The White House has appointed Elon Musk, the wealthiest individual globally, as a &#8220;special government employee.&#8221; This designation allows Musk to be employed by the federal government while potentially sidestepping certain disclosure rules.
What Happened: As reported by Reuters, Musk, who continues to helm Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) and SpaceX, has been charged with leading Trump&#8217;s cost-cutting initiative, the Department of Government Efficiency. This role has granted Musk&#8217;s team access to various government systems, triggering concern and turmoil within some agencies.
Musk&#8217;s new designation could enable him to bypass disclosure rules about conflicts of interest and finances applicable to regular government employees. He will not receive a paycheck. This development has sparked scrutiny, with Democratic lawmakers voicing concerns over a billionaire without an electoral mandate gaining substantial power over the federal government.
Trump defended Musk, asserting that Musk cannot act without White House approval. He also lauded Musk&#8217;s instinct and his team&#8217;s talent. 
&#8220;Elon can&#8217;t do and won&#8217;t do anything without our approval,&#8221; said Trump. He said, &#8220;We&#8217;ll give him the approval, where appropriate; where not appropriate, we won&#8217;t. But he reports in.&#8221;
However, questions about accountability persist, as most special government employees are not bound to file financial disclosures, potentially making it challenging for the public and journalists to hold Musk and the government accountable.

Why It Matters: Musk&#8217;s appointment comes amidst his recent <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/02/43442302/elon-musk-says-elizabeth-warren-is-meddling-with-trillions-in-us-treasury-via-his-unqualified-flunkies">criticisms</a> of the Treasury Department and his proposal to use <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/02/43425216/elon-musk-supports-putting-treasury-department-operations-on-blockchain-to-fix-irregularities">blockchain technology</a> to streamline its operations. 
His Department of Government Efficiency was recently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43440720/elon-musks-4b-doge-plan-may-cut-federal-spending-30-apples-spring-2025-lineup-revealed-triumph-group-to-go-privat">granted access</a> to a sensitive Treasury Department payment system, a move that coincided with the resignation of a career Treasury official who had disagreements with Musk&#8217;s department. 
The potential implications of Musk&#8217;s new role and his plans for the Department of Government Efficiency, including a $4 billion a day cost-cutting plan, remain to be seen.
Notably, the Department of Government Efficiency shares its acronym with Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>), a cryptocurrency that Musk has promoted in the past with his social media posts.
Price Action: At the time of writing DOGE was seen trading higher by 7.95% at $0.285, according to <a href="https://bzresearch.myclickfunnels.com/benzinga-pro-content-webinar-registration/?utm_source=BZprocontent020325&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Elon Musk Appointed As 'Special Government Employee' Amid DOGE Department Push: 'Can't Do Anything Without Our Approval,' Says Trump

Elon Musk's <a href="https://www.dailysignal.com/tag/doge">Department of Government Efficiency</a>&nbsp;(DOGE) has been identifying and eliminating a wide swath of federal spending since President Donald Trump took office.
Now, DOGE is setting its sights on two mainstays in U.S. public broadcasting and journalism: NPR and PBS, the National Public Radio and the Public Broadcast System.
In a Monday <a href="https://oversight.house.gov/release/doge-subcommittee-chairwoman-greene-invites-npr-and-pbs-leaders-to-address-biased-news-coverage-at-public-hearing/">press release</a>, <a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/topic/marjorie-taylor-greene">Marjorie Taylor Greene</a>, head of a new House subcommittee, Delivering on Government Efficiency, accused NPR and PBS of "systematically biased content" and is demanding that the heads of both groups testify before Congress for their alleged <a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/marjorie-taylor-green-pbs-npr-biased-content-b2691492.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">&#8220;blatantly ideological and partisan coverage.&#8221;</a>
Greene pointed to NPR's coverage of the Hunter Biden laptop story, the Russian collusion story and COVID-19 origins. She blasted PBS for failing "to provide Americans with accurate reporting by incorrectly implying that Elon Musk made a fascist salute during President Trump's inauguration celebration."

Musk DOGE Partner Marjorie Taylor Green Goes After NPR, PBS — Is The Department Of Education Next?

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission launched an inquiry on Monday into Crypto.com and Kalshi on how the companies' Super Bowl event contracts comply<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/02/43439189/robinhood-to-offer-super-bowl-event-contracts"> with derivatives regulations.</a>
The Details: According to a Bloomberg <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-02-03/crypto-com-kalshi-s-super-bowl-wagers-probed-by-us-derivatives-regulator">report</a>, the CFTC has requested additional information from Kalshi and Crypto.com, including evidence that the products are not susceptible to manipulation and comply with regulations.&nbsp;
The CFTC will then evaluate the responses before deciding on any enforcement actions or begin drafting a new rule.
"We are continuing to review the contracts in accordance with our regulations," a CFTC spokesman told Bloomberg.&nbsp;

The CFTC put Crypto.com's sports contracts under a special regulatory review in January to determine if they qualified as gaming. The CFTC did not place Kalshi's sports contracts under review at the time.&nbsp;
The CFTC is expected to vote by mid-April on whether to bar the contracts and sports contracts continue to trade in the meantime.&nbsp;
The CFTC's latest inquiry comes as Robinhood Markets, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HOOD#NASDAQ">HOOD</a>) announced on Monday that its clients can access sports contracts through the Kalshi exchange. 
"With an emerging asset class like event contracts, we recognize an opportunity to better serve our customers as their interests converge across the markets, news, sports and entertainment," Robinhood said in a statement.

<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/11/42011977/99-billion-bet-warren-buffett-invests-heavily-in-2-stocks-expected-to-jump-19-and-20-wall-street-analysts-predict">Warren Buffett's </a>$1 million bet against hedge funds wasn't just about bragging rights—it was a challenge to Wall Street's high-fee investment strategies.&nbsp;
Back in 2007, he bet that a simple S&amp;P 500 index fund would outperform a carefully selected group of hedge funds over a decade. Ted Seides, a hedge fund pro from Protégé Partners, took the other side, convinced that active management could beat the market.
The timing couldn't have been more dramatic. The bet kicked off on Jan. 1, 2008—right as the financial crisis hit. At first, it looked like the hedge funds had the upper hand. They lost 23.9% while the S&amp;P 500 tanked by 37%. But as markets recovered, Buffett's index fund started pulling ahead.&nbsp;

</ul>
By the end of 2016, the Vanguard 500 Index Fund Admiral Shares (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VFIAX#NASDAQ">VFIAX</a>)—Buffett's choice—had delivered an average annual return of 7.1%. The hedge funds? Just 2.2%. That's a massive difference. If you had invested $100,000 in VFIAX, it would have grown to about $185,000. The hedge funds were at only $121,000.
So, what went wrong for the hedge funds? Fees. Hedge funds typically use the "two-and-twenty" model—2% in management fees and 20% of any profits. Over time, those fees add up.&nbsp;
According to a recent study by LCH Investments, since the inception of hedge funds in 1969, investors have paid nearly half of their profits as fees. Compare that with&nbsp; index funds, which charge as little as 0.03%, and it's easy to see why Buffett's bet played out the way it did.
Trending: It&#8217;s no wonder Jeff Bezos holds over $70 million in art — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">this alternative asset has outpaced the S&amp;P 500 since 1995, delivering an average annual return of 11.4%. Here&#8217;s how everyday investors are getting started.</a>
Buffett has always been a big believer in keeping things simple. He once said, "When trillions of dollars are managed by Wall Streeters charging high fees, it will usually be the managers who reap outsized profits, not the clients." The numbers back him up.
Even today, the trend holds. A recent Vanguard study found that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42516732/the-average-401k-balance-soars-to-a-record-breaking-high-is-your-nest-egg-keeping-pace">401(k) </a>investors saw an average annual return of 9.7% over the five years ended in December 2023. Hedge funds? They averaged 6.6% over the same period, according to the Barclay Hedge Fund Index. Over decades, that difference adds up in a big way.
The takeaway? For most people, keeping it simple wins. Morningstar reports that approximately 29% of actively managed funds outperform their passive counterparts over the decade ended last June. Buffett's bet just reinforced what research keeps proving: for the average investor, a low-cost index fund is one of the best ways to grow wealth over time.

Former President Jimmy Carter almost made history at the 67th Grammy Awards, an accomplishment that could have added to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/movers-shakers/24/12/42716329/jimmy-carter-the-39th-us-president-who-championed-human-rights-and-peace-in-the-middle-east-had-died">his lifetime accolades.</a>
What Happened: Months after passing away at <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/25/01/42901026/jimmy-carters-funeral-5-living-presidents-attend-family-colleagues-share-warm-humorous-stories">the age of 100</a> in December, Carter was honored with a Grammy Award win at the 67th annual music awards show Sunday.
Carter <a href="https://www.grammy.com/artists/jimmy-carter/7405">won </a>his fourth Grammy Award for Best Audio Book, Narration and Storytelling Recording for his "Last Sundays in Plains: A Centennial Celebration" recordings.
The recordings came from his final Sunday School lessons at Maranatha Baptist Church in Georgia. The record also features recordings from Darius Rucker, LeeAnn Rimes and Jon Batiste.
Carter beat out Guy Oldfield, George Clinton, Dolly Parton and Barbra Streisand for the award, as <a href="https://apnews.com/article/president-jimmy-carter-2025-grammy-awards-0b8a1c1fa8c8887b945a2b893b7e59e5">reported </a>by the Associated Press. 
The former president previously won three other Grammy Awards for spoken word recordings, winning most recently at the 61st &nbsp;(2019) and 58th (2016) award ceremonies.
The posthumous Grammy win nearly made history. If Carter was still alive he would have become the oldest Grammy Award winner in history. The current record is 97 years old held by Pinetop Perkins for a win in 2011. Carter ranks among the top 10 oldest winners for his past awards.

Why It's Important: Carter's grandson Jason Carter accepted the award on his behalf.
"Having his words captured in this way for my family and for the world is truly remarkable," Carter said while accepting the award.
Speaking backstage at the award ceremony, Carter celebrated his grandfather's love of music.
"He's such an enormous music fan. He loves the creative aspect of music," Carter said, as reported by the Associated Press. "It's been an important part of his political life, an important part of his personal life. He's an artist in many ways."
The former president is the most-awarded Grammy winner among former presidents with his four wins, which come from 10 career nominations. Barack Obama and Bill Clinton each have won two Grammy Awards. Michelle Obama and Hillary Clinton have also won Grammy Awards.
Harry Truman, John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon were nominated for Grammy Awards, but did not win.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Monday ordered a halt to the majority of work at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau after being selected as the acting director of the agency by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/02/43450076/trump-administration-weighs-plan-to-shut-down-education-department-which-stocks-could-be-affected">President Donald Trump. </a>
The Details: According to <a href="https://www.wsj.com/politics/policy/bessent-takes-helm-of-consumer-finance-watchdog-orders-halt-to-work-0a9cfc3d?mod=hp_lead_pos3">a report</a> from the Wall Street Journal, Bessent directed the CFPB to freeze much of its work in an internal email. The work stoppage includes decisions about active litigations, enforcement actions and suspends effective dates for completed rules that are not yet in effect.
Bessent is the temporary replacement for Biden appointee Rohit Chopra who was ousted from the agency on Friday.&nbsp;

"I look forward to working with the CFPB to advance President Trump's agenda to lower costs for the American people and accelerate economic growth," Bessent said in a written statement Monday.
It is expected that Bessent will begin to roll back many of the regulations that were enacted under the Biden administration, including limits on overdraft fees and the exemption of medical debt reporting by credit agencies.

In <a href="https://x.com/SenSanders/status/1884078267214487788">a post on X</a>, Sanders took a jab at Trump&#8217;s territorial ambitions, writing:
&#8220;Mr. President: Instead of stealing Greenland from Denmark, I have a better idea. In Denmark, everyone is guaranteed health care, college education is free, parents receive 1-year of paid paternity leave &amp; workers don't make less than $22 an hour. Let&#8217;s steal those ideas.&#8221;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Greenlanders Overwhelmingly Oppose Joining the U.S.</h2>
Even though Trump says Greenlanders &#8220;want to be with us,&#8221; a new poll says otherwise. A survey found that 85% of Greenlanders do not want to become part of the U.S., while only 6% support the idea. About 45% see Trump's interest in Greenland as a threat, while 43% see it as an opportunity.
Even when it comes to citizenship, only 8% of Greenlanders would trade their Danish passport for an American one, while 55% prefer to remain Danish citizens. The numbers make it clear—most Greenlanders want nothing to do with becoming part of the United States.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Denmark and Europe Push Back</h2>
Trump&#8217;s aggressive push for Greenland has sparked an international backlash. Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has been meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, and other leaders to make sure Greenland stays under Denmark. In a 45-minute phone call, Trump and Frederiksen argued, and European officials later called the conversation &#8220;horrendous.&#8221;

Greenland is important for its location and its resources. The U.S. already has a military base in Greenland, called Pituffik Space Base (formerly Thule Air Base), which is a key Arctic outpost. For Trump, controlling Greenland would mean strengthening America&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/emerging-markets/25/01/43133508/trump-wants-to-buy-greenland-for-us-security">position against China and Russia</a>.
Greenland is also rich in rare earth minerals, uranium, and oil. As the world looks for more of these resources, Greenland has become more valuable. Climate change is also making Arctic waters more accessible for shipping, adding to its economic potential.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Denmark's Welfare System</h2>
Denmark has a strong support system for its people, but it means paying higher taxes. The government covers health care, free college, and paid parental leave through a system where wealthier people pay more. The top income tax rate is 55.9%, there is a 25% sales tax, and businesses pay a 22% tax.
In Denmark, students not only attend college for free but also receive a stipend from the government to cover living expenses. The country consistently ranks as one of the happiest in the world, with low crime, strong social programs, and a good work-life balance.
So, unlike the U.S., Denmark provides universal healthcare, tuition-free college and generous paid parental leave.

While Trump is focused on acquiring Greenland, Sanders and his supporters argue that the U.S. should be paying attention to why Denmark and Greenland rank so high in quality of life.&nbsp;
For now, Greenland's government, backed by Denmark and the European Union, has made it clear that it's not for sale. Whether Trump will continue to push for control remains to be seen, but for Greenlanders, the answer is simple—they'd rather keep their autonomy, their benefits, and their way of life.

Bernie Sanders To Trump: Instead Of Greenland, Steal Denmark's Ideas Of Free Health Care, Paid Parental Leave And $22 Minimum Wage

Technology giant Alphabet Inc (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>) could focus on cloud, AI and YouTube growth when the company reports fourth-quarter financial results after the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings">market close Tuesday.</a>
Earnings Estimates: Analysts expect the company to report fourth-quarter revenue of $96.6 billion, up from $86.3 billion in last year's fourth quarter, according to data <a href="https://bzresearch.myclickfunnels.com/benzinga-pro-content-webinar-registration/?utm_source=BZprocontent020325&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1">from Benzinga Pro.</a>
The company has beaten analyst estimates for revenue in seven straight quarters.
Analysts expect the company to report fourth-quarter earnings per share of $2.13, up from $1.64 in last year's fourth quarter. The company has beaten analyst estimates for earnings per share in seven straight quarters.

What Analysts Are Saying: Recent strength in advertising for Meta Platforms could foreshadow strong advertising strength for Alphabet, Bank of America analyst Justin Post<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43396598/alphabet-shares-are-on-the-rise-today-whats-going-on"> recently said.</a>
The analyst, who has a Buy rating and $225 price target, said Alphabet should show positive commentary on cloud demand in the fourth-quarter results and commentary.
Post said Alphabet will likely show strength in search thanks to AI usage helping with monetization and YouTube could also benefit from improved AI targeting.
Potential negatives for Alphabet would be talking about tougher first-quarter advertising comps, slowing YouTube growth or new hiring/Capex commentary.
"We remain constructive on Alphabet and believe Street is likely underestimating potential for AIOs to drive Search monetization strength in 2025," Post said.
Here are other <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/GOOGL/analyst-ratings">analyst ratings for Alphabet </a>and their price targets:
<ul>
<li>JMP Securities: Reiterated Market Perform rating, no price target</li>
<li>Needham: Maintained Buy rating, increased price target from $210 to $225</li>
<li>DA Davidson: Maintained Neutral rating, increased price target from $190 to $200</li>
<li>Cantor Fitzgerald: Maintained Neutral rating, lowered price target from $215 to $210</li>
</ul>
Key Items to Watch: Alphabet likely won't comment on pending legislation, but could be asked about its current case with the Department of Justice and what the new White House administration means.
Alphabet<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/01/42898021/google-donates-1-million-to-trump-inauguration-plans-youtube-livestream-pleased-to-support"> donated $1 million</a> to Donald Trump's inauguration fund, an amount higher than the $285,000 donated to the 2016 and 2020 inaugurations. The company also live-streamed the inauguration on YouTube.
The donation comes as the company has been targeted by the Department of Justice for&nbsp;alleged monopolistic behavior&nbsp;and could be forced to break up and spin off assets such as the Chrome browser.
While there&#8217;s no certainty that a donation or a visit to Mar-a-Lago will sway the new administration or prevent such outcomes, changes to the DOJ's leadership could potentially shift the company's legal challenges.
Incoming Vice President&nbsp;J.D. Vance&nbsp;also previously said he&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/07/39826475/trumps-new-running-mate-j-d-vance-wants-to-break-up-google-could-2024-election-be-bad-for-big-te" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">wants to break up&nbsp;</a>Alphabet, which could make the company a target of the new administration.
Senator&nbsp;Ted Cruz&nbsp;(R-Texas) recently told Politico that Republicans would target Alphabet&#8217;s Google and YouTube content moderation policies on the search engine.
As mentioned by Post, AI could also be one of the key themes.
"Our commitment to innovation, as well as our long-term focus and investment in AI, are paying off with consumers and partners benefiting from our AI tools," Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai said after<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41611263/alphabet-q3-earnings-highlights-revenue-beat-eps-beat-google-cloud-up-35-momentum-across-the-compan"> third-quarter results.</a>
Pichai said at the time that Alphabet was winning larger deals and attracting new customers thanks to its AI solutions in the cloud. Investors and analysts would welcome an update on this and what the future holds for its cloud segment thanks to AI tools.
YouTube passed $50 billion in total ads and subscription revenues over the last four quarters for the first time, he said.
GOOGL Price Action: Alphabet stock closed Monday down 1.37% to $201.23 versus a 52-week trading range of $130.67 to $205.48. Alphabet stock is up 40% over the last year.

In 2024, approximately 11% of RYAM's total revenues were generated from Canadian Paperboard exports to the U.S. The Company has been proactively pursuing mitigation actions since late 2024 to partially offset these impacts. If the proposed 25% tariff on Canadian shipments to the U.S. is enacted, the Company would expect an impact of up to $3.5 million per month while in place.
Also, 2025 Cellulose Specialties average sales prices are projected to increase mid-single-digit percentage from 2024 levels, in line with RYAM's "value over volume" strategy. 2025 Cellulose Specialties sales volumes are expected to decline versus 2024 levels due to the indefinite suspension of the Temiscaming High Purity Cellulose plant; however, 2025 revenue is expected to be flat to 2024 levels.

<a href="https://investorplace.com">InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice &amp; Trading Tips</a>
Making millions through the stock market is only possible in a few ways. Investors need one of these three things: 



<ul><li>Massive sums of capital to begin with</li>



<li>Decades of time and more modest sums of capital</li>



<li>More modest sums of capital and a combination of risk and luck</li>
</ul>We will be talking about the latter today: seven stocks you can buy for $2 that can 10X by 2025. The standard caveat applies here, which says investors should only spend what they are willing to lose. 



Investing in sub-$2 stocks is very risky. Direct the majority of your capital toward more stable, conservative approaches. Direct much less capital to these riskier stocks that will require a combination of risk and luck.



All of the stocks discussed below cost less than $2 per share meaning $1,000 will get you at least 500 shares. Those 500 or more shares have the potential to appreciate in value above $10,000 by 2025.



<h2>Reliance Global (RELI)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/insurance-300x169.jpg" alt="Man in suit with hands over paper cutouts of family, car and home. Represents insurance."><div>Source: thodonal88 / Shutterstock.com</div></div>Reliance Global (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/reli-stock-quote/">RELI</a>) is a business group that acquires and manages retail insurance agencies in the United States. I chose to lead off the article with this stock specifically because it is not a pharma firm or another biotech stock. The purpose in doing so is not to say that <a href="https://investorplace.com/industries/healthcare/biotech/">biotech stocks</a> are bad. Instead, it is to show there are plenty of 10X <a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-types/penny-stocks/">penny stocks</a> outside of the biotech sector.



As I mentioned, there is a lot of risk in investing in shares of stocks trading at these levels. Investing in Reliance Global will be no different. The stock has lost roughly 95% of its value over the last 12 months. It currently trades for 25 cents per share. That should logically raise a lot of red flags for investors. However, there are reasons to believe that the company can rebound from here. 



Primarily, the company recently announced a definitive agreement to acquire Spetner Associates. The integration of Spetner Associates is expected to double Reliance Global&rsquo;s annual revenues to $28 million.&nbsp;



That news was <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2024/05/15/2882429/0/en/Reliance-Global-Group-Announces-Game-Changing-Acquisition-of-Spetner-Associates-Projected-to-Double-Company-s-Revenue.html">announced on May 15</a> and sent share prices drastically higher. The bet at this time is the integration of the new partner will again significantly increase revenues. Despite the obvious risk, that&rsquo;s the clear narrative behind investing in Reliance Global.



<h2>aTyr Pharma (LIFE)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/droplet-test-tube-biotech-1600-3-300x169.jpg" alt="Photo of test tubes and droplet with purple and reddish-orange sunset visual effect, representing biotech"><div>Source: shutterstock.com/Romix Image</div></div>aTyr Pharma (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/life-stock-quote/">LIFE</a>) is a biotech stock focused on the treatment of lung diseases that lead to fibrosis, or scarring of the lung tissue.



It appears to be among the better biotech stocks to bet on at this time. The company&rsquo;s lead candidate drug, Efzofitimod, has received FDA and EU orphan drug designation. That effectively fast tracks its development for the treatment of sarcoidosis and scleroderma.



The company also has a deal in place with Japan&rsquo;s Kyorin Pharmaceutical worth up to $175 million To develop and commercialize Efzofitimod in Japan. The company&rsquo;s pipeline of drugs extends beyond Efzofitimod with that drug being the clear catalyst overall.&nbsp;



LIFE shares currently trade for $1.76 and <a href="https://stockanalysis.com/stocks/life/forecast/">have a consensus target price above $25</a>.&nbsp;



The company continues to release <a href="https://investors.atyrpharma.com/news-releases/news-release-details/atyr-pharma-announces-second-positive-dsmb-review-efzofitimod">positive news about its lead candidate drug</a>. That is not the only good news surrounding aTyr Pharma. The company also announced inducement grants that allowed <a href="https://investors.atyrpharma.com/news-releases/news-release-details/atyr-pharma-announces-inducement-grants-under-nasdaq-listing-4">two employees to purchase 9,400 shares of stock at $1.86</a>. That suggests there is an immediate upside in LIFE stock at the moment.



<h2>BioLineRx (BLRX)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/biotechnology1600-300x169.png" alt="Biotechnology stocks, biomedical stocks"><div>Source: aslysun / Shutterstock.com</div></div>BioLineRx (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/blrx-stock-quote/">BLRX</a>) is a company attempting to commercialize therapeutics for the treatment of various cancers and rare diseases including sickle cell disease. The company&rsquo;s recent announcements around those projects deserve particular attention and make the stock attractive.



BioLineRx truly does look like a biotech stock that&rsquo;s about to move much higher. Interested investors should read this <a href="https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/biolinerx-reports-first-quarter-2024-financial-results-and-recent-corporate-and-portfolio-updates-302156149.html">recent portfolio update from May 28</a>. The company&rsquo;s FDA-approved multiple myeloma treatment, Aphexda, is growing steadily in its first full quarter of post-approval adoption.&nbsp;



The drug is quickly making its way into the network of transplant centers and is placed at 26% of all institutions in the U.S. currently. BioLineRx expects that number to rise to 35% by the end of the second quarter and could rise to 60% by the end of the year.



The biotech is currently running at a slight net loss of $0.7 million but benefits from continued progress in clinical trials relating to other diseases including sickle cell disease. In short, there seem to be multiple reasons to bet on BLRX stock at the moment.



<h2>Knightscope (KSCP)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/kscp1600-300x169.png" alt="Knightscope (KSCP) security robot patrols an outdoor parking lot"><div>Source: Michael Vi / Shutterstock.com</div></div>Knightscope (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/kscp-stock-quote/">KSCP</a>) stock represents a company that builds fully autonomous security robots. Honestly, its products look a bit like something out of a dystopian future movie from the &rsquo;90s. Despite that, Knightscope&rsquo;s progress makes it very interesting for investors.



The company hasn&rsquo;t released highly detailed financial statements but the most recent indication that we have is from March. That report <a href="https://ir.knightscope.com/news-releases/news-release-details/knightscope-2023-estimated-revenues-increase-128-128-million">showed revenues increased by 128% to $12.8 million </a>during 2023. The report also includes some images of the company&rsquo;s AI-enabled security robots that are a bit cyberpunk and Robocop.&nbsp;



The company released another report days later updating the company&rsquo;s financial position. It showed that the company&rsquo;s net loss narrowed from $25.6 million to $22.1 million in 2023. It also noted the company has 10,000 machines in its network across the United States and the company plans to reduce its payroll expense by 30% this year.



The company has since <a href="https://ir.knightscope.com/news-and-events/news">won multiple contracts and deployed multiple tranches </a>of robots.&nbsp;



<h2>Adial Pharmaceuticals (ADIL)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/biotech1600d-300x169.jpg" alt="Image of two scientists in lab coats studying results in a lab. best biotech stocks to buy"><div>Source: Shutterstock</div></div>Adial Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/adil-stock-quote/">ADIL</a>) is a company working to address addiction disorders that are quite rampant across society. The reason to believe in the stock lies in its lead candidate drug, AD04. That drug is intended to treat alcohol use disorder, opioid use disorder and a host of potential other drug dependencies.&nbsp;



The company has identified a range of genetic phenotypes that respond to AD04. Adial Pharmaceuticals estimates that represents a $40 billion opportunity in the U.S. alone.



The company also secured patent rights protecting the ability of that drug to target specific gene sequences relating to various drug dependency disorders.&nbsp;



The company is clearly very interesting for its positioning relative to various substance dependencies and their overall socioeconomic burden. However, potential investors should also be aware the company&rsquo;s&nbsp;current liquidity only covers the company through the first quarter of 2025. Regardless, substance disorder pharmaceutical firms are a rapidly growing sub-sector within the industry and Adial Pharmaceuticals could certainly emerge as a winner.&nbsp;

The company continues to build an ecosystem encompassing e-commerce and fintech worth understanding at least.



The <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2023/12/07/2792494/0/en/Society-Pass-Inc-Nasdaq-SOPA-Ascendiant-Capital-Issues-3Q-2023-Equity-Research-Update-3Q-Results-Show-Solid-Revenue-Growth-and-Maintains-Positive-Outlook-on-Growth-Prospects.html">most recent earnings report</a> from the third quarter of 2023 shows that revenues grew by 11%. Clearly, that&rsquo;s not the sort of outsized growth many seek from emerging market opportunities. Nevertheless, there are things to like about Society Pass. What I like is that the company has zero debt and $8 million in cash.&nbsp;&nbsp;



Despite a net loss of $3.9 million in the period, the company managed to report a modest gross profit of $600,000. The company also has a $40 million line of credit should that ultimately be necessary. That line of credit is an indication institutional investors see the overall opportunity represented by Society Pass. Much like Adial Pharmaceutical, Society Pass is interesting for operating within a high-growth sub-sector that may not get as much attention as it deserves.



<h2>Enviva (EVA)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="200" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/carbon-dioxide-1600-300x200.png" alt="Environmental pollution, environmental problem, smoke from the chimney of an industrial plant or thermal power plant against a cloudy sky"><div>Source: AYDO8 / Shutterstock.com</div></div>Investing in Enviva (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/eva-stock-quote/">EVA</a>) stock will appeal to green investors&nbsp;and industrial investors looking for turnaround opportunities. The company produces sustainable wood pellets intended to provide a low-carbon alternative to fossil fuels.



While the company has some interesting, promising catalysts, it is going through a transition as it attempts to affect a turnaround. The most recent earnings reports &mdash; from November 2023 &mdash; gets into those details.



Most of the report focused on the appointment of the company&rsquo;s previous CFO to an interim CEO position. He is essentially tasked with turning around deepening losses and righting the course for Enviva. The <a href="https://ir.envivabiomass.com/news/news-details/2023/Enviva-Reports-3Q-2023-Results/default.aspx">fundamentals tell the story of a company in trouble</a>. Revenues fell by a modest 1.3% in that report while net losses more than quadrupled to $85.2 million.&nbsp;



The company has <a href="https://d18rn0p25nwr6d.cloudfront.net/CIK-0001592057/5aee415d-4604-4366-a34d-18c777395a61.pdf">not filed any subsequent financial reports</a> since November. It&rsquo;s clearly at risk of bankruptcy and restructuring. My sense is that the company&rsquo;s shares will trend downward but they certainly do <a href="https://stockanalysis.com/stocks/eva/forecast/">have the potential to 10X</a> nonetheless.&nbsp;



On Penny Stocks and Low-Volume Stocks:&nbsp;With only the rarest exceptions,&nbsp;InvestorPlace does not publish commentary about companies that have a market cap of&nbsp;less than $100 million or trade less than 100,000 shares each day. That&rsquo;s because&nbsp;these &ldquo;penny stocks&rdquo; are frequently the playground for scam artists and market&nbsp;manipulators. If we ever do publish commentary on a low-volume stock that may be&nbsp;affected by our commentary, we demand that InvestorPlace.com&rsquo;s writers disclose this&nbsp;fact and warn readers of the risks.
