BOXABL believes they have the potential to disrupt a massive and outdated trillion dollar building construction market by bringing assembly line automation to the home industry.
Since securing their initial prototype order from SpaceX and a subsequent project order of 156 homes from the Department of Defense, BOXABL has made substantial strides in streamlining their manufacturing and order process. BOXABL is now delivering to developers and consumers. And they just reserved the ticker symbol BXBL on Nasdaq*.
BOXABL has raised over $170M from over 40,000 investors since 2020. They recently achieved a significant milestone: raising over 50% of their Reg A+ funding limit! BOXABL is now only accepting investment on their website until the Reg A+ is full.

đ Warren Buffett To Retire
Warren Buffett is stepping down. At 94, the legendary investor announced at Berkshire Hathawayâs annual meeting that he'll retire by yearâs end, passing the CEO torch to longtime deputy Greg Abel. Buffettâs exit marks the end of an era, after nearly 60 years of transforming a struggling textile firm into a trillion-dollar empire. For investors, itâs both a moment of gratitude and a changing of the guard.
đ Stock Futures Slip on Sunday Night / Monday morning
U.S. stock futures dipped Monday, signaling a breather after the S&P 500 capped its longest winning streak in more than 20 years. Futures tied to the S&P 500 fell 0.7%, while the Dow and Nasdaq 100 both slipped around 0.6% to 0.7%. Investors had been buoyed by signs that U.S.-China trade talks might restart, but optimism faded after President Trump said he has no plans to speak with President Xi this week, despite expressing a desire for a âfair deal.â
âď¸ âSell in May, go away'
"Sell in May and go away"? Not so fast. This old Wall Street mantra doesnât quite fit todayâs market. With policy swings, economic uncertainty, and global tensions stirring the pot, many strategists say stepping aside just because it's May could be a mistake. As Larry Tentarelli put it: âWeâre in a different market this year.â Historical patterns arenât what they used to be.
đĽ Trump announces 100% tariff for movies produced outside U.S.
Trump wants to bring Hollywood home. On Sunday, he announced a 100% tariff on all films produced outside the U.S., blaming overseas incentives for luring American productions and calling it a ânational security threat.â With L.A. production down nearly 40% in the last decade, Trumpâs move is aimed at reversing the trend, but so far, no clear details on how or when itâll roll out.
â President Trump vows to extend âTik Tokâ ban deadline
Trump wants to give TikTok more time, again. Despite the 2024 law mandating a U.S. sale or nationwide ban, heâs extended the deadline another 75 days, citing a "warm spot" for the app and its role in his youth vote. âI focused on TikTok⌠I won young people by 36 points,â he said in a recent interview.

Warren Buffettâs Best & Worst Investments

Warren Buffett is stepping down. At 94, the legendary âOracle of Omahaâ shocked shareholders by announcing heâll retire as CEO of Berkshire Hathaway at the end of the year.
After taking over a struggling textile company in 1965, Buffett turned it into a trillion-dollar empire.
Now, as he prepares to pass the torch, PBS News took a look at some of his best, and worst, investment moves:
đ Buffettâs Best Bets:
Apple: He invested over $31 billion starting in 2016, calling it a consumer brand, not a tech play. At one point, the stake swelled to $174 billion.
Coca-Cola, AmEx, Bank of America: Bought in tough times, held for decades. Combined, theyâve made $100+ billion in gains, not counting dividends.
Seeâs Candy: Acquired for $25 million in 1972. It helped Buffett shift from buying cheap businesses to buying great ones at fair prices.
BYD (China): Bet $232M on EVs in 2008. At its peak, the stake hit $9 billion.
Insurance companies like GEICO: Gave Buffett access to massive âfloatâ, $173 billion, to reinvest and grow the company.
Berkshire Hathaway Energy: Steady, regulated income. Pulled in $3.7 billion in 2024 alone.
đ His Worst Moves:
Dexter Shoe: Bought for $433M in stock, total loss. Buffett says it was his biggest blunder.
Missed tech giants: Passed on Amazon, Google, Microsoft. Called it âsucking my thumb.â
Sold banks too soon: Dumped Wells Fargo and JPMorgan pre-COVID. Both doubled after.
Original Berkshire textile mills: Lost money for years, but the shares he bought at $7 each? Now worth over $800,000.
