A man called into &#8220;<a href="https://x.com/DaveRamsey/status/1928102099130208337">The Ramsey Show</a>&#8221; with a confession: he&#8217;s been married for five years, and his wife has no idea that they&#8217;re secretly worth millions of dollars.
&#8220;I'm the saver and she's the spender,&#8221; the caller explained. &#8220;I have been working very hard, working my job and my business just to grow to where we are. And I am not sure whether I should ever disclose our net worth to her because I do not know how she's going to react.&#8221;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Ramsey&#8217;s Response</h2>
Dave Ramsey, a personal finance expert and radio host known for his no-nonsense advice, was stunned and immediately asked, &#8220;Are you from another culture?&#8221; After the caller explained he was born in South Korea but raised in San Jose, California, by immigrant parents, Ramsey replied, &#8220;Because in Anglo-America, what you just described, as you probably realize, is pretty whacked.&#8221;
The caller insisted that he handles all the finances, and that keeping their wealth a secret is tied to his wife's spending habits. Ramsey wasn't buying it.
&#8220;You've been married to her for five years and sleeping with her for five years. She didn't know you got any money. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/12/42420115/nondisclosure-is-lying-says-dave-ramsey-advising-couples-to-fully-disclose-finances-before-tying-the-knot">That's deception</a>,&#8221; Ramsey said bluntly.
Trending: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/this-ai-imaging-technology-has-been-used-in-more-than-500-surgeries-now-you-can-be-part-of-the-ai-imaging-revolution">Be part of the next med-tech breakthrough for only $350 — 500+ surgeries already done with nView's AI system.</a>
Even as the caller tried to frame the issue around different money personalities—he's a minimalist, she's a free spirit—Ramsey brought it back to what he saw as the real problem: lying.
&#8220;Honey, you're not listening. You keep deflecting every time I bring this at you. You have deceived your wife actively. She's not going to be cool with that. You hear that?&#8221;
The caller admitted he feared his wife would be upset and possibly scared by the news. Ramsey said that fear is probably why he kept the secret in the first place.
&#8220;You're scared she's going to go spend all your money, which is the reason you lied to her in the first place,&#8221; he said.
Ramsey emphasized that a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/12/42514449/dave-ramsey-says-his-wife-wanted-to-leave-him-but-she-didnt-have-a-car-hitting-rock-bottom-financially-almost-ended-his-marriage">strong marriage is worth more than money</a>. &#8220;I value a quality marriage and relationship going into my old age because we've now been married almost 43 years. I value that more than money. You don't. So I'm having trouble connecting with you on this.&#8221;
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">Are you rich?</a> Here&#8217;s what Americans think you need to be considered wealthy.
Toward the end of the call, Ramsey acknowledged the cultural influence but didn't let the caller off the hook.
&#8220;I'm just the older guy sitting over here going, okay, you brought some culture into this where the guy's in charge and the lady doesn't have any say or any vote, especially if she's the spender. And so all of that combined with your nerd-like paranoia has led you to this deception.&#8221;
Ramsey&#8217;s final warning was that this is not going to end well. The longer he puts this off, the worse this is going to get. &#8220;This is a weird thing you've done and you need to own that.&#8221;

Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) launched a new team within its consumer R&amp;D division to focus on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/entertainment/25/06/45782841/sam-altmans-2023-openai-ouster-becoming-a-movie-could-former-spider-man-play-him">agentic artificial intelligence. </a>
The Details: The agentic AI group will operate out of Lab126, Amazon's secretive Silicon Valley unit known for creating the Kindle, Echo and other flagship devices, according to<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/06/04/amazons-rd-lab-forms-new-agentic-ai-group.html"> CNBC</a>. 
As more tech firms move beyond generative AI toward autonomous agents, Amazon is developing systems that can handle complex, multistep tasks on behalf of users — far surpassing traditional chatbots.

The new team aims to build an agentic AI framework specifically for robotics, often described as "physical AI." These systems will allow robots to interpret and respond to natural language commands.
Earlier this year, Amazon's AI lab released a browser-based agent, and its cloud division has also set up a separate agentic AI team. In March, Amazon rolled out Alexa+, an upgraded voice assistant with expected agentic features.
Why It Matters: Analysts at BofA Securities on Monday named Amazon as a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/price-target/25/06/45727360/amazon-analyst-sees-robotics-unlocking-billions-in-savings">leader in AI </a>and robotics. The firm emphasized that Amazon is still early in its robotics optimization cycle. 
BofA analyst Justin Post reaffirmed a Buy rating on Amazon stock, raising the price target from $230 to $248, citing strengthened competitive positioning and improved profitability from ongoing AI and robotics investments.
Agentic AI is quickly becoming a core driver of enterprise automation and digital transformation. Amazon joins other tech giants including Salesforce and Microsoft in the agentic AI space.

Amazon Launches New Agentic AI Group To Boost Robotics, Enhance User Interactions

Musician Taylor Swift celebrated a recent win with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/topics/25/05/45708811/taylor-swift-reclaims-ownership-of-her-first-6-albums-from-scooter-braun-all-of-the-music-ive-ever-made-now-belongs-to-me">buying back</a> her old albums previously owned outside of her control.
With the new ownership, streams of old Swift songs have soared, helping boost traffic for Spotify Technology (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPOT#NYSE">SPOT</a>).
What Happened: Swift fans are celebrating the news that she has the rights to all of her albums by listening to old songs, a move that could help her be the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/12/42325116/2024-was-worlds-taylor-swift-era-once-again-spotify-reveals-top-artists-songs-albums-podcasts">most-streamed artist</a> on Spotify for a third straight year.
The original six Big Machine albums, once owned by Scooter Braun and later owned by Shamrock Holdings, have mostly been off limits for Swift fans, who were encouraged by Swift to not listen to or buy them.
Swift re-released several of her old albums under the "Taylor's Version" label, which included some previously unreleased songs along with re-recordings of songs from the albums. This allowed Swift to dilute the power of the old albums, then collect royalties and have ownership of the newly recorded songs.
After the singer&#8217;s announcement, streams of Swift's original Big Machine albums increased 110% to 430% per album, according to data from Luminate, as shared by Variety.
On Friday, Swift's entire catalog saw a 55.1% increase in plays compared to her daily average with 30.64 million streams in one day.
Per Spotify data, "Speak Now" was the biggest gainer with a 430% increase in global streams on Friday. "Taylor Swift" saw a 220% jump in global streams with "Reputation" ranking third, with Spotify streams up 160%.

Why It's Important: The early data from Spotify could suggest Swift's old albums could find their way back into the Billboard 200 chart.
Swift released six albums under Big Machine and re-recorded four of them. Since that time, Swift has released albums with Republic Records, which is a unit of Universal Music Group (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UMGNF#OTC">UMGNF</a>)(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNVGY#OTC">UNVGY</a>). Universal could also get a boost with overall listening of Swift songs up in recent days.
Spotify is likely a winner from the Swift news with fans flocking to the platform to quickly get access to all the singer's albums.
Swift was the top-streamed global artist and top-streamed artist in the U.S. in 2024. The singer had one song in the top 10 globally and three of the top 10 streamed albums globally, including number one, "The Tortured Poets Department"; number six, "1989 (Taylor's Version)" and number eight, "Lover."
For Spotify U.S. users, "The Tortured Poets Department" and "1989 (Taylor's Version)" ranked first and 10th, respectively, for 2024 streaming.
SPOT Price Action: Spotify stock hit new 52-week highs of $708.19 on Wednesday before closing the trading session up 4.47% at $701.08. Spotify stock is up 56.7% year-to-date in 2025 and up over 114% in the last year.

Spotify Early Winner From Taylor Swift Buying Back Old Albums: A 'Love Story' For Fans, Streaming Company

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) is calling out America&#8217;s wealthiest and most powerful, saying that a new kind of billionaire class sees itself as inherently superior.&nbsp;
In a wide-ranging interview on the &#8220;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PbWVbQQwWJo">Flagrant</a>&#8221; podcast, Sanders took aim at everything from campaign spending deregulation and corruption to healthcare, education and the future of the Democratic Party.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">&#8216;Superior Human Beings&#8217; And A Broken System</h2>
&#8220;There is a new breed of uber capitalists out there who really believe, and they write about this as well, that they are superior human beings,&#8221; Sanders told the podcast hosts Andrew Schulz and Akaash Singh. He said many of today's billionaires view themselves not only as financially successful but as more deserving of power.&nbsp;

</ul>
Sanders continued, explaining there was &#8220;writing on the right, on the far right, which really diminishes democracy, and that really the smart and the wealthy and the powerful have the right to rule.&#8221;
Sanders pointed out that this mindset reflects an old worldview dressed up in new clothes. &#8220;Back in the 19th century&#8230; I am the king, God made my family king&#8230; Sorry you&#8217;re starving to death but that&#8217;s the way life goes,&#8221; he said. &#8220;God told me my family rules.&#8221;
Schulz noted a trend among the ultra-wealthy: they often pledge to give away their fortunes late in life. &#8220;Upon their death, a lot of them have decided to give away their money,&#8221; he said. &#8220;As they get closer to death, they're like, ‘Our goal is to give away all our money,' which seems to tell me that they think that there is an issue with them having all that money.&#8221;&nbsp;
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>.
&#8220;They&#8217;re like, &#8216;It&#8217;s kind of wrong that we should just keep all this in our family,'&#8221; he finished.
Sanders criticized what he sees as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44818878/why-is-the-system-rigged-why-even-try-one-renter-asks-as-wages-stay-flat-and-rents-soar-while-landlo">a system rigged</a> to benefit a few at the top. He said the country has enough money to fix its biggest problems, but refuses to do so. &#8220;We are the richest country in the history of the world,&#8221; he said. And yet &#8220;60% of people <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45674113/rules-changed-but-no-one-told-me-a-young-professional-says-their-rent-is-80-of-take-home-pay-how-is-this-supposed-to-be-sustainable">live paycheck to paycheck</a>.&#8221;
He blamed decades of corporate influence, broken campaign finance laws and political cowardice for the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/05/45484397/the-middle-class-is-dead-why-so-many-millennials-feel-stuck-despite-making-more-than-previous-generations">decline of the American middle class</a>.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Healthcare, Education And Working-Class Neglect</h2>
Sanders emphasized that Americans are paying more for less across key services. &#8220;We are spending twice as much per person on healthcare as most of the European countries,&#8221; he said, adding that tens of thousands die every year because they <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/25/02/43662970/mark-cuban-says-u-s-healthcare-is-horrific-calls-for-free-medical-school-to-fix-doctor-shortages-and-soaring-costs">can&#8217;t afford medical care</a>. His examples include going to a doctor too late, avoiding the co-pay and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/02/43985233/mark-cuban-calls-deductibles-the-biggest-problem-in-healthcare-system-needs-to-be-redesigned">the deductible</a>.&nbsp;
He also mentioned the U.S. treats child care and education as afterthoughts while claiming to love kids. &#8220;We pay child care workers McDonald&#8217;s wages,&#8221; Sanders said.
While he confirmed he won&#8217;t run for president again, Sanders said the work is far from over. He sees hope in a growing movement of younger politicians, many of whom refuse corporate political action committee money. He said there are dozens in the House now who are standing up for the working class, citing Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and others.

If You Invested $100 In This Stock 20 Years Ago, You Would Have This Much Today

Hockey is the top sport in Canada, and the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/nhl" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> National Hockey League</a> reigns supreme among professional sports leagues. Seven Canadian teams compete in the league for the coveted Stanley Cup trophy.
After a 30+ year drought of no Stanley Cups, Canada is four wins away from seeing a championship return to the country.
What Happened: Canada beat the United States in the 4 Nations Face-Off challenge in February, winning the championship game, which gained increased significance with U.S. President Donald Trump calling for Canada to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/12/42300450/trump-told-trudeau-canada-could-avoid-tariffs-by-becoming-51st-state-a-look-at-sectors-trade-war-could-impact">become the 51st state.</a>
After Canada's win, then-Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau poked fun at Trump.
"You can't take our country – and you can't take our game," Trudeau <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/world/canada/trudeau-trump-hockey-canada-us-feud.html">tweeted</a>.
While Trudeau may have been correct about the international tournament, he wasn't entirely truthful about Canada's "game."
Hockey may be the most loved sport in Canada, but the last time a team from the country won the Stanley Cup was in 1993, when the Montreal Canadiens won the championship.
In last year's NHL Playoffs, around 75% of the current NHL players were not born the last time a Canadian team won a Stanley Cup, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.espn.com/nhl/insider/story/_/id/39815401/canada-stanley-cup-playoffs-drought-end-vancouver-edmonton-winnipeg-toronto" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">ESPN</a>. About 3% of NHL players today were five years old or older and likely able to remember a Canadian team winning the cup.
Since the Canadiens won the Stanley Cup in 1993, there have been 15 U.S teams to win the championship.
History shows that Canadian teams still rank among the all-time best in NHL and Stanley Cup history. The Canadiens rank first with 23 Stanley Cup wins. Ranking second is also a Canadian team, with the Maple Leafs winning 13 Stanley Cups. The Edmonton Oilers rank sixth all-time with five Stanley Cup wins.
Canada had five of their seven NHL teams make the 2024-2025 NHL Playoffs, and one remains with a chance to end the drought.

2025 Stanley Cup Matchup: For the second straight season, the Oilers and Florida Panthers meet in the Stanley Cup Finals. Last season saw the Panthers win their first championship in franchise history beating the Oilers in seven games of the best-of-seven series.

In the current session, the stock is trading at $687.33, after a 3.07% increase. Over the past month, Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) stock increased by 15.27%, and in the past year, by 39.33%. 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>Comparing Meta Platforms P/E Against Its Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Meta Platforms has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 34.6 of the Interactive Media &amp; Services industry. Ideally, one might believe that the stock might perform worse than its peers, but it's also probable that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1749074431_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.

Here's How Much $100 Invested In Caterpillar 5 Years Ago Would Be Worth Today

A movie about the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/12/36171063/what-really-happened-with-sam-altman-getting-fired-as-openai-ceo-new-details-emerge">firing and rehiring</a> of OpenAI co-founder and CEO Sam Altman is in the works.
Here are the early details.
What Happened: Best known as the parent company of ChatGPT, OpenAI has been one of the most talked about AI companies in recent years. The company has also faced a handful of controversies, including <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43609104/elon-musk-co-founded-openai-now-hes-bidding-974b-to-take-back-the-company">a legal battle</a> with Elon Musk.
One of the company's controversies is being turned into a movie tentatively titled "Artificial."
The film will center on the firing and rehiring of Altman that happened back in 2023, as <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/luca-guadagnino-to-direct-openai-movie-1236236357/">reported </a>by The Hollywood Reporter.
The film is being produced by Amazon MGM Studios, a unit of Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>). The report did not say if the film would hit movie theaters or be streamed on Prime Video.
Luca Guadagnino, who has been behind films like "Challengers," "Call Me By Your Name" and "Suspiria" is set to direct the true-life film.
Among the actors attached to the film are Andrew Garfield, Monica Barbaro, and Yura Borisov. Garfield, who has played Spider-Man in films, is said to be the frontrunner to portray Altman in the film. Barbaro is in talks to play chief technology officer Mira Murati, and Borisov would play OpenAI co-founder Ilya Sutskever, according to the report.

What's Next: While no casting decisions have been made, the report said things are moving fast and the movie could go into production this summer.
Altman is best known as the co-founder and CEO of OpenAI. In 2023, the company&#8217;s Board of Directors fired him, with reports that Sutskever led the decision.
The movie would likely center on the reasons why Altman was let go and why he was quickly hired back to lead the company.
Sutskever<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38834519/openai-chief-scientist-ilya-sutskever-steps-down-ceo-sam-altman-calls-him-a-guiding-light-of-ai-fiel"> stepped down</a> from OpenAI in 2024 and went on to found another AI company called Safe Superintelligence.

'Walmart Pledges Transparency on Prices After Drawing Trump's Ire'- Bloomberg

Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) shares closed Wednesday up 0.5% at $141.92. The company announced that its Blackwell architecture delivered breakthrough performance in its latest training results.
What To Know: The volatility in Nvidia shares on Wednesday came as the company said in a blog post that its AI platform delivered the highest performance at scale on all benchmarks and powered every result submitted on the benchmark's toughest large language model-focused test. 
Blackwell delivered more than 2x greater performance compared with the company&#8217;s previous-generation architecture. The company said the results underscore the platform&#8217;s exceptional performance and versatility across a wide array of AI workloads. Nvidia presented at the BofA Securities 2025 Global Technology Conference on Wednesday. 
Nvidia made headlines earlier this week by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45763363/nvidia-overtakes-microsoft-as-the-worlds-most-valuable-company-with-3-4-trillion-market-cap-as-morgan-stanley-reaffirms-top-pick-status">overtaking Microsoft </a>to become the world's most valuable company, now valued at approximately $3.44 trillion. The jump in shares follows strong first-quarter earnings in which the company reported $44.1 billion in revenue, representing a 69% year-over-year increase, ahead of Wall Street expectations. 
Analysts at Morgan Stanley maintained Nvidia as a top pick, citing growing demand for its AI chips across data centers and gaming. Several other analysts raised price targets over the past week, ranging from $135 to $210.
Wedbush&#8217;s Dan Ives said earlier this week that Nvidia could <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/06/45767936/tech-bull-says-nvda-can-be-a-250-stock-if-trump-takes-a-step-back-from-tariffs">climb to $250</a> per share over the coming years if the Trump administration pulls back on tariffs. He also indicated that new all-time highs are on the horizon for tech stocks. The broader semiconductor sector got a boost on Wednesday after GlobalFoundries announced plans to commit $16 billion towards U.S. chip expansion. The move is part of an industry-wide reshoring trend driven by AI demand and ongoing trade tensions. The expansion includes new investments in silicon photonics, GaN power technologies and advanced packaging, all critical for energy-efficient AI chips.
Nvidia continues to benefit from strong institutional and investor confidence tied to the long-term demand for AI infrastructure.
NVDA Price Action: Nvidia shares are up about 21% over the past month, and the stock has climbed more than 5% over the past week, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro.</a>
