Editor&#8217;s Note: This article has been updated with additional details.
Howard Marks, co-chairman of Oaktree Capital Management, frequently employs analogies to demystify <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/investing">complex investment strategies</a>, believing that &#8220;Oftentimes, we're best able to understand something we're interested in through analogies that clarify the matter by establishing connections between it and other parts of life.&#8221; 
His latest <a href="https://www.oaktreecapital.com/insights/memo/the-indispensability-of-risk">memo </a>draws from a compelling chess article, underscoring the strategic similarities between the game and investing.
Marks cites the article &#8220;Chess Teaches the Power of Sacrifice,&#8221; which resonated with him due to its discussion on strategic sacrifices necessary in chess — a concept he equates to making investment decisions. 
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/04/38339754/netflix-stock-sized-up-by-7-analysts-post-q1-results-pivot-from-a-high-growth-low-p">Netflix Stock Sized Up By 7 Analysts Post Q1 Results: &#8216;Pivot From A High-Growth, Low-Profit Business To A Slow-Growth, High-Profit Business&#8217;</a>
Marks quotes chess grandmaster Maurice Ashley, &#8220;Many positions cannot be won or saved without something of value being given away, from a lowly pawn all the way up to the mighty queen,&#8221; to highlight that strategic losses in chess mirror the sacrifices made in high-stakes investing.
He relates this to buying U.S. Treasury notes, describing them as a &#8220;modest or &#8216;sham&#8217; sacrifice,&#8221; where the risk is low but so are the returns.
The philosophy of risk is central to Marks&#8217; investment strategy. He emphasizes, &#8220;No risk, no reward,&#8221; a principle vital in chess and financial markets. 
Marks also incorporates the wisdom of five-time world chess champion Magnus Carlsen, asserting, &#8220;Not being willing to take risks is an extremely risky strategy.&#8221; 
This idea supports Marks&#8217; view that managing risk intelligently is crucial for achieving substantial returns. Quoting Kenny "The Jet" Smith, he adds, &#8220;You have to give yourself a chance to fail,&#8221; underlining the inevitability of risk in pursuit of success.
Marks also highlighted the strategy behind Berkshire Hathaway&#8217;s achievements, led by Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger: &#8220;a lot of investments in which they did decently, a relatively small number of big winners that they invested in heavily and held for decades, and relatively few big losers.&#8221; 
This approach underscores the importance of a balanced portfolio over chasing perpetual high performers.
Marks concludes by reflecting on the broader implications of risk, stating, &#8220;The only sure way to achieve that is by not taking any risk. But … risk avoidance is likely to result in return avoidance.&#8221;

He noted that while Bitcoin&#8217;s momentum had stalled overnight, resulting in a three-legged move instead of a clean five-wave impulse, the cryptocurrency could still see an upward trend.

Hepion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HEPA#NASDAQ">HEPA</a>), a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company that has been developing a treatment for non-alcoholic steatohepatitis ("NASH"), hepatocellular carcinoma ("HCC"), and other chronic liver diseases, today announced that it has begun wind-down activities in its ASCEND-NASH Trial, while continuing to explore strategic alternatives, as previously announced in December 2023. &nbsp;
ASCEND-NASH is a Phase 2b, randomized, multi-center, double-blinded study with first patient screened in August 2022, to evaluate the safety and efficacy of rencofilstat dosed for 12 months, with a target enrollment of 336 subjects. Enrollment was paused in April 2023, with 151 subjects randomized. To date, approximately 80 subjects have completed their Day 365 visits and are evaluable for both safety and efficacy. An additional 40 subjects will provide significant safety data for evaluation. These patients will be added to our existing safety database.
"We are disappointed to announce the wind-down of our Phase 2 NASH trial, which we attribute entirely to resource constraints," said John Brancaccio, Executive Chairman of Hepion. "The Company remains committed to its strategic alternative efforts previously announced in December 2023. Given the number of enrolled NASH patients to date and the low probability of generating relevant efficacy data to support a registrational trial with our current cash resources, we have opted to wind down the program and assure that patients are transitioned out of the trial in a safe and compliant manner. There were no safety concerns observed for rencofilstat in the ASCEND-NASH trial."

Hepion Pharmaceuticals Initiates Wind-Down Activities In Phase 2b 'ASCEND-NASH' Trial

Six months after Microsoft Corp.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) acquisition of Activision Blizzard, Holly Longdale, executive producer and vice president at World of Warcraft, provided insights into the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/gaming/24/04/38150420/good-news-for-gamers-xboxs-sarah-bond-commits-to-game-preservation-creates-dedicated-team-for-futu">post-acquisition environment. </a>
In an<a href="https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/microsoft-has-let-blizzard-be-blizzard-following-its-acquisition-studio-says/"> interview </a>with Video Games Chronicle, Longdale revealed Microsoft has largely allowed Blizzard to maintain its autonomy: &#8220;There's no one asking us to do anything.&#8221;

&#8220;World of Warcraft is doing very well and they're very proud of what it's been able to accomplish, so it's almost like just let it be, and let it keep being awesome,&#8221; the executive added. &#8220;They've been tremendously supportive and it's like ‘let Blizzard be Blizzard.'&#8221;
Longdale also highlighted the benefits of being part of the Microsoft family, mentioning opportunities for communication and information sharing with other Microsoft-owned studios. She mentioned interactions with teams from Mojang and Elder Scrolls Online, suggesting that they could learn from each other&#8217;s experiences.
Despite Longdale&#8217;s positive perspective, the acquisition has not been without its challenges. 
Microsoft&#8217;s gaming division, including Activision Blizzard, underwent <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/01/36783057/microsofts-major-gaming-shake-up-1-900-layoffs-and-leadership-changes-in-post-acquisition-strategy">significant layoffs in January</a>, affecting 1,900 employees and resulting in the cancellation of projects such as Odyssey. 
In related news, Blizzard recently announced the upcoming expansion for World of Warcraft, titled &#8220;World of Warcraft: The War Within.&#8221; Although it may not match the impact of previous expansions, such as Dragonflight, anticipation remains high for its potential.

12 Information Technology Stocks Moving In Friday's After-Market Session

Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) has made a significant announcement regarding the price of the Meta Quest 2 virtual reality headset, reducing it to $199 permanently, half of its<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/gaming"> original price in 2020. </a>
This price cut also applies to accessories like the Elite Strap with Battery, The Verge<a href="https://www.theverge.com/2024/4/18/24134379/meta-quest-2-199-dollars-permanent-price-cut"> reported. </a>
Despite the release of the Quest 3, priced at $500, the Quest 2 remains an attractive entry point into VR, compatible with all Quest games except for exclusives for the Quest 3. 
See Also:<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/07/33413084/mark-zuckerberg-says-meta-quest-3-will-be-the-first-easily-accessible-mainstream-vr-headset"> Mark Zuckerberg Says Meta Quest 3 Will Be The First Easily Accessible Mainstream VR Headset</a>
While lacking certain features like color passthrough vision and optimal mixed reality gaming, it still offers value, especially for its capability to stream games from a PC or the Xbox cloud.
However, concerns linger about Meta&#8217;s long-term support for the Quest 2, given the company&#8217;s history of discontinuing support for previous models. 
Despite assurances from Meta CTO Andrew &#8220;Boz&#8221; Bosworth that support for first-party games would remain for &#8220;quite a while,&#8221; uncertainty remains regarding potential retroactive shutdowns of games on the Quest 2.
Nevertheless, there are compelling reasons to consider Quest 2. It stands out as Meta&#8217;s best-selling headset to date, constituting the majority of the 20 million headsets sold by Meta as of February 2023. 
Such was its demand during the pandemic that Meta even raised the price of this two-year-old device in 2022.

Cannabis Stock Movers For April 19, 2024

The tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 index closed Friday&#8217;s session down 2.1%, marking the worst day since late October 2023, and the fourth consecutive week of declines, a negative streak <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets">not seen since May 2022</a>.
On a weekly basis, the Nasdaq 100, which is closely tracked by the Invesco QQQ Trust (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), tumbled 5.3%, notching its worst performance since October 2022.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Chart: Nasdaq 100 Notches Worst Week Since October 2022</h3>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="495" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/19161211/image-129-1024x495.png" alt="" class="wp-image-300691" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/19161211/image-129-1024x495.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/19161211/image-129-300x145.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/19161211/image-129-768x372.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/19161211/image-129-1536x743.png 1536w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/19161211/image-129.png 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What Happened To Tech Stocks?</h3>
Friday&#8217;s downturn echoes an already pessimistic sentiment surrounding U.S. tech stocks. 
Delays in interest rate cuts, mixed guidance from corporate earnings, and growing geopolitical risks have formed a detrimental environment for tech companies. 
During the week, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell dismissed the possibility of rate cuts, citing a lack of confidence in the pace of disinflation. 
Renowned veteran Wall Street investor Ed Yardeni said: &#8220;The Fed is in no rush to lower interest rates,&#8221; suggesting the Federal Open Market Committee could afford to take &#8220;the rest of the year off.&#8221;
Adding to that, what really tanked tech stocks this week has been the broad-based losses within the semiconductor industry, triggered by weaker guidance from ASML Holding N.V. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASML#NASDAQ">ASML</a>) and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>).
The VanEck Semiconductor ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMH#NYSE">SMH</a>) experienced a 10% decline, marking its worst performance since January 2022, prompting investors to reassess the outlook for the artificial intelligence sector.
Even high-performing Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) was not immune to the downturn, plummeting by 12.9% this week, its most significant decline since August 2022.
Compounding the already complex situation were geopolitical tensions, with Israel responding to Iranian attacks within a week. Israel&#8217;s limited response eased the possibility of further escalation, yet it also underscored the failure to heed calls from President Joe Biden and other allies to refrain from retaliating.
As the week drew to a close, investors exhibited a lack of confidence in expanding their exposure to equity risks.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Technical Indicators Signal Bearish Trends For The Nasdaq 100</h3>
The Nasdaq 100 breached its 100-day moving average for the first time since October 2023, signaling a potential end to the six-month-long bull market.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="495" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/19154345/image-126-1024x495.png" alt="" class="wp-image-300656" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/19154345/image-126-1024x495.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/19154345/image-126-300x145.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/19154345/image-126-768x372.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/19154345/image-126-1536x743.png 1536w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/19154345/image-126.png 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
The breadth of the tech market appears exceedingly weak, with only 22% of stocks trading above the 50-day moving average, the lowest level since late October 2023. 
Additionally, a mere 9% of stocks are trading above the 20-day moving average.

Nasdaq 100 Notches Worst Day Since Late 2023, Worst Week Since Late 2022 As AI-Driven Chipmakers Tumble: Fed Can Take 'The Rest Of The Year Off'

A criminal trial for former President Donald Trump continued with the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/04/38326553/trump-hush-money-trial-has-12-jurors-here-are-the-7-men-5-women-to-decide-former-presidents-fate"> jury selection process</a> Friday, but saw a brief interruption outside as a protestor set themselves on fire.
What Happened: Entering Friday, the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/04/38251447/trump-hush-money-trial-preview-key-witnesses-2024-campaign-impact-prison-time-trump-could-face-i"> hush money trial against Trump </a>had selected 12 of the 12 jurors needed and one alternate out of six needed.
After the jury selection process was completed with a sixth alternate seated, attention by media covering the event shifted to a commotion in a designated protest area outside the courtroom, where a man set himself on fire. The incident ended up being shown briefly on television, and video of the man has circulated on social media.
The protestor is a man identified as Maxwell Azzarello of St. Augustine, Florida, according to a <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/live-blog/trump-hush-money-trial-day-4-live-updates-rcna145937">report </a>from NBC News.
At the time of writing, Azzarello is alive and in critical condition at the Weill Cornell Medicine – Burn Center.
Witnesses have recalled the man throwing pamphlets in a park near the courthouse. He later doused himself with an accelerant and lit himself on fire.
"The pamphlets appear to be propaganda-based, almost a conspiracy theory type of pamphlet. Some information in regards to Ponzi scheme and the fact that some of our local educational institutes are fronts for the mob. So, a little bit of a conspiracy theory going on here," NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny said.
Police officers helped put the man on fire out with fire extinguishers and coats. Four police officers have suffered minor injuries related to the fire, according to the report.
The NYPD spoke to Azzarello's family members, who said they were unaware he was in New York. It was believed that he arrived in the city earlier this week.
The Trump campaign issued a statement on the incident and sent condolences to witnesses.

Why It's Important: The fire briefly overshadowed the trial taking place in the New York City courtroom.
With six alternates now seated, the trial looks set to begin its next phase on Monday morning.
NBC News reported that many potential jurors questioned Friday expressed doubts about their ability to remain impartial in the case.
Some spoke positively about Trump and others questioned beliefs associated with the Republican Party, such as women&#8217;s rights. This could provide a look at what voters are thinking about heading into the 2024 election, NBC News said.
After the jury selection process was completed, lawyers for the prosecution and defense discussed what Trump's testimony could look like in the trial, including cross-examination.

Millions of Indian citizens started the voting process Friday in what will be<a href="https://in.benzinga.com/"> a six-week-long election process</a>. 
The election will serve as a referendum against Prime Minister Narendra Modi, a populist politician seeking his third term as the country&#8217;s leader. Narendra is a member of a right-wing Bharatiya Janata Party, which adheres to a Hindu nationalist ideology. 
He has supported economic initiatives that include allowing for more foreign investment into India's growing sectors. Because of India's massive population of nearly 1.5 billion, almost one-fifth of the world's population, the country is an attractive emerging market opportunity for foreign investors in the U.S. and other countries. Under Narendra's leadership, the poverty rate in India has dropped nearly 10% in the last decade, coming down to around 80% from 90%. The poverty rate, measured by MacroTrends, is measured by the amount of people earning less than $5.50 U.S. dollars a day.

Meanwhile, the Franklin FTSE India ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FLIN#NYSE">FLIN</a>) is up more than 50% since it debuted in 2018. Narendra is going for a third-straight term as the Prime Minister of India, but is not running without competition. A coalition of more than 20 parties, called the INDIA coalition, is opposing Narendra, but has not decided who will lead the country if successful. 
Polls predict that Narendra will win, <a href="https://apnews.com/article/india-election-voting-begins-7ea0983c9b7bc7506c8457f44afcfd64">according to AP News.&nbsp;</a>
