This year, the Fourth of July marks the 249th anniversary of the founding of the United States. Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), an asset whose ideas are rooted in financial sovereignty, has evolved significantly over the last few Independence Days.
What happened: Between 2020 and 2021, the apex cryptocurrency's value soared by an impressive 286%. Then came the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/22/10/29109313/how-long-will-the-crypto-bear-market-last">brutal bear market</a> of 2022, which triggered a 42% decline in Bitcoin&#8217;s price.
Since then, the leading coin has been trending only upward. After recovering by 52% in 2023, Bitcoin surged to nearly $57,000 by last year's Independence Day.
The last quarter of 2024 and the first half of 2025 saw a record-breaking run, with Bitcoin peaking at $111,970. While it has fallen from its highs, its value today is 92% higher than the same time last year.
From the data below, the compounded annual growth rate for Bitcoin is approximately 64%.

Bitcoin&#8217;s libertarian ideals, which advocated decentralization and freedom from centralized institutions, attracted many early investors. Tech billionaire and&nbsp;Palantir Technologies&nbsp;co-founder&nbsp;Peter Thiel&nbsp;once revealed that Bitcoin&#8217;s vision as a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/07/39569413/billionaire-peter-thiel-voices-skepticism-on-bitcoins-future-growth-im-not-sure-its-going-">cypherpunk, crypto-anarchist freedom tool</a> drew him to the asset.

The first sentence in the whitepaper reads: &#8220;A purely peer-to-peer version of electronic cash would allow online payments to be sent directly from one party to another without going through a financial institution.&#8221;
However, truth be told. Bitcoin, as it exists today, is drastically different. It has become increasingly mainstream, with Wall Street <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/07/46228970/blackrocks-bitcoin-etf-surpasses-sp-500-etf-in-revenue-as-xrp-dogecoin-etf-approval-predicted-to-follow-soon">financial behemoths pouring millions into its funds daily,</a> and having a say on its price.

Here's How Much You Would Have Made Owning Alamos Gold Stock In The Last 10 Years

Ford Motor Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) CEO Jim Farley didn't just question Tesla Inc's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) approach to autonomy—he challenged the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46156654/ford-ceo-jim-farley-believes-waymos-approach-makes-more-sense-than-elon-musk-led-teslas-when-you-have-a-brand-like-ford-you-have-to-be-really-careful"> logic behind betting on it</a>. 
Speaking at the Aspen Ideas Festival, Farley said Alphabet Inc&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) Waymo's lidar-based system makes more sense than Tesla's camera-only model, citing consumer trust and safety. But beneath the tech debate lies something even more jarring: Tesla's valuation is pricing in a robotaxi revolution that isn't here yet &#8211; and Ford just put that on blast.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Tesla's Vision, Ford's Caution</h2>
While Elon Musk is rolling out camera-only robotaxis in Austin, Ford's message is clear: lidar is a safety non-negotiable, and fully autonomous systems aren't viable &#8211; yet. 
Farley even went so far as to say Ford gave up chasing Level 4 autonomy and instead is focused on "eyes-off" highway driving. Translation: we're going for realistic, not sci-fi.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Now Enter The Valuation Trap</h2>
Tesla is valued like it's already conquered autonomy:

Data Source: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/register?utm_adType=bzprocontent&amp;utm_campaign=14daytrial&amp;utm_ad=0704">Benzinga Pro</a>
Tesla trades at a forward P/E nearly 9x Alphabet's, and over 24x Ford's, yet the revenue impact from autonomy remains negligible. Tesla bulls argue the robotaxi future justifies the premium. 
But if even legacy automakers like Ford are backing off full autonomy, that future may be farther out than markets want to admit.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Alphabet: The Underrated Value Play</h2>
While Farley prefers Waymo&#8217;s approach, Alphabet may be the real value winner. Waymo logs over 250,000 paid rides a week, operates commercially, and doesn't carry Tesla's pricing risk. 
And Alphabet's core business still trades at less than 20x forward earnings.
Ford didn't just throw shade on Tesla's tech—it threw cold water on Tesla's valuation story. Robotaxis might be the future, but for now, Alphabet offers the smarter, cheaper, and more grounded ride.

$1000 Invested In This Stock 15 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

You don't have to stay where you are for the rest of your life, and a couple that went from living in their car to a $1 million net worth embodies this idea. The couple got into a bad financial situation when they were both laid off a few weeks apart in 2008. Then, with no salaries and student loan payments to make, they had to live in a car.
The situation looked grim, but the couple recovered and put themselves in a good financial position. They recently shared <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/DaveRamsey/comments/1lmkjdl/39_debt_free_soon_to_be_40_in_one_month_980k_net/">how they did it</a> in the Dave Ramsey subreddit.&nbsp;
"I managed to find a low-paying but stable job," the husband explained.&nbsp;

</ul>
Here's how you can apply the couple's lessons to your financial situation so you can achieve long-term goals.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">You Have To Start Somewhere</h2>
The husband doesn't work at the same job he took during the Great Recession, but it gave the couple a start. That job allowed them to rent out a garage and get back on their feet little by little.&nbsp;
There wasn't a quick and dramatic rise to the top. The couple learned about Ramsey's baby steps financial formula for getting out of debt and building wealth during this time. They took advantage of coupons and discounts wherever they could find them while living "insanely frugal."
The first job you get probably won't be your dream job. It may take a few years before you earn a six-figure salary, and even that's not guaranteed. Taking a low-paying job lets you get your foot in the door. You might be chosen for internal promotions if you overachieve at your company, but job hopping is another alternative that can introduce you to a higher salary after you've built some work experience.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Climb The Corporate Ladder</h2>
The Redditor mentions that he climbed the corporate ladder for more than a decade to boost his salary. Growing your salary makes it easier to cover various costs, like student loans, mortgage payments, cars, and credit card debt. The couple is debt-free because of their commitment to climbing the corporate ladder.
It's easier to play it safe and stay at a stable job, but this mentality can significantly limit your earnings. You may find better opportunities at another company, but before you consider that route, it's worth asking for a raise and seeing if you can get promoted within the company.&nbsp;
You will have to build your network, regularly apply for new jobs, and get good at negotiating to ascend the corporate ladder over time. This couple stayed the course for more than a decade to reach their current level.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Live A Frugal Lifestyle</h2>
Staying below your means requires making some sacrifices. You may not be able to go on luxurious vacations, and buying used cars may be the norm. However, it was a key component for the couple's long-term success and happiness.&nbsp;
Being frugal can also reduce your financial stress since you are letting fewer expenses into your life. The husband summed up the long-term benefits of his frugal lifestyle in one of the comments.
"Being frugal paved the way to an amazing life with an amazing wife and two great kiddos. We spent on what we considered value add for our future and our lifestyle, and really have enjoyed life to its fullest and intend to do so. We are a family who loves to travel, be on the road, and explore new things. We are constantly on the road, doing what we love. I was able to afford this lifestyle because we are frugal and smart with money."

A Couple Share How They Went From Living In Their Car To A $1 Million Net Worth: 'I Managed To Find A Low-Paying But Stable Job'

Sun Communities's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SUI#NYSE">SUI</a>) short percent of float has fallen 4.91% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 2.01 million shares sold short, which is 2.52% of all regular shares that are available for trading.

<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 Sun Communities 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 Sun Communities's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>

A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure.

According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Sun Communities's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 2.53%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

Is the Market Bullish or Bearish on Williams-Sonoma?

In the current market session, Arthur J. Gallagher Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AJG#NYSE">AJG</a>) share price is at $318.10, after a 0.75% increase. Moreover, over the past month, the stock fell by 3.24%, but in the past year, spiked by 20.25%. Shareholders might be interested in knowing whether the stock is overvalued, even if the company is performing up to par in the current session. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1751644816_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>How Does Arthur J. Gallagher P/E Compare to Other Companies?</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. 
Arthur J. Gallagher has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 50.13 of the Insurance 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/2025/1751644816_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.

M&amp;A volumes globally continue to decline, according <a href="https://www.pwc.com/gx/en/services/deals/trends.html">to</a> PwC&#8217;s Brian Levy.
&#8220;They dropped by 9% in the first half of 2025 compared with the first half of 2024, while deal values are up 15%. We continue to see transactions in companies with a local focus within national borders, as well as in service companies or others less susceptible to tariffs,&#8221; Levy wrote in a June 24 blog post. 
Strong cash flow and &#8220;healthy prospects&#8221; are key. A May 2025 PwC survey found that 30% of U.S. companies paused or reconsidered deals due to tariff uncertainty, signaling ongoing disruption for dealmakers in the months ahead.
&#8220;We expect dealmakers to feel the continued fallout over the coming months,&#8221; Levy adds.
Separately, the mixed job market — like the one we&#8217;re currently in — provides a clue as to how the second half of 2025 will unfold. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/economic-data/25/07/46188699/goldman-sachs-now-expects-3-fed-rate-cuts-in-2025-amid-weak-jobs-data-modest-trump-tariff-effects">If rate cuts follow</a>, expect a rebound in M&amp;A activity.
Buyers typically see value in sectors under labor pressure, and sellers feel more urgency <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/economic-data/25/07/46244105/june-jobs-report-nonfarm-payroll-adp-data">if hiring slows</a> or margins compress.
Bain &amp; Co. says it&#8217;s &#8220;already seeing evidence that some companies are not allowing tariffs (and the changed economic world order they represent) to derail M&amp;A activity.&#8221; 
While deal activity dipped in April, deal value rebounded in May, the firm <a href="https://www.bain.com/insights/m-and-a-midyear-report-2025-separating-signal-from-noise/">wrote</a> in its mid-year report. This may partly reflect late-stage deals, as well as the fortitude of executives and the muted impact of U.S. tariff announcements.

Deal Dispatch: Trump Settlement Clears Way For Paramount Merger, Euronext Eyes Greece, KKR Strikes Twice

As Americans set off fireworks for the Fourth, Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/jensen-huang">CEO Jensen Huang</a> might need a bigger sparkler. The stock just closed at $159.34 on Thursday, less than 3% shy of the historic $4 trillion market cap milestone. If it hits $164, it'll become the first chipmaker — and only the second U.S. company after Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) &#8211; to touch that number. 
That's not just bullish momentum. That's a whole new orbit.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Fundamental Setup</h2>
After a brief tariff tantrum over AI chip restrictions to China, Nvidia didn't just bounce back &#8211; it rocketed. A Morgan Stanley note this week citing "very strong demand for all Blackwell form factors" poured fuel on the fire,<a href="https://www.theinformation.com/articles/nvidia-nears-4-trillion-market-cap"> reported</a> The Information. And while China sales are under pressure, Europe is stepping up: Nvidia's slew of new partnerships with European AI developers could be the offset investors needed.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Competitive Smoke, No Fire</h2>
Despite whispers of rivals like Microsoft and Alphabet Inc&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) Google designing custom AI chips, none have dented Nvidia's dominance. In fact:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>OpenAI walked back TPU hype, saying no plans to scale Google's chips.</li>
<li>Microsoft hit delays in developing its own silicon.</li>
<li>Even Apple's AI efforts remain niche, not threatening.</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Valuation? Still Reasonable</h2>
For skeptics calling this a bubble, here's the kicker: Nvidia trades at a discount to Advanced Micro Devices Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) and close enough to Broadcom Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>) on forward earnings. Per <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/register?utm_adType=bzprocontent&amp;utm_campaign=14daytrial&amp;utm_ad=0704">Benzinga Pro</a> data, NVDA stock currently trades at a forward earnings ratio of 36.63, while AMD and AVGO trade at 37.18 and 32.89 P/E (forward), respectively.
In a market where megacap stocks are routinely accused of being overpriced, Nvidia's numbers remain surprisingly grounded &#8211; if not a bargain, then at least justifiable.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Trading Idea: Long Into the $4 Trillion Launchpad</h2>

For those looking for ways to trade/position for the $4 trillion Nvidia moment, you could consider:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Accumulate Zone: Accumulating on any dip below $158 if markets stay risk-on.</li>
<li>Breakout Trade: Watching any breakout above $164 closely, targeting $170+ short-term.</li>
<li>Risk Management: Place stop-loss near $152; reevaluate on new China-related headlines.</li>
</ul>
AI may be the buzzword, but Nvidia's grip on the real infrastructure behind the hype hasn't loosened one bit. With competitive threats fizzling and new demand corridors opening in Europe, the next few days could deliver a firecracker of a milestone: $4 trillion — and counting.

<h3>Why Pay Attention to Insider Transactions</h3>
Investors should view insider transactions as part of a multifaceted analysis and not rely solely on them for decision-making.
When discussing legal matters, the term "insider" refers to any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than ten percent of a company's equity securities, as stipulated in Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This includes executives in the c-suite and significant hedge funds. Such insiders are required to report their transactions through a Form 4 filing, which must be completed within two business days of the transaction.
A new purchase by a company insider is a indication that they anticipate the stock will rise.
On the other hand, insider sells may not necessarily indicate a bearish view and can be motivated by various factors.
<h3>Important Transaction Codes</h3>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">Investors</a> prefer focusing on transactions that take place in the open market, indicated in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 indicates a purchase, while S indicates a sale. Transaction code C indicates the conversion of an option, and transaction code A indicates grant, award or other acquisition of securities from the company.

<h3>Exploring the Significance of Insider Trading</h3>
Insider transactions contribute to decision-making but should be supplemented by a comprehensive investment analysis.
Considering the legal perspective, an "insider" is defined as any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than ten percent of a company's equity securities, according to Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This includes executives in the c-suite and major hedge funds. These insiders are mandated to disclose their transactions through a Form 4 filing, to be submitted within two business days of the transaction.
Pointing towards optimism, a company insider's new purchase signals their positive anticipation for the stock to rise.
Nevertheless, insider sells may not necessarily indicate a bearish view and can be influenced by various factors.
<h3>Transaction Codes To Focus On</h3>
When analyzing transactions, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">investors</a> tend to focus on those in the open market, detailed in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 denotes a purchase,while S signifies a sale. Transaction code C signals the conversion of an option, and transaction code A denotes a grant, award, or other acquisition of securities from the company.

<h3>The Importance of Insider Transactions</h3>
While insider transactions should not be the sole basis for making investment decisions, they can play a significant role in an investor's decision-making process.
In legal terms, an "insider" refers to any officer, director, or beneficial owner of more than ten percent of a company's equity securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This can include executives in the c-suite and large hedge funds. These insiders are required to let the public know of their transactions via a Form 4 filing, which must be filed within two business days of the transaction.
When a company insider makes a new purchase, that is an indication that they expect the stock to rise.
Insider sells, on the other hand, can be made for a variety of reasons, and may not necessarily mean that the seller thinks the stock will go down. 
<h3>A Deep Dive into Insider Transaction Codes</h3>
Navigating through the landscape of transactions, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">investors</a> often prioritize those unfolding in the open market, precisely detailed in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 denotes a purchase, while S signifies a sale. Transaction code C signals the conversion of an option, and transaction code A denotes a grant, award, or other acquisition of securities from the company.

Apple has progressively worked to add new applications, like streaming video, subscription bundles, and augmented reality. The firm designs its own software and semiconductors while working with subcontractors like Foxconn and TSMC to build its products and chips. Slightly less than half of Apple's sales come directly through its flagship stores, with a majority of sales coming indirectly through partnerships and distribution.

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1751641244_0.png" alt="debt to equity" />
The debt-to-equity (D/E) ratio is a key indicator of a company's financial health and its reliance on debt financing.
Considering the debt-to-equity ratio in industry comparisons allows for a concise evaluation of a company's financial health and risk profile, aiding in informed decision-making.
When examining Apple in comparison to its top 4 peers with respect to the Debt-to-Equity ratio, the following information becomes apparent:
<ul>
<li>
Among its top 4 peers, Apple is placed in the middle with a moderate debt-to-equity ratio of 1.47.
</li>
<li>
This implies a balanced financial structure, with a reasonable proportion of debt and equity.
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Key Takeaways</h3>
For Apple in the Technology Hardware, Storage &amp; Peripherals industry, the PE ratio is low compared to peers, indicating potential undervaluation. The high PB and PS ratios suggest that the market values Apple's assets and sales highly. Apple's high ROE, EBITDA, and gross profit reflect strong profitability, while the low revenue growth may indicate a need for strategic expansion to align with industry trends.
