Renowned tech investor and Palantir Technologies&#8217; co-founder&nbsp;Peter Thiel&nbsp;has made a daring prediction about the potential impact of President-elect Donald Trump&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/24/11/41902202/trumps-china-hawks-rumored-for-top-roles-yuan-hits-3-month-low">60% tariff on Chinese goods</a>.
What Happened: On Thursday, during an interview with The Free Press, Thiel suggested that such a tariff would be &#8220;very, very bad&#8221; for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/24/11/41912771/trump-presidency-magnificent-7-stock-impact-benzinga-readers-pick-tech-titan-at-most-risk-following-2024-election">Chinese companies</a> and China as a whole.
However, he believes the impact on American consumers would be &#8220;mildly negative&#8221; as manufacturing would likely shift away from China.
According to Thiel, shifting manufacturing from China to Vietnam would significantly harm China, and have only a minor impact on American consumers. From a geopolitical perspective, he argued, this move would align closely with American strategic interests.

Why It Matters: Earlier this year, Chinese stocks <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/05/38782459/china-focused-etfs-have-become-political-footballs-in-us-as-investor-apprehension-leads-to-large-sca#google_vignette">experienced a notable rally</a>, pushing the SSE Composite Index in Shanghai to its highest point since September 2023.
However, Trump's proposed tariffs, which could reach as high as 60% on Chinese goods, along with additional import hikes on other nations, could disrupt these investments.
A day after Trump won, China-linked ETFs witnessed a sharp fall after rallying for nearly two months.

Peter Thiel Says Trump's 60% China Tariff Would Be 'Very, Very Bad' For Beijing, Here's What's At Stake

Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) is trading over 5% on Robinhood&#8217;s overnight trading service after a report on Sunday, suggested that the upcoming regulatory framework might ease mandates for self-driving vehicles. 
What Happened: The transition team of President-elect Donald Trump has told advisors that it aims to make a framework for fully self-driving vehicles a priority for the Transportation Department, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-11-17/trump-team-said-to-want-to-ease-us-rules-for-self-driving-cars">reported</a> Bloomberg, citing people familiar with the matter. 
Tesla CEO Elon Musk recently secured a position to lead the newly created Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) in the Trump administration, supported federal rules for autonomous vehicles in Tesla&#8217;s third-quarter earnings call, saying he would use any role to push the government to allow autonomous vehicles to be used nationwide. 
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration allows automakers to deploy only 2,500 autonomous vehicles per year, while efforts to increase this number have repeatedly failed.

Why It Matters: In October, Musk unveiled Tesla&#8217;s long-awaited robotaxi, which aims to mass produce &#8216;Cybercabs&#8217; by 2026. Investors and market analysts are considering robotaxi&#8217;s success as a major factor for the company&#8217;s valuation, while some investors remain skeptical about <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41444334/tesla-robotaxi-reveal-falls-flat-amid-lack-of-clarity-shifting-focus-back-on-elon-m">robotaxi&#8217;s success in regulatory approval</a>. 
In October, ARK Investment Management said that Tesla&#8217;s driverless ride-hailing plans could unlock $11 trillion in revenue potential, exceeding the total addressable market <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41593922/cathie-woods-ark-invest-sees-tesla-unlocking-11-trillion-revenue-potential-with-rob">that ride-hailing companies</a> Uber Technologies Inc. and LYFT Inc. are targeting.
The Future Fund&nbsp;Managing Partner&nbsp;Gary Black has repeatedly voiced skepticism about&nbsp;Tesla maintaining a monopoly in the unsupervised autonomy market, citing competition from Alphabet Inc (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>)-backed Waymo, Baidu (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BIDU#NASDAQ">BIDU</a>) and Mobileye Global (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MBLY#NASDAQ">MBLY</a>) who has already received approval to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/08/40333845/gary-black-highlights-skepticism-over-teslas-autonomy-ambitions-amid-competition-fr">deploy their autonomous vehicles</a>.
Price Action: Tesla is trading 5.69% higher at $339 on Robinhood&#8217;s overnight trading service. The stock closed at $320.72 in a regular trading session on Friday, gaining 3.07% for the day. In after-hours trading, the stock edged up 0.0062%. Year to date, Tesla's stock has risen by 29.10%, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Tesla Soars Over 5% In Overnight Trading As Trump Administration Reportedly Seeks To Ease FSD Norms

Gita Gopinath, Deputy Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund, expressed concern over the increasing energy consumption and carbon footprint of cryptocurrency mining and AI data centers, expected to worsen in the next few years.
What Happened: In an X post on Sunday, Gopinath stated, citing IMF data, that the share of cryptocurrency mining and data centers in global electricity could rise to 3.5% by 2027 in a base case scenario, from 2% in 2022. This would equate to the current consumption of Japan, the world&#8217;s fifth-largest electricity user.
In the high-case scenario, the share could expand to nearly 6%, while the low-case scenario would see a slight increase to 2.2%.

Interestingly, cryptocurrency mining activity&#8217;s share in global CO₂ emissions was projected to decline in 2027, primarily driven by the reduction in mining rewards <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/what-is-bitcoin-halving">due to halving</a>.

Why It Matters: Gopinath&#8217;s concerns come amid the ongoing debate around Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) mining's environmental impact
According to the Cambridge Bitcoin Electricity Consumption Index, the annual greenhouse emissions from Bitcoin mining were&nbsp;<a href="https://ccaf.io/cbnsi/cbeci/ghg/comparisons" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">higher&nbsp;</a>than in countries like Greece and North Korea.
However, the increasing footprint hasn&#8217;t deterred nations from exploring the economic prospects associated with the still-nascent business.

Gita Gopinath Of IMF Alarmed By Crypto And AI Energy Use, Says Share Expected To Match Japan's Current Power Consumption In Just 3 Years

Former presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. didn&#8217;t mince words when he praised Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) as a solution to the U.S. national debt and an inflation hedge.
What Happened: Kennedy recently took to X to express his unwavering support for the leading cryptocurrency. 
&#8220;Bitcoin is the currency of freedom, a hedge against inflation for middle-class Americans, a remedy against the dollar's downgrade from the world's reserve currency, and the offramp from a ruinous national debt,&#8221; he said.
Kennedy also firmly endorsed Howard Lutnik for Treasury Secretary in the incoming Donald Trump administration, arguing that the Cantor Fitzgerald CEO would be a major advocate of Bitcoin.

Why It Matters: Kennedy Jr.&#8217;s advocacy for Bitcoin is not new. In July, during his presidential campaign, he expressed his intent to persuade the federal government <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/07/39976220/robert-kennedy-jr-proposes-bitcoin-purchase-to-match-us-gold-reserves-an-offramp-to-the-inflationary">to accumulate Bitcoin until its holdings equaled the nation&#8217;s gold reserves</a>.

Meanwhile, President-elect Trump <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care/24/11/42017583/trumps-go-wild-on-health-plan-puts-rfk-jr-in-charge-what-it-means-for-cannabis-and-psychedelics-reform">announced</a> that Kennedy would serve as the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS), marking the inclusion of yet another pro-Bitcoin voice in the upcoming cabinet.

Robert Kennedy Jr. Calls Bitcoin The 'Currency of Freedom,' Backs Trump's Treasury Secretary Pick As Best For Crypto

Cathie Wood, CEO of ARK Invest, endorsed the newly created Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) under Elon Musk&#8216;s leadership while advocating for stricter government spending controls in a series of posts on X on Sunday.
What Happened: &#8220;Government spending is taxation,&#8221; Wood said, citing her early economics education with Arthur Laffer. She emphasized that government spending either translates to immediate tax increases, future generational burdens, or inflation, which she termed &#8220;the most regressive tax of all.&#8221;
The discussion gained momentum following Coinbase Global Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>) CEO Brian Armstrong&#8216;s proposals for constitutional reforms to limit federal expenditures. Armstrong suggested implementing a constitutional amendment capping government spending at 10% and establishing a U.S. sovereign wealth fund that would distribute shares and dividends from budget surpluses to citizens.
Wood, who recently praised Musk&#8217;s appointment to lead DOGE in a CNBC interview, emphasized his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/24/11/42022531/cathie-wood-backs-elon-musks-2-trillion-doge-initiative-says-tesla-ceos-access-to-proprietary-data-and-ai-gives-him-an-edge">technological expertise as crucial for the department&#8217;s mission</a> to minimize waste and streamline government operations. 
The department, named after the cryptocurrency Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>), aims to eliminate unnecessary regulations and reorganize federal agencies for improved efficiency.
Dogecoin rallied by 6.52% over the past 24 hours to $0.372. The cryptocurrency surged 26.24% in the past week and an impressive 155.42% over the last month.

Why It Matters: Drawing parallels to historical economic transformations, Wood highlighted the former President Ronald Reagan administration&#8217;s impact: &#8220;The Reagan revolution extended through President Clinton&#8217;s administration, leading to lower taxes, stronger GDP growth, and a bull market rewarding active equity management that lasted nearly 20 years. We believe that this bull market has just begun to broaden out.&#8221;
With President-elect Donald Trump&#8216;s upcoming return to the White House, Wood anticipates significant economic growth through deregulation and tax cuts, similar to the Reagan era&#8217;s economic policies. She predicts these changes, combined with DOGE&#8217;s efficiency initiatives, will &#8220;change the mindset profoundly in Washington&#8221; and potentially lead to lower individual and corporate tax rates.
The ARK Invest CEO, who maintains a bullish stance on cryptocurrency with Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) price predictions reaching $650,000 to $1.5 million by 2030, believes <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42019038/bitcoin-to-hit-up-to-1-5-million-by-2030-says-cathie-wood">the current bull market</a> &#8220;has just begun to broaden out,&#8221; suggesting a positive outlook for both traditional and digital asset markets under the incoming administration.

Cathie Wood Draws Reagan-Era Parallels As Elon Musk Takes DOGE Helm: 'This Bull Market Has Just Begun To Broaden Out'

A meme coin inspired by the &#8220;Peanut," the squirrel, maintained its upward march Sunday as UFC legend Jim Miller demanded justice for the late animal.
What happened: Peanut the Squirrel (PNUT) jumped over 11% to become the market's fourth-best-performing cryptocurrency in the last 24 hours.&nbsp;
The coin's trading volume rose 13% to $1.70 billion, eclipsing Shiba Inu (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/shib/usd">SHIB</a>) and dogwifhat (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">WIF</a>), coins with bigger market capitalization.
The fresh rally boosted the Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>)-based coin's weekly gains to a staggering 1343%, dwarfing the returns of other coins.
In less than two weeks since launch, PNUT has amassed a market capitalization of $1.72 billion, becoming the seventh-largest meme coin.

Sunday's rally came after UFC star Miller used his victory speech to draw attention to the cause of the late social media star.
"New York, I got one thing to say, first. We need justice for P'Nut," Miller said after defeating Damon Jackson at the Madison Square Garden.
Miller hoped that the newly constituted <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41998717/elon-musk-and-vivek-ramaswamy-are-looking-for-high-iq-small-government-revolutionaries-who-are-willing-to-put-in-80-hours-at-doge">Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE</a>, would help fix these issues. "Hopefully that DOGE cleans things up down at the state level."

Peanut The Squirrel-Themed Coin Rallies 11% As UFC Star Jim Miller Demands 'Justice' for P'Nut' After Victory

Nvidia Corporation&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) new Blackwell AI chips are reportedly grappling with overheating issues. 
What Happened: Nvidia&#8217;s Blackwell AI chips are experiencing overheating problems when connected to server racks designed to hold up to 72 chips, <a href="https://www.theinformation.com/articles/nvidia-customers-worry-about-snag-with-new-ai-chip-servers">reported</a> The Information, citing Nvidia employees working on the problem and customers and suppliers familiar with the situation.
The chipmaker has reportedly requested its suppliers to modify the rack design multiple times to address the overheating issue.

A Nvidia spokesperson told Reuters, &#8220;Nvidia is working with leading cloud service providers as an integral part of our engineering team and process. The engineering iterations are normal and expected.&#8221;
Nvidia did not immediately respond to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga&#8217;s</a> request for comments.
The Blackwell chips, unveiled by Nvidia in March, were initially slated to ship in the second quarter.
However, they faced delays, potentially affecting customers such as Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), Alphabet Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Google and Elon Musk&#8217;s xAI.
Why It Matters: The Blackwell chip combines two silicon squares into a single component. It is touted to be 30 times faster at tasks like responding to chatbot queries than the company&#8217;s previous offering.
The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41156900/nvidia-ceo-jensen-huang-says-demand-for-next-gen-blackwell-gpu-platform-insane-everyone-wants-to-hav">demand for the Blackwell GPU</a> platform was described as &#8220;insane&#8221; by Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang last month.
Nvidia&#8217;s Blackwell chip revenue was projected to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/41883803/nvidias-blackwell-chip-revenue-could-hit-6-billion-next-quarter-analyst">hit $6 billion in the next quarter</a>, according to a Morgan Stanley analyst. This projection was made despite Nvidia being fully supply-constrained on new products.
Earlier this month, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/24/11/41761849/nvidia-blows-past-apple-to-become-worlds-most-valuable-company">Nvidia surpassed Apple</a> to become the world&#8217;s most valuable company, largely due to its dominance in the artificial intelligence chip market. The AI giant&#8217;s current market capitalization stands at $3.482 trillion.
Price Action: Nvidia shares closed Friday&#8217;s trading session with a 3.26% decline, settling at $141.98. In after-hours trading, the stock saw a slight uptick, reaching $142.70 at the time of writing, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin Slip As Fed's Hawkish Stance Tempers Rally: Analyst Expects BTC To Reach $100K Before New Year

The Future Fund LLC, Managing Partner Gary Black pushed back against accusations of short-term trading, clarifying his firm's Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) investment approach focuses on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/41870590/tesla-remains-core-for-gary-black-despite-price-cuts-earnings-drop-nvidia-google-eli-lilly-among-top-performers-in-tech-bulls-portfolio">strategic position adjustment rather than active trading</a>.
What Happened: Black revealed that The Future Fund&#8217;s average Tesla stock purchase price since early 2023 has been $162, while their average selling price has been $252. This disclosure came amid debate over the fund&#8217;s trading practices on social media platform X.
&#8220;We don&#8217;t trade Tesla,&#8221; Black stated. &#8220;We trim when Tesla&#8217;s price goes higher, which causes upside/downside to decline. We tend to buy more when Tesla&#8217;s price falls.&#8221;
The investment veteran expressed concern about growing polarization within the Tesla investor community, noting that moderate voices are being pushed out by extreme positions. Black highlighted recent instances where well-known Tesla bulls faced criticism for discussing potential short-term risks, even while maintaining overall positive outlooks.
&#8220;The community has lost some great Tesla longs as spokespeople and is in danger of losing still more because the cult is prone to attack anyone who is not over the top bullish,&#8221; Black wrote.

Of particular concern to Black is the potential loss of the $7,500 federal EV tax credit, which he argues could significantly impact Tesla&#8217;s business. With electric vehicles comprising approximately 80% of Tesla&#8217;s revenue, the company faces greater exposure to EV market dynamics compared to traditional automakers.

Why It Matters: The Future Fund has maintained Tesla as a significant holding since its 2021 launch, though the position has been adjusted from 12.2% in October 2022 to 4.6% as of November 2023. These adjustments reflect Black&#8217;s disciplined investment approach and response to changing market conditions.
Tesla&#8217;s stock has shown significant volatility over the past year, trading between a low of $138.80 and a high of $358.64, according to market data. Black&#8217;s fund recently trimmed positions at $351 after the stock rose 150% from its April bottom.
&#8220;As disciplined growth investors, we have to like Tesla less at $350 than we did at $140 since the relative upside/downside is less favorable,&#8221; Black explained.
The veteran investor emphasized that maintaining a balanced perspective, including acknowledging both bullish and bearish cases, has been key to his credibility in financial media appearances.
Price Action: Tesla stock closed at $320.72 on Friday, gaining 3.07% for the day. In after-hours trading, the stock edged up 0.0062%. Year to date, Tesla&#8217;s stock has risen by 29.10%, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Gary Black Defends Tesla Strategy Amid Clash With Elon Musk Bulls: 'We Don't Trade Tesla... We Trim When The Price Goes Higher'

Former Governor of South Carolina and erstwhile presidential candidate Nikki Haley said on Sunday that Iran&#8217;s oil exports had risen four-fold under President Joe Biden due to his &#8220;lack of enforcement.&#8221;
What Happened: In a post on X, she said that &#8220;nearly all of the oil went to China.&#8221;

&#8220;Biden's weakness on Iran is ending and not a moment too soon. America can never support the funding of terrorism,&#8221; said the former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations.
The former governor also shared a <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/3710bf14-010e-412d-83c7-b07773d6a45f">report</a> by the Financial Times which noted that President-elect Donald Trump&#8217;s administration is planning to reinstate its &#8220;maximum pressure&#8221; policy on Iran, aiming to cripple the nation&#8217;s ability to fund regional proxies and develop nuclear weapons.
Trump&#8217;s foreign policy team is gearing up to increase sanctions on Tehran, including vital oil exports, as soon as Trump takes office in January. &#8220;He&#8217;s determined to reinstitute a maximum pressure strategy to bankrupt Iran as soon as possible,&#8221; a national security expert familiar with the Trump transition revealed.
The strategy comes amidst Middle East turmoil following Hamas&#8217;s October 7, 2023 attack, which ignited regional hostilities and brought Israel&#8217;s shadow war with Iran into the open. Trump&#8217;s team believes the maximum pressure tactic could force Iran into negotiations with the US, although experts consider this a long shot.
During his first term, Trump implemented a &#8220;maximum pressure&#8221; campaign after abandoning the 2015 nuclear deal Iran signed with world powers, imposing hundreds of sanctions on the Islamic republic. In response, Tehran increased its nuclear activity, enriching uranium close to weapons-grade level.

Trump&#8217;s transition team is preparing executive orders to target Tehran, including tightening and adding new sanctions on Iranian oil exports. &#8220;If they really go whole hog . . . they could knock Iran's oil exports back to a few hundred thousand barrels per day,&#8221; said Bob McNally, president of consultancy Rapidan Energy.
Why It Matters: Iran&#8217;s crude oil exports have more than tripled in the past four years, from a low of 400,000 barrels a day in 2020 to more than 1.5mn b/d so far in 2024, with nearly all shipments going to China, according to the US Energy Information Agency, noted the Financial Times.
The pace of oil exports from Iran to China has been rising at a steady clip. Data from the U.S. Department of Energy shows that In 2021, Iran exported 708,000 barrels of oil to China per day, this figure rose to 838,000 barrels in 2022 and touched 1.2 million barrels per day by 2023.
While stricter enforcement could push oil prices higher, it risks retaliation from China, including moves to weaken dollar dominance through the BRICS club. Simultaneously, easing sanctions on Russia under Trump could reshape global energy dynamics, reported Reuters.
&#8220;I was a user of sanctions, but I put them on and take them off as quickly as possible, because ultimately it kills your dollar, and it kills everything the dollar represents,&#8221; said Trump in September, according to Reuters.
In recent weeks the tensions between Washington and Tehran have been escalating. The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/10/41298349/us-hits-iran-oil-exports-with-new-sanctions-after-israel-attack-crude-oil-holds-steady-at-75">US imposed new sanctions on Iran&#8217;s oil exports</a> following Iran&#8217;s direct attack on Israel.
Shortly after, in November, the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/11/41857278/iranian-plot-against-trump-unveiled-as-tensions-with-us-grow">US disclosed an assassination plot by Iranian operatives targeting Trump</a>, which was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/11/41869511/iran-calls-trump-assassination-plot-claims-completely-baseless">dismissed by Iran as baseless</a>.

Last week, Bezos sold off Amazon stock worth $1.3 billion, taking his total sales for November to a whopping $3.4 billion.
What Happened:&nbsp;Bezos has offloaded a total of $5.1 billion worth of Amazon stock since July. These sales were carried out under a prearranged trading plan known as 10b5-1, a common practice among large shareholders. 
Barron&#8217;s reports that this <a href="https://www.barrons.com/amp/articles/amazon-stock-sales-jeff-bezos-a0fd8878">plan</a>, which was announced in May, replaced a previous one and was designed for Bezos to sell 25 million Amazon shares by the end of 2025.

</ul>
Bezos has completed his sales ahead of schedule. His last trade under the plan was conducted on Wednesday, where he sold 39,538 shares for approximately $8 million. 
This transaction took his total share sales since July to the planned 25 million, marking the end of the current plan.
While Amazon has chosen not to comment on the stock sales, investors are eagerly awaiting the announcement of a new plan, possibly in Amazon&#8217;s next quarterly report. 
Despite the massive sales, Bezos still holds over a billion Amazon shares, valued at $213 billion.
Why It Matters:&nbsp;Bezos&#8217; massive sell-off of Amazon shares, totaling $5.1 billion since July, has been a topic of interest among investors. 
The sales were conducted under a prearranged 10b5-1 trading plan, which is commonly used by large shareholders to avoid accusations of insider trading. 
The completion of this plan ahead of schedule has sparked anticipation for the announcement of a new plan, potentially to be revealed in Amazon&#8217;s upcoming quarterly report. 
Despite the large-scale sales, Bezos remains a major shareholder in Amazon, with over a billion shares valued at $213 billion.

Bezos Wraps Up Sale Of $3.4B Worth Of Amazon Shares

In a shocking revelation, boxing legend Mike Tyson disclosed that he had a near-death experience just months before his fight with Jake Paul.
What Happened: Tyson underwent eight blood transfusions and lost 25 pounds during a hospital stay in June, a month before his Netflix bout with Paul. The fight, however, took place five months later.
Tyson, 58, shared his ordeal in his first post on X on Sunday after the fight, stating, &#8220;I almost died in June. Had 8 blood transfusions. Lost half my blood and 25lbs in hospital and had to fight to get healthy to fight so I won.&#8221;

The former heavyweight champion suffered an ulcer flare-up and a medical emergency during a flight from Miami to Los Angeles in May, leading to a postponement of the fight. Despite the health scare, Tyson managed to complete eight rounds with Paul at the Dallas Cowboy stadium.
However, Tyson&#8217;s health issues seemed to affect his performance, with Paul landing most of the punches. The fight marked Tyson&#8217;s first sanctioned bout since 2005, <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/11/16/sports/mike-tyson-reveals-he-almost-died-months-before-jake-paul-bout/">the</a> New York Post reported.

Despite the setback, Tyson expressed gratitude for the experience, stating, &#8220;To have my children see me stand toe to toe and finish 8 rounds with a talented fighter half my age in front of a packed Dallas Cowboy stadium is an experience that no man has the right to ask for.&#8221;
Why It Matters: Tyson&#8217;s near-death experience and subsequent recovery to fight Jake Paul is a testament to his resilience and determination. 
His health scare and the postponement of the fight added another layer of drama to the much-anticipated bout. Despite his health issues, Tyson&#8217;s ability to go eight rounds with a much younger opponent shows his enduring strength and skill as a boxer. 
This fight, his first sanctioned bout since 2005, marks a significant moment in Tyson&#8217;s career and the world of boxing.

Mike Tyson Discloses Near-Death Experience Before Jake Paul Fight

As people age, it's natural that memory and decision-making abilities change. For some, this isn't as much of an issue, but for others, it can greatly impact things like <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/09/40971492/how-does-your-retirement-savings-compare-to-the-average-upper-class-nest-egg-heres-what-the-top-">retirement savings</a>.&nbsp;
A recent study highlights how cognitive decline can cost seniors a staggering amount of money –$31,000 on average – due to poor investment decisions or falling for scams.&nbsp;

</ul>
With people living longer, they're often making financial decisions later in life. However, many seniors find themselves at risk without realizing their memory or mental sharpness is slipping. This is especially true now that fewer retirees rely on pensions or <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/09/40739486/if-i-buy-a-100-000-annuity-how-much-cash-will-it-pay-me-each-month">annuities</a>, leaving them to manage their finances independently.&nbsp;
Franco Peracchi, an economics professor at Tor Vergata University in Rome, told the Wall Street Journal that today's retirees are more vulnerable to financial losses because they often don't realize how cognitive decline affects their decision-making.&nbsp;
The University of Michigan conducted a study that followed Americans ages 50 and older from 1998 to 2014 to track their financial behavior. The study asked participants about their memory over time and conducted memory tests. Over 60% of participants experienced some form of memory decline, but the majority weren't aware of it. Just 20% of those with significant memory loss knew they had a problem. That lack of awareness is where things can go wrong financially.&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>.
Seniors with undiagnosed memory issues lost, on average, $31,000 in wealth over two years. Meanwhile, those aware of their cognitive decline saw a more modest reduction of about $5,400. Those who realized their memory wasn't as sharp were more likely to delegate financial decisions to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/10/41659628/i-am-the-financial-power-of-attorney-but-they-dont-tell-me-anything-woman-seeks-suze-ormans-advi">trusted family members</a> or financial advisors, which helped them avoid greater losses.&nbsp;
So, why does memory loss lead to financial trouble?&nbsp;
For one, seniors with cognitive decline may not realize they're making risky financial decisions, like continuing to invest in the stock market when they shouldn't. Overconfidence can lead to poor choices that hurt their savings.&nbsp;

Another major concern is that seniors with impaired cognitive abilities are more likely to fall for scams. According to the National Institute of Justice, older adults lose more than $36 billion yearly to fraud. Scammers take advantage of more trusting seniors who may not recognize deceit. Common scams include fraudulent investment schemes, fake home repair services and tech support fraud.&nbsp;
If you or someone you love is experiencing cognitive decline, there are steps you can take to protect retirement savings. First, awareness is key. If memory loss is noticeable, it's important to seek help from a health care professional. Having a trusted family member or financial advisor involved in decision-making can also help ensure that choices are made carefully and wisely.

Seniors should also be extra cautious about unsolicited financial offers. If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Staying informed about common scams can also help avoid fraud.
Cognitive decline can be a tough part of aging, but recognizing its impact early can help protect your savings. By staying aware and getting support when needed, seniors can avoid losing tens of thousands of dollars in their retirement years. If you're concerned about the financial impact of memory loss, talking to a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-online-financial-advisors">financial advisor</a> can help you take the right steps to safeguard your assets.

The Hidden Cost Of Cognitive Decline – How Seniors Lose $31,000 In Retirement Savings

Housing proposals put forth by President-elect Donald Trump could have a mixed impact on the high housing costs, as per the analysis of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/24/11/41869407/trump-says-he-wont-sell-truth-social-stock-calls-for-probe-on-rumors">economists and industry experts</a>.
What Happened: Trump&#8217;s proposals to cut federal construction regulations, utilize federal land for housing, and reduce energy costs might help in bringing down housing costs. 
Conversely, his plans to hike tariffs, deport immigrants in large numbers, and reduce housing assistance could potentially lead to an increase in home prices and rents.
Industry leaders and housing policy experts suggest that the impact on housing costs will largely be determined by the amount of new supply that can be brought into the market, which is currently grappling with a severe shortage of homes.
Jim Tobin, CEO of the National Association of Home Builders, is hopeful that Trump will roll back some of the energy efficiency requirements introduced by the Biden administration, streamline regulations under the Clean Water Act, and relax the requirement for Federal Housing Administration borrowers&#8217; homes to be up to code.
&#8220;We need all options on the table when it comes to increasing housing supply, which means allowing more density in suburbs or cities to allow more units to be produced,&#8221; Tobin <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-high-home-prices-housing-mortgage-rates-deregulation-tariffs-immigration-2024-11">told</a> Business Insider.
Trump&#8217;s idea of building up to 10 &#8220;freedom cities&#8221; on federal land has garnered some bipartisan support. Housing experts are of the opinion that this proposal could increase the housing supply, particularly in Western states with large tracts of federally owned land.

However, Trump&#8217;s plans to cut taxes and deport millions of immigrants could lead to inflation and discourage the Federal Reserve from further rate cuts.
Plans by Trump and Vice President-elect JD Vance to deport millions of immigrants are seen by many economists as likely to inflate housing costs, given the significant role immigrants play in the construction workforce.
During his first term, Trump advocated for significant reductions in housing assistance for low-income households and individuals with disabilities. 
Renewing these cuts could further challenge lower-income Americans&#8217; ability to afford housing and hinder the progress of affordable housing development.
Why It Matters: Trump&#8217;s housing proposals, if implemented, could significantly reshape the housing market. 
The potential impact on housing costs, both positive and negative, will be closely watched by industry experts, economists, and potential homebuyers alike. 
The balance between increasing supply and maintaining affordability will be a key factor in determining the success of these proposals.
