The over&nbsp;four-year-long legal battle between blockchain company Ripple Labs and the Securities and Exchange Commission could conclude soon, a Fox Business journalist reported Wednesday.
What Happened: Eleanor Trett posted on X that the high-profile case was in the process of &#8220;wrapping up&#8221; and could be over soon, citing &#8220;well-placed&#8221; sources.
Trett said that&nbsp;Ripple&#8217;s legal team was negotiating&nbsp;favorable terms regarding the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/08/40240559/xrp-outshines-bitcoin-ethereum-to-become-biggest-daily-gainer-after-judge-imposes-125m-pen">August&nbsp;district court ruling</a> that imposed a $125 million fine on the company and an injunction against future securities law violations.

According to Trett, Ripple argues that if the new&nbsp;SEC leadership is <a href="http://benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/03/44100314/sec-drops-lawsuit-against-crypto-exchange-kraken-ceo-calls-it-massive-win-bayc-nft-creator-yuga-labs-also-gets-reprieve">not proceeding with enforcement action </a>against all previously targeted cryptocurrency firms due to belief in regulatory clarity resolving the underlying issue, it should not be penalized as well.
A Ripple Labs spokesperson declined to share any update on the lawsuit to Benzinga.

XRP Ticks Higher On News That Ripple-SEC Case Could End Soon—Legal Team Reportedly Negotiating More 'Favorable Terms' On $125 Million Fine

Frog-themed cryptocurrency Pepe (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">PEPE</a>) spearheaded Wednesday&#8217;s memecoin rally, clocking double-digit gains.
What happened: The Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>)-based token soared over 15%, becoming the best-performing meme coin in the last 24 hours.&nbsp;
The coin's trading volume leaped 8% to $950 million, making it the second-most traded meme coin in the last 24 hours.&nbsp;
A few crucial technical indicators turned bullish for the coin following the rally.&nbsp;
The Moving Average Convergence Divergence indicator, which compares two exponential moving averages of an asset&#8217;s price indicator, flashed a &#8220;Buy&#8221; signal for PEPE, <a href="https://in.tradingview.com/symbols/PEPEUSDT/technicals/">according</a> to TradingView. The Momentum indicator also painted a bullish narrative.

The speculative interest also surged. The Open Interest in PEPE futures spiked 8.60% in the last 24 hours to $220 million, the highest it has been in over ten days, <a href="https://www.coinglass.com/BitcoinOpenInterest">according</a> to Coinglass.
Why It Matters: Well-known analyst Max Schwartzman compared PEPE's price action against Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>), calling the pair "incredibly good."
&#8220;This is THE SIGNAL for memes&#8230; how they pair against the <a href="https://twitter.com/search?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1899884367146561567%7Ctwgr%5E17802b23c6ad4a8134c57a2a6739024d12fa17d3%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Feditorial.benzinga.com%2Fwp-admin%2Fpost-new.php&amp;q=%24BTC&amp;src=cashtag_click" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">BTC</a> of meme coins ($DOGE),&#8221; the analyst added.
"This helped me catch the generational entry on PEPE back in 2023. A second chance is brewing here for those who missed it last run," the analyst opined.

Pepe Leads Memecoin Rally With 15% Spike—Analyst Describes 'Incredibly Good' Looking PEPE-DOGE Pair As 'Generational Entry' Opportunity

U.S. markets rallied on Wednesday after <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/03/44274165/inflation-cools-more-than-expected-in-february-strengthens-the-case-for-fed-rate-cuts">February&#8217;s inflation report came in softer than anticipated</a>, bolstering expectations for Federal Reserve rate cuts while investors reassess the economic impact of President Donald Trump administration&#8217;s policies.
What Happened: Allianz Chief Economic Advisor Mohamed El-Erian noted on X that &#8220;US CPI was softer than the consensus forecasts,&#8221; with monthly inflation at 0.2% for both core and headline figures versus the expected 0.3%. Annual inflation eased to 3.1% for core and 2.8% for the headline, below forecasts of 3.2% and 2.9% respectively.
&#8220;Markets will see the numbers as warranting higher optimism about a &#8216;Fed Put&#8217; at a time when their hope for a &#8216;Trump Put&#8217; has been shaken,&#8221; El-Erian wrote, referencing market expectations that the Fed would intervene if economic conditions deteriorate.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>

The Consumer Price Index report marked the first decline after four consecutive months of rising price pressures. The shelter index climbed 0.3%, contributing nearly half of February&#8217;s overall monthly increase, while travel-related items were soft, with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/03/44274165/inflation-cools-more-than-expected-in-february-strengthens-the-case-for-fed-rate-cuts">airline fares dropping 4.0%</a>.
Major indices responded positively to the inflation data, with the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) up 0.53%, and the Invesco QQQ Trust (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>) gaining 1.13% at Wednesday&#8217;s close.

Why It Matters: Following the data release, traders fully priced in three Federal Reserve rate cuts in 2025, according to the CME FedWatch Tool, as policymakers weigh inflation progress against signs of economic deceleration.
Bill Adams, chief economist for Comerica Bank, said inflation is moving in the &#8220;right direction,&#8221; <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44280431/cpi-reactions">making Fed rate cuts more likely</a>. However, he cautioned that &#8220;the range of outcomes feels wider than usual given the unpredictability of the policies affecting prices and the job market.&#8221;
The economic outlook has shifted dramatically in recent weeks amid concerns over Trump&#8217;s trade and fiscal policies. Investors who initially predicted faster growth under Trump have grown cautious, with bond markets signaling recession fears as two-year Treasury yields have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44211421/us-economy-teetering-recession-may-be-looming-as-bond-market-reacts-to-trump-policies">fallen significantly since mid-February</a>.

Mohamed El-Erian Says 'Fed Put' Optimism Rises As Inflation Cools—But 'Trump Put' Hopes Are Shaken

On Wednesday, Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) won an emergency legal ruling to block the promotion of a memoir written by a <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/03/44212431/meta-whistleblower-alleges-zuckerberg-offered-china-full-censorship-control-and-user-data-access-in-desperate-bid-to-enter-market-working-hand-in-glove-with-the-chinese-communist-party-and-lying-about-it">former high-ranking employee</a> who claims the company ignored sexual harassment complaints and quietly built censorship tools for China.
What Happened: Sarah Wynn-Williams, who worked at Facebook from 2011 to 2017 and interacted with top executives, including CEO Mark Zuckerberg and then-COO Sheryl Sandberg, released a book titled &#8220;Careless People&#8221; this week.&nbsp;
In it, she accuses Joel Kaplan, Meta's longtime policy chief, of making remarks she reported as sexual harassment, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/10/books/review/careless-people-sarah-wynn-williams.html">reported</a> the New York Times. Wynn-Williams also accuses Sandberg of inappropriate behavior while describing her &#8220;Lean In&#8221; narrative as a cover for &#8220;unspoken rules&#8221; about &#8220;obedience and closeness,&#8221; according to the Times. 
Wynn-Williams also alleged that Meta developed censorship tools to win favor with the Chinese Communist Party, a claim she echoed in a whistleblower complaint filed with the SEC in April.

Meta responded by filing an emergency motion, citing a violation of a 2017 non-disparagement agreement.
The arbitrator ruled in Meta's favor, barring Wynn-Williams from promoting or further distributing the book, and ordering her to retract prior remarks. "Immediate and irreparable loss will result in the absence of emergency relief," the arbitrator wrote.
Meta spokesperson Andy Stone took to Threads and called the book "false and defamatory," adding that Wynn-Williams "deliberately concealed" the project and avoided industry-standard fact-checking.

Why It's Important: Earlier this week, Meta was highlighted as a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44214169/mark-zuckerbergs-meta-platforms-a-lucrative-bet-as-investors-favor-less-leveraged-tech-stocks-says-expert-amid-mag7s-2025-underperformance">lucrative investment</a> due to its less leveraged position compared to other tech giants, despite the underperformance of the &#8216;Magnificent 7&#8217; stocks in 2025.

Price Action: Meta&#8217;s stock closed Wednesday&#8217;s regular session at $619.56, rising 2.29%. In after-hours trading, it added another 0.47%. Year to date, the stock is up 3.39%, and over the past 12 months, it has climbed 23.97%, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

Meta Wins Ruling To Block Whistleblower Who Worked With Mark Zuckerberg And Sheryl Sandberg — Book Alleges Harassment And Shady China Strategy

Congressional leaders intensified rhetoric on Wednesday over the impending government shutdown, with just two days remaining before federal funding expires at midnight on Friday.
What Happened: Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) declared that Democrats are unified behind a &#8220;clean 30-day CR&#8221; while rejecting the House-passed Republican funding bill. 
&#8220;Republicans chose a partisan path, drafting their Continuing Resolution without any input from Congressional Democrats,&#8221; Schumer wrote on X. &#8220;Because of that, Republicans do not have the votes in the Senate to pass the House CR.&#8221;

Chuck Schumer Blames GOP For 'Partisan Path' As Shutdown Nears—Republicans Say 'Democrats' Fault' If Government Closes

Wall Street saw a strong rebound on Wednesday as major indices snapped a two-day losing streak. The S&amp;P 500 gained 0.5% to close at 5,599.30, while the Nasdaq surged 1.2% to 17,648.45. However, the Dow Jones Industrial Average dipped 0.2% to 41,350.93. The rally was fueled by a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/03/44275575/wall-street-rockets-as-february-inflation-cools-more-than-expected">cooler-than-expected inflation report</a>, which bolstered expectations for monetary easing and led traders to fully price in three Federal Reserve rate cuts in 2025.

Intel, D-Wave Quantum, Adobe, Nvidia, And Tesla: Why These 5 Stocks Are On Investors' Radars Today

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) will likely face <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44285277/trump-buys-tesla-model-s-plaid-gary-black-calls-endorsement-potentially-huge-says-it-could-drive-1-7">near-term delivery challenges</a> before experiencing significant growth in 2026, according to Gene Munster, Managing Partner at Deepwater Asset Management.
What Happened: Munster wrote on X Wednesday that CEO Elon Musk &#8220;is bullish on Tesla&#8217;s output expansion, expecting it to double in the next couple of years.&#8221; However, Munster forecasts Tesla deliveries will decline 5% in 2025 before surging 40% in 2026.
This prediction comes as Musk announced Tesla&#8217;s commitment to doubling U.S. vehicle production within two years &#8220;in support of the policies of President Donald Trump&#8221; and to &#8220;demonstrate our confidence in the future of the United States.&#8221;
The expansion timeline aligns with previous company statements. Tesla mentioned plans to increase capacity by 60% this year during its last earnings report, which Munster notes implies &#8220;an additional 25% capacity growth in 2026.&#8221;
Munster acknowledged this expansion would be &#8220;negative for near-term cash flow and positive for long-term margins.&#8221; The key question, he added, is &#8220;will consumers buy that increased capacity?&#8221;

Why It Matters: Tesla faces significant headwinds. According to S&amp;P Global Mobility data, the company&#8217;s U.S. registrations dropped 11% in January while competitors saw a 44% increase. European registrations fell by more than 50% <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44283118/tesla-loses-ground-in-us-ev-market-while-rivals-accelerate-ahead-in-january-report">year-over-year</a>.
Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives, despite maintaining a bullish outlook on Tesla, expressed <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">concerns about Musk&#8217;s divided attention</a> between Tesla and his role in Trump&#8217;s Department of Government Efficiency. Ives stated that the &#8220;current leadership situation is not sustainable for Tesla shareholders.&#8221;
Tesla&#8217;s stock has declined over 50% from recent highs, with protests emerging in the U.S. and Europe criticizing Musk&#8217;s political activities. The company&#8217;s first-quarter earnings report in April may provide crucial insights into whether it can <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44283118/tesla-loses-ground-in-us-ev-market-while-rivals-accelerate-ahead-in-january-report">reverse these negative trends</a>.

What Happened: Bitcoin surpassed $84,000 in the early morning hours, but profit-taking swiftly reversed the gains. The leading cryptocurrency progressively increased and stabilized in the $83,000 region.
The day saw video-sharing platform Rumble Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RUM#NASDAQ">RUM</a>) announcing <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/03/44281569/rumble-buys-bitcoin-a-valuable-hedge-against-inflation">a $17 million Bitcoin purchase</a> for its Treasury.

Long liquidations hit $150 million, while $119 million in downside bets were erased in the last 24 hours. About $500 million in shorts risked liquidation if Bitcoin rallied to $86,800.
Bitcoin's Open Interest rose 1.44% over the last 24 hours. Interestingly, the number of traders positioned short on the apex digital asset surpassed longs, according to the Long/Short Ratio.
The market remained in the "Fear" zone, according to the Crypto Fear and Greed Index, suggesting potential for further downsides.

The global cryptocurrency market capitalization stood at $2.71 trillion, following an increase of 0.68% in the last 24 hours.
Major stock averages recuperated on Wednesday. The S&amp;P 500 rose 0.49% to close at 5,599.30. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite gained 1.22%, ending at 17,648.45. Conversely, the Dow Jones Industrial Average recorded the third straight losing day of the week, closing 0.20% lower at 41,350.93.

While the likelihood of rate cuts appeared slim at the March and May meetings, traders have priced in a 68% chance of a 25 basis point rate drop in June, <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">according </a>to the CME FedWatch tool.

Bitcoin, Dogecoin Rise, Ethereum Trades Flat On Cooler-Than-Expected Inflation: Top Analyst Anticipates BTC's Bullish Breakout Toward $91,000

Joey Bosa may be suiting up for a new NFL team this season, but off the field, he's already built the kind of empire that could outlast any football career.
A New Jersey, A New Chapter
Earlier this week, it was <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6184382/2025/03/11/joey-bosa-free-agency-signing-bills/">reported</a> that Bosa has agreed to a one-year, $12.6 million deal with the Buffalo Bills, edging out strong interest from both the San Francisco 49ers—home to his brother Nick Bosa—and the Miami Dolphins, where his father once played.
At 29, the four-time Pro Bowler is looking to bounce back from recent injuries that limited his snap count, but his off-field game might be even more impressive.

Inside The $5.85 Million Florida Fortress
Following his massive five-year, $135 million contract extension with the Chargers in 2020, Bosa purchased a stunning modern waterfront mansion in his hometown of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, <a href="https://www.latimes.com/business/real-estate/story/2021-10-26/chargers-star-joey-bosa-buys-house-on-the-water-in-hometown-fort-lauderdale">for</a> $5.85 million.
Located just a few miles from his alma mater, St. Thomas Aquinas High School, where he earned recognition as a four-star football recruit, this property was designed by architecture firm KoDA Miami.
According <a href="https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/2401-Solar-Plaza-Dr-Fort-Lauderdale-FL-33301/103036576_zpid/">to</a> Zillow, this luxurious single-family home was built in 2019. Spanning 5,482 square feet, it features five bedrooms and seven bathrooms (6 full and one half). The property sits on a 7,501 sqft lot, offering bayfront and lakefront views with unrestricted saltwater access.
The home boasts high-end amenities, including a wet bar, elevator, central vacuum system, walk-in closets, a media room, and a dedicated office space. The master bedroom is upstairs, while at least one bedroom is on the ground level. The modern kitchen includes premium appliances such as a dishwasher, dryer, garbage disposal, range/oven, refrigerator, trash compactor, and washer.
Additional highlights include a three-car garage, in-ground pool, and stucco/cement exterior. The home is equipped with forced air, electric, and gas heating, as well as central cooling. Security features include a gated and guarded community.
Beyond The Blitz: Real Estate And Startups
But Bosa's investments don't stop at Florida's waterfront. He has <a href="https://sports.hindipa.com/joey-bosa-net-worth-endorsements/#Current_NFL_Contract_and_Salary_in_2025">reportedly</a> diversified into luxury real estate in California also and put money into tech startups—particularly those focused on sports performance and athlete wellness. Previously, it was reported that he's also exploring sports media ventures, hinting at a possible post-NFL career behind the camera.
Millionaire Moves: Cars, Travel, And Philanthropy
Bosa's lifestyle is as elevated as his pass-rushing skills. His car collection reportedly includes a Lamborghini Urus, Ferrari 488, and a custom Jeep Wrangler. When he's not on the field or managing his portfolio, he's often spotted traveling across Europe or deep-sea fishing—his favorite off-season escape.
Off the field, Bosa is also deeply involved in philanthropy. He supports the American Cancer Society and has been an advocate for childhood cancer awareness through his work with More Than 4 Athletics and the NFL's Crucial Catch campaign.

Joey Bosa Reportedly Signed A $12.6M Deal With The Bills — But His Real Power Play Might Be The $5.85M Florida Mansion And A Portfolio Built For Life After The NFL

On Wednesday, Cathie Wood-led Ark Invest made significant trades involving Tempus AI Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TEM#NASDAQ">TEM</a>) and Rocket Lab USA Inc. (NCM: RKLB).
The Tempus AI Trade
Ark Invest&#8217;s ARK Innovation ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKK#NYSE">ARKK</a>) acquired 29,845 shares of Tempus AI, valued at approximately $1.36 million, based on the closing price of $45.50. This purchase aligns with Ark&#8217;s ongoing strategy to bolster its position in innovative technology sectors. Tempus AI recently announced its acquisition of Deep 6 AI, a move expected to enhance its network with over 750 provider site locations and access to more than 30 million patients. This acquisition is anticipated to strengthen Tempus AI&#8217;s market presence and capabilities.
Furthermore, Tempus AI&#8217;s recent earnings report revealed a <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/02/43927560/tempus-ai-q4-earnings-revenue-miss-eps-beat-strong-guidance-shares-move-lower">revenue miss but an earnings-per-share beat</a>, coupled with strong future guidance. The strategic acquisition of Deep 6 AI and the positive earnings outlook underscore Tempus AI&#8217;s potential for growth, making it an attractive investment.
Wood has been <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44267113/ark-invests-strategic-moves-tempus-ai-block-inc-and-draftkings-inc-in-focus">loading up on Tempus AI stock</a> in recent days. On Tuesday, Ark purchased $4.29 million worth of stock, while on Monday, amid the tech meltdown, the firm had scooped up stock worth $13.23 million.
The Rocket Lab Trade
Ark Invest also made notable moves involving Rocket Lab. The ARK Autonomous Technology &amp; Robotics ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKQ#NYSE">ARKQ</a>) and ARK Space Exploration &amp; Innovation ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKX#NYSE">ARKX</a>) collectively sold 41,839 shares of Rocket Lab, valued at approximately $771,092, based on the closing price of $18.43. This sale comes amid Rocket Lab&#8217;s recent announcement of being selected by Airbus SE to <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/03/44275713/why-rocket-lab-stock-is-gaining-today">supply solar panels</a> for 100 OneWeb Low Earth Orbit satellites, a development that has positively impacted Rocket Lab&#8217;s stock price.
Additionally, Rocket Lab recently inked a non-binding term sheet to acquire a controlling stake in Mynaric AG for $75 million, with an additional earn-out tied to future revenue targets. This acquisition aims to enhance Rocket Lab&#8217;s satellite technology capabilities, further solidifying its position in the aerospace sector.

On Wednesday, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) responded to House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) addressing the ongoing government shutdown debate. 
What Happened: Johnson claimed that the Democrats were responsible for the looming government shutdown. Ocasio-Cortez countered by emphasizing that Republicans control the House, Senate, and White House. 
She stated, &#8220;If you have the votes, then go ahead. If you need Democrats, then you need to negotiate with Democrats.&#8221; Her comments came after Johnson&#8217;s assertion that Senate Democrats must decide whether to keep the government funded or join House Democrats in shutting it down.

Ocasio-Cortez&#8217;s remarks highlight the political tension surrounding the government funding issue. The House recently passed a bill to prevent a shutdown through September 30, which now awaits Senate approval. The bill maintains previous spending levels, increases military funding by $6 billion, and reduces overall expenditures slightly.
Senate Democrats plan to block the Republicans&#8217; government funding bill, arguing it was drafted without their input and includes major cuts to non-defense programs, <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/03/12/shutdown-government-senate-democrats/">reported</a> The Washington Post.
With a shutdown looming in days, Democrats seek a temporary funding measure through April 11, while Republicans push for a longer-term solution through September. Some Democrats fear a shutdown could give President Donald Trump more control over government spending, while others believe it's an opportunity to exert leverage. The bill lacks enough Democratic support to clear a filibuster, leaving the possibility of last-minute negotiations to avoid a shutdown.

Why It Matters: The ongoing debate over government funding has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/politics/25/03/44265575/house-passes-bill-to-avert-government-shutdown-now-its-heading-to-the-senate">significant implications</a> for federal operations and political dynamics. The House&#8217;s passage of a funding bill aims to avert a shutdown, but it requires Senate approval. The bill&#8217;s provisions include increased military funding and cuts to certain projects, which could influence bipartisan support. 
Meanwhile, President Donald Trump&#8216;s recent tariff strategies have been criticized as potential distractions from the looming shutdown. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44134694/trumps-tariff-tactics-could-be-a-strategic-distraction-from-looming-government-shutdown-says-us-policy-strategist-he-may-be-seeking-shelter-from-other-stories">Greg Valliere</a>, a U.S. policy strategist, suggested that these tactics might be an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44134694/trumps-tariff-tactics-could-be-a-strategic-distraction-from-looming-government-shutdown-says-us-policy-strategist-he-may-be-seeking-shelter-from-other-stories">attempt to divert attention</a> from other issues.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Latest On Public Storage</h2>
On Feb. 24, the company announced its Q4 2024 earnings, posting FFO of $4.21, compared to the consensus estimate of $4.24, and revenues of $1.10 billion, compared to the consensus of $1.174 billion, as reported by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/02/43925752/public-storage-q4-2024-ffo-4-21-misses-4-24-estimate-sales-1-100-miss-1-174b-estimate">Benzinga</a>.
"Our fourth quarter performance reflected broad operational stabilization across the portfolio," said CEO Joe Russell. "In the new year, we are inspired by the strength of the Los Angeles community in response to the fires and are fully supporting impacted customers and team members. Due to the associated pricing restrictions, our guidance anticipates an approximate $0.23 per share impact to Core FFO in 2025 while portfolio operations outside of Los Angeles continue to improve."

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How Can You Earn $100 Per Month As A Public Storage Investor?</h2>
If you want to make $100 per month — $1,200 annually — from Public Storage dividends, your investment value needs to be approximately $31,414, which is around 100 shares at $313.98 each.&nbsp;
Understanding the dividend yield calculations: When making an estimate, you need two key variables — the desired annual income ($1,200) and the dividend yield (3.82% in this case). So, $1,200 / 0.0382 = $31,414 to generate an income of $100 per month.
You can calculate the dividend yield by dividing the annual dividend payments by the current price of the stock.
The dividend yield can change over time. This is the outcome of fluctuating stock prices and dividend payments on a rolling basis.

For instance, assume a stock that pays $2 as an annual dividend is priced at $50. Its dividend yield would be $2/$50 = 4%. If the stock price rises to $60, the dividend yield drops to 3.33% ($2/$60). A drop in stock price to $40 will have an inverse effect and increase the dividend yield to 5% ($2/$40).
In summary, income-focused investors may find Public Storage stock an attractive option for making a steady income of $100 per month by owning 100 shares of stock.&nbsp;

In an <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/why-social-securitys-former-head-is-worried-it-could-miss-payments-to-seniors-190352668.html">interview</a> with Yahoo Finance, O'Malley advised current beneficiaries to consider setting aside some extra money in case payments are delayed.
"If I were a beneficiary, I'd be setting aside some money right now," O'Malley said. His warning comes as the SSA faces significant staffing cuts and operational challenges under changes introduced by the Trump administration.

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Staffing Cuts and Leadership Changes at SSA</h2>
The SSA recently announced plans to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44153127/will-social-securitys-restructuring-impact-your-monthly-benefits-heres-what-to-know">reduce its workforce</a> to about 50,000 employees — down from about 57,000 today and 66,000 10 years ago — through cash buyouts and early retirement offers. The agency said these cuts would target "non-mission critical" positions, but O'Malley and other experts have raised concerns about how the reduction will affect the agency's ability to manage benefits and respond to system failures.
The Department of Government Efficiency, led by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44230403/elon-musk-blames-major-cyberattack-for-x-outage-hints-at-nation-backed-threat">Elon Musk</a> under the Trump administration, has been focused on cutting costs at federal agencies. According to <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/03/01/doge-actions-may-cause-social-security-benefit-interruption-ex-agency-head.html">CNBC</a>, the resulting staffing reductions have already caused disruptions, with two major IT outages affecting Social Security operations last year.
The SSA's computer systems, which run on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/02/43957909/social-security-in-uncertain-times-what-the-resignation-of-michelle-king-and-musks-doge-data-push-could-mean-for-beneficiaries-2">COBOL</a>, a decades-old programming language, require experienced staff to maintain them. Many of the agency's tech employees are approaching retirement age, raising fears that a loss of experienced personnel could increase the risk of system failures and payment delays.
Trending: Dogecoin millionaires are increasing –<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/dogecoin-millionaires"> investors with $1M+ in DOGE revealed!</a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Could Social Security Miss Payments?</h2>
Social Security has never missed a payment since the program began issuing monthly benefits over 80 years ago. However, O'Malley has said the current staffing cuts and IT challenges could lead to missed or delayed payments within the next 30 to 90 days.
"Ultimately, you're going to see the system collapse and an interruption of benefits," O'Malley told CNBC. He pointed out that SSA's outdated IT infrastructure requires regular updates to adjust for cost-of-living increases and other program changes — a process that depends heavily on experienced staff.
Marcela Escobar-Alava, the SSA's former chief information officer who resigned in January, echoed O'Malley's concerns. She said that even minor adjustments to benefit calculations require extensive testing to avoid system-wide failures. "Stuff will fail," she told Yahoo Finance. "And it's going to take time to recover. And, in some cases, if you don't have the talent, it may take days if not weeks."

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What Beneficiaries Should Know</h2>
If payment interruptions do occur, the impact could be significant. Social Security is a critical source of income for many Americans — about 21% of elderly recipients rely on the program for 90% or more of their household income, <a href="https://www2.census.gov/library/working-papers/2024/adrm/ces/CES-WP-24-32.pdf">according</a> to the U.S. Census Bureau.
Experts advise beneficiaries to prepare for potential delays by setting aside extra funds if possible. While Social Security payments are automated, changes to program rules or adjustments for cost-of-living increases require staff intervention. If staffing shortages delay these updates, it could disrupt payments.
Additionally, the SSA's ability to process new claims or respond to customer service inquiries may be affected. Processing times for disability applications, which currently average over six months, <a href="https://www.urban.org/urban-wire/downsizing-staff-will-make-it-harder-receive-social-security-payments">according</a> to the Urban Institute, could grow even longer under the staffing cuts.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Potential Long-Term Impacts</h2>
Nancy Altman, president of Social Security Works, a group that advocates for protecting Social Security, told Yahoo Finance that the planned staff reductions would "cripple" the agency's ability to function. She also expressed doubt that technological solutions like artificial intelligence could adequately replace human staff for tasks such as claim processing and customer service.
"The American public needs to understand that one of their major social safety nets is in dire jeopardy," Jill Hornick, an official at the American Federation of Government Employees union, told CNBC.
Despite these warnings, the SSA has not publicly addressed the risk of missed payments. However, O'Malley remains convinced that beneficiaries should prepare for potential delays. "I believe you will see that within the next 30 to 90 days," he said.

In a post on X, Cardone argued that tariffs are not a tax on consumers but rather an equalizer for global trade. His comments challenge the widely held belief that tariffs directly drive up prices for American consumers.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Cardone's View on Tariffs and Consumer Spending</h2>
In his <a href="https://x.com/GrantCardone/status/1897084964371628423">post</a> on X, Cardone wrote, "A tariff is NOT a consumer tax, it is an equalizer for global trade. Tariffs do not make goods and services more expensive — only the consumer can do that."

</ul>
Cardone shared his perspective during an interview with NBC's affiliate in San Jose, California, where he explained that tariffs only affect <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/02/43667632/inflation-rises-in-january-housing-costs-up-adding-to-consumers-2025-concerns">consumer costs</a> if people continue to purchase goods and services despite price increases. Using an example of a rubber duck imported from China, Cardone illustrated how tariffs could lead to higher prices — but only if consumers choose to continue buying the product.
"Well, just understand that the tariff is not imposed on you if you don&#8217;t buy the goods and services," Cardone told NBC. He said if China sends the U.S. a rubber duck that costs the consumer a dollar, they're going to buy it because it's inexpensive. But if Trump imposes a $99 tariff on that duck, raising the price for consumers, the consumer can choose not to buy it. "At which point somebody here would start building rubber ducks for a cheaper price."
Cardone also noted the imbalance in global trade policies, highlighting how U.S. exports often face steep tariffs abroad. He shared an example of Mercedes-Benz, which can ship cars to the U.S. without facing tariffs, while American vehicles like the Ford F-150 encounter high tariffs in European markets. Cardone argued that tariffs are a way to "level the playing field" in global trade.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Economists See Tariffs Differently</h2>
While Cardone presents tariffs as a tool to balance trade, many economists view them as harmful to the U.S. economy. According to CNBC, Moody's Chief Economist Mark Zandi described tariffs as a "lose-lose" for American jobs and industry.
"There are no winners here in the trade war we're seemingly being engulfed in," Zandi said.
The Trump administration has pursued broad <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/02/43427091/as-trump-imposes-tariffs-on-americas-3-largest-trading-partners-this-macro-strategist-calls-the-policy-a-tool-to-transition-us-to-a-more-sustainable-future-amid-grotesque-money-printing">tariffs on trading partners</a>, including China, Canada, and Mexico, aiming to protect domestic industries. However, economists argue that tariffs increase production costs, which can lead to higher consumer prices and job losses in sectors that rely on imported materials.
Lydia Cox, an assistant economics professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, <a href="https://economics.princeton.edu/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/cox_steel_20220601.pdf">wrote</a> that tariffs have "collateral damage" beyond their intended targets. For example, steel tariffs imposed during Trump's first term raised domestic steel prices by about 2% but also increased costs for industries that rely on steel, such as automobile manufacturing and construction.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Bigger Economic Picture</h2>
The broader <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/trumps-tarrifs-impact-on-us-dollar-and-currency-trading">impact of tariffs on the U.S. economy</a> remains mixed. While some targeted industries, such as steel production, have benefited from protectionist policies, other sectors have faced higher costs and retaliatory tariffs from trading partners.
Cardone's argument suggests that consumer behavior plays a key role in the outcome of tariff policies. If consumers shift their spending habits or domestic producers step in to replace imported goods, tariffs could create opportunities for U.S.-based businesses.
However, economists caution that the long-term effects of tariffs — including potential trade wars and increased production costs — may outweigh any short-term benefits.
Cardone's take challenges the conventional wisdom on tariffs, sparking a broader conversation about how global trade policies and consumer choices intersect in shaping the economy.
