With the SEC dropping its four-year lawsuit against Ripple, industry experts are examining whether Ripple (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/xrp/usd">XRP</a>) could overtake Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) in market capitalization, a feat that would require overcoming <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/03/44398151/ripple-ceo-announces-victory-as-sec-drops-appeal-in-xrp-lawsuit">significant market and structural challenges.</a>
What Happened: The legal resolution, confirmed by Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse, has already driven XRP's price to $2.53, a 13% increase, according to data from CoinMarketCap, reflecting renewed investor confidence.
However, analysts remain cautious about XRP's ability to surpass Ethereum, which currently holds a circulating market cap of $246 billion compared to XRP's $146 billion, per CoinMarketCap data.
Garlinghouse on Wednesday announced the end of the legal battle, which began in December 2020, stating, "The case is over," and framing it as a "victory" against the SEC's aggressive stance, which he said cost XRP investors $15 billion. 
The lawsuit, filed under former SEC Chairman Gary Gensler, alleged that <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/03/44314642/ripple-sec-lawsuit-nears-end-will-xrp-be-classified-as-commodity-like-ethereum">XRP was an unregistered security</a>, a claim rejected by a federal judge in 2023, who ruled that XRP does not meet the legal definition of a security.
This decision, upheld through the SEC's recent withdrawal, has broader implications for the crypto industry, as it aligns XRP's regulatory status with Ethereum, which the SEC classified <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44294333/xrp-gains-on-report-that-ripple-sec-case-could-end-soon">as a commodity</a> in 2018.
Garlinghouse criticized the SEC's approach, saying, "The SEC wasn't seeking justice—they were seeking to win a case at any cost," and noted that the ruling sets a precedent for future crypto regulations.

What Experts Are Saying: Sid Powell, CEO of Maple Finance, a decentralized finance platform managing $700 million in assets, views the SEC's decision as a positive development for XRP.
"The SEC win is positive for the price of XRP and signals a more cooperative and pro-innovation regulatory environment for crypto in the U.S.," Powell told Benzinga. 
He added that while institutional investors may have already factored in the news, retail traders could push XRP higher in the short term. 
Powell highlighted that XRP's fully diluted valuation has surpassed Ethereum's, but flipping its circulating market cap would be challenging due to Ethereum's $114 billion total value locked (TVL) in DeFi, despite recent concerns about TVL shifting to other Layer-1 blockchains.
Ryan Lee, Chief Analyst at Bitget Research, emphasized the broader impact of the ruling, stating that it "represents a turning point not only for Ripple but for the broader crypto industry." 
He pointed to potential growth drivers for XRP, such as increased adoption of Ripple's On-Demand Liquidity (ODL) service by financial firms and a more favorable U.S. regulatory stance, which could attract further investment. 
Lee noted that XRP briefly overtook Ethereum in market cap in 2018, but cautioned that Ethereum's strong fundamentals make a sustained flip unlikely without explosive adoption of XRP. 
Ripple's 2024 annual report noted that ODL processed $30 billion in transaction volume last year, with partnerships including Standard Chartered Bank and MoneyGram. 
Lee also recalled that XRP briefly surpassed Ethereum in market cap in January 2018, when XRP hit $3.84, but stressed that Ethereum's fundamentals, including its role in hosting 60% of DeFi's total TVL, make a sustained flip challenging without a dramatic increase in XRP adoption.
Adding to the sentiment, IOST Co-CEO Blake Jeong highlighted that the case's resolution signals "a potential softening of regulatory pressure on the industry." 
However, he noted that Ethereum also saw gains following the announcement and suggested that "XRP flipping Ethereum is still a long way off."
Slava Demchuk, CEO of AMLBot, warned that despite the positive momentum, "it takes more than a legal victory to flip ETH. ETH has a strong ecosystem, total TVL is over $114b + the gap between the capitalizations of ETH and XRP is $100b, for XRP to increase so much its capitalization needs much more than just a legal victory.&#8221;
He said the price of XRP may rise to $3 &#8211; $3.5, no more and that since the market is in a correction and the Fear and Greed index is at 20, it will not allow XRP to rise more than $3.5.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

How Is The Market Feeling About Anheuser-Busch InBev?

Athletic apparel and footwear company Nike Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NKE#NYSE">NKE</a>) could highlight a recent brand partnership, the impactof tariffs and progress under a new CEO when the company reports third-quarter financial results after <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings">market close Thursday.</a>
Here's a look at analyst estimates for the quarter, what analysts are saying and key items to watch.
Earnings Estimates: Analysts expect Nike to report third-quarter revenue of $11.01 billion, down from $12.43 billion according to data<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/?utm_source=BZprocontent&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1"> from Benzinga Pro.</a>
The company beat revenue estimates in the second quarter and has beaten analyst estimates for revenue in six of the last 10 quarters overall.
Analysts expect the company to report third-quarter earnings per share of 29 cents per share, down from 77 cents per share in last year's third quarter.
The company has beaten analyst estimates for earnings per share in six straight quarters and nine of the last 10 quarters overall.
What Analysts Are Saying: Needham analyst Tom Nikic sees minimal near-term risk to Nike estimates.
While he maintained a Market Perform rating and sees a strong near-term outlook, caution is given for fiscal 2026.
"We've realized upon building out our FY26 quarterly estimates that it will be difficult for NKE to achieve our prior out-year estimates," Nikic said.
The analyst lowered the price target from $84 to $80. "For 1H26, we expect another period of YoY decline in sales, margins, and EPS, followed by a return to growth in fiscal 2H26."
Nike stock may have found a floor with the hope that new CEO Elliott Hill can "right the ship," Nikic said, adding that the turnaround could take six months longer than originally thought.
Jefferies analyst Randal Konik <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/02/43933841/nike-shares-set-for-a-turnaround-top-analyst-calls-for-aggressive-buy-amid-new-ceos-turnaround-plan">upgraded Nike stock</a> from Hold to Buy and called the company a "new top pick" last month.
The analyst put strong confidence in Hill and a turnaround strategy that could improve the company's wholesale business and key partnerships, along with new product innovation.
Konik raised the price target on Nike stock from $75 to $115. He said the current valuation of Nike's stock is the lowest its been in ten years, creating a potential "valuation floor" for shares.
&#8220;With shares near a valuation trough, we believe now is the right time to aggressively buy shares,&#8221; Konik said.

Key Items to Watch: Nike recently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43789704/kim-kardashians-skims-joins-forces-with-nike-to-redefine-fitness-fashion-stock-gains">announced a new brand </a>called NikeSKIMS developed in partnership with shapewear company SKIMS, which was co-founded by Kim Kardashian.
The company could comment on how quickly these products will launch and what initial reception has looked like for the collaboration.
Nike aired its first Super Bowl commercial in more than two decades earlier this year. The commercial focused on female athletes. This could be a key topic for areas of growth for Nike going forward.
China could also be a key topic during the earnings release and management commentary. Greater China sales were down around 8% year-over-year in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/24/12/42605414/nike-q2-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-beat-shares-jump-nike-being-nike-again">the second quarter</a>, tied for the worse performing geographic region with North America.
Analysts and investors will be looking to see if China sales recover.
Tariffs will also be a key topic centered on China and other markets with Nike importing goods made in countries at risk to see higher tariffs in the future. Management will likely provide initial comments on being prepared for the higher costs and likelihood of short-term pressure.
If commentary is worse and provides details on higher costs for consumers or pressure on profit margins, the stock could take a hit. NKE Price Action: Nike stock is down 0.6% to $72.88 on Wednesday versus a 52-week trading range of $68.62 to $101.92. Nike stock is down 1.1% year-to-date in 2025, while shares have fallen over 27% in the last year.

Nike Q3 Earnings Preview: Analyst Says New CEO Can 'Right The Ship,' But It Could Take Longer Than Expected

Wedbush analyst Jay McCanless reiterated a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/len/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">Neutral rating</a> on Lennar Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LEN#NYSE">LEN</a>) ahead of its first quarter <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">FY25 earnings release on March 20</a>.
For the first quarter, the analyst estimates EPS of $1.70 versus the Refinitiv consensus estimate of $1.75 and revenue of $7.5 billion (+3% YoY vs. cons. of +2% YoY). The estimates do not account for the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/43625476" rel="noreferrer noopener">recent&nbsp;</a><a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/43625476" rel="noreferrer noopener">Millrose Properties</a><a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/43625476" rel="noreferrer noopener"> spin-off.</a>
Also, McCanless expects a 2% YoY decrease in orders to 17.8k homes for the quarter, in line with the consensus.
The analyst sees total closings of 17.2k, which is at par with Lennar&#8217;s guidance and the consensus estimate.
Also, the housing gross margin is expected at 19.1%, down 270bps YoY and in line with the company&#8217;s guidance, adds the analyst.
The analyst says that the gross margin and EPS estimates for the quarter are below consensus due to the expectation that mortgage rate volatility will likely impact Lennar&#8217;s housing gross margin and earnings negatively.
McCanless says he expects a strategy update from management as the Millrose spin-off is completed, potentially covering topics like equity investments in public stocks, Opendoor, and others.
Also, the analyst expects to get an operational update on the Millrose spin-off and any associated deal-related expenses.
Investors can gain exposure to the stock via&nbsp;iShares U.S. Home Construction ETF&nbsp;(BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ITB#BATS">ITB</a>) and John Hancock Fundamental All Cap Core ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JHAC#NYSE">JHAC</a>).

Analyst Takes A Cautious View On Lennar Ahead Of Q1 Earnings - Here's Why

On Wednesday, Novartis AG (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVS#NYSE">NVS</a>) announced safety and efficacy results from the Phase 3 program for investigational intrathecal onasemnogene abeparvovec (OAV101 IT) in a broad population of patients aged two to &lt;18 years with <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care" rel="noreferrer noopener">spinal muscular atrophy (SMA)</a>.
In the Phase 3 STEER study, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.novartis.com/news/media-releases/new-novartis-phase-iii-data-demonstrate-meaningful-efficacy-and-safety-results-intrathecal-onasemnogene-abeparvovec-broad-patient-population-sma" rel="noreferrer noopener">treatment</a> with OAV101 IT led to a statistically significant 2.39-point improvement on the Hammersmith Functional Motor Scale Expanded (HFMSE), an assessment of motor ability and disease progression, vs. 0.51 points in the sham control arm.

Novartis <a target="_blank" href="https://www.novartis.com/news/media-releases/novartis-intrathecal-onasemnogene-abeparvovec-phase-iii-study-meets-primary-endpoint-children-and-young-adults-sma" rel="noreferrer noopener">released</a> topline data from the Phase 3 STEER study in December 2024.
In the Phase 3b STRENGTH study, treatment with OAV101 IT in patients who have discontinued treatment with Biogen Inc&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BIIB#NASDAQ">BIIB</a>) Spinraza (nusinersen) or Roche Holdings AG&#8217;s (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RHHBY#OTC">RHHBY</a>) Evrysdi (risdiplam) demonstrated stabilization of motor function over 52 weeks of follow-up.
The results add to the growing body of evidence within the OAV101 IT development program, which has evaluated a broad population of over 170 patients with SMA, spanning a total of over 6.4 years across the STEER, STRENGTH, and Phase 1/2 STRONG studies.
OAV101 IT is an investigational gene replacement therapy designed to directly address the genetic root cause of the disease by replacing the nonworking&nbsp;SMN1 gene with a single dose.
In the registrational STEER study, efficacy and safety were studied in treatment naïve patients with SMA Type 2, aged two to less than 18 years, who could sit but had never walked independently. Key findings:
<ul>
<li>The trial met its primary endpoint of change from baseline to 52 weeks in HFMSE score, with OAV101 IT demonstrating a statistically significant 2.39-point improvement on the HFMSE vs 0.51 points in the sham group.</li>
<li>All secondary endpoints consistently favor OAV101 IT, despite not achieving statistical significance due to the pre-planned multiple testing procedure.</li>
</ul>
The open-label Phase 3b STRENGTH study evaluated the safety, tolerability and efficacy of OAV101 IT in patients with SMA aged two to less than 18 years who had discontinued treatment with nusinersen or risdiplam.&nbsp;Key findings:
<ul>
<li>OAV101 IT demonstrated a favorable safety profile that was consistent with the STEER study.</li>
<li>The motor endpoint of efficacy, HFMSE, demonstrated stabilization for the overall study population over 52 weeks. The increase from baseline to 52 weeks in HFMSE least squares (LS) total score was 1.05.</li>
</ul>
Price Action: NVS stock is down 0.75% at $111.38 at the last check Wednesday.

For many investors, the goal of achieving financial independence or building <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/10/41258919/dave-ramsey-tells-mark-cuban-75-of-the-worlds-richest-say-do-this-to-build-wealth-listen-to-them">wealth</a> in the long run focuses around strategies like dividend reinvestment plans and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44196217/53-year-old-with-200k-to-invest-seeks-best-stocks-for-retirement-should-i-go-all-in-on-etfs-or-bet-b">ETFs</a>.
DRIPs make it possible for investors to automatically reinvest dividends into additional shares, compounding returns in time. ETFs, on the other hand, offer an accessible way to diversify across securities, reducing risk while riding on the market growth.
But how much diversification is enough, and can a single ETF provide the growth and security needed for a 40-year investment time frame? That is a question one Reddit user struggles with.

</ul>
The user, a 31-year-old sewer builder with $40,000 in an IRA and $40,000 in a Roth IRA, is considering a long-term DRIP approach using just one ETF, Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SCHD#NYSE">SCHD</a>), which holds 101 securities. His target is to maximize returns over the next 30 to 40 years, but he's skeptical about this approach providing enough diversification.
&#8220;I&#8217;d DRIP for 30-40 years (retirement ages are likely going to increase, unfortunately!) And add max out the Roth for as long as I can. Is this a bad decision? Is one ETF with 101 securities insufficient diversification?&#8221; he asked Reddit.
Reddit has offered the investor plenty of advice in the comments; let&#8217;s analyze them below.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">$80,000 All In SCHD? Reddit Investors Offer Their Suggestions</h2>
Go for Growth Instead of Dividends in the First Few Years
Commenters emphasized that, at 31 years old, the investor should focus solely on growth-oriented investments rather than dividend-focused ones like SCHD.
&#8220;Dividends have their place, for sure. I personally would not do that! That amount of money I would put into growth only like the S&amp;P 500! Why? You will make more money in the long run through growth. You can then at retirement either sell the growth and buy dividends, which will make you a lot more money. Just have to maneuver how much to sell at a time for tax purposes. Or&#8230; just take a 4% payout, and it will be even more money payout,&#8221; a Redditor said.
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>
Replying to the poster&#8217;s question, &#8220;Is this a bad decision?&#8221; a commenter said, &#8220;Yes. It would likely reduce your gains over 30 or 40 years by hundreds of thousands of dollars vs. investing in the S&amp;P 500. I ran the numbers with someone who had the same bad idea yesterday here.&#8221;
A Redditor suggested a hybrid approach, with most of the portfolio allocated to growth ETFs and a smaller portion to dividend assets.
&#8220;With 30 or 40 years, I&#8217;d go all in on growth. [Invesco QQQ Trust (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/qqq#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>)] or similar, or 80/20 with the 20% being SCHD or similar. Dividends are nice when you need them. You don&#8217;t need them because of your time horizon.&#8221;
&#8220;Nah, as good as SCHD is, the fact is, you would be missing out on some very good growth by not owning tech and growth funds,&#8221; another comment reads.
A user recommended the poster split the portfolio between three different ETFs to mix in both growth and dividends.
&#8220;It&#8217;s not the number of securities that makes it somewhat insufficient, it&#8217;s the type of securities. You&#8217;re too young to be all in SCHD. Split it evenly three ways with [SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/spy#NYSE">SPY</a>)], QQQ, and SCHD,&#8221; he said.
See Also: If there was a new fund backed by Jeff Bezos offering a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/arrived-private-credit-fund">7-9% target yield with monthly dividends would you invest in it</a>?
Never Go All In Into One Asset
Many Redditors disagreed with the idea of going all in into an asset, and instead, suggested diversification as a solution.
&#8220;Not everyone needs to beat the market. Wealth preservation is good and SCHD will give you a nice retirement from dividends. Don't put all your eggs in one basket,&#8221; a Redditor wrote.
&#8220;Never go all in on one thing; go a little of this, a little of that, diversity your portfolio!&#8221; one comment says.
Besides advising the poster to avoid investing all his money in only one asset, this commenter suggested a different ETF and came up with a strategy.
&#8220;Putting all your eggs in one basket is very risky, I don't care how stable the fund is. Also, if you want to constantly be paying the taxes on the income being paid every year then great, have at it. But if you ask me, you'd be better off with your time horizon and you insist on going hands-off and putting it all into one ETF, put it all into [Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/vti#NYSE">VTI</a>)] and let it ride, DRIP, and keep adding to the position with any extra income. Let that nest egg grow 20 plus years, then move that much larger nest egg into SCHD later. That'll give you more income in your retirement,&#8221; he wrote.
&#8220;I wouldn't go all in. But make it a part of the portfolio that you consistently add to,&#8221; another commenter said.

Investor With $40K IRA and $40K Roth IRA Eyes 40-Year DRIP Strategy – 'Is One ETF With 101 Securities Insufficient Diversification?'

Before Elon Musk became a household name—launching rockets, revolutionizing cars, and single-handedly turning tech CEOs into celebrities—he was someone else entirely: a determined college kid in Canada awkwardly holding melting ice cream cones, relentlessly courting his future first wife, Justine Musk. In her unforgettable <a href="https://www.marieclaire.com/sex-love/a5380/millionaire-starter-wife/">2010 Marie Claire essay,</a> Justine pulls back the curtain on life with the billionaire visionary long before the world started hanging on his every tweet.
Their story took a sharp turn in late spring 2008, when Elon, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/25/03/44209885/elon-musks-ex-wife-spills-the-truth-about-what-it-really-takes-to-be-a-billionaire-there-is-no-roadmap-no-blueprint-for-this">entrepreneur and father of Justine's five young sons</a>, abruptly filed for divorce. Just six weeks later, he texted that he was already engaged—to Talulah Riley, a stunning British actress in her early 20s best known for her role in 2005's "Pride and Prejudice." Justine's reaction was refreshingly honest: "Two of the things that struck me were: a) "Pride and Prejudice" is a really good movie, and b) My life with this man had devolved to a cliché." She adds dryly, "At least she wasn't blonde. I found that refreshing."

</ul>
When Justine first met Elon at Queen's University in Ontario, she wasn't exactly swept off her feet. She was an aspiring writer from a small Canadian town, fresh from a dramatic romance with a rebellious older guy who'd park his motorcycle beneath her dorm window. Elon wasn't like that—he was a clean-cut, upper-class kid with a South African accent who insisted they'd met at a party she knew she&#8217;d never attended. When he invited her out for ice cream, she agreed—but promptly blew him off. Years later, he&#8217;d confess he&#8217;d noticed her across a crowded common room and decided he needed to meet her.
But Elon, even back then, wasn&#8217;t known for accepting defeat. A few hours later, Justine heard a polite cough behind her in the overheated student lounge. Elon stood awkwardly, two chocolate-chip cones dripping down his wrists. As Justine later wrote, "<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/12/42741855/elon-musks-ex-wife-and-mother-of-5-kids-says-he-wont-take-no-for-an-answer-he-locks-his-gaze-on-to-something-and-says-it-shall-be-mine">He's not a man who takes no for an answer.</a>"
Over the years, Elon kept pursuing her, even after transferring to Wharton. Unlike previous boyfriends who dismissed her ambition as threatening or &#8220;competitive,&#8221; Elon admired it. Justine once pointed at bookstore shelves, dreaming aloud of having her own books there. Elon, unlike anyone before, took her seriously: "You have a fire in your soul," he said.
Trending: ‘Scrolling To UBI' — Deloitte's #1 fastest-growing software company allows users to earn money on their phones. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mode-mobile-2">You can invest today for just $0.26/share with a $1000 minimum.</a>
Things escalated when Musk's first big tech venture, Zip2, took off. He was suddenly wealthy—flying Justine out to Silicon Valley for weekend visits, casually buying her endless books. Their relationship deepened quickly. But alongside romance came subtle red flags. During their wedding reception in January 2000, Elon matter-of-factly announced, &#8220;I am the alpha in this relationship.&#8221; Justine brushed it off, trusting their bond.
But wealth and success amplified those early warnings. Musk's net worth soared beyond $100 million when eBay bought PayPal in 2002, thrusting the young couple into an extravagant lifestyle filled with private jets, exclusive parties, and Hollywood glamour. Yet behind closed doors, cracks widened. Elon's drive for dominance seeped into their marriage. He frequently criticized Justine, bluntly telling her, "If you were my employee, I would fire you."
In a deeply personal reflection, Justine admits how foreign her life had become. &#8220;I barely recognized myself,&#8221; she writes. &#8220;I had turned into a trophy wife—and I sucked at it. I wasn&#8217;t detail-oriented enough to maintain a perfect house or be a perfect hostess. I could no longer hide my boredom when the men talked and the women smiled and listened.&#8221; Elon pushed her toward Hollywood perfection, urging her to go blonder, platinum even—something she stubbornly refused.

If They Could Show A Plan For Ending World Hunger He'd Donate $6 Billion – ‘I Will Sell Tesla Stock Right Now And Do It'</a>
The most devastating chapter of their story unfolded with the tragic loss of their first-born son, Nevada Alexander, at just 10 weeks old to sudden infant death syndrome. Rather than grieving together, they pulled further apart. Elon saw Justine's grief as "emotionally manipulative," pushing her to bury her pain and swiftly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/25/03/44346696/grimes-slams-elon-musk-for-putting-their-children-in-spotlight-ive-tried-begging-public-and-my-kids-dad-to-keep-them-offline">have more children</a>. IVF treatments followed quickly, producing twins and triplets. But something vital was already irreparably broken.
By 2008, their marriage quietly imploded. Justine's wake-up call came in the form of a serious car accident—a moment that crystallized just how much had unraveled. Her first instinct wasn't gratitude for survival; instead, chillingly, she thought, &#8220;My husband is going to kill me.&#8220;
Today, Justine's brutally honest reflection continues to resonate as Elon's star rises ever higher, reminding readers of the complex human story behind the headlines.

Elon Musk's First Ex-Wife Says She 'Sucked' At Being His Trophy Wife And Recalls Him Saying: 'If You Were My Employee, I Would Fire You'

Market downturns can be both terrifying and opportunistic for investors because while some see drops as a reason to panic, others view them as a chance to buy assets at a discount.
Still, investing during a <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/etfs/broad-u-s-equity-etfs/25/02/43955914/market-could-enter-a-real-correction-expert-warns">market</a> decline is not without risks, especially when using high-risk strategies like leveraging <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/03/44332599/exclusive-what-industry-experts-are-saying-about-the-openai-oracle-nvidias-100b-stargate-project-etfs-that-stand-to-gain">ETFs</a> or betting heavily on a continuous downturn. One Reddit user has sparked a lively debate with his very aggressive approach to the current market.
The poster, in his 30s with nearly $1 million to invest, is betting big on a further market drop. He has already committed $370,000 to this approach, which involves selling Invesco QQQ Trust (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>) and using the proceeds to buy ProShares UltraPro QQQ (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TQQQ#NASDAQ">TQQQ</a>)–a 3x leveraged version of QQQ–and is willing to invest another $550,000.

</ul>
&#8220;Normally, I hold QQQ and sell monthly calls [out of the money] with a .15 delta. Try to make 4%-7% on top with dividends. Now that TQQQ is coming down, I am selling QQQ, doing some tax loss harvesting, and buying TQQQ (1x-&gt;3x). The price target for sale is $86. Hoping the market will keep dropping. I swap 50 shares of QQQ for every 1% it drops. I estimate I&#8217;ll be out of money around 25%-35%, depending on how closely I stick to the plan,&#8221; he wrote.
But his strategy isn&#8217;t without concerns. He questions whether the market will actually drop that much, asking, &#8220;What if we don't get there?&#8221; The Reddit community had plenty to say about the investor&#8217;s strategy, so let&#8217;s dive into the comments they left.
Trending: BlackRock is calling 2025 the year of alternative assets. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">One firm from NYC has quietly built a group of 60,000+ investors who have all joined in on an alt asset class previously exclusive to billionaires like Bezos and Gates.</a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Betting Big on Market Drop–Reddit Has a Lot to Say</h2>
Leveraged ETFs are Way Too Risky
Several commenters highlighted the fact that while many investors use leveraged ETFs to amplify their returns, they are risky and urged the poster to proceed with caution.
&#8220;Taking profits? My dude, TQQQ is going under $35 by May. I do swing trade just because of the values and % of my portfolio, but [ProShares UltraPro Short QQQ (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/sqqq#NASDAQ">SQQQ</a>)] will still outperform just about any bearish tech strategy unless you just get super lucky with puts,&#8221; a commenter said.
One Redditor explained the concept of decay, which can erode returns over time, meaning that even if the market goes sideways or stabilizes, the investor&#8217;s TQQQ holdings could lose value.
&#8220;It&#8217;s called decay and it happens due to volatility (happens to everything that can be publicly traded, actually) and due to borrowing costs for the leverage. Borrowing costs increase when interest rates are higher, and decrease when interest rates are lower. So over time, even if the price of the underlying stays flat, the price of a leveraged ETF will converge to zero,&#8221; he wrote.
Another user reinforced the idea that leveraged ETFs aren&#8217;t ideal for long-term holding.
&#8220;I would be taking profits soon. S—t decays so fast,&#8221; he said.
While most comments were against the investor using this strategy, some Redditors shared they also employ this approach and agree with it.
&#8220;Wow, I actually am using the same method. I will sell 10 shares of QQQ to exchange TQQQ for every 1% drop. My average cost is $67. However, I only have $150,000 in total before the deadline,&#8221; a Reddit user shared.

Timing is Everything With High-Risk Strategies
Redditors also cautioned the investor to time the trades well by aligning them with the market momentum rather than fighting it and holding.
&#8220;You didn&#8217;t learn an even more valuable lesson: Don&#8217;t fight the momentum! The momentum has been down, down, down. Until we get economic data, policy data, and/or technical indicators that show the momentum is changing, play the momentum! You didn&#8217;t learn your lesson well. You let [fear of missing out] on a reversal (greed) determine your trade, instead of letting market momentum dictate the trade. And now you are paying the piper,&#8221; a user wrote.
A commenter offered a counterpoint, suggesting that the market may have already bottomed out.
&#8220;I think we bottomed today. There&#8217;s no real reason for the sell-off other than fear and over-leverage. It will come back in time. Per seasonality, April and May are strong months so might as well position now even if we may still be volatile in the short term,&#8221; he said.
&#8220;Once tariffs raise prices in the next months, then hit [consumer price index] and inflation pops up, then the Fed raises rates, we'll be in a longer cycle bear market and TQQQ will bottom after the sell-off. Probably 9-12 months from now,&#8221; another Redditor warned.

12 Information Technology Stocks Moving In Wednesday's Intraday Session

Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RCL#NYSE">RCL</a>) stock is rebounding today. This comes after yesterday's sell-off of 7.3%. The company will be reporting its first-quarter results on Friday. 
Royal Caribbean is our Stock of the Day.
Some people are proponents of the Random Walk Theory. This theory states stock prices are random. This means past movements and trends cannot be used to predict a stock's future movement.
Random Walk also says it is impossible for an investor to beat the market.
This theory is easily proved to be false. If it was true, every price level in the market would have the same amount of importance. Support and resistance levels would not exist. But clearly, they do.
This can be seen on the chart of Royal Caribbean.

The stock recently rallied. But the rally ended when it ran into resistance — or a large group of sellers — around the $220 level.
This wasn't a coincidence. The price action wasn't random at all.
The reason why there was resistance at this level is because it had previously been a support level. Support levels converting into resistance levels is a common occurrence in the stock market.
It is because some of the people who bought shares around $220 in January came to think they made a mistake when the support broke on March 6 and the price fell lower. Many of them decided to hold onto their losing positions. But they vowed to sell if they could eventually do so at breakeven.
As a result, when Royal Caribbean rallied back up to $220, these remorseful buyers flooded the market with sell orders. The large amount of these orders formed resistance at the same price that had previously been support.
It wasn't random.
If Royal Caribbean continues to move higher, there is a good chance it could stall out around $220 again. Savvy traders know that a level that has been important in the past can become so again in the future.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Charles Schwab has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Charles Schwab's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Charles Schwab's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 3.32%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>
