Trump, who still holds a majority stake in the company, was unharmed. However, the incident adds more volatility to an already turbulent stock.

Add in a MACD indicator of a negative 2.52 and an RSI of 36.38, and the signal is clear: Trump Media is in bear territory. Despite a recent bump after Trump announced he won't be selling his shares, the stock quickly fell back to reality.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Lock-Up Period Ending – More Fireworks Ahead?</h2>
Insiders at Trump Media are gearing up for the expiration of the lock-up period on Sept. 19. This could unleash a wave of selling from those who've been locked out, putting even more downward pressure on the stock.
The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/21/01/19152983/donald-trump-is-the-first-us-president-to-be-impeached-twice">twice-impeached former president</a> has vowed to hold onto his shares. Other insiders, meanwhile, may not be as committed, potentially making Trump Media stock even more volatile.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Revenue Woes Add To The Pain</h2>
The stock's rocky ride isn't just a case of bad timing or market sentiment. The company reported a 30% drop in second-quarter revenue, bringing in just $836,900, while the company's losses narrowed to $16.4 million from a year earlier. 
Trump Media is also facing operational headwinds that even his presence may not be able to fix.
As Trump Media continues its meme stock journey, investors are likely wondering if the narrative surrounding Trump and his media empire will ever translate into a more stable future.
For now, the Trump Media chart looks more like a political thriller than a success story.

Behind the Scenes of Occidental Petroleum's Latest Options Trends

Economist and Bitcoin skeptic Peter Schiff predicts a significant drop in Bitcoin's (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) value as silver and gold prices soar, sparking a fresh debate on the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/bitcoin-price-prediction">viability of digital currencies</a>.
What Happened: Schiff expressed his views on the recent market trends as silver broke above $31 and Bitcoin fell below $58,000, further fuelling his skepticism towards the digital currency. He <a href="https://x.com/PeterSchiff/status/1835631752611578063">suggested</a> that Bitcoin might be headed towards a retest of longer-term support at $15,000–$20,000.
In another tweet, Schiff dismissed Bitcoin as being digital gold or even digital silver.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">Silver just broke above $31 as <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Bitcoin?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Bitcoin</a> broke below $59K. Not only is Bitcoin not digital <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/gold?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#gold</a>, it&#39;s not even digital <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/silver?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#silver</a>.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
On Sep.13, Schiff stated that gold's total market capitalization is $17.2 trillion, up $5.7 trillion so far in 2024. Meanwhile, With Bitcoin trading at $58,400, its total market capitalization is $1.1 trillion. Schiff <a href="https://x.com/PeterSchiff/status/1834308989116710949">concluded</a>, "Gold&#8217;s 2024 market cap gain is already 5x Bitcoin&#8217;s total market cap."
Earlier this month, Schiff criticized investors for choosing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-spot-bitcoin-etfs">Bitcoin ETFs</a> over <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/gold-eft">gold ETFs</a>, stating they "bet on the wrong horse". He highlighted the underperformance of Bitcoin ETFs, which have gained less than 17% since their launch in January, compared to the largest gold ETF, SPDR Gold Trust ETF, which has risen 24% despite massive outflows.

Why It Matters: Schiff's comments come as the debate on the value and stability of digital currencies is increasing. His skepticism towards Bitcoin is well-known, with him previously arguing that the leading cryptocurrency <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/40818582/gold-bull-peter-schiff-claims-bitcoin-lacks-intrinsic-value-and-is-destined-to-fail">lacks intrinsic value</a> and is destined to fail.
His views are supported by recent market trends, with on-chain analytics provider CryptoQuant pointing out a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/40858231/bitcoin-decouples-from-gold-investors-leaning-towards-traditional-safe-haven-assets-crypto#:~:text=What%20Happened%3A%20The%20analytics%20firm,safe%2Dhaven%20assets%20like%20gold.">negative correlation</a> between Bitcoin and gold. As gold prices hit record highs, Bitcoin prices have been on a downward trend, suggesting a market leaning towards traditional safe-haven assets like gold.
While Schiff&#8217;s views are controversial, they highlight the ongoing debate on the viability of digital currencies and their place in the investment landscape.

BILL Holdings (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/bill#NYSE">BILL</a>) shares have outperformed the Zacks Computer &amp; Technology sector and its Zacks Internet - Software industry peer Intuit (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/intu#NASDAQ">INTU</a>) in the past month.
While BILL has moved up 5.7%, Intuit has risen 0.3%. The broader sector has dropped 0.8% over the same timeframe.
BILL&#39;s robust price performance has been driven by its impressive fiscal fourth-quarter 2024 results.
It registered 16% year-over-year growth in revenues. Core revenues, which included subscription and transaction fees, also rose 16% to $301 million. The upside was supported by BILL&#39;s ability to acquire new customers and expand its payment offerings.

<h3>BILL Holdings, Inc. Price and Consensus</h3>
<img alt="BILL Holdings, Inc. Price and Consensus" src="https://staticx-tuner.zacks.com/images/charts/c0/1726494702.png" style="height:283px; width:620px" title="" />
BILL Holdings, Inc. price-consensus-chart | BILL Holdings, Inc. Quote
BILL added a total of 11,300 net new customers in fourth-quarter fiscal 2024, with 4,600 customers from its direct and accounting channels and 6,700 from financial institutions. The retention rate for BILL standalone customers was 83%, demonstrating strong customer loyalty.
Nevertheless, investors should ask this question &mdash; will expanding clientele make BILL shares a good investment? Let&#39;s analyze.
</div>
<h3>Will BILL&#39;s Strong Portfolio Aid Prospect?</h3>
BILL is solidifying its position in the financial technology landscape with a growing portfolio and strong momentum across its Spend &amp; Expense solution.
In fourth-quarter fiscal 2024, BILL upgraded its payment engine and platform, revamped its mobile app and added local transfer options for international payments and FedNow support for instant transfers. This shows BILL&#39;s dedication to enhancing its financial solutions.
In the same quarter, its solutions were utilized by 475,600 businesses and transacted $76 billion in total payment volume.
The Spend and Expense solution (formerly known as Divvy) saw revenue growth of 26%, driven by a 28% increase in card payment volume. This solution added 1,300 net new businesses in fourth-quarter fiscal 2024.
BILL&#39;s expanding SMB clientele with the likes of Adyen (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/adyey#OTC">ADYEY</a>), Regions Financial (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/rf#NYSE">RF</a>) and Xero has been a key catalyst.
In June, the company partnered with Regions Bank to launch Regions CashFlowIQSM, a digital solution designed to streamline payments and enhance cash-management processes for commercial clients.
BILL&#39;s partnership with Adyen integrates advanced acquiring and issuing capabilities into its financial operations platform for SMBs, enhancing accounts payable and receivable solutions with Adyen&#39;s technology.
<h3>BILL&#39;s Q1 Outlook Looks Dull</h3>
Bill Holdings&#39; strong demand for its financial operations platform among SMBs is boosting top-line growth. However, a challenging macroeconomic environment, persistent inflation and high interest rates are a major concern as SMBs tighten their spending budgets on digital initiatives.
For first-quarter fiscal 2025, BILL expects revenues to be between $346 million and $351 million, indicating growth of 13-15% year over year. The Zacks Consensus Estimate is pegged at $348.07 million, suggesting a rise of 14.13% year over year.
Non-GAAP earnings per share are expected to be between 48 cents and 51 cents. The consensus mark for earnings declined 5.7% in the past 30 days to 49 cents.
<h3>BILL Stock &ndash; Buy, Sell or Hold?</h3>
BILL stock is not so cheap, as the Value Score of D suggests a stretched valuation at this moment.
The forward 12-month Price/Sales ratio for BILL stands at 4.32X, higher than its Zacks Internet - Software sector&#39;s 3.12X, reflecting a stretched valuation.
BILL Holdings currently carries Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) suggesting that it may be wise to wait for a more favorable entry point in the stock.

A recent post on the Bogleheads Forum illuminated a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/07/39577621/we-are-56-54-with-450-000-income-and-5-1-million-portfolio-but-live-in-a-pricey-area-with-our-14">common dilemma</a> for those nearing retirement: deciding whether to retire early.
A 57-year-old user, currently single and living in a low-cost-of-living area with no debt and a paid-off home, is contemplating retirement. With a current net worth of approximately $1.3 million, the user is trying to determine the right time to retire.

</ul>
Financial Overview
The user's financial situation includes:
• $750K in a 457(b) plan
• $275K in a Roth IRA
• $275K in after-tax accounts
• $30K in savings
All investments, except savings, are allocated in a 60/40 portfolio. The user plans to rely on a pension of $65K annually starting at age 60, which includes a 3% cost-of-living adjustment after the first four years. Social Security benefits of $6K annually are expected to begin at age 70.
The current spending is around $60K per year, though the user only spends $40K and is looking to add some extra cash for more enjoyable activities.

Key Concerns:
<ul>
<li>Health care Costs: The user will need to secure health care through the ACA exchange, estimated to cost about $500 per month.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Daily Activities: The user is uncertain about how to fill the next 30 years and plans to start volunteering while pursuing interests like playing in bands.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Decision to Retire: The user is seeking reassurance about the decision to retire now rather than work another year to slightly improve financial security.</li>

Forum members assured the user that their financial situation is secure enough to support early retirement. The pension, despite its lack of inflation adjustment in the initial years, along with existing investments, should comfortably cover expenses.
Regarding boredom, suggestions ranged from finding fulfilling activities and hobbies to maintaining flexible plans. Volunteering and other hobbies like playing guitar were noted as great ways to stay engaged.
Trending: This billion-dollar fund has invested in the next big real estate boom,<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/fundrise-flagship-fund"> here's how you can join for $10.</a>
Several users emphasized that retiring is deeply personal and not purely financial. They advised considering whether the current work is enjoyable or a source of stress. The consensus was that if financial concerns are minimal and personal fulfillment is prioritized, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/05/38761475/retire-early-or-retire-rich-man-asks-whether-its-better-to-retire-at-40-with-125-000-a-year-or-a">retiring now could be a wise choice</a>.
Overall, the majority agreed that the user is financially prepared to retire and should focus on what will bring personal satisfaction.&nbsp;
Retiring is as much about <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/can-you-guess-how-many-americans-successfully-retire-with-1-million-saved">personal readiness and happiness</a> as it is about finances. As one forum member aptly noted, "The only thing you can't buy is more time, so would you rather spend it working or doing whatever YOU want?"

I'm A Single 57-Year-Old With No Debt, $1.3 Million In Savings, And $65,000 Pension – Can I Retire Early?

Children&#8217;s Place, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLCE#NASDAQ">PLCE</a>) shares are pulling back Monday following large gains after the company posted a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/09/40818077/whats-going-on-with-childrens-place-stock-after-q2-earnings">second-quarter earnings beat last week.</a>
The Details:
Children's Place shares jumped last week following the company's second-quarter earnings release. Children's Place beat earnings expectations, though quarterly sales declined, which the company attributed to cost-cutting measures, significantly improved profitability. 
Additionally, stores saw a positive comparable store sales result for the first time since 2021, driven by stronger units per transaction and conversion metrics and improving traffic trends, while wholesale business rebounded with double-digit growth.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Though Children's Place stock is pulling back Monday, it remains up by more than 160% over the past five days. According to data from <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw">Benzinga Pro</a>, Children's Place shares are trading well-above the stock&#8217;s 50-day moving average of $7.31 and 53.68% of shares are being sold short which may be contributing to the volatility. 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy PLCE Stock: </h3>
By now you're likely curious about how to participate in the market for Children&#8217;s Place &#8211; be it to purchase shares, or even attempt to bet against the company.
Buying shares is typically done through a brokerage account. You can find a list of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-stock-trading-platforms">possible trading platforms here.</a> Many will allow you to buy ‘fractional shares,' which allows you to own portions of stock without buying an entire share. For example, some stock, like Berkshire Hathaway, can cost thousands of dollars to own just one share. However, if you only want to invest a fraction of that, brokerages will allow you to do so. 
If you're looking to bet against a company, the process is more complex. You'll need access to an options trading platform, or a broker who will allow you to ‘go short' a share of stock by lending you the shares to sell. The process of shorting a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock">stock can be found at this resource.</a> Otherwise, if your broker allows you to trade options, you can either buy a put option, or sell a call option at a strike price above where shares are currently trading &#8211; either way it allows you to profit off of the share price decline.
PLCE Price Action: According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw">Benzinga Pro</a>, Children's Place shares are down 16.2% at $12.17 at the time of publication Monday.
