The Details: According to <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-11-22/robinhood-s-gallagher-drops-out-of-sec-chair-consideration?sref=TBDibEcD">Bloomberg</a>, Dan Gallagher, chief legal officer at Robinhood Markets, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HOOD#NASDAQ">HOOD</a>) has removed himself from consideration as head of the SEC.
Gallagher expressed his intention to remain at Robinhood in an emailed statement. 
&#8220;It is always an honor to have your name in the mix for an incredibly important job like SEC Chairman. However, I have made it clear that I do not wish to be considered for this position,&#8221; Gallagher said.&nbsp;
&#8220;I am committed to Robinhood and our millions of customers who represent the new generation of retail investors.&#8221;

Gallagher has been Robinhood's chief legal officer since 2020. He steered the company through the GameStop Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GME#NYSE">GME</a>) meme stock saga and Trump considered him a top <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/10/41212008/trump-considers-robinhood-exec-dan-gallagher-for-sec-chair-if-re-elected">contender for the position</a>. He was a Republican SEC commissioner from 2011 to 2015, and previously served in other senior roles in the agency. 
The crypto community favored Gallagher, feeling he would <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/41876266/bitcoin-blasts-past-82000-buy-everything-you-can-says-bernstein">help to advance</a> pro-crypto regulatory change.
Among the other names being floated for SEC chair include: Robert Stebbins, the SEC's former general counsel; Paul Atkins, former SEC commissioner; and Brian Brooks, former <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/24/11/42053981/trump-sec-pick-speculation-sends-this-altcoin-soaring-past-bitcoin-and-ethereum-in-daily-gains">cryptocurrency executive</a> and former acting comptroller of the currency. 
As for Gallagher, he will stay on as head legal counsel at Robinhood.&nbsp;
"I will remain a vocal and consistent advocate for positive change in our markets,&#8221; Gallagher said. He added that he is &#8220;excited to work with the incoming Trump Administration, including the next SEC Chairman and the SEC staff, to promote innovation and provide more opportunity for retail investors.&#8221;
Price Action: According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw">Benzinga Pro</a>, Robinhood shares ended Friday's session up 4.45% at $36.65.

Despite widespread anticipation that NVIDIA Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>)'s quarterly results would dictate Wall Street's year-end trajectory, the stock market delivered a robust weekly rebound — even in the absence <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/NVDA/news">of its AI darling.</a>
While the semiconductor titan beat analyst expectations on both earnings and revenue for the third quarter, Nvidia's stock remained flat for the week.
Alphabet Inc.

Shares tumbled after the U.S. Department of Justice called for the divestiture of Chrome in a bid to curb Google's dominance in search and digital advertising.
The sell-off wiped out over $120 billion in market capitalization on Thursday alone.
A <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/11/42140450/doj-targets-google-chrome-poll-shows-64-oppose-alphabet-breakup-youtube-seen-as-top-prize">recent Benzinga poll indicates</a> 64% of respondents oppose breaking up Alphabet, with YouTube viewed as the company's most valuable asset.
On the economic front, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/11/42141413/us-business-activity-soars-to-31-month-highs-in-november-small-caps-rally-dow-tops-44000">U.S. private sector activity expanded significantly</a> in November, as reflected in S&amp;P Global's Purchasing Managers' Index surveys. The services sector, in particular, surged at its fastest pace since March 2022, while price pressures continued to recede, creating less headwinds for the Federal Reserve.
Bitcoin&#8217;s (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) rally shows no signs of cooling, with the cryptocurrency notching its fourth consecutive week of gains and hovering around the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42130693/bitcoins-path-to-100k-inevitable-but-leverage-to-the-gills-warns-mike-novogratz-predicts-80k-correction-ahead">historic $100,000 threshold.</a>
The U.S. dollar also maintained its upward momentum, rising for the eighth straight week to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s/24/11/42138717/dollar-hits-2-year-highs-as-europes-recession-signals-spark-euro-pound-sell-offs">reach two-year highs.</a> This latest rally, however, stemmed largely from external turmoil, as escalating geopolitical tensions between Russia and Ukraine, coupled with worsening economic momentum in Europe, triggered sharp weekly sell-offs in the euro and the British pound.

Bill Gates outspent fellow billionaire Jeff Bezos to construct one of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/09/40860724/bezos-doesnt-sunbathe-alone-on-his-25m-a-year-superyacht-as-he-hosts-kim-kardashian-leonard">most expensive yachts ever</a>. Yet, he doesn&#8217;t seem too keen on owning it for himself.
What Happened: The Microsoft co-founder, known for his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/24/10/41580000/bill-gates-turns-69-5-things-you-might-not-know-about-microsoft-co-founder">emphasis on sustainable energy</a>, commissioned a superyacht to be made using fuel cells.
The groundbreaking vessel, known as Breakthrough, has completed its sea trials. It is also set to be sold after Gates passed on buying it, as <a href="https://luxurylaunches.com/transport/bill-gates-645-million-fuel-cell-superyacht-has-finally-completed-its-extensive-sea-trials-powered-by-liquid-hydrogen-stored-at-a-bone-chilling-423f-nearly-as-cold-as-outer-space-the-mammo.php">reported </a>by LuxuryLaunches.
The $645 million superyacht is powered by liquid hydrogen, and stored at -423 degrees Fahrenheit. That makes it nearly as cold as outer space.
Along with using hydrogen power to travel, the yacht&#8217;s amenities are powered with emission-free energy thanks to green hydrogen.
Breakthrough completed trials near Amsterdam. The boat now heads to Edmiston, a seller of luxury yachts.
Coming in at 390 feet long, the Breakthrough is not quite as long as Bezos&#8217; 417-foot Koru vessel. Recall how the Amazon.com founder had difficulty getting the $500-million boat <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/22/08/28385974/jeff-bezos-500-million-superyacht-has-been-relocated-after-bridge-controversy-avoids-getting-egged-i">out of a shipyard.</a>
The Koru, which has its own support vessel spanning 250 feet long, comes with estimated annual operating costs of $25 million.
Breakthrough comes with an even higher price tag and is the first superyacht to be fuel-cell powered. It also features many amenities fit for Gates: a library, movie theater, basketball court, pool and onboard fully equipped hospital.
You may not be a billionaire like Bill Gates, but you can uncover hidden gems in the stock market using our proprietary data and pattern recognition — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/10/41187322/benzingas-stock-whisper-index-5-stocks-investors-secretly-monitor-but-dont-talk-about-yet">check out five stocks flying under the radar that deserve your attention.</a>
What&#8217;s Next: Gates not taking ownership of the superyacht could take away from the huge fuel-cell accomplishment. Also, there are relatively few potential owners who can afford the $645 million price tag.
"The brief was to build the greenest and most environmentally advanced yacht ever built, without compromise," Edmiston CEO Jamie Edmiston previously said, as <a href="https://www.forbes.com.au/life/boats/first-look-at-game-changing-1-billion-hydrogen-superyacht/">reported </a>by Forbes. "It was a huge challenge, but one that the team has embraced and delivered on."
It is unknown why Gates decided not to take ownership of the superyacht he commissioned.
Gates, the sixth-richest person in the world, is worth an estimated $160 billion according to <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/billionaires/?sref=TBDibEcD">Bloomberg</a>.

The State Of REITs: May 2024 Edition

<a href="https://investorplace.com">InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice &amp; Trading Tips</a>
When you write about U.S. stocks as much as I do, you tend to forget about the many other investment ideas available to retail investors in this country. There are plenty.&nbsp;



In recent years, the private capital markets have grown in stature and popularity. That&rsquo;s evident by the big move by pension funds into private equity and other so-called alternative assets.&nbsp;



According to the Global Pension Assets Study &ndash; 2024, the percentage of pension fund assets invested in public equities dropped from <a href="https://www.thinkingaheadinstitute.org/research-papers/global-pension-assets-study-2024/">50.7%</a> in 2003 to 41.6% in 2023. Over these 20 years, the allocation to alternative assets rose 840 basis points to 20.1%.



For investors looking for quality information about the various asset classes, the Bank of America (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/bac-stock-quote/">BAC</a>) <a href="https://fa.ml.com/new-york/new-york/the_jemm_group/mediahandler/media/595849/2023Q3_CIO_Chartbook_GIC.pdf">quarterly chart book</a> for institutional investors is chock-full of information.&nbsp;



For example, the Q3 2023 chartbook examines the risk and returns of various private and public asset classes between July 2005 and March 31, 2023. Private credit had the best return with the least volatility, public equities had the best return with the most volatility, while private equity fell between the two.&nbsp;



Based on these findings, here are my three best investment ideas.



<h2>Ares Capital Corporation (ARCC)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/arcc-stock-1-300x169.jpg" alt="Ares Capital (ARCC) logo on its webpage"><div>Source: Pavel Kapysh / Shutterstock.com</div></div>Representing the private credit asset class, Ares Capital Corporation (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/arcc-stock-quote/">ARCC</a>) is a <a href="https://www.arescapitalcorp.com/about-ares-capital-corporation">business development company</a>, or BDC, and one of the largest direct lenders in the U.S.&nbsp;



ARCC is <a href="https://www.sec.gov/ix?doc=/Archives/edgar/data/1287750/000128775024000011/arcc-20231231.htm">externally managed</a> by Ares Capital Management, an investment adviser owned by alternative asset manager Ares Management (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/ares-stock-quote/">ARES</a>). It invests in the &ldquo;middle market,&rdquo; defined as companies with annual EBITDA &mdash; or earnings before interest taxes, depreciation and amortization &mdash; between $10 million and $250 million.&nbsp;



Its investments range from $30 million to $500 million, and a good portion are first-lien senior secured loans and second-lien senior secured loans. It also invests in subordinated debt, which can include common and preferred equity.



On May 1, the BDC reported its <a href="https://ir.arescapitalcorp.com/news/ares-capital-corporation-announces-march-31-2024-financial-results-and-declares-second-quarter-2024-dividend/c0d49647-ffc4-4bb7-b651-5d031f418e1d/">Q1 2024 results</a>. Investors shouldn&rsquo;t put much stock in the income statement because it varies from quarter to quarter, based on realized and unrealized gains. Excluding these, its core earnings per share were $0.59, two cents higher than a year earlier.&nbsp;



More importantly, its net assets per share were $19.53, up from $19.24 at the end of December. The fair value of its portfolio of investments as of March 31 was $23.12 billion, up from $22.87 billion at the end of December.&nbsp;



Yielding 9.1%, its annualized total return over the past five years was <a href="https://www.morningstar.com/stocks/xnas/arcc/trailing-returns">11.22%</a>. If income is your thing, ARCC is an excellent way to play private credit.&nbsp;



<h2>Blackstone (BX)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/blackstone_group_bx1600a-300x169.jpg" alt="A sign for Blackstone (BX) hangs on a white wall."><div>Source: Isabelle OHara / Shutterstock.com</div></div>Blackstone (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/bx-stock-quote/">BX</a>), the world&rsquo;s largest alternative investment management company, represents alternative assets with <a href="https://d18rn0p25nwr6d.cloudfront.net/CIK-0001393818/5d6f6a4d-396e-4855-aedd-73d45ba5bd89.pdf">$1.06 trillion</a> in Assets Under Management as of March 31. Those assets are divided among four buckets: Real Estate, which constitutes 32% of AUM, Private Equity at 29%, Credit &amp; Insurance at 31% and Multi-Asset Investing at 8%.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;



When you analyze alternative asset managers, remember that there are many moving parts and metrics to pay attention to.&nbsp;



For example, the most important metric is the growth in fee-earning assets. In Q1 2024, they rose 7% year-over-year to $781.4 billion. Those assets generated $4.47 billion in revenue in the trailing 12 months ended March 31, 4% higher than a year earlier.&nbsp;



In addition to the fee-related earnings, there are performance fees for beating their segment&rsquo;s benchmarks. In the 12 months which ended March 31, they were $1.18 billion, 52% less than a year earlier.



As a result, its segment distributable earnings fell by 17% to $5.65 billion. If its fee-earning assets fell over this period, that might have caused some concern, but that didn&rsquo;t happen.&nbsp;



Also, significant are the funds yet to be invested. These are referred to as &ldquo;dry powder.&rdquo; As of March 31, it was $191.2 billion, with private equity possessing the most at $80.0 billion.



I could go on and on about its quarterly results.&nbsp;



Although its shares are flat year-to-date, BX stock is up nearly about 49% over the past year and about 207% over the past five years.&nbsp;



It&rsquo;s an excellent proxy for alternative assets.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;



<h2>Dimensional World Equity ETF (DFAW)</h2>
