President Joe Biden shared his farewell letter that highlighted overcoming a pandemic and "the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression," as he nears his White House exit <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/42995328/trump-inauguration-from-elon-musk-jeff-bezos-to-barack-obama-george-bush-and-bill-clinton-who-all-will-attend">on Jan. 20.</a>
Biden Bids Farewell: Biden wrote, "It has been the privilege of my life to serve this nation" in his farewell letter, echoing similar thoughts when he announced<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/07/39874057/biden-drops-out-of-2024-race-in-bombshell-announcement-it-has-been-the-greatest-honor-of-my-life"> his surprising exit</a> from the 2024 presidential election.
"Four years ago, we stood in a winter of peril and winter of possibilities. We were in the grip of the worst pandemic in a century, the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression, and the worst attack on our democracy since the Civil War," Biden said in the <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2025/01/15/the-biden-harris-administration-record/">letter</a>.
The president said the country came together and "emerged stronger, more prosperous, and more secure."
Biden highlights the current state of the American economy, calling it the strongest in the world. The president also highlights a record 16.6 million new jobs created.
"Wages are up. Inflation continues to come down."
Manufacturing, science, semiconductors and health care were industries highlighted in the farewell letter, showing American prosperity.
"America is an idea stronger than any army and larger than any ocean. It's the most powerful idea in the history of the world." &nbsp;
Biden's farewell letter was accompanied by a list of accomplishments and progress made over the last four years by the president and Vice President Kamala Harris.
"I have given my heart and my soul to our nation. And I have been blessed a million times in return with the love and support of the American people."

 What's Next: Biden will leave the White House on Monday, Jan. 20 as President-elect Donald Trump is sworn in during an inauguration ceremony and welcomed back to the presidential role.
Trump defeated Harris in the 2024 election after the vice president became the Democratic candidate following Biden's exit from the race.
While he will no longer be president, Biden called for Americans to continue his progress in his letter.
"I hope you'll do your part to build on the progress we've made," Biden said.
Biden, who is expected to be present at Trump's inauguration, said Americans should "keep the faith."
"History is in your hands. The power is in your hands. The idea of America is in your hands."
Trump has been critical in recent weeks on executive orders and moves Biden has made ahead of his White House exit, <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/113782593946571268">saying </a>he was making "the transition as difficult as possible."
Former presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama are also expected to attend Trump's inauguration, marking another moment for five former presidents to be together at one event following the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/25/01/42901026/jimmy-carters-funeral-5-living-presidents-attend-family-colleagues-share-warm-humorous-stories">funeral for former</a> President Jimmy Carter.
Biden's exit comes as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/politics/25/01/42991885/joe-bidens-approval-rating-hits-37-ahead-of-white-house-exit-poll-finds-president-made-progress-in-1-of-18-areas">a new poll found</a> that his approval rating declined during his four years in the White House and a progress report showed Americans believe many areas of the country got worse over the last four years.

Biden Bids Farewell To White House In Letter: 'The Privilege Of My Life To Serve This Nation'

On Tuesday, Teucrium added the Relative Strength Managed Volatility Strategy ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RSMV#NYSE">RSMV</a>) to its ETF lineup, bringing Teucrium's U.S.-listed ETF tally to nine. This <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">actively managed fund</a> targets long-term capital appreciation for investors while managing risk in volatile markets.
The ETF invests in U.S. growth companies, mainly large-cap stocks with market caps exceeding $10 billion. The portfolio includes 20-50 securities. The ETF keeps the allocation dynamic, meaning during periods of heightened market volatility, it may allocate assets to fixed-income securities, cash, or cash equivalents as a defense.
Top holdings of this fund include United Health (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNH#NYSE">UNH</a>), JP Morgan Chase (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>) and Exxon Mobil Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>).
The fund evaluates macroeconomic conditions and allocates sector weights via a top-down approach. On the other hand, it adopts a bottom-up strategy to pick out individual securities. The fund keeps itself flexible to invest in other ETFs or REITs to improve growth prospects.
The Relative Strength Managed Volatility Strategy ETF has a net expense ratio of 0.95%, which is reasonable considering its active management strategy and risk management features.
The fund&#8217;s active management provides both offensive and defensive benefits. The fund has the advantage of benefiting from momentum-driven market trends and high-growth opportunities. Meanwhile, it can also reduce downside risks during volatile times by allocating to Treasuries and high-quality bonds.

(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NXPI#NASDAQ">NXPI</a>) shares are trading higher on Wednesday after it secured a 1 billion euros (around $1 billion) loan from the European Investment Bank (EIB) to bolster its RDI <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/01/g43002253/nxp-secures-1-billion-eib-loan-to-advance-semiconductor-innovation-in-europe" rel="noreferrer noopener">investments across its semiconductor portfolio</a>.
The six-year loan, with an approximate interest rate of 4.75% for dollar-denominated tranches, will fund research and development activities at NXP&#8217;s facilities in Austria, France, Germany, the Netherlands, and Romania through 2026.
The financing supports the EIB&#8217;s newly launched &#8220;Strategic Tech-EU&#8221; program aimed at accelerating innovation in key sectors like AI, microchips, life sciences, and quantum computing.
The investment will help establish a state-of-the-art European chip ecosystem aligned with the EU Chips Act, the Dutch Semicon Valley initiative, and the Netherlands&#8217; National Technology Strategy.
In addition to advancing R&amp;D in power electronics, microprocessors, and microcontrollers, NXP will prioritize improving the energy efficiency of its devices.
Maarten Dirkzwager, Executive Vice President and Chief Strategy Officer at NXP, said, &#8220;This loan complements the various existing instruments supporting our industry, such as the Important Projects of Common European Interest (IPCEI) and other initiatives currently being set up by the European Commission and the Member States.&#8221;
&#8220;It is also consistent with our investment in the ESMC joint venture fab currently being built in Germany, which will address Europe&#8217;s automotive and industrial chip requirements.&#8221;
Investors can gain exposure to the stock via&nbsp;iShares MSCI Water Management Multisector ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IWTR#NASDAQ">IWTR</a>) and Fidelity Electric Vehicles and Future Transportation ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FDRV#BATS">FDRV</a>).

NXP Semiconductors Secures $1 Billion European Investment Bank Loan For R&D Expansion: Details

Arqit Quantum Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARQQ#NASDAQ">ARQQ</a>) shares surged 20.2% to $21.07 during Wednesday&#8217;s session amid a rally in quantum computing-related stocks.
Wednesday&#8217;s uptick follows Microsoft&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/01/42998134/qubt-qbts-up-12-rgti-gains-3-in-wednesday-premarket-quantum-computing-stocks-gain-momentum-after-microsoft-says-we-are-right-on-the-cusp-of-seeing-quantum-computers-solve-meaningful-problems">announcement</a> of plans to prepare businesses for the quantum era by 2025 and NVIDIA&#8217;s inaugural <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/43001201/nvidia-announces-first-ever-quantum-day-at-gtc-2025-days-after-jensen-huang-said-quantum-computing-is-20-years-away">Quantum Day</a>, which highlighted advancements in the field.
What Else: Arqit Quantum specializes in quantum-safe encryption solutions through its QuantumCloud platform, providing encryption keys secure against both classical and quantum cyber threats. This could position Arqit to meet growing cybersecurity demands as quantum technology evolves.
High-profile events and commentary from Microsoft and NVIDIA have reignited investor confidence in the sector for Wednesday&#8217;s session, with Arqit seen as a potential leader in addressing quantum-era challenges. 
Recent investor optimism in quantum computing-related stocks could also suggest rising demand for solutions that safeguard sensitive data in an increasingly quantum-enabled future.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy ARQQ 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 Arqit Quantum&#8217;s case, it is in the Information Technology 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>, ARQQ has a 52-week high of $52.79 and a 52-week low of $3.72.

GE Aerospace is the remaining core business of the company formed in 1892 with historical ties to American inventor Thomas Edison; that company became a storied conglomerate with peak revenue of $130 billion in 2000. GE spun off its appliance, finance, healthcare, and wind and power businesses between 2016 and 2024.

GE Aero Options Trading: A Deep Dive into Market Sentiment

Elon Musk, billionaire entrepreneur and one of the most influential voices in tech, has been tapped to lead the "Department of Government Efficiency" (DOGE), an initiative announced by President-elect Donald Trump. Musk, who reportedly invested over $200 million to support Trump's reelection, has made it clear that his mission is to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42140065/with-musk-and-ramaswamy-preparing-to-slash-entire-government-agencies-heres-which-departments-employ-the-most-americans-and-their-salaries">drastically streamline the federal government</a> by eliminating redundancy and cutting waste.
Musk's criticisms of the federal government's inefficiencies have been widely shared, including during an interview with TCN, which he reposted on X on Jan. 6, 2025. In the clip, Musk questioned the overwhelming size of the federal bureaucracy, asking, "Do we really need, whatever it is, 428 federal agencies?" He went on to say, "There are so many [agencies] that people have never even heard of and that have overlapping areas of responsibility."

</ul>
Proposing a dramatic reduction, Musk has called for cutting the number of federal agencies down to just 99, which he argued is "more than enough." He elaborated, "We should have fewer agencies and they certainly shouldn't have overlapping responsibilities."
While Musk didn't name specific agencies in his remarks, it's worth noting that many federal entities <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/01/42897257/hello-wake-up-elon-musk-warns-joe-rogan-america-is-toast-and-says-there-wont-be-money-for-anything-unless-the-country-takes-ac">operate outside the public eye</a>, which underscores his argument about government complexity. Here are some examples of lesser-known federal agencies that highlight the vastness of the bureaucracy:
National Underwater Reconnaissance Office (NURO): A secretive agency that conducts underwater espionage and retrieves sunken foreign vessels.
Special Collection Service: A joint CIA-NSA unit operating covertly to gather intelligence.
Office of Navajo and Hopi Indian Relocation: An agency dealing with tribal land disputes.
AbilityOne Commission: Focused on creating job opportunities for people with disabilities in federal manufacturing and service roles.
Christopher Columbus Fellowship Foundation: A little-known organization that likely deals with historical education or commemoration.
National Mediation Board: Dedicated to labor-management relations in the railroad and airline industries.

These agencies – and many others like them – reflect how federal operations extend into niche areas that often overlap or duplicate efforts elsewhere.
Musk also highlighted that the number of federal agencies has grown excessively, with "more federal agencies than there are years since the establishment of the United States." He described this as "a lot" and "crazy," signaling his belief that the government has reached an unsustainable level of complexity.&nbsp;
He also proposed a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/10/41458425/release-elon-musk-on-the-federal-government-kevin-oleary-backs-musks-cost-cutting-power">comprehensive review of federal regulations</a>, stating, "We need a review of regulations to say which ones are sensible and which ones are not." He explained that each year regulators add more rules, calling it "automatic." With more laws in play, he argued, "basically everything is legal so we can't get anything done. We need some kind of garbage collection for regulations that don't make sense."

While the proposal to reduce federal agencies is bold, it's not without controversy. Implementing such dramatic cuts would face significant legal, political and logistical challenges.&nbsp;
Public opinion on federal agencies is mixed. For instance, a 2024 Pew Research Center survey found that Americans generally view many federal agencies favorably, with most receiving more positive than negative ratings. Critics argue that reducing the number of agencies could disrupt essential services, particularly in areas like veterans' affairs or housing, where federal support is critical.
Whether the DOGE initiative succeeds or faces pushback, it represents a significant push to challenge the status quo in Washington. Musk's direct, no-nonsense style has brought attention to an issue that many Americans have long questioned: is the federal government too big to function efficiently? The answer, according to Musk, is a resounding yes.

Elon Musk Asks 'Do We Really Need 428 Federal Agencies?' – Points Out There Are 'So Many People Have Never Heard Of' And They Do The Same Thing

BMO Capital analyst Brian Pitz maintained Netflix Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) with an Outperform and raised the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/NFLX/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">price target from&nbsp;$825&nbsp;to&nbsp;$1000</a>.
Netflix has 70 million advertising-based video-on-demand (AVOD) monthly active users (MAUs) (versus 40 million in May).
Pitz estimates Netflix will have 90 million AVOD monthly active users by the end of 2025. 
AVOD monetization is gaining traction among Brand advertisers, with SMBs to come given revamped programmatic capabilities.

Given this backdrop, Pitz estimated 4.5 ads per hour, rising to 5 in 2026E, which could prove conservative.
WWE on Netflix <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/01/42827316/netflix-brings-wwe-monday-night-raw-to-streaming-starting-january-6" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">began on Jan. 6</a> and should result in significant engagement improvement compared to Peacock (Pitz estimates 2-3 times engagement improvement).
Pricing remains an optionality for both Standard and Premium tiers in 2025.
Pitz raised her end-2025E AVOD users to 90 million (versus 70 million MAU in the fourth quarter of 2024E) from 60 million following successful live events in the fourth quarter of 2024E and the beginning of WWE in the first quarter of 2025E with upside potential from Women&#8217;s World Cup Soccer in 2027 and unannounced content.
With ~180 billion hours viewed (2 hours per user per day), Pitz estimated Netflix would exit 2025E with just 4.5 ads per hour per member.
Pitz channel checks indicate that AVOD monetization is gaining traction.
Content initiatives are producing massive viewership. For example, Squid Games 2 debuted with 68 million views in one week, while Tyson/Paul generated 108 million live viewers and an estimated 125 million (live+1). The inaugural Raw episode attracted a 116% increase in U.S. viewers versus 2024E audience levels. 
Pitz expects the Women&#8217;s World Cup to be a hit, which ensures attractive ROAS across multiple verticals. Netflix Standard and YouTube Premium pricing have been in line for nearly 10 years, while YouTube TV and Netflix Premium remain 2-7 times below Cable TV pricing.
CTV pricing levers should continue for several years.
Pitz&#8217;s 2025E revenue is mainly unchanged at 12% growth (guidance is 11-13%). The analyst modeled 2026E revenue of $48.7 billion and ~30% operating income margins.
Price Action: NFLX stock is up 2.15% at $846.22 at last check Wednesday.

LRE (Leeward Renewable Energy), a leading American renewable energy company, today announced over 700-megawatt alternating current (MWac) of renewable energy projects in Oklahoma that are supported in part by long-term power purchase agreements (PPAs) with Google.
These projects are strategically sited to support Google's data center operations and leadership in artificial intelligence (AI). They will bolster the reliability of Oklahoma's electric grid by adding renewable capacity that improves stability and diversifies the energy mix, while also supporting national energy independence. This collaboration reinforces LRE's commitment to delivering innovative solutions that address the evolving energy needs of its partners and the communities where its projects are based.
Construction has begun on the 372-MWac Mayes County Solar Portfolio, located just within one mile from Google's data center in Pryor, Oklahoma. Together with the Twelvemile Solar Project 1 &amp; 2 (152.5 MWac) and the Twelvemile 3 Solar Project (200 MWac), located in Southern Oklahoma, these projects total 724 MWac of solar capacity in Oklahoma.
LRE purchased the Mayes County Solar Portfolio earlier this year from Red River Renewable Energy, LLC ("Red River"), a joint venture between SunChase Power, LLC ("SunChase") and Eolian, L.P. The energy generated by the solar portfolio is delivered under firm transmission service to the Grand River Dam Authority ("GRDA"). GRDA plans to utilize the clean energy produced by the projects to support operations at Google's data center.
The Mayes County Solar Portfolio consists of three solar projects: Salt Branch Solar (145 MWac), Huckleberry Solar (125 MWac), and Mayes Solar (102 MWac). The projects will generate substantial economic investment in the community, creating over 300 construction jobs and contributing an estimated $76 million in tax revenue to Mayes County over their lifespan. This funding will support vital county initiatives and schools. Additionally, over $60,000 has been donated to the local Red Cross, the Chamber of Commerce, and other essential services, further strengthening community resources.
The power purchase agreements were facilitated through LEAP&#x2122; (<a href="https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.leveltenenergy.com%2Fpost%2Flevelten-energys-accelerated-process-tm-leap-tm-now-widely-available%23%3A%7E%3Atext%3DBy%2520combining%2520the%2520RFP%2520and%2Ca%2520wide%2520range%2520of%2520technologies.&amp;esheet=54180385&amp;newsitemid=20250115123798&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=LevelTen+Energy%26%238217%3Bs+Accelerated+Process%29&amp;index=1&amp;md5=8bc1a1af5423f333a40c37f70a9e0a24">LevelTen Energy's Accelerated Process)</a>, which was <a href="https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fcloud.google.com%2Fblog%2Ftopics%2Fsustainability%2Fa-new-approach-to-clean-energy-power-purchasing-agreements%3Fe%3D0&amp;esheet=54180385&amp;newsitemid=20250115123798&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=co-developed&amp;index=2&amp;md5=3b7e548b91177da6b178bb0fc08e8a34">co-developed</a> by Google and LevelTen Energy to make sourcing and executing clean energy PPAs more efficient, and contribute to Google's ambitious 2030 <a href="https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fsustainability.google%2Fprogress%2Fenergy%2F&amp;esheet=54180385&amp;newsitemid=20250115123798&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=goal&amp;index=3&amp;md5=bd9e05a205bfee14edba006b9403cac0">goal</a> to run on 24/7 carbon-free energy (CFE) on every grid where it operates.

Elon Musk criticized the SEC after being sued for allegedly failing to disclose a substantial stake in X (formerly known as Twitter) before his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42993322/elon-musk-faces-sec-lawsuit-for-allegedly-hiding-twitter-stake-allowing-him-to-buy-shares-at-artificially-low-prices">acquisition of the platform</a>.
What Happened: Elon Musk <a href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1879322286291054653?s=46">called</a> the SEC on Wednesday on X a &#8220;totally broken organization&#8221; that is focusing on trivial cases and ignoring many genuine crimes that go unpunished.
The SEC alleged Musk&#8217;s omission to disclose his stake in Twitter allowed him to acquire the company at an artificially low price.
Dogecoin co-founder Billy Markus, known pseudonymously as Shibetoshi Nakamoto, mocked the SEC&#8217;s argument, pointing out that Musk paid $44 billion for Twitter, a price far above analysts&#8217; valuation of $30 billion.
Chief economist and global strategist Peter Schiff echoed Musk&#8217;s sentiment. 
Schiff <a href="https://x.com/PeterSchiff/status/1879538895958028478">noted</a> that the SEC accused Musk of costing X shareholders $150 million due to a delayed ownership disclosure but argued that Musk ultimately generated billions for shareholders. 
Schiff questioned what the SEC has done to genuinely benefit investors.

Why It Matters: Musk has faced increasing scrutiny from the SEC, particularly over his 2022 Twitter buyout. 
His legal team has accused the agency of engaging in &#8220;years of harassment.&#8221;
In October 2024, the SEC escalated its stance by rejecting Musk&#8217;s settlement offer related to missed deposition obligations, opting instead to seek sanctions.
With Donald Trump's inauguration next week, Musk's role in the proposed Department of Government Efficiency (D.O.G.E.) could also draw attention. 
The advisory commission aims to optimize resource use within government agencies.
