Kevin O&#8217;Leary, known as &#8220;Mr. Wonderful&#8221; on Shark Tank, is never shy about sharing his financial wisdom. In a series of interviews, he's laid out clear, no-nonsense advice about how much money you need to live comfortably and ensure long-term financial security. Here are the key takeaways from O&#8217;Leary&#8217;s perspective.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The $5 Million Milestone</h2>
O&#8217;Leary <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inxY8Kxa2R4">says</a> the ultimate goal for financial security is to have $5 million saved. Why this specific amount? With <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/12/42396510/why-kevin-oleary-thinks-its-easier-getting-to-5-million-from-1-million-than-getting-your-first-milli">$5 million in the bank</a>, earning 6-7% annually can provide a steady income stream to support you and your family for life, regardless of what happens.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

&mdash; Kevin O&#39;Leary aka Mr. Wonderful (@kevinolearytv) <a href="https://twitter.com/kevinolearytv/status/1695131494442803633?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 25, 2023</a></blockquote>

</ul>
"You can survive the rest of your life no matter what happens, and your family – you can take care of a lot of people," O&#8217;Leary explains. Once you reach that $5 million mark, O&#8217;Leary advises setting it aside and keeping it untouchable. After that, you're free to take risks with any additional money, investing it in opportunities that could grow your wealth further.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How Much Is Enough?</h2>
While $5 million may be the ultimate target, O&#8217;Leary recognizes that not everyone needs that much to live comfortably. The amount depends on your lifestyle.
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TcpVd9VmE7M">According</a> to O&#8217;Leary, with $500,000 in savings, you can generate 5% annual returns with minimal risk, enough to live modestly without needing additional income. If you&#8217;re comfortable with more risk, you could aim for returns of 8.5-9% by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-buy-stocks">investing in equities</a>.
However, he strongly advises against pouring your money into risky ventures like family-owned restaurants, bowling alleys or bars. "You'll lose your money on that," he warns.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Save $100,000 by Age 33</h2>
For younger people wondering how to start building wealth, O&#8217;Leary <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5T1FtXpZjO8">suggests</a> a concrete first goal: save $100,000 by the time you're 33. He acknowledges this might sound daunting but insists it's doable by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/what-is-the-50-30-20">saving 20% of your paycheck</a> and investing it to grow at 5-7% annually.
O&#8217;Leary is willing to give you a break if you miss the target – you have until 35 to hit the milestone. Why 33? He calls it the tipping point – the age when saving becomes critical. &#8220;If you haven't saved anything by the time you're 33, you're way behind the 8-ball,&#8221; he says.
Trending: Can you guess how many Americans successfully retire with $1,000,000 saved?<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/red-ventures"> The percentage may shock you</a>.
Hitting that $100,000 goal by 33 sets the stage for bigger milestones. O&#8217;Leary recommends aiming for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/07/39993957/can-you-guess-what-percent-of-people-have-500-000-saved-for-retirement-shockingly-its-probably-l">$500,000 by retirement</a> at 60, breaking the decades into manageable saving and investing chunks.
Kevin O&#8217;Leary's advice concerns three key principles: save aggressively, invest wisely and avoid risky ventures. Whether your goal is $100,000, $500,000 or $5 million, the key is starting early and sticking to a plan.
"It's all about lifestyle," O&#8217;Leary says. Understanding your financial needs and making informed decisions now can ensure you're comfortable – and even thriving – later in life.

Looking into the current session, Parsons Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PSN#NYSE">PSN</a>) shares are trading at $92.00, after a 0.27% decrease. Over the past month, the stock fell by 7.35%, but over the past year, it actually increased by 48.58%. With questionable short-term performance like this, and great long-term performance, long-term shareholders might want to start looking into the company's price-to-earnings ratio. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1735833608_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Parsons P/E Compared to Competitors</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. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of 35.06 in the Professional Services industry, Parsons Inc. has a higher P/E ratio of 131.79. Shareholders might be inclined to think that Parsons Inc. might perform better than its industry group. It's also possible that the stock is overvalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1735833608_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.

Brian Schaffner, Chief Executive Officer of Expion360, said, &#8220;We believe the HESS product line will benefit from a fast-growing battery energy storage market, and consumer uptake can rapidly scale with the introduction of products that improve price, flexibility, and integration.&#8221;
&#8221;We also anticipate HESS will benefit from incentives available through California&#8217;s Self-Generation Incentive Program and federal tax credits available through the Inflation Reduction Act for home battery systems.

In a separate release, the company reported fourth-quarter preliminary revenues of around $1.8 million—$2.0 million, up from <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/01/g42763612/expion360-reports-select-preliminary-unaudited-fourth-quarter-2024-financial-results" rel="noreferrer noopener">$1.4 million in the third quarter of 2024</a>.
Also, Expion360 sees a preliminary net loss of $450,000 &#8211; $350,000, a significant improvement from the $2.2 million loss in the fourth quarter of 2023, reflecting ongoing investments in<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" rel="noreferrer noopener"> product development and launches</a>.
Brian Schaffner stated, &#8220;We believe we are making significant progress against our goals with the ongoing expansion of our OEM relationships and distribution network to meet the increasing demand for high-quality lithium battery technology from existing and recent new customers including Scout Campers, Alaskan Campers, and K-Z Recreational Vehicles.&#8221;
&#8221;Our progress also expands beyond this vertical, having just announced that we will begin shipping our Home Energy Storage Solutions to our key integration partner, Wellspring Solar, in January 2025.&#8221;

In the current market session, Capital Southwest Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSWC#NASDAQ">CSWC</a>) price is at $21.94, after a 0.55% spike. However, over the past month, the stock fell by 3.86%, and in the past year, by 12.15%.

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1735832719_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Capital Southwest 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. 
Capital Southwest has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 17.14 of the Capital Markets industry. Ideally, one might believe that the stock might perform worse than its peers, but it's also probable that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1735832719_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price.

<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/chinese-stocks" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Chinese stocks</a> — including Alibaba Group Holding (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>), Baidu, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BIDU#NASDAQ">BIDU</a>), and JD.com, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JD#NASDAQ">JD</a>) — are trading lower Thursday as they resumed trading after New Year's Day.
China's Caixin/S&amp;P Global manufacturing purchasing managers' index for December fell to 50.5, below the analyst consensus of 51.7, CNBC <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/01/02/asia-markets-set-to-resume-trading-after-new-year-day-holiday.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">cites</a> a Reuters poll. 
The index compared to 51.5 in November and 50.3 in October, reflecting a slowdown as exports weighed on demand amid intensifying geopolitical tensions with the West in the form of a semiconductor embargo from the U.S. along with concerns over possible tariffs as threatened by President-elect Donald Trump during his presidential campaigns, CNBC cites Wang Zhe of Caixin Insight Group.

The official PMI for December,&nbsp;released Tuesday, came in at 50.1, below consensus estimates.
The iShares China Large-Cap ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FXI#NYSE">FXI</a>) and KraneShares Trust KraneShares CSI China Internet ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KWEB#NYSE">KWEB</a>), which represent Chinese equities, traded lower Thursday despite President Xi Jinping's assurances of policies to support economic growth during his New Year address.
China will reportedly increase <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42671739/chinese-stocks-surge-on-stimulus-plans-to-counter-us-tariff-risks" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">special treasury bond</a> issuance to 3 trillion yuan ($411 billion) in 2025. That&#8217;s up from 1 trillion yuan in 2024, to counter potential U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports.
China plans to boost consumption through subsidy programs for trading in old cars or appliances and upgrading large-scale equipment.
The funds will support investments in railways, airports, electric vehicles, robotics, semiconductors, green energy, and state bank recapitalization.
