You'd think a man worth $20 million wouldn't blink at a check for $800. You'd be wrong — if that man is Jeff Garlin.
The "Curb Your Enthusiasm" star reportedly bailed on a stand-up show at the Calabasas Country Club in California last week after discovering the club planned to pay him with a check instead of the cold hard cash he'd asked for. <a href="https://pagesix.com/2025/06/04/celebrity-news/curb-your-enthusiasm-star-jeff-garlin-walks-out-of-standup-show-over-800-check/">According to Page Six</a>, Garlin had agreed to do the gig — part of the club's recurring <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45533713/comedian-amy-schumer-has-quietly-invested-her-45-million-fortune-in-real-estate-including-her-new-or">comedy night series</a> — with the condition that his $800 fee be paid in actual bills. Not Venmo. Not direct deposit. Not a check. Just cash.

</ul>
So when the check came out, Garlin did the opposite — he walked out.
"The crowd was pissed," a source told Page Six. "Most of them had come to see Jeff."
Roughly 40 people had shown up for the dinner-and-comedy event, nestled between bingo nights and brunches on the country club calendar. And while $800 may not exactly scream "headliner budget," fans weren't expecting the headliner to bail altogether — especially not one who, by most estimates, has a <a href="https://www.realitytea.com/2025/06/06/jeff-garlin-net-worth-2025-money-make-have-earnings/">personal net worth of around $20 million</a>.
But Page Six sources insist it wasn't about the money. "Jeff can be a very neurotic guy," one insider said. "He can get hung up on things."
To be fair, fans of Curb have seen this movie before — usually starring Larry David. But this time, it was Garlin in real life, making a very Curb-worthy exit over a principle few saw coming.

Garlin's comedy roots run deep — Second City in the '80s, followed by decades in TV, film, and voiceover work. He spent 10 seasons on The Goldbergs, voiced characters in Pixar hits like "Toy Story 3" and "WALL-E," and has been David's onscreen wingman through 12 seasons of HBO's "Curb Your Enthusiasm."
Outside the spotlight, Garlin has also shared more personal struggles. In 2022, he posted a <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CiwMoMPss8-/">photo to Instagram</a> showing a black-and-white image of comedy legend Jack Benny reacting to Mad magazine, captioning it:
"Bipolar is a mother—. Sometimes it's just too much to deal with. I'm doing the best I can. This the first time that I've opened up about this."
He hasn't commented on the Calabasas incident. But one thing's for sure — Jeff Garlin doesn't bend. Especially <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">not over an $800 check</a>.
Unless it folds, don't even try.

Here's How Much You Would Have Made Owning Houlihan Lokey Stock In The Last 5 Years

The world of initial public offerings (IPOs) has seen several standout performers over the past year. CoreWeave, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRWV#NASDAQ">CRWV</a>) saw a massive rally following its late March debut and Circle Internet Group, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRCL#NYSE">CRCL</a>) burst onto the scene last week with<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/45835006/why-circle-internet-group-shares-are-trading-higher-by-around-18-here-are-20-stocks-moving-premarket"> its successful IPO. </a>
But will they continue the upward trend and achieve sustained growth like Reddit, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RDDT#NYSE">RDDT</a>) and Astera Labs, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALAB#NASDAQ">ALAB</a>) following their 2024 IPOs? 
CRCL: Circle's IPO was priced at $31 and shares rocketed to $88 by the end of the first trading day. The stock climbed to over $107 the following day and marked a two-day surge of nearly 250%, setting a new record for IPOs raising $500 million or more since 1980, according to <a href="https://fortune.com/2025/06/10/circle-ipo-stock-price-valuation-outlook/">Fortune</a>.&nbsp;
Circle shares closed at $105.91 on Tuesday, with the newly listed stock having a $25.64 billion market cap.

CRWV: CoreWeave has also proven to be a powerhouse following its late March IPO, which debuted at $40 per share. The stock closed Tuesday at $154.90, up more than 280% since its IPO, with a market capitalization of more than $89 billion.  
However, the stock<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/45868311/coreweave-stock-falls-after-da-davidson-flags-massive-downside-risk"> dipped Tuesday on news</a> that DA Davidson analyst Gil Luria highlighted some "red flags" and called into question the value being generated for equity holders.
"CoreWeave disclosed a pro forma contract financing structure example to analysts earlier today, trying to indicate shareholders will get some returns during the duration of the contracts being signed. We believe the disclosure (even if accepted at face value) very clearly illustrates the exact opposite point," Luria said in a note to clients on Tuesday.
RDDT, ALAB: Both Reddit and Astera Labs had their IPOs in March 2024 and both stocks have maintained large gains in the following year.
Reddit's initial public offering was priced at $34 per share, valuing the company at approximately $6.4 billion. Reddit shares closed on Tuesday at $117.09 with a market capitalization of $21.68 billion. 
The social media platform's financial performance has been strong since its IPO, with a 68% increase in revenue to $348.4 million in the third quarter of 2024 and its first quarterly profit since going public.&nbsp;
Astera Labs' initial public offering was priced at $36 per share in March 2024 and the stock ended Tuesday's session at $91.46, more than double the IPO price. 
Both Astera Labs and Reddit have delivered strong IPO performances and sustained significant long-term gains.
Circle and CoreWeave have the potential to perform like Reddit and Astera Labs if they can maintain their current growth trajectories, manage risks and execute on their strategic plans.

Some 39% of companies plan to reduce Pride Month engagements this year, a recent <a href="https://www.gravityresearch.com/posts/corporate-approaches-to-pride-2025/">poll</a> of more than 200 corporate executives conducted by Gravity Research found.
Despite Pride Month becoming a splashy marketing event for brands over the last decade, respondents say that the Trump administration's policies towards DEI have them rethinking their participation.&nbsp;
Fear of reprisal is the driving factor behind reduced Pride Month engagement for 61% of executives. Pushback from conservative activists and other GOP policymakers are also major concerns for the companies, the survey found.

</ul>
"It's clear that the administration and their supporters are driving the change," Gravity Research President Luke Hartig told <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2025/06/02/business/brands-pride-month-trump-lgbtq">CNN</a>. "Companies are under increasing pressure not to engage and speak out on issues."
The subdued approach to Pride Month is a part of a broader pivot in corporate America. CNN says that many businesses are now scrapping all kinds of programs designed to increase diversity in the workplace, thanks to pressure from the administration.
However, advocates for gay, lesbian, and transgender Americans say that companies that bend to the pressure and downplay support for LGBTQ+ customers and employees risk losing business, especially as a <a href="https://news.gallup.com/poll/656708/lgbtq-identification-rises.aspx">Gallup poll</a> found that more Americans than ever before – 9.3% – identify as LGBTQ+.&nbsp;
Trending: Can you guess how many retire with a $5,000,000 nest egg? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/5mil-nest-egg-adv">The percentage may shock you</a>.
"By weaponizing federal agencies like the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and the Justice Department to intimidate companies that support LGBTQ+ inclusion, this administration is creating an anti-business, anti-worker atmosphere," Eric Bloem, vice president of corporate citizenship at the Human Rights Campaign Foundation, told CNN.
"Companies that show up only when it's convenient, or backtrack the moment there's political pressure, risk losing trust and credibility," he said.
The executives polled by Gravity Research seem to be aware of this. Sixty-five percent of respondents said that they were actively preparing for backlash over their decision to reduce involvement in Pride Month by crafting reactive communication strategies and training HR teams to manage internal sentiment.

A quieter approach to Pride Month marketing doesn't necessarily mean that companies are backpedaling on support for their LGBTQ+ customers and employees.&nbsp;
"I do see there's pivoting happening (for Pride Month). What I don't see is corporates walking away from the LGBTQ community," the president of advocacy group GLAAD, Sarah Kate Ellis, told CNN. "They don't want to be caught in the crosshairs of this presidency, and they don't want to become the headline like Target or Bud Light."
Bud Light sales plummeted in 2023 after a partnership with transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney. That same year, activists and customers attacked Target over its Pride merchandise. The backlash also led to a major drop in sales for the retailer.
Instead, "Companies are going deeper and wider, rather than supporting an event," Ellis said. "They're finding better ways to thread their work supporting the LGBTQ community into their organizations."

One of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/22/06/27923839/khaby-lame-becomes-most-followed-tiktok-account-and-partners-with-this-crypto-company">most followed social media</a> stars globally was detained by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and granted voluntary departure from the country.
Here's the latest.
What Happened: Efforts from the White House administration <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45830565/multiple-waymo-vehicles-set-on-fire-during-los-angeles-anti-ice-protests-elon-musk-says-this-is-not-ok">are ramping up</a> to detain illegal residents in the U.S. and deport them.
Khaby Lame, who is the most followed person on TikTok, was recently detained by ICE in Las Vegas for overstaying his visa, according to a New York Post <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/06/09/us-news/worlds-most-followed-tiktok-star-khaby-lame-allowed-to-self-deport-after-being-detained-by-ice/">report</a>.
Lame attended the Met Gala in New York City in May before later being arrested at the Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas on June 6.
"U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detained Seringe Khabane Lame, 25, a citizen of Italy, June 6, at the Harry Reid International Airport, Las Vegas, Nevada for overstaying the terms of his visa," a senior Department of Homeland Security official told the New York Post.
Lame was "granted voluntary departure" on June 6 and since "self-deported" the U.S., the official said.
The content creator, who was born in Senegal, came to the U.S. on April 30 with a temporary visa.

Why It's Important: Lame was born in Senegal and moved to Italy at a young age with his family, before later becoming a resident of the European nation.
Laid off from his factory job in Italy during the COVID-19 pandemic, Lame turned to TikTok and content creation after moving back to his family apartment.
Lame quickly found success by mocking "life hack" videos with reaction videos, which show him accomplishing tasks in an easier way and then using his signature gesture.
In 2022, Lame became the most-followed account on TikTok, passing Charli D'Amelio. Today, Lame has over 162 million followers on the platform.
With reports on Lame's detainment and deportation, political activist Bo Loudon, a Donald Trump supporter, has been linked to reporting Lame to ICE authorities.
"Far-left ILLEGAL ALIEN TikToker Khaby Lame was just arrested and is now in ICE custody under President Trump. I discovered he was an illegal who overstayed an invalid VISA, evaded taxes, and I personally took action to have him deported. No one is above the law!" Loudon <a href="https://x.com/BoLoudon/status/1931118528213741843">tweeted</a>.
Loudon's report and Lame's detainment have gone viral and could show the power of social media and activists turning in people to ICE and having them deported. There is also no current evidence that Lame is &#8220;far left&#8221; politically. 
The detainment also comes as TikTok faces <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44655624/trumps-tariff-hike-pushes-back-tiktok-us-deal-as-china-opposes-the-sale-extending-the-deadline-for-bytedances-divestment">a pending ban</a> in the U.S. if a deal is not reached to sell the U.S. arm of the social media company.
Lame has not publicly addressed the incident.

$1000 Invested In Tyler Technologies 10 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

You can only tell the "Bezos started Amazon in his garage" story so many times before it starts to feel like a corporate bedtime story. But long before the garage and the buff billionaire energy, Jeff Bezos was just a scrawny Texas kid who, according to his mom, "barely made the weight limit" to play youth football.
That detail — along with most of what follows — comes from <a href="https://www.wired.com/1999/03/bezos-3/">"The Inner Jeff Bezos," a 1999 Wired profile</a> that dug into the early years of the now-spacefaring mogul.

Jackie Bezos said her son wasn't always the most socially comfortable kid. To help him fit in, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45241136/jeff-bezos-says-he-won-the-lottery-with-his-teen-mom-she-had-him-at-17-took-him-to-night-school-then-invested-her-245k-savings-in-amazon">she and her husband</a> signed him up for the high-stakes world of Texas football — and expected the worst. "I thought he was going to get creamed out there," she admitted. But just two weeks later, her undersized son was named defensive captain. Why? He was the only kid who could remember all the plays — not just his own, but the entire squad's. Of course, he was.
That same brainpower showed up in more geek-approved ways, too. In elementary school, Bezos enrolled in the Vanguard program at Houston's River Oaks Elementary, a magnet school for academically advanced students.&nbsp;
The Wired profile also mentioned how Julie Ray's 1977 book "Turning on Bright Minds" followed 12-year-old Jeff — pseudonym "Tim" — through a typical school day, describing him as "friendly but serious," and "possessed of general intellectual excellence." He was, notably, "not particularly gifted in leadership," though that might come as a surprise to his future employees and rocket engineers.
Trending: Maximize saving for your retirement and cut down on taxes: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/wideradvisor-retirement-planning">Schedule your free call with a financial advisor to start your financial journey – no cost, no obligation</a>.&nbsp;
But if he wasn't a born leader, he was a born sci-fi addict. Once his school got access to a mainframe computer, Bezos and friends would spend hours playing a primitive Star Trek game, hunting down cloaked Klingons on a three-by-three matrix. Forget flag football — this is what real future billionaires were doing in the '70s.
By high school, Bezos had his eyes on the stars — literally. While other kids dreamed of becoming astronauts, he told people he <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/space/25/06/45788673/jeff-bezos-blue-origin-reveals-new-space-vehicle-for-lunar-and-martian-missions">planned to be a space entrepreneur</a>. "He said the future of mankind is not on this planet, because we might be struck by something, and we better have a spaceship out there," recalled the father of his high school girlfriend, Rudolf Werner.
That might've sounded like sci-fi-fueled delusion back then — the kind of thing a teenager says after too many NASA brochures and not enough sleep — but Bezos wasn't bluffing. He attended a high school space initiative at NASA's Huntsville facility in Alabama, where his plans for a future among the stars started taking shape. According to his science teacher Bill McCreary, "Oh, he had ideas about space promotion!"

Those ideas weren't about being the next astronaut on a shuttle. Bezos wanted to build the shuttle. Run the launchpad. Own the orbital infrastructure. And if you've seen <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/space/25/04/44786258/katy-perry-lauren-sanchez-among-blue-origins-all-women-ns-31-crew-set-to-take-flight-in-west-texas">Blue Origin's New Shepard rocket</a> or his statements about colonizing space, well — that wasn't just a passing teenage obsession. It was a business plan in beta.
Even today, he hasn't let go of the big vision. When reminded in the Wired interview of his youthful warnings that Earth was vulnerable to extinction-level disasters, Bezos chuckled — but only for a second. "I wouldn't mind helping in some way," he said. "I do think we have all our <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45483482/jeff-bezos-once-told-employees-i-predict-one-day-amazon-will-fail-amazon-will-go-bankrupt-but-his-goal-was-to-try-and-delay-the-inevitable">eggs in one basket</a>."

Here's How Much You Would Have Made Owning NVIDIA Stock In The Last 15 Years

Technology giant Oracle Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>) could highlight its AI-powered growth and provide an update on spending when the company reports fourth-quarter financial results Wednesday<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings"> after market close.</a>
Here are the analyst estimates, what experts are saying ahead of the report and key items to watch.
Earnings Estimates: Analysts estimate Oracle will report fourth-quarter revenue of $15.58 billion, up from $14.29 billion in last year's fourth quarter, according to data<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/register?utm_adType=bzprocontent&amp;utm_campaign=14daytrial&amp;utm_ad=0610"> from Benzinga Pro.</a>
The company has missed revenue estimates in two straight quarters and missed estimates in seven of the past 10 quarters overall.
Analysts expect Oracle will report fourth-quarter earnings per share of $1.64, up from $1.63 in last year's fourth quarter. The company has missed analyst estimates for earnings per share in two straight quarters, while beating estimates in eight of the past 10 quarters overall.

 What Experts Are Saying: Freedom Capital Markets Chief Global Strategist Jay Woods said Oracle will look to snap its two-quarter losing streak when it reports Wednesday.
"Shares of the software giant have rallied nicely off their lows, but are still -13% from their December peak. Investors would like to see its cloud revenue growth continue to expand thanks to agreements with the likes of OpenAI, Meta and Nvidia," Woods said in a weekly <a href="https://jaywoods.substack.com/">newsletter</a>.
Woods said the concern is that continued spend could be necessary to power the data centers needed for AI demand.
"Are the company's recent capital expenditures putting pressures on margins and impacting their bottom line?"
Oracle's investments in AI data centers could be a reason to be cautious, JPMorgan analyst Mark Murphy said in an<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/04/44631138/oracles-ai-bet-overbuilt-or-future-proof-analyst-weighs-in"> April investor note.</a>
The investor maintained a Neutral rating with a $135 price target at the time.
Murphy said that Oracle's doubling down on AI infrastructure comes with the company saying demand outpacing supply. The analyst said this messaging is less urgent than before.
The analyst said there are concerns of overbuilding or an AI bubble.
Murphy added that AI-driven cloud expansion could make Oracle a long-term play, but there are near-term challenges such as the large capital spending hurting potential free cash flow.
Here are other recent <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ORCL/analyst-ratings">analyst ratings on Oracle</a> and their price targets:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Citi: Maintained Neutral rating, raised price target from $160 to $186</li>
<li>Morgan Stanley: Maintained Equal-Weight rating, raised price target from $160 to $175</li>
<li>Jefferies: Maintained Buy rating, raised price target from $190 to $200</li>
<li>BMO Capital: Maintained Market Perform rating, raised price target from $175 to $200</li>
<li>Guggenheim: Reiterated Buy rating with $220 price target</li>
</ul>
Key Items to Watch: Spending and AI growth will be big topics to watch in Oracle's financial results and conference call. The company is<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/05/45599854/oracle-to-spend-40-billion-on-nvidia-gb200-chips-for-openais-texas-data-center-report"> reportedly spending $40 billion</a> to purchase 400,000 superchips from Nvidia.
The chips will be used for a facility that Oracle will lease and provide compute capacity to partner OpenAI.
Investors and analysts will be looking for Oracle to quantify its capital spending for the full year and whether these new reports mean more spending than originally anticipated.
Oracle recently announced it <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care/25/05/45467946/oracle-cleveland-clinic-g42-unite-to-launch-ai-powered-healthcare-platform">was teaming </a>up with Cleveland Clinic and G42 for an AI-powered health platform. The platform could see public health systems experience the transition to data-driven care models.
The platform will integrate Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, Oracle's AI Data Platform and Oracle Health technologies with Cleveland Clinic and G42's capabilities. The new venture could demonstrate an example of Oracle's AI-powered growth.
"Aging populations, rising costs and the complexity of care demand a complete reinvention of how healthcare is provided," said Oracle's Executive Chairman and CTO Larry Ellison.
In <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/03/44236027/oracle-q3-earnings-revenue-miss-eps-miss-backlog-booms-62-strong-ai-growth-expected-shares-climb">the third quarter</a>, Oracle's Cloud revenue was up 23% year-over-year, with cloud infrastructure revenue up 49% year-over-year. The company reported remaining performance obligations of $130 billion, a figure up 62% year-over-year.
These will likely be the items watched by investors and analysts to make sure these key growth figures keep growing for Oracle.
ORCL Price Action: Oracle stock closed at $177.48 on Tuesday versus a 52-week trading range of $118.86 to $198.31. Oracle stock is up 6.9% year-to-date in 2025 and up 42.6% over the past year.

In the current session, the stock is trading at $20.51, after a 1.33% increase. Over the past month, Companhia De Saneamento Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SBS#NYSE">SBS</a>) stock increased by 1.48%, and in the past year, by 52.06%. With performance like this, long-term shareholders are optimistic but others are more likely to look into the price-to-earnings ratio to see if the stock might be overvalued.

<h3>Evaluating Companhia De Saneamento P/E in Comparison to Its Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 23.56 in the Water Utilities industry, Companhia De Saneamento Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 8.03. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1749592817_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.

Shutterstock Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SSTK#NYSE">SSTK</a>) shares are rising in extended trading on Tuesday after the company announced shareholder approval for its proposed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/06/n45873777/shutterstock-receives-stockholder-approval-for-proposed-merger-with-getty-images">merger with Getty Images Holdings, Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GETY#NYSE">GETY</a>)</a>.
What To Know: At a special meeting on Tuesday, Shutterstock&#8217;s shareholders approved the adoption of the merger agreement between the company and Getty Images, with approximately 82% voting in favor. 
&#8220;We are very pleased that our stockholders recognize the compelling rationale of this transaction and look forward to the successful completion of our merger with Getty Images,&#8221; said&nbsp;Paul Hennessy, CEO of Shutterstock. 
&#8220;Our complementary strengths will allow us to better serve customers while also delivering exceptional value to our partners, contributors and stockholders in a fast-evolving and competitive environment.&#8221;
The transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2025, subject to regulatory approvals. 
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy SSTK Stock</h1>
By now, you're likely curious about how to participate in the market for Shutterstock — be it to purchase shares, or even attempt to bet against the company.
Buying shares is typically done through a brokerage account. You can find a list of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-stock-trading-platforms">possible trading platforms here.</a> Many will allow you to buy &#8220;fractional shares,&#8221; which allows you to own portions of stock without buying an entire share.
If you're looking to bet against a company, the process is more complex. You'll need access to an options trading platform or a broker who will allow you to &#8220;go short&#8221; a share of stock by lending you the shares to sell. The process of shorting a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock">stock can be found at this resource.</a> Otherwise, if your broker allows you to trade options, you can either buy a put option or sell a call option at a strike price above where shares are currently trading — either way it allows you to profit off of the share price decline.
SSTK, GETY Price Action: Tuesday after-hours at publication, <a href="http://benzinga.com/quote/SSTK">Shutterstock shares</a> were up 10.53% at $20.99 and Getty was up 11.24% at $1.88, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.
