In the face of a $35 trillion federal debt crisis, global asset manager BlackRock Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BLK#NYSE">BLK</a>) strategically advocated for Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) as a safeguard, potentially raising the upside potential of the world&#8217;s largest cryptocurrency.
What Happened: BlackRock noted concerns about the spiraling $35 trillion U.S. fiscal deficit, attributing it as a significant driver of growing institutional interest in Bitcoin, according to a paper authored by some of the top executives from the asset management giant, including BlackRock&#8217;s ETF Chief Investment Officer Samara Cohen and Head Of Digital Assets Robert Mitchnick.
&#8220;The growing concerns in the U.S. and abroad over the state of U.S. federal deficits and debt have increased the appeal of potential alternative reserve assets as a potential hedge against possible future events affecting the U.S. dollar,&#8221; the paper outlined. &#8220;In our experience with clients to date, this explains a substantial portion of the recent broadening institutional interest in Bitcoin.&#8221;
BlackRock, which manages around $10 trillion in assets, also described Bitcoin as a &#8220;unique diversifier&#8221; to hedge against fiscal, monetary, and geopolitical risks.

Why It Matters: BlackRock&#8217;s bullish observations followed former U.S. President Donald Trump&#8217;s vision to use Bitcoin to offset the U.S.&#8217;s $35 trillion debt, a step that was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/08/40152445/trumps-bold-plan-to-use-bitcoin-to-wipe-out-35t-us-debt-questioned-by-economist-justin-wol">heavily criticized</a> by influential economists like Justin Wolfers and Paul Krugman.

Bitcoin's Reserve Asset Appeal Increased Due To State Of US Federal Deficit And Debt, Says BlackRock: A Hedge Against 'Possible Future Events' Affecting The Dollar

In an opinion piece in the New York Times titled &#8220;Inflation Is Ebbing. Now the Fed Must Protect Jobs,&#8221; the inventor of Sahm&#8217;s Rule Claudia Sahm said the 0.5 percentage point <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/09/40926026/federal-reserve-delivers-bold-0-5-rate-cut-signals-further-easing-ahead">cut in policy interest rate</a> by the Federal Reserve signifies a change in the central bank&#8217;s strategy towards managing inflation and employment.
What Happened: The rate cut brings the federal funds rate to a target range of 4.75 percent to 5 percent, inching closer to pre-pandemic levels. The Fed&#8217;s decision indicates a shift from its focus on inflation, which has been on a downward trend for the past two years, to strengthening employment, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/09/19/opinion/federal-reserve-rate-cut-unemployment.html">wrote</a> Sahm in the Times.
Despite the rate cut, the funds rate remains high enough to deter some borrowing and spending, suggesting the Fed&#8217;s continued caution against inflation. However, the larger cut also reflects the Fed&#8217;s concern over recent indications of a labor market slowdown.
&#8220;Unlike many other central banks, however, the Fed has a mandate for maximum employment along with price stability, and the decision for a larger cut also signals that it is taking seriously recent signs of slowing in the labor market,&#8221; said Sahm, a former economist at the Federal Reserve Board of Governors.
Sahm noted that the decision was met with dissent, with Fed governor Michelle Bowman advocating for a smaller cut. Sahm said that the recent unemployment rate increase aligns with early recession trends, but the U.S. isn&#8217;t in or nearing a recession, with GDP growth on track. The Fed's half-point rate cut, termed a "recalibration" by Chair Jerome Powell, aims to reduce risks, though it has raised concerns about a potential economic crisis.
Additional rate cuts are anticipated as inflation continues to fall. Most Fed officials predict a further reduction of at least 1.5 percentage points in the funds rate by the end of 2025, assuming only a minor increase in unemployment, according to Sahm.

Why It Matters: This bold move by the Federal Reserve breaks a four-year streak of steady rates, surprising Wall Street analysts who had predicted a more modest 0.25 point cut. The larger reduction aligns with investor sentiment favoring a more aggressive easing approach at the start of the rate-cut cycle.
Earlier, Sahm had refuted claims of a U.S. recession despite market instability. She insisted that traditional indicators might not <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40177780/i-do-not-think-the-us-economy-is-in-recession-sahm-rule-creator-refutes-claims-amid-market-turmoil">accurately reflect</a> the current unusual economic cycle. Sahm later <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40389835/claudia-sahm-stands-by-sahm-rule-amid-criticism-from-jerome-powell-and-others-on-its-economic-signif">defended the relevance</a> of her economic indicator amid criticism.

Claudia Sahm Underscores Fed's Mandate to Protect Jobs, Says Additional Cuts Expected: 'The Time To Support The Labor Market Is When It's Strong'

Ahead of the 2024 presidential election, Vice President Kamala Harris is making strategic moves to win over voters through a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40937579/kamala-harris-and-oprah-winfrey-to-host-virtual-event-to-sway-support-from-key-battleground-states-o">high-profile virtual event</a> with former talk show host Oprah Winfrey.
What Happened: The event, titled "Unite for America," is hosted by Winfrey from suburban Michigan, a crucial battleground state in the upcoming election. 
The livestream features celebrities like Bryan Cranston, Jennifer Lopez, and Meryl Streep, alongside stories from ordinary voters to amplify Harris&#8217;s message.
More than 295,000 viewers tuned in on YouTube alone, with the event also being streamed on other major social media platforms. 
Winfrey introduced Harris, who spoke about her sudden rise to the Democratic nominee after President Joe Biden&#8216;s unexpected exit in July. 
"I felt a sense of responsibility, to be honest with you, and with that comes a sense of purpose," Harris said. 
During the event, Harris discussed her plans to reduce housing costs and cut middle-class taxes, answering questions from voters in Michigan and Virginia. Harris has been focusing on digital engagement and controlled interactions, aiming to connect with voters who primarily consume news online.

Why It Matters: The virtual event comes at a critical time for Harris, who has been gaining ground in recent polls. A <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/09/40949853/harris-in-trouble-new-swing-state-poll-shows-trump-gains-ground-in-key-battleground-areas-for-20">recent poll</a> shows Harris trending up in the 2024 election polls of nationally registered voters, posting her largest lead in the weekly Morning Consult poll this week in the head-to-head matchup against former President Donald Trump.
However, the race remains tight, with high-profile endorsements playing a crucial role. Harris recently received her second endorsement in 179 years from the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/09/40907893/kamala-harris-wins-second-endorsement-in-179-years-from-magazine-that-featured-works-from-nikola">oldest continuously published magazine in the U.S.</a>, which has featured works from luminaries like Nikola Tesla and Albert Einstein.
Additionally, Harris has been actively <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40933169/mark-cuban-teams-up-with-kamala-harris-to-protect-american-businesses-from-unfair-foreign-competitio">collaborating with influential figures</a> like billionaire entrepreneur Mark Cuban. Cuban recently teamed up with Harris to protect American businesses from unfair foreign competition, particularly from Chinese knockoffs.

Kamala Harris Tells Oprah Winfrey She Felt A 'Sense Of Responsibility' After Biden's Sudden Exit: It Came With A 'Sense of Purpose'

Noted data scientist, Thomas Miller of Northwestern University, recognized for his precise election forecasts, has made a prediction for the forthcoming Trump vs. Harris presidential election.
What Happened: Miller, who accurately foresaw the results of the 2020 presidential and Georgia senatorial races, has come forward with a new prediction for the 2024 presidential election, <a href="https://fortune.com/2024/09/18/trump-vs-harris-election-odds-who-will-win/">reported</a> Fortune.
Miller&#8217;s approach, which utilizes data from political betting sites rather than conventional polls, has shown high accuracy in the past. &#8220;Political betting sites are the best at predicting the wisdom of the crowd,&#8221; Miller stated to Fortune. He contends that while polls mirror past sentiments, betting odds can offer a more precise prediction of future outcomes.
For the 2024 presidential race, Miller is again employing PredictIt, a U.S. political betting site, for his forecasts. He observes that the site has a steady group of investors and provides current data, making it a dependable source for his analysis.
According to Miller&#8217;s model, Harris is presently leading Trump. He ascribes this shift to several factors, including the recent Trump-Harris debate and a crucial endorsement for Harris. If the current trend persists, Miller anticipates a substantial victory for Harris in the upcoming election.
&#8220;It's gone from a drastic landslide in Trump's direction to a drastic landslide for Harris,&#8221; said Miller. He said it would now take an equally dramatic shift in Trump&#8217;s favor for the ex-president to come back into contention. Miller said as things stood now it appeared as if Harris would win big on November 5.
Miller&#8217;s predictions have been remarkably precise in the past, making his forecast a significant point of interest as the election nears. His unique approach to election forecasting offers a new viewpoint on the potential outcome of the Trump vs. Harris race.
Miller&#8217;s analysis suggests that as of September 10, millions of Trump supporters likely shifted, triggering a ripple effect that could eventually benefit Harris, though few see it yet.

Why It Matters: A recent poll taken after the September 10 presidential debate from the Trafalgar Group <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40869086/trump-vs-harris-new-poll-reveals-post-debate-swing-towards-this-candidate-in-key-state">showed Trump overtaking Harris</a> in North Carolina, with 48.4% to her 46%. Despite an underwhelming debate performance, Trump gained a 2% shift from Harris&#8217; supporters, narrowing the previously slim lead she held in earlier polls.
The trends reported by Benzinga showed Harris <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/09/40949853/harris-in-trouble-new-swing-state-poll-shows-trump-gains-ground-in-key-battleground-areas-for-20">gaining ground</a> in key battleground areas. Furthermore, Harris posted a record 6-point lead in a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/09/40910999/trump-in-trouble-vice-president-harris-has-record-6-point-lead-in-2024-election-poll-after-debat">national poll</a> after the debate, indicating a strong momentum in her favor after the event.

Millions of Americans face tougher times managing their bills as inflation bites. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, about 40% of consumers say it&#8217;s getting &#8220;somewhat&#8221; to &#8220;very difficult&#8221; to cover their monthly expenses.&nbsp;
This struggle is set to deepen with the return of student loan payments, which paused for years during the pandemic. Add to that the cost of summer child care and vacations and it's no wonder many are feeling the heat. But there's one payment you can't afford to put on the back burner: your student loans.

Pushing student loans aside with everything else on your plate might be tempting, but ignoring them could land you in hot water. The restart of these payments in fall 2023 has forced many people to figure out how to squeeze them back into already-tight budgets. However, Orman stresses that this is one bill you can't sweep under the rug.

Orman offers practical advice for those overwhelmed: &#8220;Make a plan or a budget that works so you can pay [your student loans] each month.&#8221; Her suggestion? Start by trimming the fat from your spending.&nbsp;
&#8220;Give up eating out or other unnecessary expenses so you can start making your payments,&#8221; she advises. Cutting back on indulgences can free up the cash needed to keep up with loan payments and it's a simple step toward regaining control over your finances.

The silver lining is that the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/09/40879305/the-22-6-trillion-crisis-neither-harris-nor-trump-mentioned-but-its-the-top-concern-for-millions">Biden </a>administration has rolled out a new income-driven repayment (IDR) plan called the Saving on a Valuable Education (SAVE) Plan. This plan could offer significant relief to borrowers, especially those on the lower end of the income scale.
According to the Department of Education, single borrowers earning $32,800 or less and families of four earning $67,500 or less won't need to make any payments at all. Even those earning more will see some savings – at least $1,000 annually compared to older IDR plans.

"With the new guidelines, many people's payments will be cut in half," Orman explained. This makes it much more manageable to stay on top of those monthly payments, reducing the risk of falling behind. For borrowers feeling stretched thin, this adjustment might just be their lifeline.
There's no sugarcoating it – budgeting for loan payments can feel like a juggling act. But as Orman points out, it's a necessity. &#8220;People need to remember not to put off paying your student loans. It's not going away; it should be the first monthly bill you pay. You can't bankrupt your student loan.&#8221;

The head-to-head matchup between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris could come down to how several swing states fall in the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/2024-election"> 2024 presidential election.</a>
A new poll shows which candidate is making up ground in the key seven states.
What Happened: Harris has been trending up <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/09/40910999/trump-in-trouble-vice-president-harris-has-record-6-point-lead-in-2024-election-poll-after-debat">in 2024 election polls</a> of nationally registered voters, posting her largest lead in the weekly Morning Consult poll this week in the head-to-head matchup.
A new poll of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/swing-states">swing state</a> voters, which covers seven key battleground states, could show a different picture.
Here are the results from the September Emerson College swing state <a href="https://emersoncollegepolling.com/september-2024-swing-state-polls-trump-and-harris-locked-in-tight-presidential-race/">polls </a>with the results from August in parentheses:
<ul>
<li>Arizona: Trump 49% (50%), Harris 48% (47%)</li>
<li>Georgia: Trump 50% (48%), Harris 47% (49%)</li>
<li>Michigan: Harris 49% (50%), Trump 47% (47%)</li>
<li>Nevada: Trump 48% (48%), Harris 48% (49%)</li>
<li>North Carolina: Harris 49% (48%), Trump 48% (49%)</li>
<li>Pennsylvania: Trump 48% (48%), Harris 47% (48%)</li>
<li>Wisconsin: Trump 49% (49%), Harris 48% (48%)</li>
</ul>
The results show that Trump leads Harris in four of the seven states and is tied with the vice president in one state. Harris leads Trump in two states. Each candidate led three states in the August poll.
Trump gained support in one state and lost support in two states, with four states remaining the same from August. Harris gained support in two states and lost support in four states.
"There has been marginal movement in the presidential election since the late August Emerson swing state polls before the presidential debate," Emerson College Polling executive director Spencer Kimball said.

</ul>
Why It's Important: The seven swing states in question together represent 93 electoral votes in the 2024 election. Six of the seven states above were won by Biden in the 2020 election with Trump winning North Carolina. Several of the states were flipped from Trump's win in the 2016 election.
A Marist poll recently found how swing state voters in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin would vote in the 2024 election if it were held today. The race for Pennsylvania and Wisconsin was close with Trump and Harris tied in Pennsylvania and Harris leading by one point in Wisconsin.
In the state of Michigan, Harris had a five-point lead over Trump.
The three states together represent 44 electoral votes and could prove important in the 2024 election. Trump was the first Republican presidential candidate to sweep the three states since Ronald Reagan in 1984, <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/09/19/us-news/trump-harris-neck-and-neck-among-likely-voters-in-pennsylvania-and-wisconsin-veep-up-5-in-michigan-polls/">according </a>to the New York Post. Biden won all three of the states in the 2020 election.
All seven swing states see voters pick the economy as the top issue ahead of the election. Immigration, threats to democracy and housing affordability are also top voter issues in swing states.
With less than two months until the 2024 election, the race between Harris and Trump remains close and swing states continue to be one of the most monitored polling items given their importance.

Limbach Holdings, Inc. (LMB) Q2 2024 Earnings Call Transcript

Limbach Holdings, Inc. 2024 Q2 - Results - Earnings Call Presentation

<a href="https://investorplace.com">InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice &amp; Trading Tips</a>
<a href="https://investorplace.com/industries/industrial/">Industrial stocks</a> are vital to daily operations. Many investors are drawn to these companies due to their inherent need, whether it&rsquo;s a period of strong economic growth or an overall downturn. The need for industrials never changes on a macro scale. Investors typically feel safe investing in industrials regardless of the overall economic background.



During times of economic recovery, industrials may thrive due to their increased capacity to focus on producing new products, expanding their workforce, and building new facilities. This will allow for growth potential compared to struggling economic times, which may lead companies to maintain and not expand.



Below, I discuss three industrial stocks that investors should consider due to their share price appreciation, which has all more than doubled within the last year. These stocks offer strong growth potential in the near and long term.



<h2>Blue Bird (BLBD)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/hand-growth-stocks-1600-300x169.jpg" alt="Hand pointing up and to the right with blue arrow, symbolizes growth stocks. hypergrowth stocks"><div>Source: shutterstock.com/Lemonsoup14</div></div>Blue Bird&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a target="_blank" href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/blbd-stock-quote/">BLBD</a>) is a school bus manufacturer that sells natural gas, propane, electric, gasoline, and diesel buses. It also offers replacement parts and maintenance services.



Over the past year, its share price has increased by 131%, principally due to strong earnings growth and a large increase in total sales for its electric school bus models.



On May 8, Blue Bird announced its&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://investors.blue-bird.com/news-financial-reporting/press-releases/news-details/2024/Blue-Bird-Reports-Fiscal-2024-Second-Quarter-Record-Results-Raises-2024-Guidance-and-Long-Term-Outlook/default.aspx">earnings for the second quarter of fiscal year 2024</a>,&nbsp;in which it stated that total revenue increased by 15% and net income more than tripled to $26 million compared to the previous year. It also raised its total revenue projection for the full year 2024, which is now between $1.275 billion and $1.325 billion.



Blue Bird beat analyst expectations on earnings for the second quarter of FY 2024. It reported 500 electric school bus orders within its backlog, with total booking increasing by 56% year over year.



BLBD is an industrial small-cap stock that has been performing very well lately. All eyes are on earnings for the third quarter of FY 2024, which will be released on Aug. 7 after the market closes.



<h2>Powell Industries (POWL)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/lightning-volt-bolt-electric-1600-300x169.png" alt="neon pink and blue graphic of a lightning bolt"><div>Source: shutterstock.com/wacomka</div></div>Powell Industries&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a target="_blank" href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/powl-stock-quote/">POWL</a>) manufactures a wide range of primarily custom-made electrical products. It serves onshore and offshore oil and natural gas facilities, utilities, and data centers.



Over the past year, its share price has doubled due to a number of strong earnings reports and growth in new customer orders.



On Jul. 30, Powell Industries reported earnings for the&nbsp;<a href="https://powellindustriesinc.gcs-web.com/news-releases/news-release-details/powell-industries-announces-third-quarter-fiscal-2024-results" target="_blank">third quarter of fiscal year 2024</a>, stating that total revenue increased by 50% and net income more than doubled to $46 million compared to the year before. New customer orders for the quarter totaled approximately $356 million and a backlog valued at $1.3 billion.



The solid earnings report for the FY 2024 third quarter resulted in its share price skyrocketing by 38% following the release.



Powell Industries is poised for continued growth due to its large backlog and increased customer orders. Powell Industries has beaten analysts&rsquo; predictions on earnings growth for the last two years. When earnings for the fourth quarter of FY 2024 are reported, it could provide investors with impressive growth.&nbsp;



<h2>Limbach Holdings (LMB)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/construction-3-300x169.jpg" alt="An image of construction workers on a building construction site."><div>Source: Shutterstock</div></div>Limbach Holdings&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a target="_blank" href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/lmb-stock-quote/">LMB</a>) is a construction and engineering company that operates through a general contractor model and a direct relationship with the customer. It provides infrastructure management services, such as electrical, plumbing, and mechanical, for various institutions, including hospitals, manufacturing facilities, colleges, and sports centers.



On Aug. 6, Limbach Holdings announced its&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.limbachinc.com/news-events/press-releases/limbach-holdings-inc-announces-second-quarter-2024-results-2/">earnings for the second quarter of 2024</a>, stating that gross profits grew by 18% and net income rose by 12% year-over-year.



Over the past year, Limbach Holdings&rsquo; share price has more than doubled due to strong financial results, such as direct owner relationship revenue increasing by 40% year-over-year, which is its most commonly used business model.



Limbach Holdings offers investors decent growth potential due to constantly improving margins and new product rollout.
