The profitability of Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) could be severely impacted under the second Trump administration, with a potential 40% decrease.
What Happened: After a less than stellar Q4 sales performance and a 6% decrease in Tesla&#8217;s shares, JPMorgan analysts foresee more hurdles in the company&#8217;s path. 
The bank&#8217;s predictions are based on President elect Donald Trump&#8216;s plans to do away with EV tax credits and subsidies, which have made Tesla&#8217;s vehicles more affordable to consumers.
For the first time, Tesla reported a drop in annual vehicle sales, with approximately 1.79 million cars sold in 2024, a slight decrease from the record 1.8 million sales in 2023. 
This comes in the wake of a broader slowdown in the EV market as consumer preferences shift towards more economical hybrids.
JPMorgan analyst Ryan Brinkman expressed doubt about Tesla&#8217;s future prospects, stating that the company does not seem poised to dominate the global auto industry during the transition to electrification.

&#8220;Tesla does not appear to us on track to dominate the global auto industry amidst the electrification transition, which we view as only the starting point for present valuation,&#8221; Brinkman wrote in a note on Friday and as quoted <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/tesla-profit-could-shrink-under-trump-policies-jpmorgan-2025-1">by </a>Insider.
Brinkman also contradicted Elon Musk&#8217;s assertion that the removal of EV subsidies would be beneficial for Tesla. He projected that Tesla could lose around $3.2 billion due to regulatory changes under Trump, as government subsidies constitute a significant part of Tesla&#8217;s revenue.
&#8220;The slowing of deliveries, even ahead of a likely subsidy removal, we think has the potential to refocus investors on the deterioration in deliveries, revenue, gross profit, EBIT, EPS, and FCF estimates across all periods,&#8221; Brinkman added in the note. 
Despite these obstacles, Tesla shares experienced a slight recovery on Friday morning, rising by about 4%.
Why It Matters: The potential elimination of EV tax credits and subsidies under the Trump administration could have a significant impact on Tesla&#8217;s profitability. 
These incentives have played a crucial role in making Tesla&#8217;s vehicles more affordable, thereby driving sales. The shift in consumer preferences towards more affordable hybrids could further exacerbate Tesla&#8217;s challenges. 
The company&#8217;s ability to navigate these changes and maintain its market position will be crucial in the coming years.

Here's How Trump Could Wipe Out 40% of Tesla's Profits After Taking Office, According To JPMorgan Analyst

Jan. 1, 2025, marks the first possible birthdate for Generation Beta. It&#8217;s also a unique opportunity for financial advisors to guide new parents through comprehensive long-term planning, especially as Prudential Financial&#8217;s latest research shows that 58% of current and future parents believe Generation Beta<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/retirement"> may never retire.</a>
With 80% of Americans holding that retirement planning should begin at birth, financial advisors should start working with parents and prospective parents of Generation Beta as soon as possible.
The financial landscape these children, and their parents, will navigate differs significantly from previous generations. According to Prudential&#8217;s <a href="https://www.investmentnews.com/industry-news/generation-beta-has-arrived-planning-for-their-financial-future-should-start-now/258752">findings</a>, 86% of respondents anticipate these children will work in yet-to-be-created professions, while increased life expectancy could dramatically alter traditional retirement trajectories.
These shifting dynamics demand that advisors expand their traditional planning approach. While new parents typically focus on immediate concerns like healthcare coverage and life insurance, financial professionals must help them develop more comprehensive strategies. This includes creating flexible investment frameworks that can adapt to evolving career patterns and potentially extended lifespans.

Brandon Goldstein, ChFC, a financial planner with Prudential Financial, emphasizes the importance of immediate action: &#8220;While you can&#8217;t predict the future, you can plan for it from day one.&#8221; This perspective underscores the need for advisors to guide families in reassessing budgets, establishing long-term savings goals, and accounting for rising costs across multiple decades.
The power of early planning becomes evident through Prudential&#8217;s Beta Baby Bonus initiative, which demonstrates how a modest initial investment of $150 &#8211; which the company is giving to any baby born on Jan. 1, 2025 &#8211; could grow to $100,000 over 70 years. This illustrates the crucial role advisors play in helping families understand and harness long-term compound growth.
Financial professionals must proactively address these planning considerations with new parents, ensuring Generation Beta&#8217;s financial future begins with informed, strategic decisions. The challenge lies not just in traditional retirement planning, but in preparing for a fundamentally different financial future that may require new planning paradigms and investment approaches.

New Generation Beta Brings Fresh Financial Planning Challenges, Opportunities

According to a November Quartz article, Tesla is now worth more than GM, Ford, Toyota and almost every other car company combined. Hard to believe, right? Especially when you consider that back in 2013, Tesla was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/09/40815855/elon-musks-76-year-old-mom-couldnt-afford-to-buy-him-coco-puffs-now-hes-the-richest-man-in-the-w">so broke that Elon Musk</a> came close to selling it to Google.
The deal? A tidy $6 billion up-front plus $5 billion for factory expansions. But in true Musk fashion, he pulled the plug at the last second – not out of arrogance but because Tesla's fortunes reversed practically overnight.

</ul>
According to Ashlee Vance's biography Elon Musk: Tesla, SpaceX and the Quest for a Fantastic Future, Tesla's situation in early 2013 was dire. The company had just two weeks of cash left, preorders weren't turning into sales and word-of-mouth for the Model S wasn't great. Customers complained about design flaws like stubborn door handles and ugly seams in sun visors. To make matters worse, some Tesla executives had kept the full scope of the crisis from Musk.
When Musk found out, he fired key senior staff, promoted junior employees he believed had more drive and even called in Jerome Guillen, a Daimler executive, to revamp Tesla's repair centers. Musk then issued a companywide mandate: "If we don't deliver these cars, we are f&#x2A;&#x2A;&#x2A;ed. So I don't care what job you were doing. Your new job is delivering cars."
Even with these drastic measures, Tesla's future looked bleak. Musk shut down the factory temporarily and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/42154628/larry-page-google-co-founder-said-hed-leave-his-fortune-to-elon-musk-over-charity-because-of-his-plans-to-go-to-mars-to-back-up-humanity">approached Larry Page</a>, Google's cofounder, with a lifeline deal.

If They Could Show A Plan For Ending World Hunger He'd Donate $6 Billion – ‘I Will Sell Tesla Stock Right Now And Do It'</a>
Musk and Page, already friends, hashed out terms that would keep Tesla alive. According to Vance, the agreement included several key points:
<ul>
<li>Google would buy Tesla for $6 billion.</li>
<li>It would allocate $5 billion for factory expansions.</li>
<li>Tesla would remain an independent brand and Musk would stay on as CEO for up to eight years or until Tesla launched its third-generation vehicle.</li>
</ul>
The deal seemed nearly finalized, with lawyers drafting the paperwork, but then Tesla's fortunes made a dramatic U-turn.
In Q1 2013, Tesla experienced a sudden surge in Model S sales. This stabilized the company's cash flow and allowed Tesla to post its first quarterly profit of $11 million. The news sent Tesla's stock price soaring, which enabled the company to repay its $465 million loan from the U.S. Department of Energy earlier than expected.
With Tesla's newfound financial health, Musk called off the deal with Google. "He no longer needed a savior," Vance wrote in the book.&nbsp;

Had the deal gone through, Tesla's trajectory – and perhaps Google's – might have looked entirely different. While Google pursued car-related ambitions, including autonomous driving technologies, it's hard to imagine it achieving Tesla's cultural and market dominance.
Fast forward to 2024 and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/11/41866041/if-you-want-a-new-tesla-cybertruck-you-can-get-it-built-and-delivered-in-10-days-thats-not-a-good-thing-for-the-ev-company">Tesla's value has skyrocketed.</a> Its market cap now exceeds $1.35 trillion, with stock prices up over 870% in the past five years. The company is a global leader in electric vehicles and renewable energy. Musk's decision to keep Tesla independent during its darkest days is seen as one of the most pivotal moments in its history.
In hindsight, Google may have missed out on one of the century's most transformative companies, but for Musk, the decision to stay the course solidified Tesla as more than just a car company. It became a movement – one that nearly didn't happen.

Elon Musk Nearly Sold Struggling Tesla To Google For $6 Billion – But When He 'No Longer Needed A Savior,' The Deal Was Called Off

Mark Cuban, billionaire investor and part-owner of the Dallas Mavericks, recently appeared on the Club Shay Shay <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHeh5vH2CGA">podcast</a> to share his advice for NBA players and millionaire athletes on managing wealth. Cuban didn't sugarcoat anything as he talked about bad investments and smarter ways to grow wealth.
His advice was specifically for high-earning athletes or entrepreneurs looking for ways to safeguard their wealth and generate passive income, but it can be applied to anyone. Here are Cuban's top strategies – including why you should steer clear of certain industries and consider alternatives like Dividend Kings and fractional real estate.
Don't Miss:
<ul>
<li>Can you guess how many Americans successfully retire with $1,000,000 saved?<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/1milsaved"> The percentage may shock you</a>.</li>
<li>Deloitte's fastest-growing software company partners with Amazon, Walmart &amp; Target – <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mode-mobile-2">Many are rushing to grab 4,000 of its pre-IPO shares for just $0.26/share!</a></li>
</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why Rap, Restaurants and Liquor Companies are Bad Bets</h2>
Cuban explicitly advises against investing in trendy but risky ventures such as rap labels, restaurants, clothing lines and liquor companies. Here's his reasoning:
<ol>
<li>High failure rates: These industries are notoriously challenging to succeed in due to low barriers to entry and oversaturated markets. Many try but few thrive.</li>
<li>Feelings get in the way: Athletes often invest in these businesses because they love them or feel loyal to someone, but that can lead to poor decisions.</li>
<li>Unreliable returns: Most of these businesses need a lot of attention and rarely make steady money. That's a problem if you're already busy with your career.</li>
</ol>
Instead, Cuban encourages athletes to focus on investments that are low-risk, high-reward and capable of generating steady, passive income over time. &#8220;If I&#8217;m just a two-way player, I&#8217;m living like a student because you don't know how long it's going to last. It's hard when you first get money to understand what it is, how much you have,&#8221; he said.&nbsp;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Dividend Kings: The Gold Standard of Passive Income</h2>
&#8220;You hear about people losing it all, so I tell guys all the time, &#8216;Save your money.&#8217; You know, one broken ankle and it's over,&#8221; Mark shared. So, for those seeking reliable passive income, Cuban would likely approve of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/11/42036427/could-these-three-passive-income-stocks-become-dividend-kings-in-the-near-future">Dividend Kings</a> – stocks from companies with a 50+ year history of increasing dividend payouts. Here's why they're worth it:
<ul>
<li>Stability and growth: Dividend Kings represent established companies with a proven track record of weathering economic storms while increasing payouts.</li>
<li>Passive income: By reinvesting dividends, you can compound your earnings over time or choose to use the payouts as a steady income source.</li>
<li>Long-term security: Big companies like Coca-Cola, Procter &amp; Gamble and Johnson &amp; Johnson are examples. These are solid picks if you want to grow your money over time.</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How to Get Started</h2>
<ol>
<li>Open a brokerage account: Sign up on platforms like <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/fidelity-investments-review">Fidelity</a>, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/vanguard-review">Vanguard</a> or <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/robinhood-review">Robinhood</a> to start buying stocks.</li>
<li>Reinvest dividends: Set up automatic reinvestment to maximize the power of compounding.</li>
<li>Diversify: Avoid putting all your eggs in one basket by building a portfolio across different industries.</li>
</ol>
Trending: Maker of the $60,000 foldable home has 3 factory buildings, 600+ houses built, and big plans to solve housing —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/boxabl"> you can become an investor for $0.80 per share today.</a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Fractional Real Estate: Ownership Without the Headaches</h2>
Not a fan of the stock market? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/fractional-real-estate-investing">Fractional real estate</a> is another way to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-earn-passive-income-in-real-estate-with-1000">earn passive income</a>. This innovative investment model lets you own shares of high-value properties without the responsibilities of full ownership.
<ul>
<li>Accessible ownership: Platforms like <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/fundrise-review">Fundrise</a> and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/roofstock-review">Roofstock</a> allow investors to buy into properties with as little as $100, making it easier for athletes to diversify their portfolios.</li>
<li>Steady cash flow: Many properties earn rental income, which is shared with investors as passive income.</li>
<li>Long-term appreciation: Over time, properties usually increase in value, giving you both rent and profit if you sell.</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How to Get Started</h2>
<ol>
<li>Choose a platform: Research reputable platforms offering fractional real estate investments.</li>
<li>Understand the terms: Look into fees, expected returns and holding periods before committing.</li>
<li>Build a balanced portfolio: Combine fractional real estate with other investment types to reduce risk.</li>
</ol>
Ultimately, Cuban said that if he's making 40-60 million, he's "hiring somebody that knows what they&#8217;re doing, but it ain't going to be one of my friends. Your friend wants to be your friend. My money guy needs to make me money."

'Don't Invest In Rap, Restaurant And Liquor Companies,' Says Mark Cuban. Here's His Advice To NBA Players And Other Millionaire Athletes

Billionaire investor Ray Dalio famously advised investors to increase their holdings in gold, warning of economic shifts.
What Happened: Dalio, who is recognized for his profound knowledge of economic history and market cycles, expressed his concerns about the future of the financial landscape in a 2012 speech.
Dalio believes that the current levels of government and corporate debt are unsustainable, and that aggressive central bank policies are devaluing currencies.
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Slsh8dLPP8">Speaking</a> at the Council on Foreign Relations CEO Speaker Series in 2012, Dalio warned about a significant economic contraction and a restructuring of debt. He warned that the U.S. Treasury might be compelled to issue substantial amounts of debt, potentially exceeding available demand.
This could result in&nbsp;either significantly higher interest rates&nbsp;or extensive money printing by&nbsp;the Federal Reserve, which would further devalue the currency.
In light of these predictions, Dalio recommended a minimum 10-15% allocation to gold in investment portfolios. He sees gold as a vital diversifier and a hedge against currency devaluation and geopolitical uncertainties.

&#8220;If you don&#8217;t own gold, you know neither history nor economics,&#8221; Dalio said, highlighting the metal&#8217;s vital importance in weathering the challenges of an uncertain economic future.
Dalio also warned against overdependence on traditional equity investments, suggesting that diminishing returns could be imminent for those overly invested in stocks and equity-like assets.
Why It Matters: The economic landscape is continually changing, and investors need to adapt their strategies to navigate these shifts successfully. 
Dalio&#8217;s 2012 warnings highlight the potential risks associated with current levels of debt and aggressive central bank policies. His recommendations provide investors with a potential strategy to mitigate these risks, emphasizing the importance of diversification and the role of gold as a hedge against currency devaluation and geopolitical uncertainties.
As such, his insights could play a crucial role in shaping investment strategies in the coming months.

Ray Dalio's Timeless Advice: 'If You Don't Own Gold, You Know Neither History Nor Economics'

Backers of President-elect Donald Trump have donated over $200 million for his inauguration, political activities, and future presidential library.
What Happened:&nbsp;The fundraising efforts have been extraordinary, with donors and corporations aiming&nbsp;to curry favor with Trump as he prepares for his second term. 
This financial backing emerges after numerous business leaders distanced themselves from the President-elect following the Capitol violence incited by his supporters four years ago this week.
Among the donors pledging support&nbsp;for the inaugural events are&nbsp;Pfizer,&nbsp;OpenAI,&nbsp;Amazon, and&nbsp;Meta, in addition to several cryptocurrency firms. The total funds raised for the inaugural committee are anticipated to exceed the record&nbsp;$107 million raised for his&nbsp;2017 inauguration.
According to a report <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/04/us/politics/trump-inaugural-donations.html">by</a> The New York Times, the fundraising surge also benefits a super PAC named Make America Great Again Inc. and its associated nonprofit group. Trump&#8217;s team intends to utilize these funds to bolster his agenda and support candidates who endorse it.
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/42804415/trump-targets-nyc-judges-and-e-jean-carroll-ahead-of-hush-money-case-sentencing">Trump Targets NYC Judges and E. Jean Carroll Ahead of Hush Money Case Sentencing</a>
Trump has proudly touted the fundraising success, asserting that he has&nbsp;raised more than $200 million&nbsp;since the election. His team has frequently emphasized the number of individuals eager to contribute to him following his election victory.
David Tamasi, a lobbyist who&nbsp;has fundraised for Trump, refuted the notion that corporations were donating to evade Trump's ire. However, he conceded that some donors might be attempting to compensate for their previous aloofness from the president-elect.
Why It Matters: This unprecedented fundraising effort underscores the enduring influence of Trump and the willingness of donors and corporations to align themselves with his administration, despite previous controversies. 
The funds raised will not only support the inauguration but also fuel Trump&#8217;s political operations and future presidential library, indicating a long-term investment in his political legacy. 
This development also highlights the role of corporate interests and their potential influence on political agendas.

Trump Supporters Kick in More Than $200 Million for Inauguration and Political Operations

The New Year&#8217;s Day Tesla Cybertruck explosion in Las Vegas has put the spotlight on the data collection capabilities of Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/25/01/42757028/tesla-cybertruck-ignites-outside-trump-international-hotel-in-las-vegas">spurring a discussion on privacy rights</a>.
What Happened: The explosion took place&nbsp;in front of the Trump&nbsp;International Hotel. The data gathered by Tesla played a crucial role in aiding the police to trace the driver&#8217;s movements, thereby establishing that the explosion resulted from explosives in the truck, and not a vehicle malfunction.
However, this incident has prompted concerns about the extent of surveillance by automobile companies. Jodi Daniels, CEO of Red Clover Advisors, questioned the boundaries of such data accessibility, asking, &#8220;Where is the line?&#8221;
According to the report <a href="https://apnews.com/article/tesla-las-vegas-explosion-cybertruck-elon-musk-789dc864a0c138fd7c36ca8c94b0fbfd">by</a> The Associated Press, modern vehicles not only track locations but also have access to sensitive information like contacts, call logs, and texts due to cell phone syncing.
"You might want law enforcement to have the data to crack down on criminals, but can anyone have access to it?" said Daniels.
This extensive data collection has drawn criticism from privacy experts like David Choffnes, Executive Director&nbsp;of the Cybersecurity and Privacy&nbsp;Institute at Northeastern University, who cautioned about potential data misuse by companies.

"It reveals the kind of sweeping surveillance going on. When something bad happens, it's helpful, but it's a double edged sword. Companies that collect this data can abuse it," Choffnes told the outlet. 
Despite the privacy concerns,&nbsp;Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department&nbsp;Sheriff Kevin McMahill expressed appreciation to Elon Musk for the valuable information provided.
"I have to thank Elon Musk, specifically. He gave us quite a bit of additional information," he said. 
Sam Abuelsamid, an auto analyst at Telemetry Insight, voiced concerns over data handling by auto companies, stressing the importance of consumers having control over their data.
While Tesla&#8217;s privacy policy asserts that it adheres to strict rules for maintaining the privacy and security of names and information, the recent incident has ignited a discussion about the necessity for new national laws regulating car data.
Why It Matters: This incident underscores the dual-edged nature of data collection by auto companies. On one hand, it can aid in investigations and enhance safety measures. 
On the other, it raises serious privacy concerns. The debate over data privacy is not new, but incidents like these bring it to the forefront, highlighting the need for clear regulations and consumer control over personal data. 
As technology continues to evolve, so too must the laws that govern its use.

Lucid's Gravity SUV Rolls Out, Elon Musk On Tesla Cybertruck Blast Incident, And More: This Week In Mobility

President Joe Biden&#8216;s outgoing administration has proposed an $8 billion arms deal for Israel, marking one of the largest such deals since the Gaza war erupted in 2023.
What Happened: The proposed arms package encompasses thousands of bombs, missiles, and artillery shells. The deal, which was communicated to congressional officials last Friday, also includes the intended sale of precision munitions and air-to-air missiles.
The proposed sale is timed just weeks before Biden&#8217;s term ends and President-elect Donald Trump returns to office. This is the largest arms deal the U.S. government has proposed for Israel since the $20 billion weapons package approved earlier in August. The weapons are slated to start reaching Israel by 2025, <a href="https://www.wsj.com/politics/national-security/u-s-plans-8-billion-sale-of-arms-including-bombs-to-israel-6f184397?mod=hp_lead_pos1">reports</a> The Wall Street Journal.
Despite the strategic importance of the deal, it might face resistance from Democrats who have previously voiced concerns over the civilian casualties in the Gaza war. 
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41703497/iran-flexes-nuclear-muscle-threatens-us-with-tooth-breaking-retaliation">Iran Flexes Nuclear Muscle, Threatens US With &#8216;Tooth-Breaking&#8217; Retaliation</a>
The Biden administration has been under pressure to limit weapons sales to Israel to decrease civilian deaths and exert pressure on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to agree to a cease-fire.
For the proposed sale to proceed, it still needs the green light from Congress. An&nbsp;administration official familiar with the&nbsp;deal stated, &#8220;We&nbsp;will continue to provide the&nbsp;capabilities necessary for Israel&#8217;s defense.&#8221;
Why It Matters: The proposed arms deal underscores the U.S.&#8217;s ongoing commitment to Israel&#8217;s defense, even amid international concerns over the Gaza conflict. 
The approval of this deal could significantly bolster Israel&#8217;s military capabilities, potentially altering the dynamics of the ongoing conflict. 
However, the deal&#8217;s potential impact on civilian casualties and the wider Middle East peace process will likely be a key consideration for Congress as it decides whether to approve the sale.

Rigetti Computing, VEON And Intuitive Machines Are Among Top Mid-Cap Gainers Last Week (Dec 30-Jan 3): Are The Others In Your Portfolio?

A recent forecast by Galaxy Research concludes that Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>) will reach a significant milestone in 2025. The cryptocurrency is expected to surge by over 170% from its current value.
What Happened: Galaxy Research&#8217;s Alex Thorn predicts that Dogecoin, the world&#8217;s largest and oldest memecoin, will hit $1&nbsp;for the first time in&nbsp;its history. 
&#8220;Dogecoin&nbsp;will finally hit $1, with&nbsp;the world&#8217;s&nbsp;largest and oldest memecoin touching&nbsp;a $100 billion market cap,&#8221; Thorn stated in a post on X.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">Dogecoin will finally hit $1, with the world's largest and oldest memecoin touching a $100bn market cap. However, the Dogecoin market cap will be eclipsed by the Department of Government Efficiency, which will identify and successfully enact cuts in amounts exceeding Dogecoin's… <a href="https://t.co/xcwRHhpMTn">pic.twitter.com/xcwRHhpMTn</a>
&mdash; Galaxy (@galaxyhq) <a href="https://twitter.com/galaxyhq/status/1874843548585005177?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 2, 2025</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
At the time of the report, DOGE was trading at $0.37, marking an 11.7% increase&nbsp;in the last 24 hours.&nbsp;With a market cap of&nbsp;$55.47 billion, DOGE ranks as the seventh-largest crypto project.
On a related note, Charles Yu, another analyst at Galaxy Research, anticipates a decrease in market dominance by Tether&#8217;s stablecoin USDT. Yu expects other stablecoins, such as Circle's USDC, to&nbsp;gain more market share due&nbsp;to their attractive yields. 
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/08/40429878/dogecoins-active-users-on-the-rise-will-this-impact-doge-price">Dogecoin&#8217;s Active Users On The Rise, Will This Impact DOGE Price?</a>
He suggests that the revenue from USDT reserves will be used to fund portfolio investments and marketing spend by stablecoin issuers, leading to a shift away from Tether and towards yield-bearing solutions.
Why It Matters: The predicted surge in Dogecoin&#8217;s value signifies a potential shift in the cryptocurrency market. If Dogecoin reaches the $1 mark, it could influence the dynamics of the cryptocurrency market, possibly leading to increased interest and investment in memecoins. 
Additionally, the forecasted decrease in Tether&#8217;s market dominance could lead to a more diversified stablecoin market, with other stablecoins like Circle's USDC gaining more traction due to their attractive yields. 
This could potentially reshape the stablecoin landscape, with more investors turning towards yield-bearing solutions.

Bitcoin Could Reach $1 Million, Says Arthur Hayes

Elon Musk&#8217;s Influence on Dogecoin

As we step into the new year, the tech world continues to be abuzz with artificial intelligence (AI) developments. From&nbsp;Microsoft Corp.

This move comes in the wake of the launch of ChatGPT by OpenAI in 2022, which has spurred companies to integrate AI into their offerings. The increasing demand for AI&#8217;s computing power necessitates specialized data centers, allowing tech firms to connect thousands of chips in clusters.

Microsoft's $80 Billion Investment Outlay, Musk's Battle With OpenAI, And Nvidia's Billion-Dollar Bet: This Week In Artificial Intelligence

Esteemed investor Peter Lynch, celebrated for his extraordinary 13-year tenure managing the Fidelity Magellan fund has shared his investment insights and views on the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/stock-split/24/12/42635790/investment-guru-peter-lynch-often-great-investments-are-the-ones-where-everyone-else-will-think-you-are-crazy">evolving stock market landscape</a>.
What Happened:&nbsp;Lynch, whose impressive&nbsp;29% annualized return from 1977&nbsp;to 1990 still stands, discussed his investment tactics and the transformation of the stock market. He stressed the significance of investing in sectors and companies that investors are familiar with, advising, &#8220;Invest in what you know.&#8221;
Lynch&#8217;s successful career has had a profound impact on American investment practices, with 55% of Americans now holding stocks, either directly or through retirement accounts and mutual funds. 
Despite the significant shifts in the investment world since Lynch&#8217;s era at Magellan, his legacy endures. He continues to guide stock analysts at&nbsp;Fidelity, the prominent investment firm based in Boston.
However, Lynch recognized the hurdles confronting today&#8217;s investors. With over 5,000 stock indexes&nbsp;and thousands of passive funds&nbsp;based on these, he pondered whether stock pickers can still offer unique insights into large corporations.
According to a report <a href="https://www.barrons.com/amp/articles/master-stockpicker-peter-lynch-if-you-only-invest-in-an-index-youll-never-beat-it-51576874071">by</a> Barron&#8217;s, Lynch maintains a positive outlook on the U.S. stock market, encouraging investors to purchase stocks irrespective of market conditions. He also underscored the importance of company fundamentals, such as earnings growth, inventory growth rates, and debt-to-equity ratios.

Lynch says that, &#8220;if you invest only in an index, you'll never beat it. If you buy today's widespread notion that stock market returns will be generally lower in the future, brushing up on your stock-picking skills is wise.&#8221;
Despite his numerous triumphs, Lynch also confessed to making errors, notably in the technology sector. However, he is of the view that these mistakes have been counterbalanced by his profitable investments.
Why It Matters:&nbsp;Lynch&#8217;s advice to &#8220;invest in what you know&#8221; underscores the importance of familiarity and understanding in investment decisions. 
His successful career and enduring influence on American investment habits highlight the potential benefits of this approach. However, the evolving investment landscape, with its increasing complexity and the rise of passive funds, poses new challenges for investors. 
Lynch&#8217;s insights provide valuable guidance for navigating these challenges, emphasizing the importance of company fundamentals and a positive, long-term outlook.

Investment Guru Peter Lynch: 'If You Invest Only in an Index, You'll Never Beat It. Brushing Up on Stock-Picking Skills Is Wise'

The past week was a rollercoaster ride for&nbsp;Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>). From leaks about the iPhone 17&#8217;s display upgrade to CEO Tim Cook&#8217;s hefty donation to Trump&#8217;s inauguration, the tech giant was in the limelight for various reasons. China&#8217;s decision to subsidize smartphones could pose a new challenge, while the halt of iPhone 14 and iPhone SE sales in the EU raised eyebrows. However, a bullish prediction for Apple&#8217;s stock offered a silver lining. Let&#8217;s delve into these stories.
iPhone 17 Display Upgrade
A new leak suggests that Apple is set to enhance the display technology in its upcoming iPhone 17 series. The Weibo-based Chinese leaker, Digital Chat Station, stated that supply chain materials support the rumors of a higher refresh rate for the standard iPhone 17. While the exact refresh rate wasn&#8217;t specified, earlier reports hint at a 120Hz ProMotion rate, previously exclusive to Pro models, being implemented.

Tim Cook&#8217;s $1 Million Donation
Apple CEO Tim Cook reportedly donated $1 million to President-elect Donald Trump's inaugural committee, joining the ranks of other major tech leaders like Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, and Sam Altman. Cook&#8217;s donation follows several meetings between him and Trump during the latter&#8217;s first term and a recent dinner at Mar-a-Lago. Cook views the inauguration as an important American tradition and is contributing to the spirit of unity.

China&#8217;s Smartphone Subsidies
China is extending consumption subsidies to include smartphones and other electronics, potentially giving companies like Huawei an upper hand. The national trade-in program, which currently covers home appliances and vehicles, will now extend to personal devices such as phones, tablets, and smartwatches. This announcement was made during a briefing on Friday.

Apple Halts Sales in EU
Apple has stopped selling its iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus, and third-generation iPhone SE models across most European Union countries. This decision is a response to new EU regulations requiring USB-C ports for smartphones with wired charging capabilities. The affected iPhone models have been removed from Apple's online store in several countries.

Bullish Prediction for Apple Stock
Wedbush analyst Dan Ives predicts a 26% upside for Apple stock, foreseeing a &#8220;golden era of growth&#8221; for Cupertino with an AI-driven iPhone upgrade cycle. Ives believes that Apple&#8217;s iPhone sales could witness a boost thanks to AI and has raised the price target on Apple to $325.

iPhone 17 Leak, Tim Cook's Donation To Trump Inauguration, And China's Subsidies To Homegrown Players: This Week In Appleverse

Businessman and author of &#8216;Rich Dad, Poor Dad&#8217; Robert Kiyosaki has predicted a colossal market crash and advised investing in gold, silver, and Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), criticizing the financial authorities for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40147003/rich-dad-poor-dad-author-robert-kiyosaki-sees-wealth-accumulation-in-market-declines-markets-are-cra">their money printing policies.</a>
What Happened: On Saturday, Kiyosaki took X to express his views on the current economic situation. He predicted a &#8220;GIANT MARKET CRASH&#8221; and questioned the policies of the Federal Reserve, the Treasury, Banks, and Wall Street.

&#8220;GIANT MARKET CRASH here. Q: How can I be so bullish on gold, silver, and Bitcoin? A: Because the idiots running the Fed, Treasury, Banks, and Wall Street only know how to print money, which makes things worse. FYI: When fake money is printed the rich, who own real assets get richer…. while the poor and middle class, who save fake money, get poorer due to inflation and taxes. Let inflation make you richer, not poorer. Save gold, silver, and Bitcoin. Take care. Crash is here,&#8221; Kiyosaki wrote in the post.

He criticized these institutions for their excessive money printing, which he believes exacerbates economic issues. Kiyosaki argued that this practice benefits the wealthy, who possess tangible assets, while harming the poor and middle class, who save &#8220;fake money.&#8221;
Why It Matters:&nbsp;Kiyosaki&#8217;s comments reflect his long-standing criticism of traditional financial institutions and their policies. He has consistently advocated for financial education and investment in tangible assets like gold, silver, and cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin.
His tweet underscores his belief that these assets can provide a hedge against inflation and the devaluation of fiat currencies, a view shared by many in the cryptocurrency community. Kiyosaki&#8217;s advice to &#8220;Let inflation make you richer,&nbsp;not poorer&#8221; resonates with his followers, who value his insights on financial matters.
As the market navigates uncertain times, Kiyosaki&#8217;s words serve as a reminder of the importance of financial literacy and the potential benefits of diversifying one&#8217;s investment portfolio.

Sanders Backs Trump's Credit Cap, Carter's Passing, Trump's Response To NOLA Attack And More: This Week In Politics

In a recent post on Truth Social, President-elect Donald Trump criticized the Manhattan judge who presided over his criminal trial and writer E. Jean Carroll.
What Happened: On Saturday, Trump took to the social media <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/113770089280713901">platform</a> to express his dissatisfaction with Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan, whom he labeled as &#8220;corrupt&#8221;.
Trump was convicted in May&nbsp;on&nbsp;34 felony counts of falsifying&nbsp;business records related to payments to Stormy Daniels. He denounced the charges as &#8220;fake&#8221; and &#8220;made up&#8221;.
Additionally, Trump criticized&nbsp;Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Arthur&nbsp;F. Engoron, who presided over his civil fraud trial. Trump was&nbsp;ordered to pay half a&nbsp;billion dollars in fines in this case, which is currently under appeal. He accused Engoron of undervaluing his Mar-a-Lago property in Palm Beach, Florida.
&#8220;I never falsified business records. It is a fake, made up charge by a corrupt judge who is just doing the work of the Biden/Harris Injustice Department, an attack on their political opponent, ME! He created a case where there was none. Keeps a "gag order" on me so that I can't talk about how crooked he is. The Fake News knows all about it, but they refuse to talk,&#8221; Trump wrote. 
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/01/36814846/trumps-niece-says-verdict-in-e-jean-carroll-defamation-trial-is-one-of-the-worst-days-in-his-life-do">Trump&#8217;s Niece Says Verdict In E. Jean Carroll Defamation Trial &#8216;Is One Of The Worst Days&#8217; In His Life: &#8216;Donald Is Finally Facing The Consequences&#8217;</a>
&#8220;He may be the most conflicted judge in New York State history. The accountant testified, with total corroboration, that the records were perfect &amp; totally above board. A legal expense was called, on the books, a legal expense. There was nothing else it could have been called. This was the so-called falsifying of records. I was hiding nothing, everything was out in the open for all to see. Every legal scholar of note said there IS NO CASE AGAINST ME,&#8221; Trump added in his post. 
In the same post, Trump referred to E. Jean Carroll as &#8220;the woman I never met&#8221;. Carroll&nbsp;was awarded nearly $100 million&nbsp;in damages after accusing Trump&nbsp;of sexual assault, a claim he has consistently denied.
&#8220;And then we have, also in New York, the woman I never met (celebrity photo lines from 30 years ago don't count!), who was awarded almost $100,000,000. A totally out of control, Trump hating judge, presided. The Biden/Harris DOJ was involved, directly or indirectly, in each of these cases. I won against Deranged Jack Smith!&#8221; Trump wrote in the Truth Social post. 
Why It Matters: This recent outburst from Trump on Truth Social marks another chapter in his ongoing legal battles. His criticism of the judges and Carroll comes at a time when he is facing significant legal challenges, including a criminal conviction and a hefty fine in a civil fraud case. 
His comments also highlight his continued denial of the sexual assault allegations made by Carroll. This situation underscores the tension between Trump and the judicial system, as well as his contentious relationship with his accusers.
