Meta Plans Display-Equipped Ray-Ban Glasses By 2025: FT

Billionaire Stanley Druckenmiller, a George Soros protégé, is known for his &#8220;top-down&#8221; investing style. Druckenmiller&#8217;s strategy focuses on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care/24/12/42627207/stanley-druckenmillers-top-holding-has-outperformed-its-sector-by-252" target="_blank" rel="noopener">making large bets</a> on macroeconomic trends, prioritizing top-performing industries over individual companies.
The Bowdoin College and University of Michigan alumnus recently upped his stake in Broadcom Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>), a $1 trillion semiconductor company based in San Jose, California.
Druckenmiller closed his hedge fund, Duquesne Capital in 2010, but still maintains the Duquesne Family Office to manage his wealth.
Druckenmiller first bought 51,956 shares in the company in mid-to-late 2023, selling all before the next quarter. The latest Duquesne 13F filing, revealing the firm&#8217;s holdings as of Sept. 30, showed Druckenmiller upping his wager on Broadcom to 239,980 shares. The investment — up over 35% since September — represents a market value of almost $56 million, one of his largest holdings.
Shares of the company were already trading up over 100% between his first filing and the latest filing.

Druckenmiller previously called NVIDIA Corp&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) ascension, buying shares in late 2022 and early 2023, but sold off most of his position before the company&#8217;s historic rally in 2024.

Broadcom is a global technology company that designs, develops, and supplies semiconductor and infrastructure software solutions. Its products, which include chips for networking, broadband, wireless communications, and storage, as well as enterprise software for cybersecurity and data management, power a wide range of industries, from telecommunications and data centers to consumer electronics.
The company&#8217;s shares were trading almost 5% higher at the time of publication Monday following news that the U.S. is opening an investigation into China&#8217;s semiconductor industry policies, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Benzinga Pro</a>.

What the Wealthy Do Differently
If you're wondering how the ultrarich get and stay wealthy, their asset allocation offers some clues. High net worth individuals (HNWIs) don't just stash their cash under the mattress. They invest – and they diversify.
Real Estate: A Cornerstone of Wealth
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/11/41726342/can-you-guess-what-asset-the-ultra-wealthy-invest-in-most-heres-a-hint-its-not-stocks">Real estate is a big deal</a> for the wealthy. According to Knight Frank, the ultra-wealthy allocate about 32% of their wealth to residential properties and 21% to commercial real estate. Why? Because real estate has a track record of steady appreciation and can weather market volatility better than many other investments.
Even if you're not in the market for a multimillion-dollar mansion, owning property – your home or a rental – can be a key step toward building wealth.
Stocks, Bonds and Beyond
For those with more than $3 million in investable assets, here's the average breakdown of their portfolios as reported by Financial Samurai:
• 55% in stocks
• 21% in bonds
• 15% in cash
• 6% in alternatives (like private equity or hedge funds)
• 4% in other assets
The takeaway? The wealthiest Americans spread their money across different asset classes, balancing high-risk, high-reward investments with stable ones.

Strategies to Grow Your Net Worth
You might not be aiming for the top 1%, but building wealth is a goal almost anyone can work toward. Here's how:
1. Invest in Real Estate: Consider owning property, even if it's your primary residence.
2. Diversify Your Portfolio: Don't <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/06/39360926/diversification-thats-for-idiots-mark-cuban-slams-warren-buffetts-investment-strategy-i-think-bu">put all your eggs in one basket – </a>stocks, bonds and other investments each have a role.
3. Think Long-Term: Slow and steady often wins the race. Focus on consistent growth rather than chasing quick wins.
4. Increase Your Income: Earning more, whether through a side hustle or career advancement, gives you more to save and invest.
5. Spend Less Than You Earn: It's not flashy, but living below your means is one of the most effective ways to build wealth.
Building wealth isn't an overnight process, but understanding the numbers and strategies that the ultra-wealthy use can be a solid first step. Whether you're just starting or climbing the wealth ladder, remember that every dollar saved and invested gets you <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">closer to your financial goals</a>.

$100 Invested In This Stock 15 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

Sol-Gel Technologies Shares Resume Trade Then Halted On Circuit Breaker To The Upside, Stock Now Up 224%

Following the COVID-19 pandemic,<a href="https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/ACTLISCOUUS"> </a>active <a href="https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/ACTLISCOUUS">listings</a> for single-family homes fell conspicuously due to public health concerns and mandated stay-in-place orders. Naturally, this framework sparked a demand bottleneck, cynically benefiting homebuilders as society gradually normalized. However, incoming political shifts could present concerns for the broader housing market.
Specifically, President-elect Donald Trump throughout the campaign trail for the 2024 election<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41301544/trump-steps-up-anti-immigrant-rhetoric-proposes-nationwide-plan-to-target-venezuelan-gang-members"> broadcasted anti-immigration sentiments</a>. Combined with his<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/12/42572520/2025-housing-market-looks-like-a-year-of-struggle-for-states-like-builders-now-hold-record-inventory"> proposed tariffs on building materials</a>, Trump's policies could drive construction costs higher. Potentially, such a development could negatively impact demand as<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/11/41728751/even-as-inflation-cools-most-americans-cant-get-ahead-and-continue-living-paycheck-to-paycheck-r"> most Americans have struggled</a> to get ahead of the paycheck-to-paycheck cycle.
Still, it's not all doom and gloom. Despite historically high mortgage rates, several Sun Belt cities may be poised for<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/12/42515226/2025s-top-housing-markets-where-home-sales-will-jump-by-up-to-27-according-to-report"> explosive sales growth in 2025</a>, according to projections from sites like Realtor.com. Several cities in Texas have consistently placed in the top rankings regarding housing demand. Further, booming areas such as Miami, Virginia Beach, Richmond and Charlotte may reignite currently deflated sentiment for homebuilding stocks.
The Direxion ETF: For investors that view the glass as half-full, the Direxion Daily Homebuilders &amp; Supplies Bull 3X Shares (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NAIL#NYSE">NAIL</a>) offer the ultimate in speculation. A leveraged exchange-traded fund, NAIL seeks a return that is 300% of the performance of the Dow Jones U.S. Select Home Construction Index.
Fundamentally, one of the benefits of a 3X-leveraged fund is convenience. Typically, traders seeking to magnify their returns over a short time period use options, which introduce complexities. In contrast, investors can buy units of the NAIL ETF, much like buying shares of a publicly traded company. Further, NAIL covers a basket of securities, including names like DR Horton Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DHI#NYSE">DHI</a>) and Lennar Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LEN#NYSE">LEN</a>) (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LEN#NYSE">LEN</a>).
However, as a 3X-leveraged ETF, NAIL carries significant volatility risks. Notably, Direxion states that the fund should not be expected to provide three times the benchmark index's cumulative return for periods greater than a day. That's because exposure lasting longer than a day may expose the trader to valuation decay due to the effects of daily compounding.
Nevertheless, weekly returns of the NAIL fund over the trailing five years reflects an upward bias. Of the past 261 weeks, 146 weeks saw a positive return, reflecting a success ratio of 55.94%. What's more, there have been 12 weeks (not including last week) where NAIL lost 20% of value or more. Of this dataset, eight of the following weeks generated positive returns, with an average performance of 25.55% up.
Interestingly, in the business week ending Dec. 20, the 3X bull fund lost 21.66% of value.
The NAIL ETF: Although the leveraged housing fund was looking strong up until late November, economic and political uncertainties saw the ETF go negative for the year.
<ul>
<li>At the moment, the technical backdrop isn't enticing, with NAIL falling through its 50- and 200-day moving averages in late November and early December, respectively.</li>
<li>On the positive side, NAIL is trading above the critical $80 level, which previously acted as support throughout 2021.</li>
<li>Moving forward, it's imperative that the bulls establish a baseline of support here. This seems credible given the aforementioned upward bias, especially following a severe weekly correction.</li>

Investors Following Housing Sentiment May Consider Direxion's NAIL ETF

Nordstrom, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JWN#NYSE">JWN</a>) shares are trading lower. The company on Monday announced that the Nordstrom Family and Liverpool will acquire <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/12/n42646178/nordstrom-to-be-acquired-by-nordstrom-family-and-liverpool">all outstanding common shares of Nordstrom</a>. 
What To Know: Nordstrom said it signed a definitive agreement under which Erik, Pete, Jamie, other members of the Nordstrom family and Liverpool will acquire all shares not already owned by the parties in an all-cash transaction valued at approximately $6.25 billion on an enterprise basis. 
Under terms of the agreement, Nordstrom shareholders will receive $24.25 per share in cash, representing a premium of approximately 42% over the company&#8217;s share price as of March 18. Nordstrom said March 18 was the last day its stock traded unaffected by media speculation. 
The deal will also include a special dividend of up to 25 cents per share contingent on the transaction&#8217;s closing. The acquisition will result in Nordstrom becoming a private company. Following the close, the Nordstrom Family will own 50.1% of the company, with Liverpool holding 49.9%.
The Nordstrom Board has unanimously approved the proposed transaction upon the unanimous recommendation of a special committee of independent and disinterested directors that led the review and negotiation of this transaction. 
&#8220;Following a rigorous and independent evaluation and consultation with outside financial and legal advisors, the special committee unanimously concluded that this transaction offers greater value for all public shareholders at a significant premium to the unaffected share price,&#8221; said Eric Sprunk, chairman of the special committee.
JWN Price Action: Nordstrom shares were down 1.55% at $24.15 at the time of publication Monday, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro.</a>
