<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/02/44063062/thousands-face-longer-waits-as-social-security-offices-close-see-the-affected-locations">Martin O'Malley</a>, the former commissioner of the Social Security Administration, warns that Social Security payments could be at risk of disruption for the first time in the program's history. In an <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/why-social-securitys-former-head-is-worried-it-could-miss-payments-to-seniors-190352668.html">interview</a> with Yahoo Finance, O'Malley advised current beneficiaries to consider setting aside some extra money in case payments are delayed.
"If I were a beneficiary, I'd be setting aside some money right now," O'Malley said. His warning comes as the SSA faces significant staffing cuts and operational challenges under changes introduced by the Trump administration.

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Staffing Cuts and Leadership Changes at SSA</h2>
The SSA recently announced plans to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44153127/will-social-securitys-restructuring-impact-your-monthly-benefits-heres-what-to-know">reduce its workforce</a> to about 50,000 employees — down from about 57,000 today and 66,000 10 years ago — through cash buyouts and early retirement offers. The agency said these cuts would target "non-mission critical" positions, but O'Malley and other experts have raised concerns about how the reduction will affect the agency's ability to manage benefits and respond to system failures.
The Department of Government Efficiency, led by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44230403/elon-musk-blames-major-cyberattack-for-x-outage-hints-at-nation-backed-threat">Elon Musk</a> under the Trump administration, has been focused on cutting costs at federal agencies. According to <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/03/01/doge-actions-may-cause-social-security-benefit-interruption-ex-agency-head.html">CNBC</a>, the resulting staffing reductions have already caused disruptions, with two major IT outages affecting Social Security operations last year.
The SSA's computer systems, which run on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/02/43957909/social-security-in-uncertain-times-what-the-resignation-of-michelle-king-and-musks-doge-data-push-could-mean-for-beneficiaries-2">COBOL</a>, a decades-old programming language, require experienced staff to maintain them. Many of the agency's tech employees are approaching retirement age, raising fears that a loss of experienced personnel could increase the risk of system failures and payment delays.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Could Social Security Miss Payments?</h2>
Social Security has never missed a payment since the program began issuing monthly benefits over 80 years ago. However, O'Malley has said the current staffing cuts and IT challenges could lead to missed or delayed payments within the next 30 to 90 days.
"Ultimately, you're going to see the system collapse and an interruption of benefits," O'Malley told CNBC. He pointed out that SSA's outdated IT infrastructure requires regular updates to adjust for cost-of-living increases and other program changes — a process that depends heavily on experienced staff.
Marcela Escobar-Alava, the SSA's former chief information officer who resigned in January, echoed O'Malley's concerns. She said that even minor adjustments to benefit calculations require extensive testing to avoid system-wide failures. "Stuff will fail," she told Yahoo Finance. "And it's going to take time to recover. And, in some cases, if you don't have the talent, it may take days if not weeks."

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What Beneficiaries Should Know</h2>
If payment interruptions do occur, the impact could be significant. Social Security is a critical source of income for many Americans — about 21% of elderly recipients rely on the program for 90% or more of their household income, <a href="https://www2.census.gov/library/working-papers/2024/adrm/ces/CES-WP-24-32.pdf">according</a> to the U.S. Census Bureau.
Experts advise beneficiaries to prepare for potential delays by setting aside extra funds if possible. While Social Security payments are automated, changes to program rules or adjustments for cost-of-living increases require staff intervention. If staffing shortages delay these updates, it could disrupt payments.
Additionally, the SSA's ability to process new claims or respond to customer service inquiries may be affected. Processing times for disability applications, which currently average over six months, <a href="https://www.urban.org/urban-wire/downsizing-staff-will-make-it-harder-receive-social-security-payments">according</a> to the Urban Institute, could grow even longer under the staffing cuts.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Potential Long-Term Impacts</h2>
Nancy Altman, president of Social Security Works, a group that advocates for protecting Social Security, told Yahoo Finance that the planned staff reductions would "cripple" the agency's ability to function. She also expressed doubt that technological solutions like artificial intelligence could adequately replace human staff for tasks such as claim processing and customer service.
"The American public needs to understand that one of their major social safety nets is in dire jeopardy," Jill Hornick, an official at the American Federation of Government Employees union, told CNBC.
Despite these warnings, the SSA has not publicly addressed the risk of missed payments. However, O'Malley remains convinced that beneficiaries should prepare for potential delays. "I believe you will see that within the next 30 to 90 days," he said.

Dollar General Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DG#NYSE">DG</a>) is set to release its fourth-quarter financial results ahead of Thursday's opening bell. Here's a look at what to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/content/43900679/these-3-defensive-retail-stocks-are-outpacing-the-market">expect in the report. </a>

Investors will be watching the company's guidance and commentary for insight into the potential effects of tariffs on goods imported from China.

Increased costs could be passed on to consumers, potentially affecting future sales volumes. 
According to estimates from <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw">Benzinga Pro</a>, analysts expect the company to report quarterly earnings of $1.50 per share on revenue of $10.26 billion.

In a post on X, Cardone argued that tariffs are not a tax on consumers but rather an equalizer for global trade. His comments challenge the widely held belief that tariffs directly drive up prices for American consumers.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Cardone's View on Tariffs and Consumer Spending</h2>
In his <a href="https://x.com/GrantCardone/status/1897084964371628423">post</a> on X, Cardone wrote, "A tariff is NOT a consumer tax, it is an equalizer for global trade. Tariffs do not make goods and services more expensive — only the consumer can do that."

</ul>
Cardone shared his perspective during an interview with NBC's affiliate in San Jose, California, where he explained that tariffs only affect <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/02/43667632/inflation-rises-in-january-housing-costs-up-adding-to-consumers-2025-concerns">consumer costs</a> if people continue to purchase goods and services despite price increases. Using an example of a rubber duck imported from China, Cardone illustrated how tariffs could lead to higher prices — but only if consumers choose to continue buying the product.
"Well, just understand that the tariff is not imposed on you if you don&#8217;t buy the goods and services," Cardone told NBC. He said if China sends the U.S. a rubber duck that costs the consumer a dollar, they're going to buy it because it's inexpensive. But if Trump imposes a $99 tariff on that duck, raising the price for consumers, the consumer can choose not to buy it. "At which point somebody here would start building rubber ducks for a cheaper price."
Cardone also noted the imbalance in global trade policies, highlighting how U.S. exports often face steep tariffs abroad. He shared an example of Mercedes-Benz, which can ship cars to the U.S. without facing tariffs, while American vehicles like the Ford F-150 encounter high tariffs in European markets. Cardone argued that tariffs are a way to "level the playing field" in global trade.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Economists See Tariffs Differently</h2>
While Cardone presents tariffs as a tool to balance trade, many economists view them as harmful to the U.S. economy. According to CNBC, Moody's Chief Economist Mark Zandi described tariffs as a "lose-lose" for American jobs and industry.
"There are no winners here in the trade war we're seemingly being engulfed in," Zandi said.
The Trump administration has pursued broad <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/02/43427091/as-trump-imposes-tariffs-on-americas-3-largest-trading-partners-this-macro-strategist-calls-the-policy-a-tool-to-transition-us-to-a-more-sustainable-future-amid-grotesque-money-printing">tariffs on trading partners</a>, including China, Canada, and Mexico, aiming to protect domestic industries. However, economists argue that tariffs increase production costs, which can lead to higher consumer prices and job losses in sectors that rely on imported materials.
Lydia Cox, an assistant economics professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, <a href="https://economics.princeton.edu/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/cox_steel_20220601.pdf">wrote</a> that tariffs have "collateral damage" beyond their intended targets. For example, steel tariffs imposed during Trump's first term raised domestic steel prices by about 2% but also increased costs for industries that rely on steel, such as automobile manufacturing and construction.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Bigger Economic Picture</h2>
The broader <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/trumps-tarrifs-impact-on-us-dollar-and-currency-trading">impact of tariffs on the U.S. economy</a> remains mixed. While some targeted industries, such as steel production, have benefited from protectionist policies, other sectors have faced higher costs and retaliatory tariffs from trading partners.
Cardone's argument suggests that consumer behavior plays a key role in the outcome of tariff policies. If consumers shift their spending habits or domestic producers step in to replace imported goods, tariffs could create opportunities for U.S.-based businesses.
However, economists caution that the long-term effects of tariffs — including potential trade wars and increased production costs — may outweigh any short-term benefits.
Cardone's take challenges the conventional wisdom on tariffs, sparking a broader conversation about how global trade policies and consumer choices intersect in shaping the economy.

Steaming giant Netflix Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) could add another sports league to its growing lineup of sports content that includes NFL games, women's soccer and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/24/12/42628116/netflix-adds-womens-world-cup-media-rights-from-football-to-futbol-streamer-all-in-on-live-sports">World Wrestling Entertainment.</a>
What Happened: Netflix <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/24/12/42492251/netflix-ceo-says-paul-tyson-fight-really-phenomenal-strong-demand-for-nfl-game-advertising">saw huge demand </a>with a boxing card featuring Mike Tyson and Jake Paul last year and for its first-ever NFL games on Christmas Day.
In January, Netflix <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/01/42827316/netflix-brings-wwe-monday-night-raw-to-streaming-starting-january-6">added WWE matches </a>to its content of live sports.
Another sport could be in the mix with Netflix among the interested media outlets in getting the rights to UFC fights, which like WWE is also owned by TKO Group Holdings (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TKO#NYSE">TKO</a>).
UFC has had an exclusive rights deal with ESPN, a unit of Walt Disney Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>), since 2019.
Disney has an exclusive negotiating window with the UFC through April for the rights that kick in after the 2025 year. With the UFC looking for around double what ESPN is currently paying and recent technical issues for a UFC fight, the negotiating window could turn tense and leave things open for other interested parties.
Sources said that UFC management, including Dana White, were not happy with ESPN's handling of UFC 313 which suffered from streaming issues, as <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/03/09/sports/tko-brass-furious-with-espn-after-ufc-313-streaming-issues/">reported </a>by the New York Post.
The UFC is looking for $1 billion or more annually in a new rights deal according to a report from <a href="https://www.sportspro.com/news/ufc-broadcast-media-rights-espn-amazon-netflix-wbd-tko-january-2025/">SportsPro</a>.
Along with Disney's interest in renewing the rights, other interested parties named in the report include Netflix, Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) and Warner Bros. Discovery (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WBD#NASDAQ">WBD</a>).

Why It's Important: With ESPN potentially out of the picture, Netflix could emerge as a favorite given its strong showing of the boxing match last year and its deal with TKO-owned WWE.
While the Paul and Tyson fight also saw technical glitches, the number of people watching and Netflix's fix were viewed as positives for the overall demand and strength of Netflix's platform.
The UFC remains a powerhouse with pay-per-view and streaming exclusive fights on ESPN+. Netflix would likely get rights to offer some fights for free to its existing streaming subscribers while other fights would remain pay-per-view only.
Netflix also recently announced that it will stream a rematch of a boxing match between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano, which was part of the Tyson and Paul boxing card. A unanimous decision win for Taylor proved to be controversial in what Netflix called the "most-watched professional women's sports even in U.S. history."
The third match between the two boxers will stream live on Netflix on July 11, as reported by <a href="https://variety.com/2025/tv/news/katie-taylor-amanda-serrano-rematch-netflix-last-year-controversial-bout-1236328982/">Variety</a>. Netflix said the fight taking place at Madison Square Garden will be an all-women boxing card and stream for free to existing Netflix subscribers worldwide.
With or without the UFC, Netflix continues to be mentioned as a potential bidder on many sports rights and continues to add to its library of live and library sports content, a move that could boost subscribers and help with churn.
Price Action: TKO Group Holdings stock trades at $147.27 versus a 52-week trading range of $79.32 to $179.09. The stock is up 3.2% year-to-date in 2025 and up 81.2% over the last year.
Netflix stock trades at $919.68 versus a 52-week trading range of $542.01 to $1,064.50. The stock is up 3.7% year-to-date in 2025 and up 50.5% over the last year.

GOOGL REVERSES EARLY WEAKNESS AFTER SIGNAL FROM TRADEPULSE

<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" src="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/12211037/Screenshot-2025-03-12-at-5.06.38%E2%80%AFPM-992x1024.png" alt="" class="wp-image-7782" /></figure>
Alphabet, Inc. (GOOGL) today experienced a Power Inflow, a significant event for those who follow where smart money goes and value order flow analytics in their trading decisions. 
Today, at 10:16 AM on March 12th, a significant trading signal occurred for Alphabet, Inc. (GOOGL) as it demonstrated a Power Inflow at a price of $164.60. This indicator is crucial for traders who want to know directionally where institutions and so-called "smart money" moves in the market. They see the value of utilizing order flow analytics to guide their trading decisions. The Power Inflow points to a possible uptrend in Alphabet&#8217;s stock, marking a potential entry point for traders looking to capitalize on the expected upward movement. Traders with this signal closely watch for sustained momentum in Alphabet&#8217;s stock price, interpreting this event as a bullish sign.
Signal description
Order flow analytics, aka transaction or market flow analysis, separate and study both the retail and institutional volume rate of orders (flow). It involves analyzing the flow of buy and sell orders, along with size, timing, and other associated characteristics and patterns, to gain insights and make more informed trading decisions. This particular indicator is interpreted as a bullish signal by active traders.&nbsp;
The Power Inflow occurs within the first two hours of the market open and generally signals the trend that helps gauge the stock&#8217;s overall direction, powered by institutional activity in the stock, for the remainder of the day.&nbsp;
By incorporating order flow analytics into their trading strategies, market participants can better interpret market conditions, identify trading opportunities, and potentially improve their trading performance. But let's not forget that while watching smart money flow can provide valuable insights, it is crucial to incorporate effective risk management strategies to protect capital and mitigate potential losses. Employing a consistent and effective risk management plan helps traders navigate the uncertainties of the market in a more controlled and calculated manner, increasing the likelihood of long-term success

While economic concerns triggered by President Donald Trump's tariffs represent one of the biggest sources for global headlines, the precious metals sector has been a cynical beneficiary. As anxieties have risen, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43710503/bank-of-america-sees-gold-hitting-3500-as-demand-surges-on-increased-policy-tensions">demand for gold has skyrocketed</a>, potentially boding well for the mining complex. Intriguingly, despite earlier choppiness, resource producer Barrick Gold Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOLD#NYSE">GOLD</a>) appears to be signaling an imminent breakout move.
Fundamentally, bullishness toward GOLD stock makes plenty of sense. Historically, the underlying precious metal has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/is-gold-a-good-investment">performed well as a safe-haven asset</a>, absorbing capital from investors seeking wealth protection or stability. Right now, gold demand is simply on fire, with major banks <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44191311/gold-is-on-fire-demand-is-so-high-that-dealers-are-importing-gold-bars-from-abroad-on-commercial-jet">buying bullion bars abroad</a> and transporting them back home via commercial jets.
It's not just affluent individual customers that are contributing to the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/02/43512109/gold-extends-records-as-central-banks-rush-to-buy-bullion-miners-eye-sixth-straight-winning-week">modern-day gold rush</a>. Earlier this year, the World Gold Council reported that total gold demand — which includes central banks — set fresh records. Further, with key inflation data coming in lower than expected, the Federal Reserve theoretically has a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/03/44274165/inflation-cools-more-than-expected-in-february-strengthens-the-case-for-fed-rate-cuts">path toward interest rate cuts</a>. Such a dynamic could also be net bullish for the metal.
To be fair, while gold has soared to blistering heights, the mining complex has lagged the asset, largely due to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/02/43618203/gold-nears-3000-but-miners-struggle-as-rising-costs-squeeze-profits">rising costs squeezing profitability</a>. Nevertheless, as the metal continues to march higher due to the fear trade, the pressure on the bottom line may ease. If so, GOLD stock appears to be a compelling idea, both as a near-term transaction and a longer-term investment.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Speculators Could Front Run a Breakout in GOLD Stock</h2>
Perhaps the most compelling argument for future upside in GOLD stock isn't in the fundamental narrative but rather the technical. At this juncture, the equity appears to be charting a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/stock-chart-patterns">bullish pennant formation</a>.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="592" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/12145747/GOLD-stock-bullish-pennant-1024x592.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-821585" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/12145747/GOLD-stock-bullish-pennant-1024x592.jpg 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/12145747/GOLD-stock-bullish-pennant-300x174.jpg 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/12145747/GOLD-stock-bullish-pennant-768x444.jpg 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/12145747/GOLD-stock-bullish-pennant.jpg 1032w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Image by TradingView</figcaption></figure>
Somewhat resembling a sideways triangle pointing to the right, a bullish pennant is a three-phase pattern, featuring an initial rally, a subsequent consolidation (which forms the iconic pennant shape) and the eventual breakout move. In the case of GOLD stock, the first phase appears to have materialized in late January. It also appears that the security is in the final section of the second phase just prior to a possible breakout.
Now, what makes the pennant in GOLD stock so enticing is the volume. Under a classic pennant formation, volume rises in conjunction with the stock price during the initial rally. In the consolidation phase, the volume fades. That's exactly what's on the chart as of this writing.
Of course, there's no guarantee as to what might happen next. Still, with the combination of compelling fundamental catalysts and a strong technical setup, GOLD stock certainly should be on the radar.
On a final note, GOLD stock as a baseline carries a largely neutral bias. Using pricing data over the past six years, a long position held for any eight-week period has a 50/50 chance of being profitable. However, during those eight weeks, the median positive return is 11.29% while the median negative return is 8.91%. Therefore, the bulls tend to have a slight edge in the risk-reward department.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/12145814/GOLD-stock-probability-gambit-1024x576.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-821586" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/12145814/GOLD-stock-probability-gambit-1024x576.jpg 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/12145814/GOLD-stock-probability-gambit-300x169.jpg 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/12145814/GOLD-stock-probability-gambit-768x432.jpg 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/12145814/GOLD-stock-probability-gambit.jpg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Image by author</figcaption></figure>
Under circumstances of modest upside (weekly returns up to 5%), a long position over eight weeks also carries a 50/50 success ratio. However, bullish sentiment tends to be pushed forward, with long odds peaking at nearly 61% in the third week following a modest upside.
Considering that GOLD stock has been steadily marching higher since late February, this framework also adds to the equity's speculative appeal.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Charting a Bullish Strategy for Barrick Gold</h2>
While the storyline surrounding Barrick Gold is arguably attractive, it all comes down to practicality. Attempting to front-run a technical pattern is challenging because it's a matter of good old-fashioned guesswork.
That said, one basic approach is to consider buying a call option straight up. Specifically, speculators may be interested in the $20 call expiring June 20 of this year. At the time of writing, the premium (ask) for this derivative is 81 cents (or $81 when applying the 100-share option multiplier). This means 81 cents needs to be added to the current share price for the trade to break even or about $19.25.
Given the implications of the bullish pennant formation, GOLD stock may aim for the prior high in October last year, which was just above $21.
Another riskier trade is to utilize the leverage of options and buy a bull call spread for the options chain expiring April 11. The highest-reward trade available that still makes rational sense based on statistical data is arguably the 18.50/19.50 bull spread.
The above transaction requires GOLD stock to be at or above the $19.50 short call strike at expiration. Should the bullish pennant materialize as speculated, this could be a very lucrative transaction, considering its maximum payout of almost 133%.
