Trane Technologies shares are trading lowed following mixed Q2 earnings, despite raising guidance.

If you're already earning a good income, does it make sense to <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/HENRYfinance/comments/1m5tc2y/anyone_in_a_high_earning_role_also_a_content/">create content on the side</a> and hope it turns into a successful business? A bunch of high earners recently discussed the growing trend of bankers, lawyers, techies, doctors, and other professionals branching out to TikTok, Instagram, and other platforms.
Some of these people sell consultation calls, while others use affiliate links to make extra income. The ceiling is high, as some people earn millions of dollars producing content each year. However, most people do not earn enough from their content to make ends meet. These two possible scenarios fueled plenty of debate in a recent Reddit post.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Start It As A Hobby Project</h2>
Multiple people suggested producing content as a hobby project instead of getting into the industry to make money. Viewing your content brand as a hobby makes it easier to stick with it even when it's not making much money.
You may have to post content consistently for multiple years before your following is large enough to generate a full-time income. Many of the high earners who make money with their content brands generate the majority of their revenue from affiliates and sponsorships. Both of those avenues require large audiences to make enough money to replace your full-time job.
It's also important to consider the volatility of a content creator's income. Algorithm changes can lead to substantial income changes overnight. Some seven-figure content brands get wiped out within a few months after Google algorithm changes. The risky nature of a content brand, income volatility, and long-term journey are feasible if you approach it as a hobby in the beginning.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Some People Stop Their Side Hustles Once They Get Busy</h2>
One person in the Reddit community said that they worked on content when they weren't busy. That content brought in a lot of clients, and now the Redditor is too busy working with new clients to produce additional content.
"When I wasn&#8217;t busy, I started doing YouTube live streams where I&#8217;d dive into database internals, performance testing, and just doing AMAs. I signed multiple contracts soon after that, where people directly cited the insane technical depth that I&#8217;d go into. It&#8217;s been about 15 months since I stopped, only because I picked up so much work that I don&#8217;t have time to make videos anymore," the Redditor explained.
This story shows that you can create a content brand that's related to the services that you already provide. This approach can help you get more clients, but if the content brand is a key part of your success, it's worth showing up from time to time. Hiring a part-time assistant may be worth it for someone who can directly translate content production into getting new clients.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Know Your Target Audience</h2>
Publishing blog posts, videos, and social media posts does not guarantee that you will become successful. Before committing to a content brand, you have to establish your target audience. Who are the people that will consume your content and buy your products? Crafting a customer avatar can help you create content that gains more traction among the people who can grow your business the fastest.
If you know your target audience and have a clear offer, you may not need a large following to become successful. Some people make full-time incomes with less than 10,000 social media followers because they have high-ticket offers and post content that resonates with their audiences.
Your content doesn't have to appeal to everyone. It just has to attract people who are the most likely to buy your products and services. You can also review the engagement metrics for your content to see which pieces get the most visibility and repeat what works.

Streaming giant Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) has another hit on its hands with the film "Happy Gilmore 2," one of the items highlighted by the company during its recent financial results, as it looks ahead to the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/07/46481193/netflix-q2-fueled-by-price-ads-squid-game-q3-set-to-repeat" target="_blank" rel="noopener">second half of 2025</a>.
What Happened: Netflix continues to benefit from an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/20/01/15229052/adam-sandler-expands-netflix-deal-will-make-more-movies">exclusive partnership signed</a> with actor Adam Sandler, who signed a deal with the streamer in 2014 and has renewed it multiple times.
The latest Sandler Netflix movie is "Happy Gilmore 2," which was released on Netflix on July 25.
In its first three days of availability, the film <a href="https://www.netflix.com/tudum/top10" target="_blank" rel="noopener">garnered </a>46.7 million views, ranking as the top English-language film on Netflix for the entire week.
Netflix <a href="https://www.netflix.com/tudum/articles/top-10-july-21-2025">said </a>the new film set records as the highest opening for any Sandler Netflix film and as the highest weekend in the U.S. for a Netflix movie.
Along with the new film, the original 1996 "Happy Gilmore" film also performed well for Netflix. The film ranked third for the week with 11.4 million views.
The new film features cameos and tributes to many of the actors who appeared in the first film, along with some new cameos from celebrities like Post Malone, Travis Kelce, and a key acting role from musician Bad Bunny. Kelce's appearance even got the film a shout-out on Taylor Swift's Instagram Stories, as reported by <a href="https://deadline.com/2025/07/adam-sandler-happy-gilmore-2-record-breaking-1236473288/">Deadline</a>.
Most viewers of the new film either love it or hate it, and the ratings indicate that it's tough to beat the original 1996 film.
On <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt31868189/">IMDb</a>, "Happy Gilmore 2" has a 6.3 rating out of 10, compared to a 7.0 rating for the original 1996 film.
On Rotten Tomatoes, the new film <a href="https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/happy_gilmore_2">has </a>a Tomatometer score of 61% from critics and a 70% popcorn rating from moviegoers. Compare that to the 1996 film, which had scores of 63% and 85% respectively.
The good news for Netflix is that the ratings don't matter, and people were ready to tune in no matter how good or bad the film is. Most viewers of the original 1996 film were willing to give the new film a chance or tune in to see how the storyline progressed.

What's Next: Buoyed by "Happy Gilmore 2"'s viewership success, fans and Netflix could be revisiting Adam Sandler's classic films to pinpoint the best sequel candidates. Old films like "Billy Madison," "The Wedding Singer," and "Big Daddy" could quickly become discussed as potential movies to make sequels about.
With Sandler's exclusive deal, Netflix could benefit from the actor looking to advance any of those old films into new storylines. The streamer also benefits from comedy specials and other film ideas from Sandler, like the animated film "Leo."
The success of "Happy Gilmore 2" in July adds to the month that already saw strength from the late June release of the third and final season of "Squid Game." The recent movie "KPop Demon Hunters" has also performed well and is now the most viewed Netflix animated film of all time.
Going forward Netflix has new seasons of "Wednesday" and "Stranger Things." The company also has a movie adaptation of "Frankenstein" and the Canelo vs. Crawford live boxing match. Also, don't forget about two exclusive NFL games on Christmas Day.
&#8220;Our goal is to offer a wide variety of quality series, films and games that our members love. This in turn drives engagement on Netflix and when people watch more and love what they watch, they stick around longer, recommend Netflix to others and place a higher value on our service,&#8221; the company said after second-quarter financial results.
NFLX Price Action: Netflix stock trades at $1,174.58 on Wednesday versus a 52-week trading range of $588.43 to $1,341.15. Netflix stock is up 32.4% year-to-date in 2025.

Apple Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) may be fashionably late, but it's arriving with style — and a plan to bend the market to its will.
Despite planning to show up in 2026, six years after Samsung Electronics Co (OTCPK: SSNLF) debuted its first foldable phone, Apple's long-rumored book-style foldable iPhone could open the door to $65 billion in revenue and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AAPL/earnings">deliver high-single-digit EPS</a> gains by 2029, according to JPMorgan's Samik Chatterjee.
Track Apple&#8217;s stock trajectory <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AAPL">here</a>.
With foldables still a niche segment — making up just ~1.5% of global smartphone sales — Apple's entrance could be the jolt the market needs. Samsung may own up to 56% of the foldable space, but Apple's entry with the iPhone 18 Fold might flip the dynamics, especially with a crease-free display and $1,999 price tag designed to woo premium buyers.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">From Fold To Flip: Apple's Late But Loaded</h2>
Samsung's six-year head start has allowed it to fine-tune its foldables, with the Galaxy Z Fold 7 leading a product line that shipped about 10 million units in 2024. Still, Apple has something Samsung doesn't: a fiercely loyal user base, deep ecosystem and a track record of turning latecomer moves into gold, such as iPod, iPad and the Apple Watch.
JPMorgan expects Apple to sell 10 to 15 million foldable iPhones in 2027, ramping to 45 million units by 2029, echoing the success of the iPhone Pro Max.
Half those early buyers may even be Android switchers, lured by Apple's polish and prestige.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Niche No More?</h2>
Foldables have struggled to break out, but Apple's presence alone could mainstream the segment. As volume scales, JPMorgan sees price premiums falling, helping drive adoption. 
And behind the scenes, Amphenol Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/APH#NYSE">APH</a>) and Corning Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLW#NYSE">GLW</a>) could benefit from increased hardware content.
Apple might be late — but if history is any guide, it's still very much in control of the playbook.

Co-host of Fox News&#8217; &#8220;The Five&#8221; Jessica Tarlov took aim at President Donald Trump and Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) this week over their push for rebate checks funded by tariff revenue. Tarlov argued the move highlights how tariffs are hurting American consumers, not foreign competitors.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Tariffs Are &#8216;Taxes On Americans,&#8217; Tarlov Says</h2>
&#8220;Trump has been creating these trade wars that have resulted in Americans paying more for goods,&#8221; Tarlov <a href="https://x.com/JessicaTarlov/status/1950005631680721358">posted on X</a> on Monday. &#8220;Tariffs are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/macro-economic-events/25/07/46622277/trumps-trade-deal-with-japan-a-tax-on-americans-economist-says-not-remotely-optimistic-us-auto-companies-will-gain-as-toyota-and-honda-stocks-rally">taxes on Americans</a> — consumers pay, not foreign companies.&#8221;

</ul>
During a segment on &#8220;The Five&#8221; earlier in the day, Tarlov criticized Trump&#8217;s claim that tariffs benefit the economy. She pointed out that companies like Walmart (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>) have raised prices as much as 51%, and that major automakers like General Motors (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) and Volkswagen have lost billions in profit.
&#8220;They&#8217;re not going to eat the tariff,&#8221; she said. &#8220;They&#8217;re going to pass it on to you.&#8221;
Tarlov questioned the logic behind the new rebate push: &#8220;If they really helped, why are Trump and Josh Hawley now pushing rebate checks? Because voters feel the rising cost of living due to tariffs.&#8221;
She added that Trump initiated nearly all of the trade wars currently affecting Americans, with the exception of China. &#8220;We essentially had favored nation [status] with the EU, being about 1% import. So 15% is a lot more than 1%,&#8221; she said, referring to tariff increases under Trump.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Hawley Proposes $600 Rebate Checks</h2>
On Monday, Hawley introduced a bill that would send at least $600 to every adult and child in America. The rebate would function like a refundable tax credit, similar to stimulus checks during the COVID-19 pandemic.
&#8220;Like President Trump proposed, my legislation would allow hard-working Americans to benefit from the wealth that Trump&#8217;s tariffs are returning to this country,&#8221; Hawley <a href="https://www.hawley.senate.gov/hawley-introduces-legislation-to-send-rebate-checks-to-working-americans/">stated</a> on Monday.
The U.S. Treasury Department recently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46386524/trump-wants-blanket-tariffs-of-up-to-20-after-surprise-treasury-surplus-in-june-ed-yardeni-says-dont-push-your-luck">reported $27 billion</a> in customs duties for June, up $4 billion from the previous month. However, inflation also ticked up.
The <a href="https://www.hawley.senate.gov/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Hawley-American-Worker-Rebate-Act-Bill-Text.pdf">rebates</a> would be reduced for higher-income earners: joint filers over $150,000, heads of household over $112,500, and individuals over $75,000.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Trump: We&#8217;re Thinking About a Rebate</h2>
Trump himself floated the idea of rebate checks during a recent exchange with a reporter.
&#8220;We&#8217;re thinking about that actually,&#8221; he <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2U1rwjHAggc">said</a>. &#8220;We have so much money coming in from tariffs that a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/macro-economic-events/25/07/46653477/trump-mulls-little-rebate-for-americans-funded-by-tariff-revenue-but-heres-the-big-thing-he-wants-to-do-first">little rebate</a> for people of a certain income level might be very nice.&#8221;
Trump added that paying down debt is also a priority, but confirmed rebate checks are under serious consideration.
While Hawley&#8217;s bill is in its early stages, it may face resistance in Congress. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) has previously dismissed similar direct payment proposals.

Shares of Super Micro Computer Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMCI#NASDAQ">SMCI</a>) are rallying on Wednesday, reversing a slight decline from the previous session as investors position themselves ahead of the company&#8217;s highly anticipated fourth-quarter <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/SMCI/earnings">earnings report</a> next Tuesday.
What To Know: The server manufacturer&#8217;s upcoming results are seen as a critical barometer of its ability to navigate a challenging landscape for AI hardware suppliers. For the fourth quarter, Wall Street analysts are forecasting earnings per share (EPS) of 44 cents on revenue of $5.88 billion. 
These figures will be closely watched after SMCI <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45236823/super-micro-computer-stock-slips-after-q3-results-uncertainty-and-tariffs-may-have-a-short-term-impact-ceo-says">missed expectations</a> in the third quarter, delivering an EPS of 31 cents on revenue of $4.6 billion, which CEO Charles Liang attributed to &#8220;economic uncertainty and tariff impacts.&#8221;
Investor caution has been amplified by recent headwinds, including news of a potential slowdown in the large-scale &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/07/46559061/whats-going-on-with-super-micro-computer-stock-6">Stargate</a>&#8221; AI supercomputer project involving SoftBank and OpenAI, which has created uncertainty for the entire hardware sector.
Reflecting this cautious atmosphere, recent <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/SMCI/earnings">analyst ratings</a> have been mixed. While firms like JP Morgan and Mizuho have maintained Neutral ratings on the stock in July, Bank of America initiated its coverage with an &#8220;Underperform&#8221; rating. 
Next week's earnings release and subsequent management commentary will be pivotal in providing clarity on the company&#8217;s trajectory for the remainder of the year. 
Benzinga Edge Rankings: According to <a href="http://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Edge</a> stock rankings, which measure a stock&#8217;s investment appeal across four key metrics, SMCI demonstrates a particularly strong profile in fundamentals and expansion. The company boasts an exceptional Quality score of 95.36, suggesting it is a financially healthy and well-managed enterprise. 
This is complemented by a very high Growth score of 87.60, reflecting its rapid expansion and strong performance in the market. The stock also carries significant Momentum with a score of 78.85. 
Its Value score is more moderate at 60.20, indicating that while not considered a deep bargain, the stock is not seen as excessively overvalued based on its current fundamentals.
Price Action: According to data from <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, SMCI shares are trading higher by 4.59% to $60.72 Wednesday morning. The stock has a 52-week high of $72.44 and a 52-week low of $17.25.

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 &#8211; either way it allows you to profit off of the share price decline.

Super Micro Computer (SMCI) Shares Climb Wednesday As Investors Await Crucial Earnings

President Donald Trump&#8216;s views about the dollar are getting strong pushback from economists like Europac.com Chief Economist and Global Strategist Peter Schiff.&nbsp;
&#8220;Trump said he wants a strong dollar but he also wants a weaker dollar. He says a strong dollar makes you feel better, but a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46213361/trump-is-slamming-jerome-powell-because-he-wants-a-weaker-dollar-says-ed-yardeni-pounding-powell-pounding-the-dollar">weak dollar</a> makes you richer,&#8221; Schiff <a href="https://x.com/PeterSchiff/status/1948759696782823707">wrote on X</a> last week.
He added that although Trump claims he crushed inflation, his policies are highly inflationary, saying, &#8220;Trump's weak dollar dream will be a nightmare.&#8221;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Trump Defends a Weaker Dollar, But Economists Aren&#8217;t Buying It</h2>
What caused Schiff&#8217;s comments is what Trump told reporters at the White House on Friday: &#8220;It doesn&#8217;t sound good, but you make a hell of a lot more money with a weaker dollar, not a weak dollar, but a weaker dollar than you do with a strong dollar.&#8221;
Trump argued that a strong dollar &#8220;sounds good&#8221; and helps with inflation, but he also said, &#8220;You can&#8217;t sell tractors, you can&#8217;t sell trucks, you can&#8217;t sell anything.&#8221; He claimed that countries like China and Japan have long pushed for weaker currencies to dominate global markets.
Financial experts, however, warn that Trump&#8217;s stance could backfire.

9i Capital Group Chief Executive Officer Kevin Thompson told <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-defends-weak-dollar-economic-analysts-respond-2104336">Newsweek</a> that while a weaker dollar helps U.S. exporters and multinational corporations, it can be bad news for households.
&#8220;The U.S. is a consumer-driven, import-heavy economy,&#8221; he said. &#8220;A weaker dollar makes imports more expensive, which can drive inflation. So while there are benefits on the corporate side, it also hurts households by increasing the cost of everyday goods.&#8221;
Thompson also took issue with Trump's claim that the U.S. has &#8220;wiped out inflation.&#8221;
&#8220;He&#8217;s dead wrong,&#8221; Thompson told Newsweek. &#8220;We&#8217;re still seeing elevated prices in areas like energy, particularly piped gas, and in household essentials. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/02/43748849/food-prices-are-expected-to-keep-rising-in-2025-ramsey-solutions-explains-why-grocery-prices-are-so-high-offers-tips-for-saving">Food costs continue to climb</a>, especially meat, and many families are seeing higher utility bills.&#8221;
The dollar has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/25/07/46203857/pay-attention-to-trump-musk-feud-worst-start-to-dollar-since-1973-stock-market-bulls-celebrate">dropped over 10% this year</a> compared to a basket of foreign currencies. The last time the dollar weakened this much early in a year was 1973.

Trump has said a weaker dollar could help U.S. manufacturers compete globally and boost tourism. He cited the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/news/25/07/46447368/heres-how-much-you-would-have-made-owning-caterpillar-stock-in-the-last-5-years">recent rise</a> in Caterpillar Inc.

Still, economists caution that a weaker dollar also means Americans pay more when they travel abroad and face higher prices on imported goods.
While the president insists his policies are aimed at strengthening the economy, critics argue that continued deficit spending and rising debt are already shaking global confidence in the dollar.
As Schiff <a href="https://x.com/PeterSchiff/status/1922327956925366308">wrote on X</a> back in May, &#8220;The yield on 10-year Treasuries is back up to 4.5% as the U.S. dollar resumes its broad-based decline.
