Elon Musk is the $400 billion man no longer; now he's just the $395 billion man.   Elon Musk’s net worth dipped below the $400 billion mark for the first time in 2025, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. On Monday alone, Musk’s fortune declined by more than $7 billion, driven by a 3% drop in Tesla (TSLA) shares — which make up roughly one-third of his total wealth. The downward trend continued Tuesday morning, with Tesla stock sliding an additional 4%, pushing his estimated net worth to $384 billion, according to Forbes. Musk initially crossed the $400 billion threshold back in December, when Tesla’s stock skyrocketed following Donald Trump’s re-election victory. At the time, investors rallied behind the EV giant, expecting regulatory and business advantages stemming from Musk’s close ties to the new administration. According to Bloomberg, Musk reportedly spent at least $277 million in support of Trump’s campaign. In return, he was appointed to lead the administration’s ...

Stocks to watch in 2025 — What to watch for Stocks are entering 2025 with mixed momentum.

World Gold Council Predicts "Much Slower" Growth for Gold in 2025 Gold prices are expected to experience more modest growth in 2025, following a record-breaking year in 2024, according to the World Gold Council's 2025 outlook. After reaching multiple record highs and delivering its best annual performance in a decade, gold is set for slower growth next year. The 28% surge in gold prices through November was driven by central bank and investor buying, with slowing consumer demand, particularly from China, partially offsetting these gains. Key Points: Gold saw a 28% rise in 2024, fueled by central bank and investor purchases. 2025 will likely see more modest growth for gold, driven by macroeconomic factors. A potential rise in central bank acquisitions or worsening financial conditions could push gold prices higher. A reversal or pause in the U.S. Federal Reserve's rate-cutting cycle would dampen gold demand. China and India remain major gold markets, maki...
