'Nintendo Maintains Nintendo Switch 2 Pricing, Retail Pre-Orders to Begin April 24 in U.S'- Nintendo

The US stock market rebounded sharply as investors cheered President Donald Trump's April 9 announcement to put a 90-day pause on tariffs against all countries except China. While many Wall Street experts view this as a positive development, some believe we're still not out of the woods.
‘Classic' Bear Market
Josh Brown, CNBC commentator and CEO of Ritholtz Wealth Management, said during a recent <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kjgmc7gq8MI">segment</a> that he doesn't see the rebound as a healthy pullback and pointed to some "classic" bear market signs. The analyst called the rebound a "bear market bounce." Brown talked about past market rebounds during recessionary periods to prove his point:

<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>
"I saw all the tables, all the graphs, all the charts. What didn't necessarily accompany that commentary was the context in which we've seen the other nine best days of all time," Brown said. "And I'll spoil it for you—typically, they take place in years like 1933, 2008, and 1931, and they happen when the market is in a 75% drawdown. A 48% drop on October 13th of 2008 was the sixth best day ever. We had a huge 11.6% run, but we were already down 35.9% from the high."
While Brown acknowledged that we are not in a "statistical" bear market, he believes that important sectors with large market caps were in their "own" bear market, and warned affluent investors about the challenges ahead.
"While it was exhilarating and remarkable and a lot of fun, with a lot of backslapping and a lot of rich kids who are really proud of themselves—because they grew up insulated from the consequences of their own actions—the end result today is, ‘Oh wait a minute, maybe we put the financial crisis on hold, but we still get to have a recession,'" he said on CNBC.

The analyst said that he is not shorting the market and avoids being "too negative" but wants to present an accurate picture of the market.
Treasury Market Swings ‘Maniacal'
During the CNBC segment, Brown called the recent volatility in the Treasury market "maniacal" and said that if the Federal Reserve steps in to stabilize the bond market, it would be a negative sign. Browns specifically mentioned the 45 basis-point swing in the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield between April 4 and April 9, which was the biggest since 2022.
"We&#8217;ve only seen that seven other times going back to the year 2000 and on every single instance the S&amp;P was down 25% or worse that we&#8217;ve seen so again that is a classic feature of when the S&amp;P is down big you get those huge swings in the 10-year," Brown said.

Buying Opportunity for Long-Term Investors
Despite the volatility, Brown recommended investors buy only if they have a long-term horizon.
&#8220;You should not expect that the buys you make today will necessarily be rewarded a week from now it&#8217;s just a different environment," said Brown.

$1000 Invested In This Stock 5 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

First American Division, First American Data & Analytics, Launches VeriTitle To Accelerate The Mortgage And Home Equity Loan Origination Process By Delivering Critical Title Intelligence To Lenders As Borrowers Begin Their Loan Applications

In the latest cryptocurrency market update, Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>) and Pepe (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">PEPE</a>) are all demonstrating potential signs of a bullish reversal, indicating a possible recovery from recent bearish trends.
What Happened: According to data, Bitcoin is testing a key technical formation that could reverse&nbsp;its recent bearish trends. The&nbsp;digital currency is trading just below $85,000, nearing the 200 EMA at approximately $87,500,&nbsp;and challenging the 100 EMA.&nbsp;
A firm&nbsp;close above the 200 EMA&nbsp;could signal&nbsp;a significant death cross reversal, sparking renewed optimism in the broader cryptocurrency market.
In addition to Bitcoin, Solana is also displaying potential signs of a trend reversal. The asset&#8217;s strengthening price performance&nbsp;and a technical setup that&nbsp;has historically signaled the start of bull markets are noteworthy.

Solana has crossed&nbsp;its 50-day Exponential Moving Average&nbsp;(EMA), a critical resistance level often marking the beginning of sustained rallies. Solana&#8217;s current price stands at $134, reflecting a daily increase of over 2%.
Pepe, a popular meme token, is also showing signs of a possible bullish reversal, mirroring Solana&#8217;s trend. A&nbsp;breakout above the 50-day Exponential&nbsp;Moving Average (EMA) has typically signaled trend reversals, and Pepe appears to be following suit. Pepe&#8217;s current price is $0.000000730, marking a daily increase of nearly 2.4%.
Why It Matters: The potential bullish reversals of Bitcoin, Solana, and Pepe are significant indicators of the cryptocurrency market&#8217;s resilience. Despite recent bearish trends, these digital assets are demonstrating their ability to bounce back, which could inspire renewed investor confidence. 
The technical indicators suggest that the market could be entering a period of recovery, which would be a welcome development for investors who have weathered recent market volatility.

Bitcoin, Solana and Pepe Show Bullish Reversal Signs Amid Market Recovery

If you&#8217;re looking to support an adult child with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/04/44778031/she-was-29-months-from-erasing-247k-in-student-debt-now-her-forgiveness-is-frozen">student loan debt</a>, you may be wondering whether there's a tax benefit for doing so — especially if you're in a strong financial position. That's exactly what one listener asked Suze Orman on her "<a href="https://omny.fm/shows/suze-ormans-women-and-money/ask-kt-suze-anything-revisiting-can-i-give-my-child-money-and-get-a-tax-deduction">Women &amp; Money</a>" podcast.
Here's how the question — and Orman's answer — break down.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Gift Tax Exclusion Doesn't Equal a Deduction</h2>
Marlene, a 75-year-old listener, wrote in to ask whether she could give her 50-year-old son $17,000 to help with student loans and get a tax deduction in the process. According to Orman, the answer is no.
Don't Miss:
<ul>
<li>Inspired by Uber and Airbnb &#8211; Deloitte's fastest-growing software company is transforming 7 billion smartphones into income-generating assets &#8211; <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mode-mobile-2">with $1,000 you can invest at just $0.26/share!</a></li>
<li>How do billionaires pay less in income tax than you?<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/tax-deferring-adv"> Tax deferring is their number one strategy</a>.</li>
</ul>
"You can absolutely gift your son or anybody you want&#8230; as many people a year as you want, currently, $18,000 a year," Orman explained. "However, it&#8217;s not taxable to them, and it&#8217;s not a tax write-off to you on any level."
This refers to the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/gift-tax-rate">IRS annual gift tax exclusion</a>, which allowed you to give up to $18,000 per person in 2024, now $19,000 in 2025, without needing to file a gift tax return. But while the gift itself may be tax-free for both giver and receiver, it doesn't reduce your taxable income like a charitable donation or deductible expense might.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Helping With Loans Is Generous — But Not Tax-Advantaged</h2>
Even if the funds go directly toward student loans, the IRS still considers that a personal gift. That means it won't trigger a deduction, no matter how good your intentions.
Trending: BlackRock is calling 2025 the year of alternative assets. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">One firm from NYC has quietly built a group of 60,000+ investors who have all joined in on an alt asset class previously exclusive to billionaires like Bezos and Gates.</a>
So what's the alternative? Some people consider donating to a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that provides student loan relief, but that typically won't help your own child. Direct payments to a lender don't qualify as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/02/44044478/kevin-oleary-questions-charity-transparency-his-biggest-concern-with-giving-is-not-knowing-if-the-money-actually-went-where-it-was-promised">charitable giving</a>.
Orman also cautioned listeners not to mix financial goals.&nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Should You Pay the Loan Anyway?</h2>
Although there's no tax break for helping with student loans, Orman encouraged Marlene to think beyond taxes.
"If you&#8217;re very comfortable, does it make you uncomfortable when you see your son suffering under a lot of student loans at the age of 50?" Orman asked. She pointed out that financial help can be meaningful, but only if it's used wisely and doesn't enable poor financial habits.
See Also: Hasbro, MGM, and Skechers trust this AI marketing firm — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/rad-intel">invest pre-IPO from $0.60 per share now</a>.
Ultimately, she advised Marlene to consider whether paying off the loan would actually help her son — or simply enable ongoing financial issues. "You and you alone have to decide that," Orman said.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Bottom Line</h2>
You can gift up to $19,000 a year to your child without triggering gift taxes, but it won't give you a tax deduction. If you're in a strong financial position, helping your child with student loans could be a meaningful gesture — but, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/04/44715539/suze-orman-says-when-sentiment-is-this-fearful-its-not-the-time-to-sell-but-if-youll-need-the-mo">Orman</a>, it's important to consider whether it truly helps them in the long run.
"I hope that Marlene has the courage to stand in her own truth, no matter which one of those things it happens to be, because she&#8217;s OK no matter what," Orman said.
