Editor&#8217;s Note: This article has been updated to reflect that Pershing Square converted its Nike stock into call options, maintaining exposure
Bill Ackman could have a new love for the automotive sector with a new investment made in the first quarter and an added position to a stake from the fourth quarter of 2024 that was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44878275/billionare-investor-bill-ackman-posts-hertz-investment-thesis-proposes-av-fleet-partnership-with-uber">revealed in April.</a>
Here's a look at Ackman's investment holdings in Pershing Square as of March 31.
First Quarter Changes: Ackman and Pershing Square unveiled a new stake in Uber Technologies (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBER#NYSE">UBER</a>) in the first quarter with a position of more than 30 million shares. The stake is now the largest holding the Pershing Square portfolio and comes with the investor making several recent moves to his investment strategy.
Ackman increased his stake in Hertz Global Holdings (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HTZ#NASDAQ">HTZ</a>) in the first quarter with the <a href="https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1336528/000117266125002315/0001172661-25-002315-index.html">filing </a>showing an 18% increase.
Ackman's stake in Hertz was unveiled via a tweet and an updated SEC filing in April. A 12.7 million share purchase was originally kept from the fourth-quarter holdings document due to a request for confidentiality.
Here were the other increased stakes in the quarter:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Brookfield Corporation: +18%</li>
<li>Alphabet Inc Class A (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>): +11%</li>
</ul>
Pershing Square lowered its investments in the following stocks in the first quarter:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Hilton Worldwide Holdings (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HLT#NYSE">HLT</a>): -45%</li>
<li>Google Class C (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>): -16%</li>
<li>Chipotle Mexican Grill (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMG#NYSE">CMG</a>): -13%</li>
<li>Canadian Pacific (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CP#NYSE">CP</a>): decreased by less than 1%</li>
</ul>
One notable move in the quarter was Pershing Square&#8217;s conversion of its 18.8 million Nike shares into over-the-counter call options, maintaining a similar economic exposure.

Ackman's Top Holdings: The newest 13F filing shows 11 stocks owned by Ackman and Pershing Square. Here are the current holdings and their percentage of the investment fund:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Uber: 19%</li>
<li>Brookfield: 18%</li>
<li>Restaurant Brands International (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QSR#NYSE">QSR</a>): 13%</li>
<li>Howard Hughes Holdings (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HHH#NYSE">HHH</a>): 12%</li>
<li>Chipotle: 9.1%</li>
<li>Canadian Pacific: 8.7%</li>
<li>Alphabet Class C: 8.3%</li>
<li>Alphabet Class A: 5.8%</li>
<li>Hilton: 5.7%</li>
<li>Seaport Entertainment Group (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SEG#NYSE">SEG</a>): 0.9%</li>
<li>Hertz: 0.5%</li>
</ul>
The latest 13F filing comes as Ackman is trying to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45401638/howard-hughes-rises-nearly-3-in-pre-market-as-bill-ackman-exits-from-universal-music-groups-board-to-prioritize-new-investments">buy control of </a>Howard Hughes and turn it into a diversified holding company to copy the conglomerate style of legendary investor Warren Buffett.

Analyst Notes:&nbsp;&#8220;Bitcoin has seen some resistance over the past week, being challenged to grow past the $104K to $105K level,&#8221; a crypto market intelligence platform, Santiment, noted on Thursday. &#8220;This temporary &#8216;pumping of the brakes&#8217; has been enough to swing traders slightly bearish once again.&#8221;

Despite this short-term resistance, analyst Michaël van de Poppe believes the bull market has significant room to run. &#8220;This market isn&#8217;t going to peak in the next 6 months if we just managed to have a 4-year bear market on Altcoins coming to an end,&#8221; Martinez wrote on social platform X.

Bitcoin Rises While Ethereum, Dogecoin Slip — 'Market Isn't Going To Peak In The Next 6 Months,' Says Popular Analyst

Options activities show a sudden burst in bearish sentiment in the markets, particularly among large-cap tech stocks, following $33 million worth of put options being purchased.
What Happened: On Thursday, popular newsletter The Kobeissi Letter shared a chart on X, showing rising put option volumes among the &#8220;Magnificent 7&#8221; stocks, which comprise high-performing and influential U.S.-listed equities.
According to the X post, put volumes started to surge around 2 p.m. ET, ultimately reaching $33 million in total purchases before the closing bell. It marked the first time this week that bearish contracts outpaced bullish calls across the group.

&#8220;Options activity continues to be very telling,&#8221; the post says, highlighting how the late-day rotation into puts could reflect increased caution after a strong year-to-date run for most of the Magnificent 7, which have a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports-betting/24/12/42378468/if-you-like-big-tech-youll-love-this-etf-that-lets-you-invest-in-microsoft-nvidia-and-appl">combined market cap</a> of over $16.3 trillion.

Why It Matters: These stocks have added $3.57 to their market caps since <a href="https://benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/05/45414023/magnificent-seven-add-36-trillion-since-april-lows-is-this-rally-just-beginning">their April lows</a>, with $1.2 trillion in gains coming within just two days of the trade de-escalations with China early this week. 
The group witnessed steep pullbacks following President Donald Trump&#8217;s Liberation Day tariffs, owing to their global scale and operations. Even after the pause was announced, the <a href="https://benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44916598/tariff-pause-fizzles-mag-7-stocks-slide-back-to-pre-pause-lows">stocks slipped back</a> to their pre-pause lows last month, as turbulent market conditions and uncertainties continued to persist.
While most stocks in this group still remain in the red year-to-date, they&#8217;ve recovered significantly over the past week, with the Roundhill Magnificent Seven ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MAGS#BATS">MAGS</a>), which tracks this grouping, rallying 21.90% over the past month.
The rising put option volumes could be in response to the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/05/45435170/jim-cramer-says-this-will-hurt-apple-president-trump-making-it-tough">fresh set of uncertainties</a> surrounding trade and tariffs by the current U.S. Administration. For instance, on Thursday, it was revealed that Trump is pressuring Apple CEO Tim Cook to stop iPhone production in India and bring manufacturing back to the United States instead.

Trump Becomes A Grandfather Again As Daughter Tiffany Welcomes Baby Boy Alexander

On Thursday, Cathie Wood-led Ark Invest executed a notable trade involving Block Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XYZ#NYSE">XYZ</a>). The firm decided to sell 9,078 shares of the Jack Dorsey-led company through its ARK Next Generation Internet ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKW#BATS">ARKW</a>). 
The Block Inc Trade:
Block&#8217;s recent quarterly earnings report fell short of expectations. The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45152696/block-shares-drop-after-worse-than-expected-q1-results-details">company&#8217;s earnings</a> per share were reported at 56 cents, missing the analyst consensus of 87 cents. Additionally, the Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>)-focused company&#8217;s revenue of $5.77 billion did not meet the anticipated $6.2 billion.
Ark Invest&#8217;s decision to sell shares aligns with its recent trend of reducing exposure to Block, as previously noted in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45307499/cathie-woods-21-5-million-shopify-grab-defies-post-earnings-dip-ark-continues-dumping-palantir-also-chops-jack-dorseys-block">other trades</a>.

Cathie Wood's Block Sale: Ark Sells Bitcoin Play — See What She's Buying Instead

With Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell once again raising a similar set of concerns during his speech on Thursday, economist Mohamed El-Erian found it all too familiar and was quick to draw parallels between chapters of economic history. 
What Happened: On Thursday, El-Erian posted on X, quoting Powell&#8217;s remarks on the state of the economy during the Second Thomas Laubach Research Conference early in the day.
During his speech, Powell said, &#8220;We may be entering a period of more frequent, and potentially more persistent, supply shocks,&#8221; before adding that it would be a &#8220;difficult challenge for the economy and for central banks,&#8221; <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/05/15/feds-powell-cautions-about-higher-long-term-rates-as-supply-shocks-provide-policy-challenges.html">reported</a> CNBC.

While quoting the central banker verbatim, El-Erian asks if the concerns raised &#8220;Sounds familiar?&#8221; This two-word response by the renowned economist highlights how the Fed&#8217;s messaging mirrors prior inflationary cycles and supply-side shocks over the years.

</figure>
Why It Matters: El-Erian is likely referring to the Fed&#8217;s messaging during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, when the U.S. and the global economy faced similar <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/21/08/22492972/supply-chain-gaps-exposed-by-covid-19-spur-search-for-local-mines-and-more-agile-planning">supply shocks</a>, with Powell as the Fed Chair. 
However, he may also be alluding to the <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/04/44892570/fairer-trade-or-economic-trainwreck-elerian-breaks-down-the-administrations-two-futures">stagflation of the 1970s</a>, a period El-Erian has frequently referenced in past commentary. He has warned that tariffs and trade wars risk creating conditions reminiscent of the Carter era, marked by low growth and high inflation.

Applied Materials, Cava Group, Coinbase, Quantum Computing, And Meta Platforms: Why These 5 Stocks Are On Investors' Radars Today

On Thursday, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) warned that President Donald Trump's support for exporting sensitive U.S. artificial intelligence chip <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/05/45390422/trump-unveils-historic-and-transformative-600-billion-saudi-deal-predicts-markets-will-go-a-lot-higher">technology to Persian Gulf allies</a> could benefit China.
What Happened: On the Senate floor, Schumer criticized Trump for greenlighting high-stakes deals allowing advanced U.S. chips to be sold to Saudi Arabia and the UAE, <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/5302029-schumer-trump-saudi-ai-chip-deals/">reported</a> The Hill.
"This deal could very well be dangerous because we have no clarity on how the Saudis and Emiratis will prevent the Chinese Communist Party, the Chinese government, the Chinese manufacturing establishment from getting their hands on these chips," Schumer said.
He warned that "inevitably, when foreign countries end up with American-made chips, the CCP, the Chinese Communist Party, sooner or later gets hold of these American chips and their secrets in them."

Several U.S. tech firms — including Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) and Qualcomm Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QCOM#NASDAQ">QCOM</a>) — have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/05/45424189/nvidia-amazon-tesla-palantir-among-top-beneficiaries-of-1-trillion-saudi-arabia-ai-push-analyst-says">announced major AI chip agreements</a> with Gulf-backed entities during Trump's Middle East trip.
Nvidia alone plans to deliver 18,000 Blackwell chips to a Saudi sovereign wealth fund-backed company.
Why It's Important: Over the years, the U.S. government has imposed tight export restrictions on advanced chips over fears they could be used for military or surveillance purposes by adversaries like China.
Schumer said these new deals undermine those efforts and could shift cutting-edge manufacturing abroad.
"What's this about bringing jobs and high-end technology back to the country?" Schumer asked. "All of a sudden it's OK to give it to other countries? Especially other countries whose security might not be as tight as ours?"
Previously, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang cautioned that restricting access to China&#8217;s AI market <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45243129/nvidia-ceo-jensen-huang-says-losing-access-to-chinas-potential-50-billion-ai-market-would-be-a-tremendous-loss">could negatively impact</a> not only the company but also American jobs and technological innovation.
His statement came after a report indicated that Nvidia has informed major Chinese clients — including Alibaba Group (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>), ByteDance and Tencent Holdings (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TCEHY#OTC">TCEHY</a>) — that it is working on a new variant of H20 AI chip models <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45182565/nvidia-designing-new-ai-chips-for-alibaba-bytedance-tencent-after-warning-us-export-ban-on-h20-could-cost-the-company-55-billion-report">tailored to comply</a> with U.S. export regulations.

Chuck Schumer Blasts Trump For Backing AI Chip Sales To Saudi Arabia, UAE: 'This Deal Could Very Well Be Dangerous'

Former Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) CEO Steve Ballmer once admitted that his biggest regret as chief executive was not jumping into smartphones early—an oversight that allowed Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) and Samsung Electronics Co. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SSNLF#OTC">SSNLF</a>) to dominate a market Microsoft was late to enter.
What Happened: In a 2014 interview with Charlie Rose, Ballmer acknowledged that Microsoft should have pivoted to hardware.
"I probably would have started doing hardware earlier so that we could have been more effective in the phone business," he said, adding, "We were the number one most profitable company in our business for a long time. Two guys have passed us and they both did it by making phones: Apple and Samsung."

Despite Microsoft's long-standing software-first approach, Ballmer admitted the shift to mobile should have been a "religious transformation" for the company.
"Bill Gates told Paul Allen when Paul first wanted to do hardware back in the 70s ‘we are software guys, ' so for us it was kind of a religious transformation," Ballmer stated.&nbsp;
Microsoft did eventually enter the hardware game with the Surface tablet and the acquisition of Nokia's phone business, but by then, Apple and Samsung had already built commanding leads.

Why It's Important: In 2012, Forbes <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/adamhartung/2012/05/12/oops-5-ceos-that-should-have-already-been-fired-cisco-ge-walmart-sears-microsoft/">named</a> Ballmer one of the &#8220;Five CEOs Who Should Have Already Been Fired,&#8221; reflecting growing criticism of his leadership during a transformative era for the tech industry.
Ballmer had taken the reins from Bill Gates in 2000, stepping into the role as Microsoft grappled with the challenges of a rapidly evolving digital landscape.
During Ballmer's tenure, Microsoft lagged behind emerging rivals like Google and Apple, both of which capitalized on major technological shifts in the 2000s.
One of the most consequential missed opportunities came in 2007, when Apple unveiled its first iPhone. Ballmer famously mocked the device, saying, "$500? Fully subsidized? With a plan? I said that is the most expensive phone in the world."
He also dismissed its lack of a physical keyboard, calling it "not a very good email machine."
That skepticism proved costly. The iPhone went on to define the modern smartphone era, while Microsoft's mobile strategy faltered.
For investors, the contrast is stark. A $1,000 investment in Microsoft stock on Jan. 13, 2000—the day Ballmer became CEO—would have been worth only about $915 by the time <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/14/07/4739442/3-things-steve-ballmer-did-right">he stepped down</a>. Today, however, that same investment would be valued at approximately $13,685.
Meanwhile, had an investor chosen Apple stock on the same day, their $1,000 would now be worth over $289,000, underscoring just how much Ballmer's misstep in mobile ultimately benefited Microsoft's fiercest competitor.
Microsoft currently holds the title of the world&#8217;s most valuable company with a market capitalization of $3.36 trillion, while Apple ranks third at $3.17 trillion.
Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings assigns Microsoft a robust growth score of 65.56%. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Click here to see how it stacks up against other top companies</a> like Apple, Samsung and Google.

Steve Ballmer's Missed Call: $1000 Investment Then Worth $289,000 To Apple Investors Today — Why Ex-Microsoft CEO Once Admitted 'Religious Transformation' Came Too Late

Planning for the future is essential — especially when it comes to choosing a financial power of attorney. But what if you don't have close family, children, or friends who can take on that role?
This is the question a 68-year-old listener named Melissa asked Suze Orman on a recent "<a href="https://omny.fm/shows/suze-ormans-women-and-money/ask-kt-suze-anything-what-is-stagflation">Women &amp; Money</a>" podcast episode. Melissa has done an impressive job saving for retirement — she holds $900,000 in a Roth IRA and $500,000 in a traditional IRA — but she's concerned about who can legally manage her finances if she becomes unable to do so herself.

<li>Hasbro, MGM, and Skechers trust this AI marketing firm — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/rad-intel">Invest before it's too late.</a></li>
</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">No Family, No Friends — Now What?</h2>
Melissa explained that while she has friends, none are able to serve as her financial power of attorney. Her question to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45336256/debt-income-and-investments-suze-orman-says-we-should-all-be-focused-on-these-because-the-government-cant-save-you">Orman</a> was simple: What do you do when you have no one?
Orman acknowledged that this is a tough situation but also more common than many realize. "Most people don't have anybody, even if they have family," she said. "Even if they have certain people, they might not want them."
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Answer: Hire a Professional Fiduciary</h2>
In cases like Melissa's, Orman recommends hiring a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-online-financial-advisors">professional fiduciary</a> — someone whose job is to manage another person's finances with legal and ethical responsibility.
"If you have to go that route…choose someone who is licensed, bonded, and legally required to act in your best interest," Orman said. This protects you from potential abuse or mismanagement and ensures that decisions about your money will be made carefully and ethically.
Trending: The team behind $6B+ in licensing deals is now building the next billion-dollar IP empire — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/elf-labs-ym?v=123">invest early at $2.25/share.</a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Where to Find a Trustworthy Fiduciary</h2>
Finding the right person starts at the local level. Orman advised Melissa — and others in similar situations — to contact their local county probate court or visit the court's website. Many courts maintain a list of licensed private professional fiduciaries who serve their area.
You'll also want to check that any professional you consider is registered with your state. For added credibility, look for someone who is certified through a reputable organization like the National Guardianship Association or the National Association of Personal Financial Advisors.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Interview Several Candidates</h2>
Orman was clear on this point: Don't just pick the first person you find. Interview multiple fiduciaries and ask detailed questions about how they operate, what they charge, and what experience they have with clients in similar financial situations.

'Who Can Be My Financial Power Of Attorney If I Don't Have Anyone?' Suze Orman Advises Listener Who Doesn't Have Family Or Children

If you've ever opened a medical bill and wondered how a ten-minute visit costs more than your rent, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44885628/mark-cuban-says-health-insurance-shouldnt-exist-you-dont-have-to-grab-every-nickel-when-its-the-health-of-the-entire-country-at-stake">Mark Cuban's right there with you</a>—only louder, bolder, and a lot less polite about it.
Cuban may have made his billions in tech and sports, but in recent years, he's shifted his sights toward America's other broken empire: healthcare. And during an <a href="https://www.offcall.com/learn/podcast/mark-cuban-interview-how-shark-tank-star-and-cost-plus-drugs-ceo-would-fix-healthcare">April episode of the "How I Doctor" podcast</a> hosted by Dr. Graham Walker, he made it clear he isn't here to fix it gently.
"Insurance companies are the worst of the worst of the worst of the worst of the worst," Cuban said. "If you look at how insurance plans are designed, it should be criminal."

</ul>
He wasn't warming up. He was just getting started.
Cuban, who co-founded <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44658207/mark-cuban-says-cost-plus-drugs-faces-price-hike-threat-tariffs-would-force-us-to-pass-costs-directly-to-consumers">Cost Plus Drugs in 2022</a> to tackle inflated prescription prices, is now taking aim at what he sees as the system's core problem: the way health insurance shifts all the risk onto the people doing the care—and the people needing it.
"If they design a high-deductible health plan and they make it available to somebody with a take-home pay of $25,000, and there's a deductible of $5,000, [doctors] are screwed," he said. "Even if the patient is broke as a joke and doesn't have two nickels to rub together, you still have to care for them."

And once the patient leaves? That debt becomes the doctor's problem, too. "Now you're the one also responsible for figuring out a payment methodology—if there is one."
Dr. Walker, co-founder of Offcall—a platform built to expose pay gaps, reduce burnout, and fight bureaucracy—asked Cuban what he would do if he were in charge. Cuban didn't flinch. His proposals range from common sense to scorched-earth:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Make medical school free. "$24 billion is nothing," Cuban said. "But it changes the dynamics considerably to improve the quality of care."</li>
<li>Pay doctors more. "If I'm getting a heart transplant, I want that motherf&#x2A;&#x2A;&#x2A;ing doctor to make $10,000," he said. "So they're paying attention and not worried about the next heart transplant or the patient with a boo-boo."</li>
<li>Ditch prior authorizations. "They're designed to drive doctors crazy," he said. "But if you're making an extra $400 million just by stalling, you're going to keep doing it."</li>
</ul>

But Cuban's rage isn't limited to insurance plans. He also went after hospitals that charge "facility fees" for things that make no sense and the "arbitrage" tactics used by private equity to squeeze doctors dry.
"In healthcare, that $4.9 trillion—wherever anybody can arbitrage whatever they can out of the system—that's exactly what they are going to do," he said.
Cuban's solution? Put power back into the hands of physicians. Create direct-care networks. Cut out the middlemen. Build a virtual hospital if you have to. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44178175/elon-musk-wants-to-know-why-healthcare-costs-so-much-mark-cuban-gives-him-7-brutal-reasons-why-ceos-like-him-are-making-it-worse">Just stop pretending the system works</a>.
Because, as he put it: "This whole conversation is about how can we get doctors to be able to golf on Wednesdays like they used to."

Gold rush is back, and instead of miners and pickaxes, its hedge funds and billion-dollar spreadsheets. 
Ray Dalio&#8217;s Bridgewater Associates <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/hedge-funds/25/05/45447966/ray-dalios-bridgewater-dumps-spy-trims-nvidia-meta-alphabet-bearish-vibes">opened a fresh $318.8 million position</a> in SPDR Gold Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLD#NYSE">GLD</a>) during the first quarter of 2025, as per a new 13F filing with the SEC. For the world&#8217;s largest hedge fund, it&#8217;s not mere portfolio adjustment, it&#8217;s a shiny declaration.
Dalio, a long-time outspoken proponent of &#8220;hard money,&#8221; recently doubled down on his opinion during a presentation at Abu Dhabi Finance Week. Forecasting a coming &#8220;debt money problem&#8221; due to hyperborrowing by the U.S., China and virtually every large economy other than Germany, Dalio expressed his fondness for the likes of gold and Bitcoin over conventional debt vehicles.

He&#8217;s not the only one embracing this golden gospel. No, institutional investors are flocking to the yellow metal at a furious clip — 1,187 GLD shares were added last quarter. BlackRock, Goldman Sachs and UBS all bulled up their gold ETFs with positions in GLD, according to Quiver Quantitative.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">GLD Is The Standard-Bearer—But Not The Only Game In Town</h1>
GLD might be the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">gold ETF heavyweight</a> champion, but it&#8217;s not alone in the ring. Those interested in playing with bullion without keeping it under the mattress can consider:
iShares Gold Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IAU#NYSE">IAU</a>): Inexpensive and popular with good liquidity, perfect for long-term investors who prefer fees on the lean side (expense ratio is 0.25%).
SPDR Gold MiniShares Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLDM#NYSE">GLDM</a>): It&#8217;s like GLD&#8217;s less expensive cousin and it has a smaller expense ratio (0.1%).
Goldman Sachs Physical Gold ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAAU#BATS">AAAU</a>): Supported by physical gold and Goldman&#8217;s influence, it&#8217;s picking up among newer gold bugs.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Golden Fuel</h2>
Aside from hedge fund mania, there is a macro muscle driving the gold rally. Central banks have purchased more than 1,000 metric tons of gold per year since Russia&#8217;s invasion of Ukraine in 2022, twice the amount of the previous decade, per a Reuters report from April. 
Why? Central banks are diversifying out of the dollar and hedging against geopolitical risk and Trump-fiscal pyrotechnics.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">The Bigger Picture</h1>
Dalio puts it best: debt, money and the economy are only one of five epic forces remaking the world. The others — domestic political strains, foreign geopolitical conflicts, acts of nature, and technological innovation — are all lighting up red or amber. Gold, in such a scenario, is not simply a safety net. It&#8217;s a statement.
So, whether you're a hedge fund titan, a cautious retail investor or someone who just likes a little shine in their portfolio, the message is clear: in an age of debt and disruption, gold isn't going out of style anytime soon.

Move Over Miners, Hedge Funds Are The New Gold Diggers ... Ray Dalio, BlackRock, Goldman Sachs, Others Stake Claims In GLD

The Port of Los Angeles, the busiest in the Western Hemisphere, has seen a 35% drop in cargo volume compared to the same period last year, according to Gene Seroka, the port&#8217;s executive director. The drop reflects the harsh impact of recent tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump&#8217;s administration.&nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Pushback on Fox News</h2>
The economic fallout from these tariffs sparked a heated exchange on the recent Fox News &#8220;The Five&#8221; <a href="https://x.com/JessicaTarlov/status/1920159291530485767">show</a>. One of the hosts, Jessica Tarlov, argued that despite the administration&#8217;s attempts to downplay the impact, the consequences are already being felt.

</ul>
&#8220;Prices are already going up,&#8221; Tarlov said, highlighting layoffs at a Mack truck plant in Pennsylvania and rising costs hitting major companies like Microsoft (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) and Mattel (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MAT#NASDAQ">MAT</a>). She pointed to the executive director of the Port of Los Angeles, who, besides reporting a 35% drop in cargo volume, also warned that truckers and dock workers could soon face significant layoffs.
When co-hosts Jeanine Pirro and Greg Gutfeld tried to push back, suggesting that there&#8217;s always talk about layoffs but they never happen, Tarlov shot back, &#8220;It&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44642355/trumps-25-auto-tariffs-spark-stellantis-layoffs-gm-expansion-uaws-shawn-fain-calls-job-cuts-completely-unnecessary">not true that it doesn&#8217;t happen</a>&#8230; These are real consequences.&#8221;

She argued that countries are finding ways to adapt to the tariffs, noting that Canada has increased its exports to other markets by 25% since the tariffs were introduced. Co-host Jesse Watters challenged this claim, insisting that Canada&#8217;s economy is struggling, but Tarlov stood firm, saying, &#8220;I do look at the statistics all day.&#8221;
She also cited comments from Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, who, at the time, acknowledged that the U.S. hadn&#8217;t had direct trade talks with China, despite Trump&#8217;s claims to the contrary. Tarlov noted that Bessent told Congress the administration has engaged with 17 countries about trade, but not China, which remains the critical player in the ongoing dispute.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Impact on Workers and Local Businesses</h2>
For workers like Charlie Camacho, a longshore worker whose family has worked at the port for three generations, the decline is already hitting home. Speaking to <a href="https://www.npr.org/2025/05/07/nx-s1-5389955/los-angeles-port-tariffs">NPR</a>, Camacho described the struggle to find work as container volumes plummet. &#8220;Less volume of cargo containers means less work for us,&#8221; he said. &#8220;We feel it, we definitely feel it.&#8221;
It&#8217;s not just dockworkers feeling the squeeze. Small business owners like Frank Groves, who sells gloves and safety gear to port workers, have also seen their income collapse. Groves told NPR that his business is down nearly 75% in recent weeks. &#8220;No sales at all really. If they aren&#8217;t working, I don&#8217;t make money,&#8221; he said.
Even if the tariffs were to be lifted soon, some experts say the damage could be long-lasting. Former Los Angeles City Harbor Commissioner Diane Middleton warned that supply chains can&#8217;t be rebuilt overnight. &#8220;You don&#8217;t just have ships lined up like taxi cabs,&#8221; she told NPR, noting that the logistical challenges of reversing these disruptions could linger for months, if not years. &#8220;You have to reserve vessels. You have to specify a time. Once you&#8217;ve cut all that off, you can&#8217;t bring it back in a minute.&#8221;
As the debate over tariffs continues, it's clear that the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/05/45183970/behind-the-empty-docks-how-trumps-145-tariffs-are-gutting-u-s-supply-chains">economic fallout</a> is already hitting American businesses and workers hard, despite the administration&#8217;s attempts to downplay the impact.
