If You Invested $1000 In This Stock 5 Years Ago, You Would Have This Much Today

<p>Kevin O&#8217;Leary, the well-known entrepreneur and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/12/42559810/people-think-kevin-oleary-is-the-mean-shark-but-he-says-im-not-mean-i-just-tell-the-truth-to-keep-families-from-going-broke">investor from Shark Tank</a>, has weighed in on why so many tech CEOs and business leaders are suddenly cozying up to President-elect Donald Trump. During a recent <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oML1qbX1_uM">interview</a> on Fox &amp; Friends, O&#8217;Leary said it's not just about Trump's corporate tax policies – the real reason is deregulation.</p>
<p>For context, Trump's policies, such as maintaining the 21% corporate tax rate, undoubtedly appeal to businesses. However, according to O'Leary, the bigger draw is Trump's commitment to cutting federal red tape, making it easier for businesses to grow and operate without constant legal battles and administrative hurdles.</p>

<li><strong>Can you guess how many Americans successfully retire with $1,000,000 saved?<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/1milsaved"><strong> The percentage may shock you</strong></a>.</strong></li>
<li><strong>‘Scrolling To UBI' — Deloitte's #1 fastest-growing software company allows users to earn money on their phones. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mode-mobile-2"><strong>You can invest today for just $0.26/share with a $1000 minimum.</strong></a></strong></li>
</ul>
<p>O&#8217;Leary pointed out that federal deregulation under Trump's administration is particularly attractive to companies involved in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/m-a">mergers and acquisitions</a>. He noted that Trump will "cool off all these pursuits and change many of the administrative rules that make it harder to get things done."</p>
<p>In simple terms, businesses see Trump as someone who will make it easier for them to operate without worrying about constant interference from regulators. That's a huge selling point for companies looking to expand or innovate.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">CEOs See Trump as &#8216;The Guy&#8217;</h2>
<p>O&#8217;Leary was direct about why CEOs are eager to meet with Trump. &#8220;They're not stupid,&#8221; he said. &#8220;They're saying, &#8216;Well, I think I'm going to go suck up with him because he's the guy for sure for the next two years.'&#8221;</p>

<p>This isn't just about tech leaders like Mark Zuckerberg or Jeff Bezos. O&#8217;Leary said leaders from various industries – and even other countries – are lining up to meet with Trump, recognizing his influence and power in shaping business policy.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Donations for Trump&#8217;s Inauguration</h2>
<p>Mark Zuckerberg and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/12/42479253/jeff-bezos-amazon-pledges-1-million-to-trumps-inaugural-event-following-in-the-footsteps-of-mark-zuckerberg-and-meta">Jeff Bezos have each contributed $1 million</a> through their companies, Meta Platforms and Amazon. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is joining them, making a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/management/24/12/42485193/sam-altman-to-donate-1m-to-trumps-inauguration-fund-following-zuckerberg-bezos-eager-to-support">personal donation of $1 million</a>. Perhaps surprisingly, the trading platform Robinhood has donated $2 million.</p>
<p>O&#8217;Leary highlighted that these donations represent a shift in attitude among business leaders. This is about aligning with Trump's vision for the economy and acknowledging his dominance in shaping the future of policy.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Trending: It&#8217;s no wonder Jeff Bezos holds over $70 million in art — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks"><strong>this alternative asset has outpaced the S&amp;P 500 since 1995, delivering an average annual return of 11.4%. Here&#8217;s how everyday investors are getting started.</strong></a></strong></p>
<p>Altman, for instance, has publicly praised Trump's commitment to advancing AI infrastructure, a sentiment echoed by other tech leaders. &#8220;President Donald Trump will lead our country into the age of AI and I am eager to support his efforts to ensure America stays ahead,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>The President-elect&#8217;s ability to remove regulatory roadblocks has made him an attractive ally for business leaders, regardless of their personal opinions about him.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why Deregulation Can Be Harmful</h2>
<p>While <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/11/42383725/trump-administrations-deregulation-efforts-to-lift-energy-oil-and-gas-sectors-ai-frenzy-to-aid-faang-stocks-and-nvidia-says-fintech-insider">deregulation is a win for businesses</a>, it can also result in significant drawbacks. <a href="https://www.imf.org/external/pubs/ft/wp/2013/wp13247.pdf">Reduced oversight</a> often opens the door to harmful practices, such as environmental damage, compromised safety standards and unfair labor practices. It can also mean fewer consumer protections, which could let businesses focus more on profits than on doing what's right for people.</p>

This Weyerhaeuser Analyst Turns Bullish; Here Are Top 4 Upgrades For Monday

<p><strong>Rumble Inc.</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RUM#NASDAQ">RUM</a>) shares are trading higher Monday after the company announced it entered into a definitive agreement for a $775 million strategic investment from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42634166/rumble-stock-soars-on-775-million-investment-from-tether-what-to-know"><strong>Tether</strong> (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">USDT</a>)</a>.</p>
<p><strong>The Details:</strong> Rumble on Friday announced that Tether plans to buy 103.33 million shares of its common stock for $7.50 per share, representing $775 million in gross proceeds. Tether offers the most widely used dollar <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/stablecoins">stablecoin</a> with more than 350 million users. </p>
<p>Rumble plans to use $250 million of the gross proceeds to support growth initiatives, while the remaining funds will be used for a self-tender offer of up to 70 million Rumble shares at the same price as Tether&#8217;s investment.</p>
<p>Rumble CEO <strong>Chris Pavlovski</strong> does not intend to sell more than 10 million shares of common stock in the tender offer. He will retain his controlling stake in the company.</p>
<p>&#8220;I could not be more excited about this collaboration with Tether for a number of reasons. First, many people may not realize the incredibly strong connection between the cryptocurrency and free speech communities, which is rooted in a passion for freedom, transparency, and decentralization,&#8221; Pavlovski said.</p>
<p>&#8220;Second, the immediate commitment of adding $250 million in cash to our balance sheet not only confirms the level of support and commitment to a collaboration between our companies, it also fuels our growth initiatives. And, third, this transaction provides an immediate liquidity event for all of our stockholders who elect to participate in the self tender offer.&#8221;</p>
<p>Rumble&#8217;s existing board and governance structure, including Pavlovski&#8217;s super-majority voting control, will remain unchanged following the closing of the transaction. </p>
<p>Tether will own a minority position in Rumble&#8217;s outstanding common stock, but will not have the right to designate any members of the board. The investment and tender offer are expected to close during the first quarter of 2025. </p>

Market Whales and Their Recent Bets on RUM Options

<p>President-elect<strong> Donald Trump</strong> has reignited trans-Atlantic trade tensions, demanding the European Union buy more U.S. oil and liquefied natural gas (LNG) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/tariffs">or face sweeping tariffs. </a></p>
<p>The U.S. is already Europe's largest energy supplier. Questions remain over whether Trump&#8217;s ultimatum will escalate into a broader trade war.</p>
<p>"I told the European Union that they must make up their tremendous deficit with the United States by the large-scale purchase of our oil and gas. Otherwise, it is TARIFFS all the way!!!" Trump wrote Friday on his social media platform, Truth Social.</p>
<p>U.S. natural gas prices — tracked by the <strong>United States Natural Gas Fund LP</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNG#NYSE">UNG</a>) — has risen by 25% since Trump&#8217;s election victory in November.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">US LNG: A Major Player In Europe's Energy Crisis</h3>
<p>The U.S. delivered 47 million tons (mt) of LNG over the past year (December 2023–November 2024), accounting for 51% of total U.S. LNG exports and 46% of Europe's LNG imports.</p>
<p>This surge in trade reflects a sharp pivot in Europe's energy strategy following the 2022 energy crisis sparked by Russia's invasion of Ukraine and subsequent sanctions on Moscow.</p>
<p>Goldman Sachs data shows that U.S. LNG deliveries to Europe rose 197% during the crisis, while shipments to non-European destinations fell by 41%.</p>
<p>According to Samantha Dart, commodity analyst at Goldman Sachs, this reallocation was made possible by the flexible destination clauses in U.S. LNG contracts, which allow buyers to redirect cargoes to the most lucrative markets.</p>
<p>"The US is not only Europe's largest LNG supplier but also the primary source of future LNG import growth for the region," Dart said, citing long-term contracts signed since the start of the Ukraine war. </p>
<p>These agreements amount to nearly 16 million tons per annum (mtpa), making the US the top global supplier in terms of contracted European LNG volumes.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Can US LNG Fully Replace Russian Gas?</h3>
<p>Theoretically, U.S. LNG could replace Russia's 17 mt of annual LNG exports to Europe, according to Goldman Sachs.</p>
<p>However, Dart indicating that such a shift would likely come with higher costs for European buyers.</p>
<p>"The reallocation of US LNG cargoes to Europe could lead to higher freight costs and elevated European import prices to motivate the rerouting of shipments originally destined for other regions," Dart said. </p>
<p>She added that such a move would have "little to no impact" on total U.S. LNG export volumes, given that US liquefaction capacity is already operating at its limit.</p>
<p>Goldman Sachs also highlighted that expanding U.S. LNG export capacity would take time, with new liquefaction facilities unlikely to come online before 2027 or 2028.</p>
<p>This timeline significantly limits the potential for a near-term increase in U.S. LNG exports to meet Europe's energy needs.</p>
<p>Yet, Europe's climate agenda may limit its willingness to commit to additional long-term LNG deals. "Europe's decarbonization goals might limit European companies' appetite for long-term commitments to grow natural gas use," Dart said. </p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Tariffs As A Trump Negotiation Strategy</h3>
<p>Trump's renewed focus on tariffs aligns with his broader economic agenda. During his first term, he used tariffs to push for concessions from trading partners, targeting allies like Canada, Mexico, and South Korea, as well as adversaries like China.</p>
<p>For example, during the 2018-2019 trade war with China, Beijing retaliated with LNG tariffs, causing US exports to collapse. It wasn't until 2020's Phase 1 trade deal that China resumed buying US LNG, signing long-term contracts that have since helped fund new US liquefaction projects.</p>
<p>Similar dynamics could play out with Europe if Trump's tariffs escalate. But unlike China, Europe may struggle to justify long-term LNG deals given its climate goals and reliance on diverse energy suppliers.</p>
