal requirements. Qatar&#8217;s media attaché,&nbsp;Ali Al-Ansari, confirmed that the transfer is under consideration by both&nbsp;Qatar's Ministry of Defense and&nbsp;the U.S. Department of Defense.
&#8220;Any gift given by a foreign government is always accepted in full compliance with all applicable laws,&#8221; said Leavitt. She said the administration was committed to &#8220;full transparency.&#8221;
The&nbsp;current Air Force One fleet&nbsp;consists of aging Boeing 747-200 jets, with replacements delayed until 2027. President Trump has expressed frustration over these delays, seeking faster solutions.

Why It Matters: Trump toured the plane—so lavishly outfitted it&#8217;s referred to as &#8220;a flying palace&#8221;—while it was stationed at West Palm Beach International Airport in February, according to ABC News.
The acquisition of the Boeing 747-8 from Qatar comes amid ongoing delays in the delivery of new Air Force One aircraft by Boeing Co.  Initially scheduled for delivery in 2024, the new jets are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/05/45277106/trumps-air-force-one-delayed-until-2027-as-boeing-struggles-with-trade-offs-air-force-official-tells-lawmakers">now expected</a> to arrive in 2027.
This delay has prompted Trump to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/02/43843159/trump-considers-alternatives-for-air-force-one-planes-besides-boeing-says-hes-not-happy-but-dismisses-airbus">explore alternatives</a>, expressing dissatisfaction with Boeing&#8217;s timeline. Despite considering other manufacturers, Trump has ruled out Airbus as an option.
Additionally, Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has been involved in <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/02/43865891/elon-musks-involvement-key-to-solving-boeings-air-force-one-delivery-crisis-report">addressing Boeing&#8217;s delivery challenges</a>, highlighting the complexities surrounding the Air Force One project.

Trump Reportedly Set To Accept 'Flying Palace' From Qatar, White House Says Lavish Gift Of Boeing Jumbo Jet Complies With 'All Applicable Laws'

Frank Bisignano, a former Wall Street executive and longtime payments industry leader, has officially taken the reins as the 18th commissioner of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/05/45297093/social-security-highlights-first-100-days-of-trump-administration-key-reforms-and-billions-in-retroactive-payments">Social Security Administration</a>. His appointment, confirmed by a 53-47 Senate vote on May 6, marks a new phase for an agency that serves over 72 million Americans and distributes more than $1.5 trillion in benefits annually.
Bisignano's confirmation comes after a tumultuous stretch under temporary leadership and rising concern about the influence of the Department of Government Efficiency — a Trump administration initiative that has triggered debate about data privacy and staffing cuts at the SSA.

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Who Is Frank Bisignano?</h2>
Bisignano brings decades of executive experience, having served as CEO of both First Data Corp. and Fiserv (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FI#NYSE">FI</a>), a financial technology firm that processes more than $2.5 trillion in payments daily. Raised in a working-class Brooklyn household, Bisignano emphasized his respect for federal workers in his Senate testimony, drawing on his father's 46-year career with the Treasury Department.
But his leadership style and background in the private sector have stirred controversy — especially when he told <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/03/25/trump-pick-to-lead-social-security-faces-questions-on-doge-involvement.html">CNBC</a> in February, "I'm fundamentally a DOGE person." That remark, referencing the controversial Department of Government Efficiency, has raised eyebrows among Social Security advocates and Democratic lawmakers.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What Is DOGE, and Why Does It Matter?</h2>
DOGE is not a traditional federal department. Instead, it's a Trump-era task force aimed at overhauling federal agencies through rapid modernization and streamlining — sometimes at the cost of established processes.
Trending: Many are using retirement income calculators to check if they&#8217;re on pace —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-do-i-calculate-my-retirement-income-adv"> here&#8217;s a breakdown on what&#8217;s behind this formula.</a>
Under DOGE's influence, the SSA has seen <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45281537/gop-warns-trump-appointed-social-security-chief-frank-bisignano-against-further-staff-cuts-citing-risks-to-services-as-baby-boomers-age">deep job cuts</a>, attempts to alter sensitive databases, and major operational shifts. These actions have alarmed beneficiaries, agency staff, and former commissioners alike.
A federal judge has already issued a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44438870/extremely-worrisome-and-surprising-federal-judge-considers-emergency-order-to-block-doge-from-social-security-systems">preliminary injunction</a> blocking DOGE from accessing sensitive data like Social Security numbers, medical records, and tax information. Former Acting Commissioner Michelle King reportedly stepped down due to concerns about DOGE's access to such data.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What Bisignano Says He'll Focus On</h2>
Despite his DOGE comment, Bisignano has stated that he does not support privatizing Social Security. "I've never thought about privatizing," he said during his Senate confirmation hearing in March. "I don't see this institution as anything other than a government agency that gets run for the American public."
He's outlined three major goals:
<ol class="wp-block-list">
<li>Fixing Overpayments – The SSA has mistakenly issued more than $71 billion in improper payments from 2015-2022, according to an SSA Inspector General <a href="https://oig.ssa.gov/news-releases/2024-08-19-ig-reports-nearly-72-billion-improperly-paid-recommended-improvements-go-unimplemented/">report</a>. Bisignano says lowering the error rate is a top priority, but "we have to be humans in the process" during overpayment recoveries.</li>
<li>Reducing Wait Times – He wants to cut down long wait times when people call or apply for disability benefits. He mentioned using AI to improve response times, targeting under a one-minute wait on the agency's 800 number.</li>
<li>Protecting Personal Data – After pressure from lawmakers, Bisignano pledged to safeguard personal information.</li>
</ol>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What Could Change for Your Benefits?</h2>
For now, Bisignano's leadership is still new — and while his management background may help improve processing speeds and efficiency, concerns remain about privacy and agency stability. Advocacy groups like Social Security Works worry his ties to DOGE signal continued upheaval.
Still, in a <a href="https://www.ssa.gov/news/press/releases/2025/#2025-05-07">press release</a> from the SSA, Bisignano emphasized his intent to "protect Social Security" and turn the agency into a "premier organization."
Time will tell how that mission plays out for the millions who depend on the program.

Trump's New Social Security Commissioner Says He's 'Fundamentally A DOGE Person' — What That Could Mean For Your Benefits

Kevin O'Leary, the entrepreneur and investor known as Mr. Wonderful from &#8220;Shark Tank,&#8221; recently shared his thoughts on loyalty programs, describing them as a losing game for consumers.
&#8220;Loyalty programs? Don't fall for the hype. Points are inflating faster than the dollar,&#8221; O&#8217;Leary <a href="https://x.com/kevinolearytv/status/1920111878514319666">wrote on X</a> recently.&nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why O'Leary Cashes Out Quickly</h2>
In the same post, he shared a video in which he elaborated further. "Loyalty schemes and point systems. Worthless, worthless," he said. "The inflation in points from airlines is absurd. Just look at what you got 12 months ago for what you get now."

</ul>
O'Leary claims that loyalty points, which many consumers accumulate in hopes of earning <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-airline-credit-cards">free flights or other rewards</a>, have lost significant value over time. "People think, oh, I&#8217;m going to amass loyalty points. I&#8217;m going to fly to Hawaii. You find out that two years ago, it was 30,000 points. Now it&#8217;s 170,000 points. There&#8217;s nothing you can do about it."
Instead of hoarding points, O'Leary's strategy is to cash them out as soon as possible, taking advantage of any opportunity to spend them before their value drops further. He suggests using them for goods and services wherever possible, like on Amazon (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), to avoid being caught in the cycle of point inflation.
"I sign up for every single loyalty program, every single one, any retailer, and I blow them out the second I get them," he said. "If you&#8217;re a sharp consumer, you can save about two and a half percent of your entire costs every month by just playing the game right."
Trending: How do billionaires pay less in income tax than you?<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/tax-deferring-adv"> Tax deferring is their number one strategy</a>.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Drawbacks of Hoarding Points</h2>
This approach contrasts with the more traditional strategy of trying to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/06/39190507/is-maximizing-credit-card-rewards-worth-it">maximize credit card rewards</a> over time, which can be effective but requires financial discipline, strong credit, and careful organization.&nbsp;
For those who enjoy chasing points, the effort can pay off, but it also comes with risks. If you're not careful, you can end up carrying balances, paying high interest, or even hurting your credit score if you open too many accounts too quickly.
O'Leary also points out that for people earning a high income, chasing points might not be the best use of their time. Even if you manage to earn a million points in a year, that's only about $10,000 in value, which isn&#8217;t worth the hassle for everyone.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Cash Out and Move On</h2>
O'Leary's approach is simple: collect points but never hold onto them for long, as he believes &#8220;the game is rigged&#8221; against those who try to save up for larger rewards. "The most important thing to do with any loyalty program is to spend the points immediately. The second you get them, do not hold on to them."
For those who appreciate convenience, this strategy cuts down on the time spent managing multiple accounts, remembering payment dates, and tracking changing redemption rates. It's a straightforward approach that prioritizes immediate returns over long-term gains.

'The Game Is Rigged' Says Kevin O'Leary On Credit Card Points. He Claims They're Inflating Faster Than The Dollar And Always Cashes Out Fast

If you've been anywhere near the news lately, you already know—President Donald Trump's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45264016/trumps-tariffs-hit-mattels-barbies-will-americans-pay-a-couple-of-bucks-more-as-president-predicts">tariffs are constantly in the spotlight</a>. The 145% tariff on Chinese imports has everyone from big tech to small businesses scrambling, and yes, there's been plenty of worry over possible empty shelves.
But while <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/05/45263291/fed-keeps-rates-steady-warns-of-rising-uncertainty-about-the-economic-outlook">the Federal Reserve kept rates steady this week</a> and CEOs plotted their next moves, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45003790/mark-cuban-slams-amazon-for-ripping-off-american-sellers-as-tariffs-are-predicted-to-boost-ecommerce-brands-profits">billionaire Mark Cuban</a> did what he does best: he went online and said what a lot of people were probably thinking.

Cuban, who's never had a problem speaking his mind or calling out fellow billionaires, <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/mcuban.bsky.social/post/3loejyk5ktc2y">took to BlueSky on May 4</a> and dropped this gem:
"Given that most, if not all MAGA merch is made in China, I'll be really curious to see what happens to their pricing and availability."
That comment quickly gained traction—not just because it's Cuban, but because it pointed out a hilarious bit of irony. One BlueSky user jumped into the comments with a side-by-side photo: a MAGA cap with a "Made in China" tag next to a Biden hat proudly stamped "Made in USA."&nbsp;
For years, a significant portion of MAGA stuff—the very gear promoting Make "America" Great Again—hats, banners, shirts—is rumored to be produced in Chinese factories.<a href="https://x.com/onestpress/status/1911627451450470611?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1911627451450470611%7Ctwgr%5E99dc9295d44cc1c1014743663b3646911dcebcb4%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&amp;ref_url=https://m.economictimes.com/magazines/panache/are-donald-trumps-maga-hats-made-in-china-viral-video-claims-to-reveal-the-irony-behind-his-tariff-war-rhetoric/articleshow/120306632.cms"> Viral clips from Chinese state media</a> show workers making MAGA banners and flags.&nbsp;

Trump campaign's official website,<a href="https://www.trumpstore.com/product/classic-maga-hat/"> TrumpStore.com</a>, continues to state that its MAGA hats are "Proudly Made in USA." Federal Election Commission filings confirm that the campaign has consistently paid U.S.-based companies for the production and distribution of its hats.

While official campaign merchandise is domestically produced, a significant portion of MAGA-themed merchandise sold through third-party vendors, especially on online marketplaces, is manufactured overseas, including in China.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Back in 2020, <a href="https://abcnews4.com/news/local/where-is-maga-merchandise-made">WJLA-TV</a> in Washington, D.C. interviewed Rocky Granada, a vendor who sold Trump merchandise at over 60 rallies.&nbsp;
He proudly declared, "I work every day for Donald Trump. I live, eat, and drink for Donald Trump." But when asked about where the merchandise was made, he admitted, "Well, most of it is made in China, but we do have some stuff that's made in America." Holding up a scarf, he pointed out it was recycled cotton—one of the few American-made items he carried. Even some rally-goers were aware that their MAGA gear wasn't exactly boosting U.S. manufacturing.
On the same day as his MAGA merch post, Cuban reshared a <a href="https://x.com/mcuban/status/1919101808208654381">video clip of Trump on X</a> brushing off a question about helping small businesses deal with tariffs.&nbsp;
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mark-cubans-advice-for-lotto-winners">Many are surprised by Mark Cuban's advice for lotto winners: Cash or annuity?</a>
In the clip, when asked, "Are you considering tariff relief for small businesses?" Trump replied, "Why do you always mention, you know, a couple of little businesses. What about the car business? They're going to make a fortune."
Cuban didn't let that slide. He added his own response to the post, writing, "Should <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/05/45229642/major-economic-disaster-amid-trump-tariffs-american-small-business-owners-face-closures-price-hikes-and-losses">small businesses be ignored</a>? Or are big industries all that matter?"
As tariffs spark fresh uncertainty—and Trump has already paused most tariffs for 90 days except for those on China—the question now isn't just about macroeconomics. It's about whether the very slogan that fueled Trump's rise might become a casualty of his own trade war.
And Cuban? He'll definitely be watching.

Mark Cuban Mocks MAGA Merch Being 'Mostly Made In China' — Says He's 'Really Curious' How Trump's Tariffs Will Hit Their Prices And Availability

The late billionaire Charlie Munger, renowned for his financial acumen and longevity, believed the key to success was avoiding conventional pitfalls.
What Happened: Munger, who lived to 99, attributed his success to a simple and direct approach to life and work. He emphasized the importance of avoiding standard ways of failing, and was known for his cautious decision-making.
Munger, who lived in the same house for 70 years, believed that extravagant living often leads to dissatisfaction. 
&#8220;I avoided the standard ways of failing, because my game in life was always to avoid all standard ways of failing. You teach me the wrong way to play poker and I will avoid it. You teach me the wrong way to do something else, I will avoid it. And, of course, I&#8217;ve avoided a lot, because I&#8217;m so cautious,&#8221; Munger said in an interview <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H5Oom5Rjp_Y">with </a>CNBC.
His pragmatic approach extended to his spending habits. For instance, when his business associate at&nbsp;Berkshire Hathaway&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>), Warren Buffett, decided&nbsp;to replace a company jet,&nbsp;Munger saw&nbsp;the $6.7 million expense as&nbsp;excessive.

According to Munger, avoiding apparent risks, frivolity, and &#8220;insane&#8221; scenarios were key to his financial success and longevity. &#8220;Steer clear of insanity at all costs. Insanity is far more prevalent than you'd imagine. Avoid crazy at all costs. Crazy is way more common than you think. It&#8217;s easy to slip into crazy. Just avoid it, avoid it, avoid it,&#8221; Munger said.
Why It Matters: Munger&#8217;s philosophy offers valuable insights into his work ethic. 
His avoidance of conventional failure modes, cautious decision-making, and disdain for extravagance and risky ventures provide a refreshing perspective in a world often obsessed with quick riches and ostentatious displays of wealth.
His legacy serves as a&nbsp;reminder that success can be&nbsp;achieved through simplicity, caution, and&nbsp;a steadfast refusal to participate&nbsp;in &#8220;insane&#8221; ventures.

Grant Cardone has taken aim at Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, accusing him of being antagonistic toward the Trump administration and potentially trying to block the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/05/45187535/scott-bessent-defends-trumps-economic-agenda-as-engine-designed-to-drive-economic-growth-despite">president's pro-business agenda</a>.&nbsp;
In a May 7 <a href="https://x.com/GrantCardone/status/1920146251560935703">post on X</a>, Cardone said Powell has "already waited too long" to adjust interest rates, arguing that the Fed chief was slow to raise them in the past and is now hesitant to cut them as economic challenges mount.

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Cardone Criticizes Powell's Interest Rate Decisions</h2>
Cardone, CEO of Cardone Capital, laid out his case on X, claiming Powell's approach is "always reactionary, never proactive." He pointed to several signs that he says justify immediate rate cuts, including a slowdown in U.S. GDP, the weakest home sales since 2009, and a global economic downturn.&nbsp;
"Tons of economic data support rate cuts," Cardone wrote, adding that the U.S. has "some of the most expensive debt amongst developed nations."&nbsp;
He also pointed out that the U.S. residential and commercial real estate markets are at risk due to the high cost of borrowing, which he argues is squeezing small businesses and homeowners alike.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Allegations of Political Motivation</h2>
Cardone also suggested that Powell's reluctance to lower rates might be politically motivated. He said Powell "appears antagonistic to Trump Administration and Trump's goal to renegotiate international deals via tariffs," suggesting that the Fed chief might be trying to turn populist sentiment against Trump by refusing to cut rates, which Cardone claims is hurting the American middle class and small business.&nbsp;
Cardone implied that Powell's decisions could be a strategic move to create economic headwinds for Trump as the president pursues trade deals supposedly aimed at strengthening U.S. manufacturing and reducing trade deficits.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Fed Holds Rates Steady Despite Uncertainty</h2>
This criticism comes as the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45277558/dow-surges-over-250-points-following-fed-decision-investor-sentiment-improves-fear-greed-index-in-greed-zone">Fed decided</a> on May 7 to keep its key interest rate steady in a range between 4.25% and 4.5%, citing rising economic uncertainty and the risk of stagflation as U.S. tariffs disrupt global trade.&nbsp;

In a <a href="https://www.federalreserve.gov/newsevents/pressreleases/monetary20250507a.htm">statement</a> released after its latest policy meeting, the central bank said "uncertainty about the economic outlook has increased further." Powell in a press conference later&nbsp; emphasized that the U.S. economy is still in "solid shape" despite recent turbulence.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Cardone's Warnings About Economic Risks</h2>
However, Cardone argues that Powell's approach could be putting the U.S. economy at risk, particularly those facing some of the highest debt costs among developed nations.&nbsp;
He warned that Powell's stance might punish the middle class and threaten Trump's broader economic agenda. Cardone's concerns reflect a broader debate over whether the Fed's <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/etfs/specialty-etfs/25/01/42898157/feds-cautious-rate-cut-approach-boosts-appeal-of-these-3-etfs">cautious approach</a> to interest rates is slowing down the economy at a time when it needs support.
Additionally, the Fed's recent statement hinted at the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/05/45269703/stagflation-emerges-as-key-economic-risk-to-federal-reserve-policy-economists-warn">potential for stagflation</a>, a challenging mix of high inflation and slow growth, which hasn't been a significant issue in the U.S. since the early 1980s. This scenario, if realized, could further complicate Trump's efforts to stabilize the economy through trade renegotiations and domestic production incentives.
