<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy IREN Stock</h2>
Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share &#8211; or fractional share &#8211; of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument. 
For example, in Iris Energy's case, it is in the Information Technology sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.

Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) shares are trading lower Wednesday on the heels of the company&#8217;s second-quarter financial results. The EV maker noted that it expects 2024 vehicle <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/07/39918390/tesla-q2-earnings-highlights-revenue-beat-eps-miss-robotaxi-update-2024-growth-rate-to-be-notably-l">volume growth to be lower than in 2023</a>.
What Happened: Tesla said second-quarter revenue increased 2% year-over-year to $25.5 billion, beating the consensus estimate of $24.73 billion, according to estimates from <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>. The company reported adjusted earnings of 52 cents per share, missing analyst estimates of 62 cents per share. 
Tesla&#8217;s earnings miss appears to be due to continued pressure on its auto business. Automotive revenue fell 7% year-over-year as earnings margins declined. 
Tesla produced 410,831 vehicles in the second-quarter, down 14% year-over-year, and delivered 443,956 vehicles, down 5% year-over-year. The EV maker ended the quarter with 6,473 Supercharger stations. Tesla noted that it had record energy storage of 9.4 GWh in the second quarter.
Tesla said it expects a sequential increase in production in the third quarter, but warned that vehicle growth may be notably slower overall this year compared to last year. 
&#8220;In 2024, our vehicle growth rate may be notably lower than the growth rate achieved in 2023, as our teams work on the launch of the next generation vehicle and other products,&#8221; the company warned. 
Tesla said it has enough cash on hand and liquidity available to build out its product roadmap and complete its long-term expansion plans.
Late Tuesday, CEO Elon Musk posted a <a href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1815907844434112999">poll</a> on X asking users to vote on whether Tesla should invest $5 billion in Musk&#8217;s artificial intelligence startup xAI. At the time of writing, 68.6% of respondents were in favor of the move.

A Bitcoin-oriented startup has announced the launch of a fund that allows Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) holders to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/22/05/27411677/portuguese-parliament-dismisses-bill-asking-to-tax-bitcoin-ethereum-and-other-cryptocurren">acquire Portuguese citizenship</a>.
What Happened: The so-called &#8220;Unbound Fund&#8221; introduced by entrepreneur and Bitcoin advocate Alessandro Palombo, offers a unique proposition: acquire Portuguese and EU citizenship by indirectly holding Bitcoin worth €500,000 ($542,000) through a Golden Visa eligible fund. This approach is to combine a cryptocurrency investment with the benefits of European residency and citizenship.
The fund aims to be radically transparent about costs and capital efficient and invests in BlackRock&#8216;s iShares Bitcoin Trust (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBIT#NASDAQ">IBIT</a>) as a vehicle to hold Bitcoin. Under Portuguese law, investing a minimum of €500,000 in a qualifying investment can make one eligible for a so-called Golden Visa.

Why It Matters: The introduction of Unbound Fund marks a significant shift in the intersection of cryptocurrency and citizenship acquisition. It leverages the growing popularity of Bitcoin and the appeal of EU citizenship to create a unique investment opportunity.
Palombo&#8217;s <a href="https://x.com/0x_ale/status/1815683546670858685">tweet</a> also highlights the potential of Bitcoin as a tool for freedom of movement. This aligns with the broader trend of cryptocurrencies being used to facilitate international transactions and mobility.
As the first Golden Visa-eligible fund offering exposure to Bitcoin, Unbound Fund could set a precedent for similar initiatives in the future.

Vintage Wine Estates, Inc. - Common Stock

Vintage Wine Estates shares are trading lower after the company announced a bankruptcy filing and a voluntary delisting and SEC deregistration.

The sell-off in the shares of Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) and Alphabet, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) did not go down well with CNBC Mad Money host Jim Cramer. He aired his view on the sell-off through a series of posts on the social-media platform X, owned by Tesla CEO Elon Musk.
What Happened: Tesla shares fell about 9% and Google-parent Alphabet over 4% in premarket trading. Commenting on the stock moves, Cramer said, &#8220;Wonder if any of the sellers of Google or Tesla actually listened to the conference calls last night because anyone who did knows these companies are doing extremely well.&#8221;
&#8220;It is ALL zeitgeist and an attempt to get CEOs to say they are spending too much on AI,&#8221; he added.

&mdash; Jim Cramer (@jimcramer) <a href="https://twitter.com/jimcramer/status/1816044695165825405?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 24, 2024</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Tesla is ramping up efforts to bring its full self-driving technology to fruition. Just after the earnings call, Musk ran a poll on whether Tesla should invest $5 billion in his xAI venture.
Alphabet hinted at an acceleration in its capital spending plans to stay ahead of the rest of its AI peers. Deepwater Asset Management&#8217;s Gene Munster said the company runs the risk of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/07/39925881/alphabet-investors-fret-over-margin-impact-of-higher-ai-related-capex-but-fund-mana">losing its grip on the future if it doesn&#8217;t grow CapEx at a 70%+ rate.</a>
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-tech-stocks">Best Tech Stocks Right Now</a>
Tesla Poses Triple Threat: Tagging Musk, Cramer said he loved the quarter because &#8220;it shows you will be the leader in self-drive AND robotics AND grid electric flow.&#8221; &#8220;Triple threat man!&#8221; he added. 
Cramer expressed his optimism concerning the electric vehicle maker in a separate post. &#8220;I know that Tesla&#8217;s stock is down in after hours but, holy cow, what a terrific conference call: tutorial on autonomy, humanoids, batteries&#8230;really impressive,&#8221; he said.
Not many may buy into this argument as critics <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/07/39924771/bubble-fraud-tesla-worth-around-8-40-per-share-stock-valuation-under-scrutiny-as-ev">questioned the valuation of the stock</a> amid the earnings miss and sizeable benefit bestowed by the zero emission-vehicle credit, which is one-time in nature.
Sell-offs Motive: Cramer said the sell-off has a mind of its own. While there was nothing wrong with Google&#8217;s results, Tesla has a lot of things going for it that no one cares about now but will matter years down the road, he said.
&#8220;A lot of this selloff has to do with the endless desire to get the small-cap v. Mag 7 nonsense going,&#8221; he said, adding &#8220;It&#8217;s just supposed to be this giant shift of money out of Mag 7 into the small-cap. It&#8217;s &#8216;the&#8217; hot flavor narrative.&#8221;
He also recommended against moving money out of mega-caps and artificial intelligence into &#8220;lousy&#8221; small-caps that &#8220;aren&#8217;t worth nearly as much as we are going to take them to.&#8221;
The iShares Russell 2000 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IWM#NYSE">IWM</a>), which tracks the small-cap focused Russell 2,000 Index, fell 0.50% to $221.52 in premarket trading, according to <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro data.</a>

Tesla To Rally Around 22%? Here Are 10 Top Analyst Forecasts For Wednesday

If millennials needed one more reason to say the housing market is rigged against them, this is it.&nbsp;
Property taxes are designed to fund local services like schools, libraries, parks, trails, and other local facilities that make a community a great place to live. But rising inflation has meant rising property taxes, leaving some homeowners struggling to make up the difference.&nbsp;
Don't Miss:
<ul>
<li>This platform allows individuals to invest in commercial real estate with as little as $5,000<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/marcus-millichap-backed-platform-makes-it-easy-to-invest-in-real-estate"> offering a 12% target yield with a bonus 1% return boost today</a>.</li>
<li>This Jeff Bezos-backed startup will allow you to<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/bezos-landlord-100-dollars"> become a landlord in just 10 minutes, and you only need $100</a>.</li>
</ul>
Theoretically, everyone pays their portion of the pie, with homeowners in the most valuable properties paying the most. Properties are typically assessed annually, so whether you bought your home in 1975 or 2020 shouldn&#8217;t make a difference. But what if that isn&#8217;t the case?&nbsp;
With escalating inflation, some states have measures to limit maximum annual increases – with varying degrees of success. This year, Alabama, Wyoming, and Kansas enacted laws designed to protect homeowners from future astronomical tax hikes. Realtor.com reports that, in November, voters in Colorado and Georgia will weigh in on similar proposals.
However, realtor.com says the most controversial example comes from Georgia's Muscogee County. In 1982, voters approved a local ordinance freezing property taxes for existing homeowners. Since then, longtime homeowners have benefited from almost nonexistent <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/partner/real-estate/24/07/39664963/you-may-be-spending-more-on-property-taxes-than-you-need-to-save-on-taxes-with-ownwell-and-on">property taxes by today&#8217;s standards</a>.

Suzanne Widenhouse, the county's chief appraiser, reported that two similar homes, each worth about $330,000, had a whopping $3,228 difference in their tax bill. One, owned by the same person since 1980, had to pay just $8 in property taxes, while the other, purchased in 2017, owed $3,236.&nbsp;
What is a fair property tax? That&#8217;s the real question with this disparity. Two homeowners with similar properties should pay a similar amount. But is $3,236 or about $270 a month for a home under the average price in many areas fair?&nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Does the local municipality have the funds to offer services, and does it add value for homeowners?&nbsp;</h2>
And what is proportional? In some areas, home values have jumped 54% in the past five years, according to the Case-Schiller home price index. Last year, state and local governments collected about $760 billion in property taxes, up 31% from 2018. That&#8217;s great for cities but one more burden for homeowners who struggle with rising inflation in other areas.&nbsp;
Is a cap the solution? In Washington state, which has had a 1% annual property tax cap since 2001, local municipalities can&#8217;t <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/costs-of-buying-a-home">keep up with rising costs</a>, leading to shortages or reduced services.&nbsp;
What&#8217;s the solution? A happy medium price cap? No price cap? A nationwide policy that overrides states&#8217; autonomy? We want to know what you think. Weigh in below!
