Hemostemix And FireFly Neuroscience's Brain Network Analytics Engage To Complete Phase 1 Vascular Dementia Clinical Trial Of ACP-01

Retailers are facing selling pressure this week following warnings about continued consumer uncertainty and the potential <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44140954/tariffs-cast-a-shadow-over-best-buy-target-but-is-it-a-buying-opportunity">impacts of tariffs</a>.
What To Know: Trade war fears are rising after President Donald Trump imposed 25% tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico earlier this week. Trump also doubled tariffs on China from 10% to 20%, which has been met with retaliatory tariffs on American goods.
Consumer confidence has also soured in recent months as some GDP forecasts have turned negative and consumer spending&nbsp;unexpectedly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s/25/02/43736972/us-retail-sales-fall-more-than-expected-raise-growth-concerns" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">declined in January</a>. Inflation also remains top of mind with&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/02/43667632/inflation-rises-in-january-housing-costs-up-adding-to-consumers-2025-concerns" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Consumer Price Index&nbsp;data</a>&nbsp;from January showing a 3% rise, above economist forecasts.&nbsp;If inflation remains elevated above the Federal Reserve's 2% goal, rates are not likely to come down anytime soon.
Earnings from retailers this week have also weighed on consumer sentiment. Despite beating estimates on the top and bottom lines in the fourth quarter, Target Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TGT#NYSE">TGT</a>) shares plunged after the retailer warned that February sales were weak and said it expects to see a &#8220;meaningful&#8221; decline in profits in the first quarter.
Target attributed &#8220;soft&#8221; February sales to declining consumer confidence paired with cold weather, per <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/03/04/target-tgt-q4-2024-earnings.html">CNBC</a>. 
&#8220;Looking ahead, we expect to see a moderation in this trend as apparel sales respond to warmer weather around the country, and consumers turn to Target for upcoming seasonal moments such as the Easter holiday,&#8221; CFO Jim Lee said. &#8220;We will continue to monitor these trends and will remain appropriately cautious with our expectations for the year ahead.&#8221;
Target CEO Brian Cornell also told CNBC that Trump&#8217;s tariffs on Mexican imports that went into effect on Tuesday could end up causing Target and other grocers to increase prices on produce such as bananas, strawberries and avocados.

Best Buy Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BBY#NYSE">BBY</a>) also reported earnings this week that came in above analyst expectations, but shares traded down after CEO Corie Barry warned price increases are &#8220;highly likely&#8221; due to Trump&#8217;s tariffs, according to <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/03/04/best-buy-bby-q4-2025-earnings.html">CNBC</a>.
Barry told investors and analysts on the earnings call that about 55% of Best Buy&#8217;s products are sourced from China and about 20% come from Mexico. 
&#8220;Trade is critically important to our business and industry. The consumer electronic supply chain is highly global, technical and complex. We expect our vendors across our entire assortment will pass along some level of tariff costs to retailers, making price increases for American consumers highly likely,&#8221; Barry said.
Although the company only directly imports about 2% to 3% of its products, Best Buy is reportedly making adjustments to its supply chain sourcing in response to tariffs. The company also expressed concerns about the consumer&#8217;s ability to keep spending in the face of price increases. 
"The giant wild card here, obviously, is how the consumers are going to react to the price increases, in light of a lot of price increases potentially throughout the year and a general consumer confidence that is showing little signs of weakness at the moment," Best Buy CFO Matt Bilunas reportedly said on the conference call following earnings.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy TNXP Stock</h2>
Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share &#8211; or fractional share &#8211; of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument. 
For example, in Tonix Pharmaceuticals&#8217; case, it is in the Health Care sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.
According to data from&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, TNXP has a 52-week high of $1,216.00 and a 52-week low of $6.76.

The decline this week comes as crude oil prices slump to a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/XLE">six-month low</a> following a larger-than-expected build in U.S. crude inventories, raising concerns about weakening demand.
What To Know: As the largest U.S. oil major, Exxon relies heavily on strong crude prices to drive its upstream earnings. Lower oil prices directly impact its production revenues, reducing cash flow that funds dividends and capital expenditures. 
Additionally, Exxon's refining and chemical businesses, which typically act as a hedge against oil price declines, could also fall under pressure due to weaker margins and softening global demand.

Exxon has focused on expanding production in key regions like the Permian Basin and Guyana, but lower crude prices could challenge profitability in these areas.

Investors remain wary of the company's near-term outlook.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy XOM Stock</h2>
Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share &#8211; or fractional share &#8211; of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument. 
For example, in Exxon Mobil&#8217;s case, it is in the Energy sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.
According to data from <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, XOM has a 52-week high of $126.34 and a 52-week low of $103.67.

He owns franchises, endorses brands, and even dabbles in DJing. But when it comes to picking a favorite investment, his reasoning is about as simple as it gets.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">His ‘Fabulous' Favorite</h2>
In a <a href="https://youtu.be/w9eiTmNLvRk?si=RlQ6kAkP_YMLtseB">2019 Wall Street Journal interview</a>, Shaq was asked about his business ventures, which at the time included big-name franchises like 24 Hour Fitness, Five Guys, and Papa John's. But without hesitation, he singled out one brand above the rest. "My favorite one right now is Krispy Kreme," he said.&nbsp;
When asked why, Shaq responded with a simple answer: "'Cause I like doughnuts."

</ul>
Of course, Shaq being Shaq, he couldn't resist taking a friendly shot at his "Inside the NBA" co-host Charles Barkley, adding, "And Charles Barkley loves doughnuts. He's my biggest customer."&nbsp;
But Shaq's love for Krispy Kreme isn't just about cracking jokes. It started back in college, when he first tasted the brand's legendary Original Glazed Doughnut. "I was introduced to it in college, and been in love with it ever since," he said. He even described Krispy Kreme as a "fabulous doughnuts."

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Turning Passion into Business</h2>
Shaq didn't just remain a loyal customer—he became an owner. In 2016, he made Krispy Kreme more than just a guilty pleasure by purchasing the iconic Ponce de Leon location in Atlanta. The store had been a community fixture for over 60 years, and Shaq reportedly paid around $2.75 million for it. He didn't stop there—he also became the brand's global spokesperson.
In 2021, disaster struck when a fire severely damaged Shaq's Krispy Kreme location. But rather than walk away, he doubled down, vowing to rebuild and grow with the brand. By 2023, he made good on that promise, proudly announcing the grand reopening on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/Cnz7WKCuxNP/?igsh=MXNtZ3NpZmprMGliZw==">Instagram</a>, saying he had "bounced back better than ever."

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Investing in What You Love: Shaq and Warren Buffett'</h2>
Shaq's investment approach is straightforward. If he enjoys something, he buys into it.&nbsp;
This strategy isn't unique to Shaq. Warren Buffett, one of the most successful investors in history, follows the same philosophy. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42115069/warren-buffett-is-set-to-collect-776-million-in-coca-cola-dividends-but-daughter-says-his-wife-buys-him-the-soda-on-sale">Buffett loves Coca-Cola</a> and drinks it daily, so Berkshire Hathaway owns a massive stake in the company.
Buffett also adores See's Candies, which he acquired in 1972 for $25 million. That investment has returned over 8,000%, according to Markets Insider. He took the same approach with Dairy Queen, purchasing it in 1997 for $585 million because he believed in its simple franchise model and widespread appeal.
Buffett summed up this philosophy back in 1993, famously saying, "I'm a better investor because I'm a businessman, and I'm a better businessman because I'm an investor."

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Sweet Spot of Smart Investing</h2>
Shaq and Buffett may come from different worlds, but their investment strategies align: if you love it, invest in it.
For Shaq, that means keeping Krispy Kreme's hot light on. For others, it might be a reminder that sometimes, the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/10/41252767/warren-buffetts-timeless-advice-is-to-invest-in-stocks-that-youd-be-perfectly-happy-to-hold-if-the-m">best business moves come from genuine passion</a>.

The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) has long been the go-to choice for investors wanting broad exposure to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">the U.S. stock market</a>. 
But as markets gyrate with fresh economic and geopolitical developments, and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/etf">alternative ETFs gain traction</a>, is SPY still the best bet for your portfolio? Let's break it down.
SPY — a passively managed ETF that aims to mirror the performance of the S&amp;P 500 Index — boasts a massive asset base of over $619.47 billion. That makes it the largest ETF of its kind.
Large-cap companies are those with market capitalizations above $10 billion. They tend to be stable and generate consistent cash flows. This makes SPY a relatively less risky investment than mid- or small-cap ETFs. 
As a blend ETF, it holds a mix of growth and value stocks, making it a balanced choice for investors looking for diversification.

SPY&#8217;s underlying index, the S&amp;P 500, is composed of the largest publicly traded U.S. companies. It spans 25-plus industries.
So far in 2025, SPY is down 1.04%, but it has gained 13.5% over the past year, as of March 6, 10.38 a.m. EST.
In terms of risk, SPY has a beta of 1, making it a medium-risk investment whose performance is at par with broader market movements.
SPY has its largest exposure to the Information Technology sector, which makes up around 30.10% of the portfolio. Financials and Healthcare are the next two largest sectors.
The fund&#8217;s top 10 holdings account for about 36% of total assets. Therefore, a significant portion of its performance is tied to these top holdings: Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), 7.18%; Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), 6.01%; and Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), 5.8%.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">SPY's Challenged Leadership</h2>
After holding the title of the world's largest ETF for 32 years, SPY briefly lost its crown mid-February to the Vanguard S&amp;P 500 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VOO#NYSE">VOO</a>), according to ETF.com. While SPY has since reclaimed the top spot, analysts believe it may not hold onto it for much longer, given the growing momentum in other ETFs. Back in 2011, the SPDR Gold Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLD#NYSE">GLD</a>) momentarily surpassed SPY. However, a better comparison with SPY will be VOO as it offers identical exposure to SPY but at a much lower cost, giving it a major competitive edge.
Some experts even suggest SPY could fall to third place behind iShares Core S&amp;P 500 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IVV#NYSE">IVV</a>) later this year if trends persist, according to a report by ETF.com.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why Costs Matter</h2>
When choosing an ETF, cost is a crucial factor. The good news? SPY is an affordable option, with an annual expense ratio of just 0.09%. Over the long run, lower fees can make a big difference in your overall returns. The fund also offers a trailing 12-month dividend yield of 1.22%, adding a layer of income potential for investors. However, VOO and IVV both offer a similar strategy at a much lower expense ratio of 0.03%, which are driving some investors to them. 
SPY has dominated the ETF market for decades, and its size and liquidity make it hard to ignore. But as investors become more cost-conscious, rivals like IVV and VOO are giving it stiff competition. If you prioritize liquidity and ease of trading, SPY remains a solid choice. However, if you&#8217;re focused on minimizing expenses, you might want to explore alternatives.
