LinkedIn, owned by Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), Indeed and Greenhouse have all introduced new AI-powered tools designed to help job seekers gauge their chances of receiving responses from potential employers.
What Happened: LinkedIn is currently testing &#8220;responsiveness insights&#8221; on select job postings, with plans to expand this feature across the platform, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-02-02/linkedin-indeed-launch-tools-to-help-job-seekers-narrow-their-search?srnd=homepage-asia">reported</a> Bloomberg on Sunday.
The platform is also improving its AI-powered &#8220;job match&#8221; feature. It assesses how well a candidate fits a job listing. The goal is to reduce application overload by guiding users toward roles where they have a better chance of getting a response.
Indeed is upgrading its &#8220;responsive employer&#8221; badges, which have been in place since 2018. The platform now offers more detailed insights, such as median response times, to assist job seekers in identifying companies that are more likely to respond.

Greenhouse is experimenting with a badge system to verify employers&#8217; commitment to respectful and communicative hiring practices. These badges aim to reward companies that uphold high standards in their recruitment processes.
These developments come as job seekers face increasing challenges in the labor market, with many experiencing long-term unemployment. The new tools are designed to improve transparency and efficiency in the hiring process, benefiting both applicants and employers.
Why It Matters: Last year, more than 14 million job seekers&#8217; applications were entirely ignored in just one quarter, the report noted, citing one hiring platform.

The introduction of these AI tools by LinkedIn and Indeed comes at a time when the U.S. labor market is showing mixed signals.
The U.S. economy added <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/01/42912480/us-economy-adds-256000-payrolls-in-december-as-tight-labor-market-tops-forecasts-dollar-treasury-yields-spike">256,000 jobs in December</a>, surpassing expectations and highlighting the resilience of the labor market.
However, a December report indicated a slowdown in hiring, with private businesses adding only 122,000 jobs in the last month of 2024, marking <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/01/42873182/us-private-businesses-add-122000-jobs-in-december-the-labor-market-downshifted-to-a-more-modest-pace-of-growth">a decrease from November's 146,000</a>.

14 Million Job Seekers Didn't Hear Back From Potential Employers In Just A Single Quarter Last Year: Now LinkedIn Is Moving To Change That With AI Help

The Bank of Japan policymakers expressed growing concerns about inflation risks and yen weakness during their January meeting, where they raised rates to a 17-year high of 0.5%, according to meeting summary notes released on Monday.
Several board members emphasized the need for &#8220;timely and gradual&#8221; rate increases, citing mounting price pressures and potential financial overheating. The central bank&#8217;s latest move, approved in an 8-1 vote, marks its second rate hike since exiting its decade-long stimulus <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42135336/usdjpy-awaits-potential-stimulus-impact">program in March 2024</a>.

The yen has shown modest strength since the last rate hike decision on Jan. 24, with USD/JPY edging down 0.21% to 155.68 from 156.02. Meanwhile, the U.S. Dollar Index has climbed 1.96% to 109.55, reflecting broader currency market dynamics.
BOJ Governor Kazuo Ueda <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/01/42995151/bojs-kazuo-ueda-signals-rate-hikes-japanese-bond-yields-rise-to-14-year-high-what-the-recent-past-tells-us-about-impact-on-us-markets">maintains a hawkish stance</a>, indicating readiness for additional rate increases if wage growth continues to support consumption and stable inflation. While some members expressed optimism about a U.S. soft landing, others cautioned about risks from potential U.S. inflation resurgence and escalating trade tensions.
Real interest rates remain &#8220;significantly negative&#8221; even after the hike, according to one board member, suggesting room for further monetary tightening as Japan aims to sustainably achieve its 2% inflation target.

Bank Of Japan Signals Further Rate Hikes Possible Amid Inflation, Economic Overheating Worries

On Sunday, OpenAI revealed a new feature for ChatGPT called &#8220;deep research,&#8221; which autonomously plans and executes multi-step data searches.
What Happened: This feature allows users to input questions using text, images, and files like PDFs or spreadsheets. It takes five to 30 minutes to generate a response but goes beyond text generation.
The deep research feature displays a sidebar summary that outlines its research process, includes citations, and provides a reference overview.

However, despite its capabilities, OpenAI acknowledges that deep research can sometimes &#8220;hallucinate&#8221; or confuse authoritative information with rumors.
The tool is designed to operate at a research analyst level, but it is still refining its accuracy and reliability.
OpenAI&#8217;s deep research is available for Pro users, offering up to 100 queries per month <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/12/42356469/openai-unveils-200-chatgpt-pro-subscription-inside-the-o1-reasoning-model-and-what-it-means-for-power-users">for a $200 fee</a>. Limited access is also available for Plus, Team, and Enterprise users.
The model powering deep research achieved a 26.6% accuracy on an AI benchmark, surpassing previous models, said OpenAI.

OpenAI's 'Deep Research' Promises AI-Powered Analysis — Here's What It Can (And Can't) Do

Tesla Inc.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) global export strategy faces mounting pressure from rising trade tensions and persistently high interest rates, according to prominent Tesla investor Gary Black.
What Happened: Black, Managing Partner at The Future Fund LLC, warned on Sunday that elevated long-term interest rates continue to weigh on auto sales across the industry, affecting major manufacturers including Tesla, General Motors Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>), Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>), Stellantis N.V. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STLA#NYSE">STLA</a>), and Rivian Automotive Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RIVN#NASDAQ">RIVN</a>).
The warning comes as President Donald Trump implements aggressive trade measures, including 25% tariffs on Canadian and Mexican imports effective Feb. 1. These actions have sparked concerns about retaliatory measures that could disrupt global automotive trade.
According to data from Troy Teslike cited by Black, Tesla exported 323,499 vehicles in 2024, representing 18.1% of its total 1.79 million deliveries. The company&#8217;s Shanghai factory led export operations, shipping 246,910 units overseas, while U.S. facilities exported 49,747 vehicles and the Berlin plant sent 26,842 units abroad.
&#8220;That is the volume at risk if Trump&#8217;s tariffs develop into a full-scale retaliatory trade war similar to what happened globally in the 1930s,&#8221; Black said.
In the 1930s, the world experienced the Great Depression, a severe global economic downturn that lasted from 1929 to the early 1940s. One of the key events that worsened the economic crisis was the rise of protectionist trade policies, most notably the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1930 in the United States.

You&#8217;ve Got To Be Kidding Me!&#8217; Kevin O&#8217;Leary Slams Credit Card Debt As &#8216;The Real Silent Killer In America&#8217;</a>
Why It Matters: The export concerns emerge against a backdrop of steady U.S. interest rates, with the Federal Reserve maintaining its target range at 4.25% to 4.5% after ending a series of rate cuts that began in September. Treasury yields, while declining from late-2024 peaks, remain elevated compared to levels seen when the Fed began easing policy.
The combination of trade tensions and high borrowing costs poses a dual challenge for automakers as they navigate an increasingly complex global market environment.

Gary Black Warns Tesla's 18% Export Volume At Risk Amid Trump Tariffs: 'Full-Scale Retaliatory Trade War' Possible

Elon Musk, the lead of the Department of Government Efficiency, backed the idea of using blockchain technology on Sunday to streamline the U.S. Treasury.
What happened: The Tesla and SpaceX CEO accused the Treasury Department officials of flouting rules to sanction government payments.
"Career Treasury officials are breaking the law every hour of every day by approving payments that are fraudulent or do not match the funding laws passed by Congress," Musk wrote in an X post.
Musk cited 31 U.S.C. Section 3325, which requires government disbursing officials to obtain certification from the head of the relevant executive agency before authorizing such payments.

In response, widely followed X user Mario Nawfal asked Musk whether it would be wise to place the Treasury on the blockchain to plug these holes, to which the tech titan said, &#8220;Yes.&#8221;

Elon Musk Says Treasury Officials 'Breaking The Law Every Hour' By Approving Fraudulent Payments — DOGE Lead Wants A Blockchain Fix

On Sunday, renowned economist and Obama-era Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers criticized President Trump&#8217;s recent tariff impositions, describing them as a &#8220;bully strategy&#8221; that could have far-reaching negative impacts.
What Happened: In a series of posts on X, Summers voiced his disapproval of Trump&#8217;s tariffs, stating they are a &#8220;strategic gift to Xi Jinping.&#8221; He warned that the tariffs could lead to price increases for oil, food, and cars, possibly necessitating a response from the Federal Reserve in the form of raised interest rates.

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

Summers further predicted job losses in the industrial heartland as American producers struggle with higher input costs. He also expressed concerns over the potential loss of trust from Canada and Mexico, and the subsequent economic and security risks.

Summers summarised the thread by saying, &#8220;Xi Jinping is given an excuse for his economic failures and a more open door to all our allies as we prove our unreliability by bullying.&#8221;

This move comes in response to Trump&#8217;s executive order imposing a 25% tariff on most U.S. imports from Canada.
Former White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci also expressed his concerns over the tariffs, urging elected officials to take a stand against what he termed as the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/02/43423724/scaramucci-warns-against-trumps-tariffs-urges-lawmakers-to-take-stand-crazy-nonsense">&#8220;crazy nonsense&#8221;</a> of Trump&#8217;s new tariffs on Canada, China, and Mexico.

Trump Tariffs A 'Strategic Gift' To Xi Jinping's China, Says Obama-Era Treasury Secretary: 'Jobs In Industrial Heartland Will Be Lost'

Billionaire entrepreneur <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/43281034/im-in-mark-cuban-asked-how-can-i-solve-working-class-problems-and-one-answer-kept-coming-up">Mark Cuban</a> has expressed passing interest in purchasing Fox News, stating that if he had money to buy the network, he would do so "in a heartbeat."&nbsp; While discussing the baby boomer generation with Wired, Cuban explained that owning the network would be a key way to reach what he refers to as the "Fox News generation."&nbsp;
In the interview, Cuban broke down the financial realities of such a purchase. The market capitalization of Fox Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FOX#NASDAQ">FOX</a>, FOXA)) at the time of the interview (in September) sat around $15.6 billion–the corporation's value has increased by over 30% since then.&nbsp;

</ul>
At the time, Cuban estimated that acquiring the network would require paying at least a 50% premium, bringing the price up to around $22 billion. He also said that changes would need to be made to the network, and that might require another $2 billion. While he said some things could be sold off, he estimated that the total net cost could range between $15 billion and $20 billion.
"I don't have $15 or $20 billion in cash sitting around," Cuban admitted, emphasizing that even with his substantial fortune, such an acquisition is out of reach for him. Cuban's current networth is estimated at $5.7 billion.&nbsp;
Cuban has previously used the term &#8220;Fox News generation&#8221; to describe how his own generation—baby boomers—have shifted in their views over time. In an earlier interview with The New York Times, he stated how the generation known for &#8220;sex, drugs, and rock and roll&#8221; had become one that, in his view, condemns movements like Black Lives Matter and is heavily influenced by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/25/01/42896754/from-23-5-million-florida-home-to-nyc-engaged-fox-news-host-sean-hannity-to-bridge-the-distance">Fox News</a>.

During his interview with Wired, he said the boomer generation is a disappointment. When asked if there was an ‘antidote' to counterbalance the negative views Cuban perceives from this generation, he was blunt: "You buy Fox News."
In addition to discussing Fox News, Cuban also entertained the idea of buying X, the social-media platform formerly known as Twitter. When asked whether he would consider purchasing the company from current owner <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/25/01/43335267/some-employees-survive-but-a-whole-lot-dont-says-elon-musks-biographer-about-his-demon-mode-in-which-hes-coldly-brutal-to-people">Elon Musk</a>, Cuban responded positively but noted that Musk is unlikely to sell.
"There's no reason for him to sell it," Cuban said. When the interviewer jokingly suggested convincing Musk that selling was his own idea, Cuban admitted, "I wouldn't know how to do that."

While Cuban's remarks about buying Fox News and X were speculative, they highlight his interest in media influence and control. His statements suggest that he sees ownership as a powerful tool for shaping public discourse, particularly among older audiences who heavily consume cable news. However, without the necessary capital, such a move remains purely hypothetical.
For now, Fox News remains under the control of Rupert Murdoch's media empire, and Musk continues to hold ownership of X. Whether Cuban—or any other <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/12/42716098/musk-to-arnault-heres-a-look-at-2024s-billionaire-boom-and-bust-who-gained-and-who-lost">billionaire</a>—will step in to shake up the media landscape remains to be seen.

Mark Cuban Said If He Had Enough Money To Buy Fox News, He'd 'Buy It In A Heartbeat' - Estimates It Could Turn Around For $15B-$20B

You may not have heard of Nicolai Tangen, but his name carries immense weight in the world of investing. He's the CEO of Norway's sovereign wealth fund, a financial juggernaut that is worth nearly $2 trillion. It is the largest of its kind in the world and as you might imagine, investor's ears perk up whenever he speaks. His latest advice might come as quite a surprise. Nicolai thinks you should dump tech stocks.
That advice seems even more curious when you consider that the fund he's responsible for managing owns $173 billion in Magnificent Seven stocks. The Magnificent Seven's current makeup is a who's who of big tech. It includes companies like Google, Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), Amazon (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), and<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43256560/nvidia-faces-investor-panic-as-chinas-deepseek-emerges-but-top-analyst-predicts-higher-ai-infrastructure-demand-despite-market-jitters-the-market-is-overreacting-to-deepseeks-success"> Nivida</a> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>). More to the point, Mag Seven stocks powered a major stock market boom in 2024. So, why is he telling investors to be cautious?

</ul>
Tangen made his comments at the recent World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, which hosts most of the world's wealthiest families, investors, and business moguls. Speaking to Bloomberg, Tangen said, "The best thing to do is always to do the opposite of everybody else. What will that be today? Well, if you were to do the opposite of everybody else, it would be to sell the US tech stocks, buy China, sell private credit, just buy stuff that is out of fashion."
Simply put, Tangen is telling investors to do the opposite of what he's done to build wealth for Norges Bank Investment Management. Like many big funds, it has been riding the profit wave the Magnificent Seven has generated since the emergence of AI. According to Bloomberg, Norges Bank's six largest investments are Magnificent Seven stocks. That's in addition to $5.6 billion in Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) shares.

As recently as last summer, Norge Bank's semi-annual report was touting the growth of its tech portfolio, which was up almost 28% at the time. With that said, there is more than just a contrarian streak behind Tangen's warning on the Magnificent Seven. Like any wise investor, he's riding the tech wave while also keeping a watchful eye out for signs of a bubble that could pop.
Although tech has been booming, there is a high degree of interconnectivity between the top companies in the Magnificent Seven. They are almost all involved in a race to improve AI or provide services for AI's advancement. That interlinks their fates with chip and semiconductor makers like Nvidia, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) and<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/01/43221806/nvidia-amd-broadcom-smci-tsmc-and-other-tech-giants-lead-monday-pre-market-selloff-as-nasdaq-100-futures-plummet-over-650-points-amid-reports-of-chinese-ai-startup-deepseek-overtaking-chatgpt"> </a>Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>). That's great for these companies as they explode in value, but it ties a lot of the stock market's wealth into one single sector.

According to Fortune Magazine, the Magnificent Seven accounts for nearly 33% of the S&amp;P 500's total value. The profit they generated represents 75% of the S&amp;P 500's growth in earnings for 2024. It's not hard to see why Tangen is concerned when you consider the flip side of that coin. Hundreds of billions of dollars in investor wealth will disappear very quickly the next time there is a major market correction or a sector-wide downturn.
Tangen sees that risk very clearly. During an interview with the Financial Times Unhedged podcast, Tangen warned, "The concentration is absolutely worrying. It means that there is a risk in the stock market which we have never seen before. So, there are very few companies tied into them, and they are getting bigger and bigger and more and more important."

When it comes to personal finance, few things spark more debate than credit card usage. However, it seems that for Kevin O&#8217;Leary, the &#8220;Shark Tank&#8221; investor and businessman, the issue couldn't be more obvious—<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38299693/heres-the-gravest-error-you-can-make-with-credit-cards-like-owing-money-to-loan-sharks">credit card debt is a financial trap</a>. O&#8217;Leary's recent <a href="https://x.com/kevinolearytv/status/1883537883501310043">remarks</a> about the dangers of overspending and credit card debt struck a chord with many—and for good reason.
O&#8217;Leary's advice is to simply track your spending. &#8220;Take a piece of paper, you don&#8217;t need a computer, write down the money you made in 90 days and how much you spent during that same period," <a href="https://x.com/kevinolearytv/status/1883537883501310043">he said in an interview</a> with local Fox morning show "Good Day New York" earlier this week.&nbsp;

</ul>
Most people are shocked to find they're spending more than they're earning. And where does that excess spending end up? On credit cards. With interest rates hovering around 21%, carrying a balance is like pouring money down the drain. O'Leary calls it "the silent killer" of American finances, and he's not exaggerating.
Credit card balances, which now <a href="https://www.newyorkfed.org/microeconomics/hhdc">total</a> $1.17 trillion outstanding, increased by $24 billion during the third quarter alone and are 8.1% higher than they were a year earlier. These figures underline just how deeply entrenched credit card debt has become in American households.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Mark Cuban's Take</h2>
O&#8217;Leary isn't the only one sounding the alarm.

In a chat with financial guru Dave Ramsey on "The Ramsey Show" last May, Cuban didn't hold back, saying, &#8220;If you use your credit cards, you do not want to be rich.&#8221; His solution is to pay off all your credit cards and burn them.
Cuban broke it down like this: if your credit card interest rate is 15% to 20%, paying it off is like earning that percentage back. In his view, there's no better return on investment. Ramsey, who's built a career on helping people get out of debt, wholeheartedly agreed. He highlighted a Forbes survey that found 75% of wealthy people prioritize staying out of debt. &#8220;Life is better without credit cards,&#8221; Ramsey added, emphasizing that financial freedom starts with ditching high-interest debt.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Credit Cards Aren't Always the Villain</h2>
Not everyone agrees with the no-credit-card approach. For many Americans, responsibly using credit cards is a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-credit-cards-to-build-credit">way to build a credit history</a>, which is crucial for securing loans for big-ticket items like homes. Colin Palfrey, chief marketing officer at personal finance management company Crediful, points out, &#8220;For many average Americans, buying a home is a major part of their wealth-building plans, and not being able to establish a credit history will make it harder to get good rates.&#8221;

'21% Interest Rates?! You've Got To Be Kidding Me!' Kevin O'Leary Slams Credit Card Debt As 'The Real Silent Killer In America'

The Trump administration has rescinded Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for more than 300,000 Venezuelans in the United States, leaving them vulnerable to deportation in the coming months, according to government documents <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/02/us/politics/trump-venezuela-temporary-protected-status.html">obtained</a> by The New York Times and reported Sunday.
The news comes one day after President Donald Trump's <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/113929394841474581">Saturday post</a> on Truth Social announcing that Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro had met with Trump administration official Richard Grenell and agreed to take back people who entered the U.S. illegally. The <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/miami/news/senior-trump-official-travels-to-venezuela-for-talks-on-migrants/">meeting in Caracas</a> also led to the release of six US detainees held in Venezuela.
The NYT report underscores Trump's crackdown on the TPS program, which he began during his first term (2017-2021) though his efforts at the time were blocked by federal courts. TPS is normally available to people whose home country experienced a natural disaster, armed conflict or other extraordinary events.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/kristi-noem">Kristi Noem</a>, Homeland Security Secretary, said TPS was no longer necessary because it did not serve the national interest of the United States. according to the administration. 
"After reviewing country conditions and considering whether permitting Venezuelan nationals covered by the 2023 designation is contrary to the national interest of the United States, in consultation with the appropriate U.S. government agencies, the secretary of homeland security has determined that Venezuela no longer continues to meet the conditions for the 2023 designation," the administration's notice states, per the NY Times.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Trump Administration Moving Quickly</h2>
In past TPS terminations, such as for El Salvador and Haiti, the affected individuals were granted at least 12 to 18 months before their status expired. This time, however, the administration is moving more swiftly. Venezuelans who received TPS 2023 will lose their protected status just 60 days after the termination notice is published.
Republican critics have long argued that TPS had evolved into a de facto permanent immigration program, rather than the temporary relief it was originally intended to provide.
More than 300,000 Venezuelans now hold TPS while another 250,000 have protections that extend through September. While the latter group is not immediately affected, the recent Trump administration decision suggests their status could also be in jeopardy.
At the time of this writing, there was no response as yet from the Maduro government in Venezuela.

300,000 Venezuelans Lose Protected Immigration Status: Trump Official Says Program Is 'Contrary To The National Interest'

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) is reportedly facing challenges in the burgeoning fields of artificial intelligence (AI) and augmented reality (AR), suggesting a potential decline in its product innovation prowess. This comes despite the company posting record-high quarterly revenue.
Bloomberg columnist Mark Gurman in his <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/newsletters/2025-02-02/apple-aapl-ai-and-ar-struggles-show-it-has-lost-some-of-its-product-edge?srnd=undefined&amp;sref=TBDibEcD">latest</a> weekly &#8220;Power On&#8221; revealed that Apple&#8217;s ventures in AI and AR are trailing behind competitors such as Samsung Electronics Co., Alphabet Inc.&#8216;s Google (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>), and various Chinese phone manufacturers. Despite efforts to position Apple Intelligence as a leading AI solution, the platform lags years behind its rivals.
Apple&#8217;s venture into AR has been equally challenging. The Vision Pro headset, despite its impressive engineering, has not resonated with consumers who prefer a lightweight pair of glasses &#8211; a product that Apple currently does not offer.

Apple&#8217;s struggles also extend to its flagship product, the iPhone, which hasn&#8217;t&nbsp;seen a major upgrade since&nbsp;2020. While Apple&#8217;s fundamentals remain strong and it continues to generate substantial revenue, these hurdles indicate a potential loss in its product development edge.
Apple&#8217;s difficulties in AI and AR could have significant implications for its future innovation capabilities. The company&#8217;s inability to keep pace with competitors in these emerging fields could impact its market position and profitability in the long run. 
Furthermore, the lack of major upgrades to the iPhone, its most important product, may also affect its market share and consumer loyalty. 
As such, these challenges underscore the importance of continuous innovation and adaptation in the fast-paced tech industry.

Apple's Struggles in AI and AR Indicate a Loss in Product Edge

Billionaire entrepreneur Mark Cuban has put forth an idea that could potentially shake up the dominance of tech giants in the social media space. Cuban shared his strategy on the social news network Bluesky.
What Happened: Cuban&#8217;s proposition is straightforward: dedicate 20 minutes each day to encourage friends, family, and businesses to join Bluesky. 
The platform currently has 1.5 million daily users, significantly less than its competitor X, which boasts 18 million. Despite this, Cuban views Bluesky, a decentralized platform, as the &#8220;last, best chance&#8221; for the majority to reclaim power over social media.
Since the November election, Cuban has been actively using Bluesky, gathering a following of 869,000. 
He has lauded the platform as a &#8220;less hateful world&#8221; compared to X. At the CES event in Las Vegas, Cuban urged the audience to join him on Bluesky, criticizing X for its content and lack of effective features.
However, Cuban is not advocating for a complete shift from X, but rather the growth of Bluesky as a platform that can&#8217;t be monopolized by a few. 
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/01/43219136/cuban-on-musk-i-have-no-problem-throwing-elon-under-the-bus-but-ill-save-it-for-when-its-truly-deserved">Cuban on Musk: &#8216;I Have No Problem Throwing Elon Under the Bus, but I&#8217;ll Save It for When It&#8217;s Truly Deserved&#8217;</a>
He asserts that there&#8217;s no downside to creating a profile on Bluesky, particularly as the platform expands and the influence of other social media platforms begins to wane.
In a <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:y5xyloyy7s4a2bwfeimj7r3b/post/3lf46sttalc2m?ref_src=embed&amp;ref_url=https%253A%252F%252Fwww.inc.com%252Fbill-murphy-jr%252Fmark-cuban-just-suggested-a-20-minute-daily-habit-to-destabilize-elon-musk-mark-zuckerberg-and-president-trump%252F91104367">post </a>in the platform, Cuban said, &#8220;Is it worth 20 MINS a day to proactively recruit and bring your friends, neighbors, relatives, businesses, anyone who is or could be a user, to @bsky.app? If Bluesky ends up with more users than the others, you destabilize musk, zuck, trump."
Why It Matters: Cuban&#8217;s endorsement of Bluesky comes at a time when the power dynamics of social media are under scrutiny. His strategy could potentially disrupt the status quo, challenging the dominance of tech giants in the social media landscape. 
By advocating for a decentralized platform, Cuban is promoting a more democratic approach to social media, where power is not concentrated in the hands of a few. 
This could usher in a new era of social media, where users have more control over their online experiences.

Retirement planning has become a breeding ground for fearmongering. Financial experts and news headlines often leave you convinced you'll need a dragon's hoard of gold to survive your golden years. But let's take a breath – what if you <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/11/42018132/can-you-guess-what-percent-of-people-have-1-million-saved-spoiler-alert-its-far-lower-than-most-statistics-lead-you-to-believe">actually have $1 million saved</a> by the time you hit 65? Are you doomed to rationing instant ramen or is that number better than they're letting on? Spoiler: You're probably better off than you think.
Here's the real breakdown of how long that $1 million could stretch – and some practical tips to make it last even longer.

<ul>
<li>The average American couple has saved this much money for retirement —<a href="http://www.benzinga.com/money/smartasset"> How do you compare</a>?</li>
<li>Can you guess how many Americans successfully retire with $1,000,000 saved?<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/1milsaved"> The percentage may shock you</a>.</li>
</ul>
How Far Can $1 Million Take You?
The simple answer? It depends. However, using some averages, $1 million could last 18-30 years. Here's the math:
Average Annual Expenses: According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), households led by someone 65 or older spent around $60,087 per year in 2023.
Social Security to the Rescue: The average Social Security benefit as of 2024 is $1,907 per month or $22,884 per year. That means Social Security will cover about a third of your annual expenses.
Net Draw from Savings: Subtracting Social Security, your retirement fund needs to cover about $37,203 annually.
Years of Cushion: Divide $1 million by $37,203 and you've got nearly 27 years of living expenses or 26.88 to be exact.

What Could Shorten (or Stretch) Your Nest Egg?
The longevity of $1 million depends on key variables:
• Where You Live: Retiring in a high-cost state like California might burn through your funds faster than a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/07/39616687/the-surprising-retirement-hotspots-growing-fastest-in-america-none-in-florida-but-even-hotter">budget-friendly haven</a> like Mississippi.
• Health care Costs: Healthcare expenses for a retired couple average $315,000 over retirement, according to Fidelity. That's not pocket change.
• Inflation: Even modest inflation can erode purchasing power over time. That $60,000 budget today? It might feel like $80,000 in 15 years.
• Spending Habits: Are you splurging on cruises every year or enjoying simpler pleasures like gardening and book clubs?

Strategies to Stretch $1 Million Further
1. Delay Social Security: If you <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/04/38439971/should-you-begin-collecting-social-security-at-62-67-or-70-the-right-answer-may-depend-on-your-b">wait until age 70 to claim</a>, your monthly benefit could increase by up to 32%, which is thousands more annually.
2. Retire in a Cheaper Location: Consider downsizing or relocating to a state or country with a lower cost of living.
3. Stick to the 4% Rule: This guideline suggests withdrawing 4% of your savings annually (adjusted for inflation) to make your money last 30+ years.
4. Budget Like a Pro: Track your spending and cut unnecessary expenses. Small tweaks – like reducing dining out – can make a big difference over time.
5. Plan for Healthcare: Consider long-term care insurance or health savings accounts (HSAs) to offset hefty medical bills.

Do You Know How Long $1 Million Will Last If You Retire At 65? Here's A Hint – Longer Than You're Led To Think!

In a recent cybersecurity incident, customer data at one of America&#8217;s largest banks was compromised, as per a government filing.
What Happened: TD Bank, the 10th-largest bank in the US by total assets, disclosed in a <a href="https://www.mass.gov/doc/2025-110-td-bank-na/download">report </a>that a former employee had unauthorized access to and shared sensitive customer data from August to December 2022.
The breached data potentially includes names, contact information, birth dates, account numbers, and transactional data. While the exact number of affected customers remains undisclosed,&nbsp;at least eight customers in&nbsp;Massachusetts have been confirmed to be impacted.
The bank has since terminated the employee responsible for the breach and is currently conducting an investigation in conjunction with law enforcement. TD Bank&#8217;s corporate security team is also participating in the probe.

As a remedial measure, TD Bank is providing the affected customers with&nbsp;a complimentary membership to an&nbsp;online fraud prevention and detection&nbsp;service. The bank is also assisting in&nbsp;the process of closing and&nbsp;opening accounts for enhanced security.
TD Bank customers, depending on their state of residence, have the option to&nbsp;place a security freeze on&nbsp;their credit reports with the&nbsp;three major US consumer reporting&nbsp;agencies.
Why It Matters: This incident underscores the growing concern over cybersecurity in the banking sector. Insider threats, whether intentional or accidental, pose a significant risk to the security of sensitive customer data. 
Banks must continually enhance their cybersecurity measures to prevent such incidents and protect their customers&#8217; information. 
This breach at TD Bank serves as a stark reminder of the importance of robust internal controls and stringent employee access policies.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Latest On Antero Midstream</h2>
On Oct. 30, 2024, the company announced its Q3 2024 earnings, posting adjusted EPS of $0.23, in line with expectations, while the revenues of $269.87 million missed the consensus estimate of $272.175 million, as reported by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41636807/antero-midstream-q3-2024-adj-eps-0-23-inline-sales-269-870m-miss-272-175m-estimate">Benzinga</a>.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How Can You Earn $100 Per Month As An Antero Midstream Investor?</h2>
If you want to make $100 per month — $1,200 annually — from Antero Midstream dividends, your investment value needs to be approximately $20,870, which is around 1,334 shares at $15.64 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 (5.75% in this case). So, $1,200 / 0.0575 = $20,870 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 Antero Midstream stock an attractive option for making a steady income of $100 per month by owning 1,334 shares of stock.&nbsp;

Here's How You Can Earn $100 In Monthly Passive Income By Investing In Antero Midstream Stock

President Donald Trump authorized a military operation targeting&nbsp;a high-ranking ISIS leader and&nbsp;his associates in Somalia.
What Happened: Trump announced the successful airstrike, which resulted in the death of multiple ISIS operatives, on his Truth Social network. According to Trump, the operation successfully destroyed the caves where the terrorists were hiding, eliminating many without any civilian casualties.
The primary target of the operation&nbsp;was a senior ISIS attack&nbsp;planner, whose identity and fate have been kept confidential. The airstrikes were carried out in the Cal-Miskaad mountains, located in the Bahaya region of Somalia.
In a post on Truth social, Trump <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/113929767736564719">wrote</a>, "This morning I ordered precision Military air strikes on the Senior&nbsp;ISIS&nbsp;Attack Planner and other terrorists he recruited and led in Somalia. These killers, who we found hiding in caves, threatened the United States and our Allies."
"The strikes destroyed the caves they live in, and killed many terrorists without, in any way, harming civilians," Trump wrote adding, "Our Military has targeted this ISIS Attack Planner for years, but Biden and his cronies wouldn't act quickly enough to get the job done. I did!"
"The message to ISIS and all others who would attack Americans is that "WE WILL FIND YOU, AND WE WILL KILL YOU!" Trump said in the post.

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth&nbsp;confirmed the operation&#8217;s success, stating that it significantly degraded &#8220;ISIS's&nbsp;ability to plot and conduct&nbsp;terrorist attacks threatening US citizens,&nbsp;our partners, and innocent civilians.&#8221;
The Somali president, Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, was briefed about the airstrike and expressed his gratitude for the United States&#8217; unwavering support in the global fight against terrorism.
This operation is a part of a larger initiative to eradicate ISIS. Just last week, local US-allied authorities initiated an operation&nbsp;to clear out 100 hideouts&nbsp;in the Cal-Miskaad cave system.
Why It Matters: The recent airstrike is a significant step in the ongoing fight against ISIS. It not only disrupts the terrorist organization&#8217;s operations but also sends a clear message of the United States&#8217; commitment to combating global terrorism. 
The operation&#8217;s success also signifies the effectiveness of the US&#8217;s strategic partnerships in the region, particularly with the local authorities in Somalia.
Furthermore, the operation underscores the importance of maintaining a strong and proactive defense strategy. By targeting high-ranking ISIS operatives, the US is effectively weakening the organization&#8217;s leadership structure, thereby hindering its ability to plan and execute terrorist attacks.
The airstrikes also demonstrate the US&#8217;s commitment to minimizing civilian casualties in its anti-terrorism operations. This approach not only upholds the principles of humanitarian law but also helps to maintain the local population&#8217;s support, a crucial factor in the long-term success of counter-terrorism efforts.

Trump Unleashes Airstrikes on ISIS in Somalia: 'We Will Find You, and We Will Kill You'

China&#8217;s latest artificial intelligence breakthrough has rattled U.S. security experts, with DeepSeek&#8217;s new model demonstrating that Beijing can innovate around American restrictions and potentially reshape the global AI landscape.
The Chinese firm&#8217;s &#8220;reasoning&#8221; model, released during Trump&#8217;s inauguration, matches top U.S. systems while costing a fraction to develop. DeepSeek <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/43244653/bitcoin-ethereum-solana-crash-heres-why-chinas-low-cost-ai-model-deepseek-may-be-to-blame">says it spent under $6 million using 2,000 lower-grade chips</a>, compared with Meta Platforms' (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) system requiring 16,000 premium processors.
The cost advantage signals a shift. While U.S. companies spend tens of millions training AI models, Chinese firms have found ways to create competitive systems despite export controls on advanced semiconductors.&nbsp;

The development threatens America&#8217;s technological edge just as AI becomes critical to military superiority.
&#8220;System destruction warfare&#8221; sits at the heart of China&#8217;s military AI strategy, according to the Center for European Policy Analysis. The approach targets vulnerable links between enemy sensors and platforms, using AI to process battlefield data and identify weak points for precision strikes.
The efficiency gains in Chinese AI development carry broader implications. If good-enough models can be trained cheaply, they will proliferate globally as countries seek technological independence from U.S. systems. The rising cost-per-query may also drive development of specialized AI models optimized for specific tasks.

&#8220;Even if the industry stays on today&#8217;s track, the widespread adoption of Chinese AI around the world could give the CCP enormous political influence,&#8221; The Economist reported last week, noting that "in the worst case, AI could be as deadly as nuclear weapons.".
Security experts warn that China&#8217;s progress demands a U.S. response beyond export controls. While restrictions on semiconductor sales have slowed Chinese advancement, Beijing&#8217;s ability to innovate around obstacles suggests a more comprehensive strategy is needed.

As AI capabilities expand, the first nation to achieve superintelligence could gain decisive advantages across all domains.

'AI Could Be As Deadly As Nuclear Weapons': How China's Advances Change The Game

A recent call to The Ramsey Show featured a lottery winner who chose to keep his $22 million windfall a secret from nearly everyone, including his teenage children. Financial expert <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/01/43278283/36-year-old-inherits-3-5-million-and-asks-dave-ramsey-the-best-way-to-invest-it-i-buy-real-estat">Dave Ramsey</a> agreed with the decision, reinforcing the idea that managing wealth responsibly sometimes means keeping financial matters private.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Life-Changing Win – Kept Under Wraps</h2>
The caller, nearing 50 years old, revealed that he and a group of coworkers had won a multi-state lottery. After taxes, his share came out to around $22 million. Instead of making a grand announcement, he and his wife decided to keep their newfound wealth a secret. Only one sibling was aware of their winnings, and even their children remained in the dark.

</ul>
When Ramsey asked why he chose this approach, the caller explained that he had done extensive research on lottery winners. A significant percentage of winners lose their fortunes within a decade, often due to poor financial management and external pressures from friends and family.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Avoiding Entitlement and Financial Strain</h2>
One major reason for the secrecy was to prevent their children from becoming financially dependent before learning how to build their own careers and futures. "We just don't want them to grow up to be waiters—you know, waiting for us to die to get our money," the caller stated.
Ramsey and his co-host, John Delony, agreed with this logic. Ramsey laughed and responded, "I love it," while Delony added that he wouldn't tell his teenage children either. The consensus was that keeping the winnings private allows the children to develop their own ambitions and work ethic rather than relying on an inheritance.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Strategy for Giving Without Questions</h2>
The caller and his wife have also kept the information from extended family members. However, they have still found ways to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/10/41555075/millennials-and-gen-z-rely-on-parents-for-financial-support-survey-finds-its-costing-them-their-">help loved ones financially</a>. When the caller bought a new roof for his mother, he credited an inheritance from a recently deceased relative rather than revealing his lottery win. This strategy helped them provide assistance without raising questions about their financial status.
Ramsey supported this approach, emphasizing that financial privacy can help avoid unnecessary complications. "I like everything you're doing, and it's not anyone else's business," he told the caller.

He and his wife had already paid off their home before winning and had recently purchased two Toyotas with cash. Even after the windfall, they saw no need to upgrade their lifestyle drastically.
Ramsey praised the caller's decisions, particularly his commitment to financial discipline and long-term planning. The caller said he had assembled a team of financial advisors to help manage his wealth wisely.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Takeaway: Privacy Can Be a Smart Financial Choice</h2>
This conversation highlights the challenges that come with sudden wealth and the importance of financial discretion. By keeping their winnings private, the caller and his wife have avoided potential strains in their personal relationships while ensuring their children remain motivated to forge their own paths.
For those who come into sudden wealth, whether through a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/10/41335504/billionaire-mark-cuban-warns-when-you-win-the-lottery-never-invest-stick-it-in-the-bank-and-live">lottery win</a>, inheritance, or another windfall, Ramsey's advice remains clear: strategic secrecy can be a tool for financial stability and family harmony.

Lottery Winner Keeps $22M Secret From Kids – Dave Ramsey Agrees, Saying 'It's Not Anyone Else's Business'

Billionaire Warren Buffett has advised against using credit cards as a piggy bank. He emphasized the importance of paying off high-interest debt.
What Happened: During the Berkshire Hathaway&#8217;s annual shareholder <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/brklivestream/">meeting </a>in 2021, Buffett shared his personal finance advice and suggested that people should avoid using credit cards as a &#8220;piggy bank to be raided.&#8221;
Buffett shared an anecdote about a friend who had recently come into some money. When she asked for advice on what to do with the funds, Buffett&#8217;s first question was about her credit card debt. 
He stressed the importance of paying off high-interest debt, stating, &#8220;If I owed any money at 18%, the first thing I'd do with any money I had would be to pay it off. I think people should avoid using credit cards as a piggy bank to be raided.&#8221;
&#8220;Because paying it off is gonna be way better than any investment idea that I've got. And that wasn't what she wanted to hear," he added.

Buffett pointed out that&nbsp;the average credit card interest&nbsp;rate, according to WalletHub,&nbsp;is around 15% for existing&nbsp;accounts. He asserted that paying off this debt would be more beneficial than any investment idea he could offer.
Why It Matters: Statistics from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau reveal that by the end of 2018, total credit card balances were around $900 billion. 
With an average debt of about $6,200 per consumer, Buffett&#8217;s advice is more pertinent than ever. The high-interest rates associated with credit card debt can significantly impact an individual&#8217;s financial health. 
Buffett&#8217;s advice underscores the importance of prudent financial management and the need to prioritize debt repayment over other financial decisions.

Buffett Advises Against Using Credit Cards as a Source of Funds: 'Paying It off Is Gonna Be Way Better Than Any Investment Idea'

Jessica Simpson and her estranged husband, Eric Johnson, relisted their multimillion-dollar Hidden Hills, California, mansion just two days before announcing their separation.
The meticulously designed seven-bedroom, 13-bathroom estate spans 13,274 square feet and was listed on Jan. 11 for $17.9 million – a price reduction of 18.6% from its original listing, according to Page Six, citing online real estate records.
Offering city lights and mountain views, the property first hit the market on Sept. 19, 2023, when Simpson relocated to Nashville. It was withdrawn from the market by Aug. 2, 2024.

</ul>
Simpson previously revealed her decision to temporarily move to Nashville that summer was driven by a desire to connect with "like-minded people."
"It's not about the celebrities – it's really about the music and the heart and the conversation," the Jessica Simpson Collection CEO told E! News at the time. She said she was "happy" with the move.
But Simpson and her three children – Maxwell, 12, Ace, 11 and Birdie, 5 – returned to the West Coast in time for the new school year.
Simpson recently told People magazine that she and Johnson had been "living separately" for some time as they worked through their "painful" separation.
"Our children come first and we are focusing on what is best for them," she said. "We are grateful for all the love and support that has been coming our way and appreciate privacy right now as we work through this as a family."
Trending: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/go/arrived-private-credit-yf">Arrived Home's Private Credit Fund&#8217;s has historically paid an annualized dividend yield of 8.1%&#x2A;</a>, which provides access to a pool of short-term loans backed by residential real estate with just a $100 minimum.<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/go/arrived-private-credit-yf">&nbsp;</a>
A source recently told Page Six that Simpson and Johnson had been struggling with "trust issues" that drove a wedge between them.
Reportedly, Simpson had a friend contact Los Angeles-based divorce attorneys in late October, citing unhappiness in her marriage.
It remains unclear whether the couple relisted their marital home to resolve financial matters ahead of finalizing their divorce.
The real estate listing highlights the state's grandeur, noting that the formal dining room "sets the stage for unforgettable dinner parties."
"The heart of this home lies in its state-of-the-art chef's kitchen, where culinary dreams come to life."

Listing photos reveal unique touches, such as a bathroom with leopard-print wallpaper and framed portraits of music legends like Willie Nelson, Janis Joplin and<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/content/42957095/dolly-parton-expands-her-food-empire"> Dolly Parton.</a>
The estate also features a vibrant music studio and a home gym, which Simpson likely used during her journey to lose <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/23/07/33142556/jessica-simpson-hits-back-on-ozempic-weight-loss-rumors-i-am-connected-to-myself-it-doesnt-">100 pounds</a>.
"This home offers an unparalleled opportunity to experience the epitome of upscale living in one of the most exclusive communities," the listing states.
Simpson, 44 and Johnson, 45, purchased the home in March 2013, a year before their wedding.

CNS Pharma（NYSE：<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CNSP#NYSE">CNSP</a>）の流動株に対する空売り比率は、最後の報告から9289.47%上昇しています。同社は最近199,000株の空売りがあったと報告し、この数字は取引可能なすべての普通株式の53.52%に相当します。取引のボリュームを基にすると、この状態ならば、空売りポジションを持つトレーダーがポジションをカバーするには平均1.0日必要とすることになります。
<h3>空売りの重要性</h3>
空売りの利益は、空売りが行われたが未だカバーもクローズアウトもされていない株式の数です。 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">空売り</a>とは、トレーダーが株価が下がることを期待して所有していない会社の株式を売却することです。株価が下がればトレーダーは利益を得ますが、上がれば損をします。
空売りの利益を追跡するのは重要な理由は、これが特定の株に対する市場のセンチメントの指標として機能するからです。空売りの利益の増加は、投資家がより悲観的になったことを示し、空売りの利益の減少は、投資家がより楽観的になったことを示すことができます。
関連記事: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/short-interest">空売りが多い銘柄のリスト</a>
<h3>CNS Pharmaの空売りの利益グラフ（3ヶ月）</h3>
<img decoding="async" src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1718743509_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
グラフからも分かるように、CNS Pharmaの空売りは前回の報告以降で増加しています。これは株価が近々下落するというわけではありませんが、トレーダーはもっと多くの株式が空売りされていることを知っておくべきです。
<h3>CNS Pharmaの空売りの利益を同業他社と比較する</h3>
業界アナリストと投資家にも人気のある比較方法の一つが、企業の業績を測定するための比較です。企業の「peer」は、業界、規模、年齢、および財務構造など、企業と似たような特性を持つもう一つの企業です。企業の「peer group」は、同社の10-K（米国証券取引委員会に提出された企業の年次報告書）や「proxy」（企業の株主総会の議決権の行使方法についての規則を定めた書面）の提出書を読むか、または独自の類似性分析を行うことで見つけることができます。
<a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>によると、CNS Pharmaの空売りの利益の浮動比率に対する同業他社の平均値は8.77％です。これはCNS Pharmaの空売りの利益が、ほとんどの競合他社よりも多いということを意味します。
