Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>) racked up impressive gains this week, prompting cryptocurrency analysts to raise their bullish expectations for the memecoin.
What Happened: A widely followed technical analyst, operating under the pseudonym World Of Charts, drew attention to DOGE's falling wedge pattern, which is typically construed by experts as bullish.
The analyst remarked, "On verge of another breakout expecting move towards 0.27-0.30$ in case of successful breakout." Notably, such a move would mean a 74-100% jump from the current prices.

Samsung Electronics Co.

However, the attempt has been met with some major criticism.
What Happened: On Wednesday, Samsung released its new ad in response to Apple&#8217;s &#8220;Crush&#8221; ad, which was pulled after sparking controversy. Cupertino&#8217;s &#8220;Crush&#8221; ad depicted various creative tools being crushed by an industrial crusher, leaving only the new iPad Pro intact. 
The ad was met with criticism from the creative community, who interpreted it as a grim representation of technology crushing human creativity. 
The new &#8220;UnCrush&#8221; ad by Samsung features&nbsp;a person playing a broken&nbsp;guitar on a paint-covered industrial&nbsp;press, using a Samsung Galaxy&nbsp;Tab S9 to read sheet&nbsp;music. The ad concludes with a promotion of&nbsp;the tablet, displaying &#8220;with Galaxy AI.&#8221;

However, Samsung&#8217;s &#8220;UnCrush&#8221; ad has failed to resonate with the audience. The ad has been criticized for ignoring&nbsp;the foundation of the complaints&nbsp;about Apple&#8217;s &#8220;Crush&#8221; ad like the increased usage of artificial intelligence.
One person on X, formerly Twitter, said that Samsung overlooked the primary cause of the backlash as they boasted by Galaxy AI, triggering the ire of many creatives who believe AI is &#8220;crushing creative industries.&#8221;

Samsung's 'UnCrush' Ad Mocking Apple Invites Barrage Of Criticism Online: 'You Think This Will Make People Switch?'

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.), is seeking public opinion on whether he should propose a bill to abolish the Federal Reserve. The majority of his followers on X, formerly Twitter, voted in favor of the move.
What Happened: On Wednesday, Massie asked his nearly 780,000 followers on X if he should introduce a bill to abolish the Federal Reserve. An overwhelming 87.4% of 97,987 voters were in favor of abolishing the Federal Reserve, while only 2.5% voted to keep it.

The proposition comes amidst a backdrop of recent economic developments. The U.S. inflation data for April came in line with analyst estimates, breaking a three-month streak of higher-than-expected readings. This reignited hopes for a return to the Federal Reserve's 2% inflation target.
Why It Matters: Massie&#8217;s poll comes on the heels of his recent alliance with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) in her <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38284071/marjorie-taylor-greene-bid-to-oust-speaker-mike-johnson-joined-by-thomas-massie-its-a-clusterf-k">campaign to unseat</a> House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.).
On Wednesday, the Consumer Price Index showed a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/05/38842603/us-inflation-falls-as-expected-in-april-bolsters-fed-rate-cut-bets">year-over-year increase</a> of 3.4% last month. This news, along with slowing price pressures and weaker-than-expected consumer spending.
Data showed that prices of gasoline rose nearly 2.8% in April, a pace quicker than April&#8217;s 1.5% rise. Excluding energy and food, the core CPI inflation eased from 3.8% to 3.6% year-over-year, according to the report.
Meanwhile, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell indicated that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/05/38840668/gold-bull-peter-schiff-says-inflation-headed-far-higher-as-powell-refuses-to-acknow">interest rates may remain higher</a> for longer but reassured that the next rate increase is unlikely. Economist Peter Schiff criticized Powell for not acknowledging that the Fed&#8217;s easy monetary policy during the pandemic caused the current inflation problem, suggesting inflation may rise further due to repeated policy mistakes.

Marjorie Taylor Greene Ally Thomas Massie Polls X Users On Whether He Should Introduce A Bill To Abolish The Federal Reserve — Receives Overwhelming Support

The stock market rally for 2024 has reached its peak, according to Goldman Sachs. The firm&#8217;s chief U.S. equity strategist, David Kostin, has predicted a flat return for the S&amp;P 500 for the remainder of the year.
What Happened: Kostin mentioned in an interview with Bloomberg TV that there is no economic, valuation, or earnings rationale for additional upside. The S&amp;P 500 has already surpassed Goldman&#8217;s year-end target of 5,200.
This suggests &#8220;a flat return from now till the end of the year,&#8221; Kostin said, leaving open the possibility for a change in forecast if variables change.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

</figure>
Goldman&#8217;s team currently projects real GDP growth of just under 3% and earnings growth of about 8%. However, valuations are currently high and unlikely to boost stocks further. 
&#8220;They&#8217;re at an index level basis almost 21 times earnings. So the probability of a multiple expansion, while possible, is less probable,&#8221; Kostin said. &#8220;The idea of earnings being much greater than we&#8217;re assuming we think is pretty low.&#8221;

Despite this, Kostin hasn&#8217;t entirely dismissed the possibility of a bullish turnaround. He noted that if the Federal Reserve has to cut interest rates more dramatically than assumed, this could lead to more upside. However, Goldman&#8217;s base case still considers two cuts as the most likely scenario for this year.
Why It Matters: Recently, the stock market showed a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38836638/stock-market-flashes-bullish-signal-bank-of-america-predicts-record-highs-this-summer">bullish signal</a>, with the S&amp;P 500 and the NYSE advance-decline lines hitting new all-time highs. This was seen as a leading indicator by technical analysts. However, Kostin&#8217;s recent comments suggest that this bullish trend may not continue.
Meanwhile, Mohamed El-Erian, the Chief Economic Advisor at Allianz, has suggested that the latest inflation data could prompt the U.S. Federal Reserve to consider an earlier <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38862552/mohamed-el-erian-says-bond-and-equity-prices-getting-a-boost-after-softer-than-expected-headline-cpi">interest rate cut</a>, potentially boosting bond and equity prices. This could be a factor in the stock market&#8217;s future performance.
Additionally, investment strategist Ed Yardeni has warned that the Fed&#8217;s potential monetary easing through interest rate cuts could lead to a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38720656/feds-rate-cut-could-trigger-stock-market-melt-up-warns-investment-strategist">stock market melt-up</a>, potentially propelling the S&amp;P 500 to record highs by the year&#8217;s end.

FLOKI clocked double-digit gains in the last 24 hours, and more than 23% over the week, emerging as one of the best performers in the cryptocurrency market.
Apart from the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/05/38862693/bitcoin-ethereum-dogecoin-see-long-sought-relief-rally-on-favorable-inflation-data-numbers">broader bullish sentiment</a> in the sphere, the dog-themed token reacted to the passage of the proposal to burn nearly 15.24 billion FLOKIs with an overwhelming majority. The Floki DAO said that all the tokens would be burned within a week, potentially leading to more upward pressure.

Why It Matters: FLOKI's outperformance signaled the emergence of another memecoin, which remained subdued during much of 2023. Conversely, it has grown 6X year-to-date.&nbsp;
A popular cryptocurrency trader who goes by the alias Captain Faibik, projected a 180–200% bullish rally for the coin up to $0.000366, noting that it has already begun its ascent.

Floki Surpasses Heavyweights Shiba Inu And Solana In Popularity, Emerges As Market's Largest Gainer — Analyst Hopeful Of A 180-200% Bullish Rally

The future of NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) stock might not be as promising as its recent performance suggests, according to a prominent analyst.
What Happened: DA Davidson analyst Gil Luria has cautioned that Nvidia&#8217;s stock might not be able to sustain its meteoric rise due to a potential decline in demand for its GPUs, according to an <a href="https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/investing/video/i-m-worried-about-nvidia-in-the-long-term-demand-decline-may-be-inevitable-analyst~2921599">interview</a> on BNN Bloomberg.
Luria predicts that Nvidia&#8217;s profits for the last quarter will exceed $25 billion. However, he foresees a long-term decline for the chipmaker as it faces increasing competition, even from its own major customers.
&#8220;The reason we&#8217;re not quite as bullish as everybody else is we&#8217;re looking at the horizon. What&#8217;s going to happen next year? What&#8217;s going to happen in 2026? We think there&#8217;s accumulating more and more evidence this can&#8217;t continue,&#8221; Luria said. &#8220;Whenever one company extracts this much profit out of the market, competition does come in, and in Nvidia&#8217;s case, it&#8217;s coming in from its customers.&nbsp;
He noted that the majority of Nvidia&#8217;s business comes from its five largest customers, including Amazon, Meta, Microsoft, Alphabet, and Tesla, all of which are also major players in the AI sector. These firms are reportedly developing their own AI chips, posing a potential threat to Nvidia&#8217;s future.
Luria also pointed out that despite some customers stockpiling Nvidia&#8217;s GPUs, demand is likely to taper off eventually, leading to a decline in revenue. This could catch investors off guard, potentially resulting in a significant drop in the stock price.

Why It Matters: The warning from Luria comes at a time when Nvidia&#8217;s stock has been the subject of much discussion. The company&#8217;s stock has been on a remarkable rise, with a 240% surge in 2023 and an additional 80% increase in 2024. 
This has led to a debate among investors on whether to buy now or wait for a potential drop in the stock price. The recent performance of Nvidia&#8217;s stock has sparked a debate among fund managers. Some, like Trent Masters, a portfolio manager at Alphinity Investment Management, suggest that the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/05/38781377/is-now-the-right-time-to-invest-in-nvidia-fund-managers-are-split-one-of-the-hardest-things-ive-">stock is still a good buy</a> despite its significant rise. He points to the chipmaker&#8217;s strong market share and sustainable earnings as reasons for his bullish stance.
On the other hand, Luria&#8217;s warning is not the only one to have been issued recently. Chinese regulators have reportedly instructed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/05/38793179/nvidia-in-spotlight-as-chinese-tech-giants-push-for-domestic-ai-solutions">local tech firms</a>, including TikTok parent ByteDance, Tencent Holding Ltd, Alibaba Group Holding Limited, and Baidu Inc, to reduce their consumption of Nvidia&#8217;s AI chips and invest in more domestically made AI chips instead. This could potentially impact Nvidia&#8217;s future business in China.
However, not all analysts share Luria&#8217;s caution. HSBC Global Research recently maintained <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/05/38798378/hsbc-analyst-sees-nvidia-stock-climbing-another-50-on-strong-pricing-power-ai-roadm">Nvidia with a Buy rating</a> and lifted its 12-month price target, suggesting that the chipmaker&#8217;s strong pricing power will allow it to continue delivering upside surprises through fiscal-year 2026.
Despite the warnings, some analysts remain optimistic about Nvidia&#8217;s future. KeyBanc analyst John Vinh maintained an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/05/38854520/nvidias-new-blackwell-gpus-expected-to-boost-future-revenues-analyst-forecasts">Overweight rating on Nvidia</a> and a price target of $1,200, expecting Nvidia to report fiscal first-quarter results and second-quarter guidance meaningfully above expectations.

Nvidia Stock Faces Decline In Coming Years As AI Chip Demand Softens, Warns Analyst: 'We're Looking At The Horizon'

To prioritize streaming services,&nbsp;Walt Disney Co&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>) has significantly reduced its investment in traditional television networks, CEO&nbsp;Bob Iger&nbsp;revealed on Wednesday.
What Happened: Speaking at Moffett Nathanson&#8217;s 2024 Media, Internet,&nbsp;and Communications Conference in New&nbsp;York, Iger said that conventional mediums like ABC will continue to function as vital marketing avenues. They will enable the engagement of older audiences who aren&#8217;t tuning into series like &#8220;Abbott Elementary&#8221; on Disney&#8217;s streaming services, reported Reuters. 
However, the company has reduced &#8220;pretty dramatically our investment in content specifically aimed at those traditional networks.&#8221;
&#8220;We feel comfortable with our hand right now, because we're using those networks efficiently and effectively,&#8221; he stated.

Shows such as &#8220;Abbott Elementary&#8221; and &#8220;Grey&#8217;s Anatomy&#8221; are swiftly moved&nbsp;to Disney&#8217;s Hulu streaming service,&nbsp;where they attract a younger&nbsp;audience. This strategy allows Disney to spread costs across platforms, according to Iger.
&#8220;We&#8217;re basically aggregating greater audience, and we&#8217;re amortizing costs and we&#8217;re using the marketing of the traditional network, really, to help in some cases,&#8221; he said, adding, &#8220;We&#8217;re doing that across the board, Disney Channel, ABC, National Geographic, and it&#8217;s working.&#8221;

The company&#8217;s entertainment revenue declined by 5% year-over-year to $9.8 billion, while sports revenue grew 2% year-over-year to $4.3 billion. 
During the earnings call, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/05/38689906/bob-iger-says-this-streaming-platform-is-the-gold-standard-praises-rival-for-cracking-down-">Iger announced a global crackdown</a> on password-sharing, citing&nbsp;Netflix Inc. as the &#8220;gold standard&#8221; in streaming. 
&#8220;We're heartened by the results that Netflix has delivered in their password-sharing initiative and believe that it will be one of the contributors to growth,&#8221; he said then, adding, &#8220;I think it's also important to note, Netflix is in many respects a gold standard when it comes to streaming.&#8221;

Nvidia, MicroStrategy, Cisco, Chubb, Tesla: Why These 5 Stocks Are On Investors' Radars Today

OpenAI&#8216;s chief scientist Ilya Sutskever, who <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38834519/openai-chief-scientist-ilya-sutskever-steps-down-ceo-sam-altman-calls-him-a-guiding-light-of-ai-fiel">announced departure from his post</a> on Wednesday, might now be heading to Elon Musk&#8217;s xAI, according to Deepwater Asset Management&#8216;s managing partner, Gene Munster.
What Happened: Munster took to X, formerly Twitter, and suggested that Sutskever&#8217;s departure from OpenAI could lead him to Musk&#8217;s xAI. He pointed out that Sutskever had already planned his next move and expressed excitement about a project that is personally significant to him.
&#8220;My sense is the writing was on the wall since Nov-23 when Ilya regrettably recommended the board remove Sam Altman. Despite that misstep, he is still one of the world&#8217;s greatest AI talents,&#8221; Munster stated. 
He added, &#8220;My sense is there&#8217;s a 60% chance he ends up at xAI. Elon&#8217;s determined to advance Grok, his &#8216;truth seeking&#8217; foundation model, and needs world-class talent. The question is; is building a truth-seeking model &#8216;personally meaningful&#8217; to Ilya? I don't know the answer,&#8221; Munster wrote.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman also reacted to Sutskever leaving the company saying that it&#8217;s &#8220;very sad.&#8221; On the other hand, Musk replied to a meme video making fun of Altman&#8217;s mixed feelings about Sutskever&#8217;s departure, showing that he doesn&#8217;t believe that the OpenAI CEO is sad.

Why It Matters: Sutskever&#8217;s departure from OpenAI comes after a series of significant events at the artificial intelligence giant. Last year in November, amidst a rebellion by its staff and top executives, Sutskever <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/11/35872963/deeply-regret-my-participation-openais-chief-scientist-who-voted-to-oust-altman-vows-to-reunite-the">led OpenAI&#8217;s board in firing</a> CEO Altman and removing Greg Brockman as the company&#8217;s president. 
He later expressed regret for his actions and vowed to reunite the company. &#8220;I deeply regret my participation in the board's actions. I never intended to harm OpenAI,&#8221; Sutskever said at the time. 
His departure also led to Musk recalling how he holds <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38849496/elon-musk-recalls-breaking-friendship-with-googles-larry-page-over-ilya-sutskever-linchpin-for-opena">Sutskever in such high regard</a> that he broke his friendship with Alphabet Inc.&#8216;s co-founder Larry Page over it. That being said, the Tesla CEO did not give any direct answer to users asking him to hire Sutskever. 
Musk co-founded OpenAI in 2015 and subsequently left it in 2018 over a difference of opinion about the company&#8217;s leadership. The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/03/37415380/elon-musk-sues-sam-altman-and-openai-for-refining-agi-to-maximize-profits-for-microsoft-stark-betray">tech mogul filed a lawsuit against</a> the company and its CEO in March earlier this year, alleging that OpenAI betrayed its &#8220;Founding Agreement.&#8221;

OpenAI Chief Scientist That Quit Months After Participating In Coup Against Sam Altman, Likely To Join Elon Musk's xAI, Says Gene Munster: 'There's A 60% Chance'

The cryptocurrency market ushered in a strong rally Wednesday, following lower-than-expected retail inflation data.&nbsp;

What Happened: Bitcoin soared past $66,000 for the first time in three weeks, lifting more than 7% in the last 24 hours. The second-largest cryptocurrency, Ethereum, followed suit, breaking $3,000 following gains of nearly 5%.
The rally brought commotion to the market, triggering liquidations worth more than $150 million in the last 24 hours. Short liquidations surged past $110 million.
The surge boosted speculative interest, with Open Interest for Bitcoin Futures reaching a one-month high of $32 billion, an 8.64% gain in the last 24 hours.
The market rallied as monthly inflation in the U.S. grew 0.3% from March, below analysts' estimates of 0.4%, according to data released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The softer-than-expected numbers raised expectations of easing monetary policy, resulting in increased capital inflows in the risk-on markets.

The global cryptocurrency market cap stands at $2.39 trillion, expanding 6.56% in the past 24 hours.
The stock market reacted with the same fervor, reaching record highs on Wednesday. The S&amp;P 500 breached 5,300 for the first time, ending at 5,308.15 following a 1.17% uptick. The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 349.89 points, or 0.88%, to close at 39,908.00, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite also ended at a record high of 16,742.39, gaining 1.4% during the trading session.
U.S. Treasury yields sank lower, with the rate on the 10-year note dropping by 3 basis points to 4.323%, providing a further boost to the stocks.

Analyst Notes: Popular cryptocurrency analyst Kevin highlighted Bitcoin's falling wedge/bull flag pattern, predicting the next target as $68,000–$69,0000, a level that could offer significant resistance.
"Looking good thanks to the solid macro data we got the last two days from last month&#8217;s inflation revisions to Core CPI today," the analyst remarked.

Another noted technical analyst, Rekt Capital, discussed the beginning of the altcoin market&#8217;s bottom, which might lead to an altcoin season that traders have long sought.
"Whether Altcoins start bottoming now in mid-May or a little later in end of May, early June&#8230;The window for Altcoin bottoming has just begun."

In the ongoing criminal trial against former President Donald Trump, his ex-personal attorney Michael Cohen is reportedly set to testify once more.
What Happened: Cohen will face cross-examination by Trump&#8217;s defense attorney on Thursday. Cohen, the last witness for the prosecution, had previously testified about his change of allegiance against Trump in 2018 and his wish for Trump&#8217;s conviction, <a href="https://www.voanews.com/a/cohen-to-testify-again-at-trump-s-criminal-trial/7613823.html">reported</a> Voice Of America News.
Trump&#8217;s defense lawyer, Todd Blanche, has cast doubt on the reliability of Cohen&#8217;s testimony, citing his apparent fixation on Trump, which includes profiting from anti-Trump merchandise and books. Blanche aims to expose Cohen&#8217;s hostility towards the former president through his line of questioning.
Cohen has confessed to earning $3.4 million in royalties from two Trump-related books and selling anti-Trump items on his website. He also hosts a podcast where he regularly criticizes Trump.
Blanche has challenged Cohen&#8217;s selective memory, pointing out his ability to remember damaging conversations with Trump from 2016, but not recent interactions with prosecutors. Cohen, however, maintains that he remembers all phone conversations with Trump.
Trump is facing 34 charges and could be sentenced to up to four years in prison if convicted. The charges include falsifying business records at his Trump Organization to conceal a $130,000 reimbursement to Cohen in 2017.

Why It Matters: Cohen&#8217;s testimony has been a significant part of the trial. He has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/05/38832464/michael-cohen-says-he-was-knee-deep-into-the-cult-of-donald-trump-when-he-admired-lied-for-forme">admitted to lying multiple times</a> to protect Trump and has facilitated payments between Trump and several parties to maintain their silence.
His testimony has been <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38844560/michael-cohen-remarkably-good-at-ny-hush-money-trial-says-ex-doj-attorney-slams-defenses-beyond-thin">praised by political experts</a> and former Department of Justice Attorney Andrew Weissmann, who called Cohen&#8217;s performance &#8220;remarkably good&#8221; and criticized the defense&#8217;s cross-examination as &#8220;beyond thin-skinned, rude.&#8221;
Trump has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38805336/trump-slams-judge-defends-actions-following-michael-cohens-testimony-in-hush-money-trial-really-a-ve">publicly criticized</a> the judge presiding over the case, calling it a &#8220;very sad day for the country.&#8221;

Michael Cohen, Whose Testimony Attracted Praises By Experts, Set To Appear Again In Trump Hush Money Case

Mohamed El-Erian, the Chief Economic Advisor at Allianz, suggested that the latest inflation data could prompt the U.S. Federal Reserve to consider an earlier interest rate cut, potentially boosting bond and equity prices.
What Happened: El-Erian took social media platform X, to share the latest U.S. inflation figures, indicating a potential shift in the Fed&#8217;s interest rate policy. 
&#8220;At 0.3%, the monthly increase in headline US CPI was better than the consensus forecast of 0.4%. The core measure was in line with the 0.3% forecast. These #inflation numbers and softer-than-expected retail sales data —unchanged for the headline measure and down 0.3% for the &#8220;control group&#8221;—are fueling hopes for an earlier interest rate cut by the #FederalReserve, thereby boosting bond and equity prices,&#8221; El-Erian&#8217;s post read.

Why It Matters: The latest inflation data has been a topic of keen interest, with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/05/38842603/us-inflation-falls-as-expected-in-april-bolsters-fed-rate-cut-bets">April&#8217;s figures aligning with analyst estimates</a>, breaking a concerning three-month streak of higher-than-expected readings and reigniting hopes for a return to the Federal Reserve's 2% inflation target. This has led to speculation about a potential shift in the Fed&#8217;s interest rate policy, as hinted by El-Erian.
However, Fed Chair Jerome Powell has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/05/38821976/fed-chair-powell-signals-patience-in-rate-policy-labels-producer-inflation-data-as-mixed">signaled patience in rate policy</a>, suggesting that the next move by the Fed would likely be to maintain the policy rate rather than increase it. This has added to the uncertainty surrounding the Fed&#8217;s future decisions.
While the potential for an earlier rate cut has sparked optimism in the bond and equity markets, it also reflects broader concerns about inflation and its impact on the economy. These concerns have been highlighted by El-Erian in a recent poll, where <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38780665/mohamed-el-erian-highlights-voter-concerns-over-inflation-income-and-housing-costs-in-latest-poll-im">voter worries about inflation</a> were shown to be affecting President Joe Biden&#8216;s economic policy approval ratings.
Meanwhile, some Reddit users are increasingly predicting an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38781510/redditors-predict-economic-doom-brace-for-us-collapse-only-time-will-tell-how-bad-it-will-truly-get">economic collapse in the U.S.</a>, with some even preparing for a scenario similar to the Soviet Union's demise after the Cold War. The growing concern is being fueled by factors such as inflation, debt, and job market instability.

Mohamed El-Erian Says Bond And Equity Prices Getting A Boost After Softer-Than-Expected Headline CPI Numbers And Fueling 'Hopes For An Earlier Interest Rate Cut'

Ahead of the November election, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has expressed her disapproval of President Joe Biden debating with former President Donald Trump.
What Happened: Pelosi voiced her concerns over Trump&#8217;s past debate behavior, citing instances from 2016 and 2020 when Trump appeared to physically intimidate his opponents and frequently interrupted the moderator, <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4666882-pelosi-says-she-would-never-recommend-biden-debate-trump/">reported</a> The Hill.
"I myself would never recommend going on stage with Donald Trump," Pelosi told CNN's on Wednesday, according to the report.
&#8220;But the president has decided that's what he wants to do,&#8221; said the former speaker. "I think the format he is suggesting is a good one."
The first debate, hosted by CNN, is scheduled for June 27, followed by a second debate on September 10, hosted by ABC. These debates are part of a strategic move by the Biden campaign to highlight the differences between the two candidates.
Pelosi suggested that networks hold separate town hall meetings, allowing the candidates to answer questions about the future and let the public make their decision.

Nancy Pelosi On Upcoming Presidential Debate: 'I Would Never Recommend Going On Stage With Donald Trump'

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) praised the courage of Slovakia&#8217;s Prime Minister, Robert Fico, following an assassination attempt, in relation to his stance on the World Health Organization and COVID-19 vaccinations.
What Happened: On Wednesday, Greene took to X, formerly Twitter, to express her admiration for Fico&#8217;s bold stance against the WHO and mass vaccinations. She tweeted, &#8220;This is great and courageous. No wonder they shot him. I pray he makes a full recovery.&#8221;

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

The tweet came in response to a video, shared by an X user and featuring Fico, where he declared that his party, the Slovakia Democratic Party, would not support strengthening the powers of the WHO. He also voiced his concerns about the consequences of mass vaccination with experimental, untested vaccines.
In response to Greene, some X users pointed out that she was pushing conspiracy theories, while others questioned with incredulity her &#8220;no wonder they shot him&#8221; statement.

Kevin O'Leary is quite blunt when it comes to giving important advice, especially when it concerns business and money. While the "Shark Tank" host has doled out plenty of advice over the years, he follows it himself too, and is known for his frugal lifestyle.
Be it expensive coffee or sandwiches, O'Leary follows these five things in his life so he does not waste his money.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">1. No Expensive Dates</h3>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="585" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/15095542/Kevin-1-1-1024x585.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-339512" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/15095542/Kevin-1-1-1024x585.jpg 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/15095542/Kevin-1-1-300x171.jpg 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/15095542/Kevin-1-1-768x439.jpg 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/15095542/Kevin-1-1-1536x878.jpg 1536w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/15095542/Kevin-1-1.jpg 1792w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Representational image of a date &#x7C; Photo generated using Dall-E</figcaption></figure>
Perhaps this is easier said than done at times, but O'Leary does not like expensive dates. Instead, he wants people to look at dating as an investment.
"You're going to spend money and you're going to spend time [on dates], so look at that significant other in the context of, ‘Do I want to spend time with them?' And, ‘Do I want to invest money in them?&#8217;" he <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2018/06/25/kevin-oleary-how-to-decide-what-to-spend-on-a-date.html">said</a> in a CNBC interview.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">2. No Expensive Coffee</h3>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="585" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/15095608/Kevin-2-1-1024x585.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-339514" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/15095608/Kevin-2-1-1024x585.jpg 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/15095608/Kevin-2-1-300x171.jpg 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/15095608/Kevin-2-1-768x439.jpg 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/15095608/Kevin-2-1-1536x878.jpg 1536w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/15095608/Kevin-2-1.jpg 1792w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Representational image of a person making coffee &#x7C; Photo generated using Dall-E</figcaption></figure>
O'Leary thinks it is "such a waste of money" to buy expensive coffee that costs $2.50 to purchase but "about 18 cents" to make.
"I drink coffee, one cup every morning. It costs about 18 cents to make it, and I invest the rest," he <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56XYThTXgOQ">said</a> in another interview on CNBC.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">3. Not Buying $15 Sandwiches</h3>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="585" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/15095628/Kevin-3-1024x585.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-339516" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/15095628/Kevin-3-1024x585.jpg 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/15095628/Kevin-3-300x171.jpg 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/15095628/Kevin-3-768x439.jpg 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/15095628/Kevin-3-1536x878.jpg 1536w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/15095628/Kevin-3.jpg 1792w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Representational image of a person making a sandwich &#x7C; Photo generated using Dall-E</figcaption></figure>
O'Leary is not a big fan of spending too much on eating out – he thinks spending $15 on sandwiches makes no sense for something that costs 99 cents to make at home.
"You know, you go to work, you spend 15 bucks on a sandwich. What are you an idiot?" he <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@kevinolearytv/video/7275123149476252971?lang=en">said</a> in a TikTok video.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">4. No Fast Fashion</h3>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="585" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/15095644/Kevin-4-1024x585.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-339519" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/15095644/Kevin-4-1024x585.jpg 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/15095644/Kevin-4-300x171.jpg 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/15095644/Kevin-4-768x439.jpg 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/15095644/Kevin-4-1536x878.jpg 1536w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/15095644/Kevin-4.jpg 1792w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Representational image of a closet full of suits &#x7C; Photo generated using Dall-E</figcaption></figure>
O'Leary thinks spending too much on clothes is another big source of throwing money down the drain.
"If you actually look at your closet, you probably wear the same 20% 80% of the time, and the rest of the stuff you bought is wasted," said O'Leary in an interview with Entrepreneur.
He added that he has 20 suits and carries four of them with him – he wears them out before buying new ones, which helps him not waste money.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">5. Not Buying Things You Don't Need</h3>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="585" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/15095712/Kevin-5-1024x585.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-339520" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/15095712/Kevin-5-1024x585.jpg 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/15095712/Kevin-5-300x171.jpg 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/15095712/Kevin-5-768x439.jpg 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/15095712/Kevin-5-1536x878.jpg 1536w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/15095712/Kevin-5.jpg 1792w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Representational image of a person reading a book &#x7C; Photo generated using Dall-E</figcaption></figure>
Another important factor to keep in mind while buying things is asking yourself, "Do I really need this?" says O'Leary.
"So, I don't buy a lot of crap. I buy good stuff that I need and I invest the rest."

Did you know that 40% of all food in the United States ends up in the trash? And guess what? Nearly half of that comes from our very own kitchens. Yes, we&#8217;re all a bit guilty of messing up portion sizes, cooking too much and then letting those leftovers linger in the fridge until they&#8217;re no longer recognizable. But let's switch things up.
Here are five clever ways to tackle those leftovers and cut down on food waste.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">1. Plan to Have Leftovers</h3>
<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/2024/05/14051030/leftover-food-recycling-3-1024x576.jpeg" alt="When you're planning meals, think about what the extras can become. Image: Dall-E 3" class="wp-image-336658" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/14051030/leftover-food-recycling-3-1024x576.jpeg 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/14051030/leftover-food-recycling-3-300x169.jpeg 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/14051030/leftover-food-recycling-3-768x432.jpeg 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/14051030/leftover-food-recycling-3.jpeg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">When you're planning meals, think about what the extras can become. Image: Dall-E 3</figcaption></figure>
When you&#8217;re whipping up your next meal, think a step ahead. Making double the veggies or rice isn&#8217;t just about having leftovers, it's also about setting yourself up for an easy meal later. Imagine turning last night's roast chicken into today's chicken salad sandwich. Or how about freezing half of tonight&#8217;s rice for a quick stir-fry next week? You&#8217;re not just saving food, you&#8217;re also saving time and money in the process.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">2. Get Smart About Storage</h3>
<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/2024/05/14052226/leftover-food-recycling-5-1024x576.jpeg" alt="Glass containers are not just reusable; they let you see what's inside without even opening them. Image: Dall-E 3" class="wp-image-336682" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/14052226/leftover-food-recycling-5-1024x576.jpeg 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/14052226/leftover-food-recycling-5-300x169.jpeg 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/14052226/leftover-food-recycling-5-768x432.jpeg 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/14052226/leftover-food-recycling-5.jpeg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Glass containers are not just reusable; they let you see what's inside without even opening them. Image: Dall-E 3</figcaption></figure>
Ever lost a container of leftovers in the back of the fridge? Consider switching to glass containers. They&#8217;re better for the planet, and you can actually see what's inside without opening the lid. And for freezing, grab some zip-top bags, label them with what&#8217;s inside and the date, and you'll make your life a whole lot easier.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">3. Declare a Leftover Night</h3>
<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/2024/05/14051610/leftover-food-recycling-4-1024x576.jpeg" alt="Discipline yourself to commit to eating down the fridge one night a week. Image: Dall-E 3" class="wp-image-336669" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/14051610/leftover-food-recycling-4-1024x576.jpeg 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/14051610/leftover-food-recycling-4-300x169.jpeg 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/14051610/leftover-food-recycling-4-768x432.jpeg 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/14051610/leftover-food-recycling-4.jpeg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Discipline yourself to commit to eating down the fridge one night a week. Image: Dall-E 3</figcaption></figure>
Is your fridge starting to look like a food museum? Pick one night a week and dedicate it to eating up all those leftovers. Call it the &#8220;Fridge Clean-Out Feast&#8221; or whatever fun name you like. It's like a culinary challenge in your own kitchen!
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">4. Lunch Transformation</h3>
<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/2024/05/14051719/leftover-food-recycling-1-1024x576.jpeg" alt="Stash a lunch-able portion of dinner in a container and pack it for lunch the next day. Image: Dall-E 3" class="wp-image-336673" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/14051719/leftover-food-recycling-1-1024x576.jpeg 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/14051719/leftover-food-recycling-1-300x169.jpeg 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/14051719/leftover-food-recycling-1-768x432.jpeg 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/14051719/leftover-food-recycling-1.jpeg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Stash a good portion of dinner in a container and pack it for lunch the next day. Image: Dall-E 3</figcaption></figure>
Turn dinner&#8217;s extras into tomorrow's lunch. It's a no-brainer way to save some cash and eat healthier. Packing up a portion of tonight's dinner means you've got a homemade meal ready to go for lunch at work. No extra cooking is required — just scoop, store, and enjoy the next day!
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">5. Rethink Your Leftovers</h3>
<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/2024/05/14051830/leftover-food-recycling-2-1024x576.jpeg" alt="Try and see leftovers from the lens of a chef and use them as ingredients in your next meal. Image: Dall-E 3" class="wp-image-336674" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/14051830/leftover-food-recycling-2-1024x576.jpeg 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/14051830/leftover-food-recycling-2-300x169.jpeg 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/14051830/leftover-food-recycling-2-768x432.jpeg 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/14051830/leftover-food-recycling-2.jpeg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">See leftovers from the lens of a chef and use them as ingredients in your next meal. Image: Dall-E 3</figcaption></figure>
Don't see your leftovers as just reheated meals. Those extra noodles? They're the base of a killer new frittata. Got some veggies hanging around? Whip them into a vibrant pasta sauce with a can of tomatoes. Or roll last night's rice and chicken into a burrito, add a dollop of sour cream and some salsa, and bam! You've got yourself a new meal.
