Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) says the biggest threat to U.S. capitalism isn't foreign competition but "three Wall Street investment firms," he claims, now dominate corporate America.
What Happened: "It's not only income and wealth inequality that bothers me, it's concentration of ownership," Sanders told Joe Rogan in a recent sit-down.
&#8220;In virtually every sector … you got a handful of giant multinationals controlling that sector." He urged listeners to &#8220;check it out on Google," adding that the trio of asset-management giants &#8220;combined are the major stockholders of 95% of American corporations.&#8221;

"That's power," he exclaimed.
Academic studies back part but not all of Sanders' claim. Research by economists Jan Fichtner and others <a href="https://business.gmu.edu/news/2025-02/power-passive-investors-double-edged-sword">finds</a> the "Big Three" are the largest single shareholders in about 40% of all U.S.–listed companies and 88% of the S&amp;P 500. Other analysts put their combined stake at nearly 20% of total U.S. market capitalization, not 95%.

Sanders argues concentrated shareholding lets a handful of executives steer wages, prices and even politics. "They are now owned by Wall Street firms," he said, contrasting today's dispersed retail ownership with the era when "somebody actually owned General Motors."
Why It Matters: Sanders, during the course of the same podcast, also told Joe Rogan that his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46106134/bernie-sanders-shares-first-thing-he-would-do-as-president-and-it-could-be-a-jab-at-elon-musk">top presidential priority</a> would be campaign-finance reform. He wants public funding to replace "billionaires" bankrolling elections, which he says "rejects the will of the American people."
Rogan and Sanders also attacked the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/financial-advisors/25/06/46109126/the-minimum-wage-in-this-country-is-ridiculous-says-joe-rogan-asks-how-do-you-live-off-7">$7.25 federal minimum wage</a>, calling it impossible to live on; Sanders noted he is fighting to raise it to $17 an hour. Rogan illustrated the problem with a $25 sandwich that would cost a minimum-wage worker 3½ hours of labor.
Both men argued that technology's gains have bypassed workers, with Sanders pointing out real wages trail those of 52 years ago despite soaring productivity. To spread the benefits of automation and AI, Sanders champions his "Thirty-Two Hour Workweek Act," <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46089330/bernie-sanders-slams-job-cuts-says-ai-should-give-workers-more-time-off-instead-of-throwing-you-out-on-the-street">trimming the workweek</a> without cutting pay so people gain time for family, learning and purpose.

Bernie Sanders Warns Of 'Concentration of Ownership' In US Companies: 'That's Power'

On Monday, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent responded to a question on whether he was willing to replace Jerome Powell as Federal Reserve chair.
What Happened: &#8220;I will do what the President wants,&#8221; Bessent said in an interview with Bloomberg TV on Monday, when asked about the likelihood of him heading the Central Bank after Powell&#8217;s term ends in May 2026.
He said, &#8220;I think I have the best job in D.C.,&#8221; pointing to the ongoing momentum within his department surrounding tax cuts, trade deals and major economic policies, while acknowledging that the administration was actively weighing options for Powell&#8217;s replacement.

According to Bessent, an announcement on this could come as early as October or November, while he also highlights an upcoming vacancy on the Federal Reserve Board in January, suggesting that it could play into the succession plan.
&#8220;There's a seat opening up, a 14-year seat opening up in January,&#8221; Bessent said. &#8220;So we've given thought to the idea that perhaps that person would go on to become the chair when Jay Powell leaves in May.&#8221;
When asked about the appointment of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/macro-economic-events/25/06/46131630/trump-appointing-a-shadow-chair-at-the-fed-has-put-dollar-under-pressure-meanwhile-china-is-dumping-the-greenback-and-hoarding-gold">a &#8220;Shadow Chair&#8221;</a> ahead of Powell&#8217;s departure, Bessent played down the concerns, replying, &#8220;Not necessarily. We&#8217;ll see.&#8221;
Why It Matters: Tensions have been flaring between Trump and Powell for the past several months, leading to growing concerns regarding <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44999600/feds-independence-could-disappear-in-a-week-says-economist-ken-rogoff-as-trump-thinks-hes-smarter-th">the Fed&#8217;s independence</a>.
Early this week, Trump once again called Powell a &#8220;stupid person&#8221; and &#8220;a bad person&#8221; for keeping interest rates &#8220;artificially high,&#8221; while arguing that the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46165110/donald-trump-calls-fed-chair-jerome-powell-a-bad-person-who-keeps-rates-artificially-high-says-benchmark-should-drop-by-half">benchmarks should drop</a> to &#8220;1% or 2%.&#8221;
Trump further proposed a &#8220;bills over bonds&#8221; approach to dealing with the high interest rates on long-term debt, which involves the Treasury issuing more short-term debt at low interest rates, over longer duration bonds. 
This received quick <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46163670/trumps-bills-over-bonds-strategy-can-spell-doom-for-the-dollar-warns-craig-shapiro-got-gold-bitcoin">pushback from macro experts</a> such as Craig Shapiro, who say that such a move could spell doom for the U.S. Dollar.
Economist Nouriel Roubini has criticized Trump&#8217;s <a href="https://benzinga.com/25/04/44941184/roubini-trump-wants-a-rate-cutbut-powells-restraint-is-the-only-thing-saving-him-from-a-market-meltdown?_gl=1&#x2A;1yhww1y&#x2A;_gcl_au&#x2A;OTU0MzA1MzE4LjE3NDcwMTIxNDM.&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;ZGVsZXRlZA..&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;czE3NTEzMzUyMTUkbzI3MyRnMSR0MTc1MTMzNTkzNiRqMTEkbDAkaDA.">attacks against Powell</a>, calling it &#8220;a repeated own goal,&#8221; since even if he got his way, it would only lead to higher bond yields, owing to the &#8220;de-anchoring of inflation expectations.&#8221;
Price Action: The 10-Year Treasury notes trade at 4.216%, the 30-Year at 4.759%, and the 2-Year at 3.721%. The U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) continues to test newer lows, trading at 96.774, down 11.57% since the beginning of Trump&#8217;s second term.

Scott Bessent On Replacing Powell As Fed Chair: 'I Will Do What The President Wants' — Plays Down Shadow Chair Speculations

On Monday, Jesus "Jay" Malave was officially announced as Boeing Co.&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/46182764/boeing-announces-cfo-transition-shares-volatile-after-hours">incoming Chief Financial Officer</a>, succeeding Brian West.
With an impressive background in finance and leadership across major aerospace and defense companies, Malave brings a wealth of experience to the aerospace giant.
Here are some key facts about the man now overseeing Boeing&#8217;s financial strategy.
Background
Malave was born to Puerto Rican immigrants in Hartford, Connecticut. His father served as a U.S. Postal Service supervisor and his mother worked as a nutritionist at a local hospital. Growing up in Newington, a small town with a blend of blue-collar and white-collar families, Malave <a href="https://www.ctinsider.com/business/article/CT-native-leads-finances-for-Lockheed-Martin-17457260.php">shared</a> with CT Insider in 2022 that he developed a strong appreciation for diversity and hard work from an early age.

Personal Life
After graduating, Malave met his future wife, Janine, that summer as she was pursuing a career in education. Janine would later become a teacher and department head at Maloney High School in Meriden. The couple married in 1994 in Windsor, where Janine grew up.
Education
Malave attended the University of Connecticut, where he started with engineering but later switched to mathematics, earning his Bachelor&#8217;s degree in 1991. He furthered his education with a Master's in Accounting from the University of Hartford, later adding a Juris Doctor degree from the University of Connecticut School of Law.

Professional Life
Malave's career began with the U.S. Department of Labor, where he investigated Equal Employment Opportunity cases. At the time, United Technologies owned major companies like Pratt &amp; Whitney, Sikorsky, Hamilton Standard, Carrier and Otis.
Malave told the publication that after noticing his work at the Department of Labor, UTC approached him with a human resources position, offering the chance to transition into accounting or finance after a year. Pratt &amp; Whitney quickly presented him with an entry-level job handling expenses and cash. He worked his way up, eventually becoming CFO of UTC Aerospace Systems.
His next big leap came when he joined L3Harris Technologies in July 2019 and later Lockheed Martin in January 2022. In both companies, he held the role of chief financial officer.
In addition to his extensive executive roles across major aerospace and defense companies, Malave also serves on the Board of Directors for GE Vernova
Now Boeing
On Aug. 15, 2025, Malave will transition to Boeing as the company&#8217;s new CFO. Malave takes the reins at a time when Boeing is navigating global challenges and seeking to strengthen its position in the aerospace market.
The news of his appointment followed a 2.34% drop in Boeing's shares during Monday's regular trading session, after reports surfaced that U.K. antitrust authorities have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/46180869/whats-going-on-with-boeing-shares-today-5">officially opened an investigation</a> into the company's proposed $4.7 billion takeover of fuselage manufacturer Spirit AeroSystems.
Benzinga's Edge Stock Rankings indicate that Boeing shares remain on an upward trajectory across short, medium and long-term timeframes. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">More in-depth performance details are available here</a>.

Robinhood, Apple, Oracle, Plug Power And Tesla: Why These 5 Stocks Are On Investors' Radars Today

Macro strategist Raoul Pal commended Robinhood Markets&#8216; (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HOOD#NASDAQ">HOOD</a>) decision to launch tokenized stock offerings on Monday, describing it as &#8220;democratization of finance.&#8221;
What happened: In an X post, Pal was reacting to a video of Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev introducing the so-called "stock tokens," which will allow users in Europe to gain exposure to U.S. private companies such as SpaceX and OpenAI.
"The end of public vs. private markets is beginning. Capital formation too is more efficient in crypto markets. Lending markets too," Pal said.&nbsp;
The former Goldman Sachs executive deemed it as &#8220;democratization of finance&#8221; and predicted that the trend would only accelerate from here.

Raoul Pal Says Robinhood Letting Users Trade OpenAI, SpaceX Through Blockchain Is 'Democratization Of Finance' — End Of Public Vs Private Markets Has Begun

On Monday, Cathie Wood&#8217;s Ark Invest executed significant portfolio adjustments, prominently acquiring shares of Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) while reducing positions in Coinbase Global Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>).
The AMD Trade Ark purchased 356,275 AMD shares across Ark Fintech Innovation ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKF#BATS">ARKF</a>), ARK Innovation ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKK#BATS">ARKK</a>), and ARK Next Generation Internet ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKW#BATS">ARKW</a>) funds, reinforcing confidence in the chipmaker&#8217;s positioning within the AI infrastructure race. For the day, AMD stock closed at $141.90, making the transactions worth $50.55 million.
This follows AMD&#8217;s recent volatility as it navigates supply-chain dynamics and intensifying competition in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/46102073/whats-going-on-with-amd-shares-today">accelerated computing markets</a>. Recently, the chipmaker announced a new collaboration with HCLTech. The two companies intend to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/46102073/whats-going-on-with-amd-shares-today">set up joint innovation labs</a> dedicated to advancing solutions in AI, digital infrastructure, and cloud computing. The Coinbase Trade
Ark sold 124,892 Coinbase shares across ARKK, ARKW and ARKF ETFs despite Bernstein&#8217;s recent $510 price target and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/06/46112072/coinbase-is-the-amazon-of-crypto-services-price-target-boosted-to-510-bernstein">&#8220;Amazon of crypto&#8221; endorsement</a>. On Monday, Coinbase stock ended the day at $350.49. The sale by ARK was valued at $43.77 million.
The reduction coincides with Wood&#8217;s observation that Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) investors <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/06/46161157/bitcoin-investors-faced-mortgage-hurdles-due-to-crypto-tied-assets-says-cathie-wood-wont-be-surprised-if-they-were-to-shift-some-of-their-btc-to-coinbase">face mortgage hurdles</a> with crypto-backed assets, potentially driving capital toward regulated exchanges like Coinbase.

Cathie Wood's Monday Moves: Loads Up On AMD Stock, Lightens Coinbase Crypto Bet

Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) CEO Mark Zuckerberg once shared his bold vision, indicating that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44599475/meta-is-planning-to-drop-1000-smart-glasses-to-disrupt-apples-ar-ambitions-report">virtual and augmented reality</a> would one day replace mobile phones as the dominant computing platform. Now, nearly a decade later, how close is Meta to achieving that future?
What Happened: In a 2015 interview at the Vanity Fair New Establishment Summit, Zuckerberg, after Facebook&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/22/05/27485415/4-largest-acquisitions-by-facebook-oculus-instagram-and-more">over $2 billion acquisition</a> of Oculus.
When asked why he decided to buy the company, Zuckerberg said, &#8220;Every 10 or 15 years, there's a new computer platform that comes along," referring to mainframes, PCs, the web, mobile and then the virtual and augmented reality.
He described the transition from traditional computing systems, where users needed a degree to operate them, to the more user-friendly and natural mobile platform.

However, Zuckerberg believed mobile devices, while revolutionary, are not the ultimate endpoint. The future, according to him, lies in the next major computing platform: one that integrates directly with vision.
The Meta CEO stressed that the future of technology would be about capturing real-life moments in a "more natural" and immersive way, such as sharing experiences with loved ones through virtual reality rather than traditional still photos or 2D videos.

Why It's Important: A decade after Zuckerberg's initial prediction, Meta's investment in virtual and augmented reality, particularly through its Oculus headsets (now branded Meta Quest), has been a central focus of the company's strategy.
However, despite substantial investments, Meta still <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/10/35477023/after-lower-sales-of-quest-2-led-to-loss-at-reality-labs-meta-reportedly-cuts-quest-3-shipment-forec">faces significant hurdles</a> in delivering on this &#8220;more natural&#8221; computing experience. In fact, it is widely believed that the tech giant sells Quest headsets at a loss, <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2024/04/04/facebooks-oculus-acquisition-turns-10/">according</a> to TechCrunch.
In January, Meta discontinued its $999 Quest Pro headset after it <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42842141/meta-discontinues-999-quest-pro-shifts-focus-to-affordable-quest-3">failed to gain traction</a>, and now redirects customers to the more affordable Meta Quest 3, which sells for $499.99.
At the same time, in October 2024, it was reported that Ray-Ban and Meta's smart glasses became the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41458752/metas-smart-glasses-dominate-ray-ban-stores-ai-features-still-missing">top-selling product in 60%</a> of Ray-Ban stores across Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA).
The current Meta Ray-Ban smart glasses don't include a built-in display — instead, they offer voice commands, a camera, and speakers for calls and media playback. However, reports have emerged that Meta is working on a third-generation version that could feature an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42659936/meta-plans-display-equipped-ray-ban-glasses-by-2025-aiming-to-replace-smartphones">integrated visual display</a>.
Last year, Meta also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41032461/meta-unveils-new-ai-features-quest-3s-llama-3-2-holographic-orion-glasses-at-connect-2024-we-are-get">showcased its prototype</a> Orion AR headset, designed to blend digital elements seamlessly into the real world. Meta also launched the $299 Quest 3S, marketing it as an affordable option for gaming, workouts and watching movies in VR.
In its latest <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/04/45117948/meta-q1-earnings-eps-beat-revenue-up-16-ai-approaches-1-billion-monthly-actives-capital-expenditures-forecast-raised">first-quarter earnings</a> report, the company revealed that Reality Labs, its division responsible for products like the Quest VR headsets and Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses, generated $412 million in revenue, slightly down from $440 million in the same period in 2024.
Despite this revenue, the segment continued to operate at a significant loss, reporting an operating loss of $4.2 billion in the first quarter, which widened from a loss of $3.8 billion a year earlier.
Meanwhile, other major players are pushing into the same space. Apple Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) Vision Pro, which hit the U.S. market in February 2024 with a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/gaming/24/10/41499682/apple-to-cut-vision-pro-production-cheaper-model-expected-in-2025-report">hefty starting price</a> of $3,499. Alphabet Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Google and Samsung Electronics Co. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SSNLF#OTC">SSNLF</a>) have also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/01/43168435/google-taps-htcs-talent-in-250-million-deal-to-lead-ar-vr-innovation">teamed up on a mixed-reality headset</a> called Project Moohan.
Benzinga&#8217;s Edge Stock Rankings indicate that Meta's shares continue to trend upward over the short, medium and long term. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">More detailed performance insights can be found here</a>.

Mark Zuckerberg Once Predicted That This Technology Would Replace Your Phone — A Decade Later, How Far Is Meta From Delivering On A 'More Natural' Future

Women are poised to hold a significantly larger share of global wealth in the coming years, with notable differences in how they manage and grow their financial assets compared to men.
According to a McKinsey <a href="https://www.mckinsey.com/industries/financial-services/our-insights/the-new-face-of-wealth-the-rise-of-the-female-investor">report</a> published in May, women currently control about one-third of all retail financial assets in the U.S. and the European Union. That figure is projected to rise to between 40% and 45% by 2030. The analysis is based on a survey of approximately 13,000 U.S. and European investors, nearly half of whom were women.

</ul>
Between 2018 and 2023, global wealth increased by 43%, while the share held by women rose by 51% during the same period, according to the report. The report attributes the trend to several factors, including declining marriage rates, rising average incomes for women, longer life expectancies, and shifting financial attitudes.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Different Approach to Risk</h2>
Women tend to approach investing with more caution than men, according to experts cited by <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/women-rising-wealth-investment-style-men-female-investors-risk-emotion-2025-6">Business Insider</a>. Anna-Sophie Hartvigsen, co-founder of financial education platform Female Invest, said women are "much more risk-aware" and less likely to act on emotional impulses when trading.
"On average, men trade a lot more often than women because they believe they can beat the market or they read something in the news," Hartvigsen told Business Insider. She added that women investors are generally more realistic in their self-assessments and exhibit greater consistency.
While cautious investing can help manage volatility, Katie Geery, an advisor at Rise Private Wealth Management, said that it can also limit exposure to higher-return opportunities. Geery advised working with financial advisors who understand risk tolerance and can guide clients toward well-informed investment decisions.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Investing With Purpose</h2>
Women investors are also more likely to focus on specific outcomes rather than maximizing returns, according to the report. Avanti Shetye, a financial planner at Wealthwyzr, told Business Insider that women often invest with goals in mind, such as family planning or retirement security.
Geery noted that women are often more inclined toward values-based investing, incorporating factors such as philanthropy and environmental or social concerns into their portfolios. "Women often seek financial advisors who are empathetic and take the time to get to know them on a more personal level," Geery said.
Hartvigsen said Female Invest members prioritize factors like a company's carbon footprint and board gender balance, often using climate impact and leadership diversity as key criteria when evaluating investments.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Emphasizing Long-Term Planning</h2>
Starting early remains a key recommendation for women looking to secure long-term financial health. Shetye told Business Insider that women are more likely to take time off work for caregiving responsibilities and live longer on average, both of which increase the need for early and consistent investment.
Hartvigsen echoed that view, recommending systematic monthly investing and diversification. "If you do that, historically, it has been near impossible not to make money in the long run," she said.
Both Shetye and Hartvigsen emphasized the importance of working with financial planners who prioritize education and build strategies based on individual goals.
"You are never going to know everything there is to know about investing," Shetye told Business Insider. "The key is consistency, and time will do the heavy lifting."

$100 Invested In Vertex Pharmaceuticals 10 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

You've probably <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTjTj7uMu/">seen the viral TikTok</a>: a Pennsylvania couple cozied up inside a 12-by-12 climate-controlled storage unit, complete with a loveseat, bookshelf, and dreams of saving for an RV. "I live in a storage unit because it's cheap in comparison to an apartment," said content creator Leland Brown Jr. as he gave a full tour — music, naps, bathroom breaks, the works.
It wasn't just content. It was survival masked as strategy.
But the exposure backfired. Brown and his girlfriend were promptly kicked out. A local woman helped them secure a hotel room — briefly — before they found themselves without shelter again, stranded after their tent was destroyed in a snowstorm. "We just don't know what to expect in the next couple of months," Brown said. The storage unit may have been illegal, but for a while, it was home.

</ul>
That story recently resurfaced on Reddit — not in the context of desperation, but as a thought experiment. A Redditor in the <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/leanfire/comments/19ccjx8/have_you_ever_heard_about_living_in_a_storage_unit/?utm_source=share&amp;utm_medium=mweb3x&amp;utm_name=mweb3xcss&amp;utm_term=1&amp;utm_content=share_button">Lean FIRE community</a>, which stands for Financial Independence, Retire Early, posted:&nbsp;
"We <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/04/45027946/reddit-dissects-ramit-sethis-beef-with-the-fire-movement-frugal-fire-can-make-you-miserable">often talk about extreme frugality</a> and creative ways to save money on our path to financial independence and early retirement," the original post began, before asking if anyone had ever heard of someone living in a storage unit to cut costs.
They referenced Brown's video as a jumping-off point, and while they acknowledged the setup was illegal and not exactly safe, they wondered if others had done it voluntarily to supercharge savings.
One person said they thought about doing it in the early '90s after spotting a storage unit across from a gym. The logic: shower at the gym, sleep at the unit. But they backed off, fearing what would happen if they got caught. Another commenter mentioned a friend who did try it — and developed permanent health issues after mold grew inside the leaky unit. Someone else said they built a camper van instead and now invest 92% of their income, while others debated whether a van or a storage unit was the more livable option. Spoiler: the van won by a landslide.

And yet, the Lean FIRE crowd had one thing the next group didn't — a choice.
Over in a <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/homeless/comments/1gqopor/living_in_a_storage_unit/?utm_source=share&amp;utm_medium=mweb3x&amp;utm_name=mweb3xcss&amp;utm_term=1&amp;utm_content=share_button">separate homeless subreddit</a>, the same topic came up, but the tone was strikingly different. One 25-year-old woman, who had <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/topics/25/06/45726929/shaqs-dad-once-showed-him-a-homeless-family-and-said-im-tired-of-you-spoiled-rich-athletes-who-dont-perform-and-blame-it-on-pressure">recently lived in her car</a>, wondered aloud if storage unit living was a viable fallback. Her unit was under $100 a month, had no cameras or ceilings, and barely saw any foot traffic. She figured she could climb over the wall at night, pull her ladder up, and stay hidden. "With some supplies and a ladder to get in undetected, it seems feasible," she wrote.
Another commenter chimed in: "I did it. Spent most of my days at the library. Good shelter it was." That lasted six months — until a camera caught them during business hours. Others offered tactical advice: keep a story ready in case staff confront you, scout facilities without lock checks or cameras, and stay mobile to avoid eviction.
One user offered an unusual alternative — a 24/7 coworking office. For $300 to $700 a month, they said, you could sleep in a private office, shower at the gym, use free internet, eat bagels and coffee on company dime, and blend in with night owls. Another said, "Seems like it would be easier to sleep or even take up residence in an abandoned house." A few mentioned rotating between a gym, car, rest stop, and storage unit to avoid suspicion.

One person confessed they had done it before and got caught. "They saw it was unlocked and just randomly opened the door," they said. "It was legit one of the most embarrassing things that's ever happened to me."
According to the <a href="https://nationalhomeless.org/guest-post-living-storage-unit-common/">National Coalition for the Homeless</a>, storage unit living is more than just urban legend. The organization shared data from a storage company that surveyed 100 homeless service providers across the country's 50 largest metro areas. Of the 41 organizations that responded — collectively serving over 120,000 people a year — 12% said they had current or recent clients who had lived in a storage unit, reporting 14 known cases over a three-year span. Another 12% said they had heard of the practice, though not from their own clients. The remaining 76% said they had no reports or awareness of anyone living in a storage unit.
Living in a storage unit is <a href="https://www.apartmenttherapy.com/can-you-live-in-a-storage-unit-37181149">illegal in all 50 states</a>. They're not zoned for residential use, lack plumbing, and pose serious fire risks. But whether it's a risky shortcut to early retirement or a last resort after sleeping in a car, one thing is clear: people are still doing it.&nbsp;

<h3>Comparing Parker Hannifin P/E Against 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. 
Parker Hannifin has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 28.42 of the Machinery industry. Ideally, one might believe that the stock might perform worse than its peers, but it's also probable that the stock is undervalued.

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.
