The analyst projects a $3 billion early-stage global air taxi revenue opportunity, with operations expected to begin in the UAE by 2025 and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42079908/nvidia-microstrategy-apollo-global-management-joby-aviation-and-tesla-why-these-5-stocks-are-on-investors-radars-today">U.S. regulatory approval anticipated for 2026</a>.
Joby&#8217;s strategy includes partnering with CAE to develop advanced flight simulation training devices for pilot certification. The company&#8217;s vertically integrated approach to manufacturing is expected to reduce aircraft costs and strengthen its competitive position in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42071065/analyst-says-faa-support-uber-partnership-push-joby-aviation-toward-air-taxi-leadership">emerging air taxi market</a>.

What Do Tim Cook, Sundar Pichai, Elon Musk, And Lisa Su Have In Common This Thanksgiving? Heartwarming Gratitude, Unexpected Humor, And A Turkey Or Two

Influential economist and market strategist&nbsp;Peter Schiff&nbsp;said shorting MicroStrategy Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) stock was a good idea, as he predicted potential bankruptcy for the company.
What Happened: During an interview with Kitco News that aired Thursday, Schiff called MicroStrategy a &#8220;great short&#8221; if one&#8217;s got the staying power, though he denied himself taking such a position.
&#8220;If&nbsp;you understand the dynamics of&nbsp;how this works, I mean&nbsp;you see that it can&nbsp;only end in the bankruptcy&nbsp;of MicroStrategy,&#8221; the Bitcoin critic made a bold prediction.
Making his argument, Schiff said that the company&#8217;s commitment to repay a large sum of money to c<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/11/42186167/michael-saylors-microstrategy-convertible-notes-to-buy-bitcoin-offer-no-interest-so-why-are-investors-rushing-to-buy-them">onvertible note holders</a> could be a potential risk&nbsp;if the price of Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), the asset it holds on its books,&nbsp;drops.

He stated that the bondholders are under the &#8220;false belief&#8221; that they have exposure to Bitcoin with no downside risk and would simply receive their money back in the worst-case situation of bankruptcy.
&#8220;Well, the problem is MicroStrategy is promising to&nbsp;pay so many&nbsp;people back so much money&nbsp;that it won&#8217;t&nbsp;be able to do it&nbsp;if the price of Bitcoin&nbsp;goes down because it doesn&#8217;t&nbsp;have the money because it&nbsp;wasted it on Bitcoin,&#8221; Schiff said. 
He predicted that the only way to repay the debt would be by selling Bitcoin.
&#8220;But as the biggest buyer and biggest owner, if it becomes the biggest seller, what happens to the price of Bitcoin? It crashes. So I think the only way this is going to end is in bankruptcy,&#8221; Schiff emphasized.
Why It Matters: Schiff&#8217;s remarks come in the wake of recent concerns raised about&nbsp;MicroStrategy and its Bitcoin investment strategy. 
Cryptocurrency analyst Willy Woo had previously flagged the potential liquidation risk of MicroStrategy due to its convertible debt offerings. He said that if the buyers of the convertible debt do not convert to shares before maturity, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42228264/crypto-analyst-flags-convertible-debt-induced-liquidation-risk-to-michael-saylors-microstrategy">MicroStrategy would be forced to sell Bitcoin</a> to repay the debt holders.
Additionally, investment adviser Gary Black questioned MicroStrategy&#8217;s valuation, suggesting that the company&#8217;s stock was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42156261/are-microstrategys-shares-worth-only-105-investment-adviser-gary-black-weighs-in">significantly overpriced</a>.&nbsp;
MicroStrategy's aggressive Bitcoin acquisition strategy has been the subject of intense media coverage in recent weeks. Last week, it outshone major companies on Wall Street <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42102652/michael-saylors-microstrategy-takes-wall-street-by-storm-becomes-second-most-traded-stock-after-nvidia">to emerge as the second-most traded stock</a> on a trading day.
Price Action: Since the beginning of November, MicroStrategy's stock has surged 69%. The company&#8217;s shares closed 9.94% higher at $388.84 on Wednesday.

Peter Schiff Calls MicroStrategy A 'Great Short' And Issues A Grim Warning: 'It Can Only End In Bankruptcy'

Australia has passed a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40784803/after-feud-with-elon-musk-and-mark-zuckerberg-australian-pm-anthony-albanese-set-to-ban-social-media">law banning social media</a> access for children under 16, enforcing strict penalties on Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), ByteDance-owned TikTok, and Snap Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNAP#NYSE">SNAP</a>).
What Happened: The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40784803/after-feud-with-elon-musk-and-mark-zuckerberg-australian-pm-anthony-albanese-set-to-ban-social-media">Social Media Minimum Age Bill</a>, approved on Thursday, prohibits minors under 16 from accessing platforms such as X, formerly Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and Snapchat.
Violations could result in fines of up to $32 million (AUD 49.5 million), reported Reuters.
YouTube, a subsidiary of Alphabet Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Google, has been exempted from this ban as it is widely used in schools.

In their statements to the report, spokespersons for Meta and Snap expressed concerns about the legislation.
They also promised to comply with the laws while engaging closely with the government during the 12-month implementation period.&nbsp;
Snapchat, Google, Met, and TikTok did not immediately respond to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga's</a> request for comments.
The law will undergo a trial implementation phase starting January 2025, with full enforcement expected in 2026.
Subscribe to the <a href="https://bztechtrends.beehiiv.com/subscribe">Benzinga Tech Trends newsletter</a> to get all the latest tech developments delivered to your inbox.
Why It Matters: The legislation has sparked a national debate. Some proponents cite the need to combat the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/05/38751844/australia-calls-for-inquiry-into-metas-facebook-elon-musks-x-tiktok-to-make-these-platforms-accounta">negative mental health impacts</a> of social media on young people.
Critics, however, argue it may infringe on young users&#8217; rights, privacy, and access to online support networks.
The ban also follows a series of events that began with Australia&#8217;s Prime Minister Anthony Albanese&#8217;s feud with tech leaders like Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg.
Earlier in June, Musk's X prevailed in a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39184541/elon-musk-says-freedom-of-speech-is-worth-fighting-for-after-australia-drops-legal-battle-against-x">legal dispute with the Australian government</a> over its attempt to have footage of a church stabbing in Sydney removed.
During the same month, Meta also warned that it could restrict news content in Australia if <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/06/39542628/mark-zuckerbergs-meta-warns-it-may-block-news-content-in-australia-if-asked-to-pay-licensing-fee">required to pay licensing fees</a>.

Analyst Notes: Arthur Azizov, CEO of cryptocurrency payment provider B2BINPAY, told Benzinga that the market was on the brink of a "significant shift," transitioning from Bitcoin season to alt season.
"It&#8217;s very close now, as the altseason index is already at 59, according to CoinMarketCap, which is more than half. When the index reaches 75, we can confidently say the alt season has begun. The index rises with the number of altcoins outperforming Bitcoin," Azizov remarked.
Widely-followed cryptocurrency analyst Dom's Crypto noted Bitcoin was flipping the $95,000 resistance level into support.
"This will lead to a $100,000 BTC faster than anyone thinks," the analyst forecast.

Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin Simmer Down On Thanksgiving: Analyst Sees 'Significant Shift' From BTC Season To Alt Season

Seven &amp; i Holdings Co. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SVNDY#OTC">SVNDY</a>), the Japanese conglomerate that owns the global convenience store chain 7-Eleven, has become the focus of significant international investment interest. 
What Happened: U.S.-based firms Bain Capital, KKR &amp; Co. Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KKR#NYSE">KKR</a>), and Fortress Investment Group have reportedly submitted bids for Seven &amp; i&#8217;s supermarket and restaurant business holding company, according to sources cited <a href="https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/Business-deals/Bain-KKR-bid-to-acquire-Seven-i-s-supermarket-business">by</a> Nikkei. 
York Holdings, Japanese trading giant Sumitomo Corp. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SSUMY#OTC">SSUMY</a>) has also joined the bidding, reflecting strong domestic competition.
York Holdings, established by Seven &amp; i in October as part of a broader corporate restructuring, is designed to streamline the company's operations. The initial round of bidding concluded Thursday, with shortlisted contenders expected to begin detailed asset evaluations in early 2025.
According to a recent NHK <a href="https://www3.nhk.or.jp/news/html/20241119/k10014643321000.html">report</a>, the founding Ito family of Seven &amp; i Holdings, the parent company of 7-Eleven, is actively pursuing plans to take the company private through a management buyout, aiming to prevent a potential takeover by a Canadian rival and consolidate control over the business within the family.

Why It Matters: The renewed investor interest follows Seven &amp; i&#8217;s rejection of a $38.5 billion acquisition offer from Alimentation Couche-Tard Inc. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ANCTF#OTC">ANCTF</a>), the Canadian parent company of Circle K. 
Couche-Tard aimed to create the world's largest convenience store operator through the merger but faced antitrust concerns in the U.S. Despite proposing divestitures to address regulatory issues, the bid was deemed not in the best <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/09/40765790/circle-k-owner-couche-tard-pursues-talks-with-7-11-operator-seven-i-after-38-5b-bid-rejected">interests of Seven &amp; i's shareholders</a>.
Analysts, including JapanConsuming co-founder Michael Causton, have highlighted that Seven &amp; i remains undervalued due to its complex structure and corporate culture. 
Couche-Tard's strategic timing, paired with its reputation for deal-making, signals its recognition of the company&#8217;s long-term potential. However, acquiring Seven &amp; i at a lower valuation remains challenging as investor awareness of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/09/40765790/circle-k-owner-couche-tard-pursues-talks-with-7-11-operator-seven-i-after-38-5b-bid-rejected">its intrinsic value grows</a>.
Price Action: Shares of Seven &amp; i rose 2.5% in Tokyo trading, on Friday following these developments, reflecting optimism about the company's strategic moves, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Japanese 7-Eleven Owner Triggers International Investor Frenzy, Attracts Bain Capital And KKR Bids

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has publicly countered President-elect Donald Trump&#8216;s statement regarding Mexico&#8217;s agreement to close its border with the United States. Trump had claimed that Mexico would <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42227649/trump-praises-wonderful-conversation-with-mexican-president-sheinbaum-she-has-agreed-to-stop-migration">immediately halt migration</a> to the U.S., a statement Sheinbaum has now addressed.
What Happened: Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has contested President-elect Donald Trump&#8216;s assertion that Mexico agreed to close its border with the U.S. &#8220;effectively immediately.&#8221; Sheinbaum clarified her stance in a post on X, stating that Mexico&#8217;s strategy focuses on addressing migration while respecting human rights.

Sheinbaum emphasized that Mexico&#8217;s approach is not about shutting borders but fostering cooperation between governments and peoples. 
Her comments were a response to Trump&#8217;s post on Truth Social, where he claimed that Mexico would halt migration to the U.S. immediately. Trump described the conversation with Sheinbaum as &#8220;wonderful,&#8221; mentioning agreements on migration and drug inflow issues.

Why It Matters: The talks come amid Trump&#8217;s announcement of a new executive order to impose tariffs on Chinese, Canadian, and Mexican goods. The tariffs aim to pressure these countries to enhance border security and combat fentanyl exports to the U.S. Sheinbaum has warned of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/11/42198583/will-trump-lead-us-into-trade-war-with-mexico-president-claudia-sheinbaum-rebukes-threats">potential counter-tariffs</a>, suggesting a tit-for-tat response that could jeopardize mutual businesses.
Earlier, Sheinbaum had addressed Trump in a letter, stating that &#8220;neither threats nor tariffs will solve the migration or the drug abuse phenomenon in the US,&#8221; advocating for collaborative solutions to the fentanyl crisis.
Furthermore, Sheinbaum has expressed concerns about a potential trade war, warning that tariffs could lead to a cycle of retaliatory measures, risking the operations of major exporters out of Mexico like General Motors Co., Stellantis NV, and Ford Motor Co.

Mexican President Sheinbaum Pushes Back Against Trump's Border Closure Claim, Clarifies Migration Stance

As of today, the U.S. debt has skyrocketed to $36 trillion and around one in every five dollars the government spends goes straight into repaying investors. In addition to causing the government a great deal of trouble, this scenario is also becoming a potential stumbling block for Donald Trump&#8217;s economic ambitions and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42131911/donald-trump-appointed-doge-to-have-marginal-impact-saving-50-100-billion-says-analyst-as-elon-musk-aims-to-target-500-billion-plus-in-federal-expenditures">will impact</a> the new government agency headed by Musk and Ramaswamy.

</ul>
The U.S. federal debt is growing relentlessly. According to White House debt <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/hist07z1_fy2024.xlsx">data</a>, it was $19.5 trillion in 2016, shortly before Trump was elected. It <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/10/41564246/from-10-trillion-to-35-trillion-how-government-spending-has-spiraled-out-of-control">skyrocketed</a> to $26.9 trillion by 2020 and now is nearly <a href="https://www.crfb.org/press-releases/gross-national-debt-reaches-36-trillion">$36 trillion</a>. "The point is that fiscal policy reflects joint action by Congress and the president," David Primo, a University of Rochester professor of political science and business administration, told AP. This directly impacts how the government functions, so it&#8217;s not just about numbers.
According to the <a href="https://www.fiscal.treasury.gov/files/reports-statements/mts/mts0824.pdf">Congressional Budget Office</a> (CBO), interest payments alone will total more than $1 trillion in the upcoming year. The government intends to spend less on national security than on these payments. What&#8217;s worse, rising debt service costs are crowding out essential programs like infrastructure, education and health care – areas that are supposed to contribute to future growth.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Big Promises, Bigger Obstacles</h2>
Trump has talked about big economic plans, including <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/24/11/41885777/how-trumps-tax-cuts-tariffs-animal-spirits-could-shape-sp-500-earnings">tax cuts and tariffs</a>. But the rising cost of paying off existing debt means there's less room for these moves. The costs of servicing this huge debt leave Trump with fewer options for ambitious economic measures. Increased debt restricts the federal budget&#8217;s flexibility, making it more difficult to enact tax cuts that Trump claims would help the middle class.
Critics argue that Trump&#8217;s proposed tax cuts, like those from 2017, largely benefit the wealthiest Americans and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/06/39462030/trump-added-nearly-two-times-more-to-the-national-debt-than-biden-while-in-office-new-report">add to the already ballooning debt</a>. Additionally, rising national debt tends to raise interest rates, making it more expensive for Americans to purchase houses, vehicles or make long-term investments.&nbsp;
Trending: Many are using this retirement income calculator to check if they&#8217;re on pace —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-do-i-calculate-my-retirement-income-adv"> here&#8217;s a breakdown on what&#8217;s behind this formula.</a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Forces Pulling Interest Rates</h2>
Jeffrey Schmid, the president of the Kansas City Fed, has recently stressed that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42075235/feds-schmid-rising-us-national-debt-could-push-interest-rates-higher">three significant factors</a> influence interest rates: growing debt, an aging population and productivity growth. Productivity gains, especially driven by new tech like AI, could mean higher rates. However, an aging population and the tendency of older generations to save more could push rates lower. &#8220;While now is the time to begin dialing back the restrictiveness of monetary policy, it remains to be seen how much further interest rates will decline or where they might eventually settle,&#8221; Schmid said.
With a $36 trillion bill, the government must keep attracting investors to buy its bonds, which will mean offering higher interest rates.
Without major adjustments, the national debt will continue destabilizing the economy, making it even harder for investors and the government to take risks. The effectiveness of this new agency&#8217;s cost-cutting initiatives will change in conjunction with interest rate fluctuations. The ongoing question is whether productivity and new technology can save the day or if the growing debt will push rates further, limiting economic growth and complicating the agency&#8217;s mission to streamline spending.

1 In 5 Dollars The Government Expends Goes To Repaying Investors. Here's Why This Spells Trouble For Trump And DOGE

France maintains one of the strictest cannabis policies in Europe, prohibiting recreational use, possession and cultivation. Paradoxically, it also has the highest <a href="http://benzinga.com/cannabis">cannabis</a> consumption rate on the continent. As the French government grapples with mounting public debt –currently at 112% of GDP– legalizing and taxing cannabis presents a potential fiscal lifeline.  
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">France Could Unlock Major Gains By Legalizing</h3>
The country&#8217;s stringent laws lead to significant law enforcement costs and strain on the judicial system. <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2024/nov/27/france-cannabis-consumption-europe-tax-decriminalisation-crime">According</a> to The Guardian, approximately 200,000 people pass through the criminal justice system annually on drug-related charges, with substantial resources allocated to anti-cannabis efforts.
However, economic analysts consulted by The Guardian suggest that legalizing cannabis could alleviate France&#8217;s financial challenges. A 2019 <a href="https://shs.cairn.info/revue-notes-du-conseil-d-analyse-economique-2019-4-page-1?lang=fr#s1n7">study</a> by an economic advisory board within the Prime Minister&#8217;s office estimated that legalization could generate €2.8 billion ($2.9 billion) in fiscal receipts and create up to 80,000 jobs.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">High Anti-Cannabis Costs Amid Economic Strain</h3>
Legalization proponents argue it could also reduce gang-related crime by removing a lucrative market from criminal networks. Moreover, regulated sales might undercut illegal dealers and decrease street violence associated with drug trafficking.

</ul>
These revenues, combined with savings on enforcement costs, could also provide much-needed relief as the government contemplates unpopular tax hikes and spending cuts. With national debt at €3.2 trillion and a budget deficit projected at 6% for 2024, cannabis could offer France a much-needed financial boost.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Future of French Medical Cannabis In Limbo</h3>
Meanwhile, despite the potential benefits of legalizing, France&#8217;s medical marijuana trial <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/10/41503963/frances-medical-marijuana-trial-faces-uncertainty-as-new-amendment-tries-to-keep-it-running">faces delays and political uncertainty</a>. Originally set to end in March 2024, the program now hinges on a proposed amendment to extend it through 2025. Political delays have prevented alignment with European regulations, leaving the future of medical cannabis in limbo.&nbsp;
Without immediate action, over 2,000 patients could lose access to treatments, highlighting the need for a permanent framework.&nbsp;&nbsp;

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Neighbors Diverge: Germany Lights Up</h3>
In contrast, Germany's cannabis market exemplifies a more progressive approach. Its Cannabis Control Act, enacted earlier this year, has spurred rapid growth. Sanity Group, a leading German cannabis company, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/10/41336543/is-germany-set-to-become-next-cannabis-giant-we-tripled-within-one-year-says-industry-insider">reported tripling its revenue within a year</a> due to regulatory changes. Germany's potential expansion into adult-use cannabis could further establish it as Europe's cannabis leader.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Legalization could not only address fiscal challenges but also position France as a competitor in the burgeoning European cannabis industry.

Europe's Top Cannabis Consumer Still Criminalizes Use, Forfeits Economic Gains

Planning to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/09/40964924/most-people-expect-to-retire-at-67-but-56-retire-sooner-can-you-guess-the-actual-average-retirem">retire at a specific age</a> often involves careful preparation, but reality doesn't always align with expectations. A new study by the Employee Benefit Research Institute (EBRI) found that 58% of retirees leave the workforce earlier than planned, frequently due to factors beyond their control.
EBRI's 2024 Spending In Retirement study, which surveyed 3,600 retirees aged 62 to 75, reveals some of the reasons for early retirement and the financial challenges that come from it.&nbsp;

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why Do People Retire Early?</h2>
For some, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/10/41185972/is-65-too-early-to-retire-new-research-says-it-might-be-45-of-households-are-expected-to-run-out">retiring early</a> is a strategic choice. They've built their nest egg and have methodically planned for early retirement. For others, it isn't always within their control.&nbsp;
Health issues and workplace reorganization are the leading factors behind why many Americans retire early. According to the EBRI survey:&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>38% of those who retired earlier than expected cited health problems or disabilities as the main reason. </li>
<li>23% stated that company-related issues like downsizing, closures or reorganizations were the cause. </li>
</ul>
Roughly two out of five of those who retired early did so because they felt financially prepared. However, this group represents a minority compared to those whose circumstances necessitated an earlier exit.&nbsp;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Financial Struggles Among Early Retirees</h2>
Leaving the workforce sooner than expected can have negative financial implications. Early retirees have less time to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/11/41918104/are-you-on-track-to-retire-rich-heres-the-nest-egg-you-need-to-be-considered-a-wealthy-retiree">save for retirement</a>, requiring them to stretch their existing savings across a longer period of time.&nbsp;
A similar study by John Hancock Financial found that early retirees are more likely to face financial stress for several reasons:&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>33% of those who retire early rely solely on Social Security for their income, compared to just 11% of those who retired when they planned.</li>
<li>Over half reported cutting back on spending and 45% downsized their living arrangements to reduce costs.</li>
<li>With longer life expectancy, Americans must plan for funding a retirement that could span multiple decades, extending longer if they retire early. </li>
</ul>
The EBRI study also revealed that many retirees are unprepared for the financial demands of retirement. Half of retirees said they did not save as much as they needed and only one-third thought they had enough.&nbsp;
Trending: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/62-years-old-with-1-mil-saved">I&#8217;m 62 Years Old And Have $1.2 Million Saved. Is This Enough to Retire Stress-Free?</a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Broader Retirement Reality</h2>
Despite the financial challenges, many retirees remain optimistic. Two-thirds of respondents in the EBRI study said they are living the retirement lifestyle they envisioned, even if getting there was difficult.
However, the findings from this study highlight an important lesson: while planning for the age you want to retire at is important, unforeseen circumstances can disrupt even the best-laid plans. Health issues, workplace changes and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/09/40800774/gen-xs-looming-retirement-crisis-is-worse-than-they-realize-expert-compares-it-to-being-handed-a">insufficient savings</a> are all risks that retirees should prepare for to ensure a more secure financial future.
For those still working, start planning early and revisit your savings goals frequently to help mitigate challenges that may come if you must unexpectedly retire.&nbsp;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Berkshire's Stock Surges to New Heights</h2>
The stock has been on a tear, boasting a 34% gain over the past year and 19.6% in the last six months.

With its price trading well above key moving averages—including a 200-day SMA of $430.63—technical indicators suggest the bullish trend is intact.
However, with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 68.79, the stock is teetering near overbought territory, raising questions about sustainability. Despite this, a Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) reading of 5.56 signals continued strength.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Buffett's Generosity Knows No Bounds</h2>
Even as his net worth hits $150 billion, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/warren-buffett">Warren Buffett</a> isn't slowing down his philanthropic mission. On Monday, the Oracle of Omaha pledged another $1.15 billion worth of Berkshire stock to his family's charitable foundations, continuing his 2006 commitment to give away most of his wealth.
Buffett has now donated 56.6% of his Berkshire shares, solidifying his legacy as both an investing icon and a philanthropic force. His latest move follows a colorful shareholder<a href="https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20241125323423/en/Berkshire-Hathaway-Inc.-News-Release"> letter</a>, where he reaffirmed his dedication to wealth redistribution.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Wealth Legacy Like No Other</h2>

Yet, he trails Elon Musk's $330 billion net worth by a significant margin. Unlike Musk's splashy ventures, Buffett's wealth engine—Berkshire Hathaway—continues its steady climb, reinforcing its position as a titan of diversified investing.
Investors are left wondering: can Berkshire maintain its momentum, or is the stock's RSI warning of a potential pullback? Either way, one thing remains clear: Buffett's empire isn't just breaking records—it's making history.

Warren Buffett's Billion-Dollar Moves Propel Berkshire Stock To Record Highs

The commercial aerospace sector is gaining altitude, driven by surging demand for passenger travel, robust freight activity, and a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/expert-ideas">resurgence in aircraft orders</a>.
According to Goldman Sachs analyst Noah Poponak, CFA, air traffic recovery is exceeding expectations, with growth now outpacing GDP by more than double. 
The sector&#8217;s strong fundamentals, buoyed by tight supply chains and rising aftermarket revenues, are positioning key aerospace stocks for a significant takeoff.
Here&#8217;s what you need to know — and the top stocks analysts say you should have on your radar.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Air Traffic Surpasses Pre-Pandemic Levels</h3>
&#8220;The overall commercial aerospace market is fundamentally strong,&#8221; said Poponak in a note Thursday. 
Global passenger traffic continues its remarkable climb as international air traffic jumped 9% year-over-year (yoy) in September, following an 11% yoy increase in August, according to the International Air Transport Association (IATA). Passenger capacity rose in lockstep, up 9% and 10% yoy, respectively.
Goldman Sachs forecasts another 9% yoy gain for October based on airline reports. 
Forward airline schedules indicate that global passenger capacity will grow by 6% to 7% year-over-year through November, December, and January, reflecting sustained demand as travel appetite remains strong.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Freight Market Delivers Double-Digit Growth</h3>
The recovery isn't limited to passengers. International freight traffic surged 11% yoy in September, following a 12% yoy gain in August, with freight capacity expanding by 8% yoy in both months. 
Major cargo players FedEx Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FDX#NYSE">FDX</a>) and United Parcel Service Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UPS#NYSE">UPS</a>) also saw gains, with UPS reporting 11% yoy growth and FedEx posting a 3% yoy increase in global air cargo traffic.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Boeing, Airbus Rack Up Orders</h3>
Large commercial jet manufacturers are riding the wave of demand. In October alone, Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) secured 63 new orders, while Airbus SE (OTCPK: EADSY) booked 82 aircraft orders—both with zero cancellations. 
&#8220;New aircraft order campaigning activity appears to remain robust, for both growth and replacement,&#8221; Poponak wrote. 
Parked aircraft, which currently make up 11.8% of the total global fleet, remained flat month-over-month, further reflecting high utilization levels as airlines capitalize on the recovery in passenger and freight traffic.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Goldman Sachs' Top Stock Picks</h3>
Goldman Sachs&#8217; Poponak highlighted 11 buy-rated stocks that stand to benefit from the industry's resurgence. These include large aircraft manufacturers, component suppliers, and business jet producers.

Aerospace Ready To Take Off: Goldman Sachs Reveals 11 Top Picks In The Sector

In the current session, the stock is trading at $139.73, after a 0.62% spike. Over the past month, Live Nation Entertainment Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LYV#NYSE">LYV</a>) stock increased by 19.28%, and in the past year, by 65.85%. With performance like this, long-term shareholders are optimistic but others are more likely to look into the price-to-earnings ratio to see if the stock might be overvalued.

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1732824015_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Comparing Live Nation Entertainment P/E Against Its Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Live Nation Entertainment has a better P/E ratio of 156.03 than the aggregate P/E ratio of 41.7 of the Entertainment industry. Ideally, one might believe that Live Nation Entertainment Inc. might perform better in the future than it's industry group, but it's probable that the stock is overvalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1732824016_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

Israel's ceasefire agreement with Hezbollah which entered into force on Wednesday appears to be unraveling after alleged violations by the Lebanese militant group prompted <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/israel">an Israeli military response</a>.
According to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), a Hezbollah-linked facility in southern Lebanon was targeted in an airstrike on Thursday after suspicious activity was identified. 
The site reportedly housed medium-range rockets, which were deemed a potential threat.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">IDF&#8217;s Response To Alleged Breaches</h3>
IDF spokesperson Avichay Adraee announced on X that several suspects, some traveling in vehicles, were spotted entering multiple areas in southern Lebanon, violating the ceasefire agreement. IDF forces responded by opening fire on the group.
Adraee further stated that &#8220;terrorist activity was detected at a Hezbollah site in southern Lebanon, which contained medium-range rockets.&#8221; He confirmed that Israeli warplanes carried out a strike to neutralize the threat.
&#8220;The IDF is deployed in southern Lebanon and is actively working to prevent any violations of the ceasefire agreement,&#8221; Adraee added.
He also issued a warning to residents of southern Lebanon, emphasizing that movement south of the Litani River is strictly prohibited between 5 p.m. and 7 a.m. local time.
Separately, Avital Leibovich, director of the American Jewish Committee Israel Office, highlighted that Hezbollah operatives had entered the village of Kfarkela near the Israeli border, where they are prohibited under the agreement. In response, IDF forces fired warning shots toward the group.
