What's left on the bucket list of a billionaire who has seemingly done it all? For <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/11/42089647/bill-gates-owns-275000-acres-of-farmland-which-grows-potatoes-for-mcdonalds-fries-and-he-eats-them-free-thanks-to-his-rare-mcgold-card">Bill Gates</a>, the answer is unexpectedly simple: "Don't die."
The quip came during a 2013 Reddit AMA (Ask Me Anything), where Gates, then the cochair of the Bill &amp; Melinda Gates Foundation, fielded questions about everything from eradicating polio to his favorite books. Known for his sharp mind and dry humor, Gates didn't miss a beat when asked about his personal bucket list, delivering the kind of witty, understated response he could pull off.
Don't Miss:
<ul>
<li>Can you guess how many Americans successfully retire with $1,000,000 saved?<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/1milsaved"> The percentage may shock you</a>.</li>
<li>With 100+ historic trademarks including some of the high grossing characters in history, like Cinderella, Snow White and Peter Pan, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/elf-labs-1">this company is transforming the $2 trillion entertainment market with patented AR, VR, and AI tech. — For a short window, investors are able to claim $2/share ($980 min).</a></li>
</ul>
At the time of the AMA, Gates was still the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/07/39600675/bill-gates-was-the-worlds-richest-man-for-a-record-18-years-his-secret-to-success-saving-like-a-">richest man in the world</a> – a title he'd held for years. With his Microsoft days behind him, his full focus was on philanthropy, tackling some of the world's biggest challenges like global health, education and poverty. So, it's fair to ask: what does someone who can visit Antarctica for fun, tour the Large Hadron Collider with his kids or fund groundbreaking vaccine research want to accomplish next?
Of course, Gates wasn't just thinking about longevity. Throughout the AMA, he offered thoughtful reflections on his work, values and legacy.
For instance, he explained why he and Melinda decided not to leave their children massive inheritances. "I definitely think <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/07/40015377/bill-gates-children-will-only-inherit-10-million-0-0077-of-his-net-worth-leaving-kids-massive-am">leaving kids massive amounts of money</a> is not a favor to them," Gates wrote. Inspired by Warren Buffett's perspective, he shared how this philosophy shaped his own approach to wealth and giving. "Some people disagree with this, but Melinda and I feel good about it."

When asked how he measures success at his foundation, Gates pointed to one of his core goals: reducing the number of children under five who die from preventable causes. "Amazingly, as health improves, families choose to have fewer kids," he said, noting the surprising ways improving health impacts broader global issues.
And while he's no longer the code-writing tech visionary who built Microsoft, Gates still enjoys dabbling in programming. "Not as much as I would like to," he admitted when asked if he still codes. "I write some C, C# and some Basic. I am surprised new languages have not made more progress in simplifying programming."
Trending: These five entrepreneurs are worth $223 billion –<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/arrived-homes-private-credit-fund"> they all believe in one platform that offers a 7-9% target yield with monthly dividends</a>
Despite his accomplishments, Gates's answers often revealed a grounded, curious side. He spoke of his love for tennis, bridge and "touring interesting things" with his kids – whether it's a garbage dump or a missile silo. He confessed his favorite book at the time, Steven Pinker's Better Angels of Our Nature and waxed optimistic about the future of energy, education and even robotics.
As one of the wealthiest and most influential people on the planet, Gates could probably write a bucket list that would put everyone else's to shame. But his AMA response distilled a truth that even billionaires can't escape: at the end of the day, the ultimate goal is just to keep going.
"Don't die" – equal parts humor and reality – might be the most relatable thing Gates has ever said.

Here's How Much You Would Have Made Owning Molina Healthcare Stock In The Last 20 Years

President Joe Biden received low approval ratings and scores on a four-year progress report in two separate voter polls ahead of his exit from the White House on Monday, Jan. 20.
Approval Rating Drops: Biden, who famously <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/07/39874057/biden-drops-out-of-2024-race-in-bombshell-announcement-it-has-been-the-greatest-honor-of-my-life">dropped out of </a>the 2024 presidential election, will now leave the White House after one term and see the Republican party take over with Donald Trump as the next president.
A new Emerson College <a href="https://emersoncollegepolling.com/january-2025-national-poll-democrats-republicans-and-independents-agree-u-s-is-on-the-wrong-track/">poll </a>showed Biden will likely leave the White House with low approval ratings.
The poll, conducted from Jan. 10 through Jan. 11, found Biden had a 37% job approval rating and 52% disapproval rating as he nears his exit.
Here is the approval ratings by political party, with the remaining percent neutral or no rating:
<ul>
<li>Democrats: 70% approval, 18% disapproval</li>
<li>Republicans: 10% approval, 85% disapproval</li>
<li>Independents: 33% approval, 50% disapproval</li>
</ul>
"President Biden closes his term with an approval rating 12 points lower than the first Emerson national poll in 2021 that measured the president's approval, at 49%," Emerson College Polling executive director Spencer Kimball said.
Since the 2021 poll, Biden's approval rating dropped 16 points for Democrats, two points for Independents and 10 points for Republicans.
The new poll also found that 67% of voters think America is on the wrong track, with 33% saying the country is headed in the right direction. When Biden started his presidency in 2021, 54% of voters thought the country was on the wrong track and 46% thought the country was headed in the right direction.

Biden Progress Report: A Gallup <a href="https://news.gallup.com/poll/655112/americans-little-progress-key-areas-biden.aspx">poll </a>conducted in December had its results published this week. The poll found that Americans see minimal progress in 18 key areas under Biden's leadership.
The poll asked voters to pick if the country made progress or lost ground during Biden's four years in office and gives a net progress score that is made up of progress minus lost ground.
Across the 18 economic, national and international issues, Biden only had a positive net progress rating for one item, which was the situation for gay, lesbian and transgender people (+16 points).
The worst scoring topics among the 18 questions for Biden on a net rating score were:
<ul>
<li>Federal debt: -56 points</li>
<li>Immigration: -51 points</li>
<li>Gap between the wealthy and less well-off: -50 points</li>
<li>Taxes: -37 points</li>
<li>Economy: -33 points</li>
</ul>
Biden received a score of over 50% saying the country lost ground in many of the topics, including federal debt (67%), immigration (64%), the gap between the wealthy and less well-off (60%), the economy (59%), the U.S. position in the world (58%) and crime (51%).
By political party, Biden saw a positive net rating in 14 of the 18 categories from Democratic voters and saw a positive net rating in 1 of the 18 categories from Republican voters.
Democrats gave Biden the best scores in the categories of energy (+51), nation's infrastructure (+42) and trade relations with other countries (+42). Republicans gave Biden a positive rating on the situation for gay, lesbian and transgender people (+6), while climate change (-22) and race relations (-22) were the next highest-scoring categories.
The Gallup poll offers comparisons between past presidents with the new poll showing the progress the country had from Trump to Biden. Past polls have shown progress made from George W. Bush's second term to Barack Obama and to Trump.
Biden had an average of -27 points for the 18 categories, compared to -12 points for Trump and -12 points for Obama.
Biden saw an improvement in only one of the 18 categories, compared to Trump having six categories improved from Obama's presidency, and Obama having four categories improved from Bush's second term.
Gallup notes that recent presidents have not scored high on the multi-point progress point, even Obama who had "relatively high job approval ratings" when he left office.

Microstrategy, Inc. (MSTR) today experienced a Power Inflow, a significant event for those who follow where smart money goes and value order flow analytics in their trading decisions. 
Today, at 10:58 AM on January 14th, a significant trading signal occurred for Microstrategy, Inc. (MSTR) as it demonstrated a Power Inflow at a price of $338. This indicator is crucial for traders who want to know directionally where institutions and so-called "smart money" moves in the market.

The Power Inflow points to a possible uptrend in Microstrategy&#8217;s stock, marking a potential entry point for traders looking to capitalize on the expected upward movement. Traders with this signal closely watch for sustained momentum in Microstrategy&#8217;s stock price, interpreting this event as a bullish sign.
Signal description
Order flow analytics, aka transaction or market flow analysis, separate and study both the retail and institutional volume rate of orders (flow). It involves analyzing the flow of buy and sell orders, along with size, timing, and other associated characteristics and patterns, to gain insights and make more informed trading decisions. This particular indicator is interpreted as a bullish signal by active traders.&nbsp;
The Power Inflow occurs within the first two hours of the market open and generally signals the trend that helps gauge the stock&#8217;s overall direction, powered by institutional activity in the stock, for the remainder of the day.&nbsp;
By incorporating order flow analytics into their trading strategies, market participants can better interpret market conditions, identify trading opportunities, and potentially improve their trading performance. But let's not forget that while watching smart money flow can provide valuable insights, it is crucial to incorporate effective risk management strategies to protect capital and mitigate potential losses. Employing a consistent and effective risk management plan helps traders navigate the uncertainties of the market in a more controlled and calculated manner, increasing the likelihood of long-term success

<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Aggressive Buying</h4>
An enlarged chart of SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) which represents the benchmark stock market index S&amp;P 500 (SPX).
Note the following:
<ul>
<li>The chart shows that yesterday the stock market fell below the breakout line but recovered from the lows later in the session.</li>
<li>The chart shows the support zone.&nbsp; The support zone is a natural place to contain any stock market correction.</li>
<li>The chart shows the stock market is attempting to cross the breakout line to the upside after the release of Producer Price Index (PPI) data.</li>
<li>Inflation at the producer level came cooler than expected.&nbsp; Here are the details:
<ul>
<li>Headline PPI came at 0.2% vs. 0.3% consensus.</li>
<li>Core PPI came at 0.0% vs. 0.2% consensus.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>In The Arora Report analysis, PPI does not paint an accurate picture of inflation in the U.S. because of the high percent of goods produced in China and China is currently experiencing deflation.</li>
<li>As Inauguration Day approaches, details of Trump's tariffs plan are emerging.&nbsp; The latest report is that Trump's team is discussing slowly increasing tariffs by 2% &#8211; 5% per month.&nbsp; The strategy is designed to reduce any potential spike in inflation while providing negotiating leverage with other countries, including China.</li>
<li>China is deciding what to do with TikTok and the looming ban in the U.S.  There is a report that Chinese officials are discussing the possibility of selling TikTok to Elon Musk, who is the CEO of social media platform X as well as the CEO of one of the Magnificent Seven stocks Tesla Inc.  TSLA stock has become an indicator of market sentiment.  TSLA stock jumped up on the TikTok news.</li>
<li>In the early trade, investors are aggressively buying stocks on excitement over PPI, Trump's tariff approach and Musk potentially buying TikTok.</li>
<li>Consumer Price Index (CPI) will be released tomorrow at 8:30am ET and may be market moving.</li>
<li>In The Arora Report analysis, prudent investors should wait for CPI before any major moves.</li>
<li>Prudent investors should note that the rally in long bonds on weaker PPI data has met with selling.&nbsp; As of this writing, the long bond has not only given up the gains; it is now negative.&nbsp; Here is the question for investors: Will the stock market pay attention to the bond market? If the stock market starts paying attention to the bond market, early gains in the stock market may reverse.</li>

<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Bitcoin</h4>
Buying in Bitcoin spiked on cooler PPI, but the rally has met with selling.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Protection Band And What To Do Now</h4>
It is important for investors to look ahead and not in the rearview mirror.&nbsp; The proprietary protection band from The Arora Report is very popular.&nbsp; The protection band puts all of the data, all of the indicators, all of the news, all of the crosscurrents, all of the models, and all of the analysis in an analytical framework that is easily actionable by investors.
Consider continuing to hold good, very long term, existing positions. Based on individual risk preference, consider a protection band consisting of cash or Treasury bills or short-term tactical trades as well as short to medium term hedges and short term hedges. This is a good way to protect yourself and participate in the upside at the same time.
You can determine your protection bands by adding cash to hedges.&nbsp; The high band of the protection is appropriate for those who are older or conservative. The low band of the protection is appropriate for those who are younger or aggressive.&nbsp; If you do not hedge, the total cash level should be more than stated above but significantly less than cash plus hedges.
A protection band of 0% would be very bullish and would indicate full investment with 0% in cash.&nbsp; A protection band of 100% would be very bearish and would indicate a need for aggressive protection with cash and hedges or aggressive short selling.
It is worth reminding that you cannot take advantage of new upcoming opportunities if you are not holding enough cash.&nbsp; When adjusting hedge levels, consider adjusting partial stop quantities for stock positions (non ETF); consider using wider stops on remaining quantities and also allowing more room for high beta stocks.&nbsp; High beta stocks are the ones that move more than the market.

Probability based risk reward adjusted for inflation does not favor long duration strategic bond allocation at this time.
Those who want to stick to traditional 60% allocation to stocks and 40% to bonds may consider focusing on only high quality bonds and bonds of five year duration or less.&nbsp; Those willing to bring sophistication to their investing may consider using bond ETFs as tactical positions and not strategic positions at this time.

$1000 Invested In This Stock 15 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

Former hedge fund manager Whitney Tilson is running for mayor of New York City and he picked up an endorsement from Bill Ackman, one of the most recognized voices in th<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/bill-ackman">e world of finance.</a>
What Happened: Tilson, who is an investor and editor at Stansberry Research, announced his run for mayor back in November, but a new video and the Ackman endorsement could bring more attention to his fight against the current mayor, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/eric-adams">Eric Adams, </a>and other candidates.
"Our great city is headed in the wrong direction," Tilson <a href="https://x.com/WhitneyTilson/status/1878814057790378175">said </a>in the video. "It's time to fight for New York's future."
The video shows images and article headlines of higher crime in the city, unsafe subways and residents hit hard with inflation. Tilson says in the video that thriving businesses are shutting down and families are leaving as they can't afford to live there, and the neighborhoods are no longer safe.
Tilson, who raised his family in New York City, expresses his confidence in the city's comeback in the video.
"I believe our best days are still ahead."
Tilson says he will represent "all New Yorkers" as mayor and help bring safety, affordability and prosperity back to the city.
"New York City is the greatest city in the world."
Ackman <a href="https://x.com/BillAckman/status/1878819267115712811">shared </a>the Tilson video and called the former hedge fund manager "the candidate to watch."
"I have known @WhitneyTilson since college. He has made a career giving back," Ackman tweeted.
Ackman said Tilson is a lifelong Democrat who is also "a smart economically rational one."
"He is pro-business, anti-waste and identity politics, and wants to make NYC great again."
Ackman said that people shouldn't want New York City to become San Francisco or Los Angeles and that Tilson can help save the city.

Why It's Important: New York City Mayor Eric Adams was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41047664/fbi-raids-nyc-mayor-eric-adams-as-sealed-indictment-nears">indicted on federal charges</a> last year and awaits a trial after pleading not guilty. Adams became the first mayor in the city&#8217;s history to be charged with federal crimes while in office.
Tilson is one of several people running in the mayoral election that will be held in November 2025. Adams is currently running for re-election, but his indictment could put another win in jeopardy.
As a former hedge fund manager and investor, Tilson is well-known to many in the finance world, but he may be less familiar with other New Yorkers. The endorsement by Ackman could help spread his platform to more people.
Tilson calls himself the only "change candidate" in the Democratic primary and also highlights that he is the only person running who isn't a career politician. Tilson also highlights his business background.
The campaign video shows Tilson's famous "60 Minutes" interview where he helped expose issues at Lumber Liquidators, a hardwood flooring company that went bankrupt in 2024.
A recent poll showed strong backing in the mayor race for former New York governor Andrew Cuomo at 32%, as reported by <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/01/13/poll-cuomo-dominates-nyc-mayoral-field-00197761">Politico</a>. Cuomo has not announced his running in the election. Former city comptroller Scott Stringer received 10% of the vote with Adams getting 6%. Tilson was not listed in the poll results.

Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) is scheduled to release fourth-quarter earnings on Jan. 29. Ahead of the earnings report, Goldman Sachs shared its views on Meta&#8217;s earnings potential. Here&#8217;s what <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/01/42986509/meta-platforms-announces-performance-based-job-cuts-whats-going-on">you need to know</a>. 
The Details: Goldman Sachs analyst Eric Sheridan maintained a Buy rating on Meta and raised the 12-month price target from $630 to $688 to reflect higher revenue estimates on the back of positive channel checks. 
The Goldman analyst highlighted the possibility for Meta to achieve compounded mid-teens revenue growth in the fourth quarter and sustain that momentum into 2025.
In the note, Sheridan pointed to several advertising opportunities to support his outlook, including the potential for Meta to boost advertising revenue by increasing ad load on Reels. The Goldman analyst also believes that Meta has yet to fully utilize WhatsApp and Messenger for ad revenue. 
Sheridan noted that Meta has significant untapped potential in areas such as click-to-message ads and paid messaging. The analyst also acknowledged the possibility of advertising dollars being redistributed to platforms like Meta if the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act is upheld and TikTok is banned in the U.S.
&#8220;Based on our advertising checks, Meta continues to see strong momentum in its core advertising business and should drive above-industry topline growth over the next several quarters,&#8221; Sheridan said in the note.

Additionally, the analyst sees upside potential for Meta from several long-term AI revenue opportunities, including sponsored search results within Meta AI conversations and licensing its Llama AI models for enterprise use. However, Sheridan noted that these products are early in their lifecycles, and better visibility into their development and adoption is needed before factoring them into forecasts as material revenue drivers.
&#8220;We see a path to Meta delivering toward the top end of its revenue guidance range for Q4'24 and sustained ~mid-teens % total revenue growth through 2025,&#8221; the Goldman analyst said.
Meta is due to report earnings after the market close on Jan. 29. Analysts expect the company to report earnings of $6.77 per share and revenue of about $47 billion, according to estimates from <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.
META Price Action: Meta shares closed Tuesday down 2.31% at $594.25, according to data from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>.
