The Fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund (ETF) that seeks long-term capital appreciation. As a fund of funds, it invests its assets in shares of other ETFs and, to a limited extent, other exchange traded products (ETPs). The Fund primarily invests in affiliated ETFs managed by Tidal Investments LLC (the Adviser), but it may also invest in unaffiliated ETFs and ETPs (collectively, Underlying ETFs). The Fund will not invest in ETFs that are also structured as fund-of-funds or in ETFs that invest more than 10 percent of their assets in other investment companies and private funds. The Fund will typically hold between 10 and 25 Underlying ETFs. The Fund may invest in both actively managed and passively managed Underlying ETFs. The Fund will distribute income, if any, on an annual basis. The Funds portfolio will be rebalanced to the 25 percent target allocations whenever the Fund adds a new Underlying ETF, removes an existing Underlying ETF, or substitutes Underlying ETFs within its portfolio. Additionally, the Funds portfolio managers will adjust the Funds allocations to restore the 25 percent target allocations if any basket exceeds 30 percent of the Funds total value.

At most companies, predicting failure would get you fired. At Amazon (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), it <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45360557/jeff-bezos-built-a-1-97-trillion-empire-by-putting-truth-before-comfort-heres-why-he-thinks-thats-wh">came straight from the founder</a>.
In 2018, Jeff Bezos stood before employees during an all-hands meeting and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45241136/jeff-bezos-says-he-won-the-lottery-with-his-teen-mom-she-had-him-at-17-took-him-to-night-school-then-invested-her-245k-savings-in-amazon">delivered the kind of statement</a> you don't expect from a CEO whose company was making billions: "Amazon is not too big to fail. In fact, I predict one day Amazon will fail. Amazon will go bankrupt."
The comment, first <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2018/11/15/bezos-tells-employees-one-day-amazon-will-fail-and-to-stay-hungry.html">reported by CNBC</a> from a recorded video of the meeting, wasn't offhand. It was Bezos responding directly to a question about what Amazon had learned from the collapse of legacy retailers like Sears. His answer was blunt: big companies don't live forever—and the clock's always ticking.

</ul>
He told employees the real danger isn't outside competition. It's losing focus. "If we start to focus on ourselves, instead of focusing on our customers, that will be the beginning of the end," he said. "We have to try and delay that day for as long as possible."
At the time, Amazon was doing anything but failing. It was growing faster than ever. Alexa was in millions of homes. Amazon Web Services was dominating cloud. Retail was scaling globally. Bezos, still CEO then, had no financial reason to sound the alarm—just a long memory and a clear view of what happens when companies start believing they're bulletproof.
He stepped down as CEO in July 2021, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44943074/amazon-ceo-jassy-reveals-whats-kept-him-at-the-tech-giant-for-nearly-3-decade-heres-how-amzn-stock-has-done-since-he-replaced-bezos">handing the reins to Andy Jassy</a>, but the message hasn't aged. In fact, it's only become more relevant. Amazon <a href="https://ir.aboutamazon.com/news-release/news-release-details/2025/Amazon-com-Announces-Fourth-Quarter-Results/">pulled in $638 billion in net sales</a> in 2024 and generated nearly $60 billion in profit. From the outside, it looks unstoppable. Internally, Bezos knew better.

And he wasn't wrong to bring it up.
A <a href="https://www.mckinsey.com/~/media/mckinsey/business%20functions/strategy%20and%20corporate%20finance/our%20insights/mckinsey%20on%20finance%20number%2084/mckinsey-on-finance-number-84.pdf">2023 McKinsey study</a> found that the average lifespan of a company on the S&amp;P 500 was 61 years in 1958. Today, it's under 18. The firm predicted that by 2027, 75% of the companies on the list will be gone—acquired, merged, or bankrupt. Size doesn't guarantee survival. In fact, it can make you slower, more bloated, more fragile.
Bezos didn't suggest Amazon was collapsing. He reminded everyone it could. The only way to push back the clock, in his view, was to keep the company focused on customers and paranoid about irrelevance.
It's a rare kind of leadership that warns of failure at the peak of success. But maybe that's the only reason Amazon's still beating the odds.

Jeff Bezos Once Told Employees, 'I Predict One Day Amazon Will Fail. Amazon Will Go Bankrupt' — But His Goal Was To 'Try And Delay' The Inevitable

Anthony Scaramucci&#8217;s Bitcoin Forecast
Anthony Scaramucci, founder and CEO of SkyBridge Capital, stated that Bitcoin would be considered a full-fledged asset class, akin to gold, once it hits $500,000. He made this statement at CoinDesk&#8217;s Consensus 2025 conference.

Ark Invest's Warning To Bitcoin Treasury Companies, Peter Schiff's BTC Prediction And More: Top Crypto Updates This Week

Ever feel like you're stuck with yourself—no matter how many vision boards you make or how many "new you" phases you cycle through? According to the late Charlie Munger, that might not be a lack of progress. That might just be biology doing its thing.
Munger, who served as vice chairman of Berkshire Hathaway and was Warren Buffett's right-hand man for over four decades, wasn't one for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/04/45110288/99-year-old-billionaire-charlie-munger-said-iron-rule-of-life-is-everybody-struggles-but-you-have-to-soldier-through-its-your-only-option">sugarplum theories or motivational fluff</a>. He believed people were mostly hardwired from day one—and he had the personal experience to back it up. As the father of eight kids, he'd seen enough personalities unfold in real time to feel confident in his conclusion.

</ul>
In a <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2019/02/22/what-berkshire-hathaways-charlie-munger-learned-about-life-at-age-7.html">2019 CNBC interview</a> with "Squawk Box" host Becky Quick, Munger explained, "I think they come into the world, to a certain extent, pre-made. And you just sit there and watch." He didn't stop there. "The shy baby is the shy adult. The booming, obnoxious, domineering baby is the booming, domineering, obnoxious adult. I've never found a way to fix that."
Munger wasn't offering parenting advice—he was making a much broader point about human nature. Whether you're raising a kid or just trying to navigate your own personal evolution, he seemed to believe the core of who you are doesn't really budge. In his words: "I can be cheerful about it, but I can't fix it. I can change my reaction, but I can't change the outcome."
This mindset was part of a larger life philosophy Munger shared during the interview. When asked by Quick about the secret to a long and happy life, he rattled off <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/43077104/charlie-mungers-3-rules-for-success-dont-sell-what-you-wouldnt-buy-work-for-those-you-admire-partner-with-people-you-enjoy">what he called "simple rules"</a>: don't envy, don't resent, live within your means, stay cheerful, and deal with reliable people. "And all these simple rules work so well to make your life better," he said, "and they're so trite."
Trending: Maker of the $60,000 foldable home has 3 factory buildings, 600+ houses built, and big plans to solve housing — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/boxabl-scaling-fast-from-spacex-orders-to-600-homes-built-this-60k-foldable-home-may-be-the-future-of-housing">this is your last chance to become an investor for $0.80 per share.</a>
And if you're wondering <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44065682/charlie-munger-shared-advice-for-the-young-but-it-applies-to-all-if-youve-got-anything-you-really-want-to-do-dont-wait-until-youre-93">how old he was when he figured that out</a>? "About seven," he replied. Even at that age, he said, he could spot irrationality in the adults around him. "Some older people were a little bonkers," he said. That early observation helped shape a worldview that stayed with him well into his 90s.
So if you've been blaming your quirks on your environment, your parents, or your high school gym teacher—Munger might tell you to look further back. Like, birth. His advice? Don't try to rewrite your wiring. Just figure out how to live with it—and maybe even laugh about it.

Billionaire Charlie Munger Had 8 Kids And Said Who You Are At Birth Is Who You'll Always Be — 'I've Never Found A Way To Fix That'

Warren Buffett has never made any apologies for his diet—and he certainly isn't starting now.&nbsp;
The 94-year-old investing icon is just as famous for his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42115069/warren-buffett-is-set-to-collect-776-million-in-coca-cola-dividends-but-daughter-says-his-wife-buys-him-the-soda-on-sale">love of Cherry Coke</a> and fast food as he is for picking winning stocks.

If it's loaded with sugar, salt, or nostalgia, there's a good chance it's on Buffett's plate.
In a memorable moment from the 2019 Netflix documentary "<a href="https://www.netflix.com/title/80184771">Inside Bill's Brain: Decoding Bill Gates</a>," Buffett gives viewers a glimpse into the culinary side of the Oracle of Omaha—one that's unapologetically rooted in comfort food and childhood favorites.

</ul>
The scene begins with Buffett and Bill Gates playing bridge, a game Buffett has long described as the perfect mental workout and a personal obsession. From there, the pair move on to lunch, where their decades-long friendship plays out not over market talk, but burgers, Cokes, and milkshakes. Two of the world's richest men, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42477114/bill-gates-recalls-the-time-warren-buffett-slept-over-and-ate-oreos-for-breakfast-poor-example-for-young-people-but-it-works-for-him">bonding over greasy food</a> like old college roommates.
In front of Buffett: a hamburger, a Coke, and what looks to be a strawberry milkshake crowned with whipped cream. Buffett immediately pops the top bun off his burger and starts shaking salt over the patty. Then he shakes some more. And some more. It's less seasoning, more snowfall.
Without missing a beat, he shrugs and offers the kind of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43646798/billionaire-warren-buffett-bet-his-kids-10000-he-wouldnt-gain-weight-and-they-tried-to-cash-in-by-sabotaging-him-with-donuts">Buffett logic that only he could get away with</a>: "I really found what I like to eat by the time I was six. Saved a lot of experimenting since then by just continuing to put a lot of salt on hamburgers and go to it."
Gates, watching the ritual unfold, asks if his doctors ever push back on his dietary choices.
Trending: Hasbro, MGM, and Skechers trust this AI marketing firm — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/rad-intel">Invest before it's too late.</a>
Buffett, grinning and wiping his mouth, replies, "They learned to give up."
But his daughter hasn't. Buffett reveals that she takes a more proactive approach—documenting his meals and keeping his medical team in the loop whether he likes it or not. "My daughter keeps taking pictures. She had a picture of me the other day with a ton of mayonnaise on something, e-mails it to all of my doctors and they all immediately respond."
And it's not just mayo. "She's taking pictures of potatoes with gravy," Buffett adds, raising his hand to mimic a towering pile. "I like to size things."
The conversation eventually shifts to global health, as Buffett asks Gates about progress on polio eradication. But the image that lingers is Buffett, just a couple years shy of 90 at the time, joyfully ignoring medical advice and doubling down on the foods he's loved for decades.
For Buffett, the secret to long life might just be simple: bridge with friends, burgers with extra salt, and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/01/43341020/warren-buffett-would-give-up-a-year-of-his-life-to-eat-whatever-he-wants-his-daughter-confirms-he-still-gets-daily-mcdonalds-breakfast-at-94">absolutely no experiments with kale</a>.

Warren Buffett Says His Daughter Sends Photos of His Mayo And Gravy-Laden Meals to His Doctors — 'They Learned to Give Up'

You might live in a 5,000-square-foot home in a gated neighborhood. You drive a luxury SUV, vacation somewhere new every summer — maybe Italy, maybe Bora Bora — and swipe your card at Whole Foods without ever checking the total. On paper, your life looks rich. But are you?
That's where things get blurry. Because in today's economy, being rich isn't just about looking the part—it's about <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/05/45234639/are-you-upper-class-heres-the-net-worth-you-need-in-your-50s">how your income and net worth stack up</a> against everyone else. And depending on where you live and how you've built your wealth, you might still fall squarely in the upper middle class.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What Do the Numbers Say?</h2>
Geography plays a huge role in lifestyle inflation and how "wealthy" you feel. In San Francisco, a $300,000 income might buy you a two-bedroom condo and a decent latte habit. In the Midwest, it might make you feel like a millionaire.&nbsp;
<a href="https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2024/09/16/are-you-in-the-american-middle-class/">According to Pew Research</a>, middle-income households earn between $56,600 and $169,800 a year, depending on household size and local cost of living.&nbsp;
Many sources, <a href="https://www.gobankingrates.com/money/economy/how-much-you-need-to-earn-to-be-upper-middle-class-in-every-state/">including GoBankingRates</a>, place upper middle class income somewhere between $106,000 and $150,000, though that too varies by region.&nbsp;
According to a <a href="https://smartasset.com/data-studies/top-1-percent-income-2024">2024 SmartAsset study</a>, the income needed to join the top 1% of earners in the U.S. is at least $787,712. In states like Connecticut, Massachusetts, and California, however, the threshold climbs past $1 million a year. In Massachusetts alone, top 1% earners bring in at least $1.13 million.

When it comes to net worth, the Federal Reserve's latest Survey of Consumer Finances reports that the median net worth for U.S. households is around $192,900, while middle-income households <a href="https://usafacts.org/answers/how-much-wealth-does-the-american-middle-class-have/country/united-states/">typically hover around $480,000</a>.
For upper middle class, the estimate ranges between $500,000 and $2 million, depending on age and assets—data cited by analysts like <a href="https://www.financialsamurai.com/the-average-net-worth-by-age-for-the-upper-middle-class/">Financial Samurai</a>, who aggregate from Federal Reserve studies and IRS data.
So, what's considered rich? According to the <a href="https://www.federalreserve.gov/publications/files/scf23.pdf">Federal Reserve's triennial data</a>, the top 10% of households have a net worth starting at $1.9 million.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">So, Are You Rich?</h2>
Being rich isn't just about hitting a certain number—it's about how you manage it, grow it, and what that money actually lets you do.
Two families could earn the same amount. One is living paycheck to paycheck with luxury tastes and high debt. The other has investments, savings, and options. Wealth isn't just how much you make or own—it's about freedom, control, and long-term security.
If your net worth is under $2 million and your income is under $600,000, statistically, you're probably not rich—you're upper middle class. And in today's world, that still means you're doing very well.
But if <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">you're still asking the question</a>, chances are you're somewhere in that gray zone—the one where life looks rich but the numbers keep you just shy of the line.

Are You Rich or Just Upper Middle Class? Here's The Net Worth And Income It Takes To Be Considered Wealthy

Renowned investor Peter Lynch recently opened up about his early experiences with the stock market, his initial investment, and the philosophy that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45338212/peter-lynchs-market-advice-if-you-have-lot-of-stocks-some-will-do-mediocre-some-will-do-okay-if-one-or-two-go-up-big-time-you-produce-a-fabulous-result">has guided his successful career.</a>
Lynch, who rose to prominence during his time at Fidelity&#8217;s Magellan Fund, traced his interest in stocks back to his childhood in the 1950s. His curiosity about the stock market was sparked while he was working as a caddie at a golf club in West Newton, where he often heard corporate executives discussing stocks.
Lynch highlighted the significance of identifying a few good stocks in one&#8217;s lifetime, stating, &#8220;You don&#8217;t need a lot in your lifetime. You only need a few good stocks in your lifetime. I mean how many times do you need a stock to go up ten-fold to make a lot of money? Not a lot,&#8221; he said during a conversation. 
Looking back at the start&nbsp;of the bull market in&nbsp;1982, Lynch characterized it as a &#8220;very scary period&#8221; for the U.S., marked by high inflation and a plummeting economy. Despite the daunting environment, Lynch maintained a positive outlook, having faith in the potential of stocks and companies to bounce back.

He ended by expressing his readiness to seize opportunities, even when more than half the companies in his portfolio were incurring losses. His faith in economic recovery and the potential of these companies proved to be well-founded as the market eventually rebounded.
Lynch&#8217;s insights provide a valuable perspective for investors navigating today&#8217;s volatile market. 
His emphasis on the importance of identifying a few good stocks, coupled with his optimism and readiness to seize opportunities even in challenging times, serves as a reminder of the potential rewards of patient and strategic investing. 
His successful investment journey underscores the importance of maintaining a long-term perspective and the ability to remain calm under pressure.

Peter Lynch's Market Advice: 'You Don't Need A Lot In Your Lifetime, You Only Need A Few Good Socks In Your Lifetime'

Billy Evans, the partner of imprisoned Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes, is raising millions of dollars for a new health-tech startup that's already drawing comparisons to Holmes' failed venture.
His company, called Haemanthus, says it is creating AI-powered diagnostic tools that use light to analyze blood, saliva, and urine samples. Despite the similarities to Theranos, Evans is adamant that the comparison stops there.

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">&#8220;This Is Not Theranos 2.0&#8221;</h2>
"We're Haemanthus. Yes, our CEO, Billy Evans, is Elizabeth Holmes' partner. Skepticism is rational. We must clear a higher bar," the company said in a <a href="https://x.com/haemanthusinc/status/1921644016904364381">statement on X</a>, directly addressing public concerns. "This is not Theranos 2.0. Theranos attempted to miniaturize existing tests. Our approach is fundamentally different."

The company says it uses photonics and AI to detect disease earlier and more accurately.&nbsp;
In follow-up posts, Haemanthus continued: &#8220;The science, when ready, will stand on its own merits. But we feel compelled to introduce ourselves because of recent media coverage.&#8221;
&#8220;Setting the record straight. Elizabeth Holmes has zero involvement in Haemanthus. We&#8217;ve learned from her company&#8217;s mistakes, but she has no role, now or future.&#8221;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Science and Strategy</h2>
Haemanthus, named after the blood lily flower, was incorporated in February 2024 and is still in early development. It reportedly raised around $3.5 million from friends and family and is seeking up to $50 million more. According to the <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/10/business/elizabeth-holmes-partner-blood-testing-startup.html">New York Times</a>, some high-profile investors have already passed on the opportunity, while others have committed close to investing.
The company builds on Raman spectroscopy, which it calls &#8220;a proven technique with decades of research.&#8221; Haemanthus says it's using the method to scan biological samples on a molecular level using lasers, paired with deep learning models to detect cancer, Parkinson's, and other diseases.
"We&#8217;re making lab technology accessible through modern lasers and AI," the company said. "Think mainframe-to-PC transformation. Faster. Smaller. Accessible."
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Theranos Echoes Linger</h2>
Evans, an heir to a hotel fortune, lives in Austin, Texas, with Holmes and their two children. He has not publicly acknowledged Holmes' involvement, but media reports speculate she may be advising him from prison, where she is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/06/32697657/elizabeth-holmes-what-was-it-like-working-with-the-disgraced-theranos-founder">serving an 11-year sentence</a> for defrauding investors.
Haemanthus' materials do not mention Holmes, and the company insists she has &#8220;zero involvement.&#8221; Holmes, meanwhile, told <a href="https://people.com/elizabeth-holmes-breaks-her-silence-in-first-interview-from-prison-it-s-been-hell-and-torture-exclusive-8789737">People</a> magazine earlier this year that she plans to return to biotech after her release in 2032.

The startup's prototype resembles Theranos' miniLab, according to The Times, which accessed the marketing materials. It has a digital display and internal lasers. It plans to begin by testing pets before expanding to humans. The company told investors its long-term goal is to develop a stamp-sized wearable version of the device for people.
Haemanthus claims it is not subject to regulatory oversight for its veterinary diagnostics, citing a redacted U.S. Department of Agriculture document. However, a USDA spokesperson told The Times the agency does regulate veterinary diagnostics and could not confirm the company's claim.
Much of the Haemanthus team comes from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44519166/luminar-and-caterpillar-join-forces-to-revolutionize-autonomous-hauling-with-lidar-tech">Luminar, a self-driving tech company</a> where Evans previously worked. &#8220;Our co-founders have decades of experience in photonics, medicine, and AI. Our technical team scaled Luminar&#8217;s laser systems to production,&#8221; the company wrote.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">&#8220;We've Learned From Her Company's Mistakes&#8221;</h2>
Haemanthus remains in stealth mode, and Evans has been vague about specifics. "When you're in stealth, you're trying to be in stealth. They aren't going to find anything associated with the name Haemanthus," he told the Times.
Still, the company is leaning into the scrutiny. "We've learned from her company's mistakes, but she has no role, now or future," Haemanthus said.
As for why the company is starting with animals, Haemanthus said, "Not because it's easier, but because it's practical and meaningful. It validates our technology, helps animals who can't describe symptoms, and builds the foundation for human applications."

'Our Approach Is Fundamentally Different'—Says Partner Of Elizabeth Holmes As He Launches A Blood-Testing Startup, Reportedly Gets Funding

Elon Musk, the CEO of&nbsp;Tesla Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), gave a one-word response to NBA legend&nbsp;Shaquille O&#8217;Neal&#8217;s&nbsp;customized Tesla Cybertruck.
Last year Shaquille O&#8217;Neal, also known as Shaq, revealed his custom-made carbon fiber Cybertruck. The former NBA star engaged Effortless Motors to modify&nbsp;his Cybertruck into a widebody&nbsp;variant with a carbon fiber&nbsp;exterior.
The modified Cybertruck, boasting a carbon-kit body, black wheels, and red LED bars, has become the latest addition to Shaq&#8217;s impressive car collection. 
The NBA legend, who owns two Cybertrucks, one each in Las Vegas and Atlanta, along with other luxury vehicles, has caught the attention of Musk with his new Cybertruck.

Musk responded to a post showcasing Shaq&#8217;s Cybertruck with a simple &#8220;Nice&#8221;, acknowledging the widebody modification and red under glow that make it one of the most eye-catching vehicles on the road.

The endorsement from Musk, a renowned figure in the automotive industry, not only highlights the customization potential of Tesla&#8217;s vehicles but also underscores the growing popularity of the Cybertruck among high-profile individuals. 
This could potentially boost the appeal of Tesla&#8217;s products to a wider audience, further solidifying its position in the electric vehicle market.
