On Monday, economist Peter Schiff questioned the U.S. government&#8217;s decision to hold Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) as a reserve asset amid the apex cryptocurrency&#8217;s ongoing slump.
What Happened:&nbsp;Schiff took to X to point out that Bitcoin&#8217;s market value has plunged&nbsp;30% from its January record&nbsp;high, dropping below $77,000.
&#8220;It&#8217;s hard to see the rationale for the U.S. government holding Bitcoin as a reserve asset when it can lose that much market value so quickly, &#8221; Schiff remarked. &#8220;The rationale will be even harder to see when it&#8217;s down 50%.&#8221;
The backers of Bitcoin&#8217;s safe haven narrative swung into action, with award-winning investment manager Michael A. Gayed writing &#8220;Store of value&#8221; in response to Schiff&#8217;s post. 
Over the past five years, Bitcoin has gained 1,408%, and 243% in the last two years. 
However, Schiff was quick to clap back. &#8220;If the price can drop over 30% in less than two months without anything really happening, how can that be a store of anything. What if the government held Bitcoin in reserve and needed to sell it?&#8221;

Additionally, Schiff pondered the fate of the Bitcoin Strategic Reserve and the Digital Asset Stockpile, both established by presidential executive order last week, without congressional approval. He asked what would happen if Donald Trump&#8217;s successor president decided that the U.S. didn&#8217;t need such a Bitcoin Strategic Reserve or Crypto stockpile and decided to &#8220;sell it all.&#8221;

What Happened: Bitcoin sank below $77,000 to hit a four-month low. The leading cryptocurrency was down 29% from its all-time high, wiping away nearly all of the gains since <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/opinion/24/11/41754497/how-to-trade-a-trump-win-and-a-trump-loss">Trump's victory</a> in the presidential elections.
Ethereum slipped below $1,800, its lowest since October 2023. Year-to-date, the second-largest cryptocurrency has plunged over 45%.
The downturn comes despite President Donald Trump signing an executive order for a <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/03/44183572/trump-establishes-strategic-bitcoin-reserve-funded-by-forfeited-assets-i-made-the-promise">Strategic Bitcoin Reserve</a> last week.
About $926 million was liquidated from the cryptocurrency market in the last 24 hours due to the slump, with $742 million in long positions getting erased.
That said, Bitcoin's recovery to $85,000 would liquidate about a billion in short positions.&nbsp;
Bitcoin's Open Interest fell 3.83% over the last 24 hours, while the number of traders positioned short on the asset soared to 52% of the total.
The Crypto Fear and Greed Index remained in the "Extreme Fear" zone, signaling anticipation of further downsides.

The global cryptocurrency market capitalization stood at $2.54 trillion, contracting 4.25% in the last 24 hours.

Concerns over the U.S. economy weighed on the market after Trump seemed to acknowledge the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44222440/financial-crime-weekly">possibility of a U.S. recession</a> in an interview over the weekend.

Analyst Notes: Well-known on-chain analytics firm CryptoQuant assessed whether the prevailing market phase was the beginning of a bear or bull dip.
"In a typical bull market, people move their sats in profit, resulting in an SOPR greater than 1, unlike in a bear market. From this perspective, the bull market still seems to be in play," the firm said, referring to the Spent Output Profit Ratio, a metric used to measure the profitability of transactions.
CryptoQuant also noted that the funding rates still resembled the 2020-21 bull market pattern.

Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin Sink Deeper As Recession Worries Overshadow Crypto Market: Arthur Hayes Has This Advice For Risk-Averse Traders

Ark Funds CEO Cathie Wood forecasts a &#8220;deflationary boom&#8221; as markets tumbled on Monday, with the Magnificent Seven tech stocks shedding <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/25/03/44237691/magnificent-7-sheds-over-750-billion-in-market-cap-in-one-day-is-big-techs-honeymoon-over">approximately $780 billion in market capitalization</a>.
What Happened: Wood wrote on X that the market is pricing in the final phase of a rolling recession, which she believes will grant President Donald Trump&#8216;s administration and the Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell "far more flexibility than investors anticipate." She predicted this shift would pave the way for "a deflationary boom in the second half of the year."

Investor concerns center on potential recession risks and Trump&#8217;s tariff plans. Despite the recent selloff, the Magnificent Seven maintains a median price-to-earnings ratio of 35, with Tesla still trading at more than 100 times earnings.
Polymarket bettors currently place the odds of a 2025 recession at 41%.

Cathie Wood Stands By 'Deflationary Boom' Call As Gene Munster Compares Market Turmoil To Dot-Com Bubble

Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) raised concerns on Monday about Robert F. Kennedy Jr.&#8217;s dinners with pharmaceutical executives at Mar-a-Lago. Warren questioned the integrity of Kennedy&#8217;s promise to &#8220;clean up corruption&#8221; as the Secretary of Health and Human Services. She highlighted the need for transparency regarding any potential deals made during these &#8220;million-dollar&#8221; dinners.
What Happened: Warren&#8217;s post on X comes in response to Kennedy&#8217;s actions since his confirmation as the Secretary of Health and Human Services under President Donald Trump. Kennedy, known for his controversial stance on vaccines, was confirmed by the Senate with a narrow vote of 52 to 48. His appointment has been <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/02/43703014/robert-f-kennedy-confirmed-as-trump-secretary-of-health">met with skepticism</a>, particularly from Democrats, who unanimously opposed his nomination.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
On Monday, Warren, along with Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.), wrote a letter to Kennedy and expressed concern over his attendance at private dinners with Big Pharma executives at Mar-a-Lago. 
These events, where executives paid millions of dollars to attend, raise questions about Kennedy&#8217;s commitment to reducing corporate influence in government, according to the senators. They wrote that Kennedy had previously vowed to &#8220;clean up corruption&#8221; and &#8220;stop the revolving door between industry and government,&#8221; but his participation in these dinners seems to contradict these promises.
The senators are requesting detailed information about these meetings, including what was discussed and any commitments made. They emphasize the need for transparency to ensure Kennedy&#8217;s actions align with his promises to protect Americans from high drug prices and corporate influence.
Pfizer and the Department of Health and Human Services did not immediately respond to Benzinga&#8217;s request for comments.

Why It Matters: The letter referred to a Wall Street Journal <a href="https://www.wsj.com/politics/policy/trump-mar-o-lago-corporate-dinners-healthcare-executives-a8f171b0">report</a> from February, which noted that Pharmaceutical executives were among the biggest donors to Trump's fundraising efforts before and after his election, attending exclusive Mar-a-Lago dinners to influence policy. Pfizer Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PFE#NYSE">PFE</a>) CEO Albert Bourla and others blamed high drug prices on insurance middlemen, a view Trump later echoed publicly. Trump hinted at possible tariffs on pharmaceuticals, while drugmakers sought favorable regulatory outcomes, with the industry's influence under his administration remaining uncertain.
Others that have attended Mar-a-Lago dinners include UnitedHealth's Andrew Witty, CVS's David Joyner and Cigna Group's David Cordani, according to that report.
Warren&#8217;s comments add to the ongoing scrutiny surrounding Kennedy&#8217;s role and his interactions with major industry players. Meanwhile, Kennedy was slated to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44209953/rfk-jr-takes-on-food-giants-calls-meeting-with-pepsico-and-general-mills">meet with executives</a> from major food companies, including PepsiCo and General Mills, on Monday

Kennedy&#8217;s controversial stance on vaccines and his interactions with industry leaders are critical in shaping public trust.

Elizabeth Warren Raises Questions On Robert F Kennedy's Mar-A-Lago Dinners With Big Pharma: American People Deserve To Know About The Deals Made

Tech billionaire and venture capitalist Peter Thiel is considering writing a book about ancient prophecies, the Antichrist, and Armageddon—and he believes we&#8217;re ignoring what may be the most dangerous threat of all: the rise of global authoritarianism disguised as peace.
What Happened: In an appearance on Uncommon Knowledge with Peter Robinson last year, Thiel discussed his growing interest in biblical prophecy and end-times theology. Robinson is a former speech writer for President Ronald Reagan and then-Vice President George H.W. Bush.
Thiel said modern society is dangerously fixated on apocalyptic threats like nuclear war and pandemics, while overlooking the deeper danger of centralized global control—the potential rise of an Antichrist figure.
"If the Antichrist were to come to power, it would be by talking about Armageddon all the time," Thiel warned. He cited scripture, calling attention to 1 Thessalonians 5:3: "The slogan of the Antichrist is peace and safety."
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/12/42366606/peter-thiel-is-a-stanford-grad-but-thinks-college-is-such-a-waste-that-he-offers-100000-to-students-who-quit-compares-education-to-santa">Peter Thiel Is A Stanford Grad But Thinks College Is Such A Waste That He Offers $100,000 To Students Who Quit – Compares Education To Santa</a>
He said society is too quick to embrace "one-world" solutions in the name of avoiding disaster. "We are just so grooved to the Antichrist solution," he said. "We don't worry about it because it presents itself as the solution to all these others."
The billionaire suggested that ancient prophecies may offer a more accurate lens for understanding modern geopolitical dynamics than most people realize.
While he has not officially confirmed a book, Thiel revealed he's been "talking to small groups" and workshopping ideas. "Surely the first step is to think about these things really hard," he said. "Ask the questions that are not being asked."

</figure>
Why It's Important: Thiel's comments are gaining traction not just for their theological depth, but because of who he is—and the power he wields in tech, finance, and politics.
He is a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44209697/how-peter-thiel-and-elon-musk-are-shaping-trump-administration">prominent investor in several</a> of Elon Musk's ventures such as Boring Co., SpaceX, and Neuralink, and has established a diverse portfolio that ranges from the software firm Palantir Technologies Inc. to investment companies backing top Silicon Valley startups.
According to Bloomberg's Billionaires <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/billionaires/profiles/peter-a-thiel/">Index</a>, Thiel currently has a net worth of $16.2 billion. A Stanford-educated attorney and self-described contrarian, he co-founded PayPal and Palantir Technologies and was Facebook's first outside investor.
His early $500,000 loan to Mark Zuckerberg in 2004 grew into a fortune after Facebook's success.

Palantir Cofounder Peter Thiel Might Write A Book About Ancient Prophecies, The Antichrist, And Armageddon— He Thinks We're Ignoring The Real Threat

<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/02/43912215/berkshire-hathaway-dumps-ulta-beauty-citi-and-etfs-but-buffett-just-bet-1-2-billion-on-this-alcohol-giant">Warren Buffett</a>, the CEO of Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>, BRK.B)), is renowned in the world of investing and leadership. With Berkshire valued at around $990 billion, his annual letters to shareholders are highly anticipated for insights into markets and governance. In <a href="https://www.berkshirehathaway.com/letters/2024ltr.pdf">this year's letter</a>, he admitted to past mistakes, and reconfirmed his commitment to transparency and lifelong learning.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Buffett on Mistakes and Leadership</h2>
In his letter, Buffett emphasized the need to address mistakes quickly. He referenced his late business partner, Charlie Munger, who coined the term "thumb-sucking" to describe the danger of inaction when faced with errors. "Problems can't be wished away – they demand immediate action," he said.&nbsp;
Don't Miss:

<li>Deloitte's fastest-growing software company partners with Amazon, Walmart &amp; Target – <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mode-mobile-2">Many are rushing to grab 4,000 of its pre-IPO shares for just $0.26/share!</a></li>

</ul>
This kind of honesty appears to be rare among CEOs. Many corporate leaders avoid using words like "mistake" or "wrong" in official communications and instead downplay setbacks. Buffett has made those words a staple in his letters, and that's what makes him accountable.
Buffett's record isn't perfect and he knows it. One of his biggest blunders was the 1993 acquisition of Dexter Shoe Company for $433 million in Berkshire stock. The deal ended up being worth billions in shareholder value, and he later called it the "<a href="https://www.reuters.com/article/business/buffett-calls-dexter-shoe-his-worst-deal-ever-idUSN29215048/">worst deal</a>." Another costly mistake was investing in ConocoPhillips at the peak of the oil prices, which resulted in significant losses.

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dpOHc7EQH_8">He also misjudged</a> IBM, and missed the opportunity to invest in Amazon and Google in the early days. He now calls those "errors of omission." Those are valuable lessons for investors who worship Buffett.
Beyond investing mistakes, Buffett acknowledges management mistakes. He has admitted to errors in evaluating executives and calls poor leadership choices "a bad marriage". To ensure a smooth transition, he has named Greg Abel as his successor. According to <a href="https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/international/us/who-is-greg-abel-the-man-chosen-to-succeed-warren-buffett-at-berkshire-hathaway/articleshow/117463624.cms?from=mdr">The Economic Times</a>, Abel's ability to balance operational excellence with strategic foresight makes him the natural choice to lead the company forward.

Berkshire Hathaway has $334.2 billion in cash, the most ever, and Buffett says it's because of high stock prices. According to <a href="https://www.wsj.com/finance/stocks/warren-buffett-berkshire-hathaway-cash-annual-letter-2c956952">The Wall Street Journal</a>, this huge war chest will allow Berkshire to buy during a market downturn.
However, some analysts say this large cash position means there are no good investment opportunities or Berkshire is being too cautious. As noted by <a href="https://www.ml.com/articles/how-much-is-too-much-cash-in-your-portfolio.html">Merrill Lynch</a>, holding too much cash could lead to lower long-term returns. Some say deploying capital into undervalued assets, even in a high-valuation market, will yield better results than sitting on the sidelines.

Warren Buffett Shares Biggest Investing Mistakes — $433M Deal That Cost Berkshire Billions And Trillion-Dollar Tech Stocks He Missed

Shares of Magnificent Seven technology companies soared in 2023 and 2024 due to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/24/07/39937929/magnificent-7-still-comprise-over-30-of-s-p-500-despite-tech-correction">optimism about artificial intelligence</a> and favorable macroeconomic conditions.

What Happened: The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) saw one of its biggest down days in recent years during the Monday trading session. The index as a whole fell 2.66%; at one point, it traded down around 3.5% before rallying.
The Magnificent Seven comprises around 30% of the index, according to data from Benzinga Pro. On Monday, shares of the companies posted major losses.
<ul>
<li>Apple Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) fell 4.85%</li>
<li>Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) fell 3.34%</li>

<li>Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) fell by a staggering 15.43%</li>
</ul>
Collectively, the seven companies shed around $750 billion in market capitalization in a single day.
While the S&amp;P 500 has not yet entered correction territory, the tech-focused Invesco QQQ Trust (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>) crossed the 10% threshold indicating a correction.
Why it Matters: An investor who bought $100,000 worth of each of the seven companies at the beginning of the year would be left with around $59,720.72 today.
Tesla&#8217;s stock has wiped out more than half of its value since all-time highs in December. The Austin, Texas-based company&#8217;s meteoric rise in the aftermath of the 2024 election was perhaps tied to optimism about CEO Elon Musk&#8216;s political influence in the Trump Administration.
Musk could be hindering Tesla&#8217;s operations with his political activism. Sales of the company&#8217;s electric cars <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43765071/teslas-california-sales-hit-four-year-low-amid-political-concerns-researcher-says-left-leaning-customers-are-turning-away-from-ev-giant">cratered in areas</a> that voted against Trump.

Nvidia&#8217;s stock has similarly posted massive losses in recent weeks, losing over $800 billion in value since Trump&#8217;s inauguration. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44101132/tech-sector-hammered-as-trumps-tariff-plans-spark-market-selloff-nvidia-arm-super-micro-lead-tech-bloodbath">Trump&#8217;s tariff plans</a> and repudiation of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/market-summary/25/03/44135177/trump-seeks-to-end-chips-act-who-stands-to-lose-heres-a-list-of-beneficiaries-that-could-be-affected">the CHIPS Act</a> may have scared off investors.
Before Trump&#8217;s second term, many market commentators saw the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/top-stories/24/06/39365183/warning-flags-expert-says-nvidia-in-bubble-ish-territory-points-to-potential-market-pullback">Magnificent Seven&#8217;s valuations</a> as unsustainable in the long run. Even after the February and March sell-off, the companies&#8217; median price-to-earnings ratio is 35. Tesla is still trading more than 100 times over earnings.
Bettors on Polymarket <a href="https://x.com/Polymarket/status/1899154423764418622">peg</a> the odds of a recession in 2025 as 38%.

Electric vehicle company Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) landed many deals with cities for vehicles that can be used by police or other government officials <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/top-stories/24/04/38257550/tesla-model-y-enters-anaheim-police-fleet-in-new-pilot-initiative">over the years.</a>
One of those recent deals was canceled, but it doesn't appear that politics got in the way.
What Happened: A $5 million contract between Tesla and the Baltimore, Maryland, was paused in September, giving way to a rival scooping up the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/electric-vehicle">electric vehicle deal.</a>
As reported by <a href="https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-contract-baltimore-paused-after-city-decided-to-go-in-a-different-direction/">Teslarati</a>, Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott paused the deal in September with the city opting to "go in a different direction" for a fleet of electric vehicles for the city.
"No Tesla units have been ordered, and none are in the city's fleet," city spokesman John Riggin said, confirming Tesla was not being used for the deal.
Riggin said there was no obligation to spend the money with Tesla and the $5 million amount is a ceiling for maximum value and not a minimum commitment. The contract, set to run until 2027 saw the city turn from Tesla to EV rivals including General Motors Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) and Ford Motor Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) for consideration.
City Comptroller Bill Henry <a href="https://www.baltimoresun.com/2025/03/06/baltimore-tesla-contract-paused/">told </a>the Baltimore Sun the city went back to buying Mustang Mach-Es from Ford, the vehicle that the Tesla deal originally replaced in July 2024.

Hedge Funder Says &#8216;Musk Circus&#8217; Could Lead To Stock Dropping 95%</a> Why It's Important: The Tesla contract has not officially been canceled, according to the report, but Henry said the city is going back to Ford is likely a telling sign.
Switching from Tesla to Ford could draw some attention given Tesla CEO Elon Musk's political push and backing of Donald Trump in the 2024 election.
The state of Maryland was <a href="https://elections.maryland.gov/elections/2024/general_results/gen_results_2024_1.html">won </a>by Kamala Harris in the 2024 election by a wide margin of 62.6% to 34.1% for Trump. Baltimore was also rather one-sided with Harris getting 195,109 votes to Trump's 27,984 votes.
The contract was paused in September, which came before Trump won and Musk amped up his push to help the president with the Department of Government Efficiency. Musk had already funded Trump's campaign and been an outspoken endorsee by this time though, so a political move by the city can't completely be ruled out.
Baltimore aims to have carbon neutrality by 2045 with a goal of electrifying the city's vehicle fleet by 2030. Tesla left out of future deals could show that the city prefers other automakers for various moves and could be viewed as a political move.
TSLA Price Action: Tesla stock dropped 15.43% to $222.15 at market close Monday versus a 52-week trading range of $138.80 to $488.54. Tesla stock is down 41.4% year-to-date in 2025 and up 25% over the last year.
Tesla stock is now trading below where it was when Trump won the 2024 election. Tesla stock closed at $251.44 on Nov. 5 and opened for trading at $284.67 on Nov. 6 after Trump's victory was announced.

Tesla Out, Ford In: City Of Baltimore Goes 'In A Different Direction' Reversing EV Deal From 2024

BlackRock (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BLK#NYSE">BLK</a>) CEO Larry Fink is offering a forthright take on what to expect in 2025. Speaking at the RBC Capital Markets Global Financial Institutions Conference in New York on March 4, he predicted a volatile year ahead but reassured investors that &#8220;the world's fine&#8221; and that long-term growth opportunities remain strong.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Short-Term Volatility, Long-Term Optimism</h2>
Fink acknowledged that 2025 will be full of uncertainty, pointing to inflation, market fluctuations, and shifting global trade policies. &#8220;Let me just start off and say the world's fine. I mean, [there&#8217;s] a lot of noise, we'll get by this. The United States will get by all the, I would say, social tensions between two opposing groups, we'll get by that,&#8221; he said, adding that &#8220;It's not as bad as it was in the '60s here in the United States. And I'm tired of having people say, have you ever seen anything like this before?&#8221;

</ul>
He believes that new technologies, shifting trade policies, and economic adjustments will create opportunities despite the turbulence. &#8220;We&#8217;re getting set up for a big economic boom. A lot of it's going to be related to new technologies, new science, which will present new opportunities,&#8221; he said.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Investing Through The Storm</h2>
Despite the expected volatility, Fink sees market dips as a chance to invest. &#8220;For long-term investors, if there's a big dip, good. Good time to buy,&#8221; he stated.
BlackRock is putting its money where its mouth is, expanding aggressively into private markets and infrastructure. The firm raised $641 billion in new flows last year and has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44135570/blackrocks-22-8-billion-port-deal-includes-key-panama-assets-as-trumps-canal-remarks-draw-attention">acquired 43 ports</a> from Hutchison Whampoa for $22 billion.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Role of AI and Technology</h2>
Fink highlighted the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42546621/elon-musk-agrees-as-satya-nadella-reflects-on-ais-global-impact-in-2024-from-cancer-research-to-rainforest-conservation-and-more">transformative impact</a> of artificial intelligence, calling it &#8220;very deflationary&#8221; in the long run. He pointed to its potential in industries like healthcare, logistics, and finance, but acknowledged its high costs are limiting broad adoption for now.
&#8220;AI right now is still the domain of large companies because the cost associated with AI is extraordinary,&#8221; he said. However, he expects those costs to decline, making AI more accessible and further fueling innovation.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Europe's Surprising Comeback</h2>
While the U.S. remains a powerhouse, Fink pointed to Europe as an emerging bright spot. &#8220;Europe has been in a bad trajectory for ten, twelve years,&#8221; he said. But now, with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/02/43980072/theres-no-reason-to-spend-1-trillion-on-the-military-trumps-statement-sends-us-defense-stocks-spiraling-while-europes-surge">increased defense spending</a> and renewed economic responsibility, he sees potential. &#8220;Europe has a real opportunity to truly start growing again.&#8221;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Labor Shortages and Job Creation</h2>
Fink also warned about labor shortages, particularly in skilled trades. &#8220;We are going to have shortages in this country and in every other country of electricians. Just the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/12/42486613/kevin-oleary-has-recently-noted-the-increasing-demand-for-data-centers-describing-them-as-a-notable-combination-of-real-estate-and-technology-with-considerable-potential">building out of these data centers</a>, the amount of electricians we need&#8230; these are incredible jobs,&#8221; he said.
While AI and automation will disrupt certain industries, he stressed that human interaction jobs, like nursing, will remain essential.
Fink's message is that 2025 will be tough, but those who stay invested could see strong returns. &#8220;This is going to be a rocky year in 2025, I would say for the markets as we try to get reoriented,&#8221; he admitted, but he remains confident that &#8220;the world and the U.S. will get by.&#8221;

Rocket Companies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RKT#NYSE">RKT</a>) announced on Monday it will acquire Redfin Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RDFN#NASDAQ">RDFN</a>) in a $1.75 billion deal to bring homebuyers an end-to-end, online real estate solution from browsing listings <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44218758/rocket-wants-1-75-billion-redfin-deal-to-change-how-america-buys-homes">to securing a mortgage.&nbsp;</a>
The combined company aims to create a real estate and lending powerhouse that offers customers a seamless experience from search to close.

&#8220;We want a customer to be able to check her phone to find out what she can afford, see which homes are just right for her, schedule a tour with a local, expert Redfin agent, and get pre-qualified for a loan — all in a matter of minutes,&#8221;&nbsp;said Glenn Kelman, CEO of Redfin.
Analysts are anticipating the acquisition to increase Zillow Group Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ZG#NASDAQ">ZG</a>) NASDAQ: Z) competition with Rocket Companies, now bolstered by Redfin&#8217;s assets and capabilities.&nbsp;
Barclays research analysts see a "modest" net negative for Zillow as Rocket and Redfin will likely be a stronger, more comprehensive solution once integrated, per TipRanks.&nbsp;
Gordon Haskett upgraded Redfin to Hold from Underperform following the acquisition news on Monday.  The firm noted a negative reaction in Zillow shares as it sees a combined Redfin/ Rocket platform creating stronger competition and a more integrated real estate platform competitor. 
What Else: It should be noted that Zillow may need to reevaluate its<a href="https://investors.zillowgroup.com/investors/news-and-events/news/news-details/2025/Zillow-and-Redfin-partner-to-make-apartment-hunting-easier-and-give-listings-more-exposure/default.aspx"> recent partnership</a> with Redfin, announced just last month, which made Zillow the exclusive provider of multifamily rental listings on Redfin&#8217;s platforms.&nbsp;
Zillow paid Redfin $100 million upfront for the five-year deal that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/02/43669201/zillows-mixed-quarter-analysts-see-strong-execution-but-caution-on-2025-guidance">was expected </a>to boost Zillow&#8217;s rental business, which generated $453 million in revenue in 2024. Redfin said it would focus on its core business areas, such as brokerage, lending and title services, while benefiting from increased traffic and revenue from its rental business.&nbsp;
It is unclear if the partnership between Zillow and Redfin will continue after Rocket's acquisition is completed.&nbsp;

Rocket, Redfin Deal Aims To Create End-To-End Real Estate Solution: Where Does That Leave Zillow?

President <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/10/41313947/expert-finds-trumps-tax-proposal-drains-money-from-95-of-households-and-funnels-it-to-the-top-5-">Donald Trump</a>'s latest proposal is turning heads and sparking lively debates. The plan? To offer "gold cards" to wealthy immigrants at a steep price of $5 million each.&nbsp;
These cards promise not only green card privileges but also a direct route to citizenship—a move designed to attract global capital and help reduce the nation's enormous debt, now topping $36 trillion, according to the<a href="https://apnews.com/article/trump-gold-card-visa-residency-investment-de220eae0f0729e48960a003c9ef7682"> Associated Press</a>.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Inside the Gold Card Proposal</h2>
The idea is as bold as it sounds. <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-gold-card-eb5-visa-5-million-immigration-oligarch-cbs-news-explains/">Trump claims</a> that selling one million of these gold cards could bring in $5 trillion, and if ten million are sold, the revenue could soar to an eye-popping $50 trillion.&nbsp;

</ul>
This would be enough to wipe out the national debt, leaving an extra $15 trillion for deficit reduction. In one memorable moment in the Oval Office, Trump emphasized the plan by stating, "Remember the words ‘gold card.'"
Global wealth figures add another layer to the story. Data from the <a href="https://www.ubs.com/content/dam/assets/wm/static/noindex/wm-germany/2024/doodownload/Global-Wealth-Report-2024.pdf">UBS </a>shows that there are about 50 million high-net-worth individuals worldwide—those with investable assets exceeding $1 million.&nbsp;
Yet nearly 90% of these individuals own between $1 million and $5 million. The smaller group with assets over $5 million, however, controls 56.8% of global millionaire wealth. In the U.S., around<a href="https://www.statista.com/forecasts/1478254/number-of-high-net-worth-individuals-usa"> 22.4 million high net worth individuals </a>are counted, with <a href="https://www.visualcapitalist.com/cities-with-the-most-millionaires-and-billionaires/">New York City</a> alone home to roughly 350,000 affluent residents whose collective wealth nears $3 trillion.
Trending: Can you guess how many Americans successfully retire with $1,000,000 saved?<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/1milsaved"> The percentage may shock you</a>.
The U.S. immigration system is already under strain. According to the <a href="https://www.cato.org/briefing-paper/green-card-approval-rate-reaches-record-lows">Cato Institute</a>, there were about 34.7 million pending green card applications at the start of fiscal year 2024—a steep increase from roughly 10 million in 1996.&nbsp;
The U.S. immigration system is already overwhelmed, with green card delays, staffing shortages, and outdated technology slowing processes. Surging border crossings and humanitarian cases further strain resources. These challenges raise concerns about whether Trump's proposed "gold card" program could function efficiently or if it would add to the system's growing backlog and inefficiencies.

Business executives add a dose of skepticism. Experts cited by<a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/02/28/gold-card-trump-visa-usa"> Axios</a> predict that instead of attracting millions of applicants, the gold card program might only draw a few thousand due to its high price tag.&nbsp;
Legal challenges also loom large. <a href="https://www.jdsupra.com/legalnews/why-president-trump-can-t-just-re-write-8610635">Experts</a> say current programs like the EB-5 visa operate under strict congressional limits. This means any new initiative, such as the gold card, would face significant legislative hurdles.&nbsp;
Moreover, while the plan is designed to attract <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43757272/occidental-petroleum-stock-is-down-32-but-warren-buffett-keeps-buying-more-does-he-know-something-the-market-doesnt">investors </a>capable of injecting capital and creating jobs, the requirement of having at least $5 million in assets excludes many wealthy individuals.&nbsp;

Analysts are specialists within banking and financial systems that typically report for specific stocks or within defined sectors. These people research company financial statements, sit in conference calls and meetings, and speak with relevant insiders to determine what are known as analyst ratings for stocks. Typically, analysts will rate each stock once a quarter. 
Some analysts publish their predictions for metrics such as growth estimates, earnings, and revenue to provide additional guidance with their ratings.
