Smart Money Is Betting Big In MARA Options

We've all heard about "the 1%," but what does joining their ranks take? Spoiler: it's not pocket change.&nbsp;
According to Kiplinger data, to be in the top 1% of wealth in the U.S. in 2024, one must have a net worth of about $11.6 million. That's up significantly from past years, showing just how concentrated wealth has become at the top.
But the 1% isn't the only benchmark worth considering. The wealth ladder has plenty of rungs and the numbers may surprise you. Whether aiming to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/12/42350109/are-you-earning-enough-to-be-considered-rich-heres-what-the-top-5-are-raking-in-annually">hit the top 10%, 5% or even 2%</a>, understanding the breakdown can be a powerful motivator – or a reality check.
Don't Miss:
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">Are you rich?</a> Here&#8217;s what Americans think you need to be considered wealthy.</li>
<li>Can you guess how many Americans successfully retire with $1,000,000 saved?<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/1milsaved"> The percentage may shock you</a>.</li>
</ul>
How Wealth Breaks Down by Percentile
Here's what it takes to land in different wealth brackets in the U.S.:
• Top 1%: $11.6 million
• Top 2%: $2.7 million
• Top 5%: $1.17 million
• Top 10%: $970,900
• Top 50%: $585,000
The numbers vary slightly depending on the source, but they all tell the same story: moving up the wealth ranks is no small feat. For instance, some estimates peg the 1% threshold even higher at $13.6 million.

What the Wealthy Do Differently
If you're wondering how the ultrarich get and stay wealthy, their asset allocation offers some clues. High net worth individuals (HNWIs) don't just stash their cash under the mattress. They invest – and they diversify.
Real Estate: A Cornerstone of Wealth
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/11/41726342/can-you-guess-what-asset-the-ultra-wealthy-invest-in-most-heres-a-hint-its-not-stocks">Real estate is a big deal</a> for the wealthy. According to Knight Frank, the ultra-wealthy allocate about 32% of their wealth to residential properties and 21% to commercial real estate. Why? Because real estate has a track record of steady appreciation and can weather market volatility better than many other investments.
Even if you're not in the market for a multimillion-dollar mansion, owning property – your home or a rental – can be a key step toward building wealth.
Stocks, Bonds and Beyond
For those with more than $3 million in investable assets, here's the average breakdown of their portfolios as reported by Financial Samurai:
• 55% in stocks
• 21% in bonds
• 15% in cash
• 6% in alternatives (like private equity or hedge funds)
• 4% in other assets
The takeaway? The wealthiest Americans spread their money across different asset classes, balancing high-risk, high-reward investments with stable ones.

Strategies to Grow Your Net Worth
You might not be aiming for the top 1%, but building wealth is a goal almost anyone can work toward. Here's how:
1. Invest in Real Estate: Consider owning property, even if it's your primary residence.
2. Diversify Your Portfolio: Don't <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/06/39360926/diversification-thats-for-idiots-mark-cuban-slams-warren-buffetts-investment-strategy-i-think-bu">put all your eggs in one basket – </a>stocks, bonds and other investments each have a role.
3. Think Long-Term: Slow and steady often wins the race. Focus on consistent growth rather than chasing quick wins.
4. Increase Your Income: Earning more, whether through a side hustle or career advancement, gives you more to save and invest.
5. Spend Less Than You Earn: It's not flashy, but living below your means is one of the most effective ways to build wealth.
Building wealth isn't an overnight process, but understanding the numbers and strategies that the ultra-wealthy use can be a solid first step. Whether you're just starting or climbing the wealth ladder, remember that every dollar saved and invested gets you <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">closer to your financial goals</a>.

Sol-Gel Technologies Shares Resume Trade Then Halted On Circuit Breaker To The Upside, Stock Now Up 224%

Following the COVID-19 pandemic,<a href="https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/ACTLISCOUUS"> </a>active <a href="https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/ACTLISCOUUS">listings</a> for single-family homes fell conspicuously due to public health concerns and mandated stay-in-place orders. Naturally, this framework sparked a demand bottleneck, cynically benefiting homebuilders as society gradually normalized. However, incoming political shifts could present concerns for the broader housing market.
Specifically, President-elect Donald Trump throughout the campaign trail for the 2024 election<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41301544/trump-steps-up-anti-immigrant-rhetoric-proposes-nationwide-plan-to-target-venezuelan-gang-members"> broadcasted anti-immigration sentiments</a>.

Potentially, such a development could negatively impact demand as<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/11/41728751/even-as-inflation-cools-most-americans-cant-get-ahead-and-continue-living-paycheck-to-paycheck-r"> most Americans have struggled</a> to get ahead of the paycheck-to-paycheck cycle.
Still, it's not all doom and gloom. Despite historically high mortgage rates, several Sun Belt cities may be poised for<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/12/42515226/2025s-top-housing-markets-where-home-sales-will-jump-by-up-to-27-according-to-report"> explosive sales growth in 2025</a>, according to projections from sites like Realtor.com. Several cities in Texas have consistently placed in the top rankings regarding housing demand. Further, booming areas such as Miami, Virginia Beach, Richmond and Charlotte may reignite currently deflated sentiment for homebuilding stocks.
The Direxion ETF: For investors that view the glass as half-full, the Direxion Daily Homebuilders &amp; Supplies Bull 3X Shares (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NAIL#NYSE">NAIL</a>) offer the ultimate in speculation. A leveraged exchange-traded fund, NAIL seeks a return that is 300% of the performance of the Dow Jones U.S. Select Home Construction Index.
Fundamentally, one of the benefits of a 3X-leveraged fund is convenience. Typically, traders seeking to magnify their returns over a short time period use options, which introduce complexities. In contrast, investors can buy units of the NAIL ETF, much like buying shares of a publicly traded company. Further, NAIL covers a basket of securities, including names like DR Horton Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DHI#NYSE">DHI</a>) and Lennar Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LEN#NYSE">LEN</a>) (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LEN#NYSE">LEN</a>).
However, as a 3X-leveraged ETF, NAIL carries significant volatility risks. Notably, Direxion states that the fund should not be expected to provide three times the benchmark index's cumulative return for periods greater than a day. That's because exposure lasting longer than a day may expose the trader to valuation decay due to the effects of daily compounding.
Nevertheless, weekly returns of the NAIL fund over the trailing five years reflects an upward bias. Of the past 261 weeks, 146 weeks saw a positive return, reflecting a success ratio of 55.94%. What's more, there have been 12 weeks (not including last week) where NAIL lost 20% of value or more. Of this dataset, eight of the following weeks generated positive returns, with an average performance of 25.55% up.
Interestingly, in the business week ending Dec. 20, the 3X bull fund lost 21.66% of value.
The NAIL ETF: Although the leveraged housing fund was looking strong up until late November, economic and political uncertainties saw the ETF go negative for the year.
<ul>
<li>At the moment, the technical backdrop isn't enticing, with NAIL falling through its 50- and 200-day moving averages in late November and early December, respectively.</li>
<li>On the positive side, NAIL is trading above the critical $80 level, which previously acted as support throughout 2021.</li>
<li>Moving forward, it's imperative that the bulls establish a baseline of support here. This seems credible given the aforementioned upward bias, especially following a severe weekly correction.</li>
</ul>

Investors Following Housing Sentiment May Consider Direxion's NAIL ETF

Nordstrom, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JWN#NYSE">JWN</a>) shares are trading lower. The company on Monday announced that the Nordstrom Family and Liverpool will acquire <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/12/n42646178/nordstrom-to-be-acquired-by-nordstrom-family-and-liverpool">all outstanding common shares of Nordstrom</a>. 
What To Know: Nordstrom said it signed a definitive agreement under which Erik, Pete, Jamie, other members of the Nordstrom family and Liverpool will acquire all shares not already owned by the parties in an all-cash transaction valued at approximately $6.25 billion on an enterprise basis. 
Under terms of the agreement, Nordstrom shareholders will receive $24.25 per share in cash, representing a premium of approximately 42% over the company&#8217;s share price as of March 18. Nordstrom said March 18 was the last day its stock traded unaffected by media speculation. 
The deal will also include a special dividend of up to 25 cents per share contingent on the transaction&#8217;s closing. The acquisition will result in Nordstrom becoming a private company. Following the close, the Nordstrom Family will own 50.1% of the company, with Liverpool holding 49.9%.
The Nordstrom Board has unanimously approved the proposed transaction upon the unanimous recommendation of a special committee of independent and disinterested directors that led the review and negotiation of this transaction. 
&#8220;Following a rigorous and independent evaluation and consultation with outside financial and legal advisors, the special committee unanimously concluded that this transaction offers greater value for all public shareholders at a significant premium to the unaffected share price,&#8221; said Eric Sprunk, chairman of the special committee.
JWN Price Action: Nordstrom shares were down 1.55% at $24.15 at the time of publication Monday, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro.</a>

Hedging &amp; Arbitrage Opportunities
Another strategy involves capitalizing on price differentials in various markets through hedging and arbitrage:

</ul>
Leverage Financing for Higher ROI Projects

<ul>
<li>Investing in projects with good potential returns.</li>
<li>Ensuring that financing costs are covered by profit margins.</li>

In the current market session, Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) stock price is at $254.02, after a 0.18% drop. However, over the past month, the company's stock spiked by 8.07%, and in the past year, by 31.58%. Shareholders might be interested in knowing whether the stock is overvalued, even if the company is not performing up to par in the current session. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1734984018_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Apple P/E Compared to Competitors</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Apple has a better P/E ratio of 41.86 than the aggregate P/E ratio of 34.77 of the Technology Hardware, Storage &amp; Peripherals industry. Ideally, one might believe that Apple Inc. might perform better in the future than it's industry group, but it's probable that the stock is overvalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1734984018_1.png" alt="Guage" />

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

A Look Into Apple Inc's Price Over Earnings

Eli Lilly and Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLY#NYSE">LLY</a>) shares are trading higher Monday. The upward momentum in the stock comes after the FDA approved the company&#8217;s Zepbound, a weight loss drug designed to treat moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care/24/12/42637278/eli-lillys-zepbound-receives-fda-approval-for-obesity-linked-sleep-apnea-drug">in adults with obesity.</a>
What To Know: After the market close on Friday, Eli Lilly announced FDA approval of Zepbound (tirzepatide) as the first prescription medicine for adults with moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea and obesity.
Obstructive sleep apnea is estimated to affect 50 million to 80 million people in the U.S., with an estimated 20 million suffering from moderate-to-severe forms. Clinical trials demonstrated the drug's efficacy, with nearly half of patients on the highest dose showing significant improvement in their apnea-hypopnea index, a primary diagnostic metric.
&#8220;Today, many cases of OSA go undiagnosed and untreated, leaving millions at risk for serious health consequences,&#8221; said Patrik Jonsson, executive vice president, and president of Lilly Cardiometabolic Health and Lilly USA. &#8220;Zepbound is the first medication that significantly improves moderate-to-severe OSA and aids in long-term weight loss in adults with obesity.&#8221;
The approval is expected to impact insurance coverage for Zepbound, potentially expanding Medicare benefits for obesity-related treatments. In addition to improved obstructive sleep apnea symptoms, adults on Zepbound lost an average of 45 lbs (18%) of their body weight in Phase 3 trials.
The approval also positions Eli Lilly ahead of competitors like Novo Nordisk, whose Wegovy lacks approval for sleep apnea. The company's ongoing $3 billion investment in manufacturing capacity underscores its focus on meeting demand for its diabetes and obesity treatments.
Eli Lilly reported third-quarter revenue of $11.44 billion in October, reflecting a 20% year-over-year increase. Zepbound accounted for approximately $1.26 billion in total revenue during the quarter.
LLY Price Action: Eli Lilly shares were up 3.11% at $791.63 at the time of writing, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro.</a>

Eli Lilly Stock Is Rising Monday: What's Going On?

CHEK

Check-Cap Shares Halted On Circuit Breaker To The Upside, Stock Now Up 386.4%

The semiconductor sector has had an electrifying run in recent years, but 2024 proved to be more selective. While some chipmakers soared to triple-digit gains, others <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/chipmakers">struggled to stay afloat. </a>
As traders look forward to2025, a fresh question emerges: Should you chase the winners, pick the laggards, or focus on undervalued opportunities with high analyst backing?
The iShares Semiconductor ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NYSE">SOXX</a>) delivered a 15.2% year-to-date gain as of Dec. 23, cooling off after a massive 65% surge in 2023. Within the group, performance varied wildly:
<ul>
<li>Top Performers: Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) rose 180%, while Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>) gained 109%.</li>
<li>Biggest Laggards: Intel Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) sank 60%, Microchip Technology Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MCHP#NASDAQ">MCHP</a>) fell 36%, and ON Semiconductor Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ON#NASDAQ">ON</a>) dropped 20%.</li>
</ul>
The key takeaway? The semiconductor market is far from homogenous, with companies diverging sharply based on their ability to capitalize on emerging trends like AI.
