Esteemed investor Ray Dalio once compared timing the market to competing in the Olympics, suggesting that the former is an even greater challenge.
What Happened: Speaking in a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmNji5adQew">podcast</a> in 2022, Dalio shared his insights and cautioned against attempting to forecast stock trends, arguing that most individuals are not adequately prepared for such a task.
Dalio also identified a common error among investors: assuming that markets that have risen are good investments, rather than simply being more costly. 
"Don't try to time the market yourself because you'll probably lose. The most common mistake of investors is to think that the markets that went up are good investments rather than more expensive," he said.
He provided an example of a high-performing fund where the average investor lost money due to&nbsp;attempts to time the market.
"Every time it was up they bought it, and every time it was down they sold it. So their bad market timing was because they were reactive, thinking it's a great investment when it's up a lot," Dalio added.

His advice aligns with that of investment guru&nbsp;Warren Buffett, who stated&nbsp;in 1994 that he never&nbsp;tries to time the market. Instead, Dalio recommends considering&nbsp;low-cost index funds and holding&nbsp;onto them. 
This type of&nbsp;diversified fund typically remains relatively stable, avoiding the fluctuations associated with selecting individual stocks.
Why It Matters: Ray Dalio&#8217;s advice comes at a time when many investors are grappling with market volatility and uncertainty. 
His comparison of market timing to the Olympics underscores the difficulty and risk involved in such attempts. 
His endorsement of low-cost index funds as a safer alternative could influence investor strategies moving forward, particularly among those who have been burned by unsuccessful&nbsp;attempts to time the market.

Ray Dalio's Timeless Stock Market Advice: 'Don't Try to Time the Market Yourself Because You'll Probably Lose'

Iran has responded to U.S. President Donald Trump&#8217;s letter urging direct negotiations to curb the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/03/44211072/iran-dismisses-trumps-nuclear-negotiation-proposal-accuses-us-of-coercion" rel="noreferrer noopener">country&#8217;s advancing nuclear program.</a>
The New York Times <a target="_blank" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/28/world/middleeast/iran-negotiations-trump-letter.html" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported </a>that Tehran, while not accepting face-to-face talks, signaled a willingness to engage in indirect negotiations, leaving the door open for diplomatic efforts without fully committing to direct discussions.
The letter, delivered by UAE diplomat Anwar Gargash on March 12, contained a mix of threats and potential diplomatic opportunities, including a call for a verification program to ensure Iran&#8217;s nuclear activities were peaceful.
Kamal Kharazi, top foreign policy adviser to Iran&#8217;s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei, stated that the Islamic Republic is not closing all doors and is open to indirect talks with the U.S., The New York Times adds.

The decision to keep the dialogue indirect is rooted in Tehran&#8217;s position that talks cannot happen under &#8220;maximum pressure&#8221; from sanctions and military threats.
Iran&#8217;s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi echoed this sentiment, asserting that while Tehran would not engage in direct talks under such conditions, indirect negotiations were possible, as they have occurred in the past, the report adds.
The Trump administration has warned of military action if Iran&#8217;s nuclear ambitions continue unchecked.
In the letter, Trump expressed his preference for diplomacy over military strikes, but also set a two-month deadline for negotiations.
Meanwhile, Iran has rejected the notion that it is seeking nuclear weapons, maintaining its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes, though concerns persist over its stockpiled uranium and enriched material.
With tensions mounting, Israel and the U.S. have suggested that targeted military strikes on Iran&#8217;s nuclear facilities, such as Natanz and Fordow, could be an option if negotiations fail.

How Hormel Foods, ALLETE, And Alliant Energy Can Put Cash In Your Pocket

Mark Cuban warned Friday about the dangers of over-reliance on artificial intelligence in the workplace.
What Happened: Cuban emphasized that AI should be utilized as a tool to augment existing skills, rather than replacing them.
Cuban, while participating in a SXSW <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vkJfCMycJRk">panel</a> discussion on Friday, underscored the significance of AI in the current professional environment. However, he cautioned against expecting AI to instantly master skills such as writing or video editing.
&#8220;AI is never the answer;&nbsp;AI is the tool,&#8221; Cuban&nbsp;stated. 
He pointed out that while AI can execute tasks like scripting and video editing, it lacks the ability to judge the quality of a story. Hence, creativity and pre-existing skills remain crucial.
&#8220;While AI can write scripts and edit videos, it can't discern what is a good or bad story. So you need to be creative. Whatever skills you have, AI can amplify them," Cuban added.

Cuban also drew attention to the potential risk of overlooking AI, asserting that its application&nbsp;&#8220;could be the difference between&nbsp;[your competition] getting ahead of&nbsp;you or not.&#8221;
Leaders of prominent AI companies, such as OpenAI CEO&nbsp;Sam Altman&nbsp;and Nvidia CEO&nbsp;Jensen Huang, employ AI for routine administrative tasks. Huang also&nbsp;uses an AI chatbot tutor&nbsp;for daily learning about various subjects.
Experts like Stanford professor&nbsp;Steve Blank&nbsp;recommend becoming familiar with AI to maximize its benefits. Cuban concurred, stating that proficiency with AI could enhance one&#8217;s career or personal earnings.
Why It Matters: Cuban&#8217;s comments highlight the ongoing debate about the role of AI in the workplace. While AI can automate routine tasks and increase efficiency, Cuban&#8217;s caution against over-reliance on AI underscores the importance of human skills and creativity in the professional landscape. 
His statement serves as a reminder that while AI can be a powerful tool, it should not replace human skills and judgment.

Mark Cuban Advises Against Sole Dependence on AI for Work, Says It's 'Never the Answer'

Elon Musk, the father of 14 children, expressed his concern over the declining birth rates in western countries.
What Happened:&nbsp;In a recent interview, Musk raised concerns about the falling&nbsp;birth rates across the West. He stated, &#8220;the birth rate is very&nbsp;low in almost every country.&nbsp;And unless that changes, civilization&nbsp;will disappear.&#8221;
Speaking <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/video/6370709800112">with</a> Fox News, Musk pointed out that the United States recorded its lowest birth rate ever last year. He also mentioned that South Korea&#8217;s birth rate is one-third the replacement rate. He cautioned that if this trend persists, &#8220;Humanity is dying.&#8221;
"Well, there are a lot of things that I suppose I worry about, and so many things will seem esoteric to people. You know, the birth rate is very low in almost every country. And unless that changes, civilization will disappear," Musk said when asked about the biggest thing that keeps him up at night. 
"America had the lowest birth rate I believe ever, that was last year. Places like Korea, the birth rate is one-third replacement rate. That means in three generations, Korea will be 3 percent or 4 percent of its current size. Nothing seems to be turning that around. Humanity is dying. And people—it's just not something we evolve to react to," he added.

Musk, a father to 14 children with four women, also shared his apprehensions about the future of America and western civilization. He stressed the significance of a robust America as the central pillar supporting civilization.
As per the data from the CDC, the U.S. fertility rate hit a record low last year, marking the second year in a row&nbsp;of declining birth rates. South&nbsp;Korea&#8217;s birth rate is even lower, with about 4.7 babies born per 1,000 people.
Musk&#8217;s concern is specifically&nbsp;about the birth rate in&nbsp;predominantly white, western countries. He has not advocated for measures like immigration from high birth rate countries to counter America&#8217;s potential population decline.
Why It Matters: Musk&#8217;s comments come at a time when many western countries are grappling with the implications of declining birth rates. 
These include potential labor shortages, economic stagnation, and challenges to social security systems. While immigration can help mitigate some of these issues, it is not a panacea and comes with its own set of challenges. 
The concerns raised by Musk underscore the need for comprehensive policies to address demographic shifts and ensure the sustainability of western societies.

Elon Musk Reveals the One Thought That Keeps Him Awake at Night

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney reportedly described his first conversation with President <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44549872/trump-says-he-had-an-extremely-productive-call-with-canadian-pm-mark-carney-amid-heightened-us-canada-tensions" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Donald Trump</a><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44549872/trump-says-he-had-an-extremely-productive-call-with-canadian-pm-mark-carney-amid-heightened-us-canada-tensions" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> as &#8220;very constructive.&#8221;</a>
BBC <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c93n3knw4xyo" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a> that the two leaders spoke amid the escalating trade war, particularly over Trump&#8217;s proposed 25% tariff on vehicle imports, set to take effect on April 2, which threatens to devastate Canada&#8217;s auto industry.
Carney, who took office in mid-March, said that Trump &#8220;respected Canada&#8217;s sovereignty&#8221; during the exchange, despite the President&#8217;s previous remarks suggesting Canada should become the 51st state — a statement that has caused significant backlash in Canada.
Trump, for his part, characterized the call as &#8220;extremely productive,&#8221; signaling a potential shift in tone compared to his jabs at Carney&#8217;s predecessor, Justin Trudeau.

&#8220;It was an extremely productive call, we agree on many things, and will be meeting immediately after Canada&#8217;s upcoming Election to work on elements of Politics, Business, and all other factors,&#8221; Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social.
The conversation focused on upcoming negotiations to create a new economic and security relationship following Canada&#8217;s federal election on April 28.
Carney has vowed to retaliate against US tariffs, including a $42 billion retaliation on US goods. The looming car tariffs are expected to affect 500,000 Canadian jobs, per BBC.
The trade tensions, exacerbated by Trump&#8217;s tariffs on steel and aluminum, have become a central issue in Canada&#8217;s election campaign.
Opposition leaders, including Conservative Pierre Poilievre and Bloc Québécois leader Yves-François Blanchet, have expressed concerns that Carney may be willing to make concessions to the US. Carney&#8217;s stance, however, remains firm: further retaliatory measures could be on the horizon if Trump follows through with his proposed levies, BBC adds.

Canadian PM Mark Carney Calls First Trump Talk 'Constructive' Amid Looming Tariff Threat

Financial expert Robert Kiyosaki has moved his focus from Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) and gold to silver, forecasting a significant surge in silver prices.
What Happened: Kiyosaki is of the opinion that silver currently holds the most promising investment potential. He predicts that silver prices will exceed $70 in the near future and could potentially reach $200 within the next two years. 
This forecast has sparked renewed interest among investors, making silver a more attractive investment option during these financially uncertain times.
Kiyosaki suggests that the current market conditions provide a unique opportunity for small investors to acquire secure and cost-effective assets. 
In a post on X, he anticipated a significant rise in metal prices, with silver potentially reaching $200 per ounce.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
According to Kiyosaki, silver offers considerable growth potential due to global inflation concerns and declining trust in traditional currencies. He is advising investors to buy physical silver now before market prices increase.
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/02/43901226/robert-kiyosaki-says-everything-bubble-will-cause-historic-market-crash-bitcoin-will-be-fastest-to-recover">Robert Kiyosaki Says &#8216;Everything Bubble&#8217; Will Cause Historic Market Crash, Bitcoin Will Be Fastest To Recover</a>
While Kiyosaki currently favors silver, he recognizes that Bitcoin could be a beneficial tool to combat currency inflation in the future. 
He also continues to support gold as a dependable store of value, especially during economic instability. However, he believes that silver offers more advantages to everyday investors due to its higher price point compared to gold.
Why It Matters: Kiyosaki&#8217;s shift in investment focus and his prediction of a substantial price increase in silver could influence the investment strategies of many. 
His advice to buy physical silver now could lead to a surge in demand, potentially driving up the price of silver even further. Moreover, his continued endorsement of gold and Bitcoin, despite his current preference for silver, suggests that these assets still hold value and should not be overlooked by investors. 
This shift in investment strategy underscores the importance of diversification and adaptability in an ever-changing financial landscape.

Robert Kiyosaki Thinks Saving in Cash Is a Bad Idea. Here's Why.

Billionaire Mark Cuban has raised questions about Elon Musk&#8216;s silence regarding the productivity emails that the White House DOGE office required federal employees to submit last month.
What Happened: Cuban took to Bluesky last week to voice his concerns about the lack of response to the &#8216;5 things&#8217; DOGE emails. He remarked,&nbsp;&#8220;Already forgotten. Typical. Ready Fire&nbsp;Aim.&#8221;
&#8220;Whatever happened to the &#8216;5 things&#8217; DoGe emails? Talked to someone really smart who just left gov, who said all the emails bounced back as inbox full,&#8221; Cuban <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/mcuban.bsky.social/post/3llcw6ufkjc2i">wrote</a>. 
&#8220;Already forgotten. Typical. Ready Fire Aim,&#8221; he added.
Previously, on&nbsp;February 22, the Office of&nbsp;Personnel Management (OPM) had requested federal workers&nbsp;to submit a list of&nbsp;their accomplishments by February 24. Musk had warned&nbsp;that failure to respond by&nbsp;the deadline would be considered a resignation.
Also Read:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/43245984/cuban-on-musk-i-have-no-problem-throwing-elon-under-the-bus-but-ill-save-it-for-when-its-truly-deser" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Cuban on Musk: ‘I Have No Problem Throwing Elon Under the Bus, but I&#8217;ll Save It for When It&#8217;s Truly Deserved&#8217;</a>
However, this led to widespread confusion, with at least eight agencies instructing their workers not to respond to the&nbsp;OPM&#8217;s email. The White House&nbsp;disclosed that&nbsp;less than half of the&nbsp;federal workforce had responded to the email.
Further adding to the chaos, Bloomberg reported on Tuesday that federal employees were unable to submit their weekly list of accomplishments due to OPM&#8217;s email inbox being full.
As of now, Musk has not&nbsp;publicly responded to Cuban&#8217;s post.&nbsp;Neither Cuban nor Musk, nor the DOGE office, responded&nbsp;to requests for comment from&nbsp;Business Insider.
Why It Matters: The silence from Musk and the DOGE office raises questions about the effectiveness of the productivity emails and the potential impact on federal workers. The confusion and lack of response could potentially affect the morale and productivity of the workforce. 
Furthermore, the inability of federal employees to submit their weekly accomplishments due to a full inbox highlights potential issues with the OPM&#8217;s email system. 
This incident underscores the importance of clear communication and efficient systems within government agencies.

Peter Marks, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration&#8217;s top vaccine official, has resigned, citing concerns over Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.&#8216;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44514142/rfk-jr-to-announce-10000-job-cuts-shut-regional-agencies-in-a-major-health-department-overhaul-report" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">promotion of vaccine misinformation</a>.
Marks, a key figure in the development and distribution of COVID-19 vaccines through Operation Warp Speed, served as a critical guardrail against any politicization of the FDA&#8217;s vaccine approval process.
His resignation came after he was reportedly given the choice to resign or be fired by an HHS official, which he ultimately chose to do, <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/mar/29/top-us-vaccine-official-resigns-over-rfk-jrs-misinformation-and-lies-dr-peter-marks" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a> The Guardian.
In a resignation letter, Marks condemned Kennedy&#8217;s stance on vaccines, accusing him of spreading &#8220;misinformation and lies&#8221; and undermining trust in well-established vaccines, the report reads.
He warned that such actions were harmful to public health and posed a serious threat to the nation&#8217;s safety and security.

Marks expressed concerns over the erosion of transparency and truth within the Department of Health and Human Services under Kennedy&#8217;s leadership.
Kennedy, long criticized for his vaccine skepticism, has sparked controversy with his claims about vaccine safety, particularly his promotion of debunked theories linking vaccines to autism.
His movement has led efforts to challenge the emergency approval of COVID-19 vaccines, despite research showing they saved millions of lives and prevented hospitalizations, the report further notes.
Marks&#8217; resignation highlights growing tensions between public health professionals and those seeking to politicize or undermine vaccine safety and effectiveness.

RFK Jr. Spreading 'Misinformation and Lies'? FDA's Top Vaccine Official Walks Out, Sparking Debate on Safety and Public Trust

Recent survey data suggests that investor apprehension regarding a potential stock market crash could actually serve as a boost for stocks.
What Happened: The survey revealed that more than half of Americans anticipate an impending U.S. stock-market crash. Interestingly, this widespread fear may not necessarily increase the likelihood of a crash. On the contrary, it could suggest the opposite.
A Q1 2025 <a href="https://www.allianzlife.com/about/newsroom/2025-Press-Releases/Inflation-and-Tariffs-Increasingly-Worrying-Americans">study</a> conducted by Allianz Life found that 51% of participants expressed concern about a significant market crash in the near future.
This anxiety, however, is interpreted as a contrarian indicator, implying that the stock market tends to perform better when investor fears of a crash are heightened, compared to periods of relative complacency.
Backing this perspective, an analysis of survey data collected&nbsp;since 2001 by Yale University&nbsp;professor Robert Shiller suggests that the S&amp;P 500&#8217;s total-return index generally outperforms following months where crash risk is perceived to be high.

Despite the prevalent fear of a crash, research conducted by Harvard University finance professor Xavier Gabaix indicates&nbsp;that the actual probability of&nbsp;a stock-market crash occurring&nbsp;in the next six months&nbsp;is extremely low, at just 0.33%.
While this research primarily focuses on one-day market plunges, it&#8217;s crucial to understand that significant bear markets can transpire without the stock market experiencing any major one-day drops.
Therefore, the general consensus appears to be that investors should be more wary of&nbsp;a major bear market than&nbsp;a one-day crash.
Why It Matters: This study underscores the complex dynamics of investor sentiment and market performance. It suggests that widespread fear of a crash, rather than signaling impending doom, may actually serve as a contrarian indicator of positive market performance. 
This counterintuitive finding highlights the importance of understanding investor psychology in predicting market trends. It also emphasizes the need for investors to focus on long-term market trends rather than short-term fluctuations.

Study: Investor Fears of Crash Could Actually Fuel Stock Market Performance

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has reportedly been taking his wife to high-level foreign meetings where sensitive information was discussed.
What Happened: Hegseth brought Jennifer Hegseth to at least two meetings with foreign military leaders.
According to the report <a href="https://www.wsj.com/politics/national-security/hegseth-brought-his-wife-to-sensitive-meetings-with-foreign-military-officials-c16db0ea?mod=hp_lead_pos1">by</a> The Wall Street Journal, the meetings in question included one with UK Secretary of Defense John Healey on March 6, and a NATO meeting in Brussels in February. Jennifer Hegseth, a former Fox News producer, was present at both meetings where sensitive information regarding support for Ukraine was discussed.
While a&nbsp;secretary can invite anyone to&nbsp;meetings, attendees typically possess security clearances due to the sensitive nature of discussions. Jennifer Hegseth, who is not a Defense Department employee, has not confirmed whether she holds a security clearance.
"When you have meetings with ministers or high-level NATO officials, those meetings almost always include sensitive security conversations," former Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel, a Republican who served in the Obama administration, told the outlet.

"If you are going to discuss top secret, national security issues, you have to be very selective. What's the relevancy of the person you are inviting?" he added. 
Some attendees at the meetings were reportedly unaware of Jennifer Hegseth&#8217;s identity, while others were surprised by her presence. It remains unclear whether her attendance impacted the discussions.
Current and former defense officials&nbsp;have stated that&nbsp;it is unusual for spouses&nbsp;to attend such meetings, raising questions about the appropriateness of Jennifer Hegseth&#8217;s presence.
Why It Matters: The presence of Jennifer Hegseth at these high-level meetings raises serious questions about the security protocols in place. It is not common practice for spouses, who do not hold official positions or security clearances, to be present at such meetings where sensitive information is discussed. 
This incident has sparked a debate about the professional boundaries within the Defense Department and the potential risks associated with breaching these boundaries.

Defense Secretary Hegseth Under Fire for Bringing Wife To High-Level Security Meetings

On Friday, President Donald Trump signed a sweeping executive order aimed at cracking down on crime and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44474423/fbi-launches-task-force-to-address-tesla-protests-director-kash-patel-condemns-violence-as-domestic-terrorism" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">boosting immigration enforcement in the District of Columbia</a>.
The <a href="https://x.com/rapidresponse47/status/1905380659251621995?s=46&amp;t=4w-wmN8A8Gi-y4PcqdJysA" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">order</a> establishes the &#8220;D.C. Safe and Beautiful Task Force,&#8221; which will coordinate federal and local efforts to address crime, improve public safety, and enhance the city&#8217;s cleanliness and aesthetics.
The executive order directs federal agencies, including the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI, to work with local officials to enhance law enforcement presence, combat crime, and enforce federal immigration laws, particularly by addressing illegal immigration and sanctuary city status.

The Task Force will also collaborate with local law enforcement to tackle fare evasion and crimes within the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority, support the recruitment of police officers, and improve the District&#8217;s forensic capabilities.
Additionally, the order calls for beautification projects to restore public monuments and remove graffiti.
The order also mandates the cleanup of homeless encampments on federal land and encourages private sector involvement in public space beautification. While the executive order aims to bolster D.C.&#8217;s safety and appearance, it specifies that implementation will be subject to law and available funding.

Trump Signs Executive Order to Combat Crime and Toughen Immigration Enforcement in Washington D.C.

Anthony Scaramucci, the former White House communications director, predicts a political tumble for Vice President JD Vance, suggesting that President Donald Trump is increasingly discontented with him.
What Happened: Scaramucci, who had a brief stint as Trump&#8217;s communications director, made these predictions in an interview with CNN. He indicated that Vance&#8217;s close emulation of the president could be a &#8220;mistake,&#8221; and that Trump might not appreciate the &#8220;obsequiousness&#8221; of Vance&#8217;s behavior.
"He's not the president, and whether you like the president or dislike the president, he has the following. He has the rizz for his team, MAGA. JD Vance hasn't proven that. I think it's probably annoying to the president that he's over-modeling him. You know, people mistake this about Trump. I don't think he likes the obsequiousness stuff," Scaramucci said. 
These remarks from Scaramucci followed Vance&#8217;s visit to Greenland, a territory that has piqued Trump&#8217;s interest for acquisition from Denmark. During this visit, Vance criticized Denmark&#8217;s management of Greenland&#8217;s security, a comment made at a time when the U.S. alone has proposed taking over the territory, even contemplating military action.

&#8220;I think at the at the end of the day, I predict that JD Vance will go the way of Mike Pence here. The president will make him more irrelevant. He'll do things to Vance that will compromise his position. He doesn't like the attention that Vance is giving. And you should ask your sources why he went on that trip," he added. 
Scaramucci continued to forecast that Trump will make Vance &#8220;irrelevant,&#8221; similar to former Vice President Mike Pence. He also labeled Vance&#8217;s Greenland visit as &#8220;embarrassing,&#8221; in the wake of the administration&#8217;s inability to secure a warm reception from the Greenlanders for the U.S. delegation.
Why It Matters: The growing tension between Trump and Vance could have significant implications for the administration and its policies. Vance&#8217;s criticism of Denmark&#8217;s handling of Greenland&#8217;s security, at a time when the U.S. is the only country proposing to take over the territory, has already stirred controversy. 
If Scaramucci&#8217;s predictions hold true, this could mark a significant shift in the dynamics of the Trump administration, potentially impacting future policy decisions and the U.S.&#8217;s international relations.

Scaramucci Says Trump Is Souring on VP Vance: 'The President Will Make Him More Irrelevant'

Dollar cost averaging is a popular strategy among investors who want to increase their exposure to the stock market without having to time the market. It involves buying stocks at regular intervals regardless of the market price.&nbsp;
It's a lot simpler if you apply this strategy to mutual funds and ETFs. Those funds offer diversified exposure to a wide range of stocks, but one Redditor is considering the dollar cost averaging method for individual stocks.&nbsp;

<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>
</ul>
In an <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/investing/comments/1jkj3ja/is_dollar_cost_averaging_into_us_stocks_a_good/">Investing Reddit post</a>, an individual explains that they put $300 into their investment account bi-weekly. Now, the Redditor wants to put an extra $200 into the account bi-weekly and put that money into individual stocks. The Redditor mentioned a few blue-chip stocks and intends to follow that path for the next 20-40 years.
Before committing to it, the Redditor asked the community if dollar cost averaging into individual stocks is a good investment strategy.&nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Buying ETFs Is a Lot Easier</h2>
The top comment offered a blunt assessment of the situation. "No! Just buy ETFs," the commenter stated. Buying ETFs is a lot simpler since you can follow benchmarks and themes instead of knowing about individual stocks. It takes less time to monitor ETFs since a fund manager does that for you.
While you can outperform the stock market if you buy individual stocks, it is riskier. The average investor is better off with ETFs.
Trending: If there was a new fund backed by Jeff Bezos offering a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/arrived-private-credit-fund">7-9% target yield with monthly dividends would you invest in it</a>?
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Put All of Your Money into the Stock Market</h2>
One commenter suggested that the best investment strategy is to put all of your money into the stock market when you are young. The idea behind this strategy is that investors get to enjoy more compounding growth in the long run.&nbsp;
The commenter advocated for dollar cost averaging but didn't say if buying individual stocks was a good approach or a bad one. This comment is probably more geared toward the Redditor deciding to invest an additional $200 bi-weekly. That extra investment can compound over time.
The Redditor will endure some corrections as a stock investor. However, the original poster also mentioned having a 20-40 year time horizon. A lengthy time horizon makes it easier to realize profits from your investments when you are ready to sell them or pass them on to your heirs.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Understand the Risks</h2>
While many commenters cautioned the Redditor to stick with ETFs, one of the commenters said that stock picking is okay if you know the risks. It's easier to recover from bad stock investments when you are younger. Furthermore, the investor is still putting some money into ETFs.
The commenter also mentions that the Redditor only listed reliable blue-chip stocks instead of high-flying growth stocks that can crash if the economy slows down. The Redditor doesn't seem like the type to go all-in on individual stocks, so a few individual picks can help balance out an ETF-focused portfolio.

Redditor Asks If Dollar Cost Averaging into Individual Stocks Makes Sense: 'I Was Thinking Of Adding Another $200 Bi-Weekly Into Some individual US Stocks'

Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) co-founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg has spent most of his life creating things to facilitate human connection and he continues to push the limits of interaction as Meta <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/content/44245121/meta-stock-the-potential-and-pitfalls-of-its-reality-labs-bet">leans into the Metaverse</a>.
So what does the man who&#8217;s making new worlds think about the purpose of living&nbsp;in this one? When it comes to life, the answer is pretty&nbsp;clear, but when it comes to death…
"Constraints are helpful,"&nbsp;Zuckerberg said in a 2022 interview on &#8220;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5zOHSysMmH0">Lex Fridman Podcast #267</a>.&#8221;
That&#8217;s coming from the guy who founded&nbsp;what&#8217;s now the world&#8217;s largest social media platform&nbsp;at&nbsp;19 and became the world&#8217;s youngest billionaire by the time he was 23.&nbsp;
The Dusk:&nbsp;Zuckerberg is definitely aware of life&#8217;s finite quality and aims to stay safe, but he&#8217;s not freaked out by death. He believes&nbsp;longer lifespans are&nbsp;a good thing, which is why he has pledged 99% of his Meta shares to philanthropic causes, specifically toward the ability to cure, prevent or&nbsp;manage&nbsp;all diseases.&nbsp;
&#8220;But it was an intentional&nbsp;decision to not focus&nbsp;our philanthropy on like explicitly on longevity or living forever,&#8221; Zuckerberg said.&nbsp;
If Zuckerberg could have one question answered at the moment of death, he said he would want to know if&nbsp;his family would be alright.
&#8220;That might depend on the circumstances of my death, but I think that in most circumstances I can think of, that&#8217;s probably the main thing that I would care about.&#8221;
After his response, he noted that although his answer is&nbsp;probably in line with&nbsp;most responses, it&#8217;s not obvious to him.&nbsp;
&#8220;On the one hand, that&#8217;s probably the thing that&#8217;s closest to me and maybe the most common human experience,&#8221; Zuckerberg said. &#8220;But one of the things I just struggle with in terms of running this large enterprise is like: should the thing that I care more about be that responsibility?&#8221;
For the Meta CEO, it&#8217;s shifted over time. Before he had a family, the company was all he cared about, he said. &#8220;At this point, I care deeply about it, but &#8230; that&#8217;s not as obvious of a question.&#8221;

The Dawn:&nbsp;The meaning of life is more clear for Zuckerberg. From an intellectual perspective, he thinks people&nbsp;are meant&nbsp;to connect, which is something that society systematically undervalues, he said.&nbsp;
Taking a religious perspective, Zuckerberg highlighted how the Bible focuses on creation. &#8220;Why does the Bible start there?,&#8221; he said. &#8220;It could have started anywhere in terms of how to live, but basically it starts with talking about how God created people.&#8221;
&#8220;I actually think that there is like a compelling argument that I&#8217;ve always just found meaningful and inspiring that a lot of the point of what, sort of, religion has been telling us that we should do is to create and build things,&#8221; Zuckerberg said.
The Meta CEO has dedicated his life to his interpretation of its&nbsp;meaning:&nbsp;creating things for human connection. Zuckerberg continues to do so by pushing the boundaries of connection,&nbsp;changing the way&nbsp;people create and understand what is real.
&#8220;The real world is a combination of the physical world and the virtual world, but I think over time as we get more technology, the physical world is becoming less of a percent of the&nbsp;real world and I think that opens up a lot of opportunities for people.&#8221;

Mark Zuckerberg Reveals 'Main Thing I Would Care About' Before Dying

Jeff Bezos has been engaged to Lauren Sanchez since May 2023 and just like his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/08/33591383/bezos-throws-engagement-party-on-500-million-yacht-ahead-of-amazons-earnings-heres-who-was-in-attend">star-studded engagement party</a>, his wedding will include many notable VIPs across media, business and politics.
What Happened: Bezos and Sanchez are set to tie the knot in Venice, Italy this summer, likely months after Sanchez goes to space aboard a Blue Origin spaceflight from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/space/25/02/44019974/katy-perry-gayle-king-lauren-sanchez-headline-next-blue-origin-space-flight-how-jeff-bezos-fiancee-crew-will-make-history">Bezos space company.</a>
Invitations for the wedding have been sent out for the highly anticipated wedding and Daily Mail has <a href="https://pagesix.com/2025/03/26/celebrity-news/jeff-bezos-and-lauren-sanchezs-wedding-guest-list-revealed/">revealed </a>many of the guest invited. Here are several of the guests who have been invited according to the report:
<ul>
<li>Oprah Winfrey</li>
<li>Gayle King</li>
<li>Leonardo DiCaprio</li>
<li>Katy Perry</li>
<li>Orlando Bloom</li>
<li>Brian Glazer</li>
<li>Barbra Streisand</li>
<li>Jewel</li>
<li>Kim Kardashian</li>
<li>Kris Jenner</li>
<li>President Donald Trump</li>
<li>Ivanka Trump</li>
<li>Jared Kushner</li>
<li>Joshua Kushner</li>
<li>Karlie Kloss</li>
<li>Bill Gates</li>
<li>Barry Diller</li>
<li>Diane von Furstenberg</li>
</ul>
Given the invitation of Trump and several members of his family, it will be interesting to see if the president comments on whether or not he will attend.

Wedding Plans: While nothing has been confirmed by Bezos or Sanchez, the Daily Mail is starting to release <a href="https://pagesix.com/2025/03/26/celebrity-news/inside-jeff-bezos-and-lauren-sanchezs-lavish-wedding-plans/">reported </a>details for the Venice wedding set for this summer.
The report comes after Bezos <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42662407/jeff-bezos-says-600-million-wedding-rumor-is-completely-false-elon-musk-michael-saylor-bill-ackman-respond">previously shut down rumors</a> of the wedding costing $600 million.  
There were previous reports that the couple would get married on the $500 million superyacht Koru off the coast of Italy. The superyacht was where Bezos proposed and where they hosted their engagement party.
The Daily Mail reports that the superyacht could be used for the wedding, but is most likely being "involved" in the wedding as a taxi to the venue or other wedding events. With a cost of $500 million and annual costs of $25 million to maintain the superyacht, it might make sense to have the Koru involved in some shape for the wedding. 
While no date has been announced, a report said that two of Venice's premier hotels, the Gritti Palace and Aman Venice, are fully booked from June 26 to June 29. Rooms at those hotels cost an average of $3,200 per night.
"The wedding is poised to be a defining social event of 2025, not only for the couple but for Venice itself," a source said.
The couple have frequently visited Venice during their relationship, making the wedding location a nod to their time together.
Bezos and Sanchez began dating in 2019, but were not seen in public together for some time after their respective divorces were finalized.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Hold or Sell? Investor With $14,000 Tech-Heavy Portfolio Ponders Diversification–Reddit Advises Him</h2>
Diversify into Other Sectors or Broader ETFs
Many Redditors indicated that the investor&#8217;s portfolio is way too concentrated in tech, which increases risk. Instead, they suggested reducing individual stock holdings and adding ETFs to gain exposure to other sectors.
&#8220;I am sure you know this, but VOO/QQQ includes all of the individual companies that you have the majority of your portfolio invested in,&#8221; a comment says.
Advising the poster to diversify his portfolio, one Redditor suggested choosing either VOO or QQQ, but not both.
&#8220;You own good companies! Personally, I would choose one of the two VOO/QQQ not both, but that&#8217;s just me and is not really a big deal&#8230; Other than that, I like everything else; I think I own all of them, except COIN. Look into buying other sectors, you are too heavily concentrated on tech.&#8221;
A commenter advised the poster to add a broad-market ETF to reduce complexity and risk.
&#8220;Too complex for this volume, many duplicates and missing diversification. Just do VOO or an [MSCI (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/msci#NYSE">MSCI</a>)] world index and that's it,&#8221; he wrote.
&#8220;VOO and QQQ are redundant and lend even more weight to the Mag 7. COIN, MSTR, TSLA, and NVDA are no-go long-term, I think. Try to add something more stable like [Raytheon Technologies (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/rtx#NYSE">RTX</a>)], [UnitedHealth Group (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/unh#NYSE">UNH</a>)], or [The Coca-Cola Company (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ko#NYSE">KO</a>)],&#8221; a user suggested.
A Redditor recommended the investor add a mix of ETFs and stable dividend-paying stocks to improve the portfolio&#8217;s resilience.
&#8220;Continue with VOO, [Invesco NASDAQ 100 ETF (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/qqqm#NASDAQ">QQQM</a>)] only, and get some solid plays added from now on, diversify a bit. Can stick with ETFs or index, defense, utilities, energy, health care, precious metals, [Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.A, BRK.B)], with the trade war, you need stuff that can survive. Look for some balance now with solid legacy names with dividends,&#8221; he wrote.

Sell TSLA, COIN, and MSTR
The poster&#8217;s most controversial holdings were TSLA, COIN, and MSTR, and some commenters argued that he should get rid of them since they&#8217;re too risky for a 10-year hold.
&#8220;Sell the TSLA and take the win; it's overvalued dramatically,&#8221; a comment reads.
&#8220;I'd scrub TSLA and MSTR and put it in VOO or QQQ. Tesla's valuation is and has been insane forever, even after the sell-off. The fundamentals are just awful for its valuation. And that's not even dipping into political stuff. Plus, it's already a decent weight in VOO anyway. And MSTR is straight-up junk,&#8221; a Redditor said.
This user also suggested selling the three stocks, saying, &#8220;I would personally remove MSTR, COIN, and TSLA and buy more of QQQ/VOO.&#8221;
&#8220;Get rid of TSLA before it wrecks your portfolio!&#8221; another comment reads.
One Redditor shared he would never hold MSTR for the long term, and suggested HOOD instead of COIN.
&#8220;No way I would hold MSTR for 10 years. You are playing crypto with COIN; in my opinion, HOOD is the better bet now that they are getting into the higher-margin gambling business. If you want Bitcoin exposure, buy [iShares Bitcoin Trust (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ibit#NASDAQ">IBIT</a>)].

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Latest On Farmland Partners</h2>
On Feb. 19, the company announced its Q4 2024 earnings, posting FFO of $0.19, compared to the consensus estimate of $0.17, and revenues of $21.47 million, compared to the consensus of $20.29 million, as reported by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/02/43830306/farmland-partners-q4-ffo-0-19-beats-0-17-estimate-sales-21-47m-beat-20-29m-estimate">Benzinga</a>.
"2024 was a very strong year for FPI, as we successfully executed on our strategies to reduce overhead, enhance operational efficiencies, and selectively dispose of assets. Proceeds from the properties we sold in 2024 allowed us to reduce leverage in a period of elevated interest rates and repurchase stock at what we believe to be a significant discount to fair value," CEO Luca Fabbri said.
Trending: 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>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How Can You Earn $100 Per Month As A Farmland Partners Investor?</h2>
If you want to make $100 per month — $1,200 annually — from Farmland Partners dividends, your investment value needs to be approximately $55,300, which is around 5,000 shares at $11.06 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 (2.17% in this case). So, $1,200 / 0.0217 = $55,300 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 Farmland Partners stock an attractive option for making a steady income of $100 per month by owning 5,000 shares of stock.&nbsp;

Here's How You Can Earn $100 In Passive Income By Investing In Farmland Partners Stock

A viral <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/Millennials/comments/1jktxcg/i_dont_understand_how_people_have_money/">post</a> on Reddit&#8217;s r/Millennials subreddit struck a nerve this week after one user, frustrated by their financial situation, asked a simple question: How do people have money?
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Millennials Making Bank, Still Feeling Broke</h2>
The post, titled &#8220;I don&#8217;t understand how people have MONEY,&#8221; came from a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/06/39275908/are-you-richer-than-your-parents-were-at-your-age">Millennial who makes</a> over $125,000 a year and expects to reach a combined household income of $250,000 to $300,000 with their partner soon. And yet, they rarely have more than $10,000 in savings. After taxes, mortgage payments, condo fees, car payments, pet expenses, groceries and &#8220;random sh&#x2A;t that needs fixing,&#8221; the money&#8217;s just gone.
&#8220;Could I buy fewer avocados and never leave the house?&#8221; the poster asked. &#8220;It could make a difference of a few hundred bucks every few months, but not the tens of thousands that I actually need.&#8221;

</ul>
The frustration sparked over 5,000 upvotes and thousands of comments, many of which called the poster out. Others, however, related deeply to the sense that even <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/05/38734261/suze-orman-shares-why-people-making-100k-end-up-with-less-money-the-more-money-you-make-the-more">high earners struggle to build wealth</a> in today's economy.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Six-Figure Income, Little to Show</h2>
The original poster clarified they weren't trying to say &#8220;poor me&#8221; but rather express disbelief that saving up for a home, retirement or an emergency fund feels nearly impossible.
&#8220;I figure at 36 I have earned a car and a condo and not the life I had at 26, which was six roommates and a bike,&#8221; they wrote.&nbsp;
But many users were quick to point out that if you&#8217;re making that kind of money and still struggling, something doesn't add up.
&#8220;You do have money. You have an above-average salary and 10k in cash,&#8221; one commenter replied. Another wrote, &#8220;There's some major spending here they're not being honest about.&#8221;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Harsh Truths</h2>
The post prompted a roundup of what it really takes for people to have money in today's economy. Here&#8217;s the TL;DR that emerged from the replies that OP later added to their original post:

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Reddit&#8217;s Callouts and Confessions</h2>
While many questioned OP&#8217;s budgeting, others shared their own stories of financial discipline and sacrifice. One user said they make just under $100,000 with three kids and still manage to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-pay-off-debt">pay off debt and build credit</a>.

Some described surviving only because of extreme circumstances. A surprising number mentioned using legal settlements from accidents to make down payments on homes.
&#8220;I got it the good old American way! Getting hit by a car,&#8221; one user wrote.
But some took the chance to point out that America's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/08/40586670/survey-finds-46-of-middle-class-workers-are-halting-or-cutting-their-retirement-contributions-du">middle class is being squeezed</a> from all sides. &#8220;A millionaire is closer to bankruptcy and homelessness than becoming a billionaire,&#8221; one person said, arguing that solidarity among working people—even high earners who still feel broke—is more important than ever.

'Could I Buy Fewer Avocados And Never Leave The House?' A Millennial Can't Understand 'How People Have Money'

Kroger (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KR#NYSE">KR</a>) is a food and drug retailer in the U.S. The company operates combination food and drug stores, multi-department stores, marketplace stores, and price impact warehouses.
It is set to report its Q1 2025 earnings on June 20. Wall Street analysts expect the company to post EPS of $1.54, up from $1.43 in the year-ago period. According to Benzinga Pro, quarterly revenue is expected to reach $45.17 billion, down from $45.27 billion a year earlier.

<li>If there was a new fund backed by Jeff Bezos offering a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/arrived-private-credit-fund">7-9% target yield with monthly dividends would you invest in it</a>?</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">If You Bought Kroger Stock 10 Years Ago</h2>
The company's stock traded at approximately $38.04 per share 10 years ago. If you had invested $10,000, you could have bought roughly 263 shares. Currently, shares trade at $65.47, meaning your investment's value could have grown to $17,211 from stock price appreciation alone. However, Kroger also paid dividends during these 10 years.&nbsp;
Kroger's dividend yield is currently 1.99%. Over the last 10 years, it has paid about $7.82 in dividends per share, which means you could have made $2,056 from dividends alone.&nbsp;
Summing up $17,211 and $2,056, we end up with the final value of your investment, which is $19,267. This is how much you could have made if you had invested $10,000 in Kroger stock 10 years ago. This means a total return of 92.67%. However, this figure is significantly below the S&amp;P 500 total return for the same period, which was&nbsp; 235%.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What Could The Next 10 Years Bring?&nbsp;</h2>
Kroger has a consensus rating of "Buy" and a price target of $63.22 based on the ratings of 23 analysts. The price target implies more than a 3% potential downside from the current stock price.
On March 6, the company announced its Q4 2024 earnings, posting adjusted earnings per share of $1.14, beating the street view of $1.11, as reported by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44169392/kroger-beats-q4-earnings-estimates-amid-leadership-shakeup">Benzinga</a>.
Quarterly sales of $34.308 billion slightly missed the analyst consensus estimate of $34.509 billion.
The company provided its full-year 2025 guidance, expecting adjusted EPS in the range of $4.60 to $4.80, compared to the consensus of $4.79. Full-year identical sales growth without fuel is seen in the range of 2.0% to 3.0%.

Given the expected downside potential, growth-focused investors may not find Kroger stock attractive. Conversely, the stock can be a good option for income-focused investors, who can benefit from the company's solid dividend yield of 1.99% and consistent hikes. Kroger has raised its dividend consecutively for the last 18 years.
