Here's How Much You Would Have Made Owning Option Care Health Stock In The Last 5 Years

Author&nbsp;Robert Kiyosaki&nbsp;cautioned about the potential for significant job losses in the near future. He urged individuals to pivot towards entrepreneurship and bolster their financial education.
What Happened: In a post on X, Kiyosaki voiced his apprehensions about the evolving job market on April 16. He highlighted the millions of jobs lost in the past two years and projected that the trend will continue, affecting millions more.
Seizing this moment, Kiyosaki advised individuals to shift their attention from job security to entrepreneurship. He proposed that&nbsp;joining a network marketing company&nbsp;could be a cost-effective way to develop entrepreneurial skills.

<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">BEFORE YOU LOSE YOUR JOB In the last two years…. Millions have lost their jobs. In the next few years…. Millions more will lose their jobs. If you are feeling you may lose your job….best prepare now. Turn a bad event to a great opportunity to stop being an employee,…

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

Despite potential challenges, such as high rejection rates and unstable income, Kiyosaki views this as a feasible option for those at risk of unemployment.

Kiyosaki has been a consistent voice warning about economic downturns and the devaluation of the U.S. dollar. 
He is a staunch supporter&nbsp;of assets like Bitcoin, gold,&nbsp;and silver and continues to stress the significance of financial education and taking proactive measures towards financial&nbsp;independence in an unpredictable economy.
Why It Matters: Kiyosaki&#8217;s warning comes at a time when the global economy is still grappling with the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. His advice to focus on entrepreneurship and financial education is particularly relevant as traditional job markets continue to evolve and become more uncertain. 
His endorsement of network marketing companies as a means to gain entrepreneurial skills could potentially influence many to consider this path. 
Furthermore, his advocacy for&nbsp;assets like bitcoin, gold, and&nbsp;silver underscores the growing interest in alternative investment avenues amidst economic instability.

Robert Kiyosaki Says Millions Could Be Out of Work — Here's His Game Plan

Looking into the current session, MasTec Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MTZ#NYSE">MTZ</a>) shares are trading at $117.37, after a 0.03% decrease. Over the past month, the stock decreased by 6.18%, but over the past year, it actually went up by 38.92%. With questionable short-term performance like this, and great long-term performance, long-term shareholders might want to start looking into the company's price-to-earnings ratio. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1745006438_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Comparing MasTec 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. 
MasTec has a better P/E ratio of 57.0 than the aggregate P/E ratio of 35.39 of the Construction &amp; Engineering industry. Ideally, one might believe that MasTec 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/2025/1745006438_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.

President Donald Trump expressed his hesitation to escalate tariffs on China, citing potential trade stagnation. He also hinted at China&#8217;s attempts to negotiate a deal.
What Happened: Trump voiced his concerns about escalating tariffs on China, suggesting it could hinder trade between the two nations. He also mentioned that Beijing has made several attempts to initiate talks.
Trump avoided direct answers when questioned about his personal contact with Chinese leader&nbsp;Xi Jinping. He emphasized his good relationship with Xi and suggested that any outreach from China would have Xi&#8217;s knowledge and approval, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-04-17/trump-says-he-is-reluctant-to-keep-raising-tariffs-on-china?srnd=homepage-americas&amp;sref=TBDibEcD">reports </a>Bloomberg. 
The ongoing economic clash between the US and China has seen both countries imposing hefty import duties on each other. Trump has increased&nbsp;levies to a combined 145%&nbsp;on Chinese goods, with China retaliating&nbsp;with duties of 125% on&nbsp;US goods.

Despite the high tariff levels, Trump indicated a potential willingness to lower them. He also&nbsp;expressed confidence about a deal&nbsp;that would include trade concessions&nbsp;and a deal for the&nbsp;sale of TikTok&#8217;s US assets.
Trump suggested that the discussion of tariffs could be a part of the negotiation if China approves ByteDance Ltd.&#8217;s divestment of TikTok&#8217;s US operations.
Why It Matters: The trade war between the US and China has been a significant factor in global economic dynamics. The high tariffs imposed by both countries have affected global trade patterns and have the potential to stagnate trade between the two nations. 
Trump&#8217;s reluctance to further escalate tariffs and his hint at a potential trade deal could signal a shift in US-China trade relations. This development could have significant implications for global trade and economic stability.

Trump Expresses Reluctance To Escalate China Tariffs, Hints At Trade Deal

Did you know that $2.7 trillion in commercial debt is maturing in the next 30 months? This event can have <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@grantcardone/video/7492144240714108203?lang=en">significant ramifications</a> on the global economy, and Grant Cardone doesn't mince words when he says what can happen.
"The problem is so big, it can drag down 300 banks," the real estate investor and author of "The 10X Rule" stated.
Is the claim overblown hyperbole, or is it justified for investors to be worried about the looming debt? These are some of the details to consider.

<li><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">Are you rich?</a> Here&#8217;s what Americans think you need to be considered wealthy.</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Office Space Is Losing Demand</h2>
While Cardone also mentioned apartment buildings, he put most of the focus on office space when describing the looming $2.7 trillion debt. Commercial real estate isn't doing as well because people got comfortable with remote work during the pandemic. Many companies now offer hybrid work or fully remote work, and that reduces the demand for office space.
Fewer tenants and less demand translate into lower rents and vacant units. That's not good for landlords, and it can lead to loan defaults. An asset class that is losing value will only get worse if foreclosures become more common. Cardone mentions that regional banks can feel the most pressure since commercial real estate makes up a large portion of their books.
He believes that more than 300 banks can go out of business. Cardone also mentioned that government pension funds can also go bust once commercial real estate prices crash.
Trending: BlackRock is calling 2025 the year of alternative assets. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">One firm from NYC has quietly built a group of 60,000+ investors who have all joined in on an alt asset class previously exclusive to billionaires like Bezos and Gates.</a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Leverage Is A Double-Edged Sword</h2>
The looming commercial real estate crisis highlights the risk of leverage. While you can generate passive cash flow and have your tenants cover your mortgage, conditions can change quickly and leave investors in vulnerable positions.
Lately, Cardone has been using cash to finance his deals. He's said that he's waiting for interest rates to get lower before borrowing against his properties. While buying a rental property with 3% down may sound attractive to a real estate investor who wants to quickly scale their portfolio, there are significant risks with this approach.
Over-leverage combined with a declining demand for commercial real estate can put a lot of pressure on financial institutions. Office space in big cities like Boston and San Francisco is also facing downward pressure that can affect how those cities generate tax revenue.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Long-Term Headwinds Can Make It Worse</h2>
While some locations have more insulation than others, the outlook doesn't suggest a V-shaped recovery for commercial real estate. Cardone mentioned that some commercial real estate properties are selling for 10 cents on the dollar. While that may only apply to a small portion of real estate properties, a Redditor compiled a <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/CommercialRealEstate/comments/1fuiwi5/more_bloodbath_in_the_san_francisco_office_space/">list of recent San Francisco commercial property sales</a> that are hard to ignore.&nbsp;
The first example is pretty close to Cardone's claim of commercial properties selling for 10 cents on the dollar. Most of the properties on the list have lost 50% to 80% of their value within a decade.
Vacancy rates may continue to drop as remote and hybrid work become normalized. Apartments may also face some heat due to deportations increasing the housing supply and low fertility rates continuing to fuel the trend of new retirees outnumbering new workers.&nbsp;
Although long-term headwinds remain, Trump's tariffs can benefit the industry by forcing the Fed to lower interest rates. Near-zero interest rates would make it easier for investors to refinance their commercial real estate loans. This approach would kick the can further down the road, but Cardone's warning about a $2.7 trillion commercial real estate collapse holds a lot of merit.

This move is expected to ease cross-border supply chain pressures, particularly<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44816653/canada-eases-retaliatory-tariffs-on-us-goods-as-trade-tensions-thaw-under-softer-trump-stance-stocks-react"> benefiting Michigan-based automakers.</a>
On the macro front, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell flagged inflation and growth risks stemming from trade tariffs, reiterating the Fed&#8217;s cautious stance and signaling that rate cuts <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/04/44848474/fed-chair-powell-says-tariffs-lead-to-temporary-rise-in-inflation">won&#8217;t come prematurely.</a>
This cautious tone triggered an angry response from President Donald Trump, who blasted Powell as "always too late" on rate cuts and hinted at prematurely removing him from office, despite Powell's term <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44862662/trump-pressures-fed-as-ecb-delivers-7th-straight-rate-cut">running through May 2026.</a>
Meanwhile, the European Central Bank executed its sixth consecutive rate cut, further fueling Trump's public frustration with the Fed. During an Oval Office meeting with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, Trump doubled down, declaring that Powell &#8220;will be out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/04/44875406/hell-be-out-if-i-ask-him-can-trumps-threat-to-oust-powell-shake-the-fed">if the President asks.&#8221;</a>
Gold continues to defy gravity, fueled by strong investor demand, heightened policy uncertainty, and persistent central bank buying.
Bullion prices – as tracked by the SPDR Gold Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLD#NYSE">GLD</a>) – soared to $3,330 per ounce, marking a new all-time high and extending gains to 14 of the past 16 weeks.

Trump Blasts Powell, Nvidia Tumbles On New Export Ban, Gold Defies Gravity: This Week In Markets

Honeywell Intl's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HON#NYSE">HON</a>) short percent of float has fallen 3.91% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 7.90 million shares sold short, which is 1.23% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 1.79 days to cover their short positions on average.
<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?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">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.

<h3>Comparing Honeywell Intl's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Honeywell Intl's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 6.43%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

Is Adtalem Glb Education Gaining or Losing Market Support?

In the current market session, Paylocity Holding Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PCTY#NASDAQ">PCTY</a>) share price is at $183.98, after a 0.13% spike. Moreover, over the past month, the stock fell by 4.13%, but in the past year, went up by 15.31%. Shareholders might be interested in knowing whether the stock is overvalued, even if the company is performing up to par in the current session. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1745002829_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Evaluating Paylocity Holding P/E in Comparison to Its Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 53.5 in the Professional Services industry, Paylocity Holding Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 47.24. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1745002829_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.

A Look Into Paylocity Holding Inc's Price Over Earnings

After months of sliding prices and bearish charts, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/oil">oil just pulled</a> a fast one. The United States Oil Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USO#NYSE">USO</a>) is up over 7% in the last five days &#8211; its best weekly move in months &#8211; raising the inevitable question: is the bottom finally in?

Technically speaking, the oil proxy, USO ETF still has a lot to prove. It's trading below its 20, 50, and 200-day simple moving averages (SMAs), flashing a bearish trend. On the yearly chart, the price is right below the 200-day SMA. If buying pressure and bullish momentum continues, we could see a major breakthrough above its long-term resistance.

That said, fundamentals are starting to shift &#8211; and smart money is sniffing opportunity. Energy investor Josh Young says we're seeing the "highest level of smart money buying oil since 2020."

And as Against All Odds Research bluntly put it: "Crude oil looks dead to most people. But commercials—the pros who live in this market—are quietly buying."
What&#8217;s driving the shift? Geopolitics and OPEC. U.S. sanctions on Chinese buyers of Iranian oil have added pressure to global supply, and deeper cuts from Iraq and Kazakhstan are tightening things further. Meanwhile, falling gasoline and distillate inventories suggest demand is still firm, despite a surprise crude stockpile build.
Sure, demand growth isn't what it used to be. Trade war fears and economic uncertainty still cloud the long-term picture. But right now, value buyers are stepping in—and the charts are finally reacting.
A bounce toward $75–$80 crude? Not out of the question. As long as key support levels hold, oil might just be setting up for a sneaky comeback.
In short: oil may not be pretty &#8211; but it's definitely not dead.

And Governor Ron DeSantis faces questions over whether public funds were funneled into anti-cannabis campaigns.
Elsewhere, Weedmaps dropped a custom sneaker collab, Swatch&#8217;s 4/20-friendly watch returned to the spotlight and a massive new cancer study delivered groundbreaking validation for medical cannabis. Avicanna posted record earnings, Minnesota crossed a regulatory milestone and Blue Violets made delivery history in New Jersey.

SHF Holdings, d/b/a Safe Harbor Financial (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHFS#NASDAQ">SHFS</a>), announced a strategic partnership with FundCanna to provide cannabis operators with streamlined access to capital and compliant banking services.

"This partnership delivers a practical, scalable solution that puts the financial needs of cannabis operators first," said Safe Harbor CEO Terry Mendez.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Politics, Policy And Regulation</h3>
Congress Reintroduces STATES 2.0 Act
A bipartisan group of U.S. lawmakers reintroduced the STATES 2.0 Act, which would shield legal cannabis activity from federal interference. The bill would also legalize interstate commerce, normalize IRS treatment of cannabis businesses and establish a framework for federal oversight and testing.
"The current federal approach to cannabis policy is not working," said Rep. Dave Joyce (R-OH), co-chair of the Congressional Cannabis Caucus. "The STATES 2.0 Act creates a more logical approach that protects states' rights while improving public safety."
The bill maintains FDA oversight for cannabis products, removes barriers to tax deductions under Section 280E, and instructs federal agencies to begin rulemaking within 180 days of passage. Supporters include Reps. Max Miller (R-OH), Dina Titus (D-NV) and a coalition of advocacy organizations including CPEAR, Americans for Prosperity, and the U.S. Cannabis Roundtable.

Minnesota Finalizes Adult-Use Cannabis Rules
The Minnesota Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) announced that final adult-use rules were published in the State Register and are now in effect. With this step completed, OCM can begin issuing business licenses to qualifying applicants, including more than 600 social equity applicants already advanced through preapproval.
"We are continuing to prioritize social equity in every stage of licensing," said Jess Jackson, OCM's director of social equity. Licenses for capped categories such as cultivator and retailer will be awarded via lottery later this summer, while uncapped license types will be distributed on a rolling basis.
<a class="" href="https://cannabis.mn.gov">Details available on the OCM Rulemaking page</a>
Slovenia Unveils Progressive Medical Cannabis Law
Slovenia's Parliament introduced sweeping medical cannabis reforms that would legalize the cultivation, production and distribution of cannabis for medical and scientific use. The bill eliminates public tenders, allows open licensing for private companies and removes cannabis and THC from the country's prohibited drugs list—so long as products meet GACP, GMP and European Pharmacopeia standards.
Cannabis will be available via standard medical or veterinary prescriptions, and patient access is guaranteed through pharmacies, licensed distributors and healthcare providers.
The legislation follows a 2024 referendum in which 66.7% of voters supported cannabis cultivation and legalization for medical use. According to ICBC, the new framework would position Slovenia as having the most advanced medical cannabis law in Europe.

DeSantis Faces Scrutiny Over Anti-Cannabis Funding
A Miami Herald investigation revealed that the DeSantis administration steered $10 million from a legal Medicaid settlement to a charity led by Florida First Lady Casey DeSantis. That charity then gave $5 million each to two organizations backing a political committee that opposed Amendment 3, the failed 2024 initiative to legalize adult-use cannabis in Florida.
The money flowed from the Hope Florida Foundation to Secure Florida's Future and Save Our Society from Drugs, which then routed millions to Keep Florida Clean, a DeSantis-aligned committee. Republican lawmakers are now demanding records and investigating whether public funds were improperly used to fight cannabis legalization.

Curaleaf Turns Dispensary Into Hemp Shop
Curaleaf (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CURLF#OTC">CURLF</a>) has converted one of its medical dispensaries in West Palm Beach into a hemp-focused retail store called The Hemp Company. The location will offer Farm Bill-compliant THC products from Curaleaf brands and partners like 1906 and Cann.
The move comes as Curaleaf distances itself from Florida's stalled adult-use push and signals short-term interest in the rapidly growing hemp-derived THC segment.
Trulieve Invests $19.6M To Revive Legalization Push
Trulieve (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TCNNF#OTC">TCNNF</a>) contributed $19.6 million to Smart &amp; Safe Florida to support another attempt at adult-use legalization in 2026. That's in addition to the $145 million the company spent on the failed 2024 initiative.
So far, only 150,804 signatures have been verified out of the 880,062 needed to qualify for the next ballot, raising questions about whether other operators will step in to help fund the campaign.
Herbwell Cannabis Targets Manhattan's Elite
Herbwell, a national cannabis chain, is opening a luxury dispensary at 519 Madison Avenue—possibly the only one of its kind on the high-end Manhattan corridor. The shop promises a curated experience for both seasoned users and curious first-timers.
"We've built a gorgeous dispensary that fits in on Madison Avenue," said CEO Arish Halani. "One day we'll be doing collabs with the biggest brands in the world."
The brand is also planning to open a cannabis club in the building's upper floors, including a rooftop lounge overlooking Midtown, pending future regulations.

"We want to reach our customers when they can't make their way to the store—but in a way that makes sense," said Lauren Thompson, co-owner of Blue Violets.

Landmark Study Confirms Cannabis Benefits for Cancer Patients
In what may be the most comprehensive review of its kind, Cancer Playbook and the Whole Health Oncology Institute published a meta-analysis of over 10,000 peer-reviewed studies on medical cannabis and cancer. The result: a 3-to-1 scientific consensus in favor of cannabis for treating cancer-related symptoms, including inflammation, metastasis, appetite loss and pain.
"We expected controversy. What we found was overwhelming scientific consensus," said Ryan Castle, WHOI's head of research.
The study also incorporated patient-reported outcomes to highlight real-world effectiveness—marking a shift toward more holistic, experience-driven research models. Findings from this report were submitted to the DEA as part of the case for rescheduling cannabis.

Israel Slaps 165% Tariffs on Canadian Cannabis
In a dramatic turn, Israel's Ministry of Economy announced it will impose tariffs of up to 165% on Canadian cannabis imports for the next four years. The decision—pending approval by the Knesset Finance Committee—carves out exceptions for select producers like Decibel (12%), Village Farms (28%), Organigram (53%) and Tilray (70%).
The move signals a potential realignment of the global cannabis trade, with implications for both exporters and Israeli medical patients.

'Ford Halts Shipments of F-150s and Other Models to China'- WSJ

It was the summer of 1971. The United States was embroiled in the Vietnam War, inflationary pressures were building, and global confidence in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets">U.S. dollar was faltering. </a>
On August 15, President Richard Nixon addressed the nation and made a historic announcement: the U.S. would suspend the convertibility of dollars into gold, effectively ending the Bretton Woods system.
The move—now known as the "Nixon Shock"—broke the last tie between paper money and the precious metal, inaugurating the era of floating fiat currencies and sparking one of the most consequential monetary transitions in modern history.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Gold vs. Stocks Performance Since Nixon Killed The Gold Standard</h3>
Imagine waking up on August 16, 1971, with $5,000 to invest. 
The S&amp;P 500 index was trading at 100 points, while an ounce of gold cost just $43.50. 
Had you bought gold, you would have taken home around 115 ounces of bullion. Had you put your money into the S&amp;P 500, you&#8217;d have secured a diversified slice of the 500 largest publicly traded U.S. companies.
At first glance, gold appears to have been the winning bet. 
Fast forward to April 2025, and those 115 ounces of gold would now be worth roughly $379,500, based on a spot price of $3,330 per ounce. 
That&#8217;s a total return of about 7,500%—not bad for something you can stash in a vault.
By contrast, the S&amp;P 500 has grown from 100 to 5,282 points over the same period, delivering a price appreciation of approximately 5,182%. Your $5,000 would have grown to just $264,100. 
Gold wins. Yet, only on paper.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">The Dividend Illusion</h3>
Here&#8217;s what most investors miss: the S&amp;P 500 index, as quoted daily, reflects only price movements. 
It doesn't account for the powerful stream of dividends that companies pay out to shareholders—cash payments that, when reinvested, have a compounding effect on long-term returns.
If you had collected those dividends every year and simply pocketed them in cash without reinvesting, your total would have been modestly higher than the price-only return. 
Over 53 years, with an average dividend yield of around 2.81%, you would have accumulated about $7,452 in cash. 
Combined with the $264,100 value of your original stock investment, you'd have ended up with roughly $271,552. Better than the price-only figure, but still well behind gold.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">The Power Of Reinvestment</h3>
Now let's consider the full picture. If you had reinvested every dividend back into the S&amp;P 500 over those 54 years, your $5,000 would have ballooned into an astonishing $1,185,516.
That's not a typo. It's a total return of 23,610%, or 47x your original investment. 
The power of compounding, of reinvesting the cash paid out by companies rather than spending it or letting it sit idle, is what transforms long-term equity investing into a wealth-generating engine.
So while gold may have shone brightly during the inflationary storms and monetary turmoil that followed Nixon's speech, it ultimately lagged behind the compounding machine that is the S&amp;P 500, with one important condition: you had to reinvest those dividends.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Are S&amp;P 500 ETFs Reinvesting Dividends?</h3>
Today's investment vehicles tracking the S&amp;P 500—such as the Vanguard S&amp;P 500 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VOO#NYSE">VOO</a>) and the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>)—do provide investors with exposure to dividends, but they are distributing funds. This means that dividends are paid out in cash and are not automatically reinvested within the ETF. 
To replicate the compounding effect seen in historical total return scenarios, investors must manually reinvest those dividends or activate a dividend reinvestment plan (DRIP) through their brokerage account.

AMMO Finalizes Sale of Its Ammunition Manufacturing Assets to Olin Winchester; No Financial Terms Disclosed

Renowned investor and political commentator Anthony Scaramucci foresees a possible division within the Republican Party, attributing it to President Donald Trump&#8216;s trade policies.
What Happened: Scaramucci, who once served as a spokesperson for Trump, expressed his disapproval of Trump&#8217;s trade policy and its repercussions on the U.S. economy. 
He also hinted at the possibility of discontented Republicans forming a new party, drawing parallels with the Republican separation&nbsp;from the Whigs in the&nbsp;1850s. He provided guidance to Democrats on strategies to counter Trump&#8217;s influence.
Scaramucci, who has ties with both major U.S. political parties, has not shied away from expressing his disapproval&nbsp;of Trump&#8217;s trade and economic&nbsp;policies. He also shared his thoughts on how Democrats and Republicans should react.
As per the report <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/anthony-scaramucci-trump-republicans-democrats-tariffs-trade-political-strategy-wokeism-2025-4">by </a>Insider, Scaramucci has observed that opposing Trump has often led to the end of political careers for Republicans. Nevertheless, he is of the opinion that if his predictions materialize, politicians who are on good terms with Trump may need to create some distance before the midterm elections.
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44658808/scaramucci-on-tariffs-there-is-stupid-and-then-there-is-donald-trump-stupid">Scaramucci on Tariffs: &#8216;There Is Stupid and Then There Is Donald Trump Stupid&#8217;</a>
Scaramucci also encouraged Democrats to take a leaf out of Trump&#8217;s book when it comes to authenticity and connecting with the middle class. He cautioned Democrats against underestimating issues such as border security and economic challenges, even if they are in disagreement with Trump&#8217;s approach.
Finally, Scaramucci highlighted the necessity for Democrats to improve their messaging. He pointed out that their failure to effectively promote their achievements has given Trump the opportunity to advance his trade policy.
Why It Matters: Scaramucci&#8217;s predictions and advice come at a time when the U.S. is grappling with political polarization and economic uncertainty. 
His insights could potentially influence the strategies of both Democrats and Republicans in the upcoming midterm elections. 
His comments also highlight the ongoing debate about Trump&#8217;s trade policies and their impact on the U.S. economy.
