Here's How Much $1000 Invested In Marathon Petroleum 10 Years Ago Would Be Worth Today

Warren Buffett, one of the wealthiest individuals in history, has never shied away from sharing his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42364120/warren-buffett-was-married-to-one-woman-lived-with-another-and-sent-christmas-cards-signed-by-all-3-daughter-says-not-a-bad-thing">unorthodox views</a> on wealth and inheritance. Known for his financial genius and no-nonsense demeanor, Buffett has consistently rejected the idea of passing down unearned fortunes to his children. In his eyes, inherited wealth isn't a gift – it's a trap.
In a 1986 Fortune magazine interview, Buffett laid out his philosophy with striking clarity: "The perfect amount to leave your children is enough money so that they would feel they could do anything but not so much that they could do nothing." For him, leaving his kids a "lifetime supply of food stamps just because they came out of the right womb" was not only wasteful but harmful – an anti-social act. His stance was rooted in the belief that wealth without effort undermines character and fosters a dependency no better than the one critics of welfare programs often rail against.

<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>
</ul>
While some billionaires seek to control how their children spend inherited money through intricate trust structures, Buffett took a different approach. He emphasized giving them the tools to succeed, not a crutch to lean on indefinitely.
According to his biography, Buffett's disdain for unearned wealth runs deep. "Around country clubs, you hear people talking about the debilitating aspects of a welfare cycle … These same people are leaving their kids with a lifetime supply of food stamps and beyond," he remarked. The contradiction drove him crazy: "Instead of a welfare officer, they have a trust fund officer." Buffett's solution? You shouldn't consume more than you produce.
Still, Buffett hasn't left his children out of the picture entirely. He's entrusted them with overseeing charitable foundations, ensuring they have a role in shaping his philanthropic legacy. This choice transforms them into some of the world's most influential philanthropists, directing billions toward causes that matter to the family. A 2016 Atlantic article reported that Buffett's children will oversee charitable trusts tied to the family's foundations, including an Omaha-focused grant-making powerhouse.

For Buffett, the balance between support and independence is crucial. He wants his kids to feel empowered to pursue their passions but believes handing them too much wealth would strip them of purpose. As he told Fortune, "A few hundred thousand dollars sounds about right."

Buffett's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">views on wealth and inheritance</a> challenge societal norms, particularly among the ultrarich. His philosophy forces us to ask: Is it really a gift to leave massive wealth to the next generation or does it hinder their potential? For Buffett, the answer is clear: Wealth should be a tool for doing good, not an excuse for doing nothing.

$1000 Invested In This Stock 5 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

MicroStrategy Incorporated (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) shares closed down Wednesday, due to a<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/43142275/bitcoin-ethereum-xrp-dogecoin-reel-downwards-but-trader-hints-at-bitcoin-god-candle-loading"> decline in Bitcoin's (CRYPTO: BTC/USD) price</a>, which dropped 1.73% to $104,313.65.
What To Know: Bitcoin transaction volume over $100,000 decreased by 15%, while netflows dropped 307%, signaling a possible cooling of market activity. Over $161 million in liquidations occurred in the past 24 hours, which put additional pressure on the market. 
While BlackRock clients facilitated the purchase of $600 million in Bitcoin via an ETF, market sentiment remains cautious due to the nature of these transactions.
Bitcoin's liquidity is concentrated between $96,000 and $111,000, with support levels between $88,000-$95,000. If these levels fail, Bitcoin could drop further, potentially impacting MicroStrategy's stock as well. 
Despite the short-term volatility, Bitcoin&#8217;s overall bullish trend remains intact as long as it stays above $58,000, which provides some stability for MicroStrategy.
Why It Matters: For MicroStrategy, the company's heavy exposure to Bitcoin potentially means its stock is especially sensitive to Bitcoin's price. The company also recently received shareholder approval for a proposal to increase its share count, which could lead to more Bitcoin purchases in the future. 
MSTR Price Action: Microstrategy shares closed Wednesday down 3.03% at $377.31, according to<a href="http://www.benzinga.com/pro/register/?utm_source=BZprocontent072224&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1"> Benzinga Pro.</a>

MicroStrategy Shares Are Down With Bitcoin Today: What's Going On?

Wall Street has shown time and again that it's resilient enough to withstand a variety of challenging macroeconomic conditions.&nbsp;
From the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/01/43001512/inflation-rises-to-29-in-december-core-slows-yet-rising-energy-costs-put-feds-target-at-risk">high inflation</a> barrage of 2022 to a 5.5% peak in interest rates beginning in 2023, the S&amp;P 500's recovery to new all-time highs is a bullish signal. But what impact could the prospect of fewer rate cuts in 2025 have on the overall health of the market?&nbsp;
January 2025 saw Fed officials indicate that they <a href="https://www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/news/258864/will-the-us-fed-raise-interest-rates-in-2025.aspx#:~:text=Fed%20officials%20indicated%20they%20now,cuts)%20in%20their%20September%20projections." target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">now expect two rate cuts</a> amounting to a half point throughout the year ahead. The news compounded the S&amp;P 500's steady decline in what's set to be a period of economic uncertainty for markets as the unpredictable President-elect Donald Trump approaches his second term in the White House. 
As recently as September, officials were anticipating a full percentage point of cuts throughout 2025 at a crucial time for Wall Street firms seeking to take advantage of lower borrowing costs to embrace the ongoing AI boom surrounding key sectors.&nbsp;
Lower interest rates are generally bullish for US firms because the lower cost of borrowing helps to facilitate more spending, investing, and hiring strategies.&nbsp;
Although US Bank data suggests that equity investors appear to be <a href="https://www.usbank.com/investing/financial-perspectives/market-news/how-do-rising-interest-rates-affect-the-stock-market.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">more focused</a> on factors like the wider economy and corporate earnings ahead of interest rates, a higher-for-longer environment could profoundly impact the growth of the most innovative players throughout US markets in 2025. This could have a domino effect on the growth of innovation throughout the AI sector and strong-performing markets in recent years. 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Keeping the Good Times Rolling&nbsp;</h2>
Tech stocks populate around one-third of the S&amp;P 500 index, and recent advances in AI and the hype surrounding innovations throughout the sector have played a key role in enabling Wall Street to shake off jitters related to historically high inflation and interest rate hikes in recent years.&nbsp;
Shares in leading AI stocks like Nvidia and Broadcom, which rallied 171% and 108% respectively in 2024, have helped to sustain the S&amp;P 500's outperformance, with the index surging 23.31% throughout the year with 57 record closes.&nbsp;
However, in the 21st Century, the average gain of the S&amp;P 500 is closer to 10% per year. It's this contrast that underlines the importance of the AI boom to Wall Street's health.&nbsp;
JPMorgan data has laid bare the historical parallels between Federal Reserve rate cuts and bullish sentiment on Wall Street. Since 1980, <a href="https://www.jpmorgan.com/insights/markets/top-market-takeaways/tmt-rate-cut-breakdown-what-you-need-to-know-now" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">five of the best 10 years</a> for the S&amp;P 500 happened when the Fed was cutting rates without a recession. Additionally, the Fed has cut rates 12 times when the index was within 1% of its all-time high, and in all 12 cases, the market was higher one year later–boasting a median return of 15%. 
Because the immediate effect of rate cuts involves a reduction in borrowing costs, these dovish reversions generally <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/what-fintech-industry-can-expect-from-rate-cut-later-year-oslgc#:~:text=Impact%20on%20Capital%20and%20Investment,wave%20of%20innovation%20and%20expansion.">improve consumer spending</a> as well as investment in innovation. This paves the way for cheaper access to capital and far stronger growth prospects.&nbsp;
At a time when the generative AI boom is moving from its hype phase to its implementation phase, this access to spending is imperative for the sustainability of Wall Street's brightest tech startups, and a more hawkish stance from the Fed could stifle the scaling up of artificial intelligence adoption.&nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Could Higher Rates Bring Growth?&nbsp;</h2>
Other high-growth industries like fintech could present solutions to consumers during a higher-for-longer interest rate environment that helps to keep stocks within the sector higher amid the uncertainty.&nbsp;
Although higher rates will stifle consumer appetite for borrowing, innovations <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/fintech/25/01/42818294/how-fintech-must-evolve-to-meet-the-needs-of-techs-new-wealth" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">within fintech like open banking</a> and buy now pay later (BNPL) could empower consumers to navigate the challenging economic climate. 
While open banking can help to promote financial management and literacy across various banking, investing, and saving apps, the <a href="https://www.eposnow.com/us/resources/payment-trends/#buy-now-pay-later" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">emerging BNPL trend</a> paves the way for access to borrowing for essential purchases that are usually interest-free. 
With this in mind, we could see the fintech landscape continue to grow as a solution to high interest rates while other major tech industries are hampered by higher costs during their scaling process.&nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Wall Street's Trump Card</h2>
Donald Trump's second term in the White House is sure to influence the performance of US markets alongside interest rates throughout 2025.&nbsp;
Concerns over the President-elect's tariffs and a stronger US Dollar, both of which could be inflationary, may significantly impact the Federal Reserve's stance on interest rates throughout the year.&nbsp;
Should a strengthening dollar begin to <a href="https://www.ig.com/au/trading-strategies/Why-US-rate-cuts-in-2025-could-surpass-current-expectations-250108" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">impact the ability of US manufacturers</a> and exporters to trade internationally, we could see the Fed cut rates to maintain a level of competitiveness across global markets. 
On the flip side, Trump's stance on deregulation could be such a catalyst for growth that it <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/federal-reserve-fed-interest-rates-analyst-reaction-wall-street-stocks-2024-12" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">pushes yields higher</a> and prompts a Federal Reserve intervention, according to Jochen Stanzl, chief market analyst at CMC Markets. It's for this reason that early inflation data surrounding Trump's Presidency will be crucial for the future of rate cuts. 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What to Expect in 2025</h2>
The sheer power of the ongoing AI boom means that we're likely to see a high level of resilience in the S&amp;P 500 even in the most unpredictable of market circumstances. However, all bets are off when it comes to the rate cuts we're likely to see throughout the year.&nbsp;
While the Fed anticipates two cuts in 2025, Trump's arrival in the White House will be the deciding factor for the direction that both interest and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/inflation" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">inflation</a> take in the new year. 
As a hedge against the uncertainty, there may be more value in fintech moving forward, but the best approach for investors is to avoid resting on laurels and to continue to analyze emerging market and inflation data.&nbsp;

KULR Technology Group Inc. (AMEX:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KULR#AMEX">KULR</a>) shares are trading higher on Wednesday after announcing a groundbreaking <a href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/43126655">pyrolytic carbon electrode</a> developed in collaboration with Scripps Research Institute&#8217;s Baran Lab.
The Details: The electrode is key for the synthetic organic electrochemistry field, a sector integral to the production of pharmaceuticals. Compared to traditional carbon materials, KULR described the electrode as more cost-effective, durable and reusable. 
&#8220;KULR&#8217;s expertise in carbon materials, combined with the innovative vision of Scripps Research&#8217;s Baran Lab, has resulted in a truly transformative material for synthetic chemistry,&#8221; said Michael Mo, CEO of KULR Technology. 
&#8220;We are excited to bring this technology to market, where it has the potential to redefine how we approach large-scale chemical synthesis.&#8221;
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy KULR Technology Stock</h1>
By now you're likely curious about how to participate in the market for KULR Technology — be it to purchase shares, or even attempt to bet against the company.
Buying shares is typically done through a brokerage account. You can find a list of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-stock-trading-platforms">possible trading platforms here.</a> Many will allow you to buy &#8220;fractional shares,&#8221; which allows you to own portions of stock without buying an entire share. For example, some stock, such as Berkshire Hathaway, can cost thousands of dollars to own just one share. However, if you only want to invest a fraction of that, brokerages will allow you to do so.
In the the case of KULR Technology, which was trading at $2.65 at some point on Wednesday, $100 would buy 37.74 shares of stock.
If you're looking to bet against a company, the process is more complex. You'll need access to an options trading platform, or a broker who will allow you to &#8220;go short&#8221; a share of stock by lending you the shares to sell. The process of shorting a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock">stock can be found at this resource.</a> Otherwise, if your broker allows you to trade options, you can either buy a put option, or sell a call option at a strike price above where shares are currently trading — either way it allows you to profit off of the share price decline.

What's Going On With KULR Technology Shares Wednesday?

Welcome, my friends, to what I am calling the Age of Uncertainty. This little catchphrase is going to be sticking around for at least the next four years. As I write this, Donald Trump has just taken office.
It's the first week of his Presidency and the start of his administration is just about what we expected with a few surprises thrown in for good measure: new takes on energy, trade, immigration, and much more.
Let us dive into what is happening and what it all means for your money.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Trump&#8217;s Opening Moves</h2>
Contrary to the predictions of many in the financial world, Trump came out of the gate a bit softer on China. No immediate tariffs or trade wars, just an announcement that the United States trade policy will be reviewed and some suggestion and indication of what is coming down the pike.
Trump has touched on familiar themes such as immigration and border security. One hot button issue was his executive order aimed at ending birthright citizenship. While the abuse of this system is real (indeed, even wealthy families use it to get dual citizenship for their kids), this fight will undoubtedly end up in the courts. Changing a constitutional clause is not exactly a walk in the park. But hey, I am sure Trump has got it all figured out.
On the border, his halt on catch and release policies is likely to boost business for companies such as GEO Group. They own jails on the United States Mexico border, and with Trump&#8217;s border policies in play, it is looking good for them.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Energy and Trade</h2>
Trump&#8217;s &#8220;drill, baby, drill&#8221; stance is music to the ears of those invested in oil and gas infrastructure. With plans to explore and produce energy on federal lands and waters, kill offshore wind leases, and remove restrictions on drilling in Alaska, the energy sector is poised for growth. We own energy royalties and non-operator ownership interests in oil wells, and every uptick in production is a win for us. Trump also promised a sweeping trade overhaul, with reviews of agreements with China, Canada, and Mexico. The potential for tariffs on our neighbors could shake things up, but it is all still uncertain.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Inflation, Debt, and the Economy</h2>
Let us address the elephant in the room: inflation.
It is still here, it is sticky, and it is not going anywhere soon. Sure, we have seen it drop from over 9% to around 3%, but do not expect a rollback on prices anytime soon. Food and energy costs remain stable for now, but any disruption could quickly change that.
As for government spending, we are on a never-ending roller coaster. Infrastructure, energy, semiconductors, and rehoming critical industries all require and you guessed it and government spending. Debt levels are troubling, but the United States can still sell its bonds easily, so a debt crisis is not imminent. Consumers and corporations, meanwhile, are in pretty good shape. Debt to service ratios and balance sheets look strong, which is good news as we enter this new administration.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why Asset Based Value Investing Works</h2>
In an environment like this, asset-based value investing shines. Here is why: when you invest in assets with intrinsic value, you are anchoring your portfolio to something tangible. Whether it is real estate, energy infrastructure, or even royalty streams, these investments are backed by physical or financial assets that generate real cash flow. This approach reduces reliance on market sentiment and speculative price movements.
For individual investors, this means you are not just betting on a hot stock or the latest trend. You are buying into assets where you can evaluate the downside risk with clarity. In uncertain times, this focus on tangible value and cash flow provides a much-needed margin of safety. Best of all, asset-based investments often come with the added bonus of inflation protection. Real assets such as property and energy infrastructure tend to appreciate over time, especially when inflation rears its head.
By prioritizing assets that are undervalued relative to their net asset value, you are setting yourself up for long term success. It is not flashy, but it works and it has worked for decades. In the Age of Uncertainty, asset-based value investing is a strategy that does not just survive; it thrives.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why Buying Below Book Value is a Winning Strategy</h2>
Let us talk numbers. Historical data shows that buying stocks below book value often leads to extraordinary returns. Take a look at the annual returns for undervalued stocks. In years where investors focused on buying below book value, returns like 98.94% in 2003 and 95.19% in 2004 were achieved. Even in less spectacular years, returns consistently outperformed broader market indices.
Why does this work? Because buying below book value means you are acquiring assets at a discount. It is like buying a dollar for fifty cents. When market conditions normalize or improve, these undervalued stocks have the potential to surge, as their intrinsic value becomes recognized. This strategy aligns perfectly with asset-based value investing, where the focus is on tangible assets and strong fundamentals.
In volatile times, this approach gives investors a margin of safety. You are not just speculating on growth; you are investing in real, measurable value. And as history shows, the payoff can be remarkable. So, whether it is real estate, energy infrastructure, or beaten down stocks trading below book value, the principle remains the same: buy quality assets at a discount and watch them appreciate.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Using a Deep Value Approach to Real Estate Investing</h2>
Let us take a closer look at why a deep value approach to real estate investing is a game changer. The idea is simple but powerful: buy properties or real estate investment trusts (REITs) at prices well below their intrinsic or net asset value (NAV). This strategy works particularly well during times of market dislocation or uncertainty, when fear and volatility create opportunities to scoop up high quality assets at bargain prices.
By focusing on deep value, you are not just buying properties; you are buying into cash flow streams and tangible assets that are often mispriced by the market. For instance, Class A office properties or medical office buildings might be trading at discounts due to temporary concerns. However, their long-term fundamentals, such as high occupancy rates and reliable tenants, remain intact. By purchasing these properties below NAV, you set yourself up for both strong cash flow and significant capital appreciation as the market recovers.
This approach also aligns with the concept of a margin of safety. When you buy below NAV, you are essentially building in a cushion against potential risks or market downturns. Even if the broader real estate market faces headwinds, your investments are better positioned to weather the storm and deliver returns. And let us not forget: inflation is a friend to real estate. As the cost of goods and services rises, so do rents and property values, further enhancing the appeal of deeply discounted real estate assets.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why Real Estate?</h2>
Publicly traded real estate has outperformed almost every other asset class over the long term. REITs have delivered stellar returns since the 1970s, even beating private equity (unless you have got millions to invest in those exclusive funds). Wall Street will not tell you this because there is no money in it for them. But I am here to tell you: buying high quality real estate at attractive prices is one of the smartest moves you can make.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Final Thoughts</h2>
This Age of Uncertainty is going to be a wild ride. Trump&#8217;s policies could bring great opportunities or unforeseen challenges. What we do know is that investing in high quality real estate with strong cash flows and rock-solid financials is a strategy that works. It has weathered inflation, market crashes, and bad government policies before, and it will continue to do so.
If you are ready to grow your wealth or secure steady income, consider adding the Total Return or Income portfolios to your strategy. As always, we will be here, watching, monitoring, and most importantly, collecting cash.

Shares of electric vehicle (EV) stocks, including Rivian Automotive Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RIVN#NASDAQ">RIVN</a>) and Lucid Group Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LCID#NASDAQ">LCID</a>), are trading lower amid continued weakness following<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/01/43113872/rivian-lucid-shares-are-falling-today-whats-going-on"> significant policy changes announced</a> by President Donald Trump.
What To Know: The policy shifts involve revoking a 2021 executive order issued by former President Joe Biden, which set a non-binding target for 50% of new vehicles sold in the U.S. to be electric by 2030. 
Trump&#8217;s executive order not only eliminates this target but also freezes unspent funds from a $5 billion EV charging infrastructure program. Additionally, the administration plans to reassess emissions regulations requiring automakers to sell between 30% and 56% electric vehicles by 2032 to meet federal standards.
The new policies also raise the possibility of repealing the $7,500 federal tax credit for EV purchases. Furthermore, Trump has expressed intentions to challenge California's waiver, which mandates zero-emission vehicles by 2035 and has been adopted by 11 other states. This could add further uncertainty for EV manufacturers that rely on these mandates to drive adoption.
For Rivian, known for its electric trucks, SUVs and delivery vans, the potential repeal of tax credits and reduced funding for EV infrastructure could dampen demand for its premium-priced vehicles. Lucid, another emerging player in the EV market, faces similar challenges as it contends with reduced government incentives and infrastructure support, critical factors for its growth.
RIVN, LCID Price Actions: Rivian shares were down 4.51% at $12.69 and Lucid shares were down 6.64% at $2.67 at market close Wednesday, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?new_user=False&amp;backend=google-oauth2" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Pro.</a>
