KLA Options Trading: A Deep Dive into Market Sentiment

<p>Kevin O'Leary, known for his straightforward attitude on Shark Tank, recently stated that you don't have to love Donald Trump to appreciate his policies. In a recent <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DAEDN5TLnmY">appearance</a> on Fox Business, O'Leary praised the president-elect&#8217;s pro-business strategies, saying they are exactly what America needs to boost the economy and create jobs.</p>
<p>O'Leary is working on a massive project in Alberta, Canada – supposedly the world's largest AI data center. However, his attention is equally focused on the U.S., where he believes Trump's policies could fast-track similar ventures. Trump recently promised expedited permits for large infrastructure projects, something O'Leary says would be a game-changer.</p>
<p><strong>Don't Miss:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>‘Scrolling To UBI' — Deloitte's #1 fastest-growing software company allows users to earn money on their phones. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mode-mobile-2"><strong>You can invest today for just $0.26/share with a $1000 minimum.</strong></a></strong></li>
<li><strong>The global games market is projected to generate $272B by the end of the year —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/gameflip"><strong> </strong><strong>for $0.55/share, this VC-backed startup with a 7M+ userbase gives investors easy access to this asset market.</strong></a></strong></li>
</ul>
<p>"If he can deliver that," O'Leary said, "it's going to bring capital back to the United States." He explained that permitting delays often scare off investors and stall big projects. By cutting red tape, Trump's plan could open the floodgates for investment, particularly in the energy and tech sectors, per O&#8217;Leary.</p>
<p>The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/12/42486613/kevin-oleary-has-recently-noted-the-increasing-demand-for-data-centers-describing-them-as-a-notable-combination-of-real-estate-and-technology-with-considerable-potential">AI data center</a> he is building in Canada will rely on natural gas turbines for power, an interim solution until nuclear energy becomes more viable. He is also exploring similar projects in West Virginia and North Dakota but says U.S. permitting delays are a major hurdle.</p>
<p>According to O'Leary, Trump's promise to simplify the permitting process is exactly what is needed to turn these ideas into reality.</p>
<p><strong>Trending: It&#8217;s no wonder Jeff Bezos holds over $70 million in art — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks"><strong>this alternative asset has outpaced the S&amp;P 500 since 1995, delivering an average annual return of 11.4%. Here&#8217;s how everyday investors are getting started.</strong></a></strong></p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Jobs and Economic Growth</h2>
<p>O'Leary also believes that policies promoting infrastructure and energy projects will create significant jobs. "This is what we need," he said. "You can still hate Trump, but you've got to love his policies because that will bring jobs to these states."</p>
<p>O'Leary argues that these initiatives can breathe new life into local economies by cutting through bureaucracy and encouraging private investment. He is particularly optimistic about how such policies can attract capital, boost industries and ultimately create long-term stability.</p>
<p>Critics fear that cutting corners on permits could result in problems for the environment and public safety. Some contend that these rules prioritize corporations over regular citizens. O&#8217;Leary, however, is adamant and emphasizes the necessity of bold action to boost businesses and lessen supposed dependency on imported energy.</p>

<p>O'Leary is focused on outcomes. For him, it is not about politics – it is about what works. Whether AI data centers in Canada or energy projects in the U.S., he sees Trump's business-first approach as a blueprint for success.</p>
<p>In October, O'Leary also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/11/41750727/kevin-oleary-supports-elon-musks-2-trillion-plan-to-slash-government-spending-with-trumps-backing-it">weighed in on Elon Musk's ambitious $2 trillion plan</a> to slash federal spending. Backed by Trump, Musk is proposed to lead the so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) in Trump&#8217;s second term. O'Leary called for Musk's cost-cutting expertise to be unleashed across federal agencies. "Let them in there and come back with a shopping list of ideas and let's debate it. Why not? We need to find some savings," he said.</p>

<h2>All You Need to Know About AT&amp;T</h2>
<p>The wireless business contributes nearly 70% of AT&amp;T's revenue. The firm is the third-largest US wireless carrier, connecting 72 million postpaid and 17 million prepaid phone customers. Fixed-line enterprise services, which account for about 15% of revenue, include internet access, private networking, security, voice, and wholesale network capacity. Residential fixed-line services, about 11% of revenue, primarily consist of broadband internet access, serving 14 million customers. AT&amp;T also has a sizable presence in Mexico, with 23 million customers, but this business only accounts for 4% of revenue. The firm recently agreed to sell its 70% equity stake in satellite television provider DirecTV to its partner, private equity firm TPG.</p>
<h3>Understanding the Numbers: AT&amp;T's Finances</h3>
<p><strong>Market Capitalization:</strong> Exceeding industry standards, the company's market capitalization places it above industry average in size relative to peers. This emphasizes its significant scale and robust market position.</p>
<p><strong>Negative Revenue Trend:</strong> Examining AT&amp;T's financials over 3 months reveals challenges. As of 30 September, 2024, the company experienced a decline of approximately <strong>-0.45%</strong> in revenue growth, reflecting a decrease in top-line earnings. When compared to others in the Communication Services sector, the company faces challenges, achieving a growth rate lower than the average among peers.</p>
<p><strong>Net Margin:</strong> AT&amp;T's net margin is below industry averages, indicating potential challenges in maintaining strong profitability. With a net margin of <strong>-0.75%,</strong> the company may face hurdles in effective cost management.</p>
<p><strong>Return on Equity (ROE):</strong> AT&amp;T's ROE excels beyond industry benchmarks, reaching <strong>-0.22%</strong>. This signifies robust financial management and efficient use of shareholder equity capital.</p>
<p><strong>Return on Assets (ROA):</strong> AT&amp;T's ROA falls below industry averages, indicating challenges in efficiently utilizing assets. With an ROA of <strong>-0.06%,</strong> the company may face hurdles in generating optimal returns from its assets.</p>
<p><strong>Debt Management:</strong> With a below-average debt-to-equity ratio of <strong>1.43</strong>, AT&amp;T adopts a prudent financial strategy, indicating a balanced approach to debt management.</p>
<h2>The Significance of Analyst Ratings Explained</h2>
<p>Ratings come from analysts, or specialists within banking and financial systems that report for specific stocks or defined sectors (typically once per quarter for each stock). Analysts usually derive their information from company conference calls and meetings, financial statements, and conversations with important insiders to reach their decisions.</p>
<p>Beyond their standard evaluations, some analysts contribute predictions for metrics like growth estimates, earnings, and revenue, furnishing investors with additional guidance. Users of analyst ratings should be mindful that this specialized advice is shaped by human perspectives and may be subject to variability.</p>

Ford Motor Unusual Options Activity For December 24

<p>In an eye-opening interview with co-host George Kamel in September 2024, financial expert Dave Ramsey made it crystal clear that wealth isn't about how much you earn – it's about how much you keep. And for many Americans, even those pulling in six figures, the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/12/42514449/dave-ramsey-says-his-wife-wanted-to-leave-him-but-she-didnt-have-a-car-hitting-rock-bottom-financially-almost-ended-his-marriage">harsh reality is they're still broke</a>.</p>
<p>"Your income doesn't determine wealth," Ramsey said, cutting through the noise. "If you make $200,000 a year but owe $300,000 on cars, student loans and other debts, you're broke. You just happen to be a broke person who makes a lot of money."</p>
<p><strong>Don't Miss:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">Are you rich?</a></strong><strong> Here&#8217;s what Americans think you need to be considered wealthy.</strong></li>
<li><strong>Deloitte's fastest-growing software company partners with Amazon, Walmart &amp; Target – <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mode-mobile-2"><strong>Last Chance to get 4,000 of its pre-IPO shares for just $0.26/share!</strong></a></strong></li>
</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Shocking Reality</h2>
<p>Ramsey's no-frills definition of broke is simple: negative net worth. It's not about the paycheck size but what's left after debts, bills and financial commitments. Surprisingly, this reality applies to nearly every income bracket:</p>
<ul>
<li>28% of Americans earning $100,000 – $200,000 report excessive debt.</li>
<li>14.6% of those making over $200,000 admit to being financially strained, according to PYMNTS. </li>
</ul>
<p>According to Fox 5 San Diego, only 10% of households earn more than $200,000 annually.&nbsp;</p>
<p>And it's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/12/42350109/are-you-earning-enough-to-be-considered-rich-heres-what-the-top-5-are-raking-in-annually">not just about income</a>. Ramsey warns that the lifestyle of "looking rich" is often just a façade. "These people walking around looking like they're rich? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/07/39821566/dave-ramsey-slams-instagram-rich-your-fancy-friends-are-probably-broke">Most of them aren't</a>," he added.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Kamel chimed in with his own words of wisdom, saying, "when you live fake rich, you become real broke."</p>
<p><strong>See Also: Can you guess how many Americans successfully retire with $1,000,000 saved?<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/1milsaved"><strong> The percentage may shock you</strong></a>.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Breaking Free from the Debt Trap</strong></p>
<p>So, how do you escape the cycle? Ramsey's advice is rooted in timeless principles:</p>
<p>1. Live Below Your Means: Spending less than you earn is nonnegotiable.</p>
<p>2. Pay Down Debt: Prioritize wiping out liabilities to build positive net worth.</p>
<p>3. Plan Long-Term: Invest and save for the future, not just the next paycheck.</p>
<p>He elaborated, using his classic farmer analogy: "I've done the work of planting the field. A bumper crop comes in because of sunshine and rain – blessings from God. But if I sow sparingly, I'll reap sparingly. You've got to do the work: save, invest and watch it grow."</p>
<p><strong>Trending: The average American couple has saved this much money for retirement —<a href="http://www.benzinga.com/money/smartasset"><strong> </strong><strong>How do you compare</strong></a>?</strong></p>
<p><strong>Contentment vs. Ambition: Finding the Balance</strong></p>
<p>When Kamel pressed Ramsey on how to balance ambition with contentment, the response was both spiritual and practical. "Godliness with contentment is great gain," Ramsey explained, quoting Scripture. He added that being content doesn't mean lacking drive. "I work hard because I love what I do. Ambition and contentment aren't opposites – they're complements."</p>
<p><strong>Are You Broke in Ramsey's Eyes?</strong></p>
<p>At the heart of Ramsey's philosophy is a stark reminder: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/12/42399132/can-you-guess-the-average-net-worth-of-the-above-average-married-couple">wealth isn't about income</a>; it's about financial freedom. No matter how much you make, if your lifestyle and debts leave you scrambling to pay bills, you're stuck in the broke cycle.</p>
<p>So, would Ramsey consider you broke? The answer lies in your ability to live debt-free, save intentionally and plan for a future where your money works for you – not the other way around.</p>
