&#8220;When do you keep a stock? When do you sell it, and when do you add to it?&#8221; That's the question <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/02/43737751/suze-orman-weighs-in-on-trumps-tariffs-says-the-real-problem-is-28000-florida-home-insurance-what-are-you-going-to-do-about-that">Suze Orman</a> recently posed on her "Women &amp; Money" podcast — and it's one that many investors struggle with, especially during market volatility. Investing in the stock market can be intimidating, and when prices start to drop, it's easy to panic and make emotional decisions. But Orman advises that reacting out of fear is often a mistake.&nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why Fear Can Be Dangerous for Investors</h2>
&#8220;The main internal obstacle to wealth is fear,&#8221; Orman said. &#8220;Fear, everybody, just that simple.&#8221; She pointed out that fear is pervasive right now, driven by economic uncertainty, rising costs, and geopolitical tensions.

</ul>
This fear can lead to knee-jerk reactions in the stock market. Orman explained that when investors panic and sell off stock, it can drive prices down further. Orman used Palantir as an example. In the last month, it has dropped from about $125 a share to below $80 a share.&nbsp;&nbsp;
&#8220;You feel good for a while, cause maybe you sold <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44212796/palantir-joins-sp-100-after-ai-driven-rally-stock-surges-almost-60-since-trump-victory">Palantir</a> at 95, and now here it&#8217;s at 85 and you feel like such a winner. Are you kidding me?&#8221; she said, adding that short-term gains from selling out of fear can result in missed long-term growth opportunities.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">When to Keep a Stock</h2>
Orman advises that if a stock has strong fundamentals — good management, a solid product, and future growth potential — you should hold onto it even if the market dips. She reminded listeners about the market downturn in 2022 when major tech stocks like Apple, Microsoft, and Nvidia performed poorly. &#8220;They were referred to as the Stinky 7 because of how badly they had gone down,&#8221; Orman said.
But those who stayed invested saw significant returns. Nvidia, for example, rebounded with a 240% gain in 2023. Orman reminded listeners that those who bought stock at much lower prices were still sitting on significant gains. And even if they didn't, if the stock is fundamentally strong, it&#8217;s better to stay invested rather than react impulsively to market swings.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">When to Sell a Stock</h2>
While holding onto <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-stocks-for-long-term-investment">strong stocks</a> can lead to long-term gains, there are times when selling makes sense. Orman advised selling if a stock's value becomes too large a portion of your overall portfolio. This helps to reduce the risk of losing too much if the stock suddenly drops.
She explained that selling can also be a smart move if you need the funds for other investments or financial goals. However, Orman warned against selling just because the stock has gone up or down temporarily. Taking profits too soon can lead to missed opportunities if the stock rebounds.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">When to Add to a Stock</h2>
Orman supports adding to a stock position when you have the funds to do so strategically — through <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/02/43759719/suze-school-lump-sum-investing-dollar-cost-averaging-and-value-cost-average-which-is-her-favorite">dollar-cost averaging</a>. This means investing smaller amounts consistently over time, which reduces the risk of buying at a peak. &#8220;You have another $300 that you can put into Palantir totally. So all right, put $50 at a time in it so that you have at least six more times that you can buy the stock if it continues to go down,&#8221; she advised.

Orman shared her own strategy with Palantir. She mentioned how she bought more shares when the price dropped from $113 to $98 and again when it hit $85. She said this approach lowers the average cost per share over time and allows for greater potential gains when the stock eventually rises. However, she also cautioned that this strategy works best for those who have the funds to continue buying as the price drops.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Bottom Line</h2>
Orman's advice boils down to staying calm and focused on long-term growth rather than reacting to market fear. Keeping, selling, or adding to a stock should be based on the strength of the company and your overall financial strategy — not panic over market swings.

Billionaire Elon Musk has become a central figure in President Donald Trump's White House administration playing a role in the Department of Government Efficiency, a move that could impact the Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/03/44235956/tesla-bloodbath-to-continue-hedge-funder-says-musk-circus-could-lead-to-stock-dropping-95">stock price.</a>
A new poll of voters finds minimal approval of the billionaire's role.
What Happened: Musk recently said it was hard <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44242181/elon-musk-admits-juggling-between-tesla-doge-is-difficult-says-running-businesses-with-great-difficulty-a">juggling his responsibilities </a>between his companies, including Tesla and SpaceX, along with his government work.
A new CNN/SSRS <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2025/03/12/politics/cnn-poll-trump-economy/index.html">poll </a>found that Musk's work within the government may not be going over as well as the billionaire believes.
Musk scores an approval rating of 35% with a disapproval rating of 53% in the new poll shared Wednesday. Eleven percent of voters have no opinion on the billionaire in the poll.
For comparison, Trump scored an overall approval rating of 45% with a disapproval rating of 54%, similar to Musk. Trump's approval rating was down from 48% in a February CNN poll.
Vice President J.D. Vance has a favorable rating of 33% in the poll with an unfavorable rating of 44%. A higher number of voters had no opinion on Vance with 23% choosing this option.
In the new poll, 62% of voters said Musk does not have the "right experience" to make changes to the government while 61% said Musk does not have the "right judgment' to make changes.
Even some of Trump's supporters question the moves Musk is making with 28% of voters who see Trump's changes to the government necessary doubt Musk's judgment to make changes.
Sixty-two percent of voters in the poll say cuts being made by Trump and Musk are going too far.
Likely not a surprise, the poll results are split by political party with 90% of Republicans concerned about losing important federal programs. Seventy-three percent of Republicans say they are more concerned with fraud and waste than losing federal programs. Sixty-nine percent of Independents say they are more concerned about losing important federal programs.
The poll was conducted March 6 through March 9 and included the results from 1,206 adults. By political party, the poll was made up of 29% Democrats, 30% Republicans and 41% Independents.

Why It's Important: Polls on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/politics/25/02/43880789/elon-musk-approval-rating-hits-41-voters-not-impressed-with-doge-work-and-calls-to-eliminate-departments">approval ratings for Musk</a> have become more frequent with his push into politics.
A February Emerson College poll of voters asked for approval ratings about how well Musk was doing at the Department of Government Efficiency. In that poll, Musk had a 41% approval rating, with 45% disapproving and 14% neutral.
In that poll, Musk had a lower approval rating than Trump at 48% and a higher disapproval rating at 42%.
That poll showed voters had minimal support for DOGE and the Trump administration's plans to eliminate the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and the Department of Education.
The big question from the approval polls on Musk will be how they translate to the companies he runs.
Tesla&nbsp;took a hit to its brand value in a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/01/43172806/tesla-lost-15-billion-in-brand-value-in-2024-report-says-did-elon-musks-political-push-hurt-ev-giant">Brand Finance survey </a>in 2024. The company lost $15 billion in brand value and dropped 18 places in the rankings to 36.
The electric vehicle company has been the subject of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/01/43251316/tesla-faces-boycott-call-in-poland-over-musks-wwii-comments" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">calls for boycotts&nbsp;</a>in European nations due to Musk&#8217;s political beliefs.

Musk&#8217;s approval rating as a CEO and as a politician are likely two different things, but for investors and Tesla shareholders, the hope is that they can stay separate and not translate to overall disapproval of Musk as a person and leader.
TSLA Price Action: Tesla stock closed Thursday down 2.99% to $240.68 versus a 52-week trading range of $138.80 to $488.54. Tesla stock is down 36.5% year-to-date in 2025

The four-time NBA champion turned business mogul believes in "respectable nepotism"—a system where <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44220332/shaq-warns-that-giving-kids-everything-from-the-start-can-backfire-they-aint-in-a-good-place">his children don't get a dime</a> unless they prove they deserve it.
No trust fund freebies. No blank checks. Just business proposals, due diligence, and a solid plan—because in Shaq's world, you don't just ask for money; you earn it.

"If you want money, you better have a business plan," Shaq told <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/shaq-kids-respectable-nepotism-nepo-baby-money-2023-8">Business Insider in 2023</a>. "You want me to be the bank? I'm gonna do exactly what the bank does."
According to the man who famously tells his kids, "We ain't rich, I'm rich," getting money from him isn't as simple as asking. If they want funding, they need to come with a pitch, revenue projections, and a solid plan—because "Dad" isn't handing over his hard-earned cash.&nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Shaq's Kids Are Learning the Hard Way</h2>
As of March, Shaq's six kids range from 18 to 28 years old, and while some have already put in the work, others are still figuring it out.
At 27, Myles wanted to be a DJ. Instead of just handing him money, Shaq made him present a business plan, just like he would with any investment. Once Myles proved he was serious, Shaq helped him get the necessary equipment—but from there, Myles built his own career. Now, he's headlining shows across the U.S., touring, and even held a residency at Wynn Las Vegas.

Shaq's eldest daughter, Taahirah, 28, skipped the entertainment industry and built a corporate career, while Shareef, 25, pursued basketball, playing for UCLA, LSU, and now the NBA G League.
Then there's Amirah, 23, and Me'arah,18—still in school and yet to pitch a big idea, but Shaq has a different plan for them. He explains he wants his daughter to attend law school.&nbsp;
He's always emphasized education, telling Logan Paul in a 2022 podcast that his motto for his kids is, "<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/11/41869301/shaqs-got-a-500-million-fortune-but-his-kids-arent-getting-a-dime-without-earning-it-you-need-3-degrees-to-touch-daddys-cheese">In order to touch daddy's cheese, you gotta have three degrees</a>."

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Lesson from Jeff Bezos</h2>
Shaq didn't always think this way. His investment mindset changed after listening to Jeff Bezos, who once said that he only invests in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44068159/nba-legend-shaq-says-his-net-worth-quadrupled-once-he-took-note-from-jeff-bezos-and-started-investing-in-things-that-change-peoples-lives">businesses that will change people's lives</a>. Shaq took that advice and ran with it—shifting from short-term deals to long-term, high-impact investments.
"I heard Jeff Bezos say one time [that] he makes his investments based on if it's going to change people's lives," Shaq told <a href="https://www.wsj.com/video/shaquille-oneal-discusses-investing-franchising-and-donuts/8063A172-ABFF-496B-8700-4D51A6234054">The Wall Street Journal</a> in 2019. That shift quadrupled his net worth, and now, he's applying the same thinking to his kids—if they want an investment, they need to show impact.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">No Free Rides in the O'Neal Household</h2>
Unlike many celebrity kids who inherit millions without lifting a finger, Shaq's children are learning real-world economics the hard way.
They're free to pursue DJing, corporate careers, basketball, or even law school—but they're not getting a check just for showing up.
And if they think they can just ask for money and skip the business plan?
They better get used to hearing "Next!"

Venture capitalist Tim Draper has invested in companies such as Hotmail, Skype, Tesla and SpaceX over the years. While he's never invested in Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), he couldn't help but praise founder Jeff Bezos for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/21/04/20675447/5-things-you-might-not-know-about-jeff-bezos">changing the world.</a>
Capitalism for Good: Draper is best known for his focus on Bitcoin these days. The venture capitalist said he wants to be useful and help drive Bitcoin forward, something that keeps him motivated to keep working.
During a recent appearance on "<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/razreport">The Raz Report</a>" podcast with Benzinga founder Jason Raznick, Draper said he hopes Bitcoin makes it so that billions of people who aren't part of the world economy can participate.
Draper explained that Amazon founder Jeff Bezos is super rich thanks to Amazon, but he also has made many people's lives better with the company he created.
"Amazon has made all of our lives so much better," Draper said.
Draper said he has benefitted from what Bezos has done and that's a part of the world economy that isn't spoken about enough.
"Those geniuses who create this incredible world for us are benefitting all of us."
Draper said this is part of capitalism where the inventors benefit but the consumers also win.
"We're better off because of it,&#8221; he said, adding, "I benefit hugely from what Jeff Bezos has done.&#8221;

Why It's Important: Draper used the reference to Bezos to compare to Bitcoin. The venture capitalist said this is the same with Bitcoin as he hopes that he can be a figure that helps the world economy with the leading cryptocurrency.
This is what drives Draper and keeps him working rather than sitting on a beach retired.
Draper said he funded Hotmail, which helped people send free emails around the world. He funded Skype which gave people the ability to use video to connect. His funding of Tesla helped consumers have electric vehicles and not have to settle for traditional gas vehicles.
While Draper made money on all these investments, he said it's important to see capitalism at work.
"The beneficiary is not just the one who made money. The beneficiary is the consumer."

OPAL Fuels Expects FY25 Adjusted EBITDA Of $90M - $110M

Global asset management firm Krane Funds Advisors introduced its Single-Stock Levered ETF Suite with the launch of the KraneShares 2X Long PDD Daily ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KPDD#NASDAQ">KPDD</a>) and the KraneShares 2X Long BABA Daily ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KBAB#NASDAQ">KBAB</a>) that began trading Thursday on Nasdaq.
KPDD and KBAB are structured to provide 200% of the daily percentage change of their respective underlying stocks, prior to fees and expenses. This gives investors with<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs"> leveraged exposure </a>to PDD Holdings (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PDD#NASDAQ">PDD</a>) and Alibaba (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>).
KPDD comes with an expense ratio of 1.26%, and KBAB has a management charge of 0.99%. Nonetheless, KraneShares has imposed a fee waiver for KBAB until Aug. 1, 2026.

PDD Holdings is a&nbsp;world-leading&nbsp;e-commerce&nbsp;player&nbsp;with&nbsp;presence&nbsp;in&nbsp;more&nbsp;than&nbsp;19 countries. Its&nbsp;overseas&nbsp;platform, Temu,&nbsp;outpaced&nbsp;Amazon&#8217;s&nbsp;monthly active&nbsp;buyers&nbsp;and&nbsp;reached&nbsp;$50 billion&nbsp;annual gross merchandise&nbsp;volume&nbsp;in 2024.
Meanwhile, Alibaba, the world&#8217;s third-largest e-commerce retailer, has increased its footprint in AI, cloud computing, logistics, fintech, and media. Its shares have recently picked up pace after it introduced its Qwen2.5 series large language model and a new AI collaboration with Apple (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) to include cutting-edge features on iPhones being sold in China.
Both PDD and Alibaba have&nbsp;been&nbsp;among the&nbsp;most&nbsp;prominent&nbsp;holdings&nbsp;within&nbsp;the KraneShares CSI China Internet ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KWEB#NYSE">KWEB</a>). 
Leveraged ETFs like KPDD and KBAB provide an efficient way for investors to amplify their exposure to leading Chinese internet stocks. "China Internet continues to be an important global growth theme," <a href="https://kraneshares.com/kraneshares-launches-single-stock-levered-etf-suite-with-2x-investment-exposure-to-temu-parent-pdd-holdings-kpdd-and-alibaba-kbab/">said </a>James Maund, KraneShares' Head of Capital Markets. "Our Single-Stock Levered ETF Suite provides a convenient way for bullish investors to gain levered exposure to top companies, including the largest China internet stocks."
These funds do,&nbsp;however,&nbsp;contain&nbsp;a&nbsp;lot&nbsp;of&nbsp;risk. They are&nbsp;meant&nbsp;for&nbsp;single-day trading,&nbsp;so&nbsp;their&nbsp;performance&nbsp;is&nbsp;best&nbsp;used&nbsp;for short-term&nbsp;purposes.&nbsp;Keeping&nbsp;them&nbsp;for&nbsp;more&nbsp;than&nbsp;a day can&nbsp;result&nbsp;in&nbsp;returns&nbsp;compounding in a way&nbsp;that&nbsp;could&nbsp;stray&nbsp;from twice the&nbsp;performance of the&nbsp;stock&nbsp;due to market&nbsp;conditions.
Mechanics of KPDD and KBAB
The KBAB&nbsp;seeks&nbsp;to&nbsp;replicate&nbsp;200% of&nbsp;Alibaba&#8217;s ADR,&nbsp;on&nbsp;a&nbsp;daily basis.&nbsp;This&nbsp;is&nbsp;accomplished&nbsp;through an investment&nbsp;in Alibaba&nbsp;stock and&nbsp;the&nbsp;use of&nbsp;swap agreements and options to&nbsp;multiply&nbsp;returns.
In the same way, the KPDD&nbsp;aims&nbsp;to&nbsp;double the daily returns of PDD Holdings&#8217;&nbsp;ADR.&nbsp;Similar&nbsp;to&nbsp;KBAB, it&nbsp;uses&nbsp;swaps and options for leveraged exposure and&nbsp;daily&nbsp;rebalancing.
