Decoding Oscar Health's Options Activity: What's the Big Picture?

When your last name is Buffett, people assume your bank account reflects it. But for Nicole Buffett, the reality was far different. In a <a href="https://www.marieclaire.com/culture/news/a2342/warren-buffett-granddaughter-nicole-buffett/">2008 Marie Claire interview</a>, the granddaughter of billionaire investor Warren Buffett says she grew up with financial limits most wouldn't expect from one of the world's richest families.
Buffett, known for his frugality and deep belief in self-sufficiency, agreed to cover his grandchildren's college expenses—but nothing more. Nicole, an artist, attended a prestigious art school on her grandfather's dime. But when she needed a simple futon for her off-campus apartment, the answer was a firm no.
"You know what the rules are: school expenses only," she recalls being told by Buffett's secretary when she called his office for assistance.
Don't Miss:
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">Are you rich?</a> Here&#8217;s what Americans think you need to be considered wealthy.</li>
<li>Warren Buffett once said, "If you don't find a way to make money while you sleep, you will work until you die."<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/warren-buffet-make-money-when-you-sleep"> Here&#8217;s how you can earn passive income with just $100.</a></li>
</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Growing Up Buffett: A Name That Opens Doors—But Not Wallets</h2>
Nicole was just four years old when her mother married Warren Buffett's youngest son, Peter, who later adopted her and her twin sister. They were raised as part of the Buffett family, with Nicole making regular visits to her grandfather's Omaha home—an unassuming house <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/02/43612207/warren-buffett-has-lived-in-his-31500-home-for-67-years-and-calls-it-one-of-his-best-investments-but-warned-a-house-can-be-a-nightmare">he purchased in 1958 for $31,500</a>.
Despite Buffett's wealth, extravagance wasn't part of the family playbook. In the interview, Nicole talked about the small but memorable gifts, like the crisp $100 bill <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/12/42317960/warren-buffett-used-to-gift-loved-ones-10000-cash-for-christmas-but-switched-to-stocks-with-a-note-cash-them-in-or-hold-onto-them">Warren handed her one Christmas</a>. Family vacations were comfortable but far from opulent, and the Buffett philosophy was clear: merit, not money, would dictate success.
"I didn't even understand how wealthy my grandfather was until I was 17," Nicole admitted. She learned about his fortune when he landed on the cover of Forbes as the richest man in America. Her classmates bombarded her with questions, but at home, the message remained the same: "We'll be living our lives the same way and doing what we always do."

Buffett's philosophy on wealth was ironclad. He often spoke about the "ovarian lottery," emphasizing that being born into privilege shouldn't mean unlimited handouts. His children attended public schools, shared a family car, and were raised with the expectation that they would forge their own paths.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Rift: From Buffett Granddaughter to Cut Off</h2>
While Nicole embraced the Buffett name, her connection to Warren came to a halt after she participated in "The One Percent," a documentary about wealth inequality. She spoke about her experience as part of one of the world's richest families—without her grandfather's permission.
In the film, she acknowledged that she had been fortunate to have her education covered but hinted at a desire for more involvement with the family fortune. "It would be nice to be involved with creating things for others with that money and to be involved in it. I feel completely excluded from it," she said while promoting the film on "<a href="https://www.oprah.com/oprahshow/class-in-america/all">Oprah</a>."
Her comments reportedly didn't sit well with Warren Buffett. Not long after, he made a point to clarify that, despite Peter's adoption, he did <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/09/40764691/i-have-not-emotionally-or-legally-adopted-you-warren-buffett-cut-off-his-granddaughter-and-she-c">not consider Nicole his granddaughter</a> "in a legal or emotional" sense.&nbsp;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Name, but Not the Fortune</h2>
Back in 2008, Nicole had told Marie Claire she was making a living as an artist, earning around $40,000 per year—far from the billionaire lifestyle people would assume comes with her last name.&nbsp;
"It's easy for people to assume that the last name comes with unlimited access," she has said. "But that's never been the case for me."
For Warren Buffett, the rules have always been clear. College? Covered. Anything beyond that? You're on your own—even if all you need is a futon.

Here's How Much $1000 Invested In Ovintiv 5 Years Ago Would Be Worth Today

Investors have reacted poorly to President Donald Trump&#8216;s tariff plans as markets <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/federal-reserve/25/02/43478246/market-inflation-bets-soar-as-10-year-breakeven-rate-hits-16-month-peak-it-will-slow-federal-reserve-policy-rate-cuts">price in inflation</a> and the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) briefly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/03/44317410/sp-500-enters-technical-correction-as-trade-war-fears-rattle-markets">entered correction territory</a> on March 13.
National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett defended Trump&#8217;s tariff decisions in an <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9sgYuLM-lYg&amp;ab_channel=CNBCTelevision">appearance</a> on CNBC Monday morning.
&#8220;If you run it out over 10 years, the amount of tariff revenue that we&#8217;ve already collected&#8230; adds up to about a trillion dollars over 10 years, a trillion dollars we could use to give everyone a tax cut or reduce the deficit,&#8221; Hassett said.
Tariffs are taxes paid by American importers that are often passed along to consumers through price hikes. Opponents of Trump&#8217;s tariffs say his plans are inflationary and have already damaged financial markets. Although some countries, such as Canada, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44281882/canada-retaliates-with-20b-in-tariffs-on-us-goods-amid-trade-war">have responded negatively</a> to Trump&#8217;s tariffs, Hassett expects others to change their policies.
&#8220;Our expectation is there will be a lot of countries that do respond favorably to President Trump&#8217;s negotiations. President Trump is very flexible, he says that over and over, but my guess is there&#8217;s going to be a lot of countries that don&#8217;t&#8230; the countries that don&#8217;t are going to have to pay the tariffs,&#8221; Hassett said.
Economists and experts are largely opposed to Hassett&#8217;s insinuations to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s/25/03/44205662/president-trump-wants-to-replace-income-tax-with-tariffs-national-economic-council-director-kevin-hassett-says">replace income taxes with tariffs</a>, citing tariffs&#8217; regressive nature that will leave low-income Americans paying more for goods.
Hassett says that between now and April 2, when Trump plans to implement reciprocal tariffs on other countries, &#8220;there will be some uncertainty&#8221; but thinks markets will see that Trump&#8217;s plans &#8220;make a great deal of sense.&#8221;

Tesla shares are trading lower after Mizuho cut its price target on the stock from $515 to $430. Additionally, reports of declining sales in various regions and protests outside of facilities may be weighing negatively on the stock.

Protalix has licensed to Pfizer Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PFE#NYSE">PFE</a>) the worldwide development and commercialization rights to taliglucerase alfa for the treatment of Gaucher disease, Protalix&#8217;s first product manufactured through ProCellEx, excluding in&nbsp;Brazil, where Protalix retains full rights. The FDA and the European Medicines Agency approved Protalix&#8217;s second product, Elfabrio, in&nbsp;May 2023.
&#8220;2024 was a record year in revenues from selling goods for Protalix, as we experienced increases in all three of our revenue streams, Chiesi, Pfizer, and Brazil,&#8221; said Dror Bashan, Protalix&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/03/n44352673/protalix-biotherapeutics-reports-fiscal-year-2024-financial-and-business-results" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">president and CEO</a>.
&#8220;We are pleased with the promising results from our first-in-human study of our gout candidate, PRX-115, in adult volunteers with elevated uric acid levels, and hope to build on this momentum with the goal of initiating a phase II clinical trial in patients with gout during the second half of 2025,&#8221; Bashan said. &#8220;At the same time, we continued to evaluate additional pipeline candidates, including PRX-119, for potential further development.&#8221; 
In&nbsp;September 2024, the company repaid its 7.50% Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Notes. The repayment of the convertible notes at maturity was financed entirely with available cash.
&#8220;Now that our debt is fully repaid and we no longer have outstanding warrants, our balance sheet is stronger and we are well-positioned to continue executing on our strategy through 2025 and beyond,&#8221; Bashan added.
In December, Chiesi and Protalix BioTherapeutics announced that the European Medicines Agency validated the Variation Submission for pegunigalsidase alfa to label a less frequent dosing regimen at a dose of 2 mg/kg body weight administered every four weeks in adult patients with Fabry disease. The currently approved dose of pegunigalsidase alfa is 1 mg/kg administered <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/12/n42385554/chiesi-global-rare-diseases-and-protalix-biotherapeutics-announce-validation-of-variation-submissi" rel="noreferrer noopener">every two weeks</a>.

U.S.-listed Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) exchange-traded funds are grappling with their most <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/03/44336034/new-etf-targets-convertible-bonds-of-bitcoin-holding-companies-like-strategy">prolonged stretch of net outflows</a> since their debut in January last year, as investors react to market volatility spurred by President Donald Trump's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/03/44349466/trump-trade-policy-a-big-headache-for-customers-says-apple-supplier-foxconns-ceo-very-very-hard-to-predict-how-things-will-develop">tariff-driven trade policies</a>.
What Happened: Over the past five weeks, the group of 12 Bitcoin ETFs has collectively shed more than $5.5 billion, according to <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-03-17/us-bitcoin-etfs-shed-5-5-billion-in-longest-run-of-outflows?embedded-checkout=true">data </a>compiled by Bloomberg.
The outflows, the longest since the funds launched, began shortly after Trump returned to the White House, illustrating that investor caution over trade tensions is currently outweighing the administration's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44301987/trumps-bitcoin-effect-up-50-in-first-terms-first-100-days-but-down-22-in-second-term-so-farwhats-next">crypto-friendly stance</a>.
"Bitcoin and crypto overall remain driven by the macro picture right now," said Greg Magadini, director of derivatives at Amberdata, in a note. "I don't expect Bitcoin to diverge from risk-assets for the time being."
Since hitting record highs following Trump's re-election in November, Bitcoin has faced mounting pressure, falling around 12% year-to-date. As of Friday morning in London, the digital asset was trading near $83,500.

Why It Matters: However, some market watchers believe the worst may be over for ETF redemptions.
Georgii Verbitskii, founder of crypto trading platform TYMIO, told Benzinga that ETF selling pressure has noticeably eased.
"Bitcoin ETF outflow is subsiding: Friday's sell-off was significantly lower in comparison to higher selling volumes observed in late February and early March," Verbitskii said. 
He noted that recent withdrawals likely reflect short-term volatility rather than a broader exit trend. 
"The market is currently in a brittle balance, and the situation with ETFs could turn positive closer to the weekend if Nasdaq stabilizes and the VIX gets back to normal."
Verbitskii added that the fading negative momentum in ETFs could set the stage for a recovery, should market conditions improve. 
For now, however, global risk aversion—sparked by trade tensions and wider macroeconomic uncertainty—continues to weigh on crypto assets alongside traditional equities.

Market Whales and Their Recent Bets on NOW Options

Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>) has seen a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/dogecoin-doge-price-prediction">sharp 38% decline in the past month</a>, wiping out its annual gains despite multiple catalysts for a broader crypto market rally.  
What Happened: Launched in March 2015, Dogecoin traded relatively flat until May 2021.
Its biggest rally occurred in May 2021, when Elon Musk called it a "hustle" on Saturday Night Live, sending DOGE to an all-time high of $0.7376. DOGE is currently trading around 77% lower.
In December 2024, DOGE saw another surge, fueled by a broader crypto market rally. 
A third major rally happened in January 2025 when traders speculated about the possibility of a new ATH.
Despite these price surges, DOGE has struggled to maintain momentum, even after the creation of the Department of Government Efficiency (D.O.G.E.), led by Elon Musk. 
The hype surrounding DOGE's adoption in political and institutional circles wasn't enough to keep prices elevated.

Why It Matters: Institutional adoption, however, continues to grow. On Jan. 31, Grayscale Investments launched the Grayscale Dogecoin Trust, providing institutional investors with exposure to DOGE. 
The meme coin's widespread accessibility, affordability and rapid transaction speeds have led DOGE to garner significant adoption worldwide.
Speculation about a Dogecoin ETF is increasing, as Bitwise, Rex Shares, and Osprey Funds have all filed S-1 applications for approval.
What's Next: With uncertainty still hanging over the broader crypto market, altcoins remain in limbo, waiting to rally alongside Bitcoin. 
Crypto analyst Ali Martinez has pointed out that DOGE is now at a critical juncture, facing an important test: Will it break out or hold firm at current levels?

Dogecoin Was Worth $50 Billion On Donald Trump's Inauguration Day: It's Now Down To $25 Billion

Elon Musk has always spoken his mind, and when it comes to his tweets, he makes it known he won&#8217;t hold back—even if it impacts him and his businesses financially.
In a viral 2023 <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6sUwRiIncKU">interview</a> with CNBC, Musk was asked if his controversial tweets could alienate potential Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) buyers or X advertisers. His response was, "I'll say what I want, and if the consequence of that is losing money, so be it." He also quoted a scene from &#8220;The Princess Bride&#8221;—&#8221;Offer me money, offer me power, I don&#8217;t care.&#8221;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Musk's Controversial Statements and Backlash</h2>
The interview came just a day after Musk posted inflammatory tweets about billionaire George Soros, saying he "wants to erode the very fabric of civilization" and that he "hates humanity." Musk also compared Soros to Magneto, the supervillain from the "X-Men" comics. Critics, including Israel's Foreign Affairs Ministry, condemned the remarks, saying they had "antisemitic overtones."
When pressed on the criticism, Musk denied he was antisemitic, saying, "I'm a pro-Semite, if anything."
During the interview, Musk also defended a tweet where he questioned whether a mass shooting at a Texas mall was a "bad psyop."

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Twitter's Financial Struggles and Leadership Change</h2>
Since Musk took over Twitter in late 2022, the platform has seen a sharp decline in advertising revenue as brands reassess their relationship with the company. His unapologetic stance on free speech has driven away some advertisers, but Musk remains firm in his approach.
To help stabilize Twitter's business, Musk appointed Linda Yaccarino as CEO in May 2023, signaling an effort to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/25/01/42887042/x-ceo-linda-yaccarino-talks-free-speech-elon-musk-and-advertising-holy-grail-at-ces">regain advertiser trust</a> while he focuses on product and technology development.
Musk also used the interview to reiterate his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/43306967/elon-musk-slams-work-from-home-as-messed-up-and-morally-wrong-meanwhile-remote-workers-quietly-sneak-in-three-day-weekends-every-week">strong opposition to remote work</a>, calling it not just a productivity issue but a moral one. He argued that office employees should not have the privilege of working from home when blue-collar workers don't have the same option.
"People who make your food, fix your house—they can't work from home, but you can? Does that seem morally right? That's messed up," he said. Musk, who has been in Washington, D.C., since the inauguration, is currently working remotely for all the companies where he serves as CEO, including Tesla, SpaceX, Neuralink, and xAI.

If They Could Show A Plan For Ending World Hunger He'd Donate $6 Billion – ‘I Will Sell Tesla Stock Right Now And Do It'</a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How Politics Are Affecting Musk's Tesla Brand</h2>
Musk's political alignment is increasingly shaping Tesla's public image, with analysts warning that his support for former President Donald Trump could be hurting the brand.
Trump announced on March 11 that he plans to buy a Tesla as a show of support for the company, which has faced boycotts and even vandalism. However, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44268904/elon-musks-current-leadership-situation-is-not-sustainable-for-shareholders-says-tesla-bull-needs-to-strike-a-balance-with-doge">Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives</a> believes the move could backfire.
"Tesla is becoming a political symbol of Trump and DOGE, and that is a bad thing for the brand," Ives <a href="https://apnews.com/article/tesla-stock-musk-trump-evs-sales-b3118cbab69fbfaa3abcceb059ba8c58">told</a> the Associated Press. "You think it's helping, but it's actually hurting."
Tesla's stock has suffered a massive sell-off, plunging 45% in 2025 alone. On March 10, Tesla shares tumbled over 15% to $222.15, marking one of the worst single-day losses in the company's history. Many attribute this drop to Musk's close ties with Trump and far-right movements worldwide.
Trump, in a post on Truth Social, <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114141854575248527">claimed</a> that "Radical Left Lunatics" were attempting to "illegally and collusively boycott Tesla." Musk, <a href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1899202765781450951">responding</a> on X, said he remains confident in the company's long-term prospects.
