Warren Buffett's blunt Social Security warning is becoming reality
For many retirees, Social Security benefits are a primary income source, or even their only income source. Unfortunately for those retirees, their financial security is facing a very real and substantial threat. While Social Security is an entitlement program, and the benefits that workers collect from it are earned benefits they are entitled to as a result of paying into the system, there is a strong chance that the program will not continue working as intended. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter The issue is one that famed investor Warren Buffett has warned about for a very long time. In fact, his warnings about Social Security date all the way back to 2005, when he responded to a question about whether Social Security was a Ponzi scheme and said, "I basically believe that anything that would take Social Security payments below their present guaranteed level is a mistake." Unfortunately, new evidence suggests that Buffett's warnings are about to become reality, and sooner rather than later. Unfortunately, there is a very real and imminent danger that the cuts Buffett warned about will happen. The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget has released a very troubling new report demonstrating that the Oracle of Omaha knew exactly what he was talking about. Related: Warren Buffett sends blunt message on Social Security According to the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, the Social Security Trust Fund is just over seven years away from being insolvent. This is based on both the Social Security Trustee's report data, as well as the Committee's projections of how the One Big Beautiful Bill Act are likely going to impact Social Security. If the reserves in the trust fund are depleted, that means Social Security is only going to be able to pay out benefits from current revenue. The CRFB estimates that this is going to happen late in 2032 and that when it does, a 24% cut to benefits will be necessary. This is different from the most recent projections by the Social Security Trustees, which anticipated that benefits could be paid in full through 2035. It is based on the CRFB's analysis of the impact of the One Big Beautiful Bill. For a dual-earning couple, the cut to benefits that could happen in as little as seven years would result in an $18,100 reduction in annual income from Social Security, according to the CRFB's analysis. This is not just a small cut, it is a huge cut – and it seems to be exactly what Buffett was warning about when he said that it would be a mistake to take benefits below their current level. This would be well below that level. Related: AARP CEO sounds the alarm on Social Security Buffett made clear that while he is worried a benefit cut would be a mistake, he also thinks the situation is salvageable if Congress were to act. He has commented that "our country can easily handle the Social Security issue," and has made several suggestions for fixes, including: Increasing the maximum amount of income that is subject to Social Security tax as currently high earners pay taxes only on part of their income up to the wage base limitRaising full retirement age (although he made this suggestion in 2006 and said that 65 might not make sense, and full retirement age has already been moved later and is now 67 for anyone born in 1960 or beyond) The big question is whether Congress has the political will to make these changes, both of which have the potential to be very unpopular.

Analysts reboot Cloudflare stock price target ahead of earnings
Analysts reboot Cloudflare stock price target ahead of earnings originally appeared on TheStreet. Matthew Prince won't back down. The co-founder and chief executive of cybersecurity Cloudflare () warned that search traffic referrals have plummeted as people increasingly rely on artificial intelligence summaries to answer their queries, forcing many publishers to reevaluate their business models. 💵💰Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter 💰💵 While search engines and AI chatbots include links to original sources, publishers can only derive advertising revenue if readers click through. "The future of the web is going to be more and more like AI, and that means that people are going to be reading the summaries of your content, not the original content," Prince told Axios last month. Early this month, Cloudflare announced that it had become the first Internet infrastructure provider to block AI crawlers accessing content without permission or compensation, by default. Prince noted in a statement that "original content is what makes the Internet one of the greatest inventions in the last century, and it's essential that creators continue making it." Cloudflare CEO goes to war every single day If the Internet is going to survive the age of AI, he said, "we need to give publishers the control they deserve and build a new economic model that works for everyone – creators, consumers, tomorrow's AI founders, and the future of the web itself." And Prince is confident his company is up to the challenge.

"And you're telling me, I can't stop some nerd with a C-corporation in Palo Alto?" Cloudflare recently issued a the 22nd edition of its report on Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks, which are malicious attempts to overwhelm a web property with traffic to disrupt its normal operations. June was the busiest month for DDoS attacks during the second quarter, the company said, accounting for nearly 38% of all observed activity. One notable target was an independent Eastern European news outlet protected by Cloudflare, which reported being attacked following its coverage of a local Pride parade during LGBTQ Pride Month. "We've just crossed halfway through 2025, and so far Cloudflare has already blocked 27.8 million DDoS attacks, equivalent to 130% of all the DDoS attacks we blocked in the full calendar year 2024," the company said. Companies are understandably concerned about protecting themselves and global cybersecurity spending is expected to grow by 12.2% this year, according to the IDC Worldwide Security Spending Guide The increasing complexity and frequency of cyberthreats — accelerated by generative AI and AI in general — are driving organizations worldwide to adopt more advanced defensive measures, IDC said. As a result, security spending is expected to see sustained growth throughout the 2023–2028 forecast period, reaching $377 billion in 2028. Analyst says cybersecurity will remain robust Cloudflare is slated to report second-quarter results on July 31 and investment firms have cited corporate cybersecurity spending as a factor for adjusting their price targets for the company's shares. The San Francisco-based group's stock has climbed 86% this year and shares have soared 157% from this time in JMP raised the firm's price target on Cloudflare to $225 from $180 and kept an outperform rating on the shares, according to The Fly. The firm noted positive data points heading into the earnings report, including positive attainment data, and continues to view Cloudflare as the earliest beneficiary of the AI opportunity in its coverage universe. Jefferies raised the firm's price target on Cloudflare to $200 from $150 and kept a hold rating on the shares. The firm said that it believes cybersecurity spend will remain "robust" and continue to hold a "steady percentage" of software budgets in the coming years. Jefferies said that it is keeping a favorable view on security for the long-term saying it has taken on greater importance. Mizuho raised the firm's price target on Cloudflare to $220 from $155 and kept an outperform rating on the shares as part of a second-quarter earnings preview for the software group. The firm said its second quarter checks were good overall, with cybersecurity demand "generally healthy" and AI adoption "very strong. However, the fundamental upside in the quarter could be constrained, as several contacts noted a slightly higher-than expected number of deal push-outs, where a deal's expected close date is pushed to a later time. Mizuho said its favorite stocks to own ahead of the print are cybersecurity company CyberArk () and software giant Microsoft () .Analysts reboot Cloudflare stock price target ahead of earnings first appeared on TheStreet on Jul 28, 2025 This story was originally reported by TheStreet on Jul 28, 2025, where it first appeared.

'PC Shipments are Forecast To Rise…,' Intel Stock (NASDAQ:INTC) Slips
Chip stock Intel (INTC) recently put up its earnings report, and one key point emerged that proved oddly welcome. As it turns out, Intel's work to help augment the artificial intelligence (AI) PC market has done Intel quite a bit of good. This serves as a bright spot for Intel, which is in desperate need of those as so much of the market seems to be turning on it. But shareholders were still clearly skeptical, and shares slipped modestly in Tuesday afternoon's trading. Elevate Your Investing Strategy: Take advantage of TipRanks Premium at 50% off! Unlock powerful investing tools, advanced data, and expert analyst insights to help you invest with confidence. One of the biggest surprises to emerge from Intel's recent earnings report was the revelation that Intel is a major part of the AI PC market. In fact, three key PC makers—HP (HPQ), Lenovo (LNVGY), and Dell (DELL) —all turned to Intel for its line of Core Ultra processors that can handle AI operations. Given that those three firms represent around 66% of the global PC market, Intel may have landed a serious win. There was further help from Gartner Research Principal Rishi Padhi, who noted that PC shipments '…are forecast to rise 2.4% in 2025, propelled by a tariff-driven front-loaded inventory surge in the first half of 2025 in the U.S., and ongoing Windows 11 replacement cycles.' That is also good news for Intel. With foundry shipments up 4.4% on a year-over-year basis, there are some signs of a comeback in the making for Intel, though perhaps a slow one, and one not quite as pronounced as some might like. A Surprising Blow to Costa Rica Intel has been closing down operations worldwide, and one more such operation emerged recently. Intel announced plans to shut down chip assembly and test plant operations in Costa Rica, a move which will, somehow, '…drive greater efficiency and utilization within our global manufacturing network.' However, that is not the end of Intel in Costa Rica. Its engineering and corporate service positions will remain untouched, at least for now, reports note. Intel plans to absorb the losses by consolidating Assembly and Test Manufacturing (ATM) operations in Vietnam and Malaysia instead. Interestingly, some elements in Costa Rica moved quickly following the announcement. The Association of Free Zone Companies of Costa Rica (AZOFRAS) called on Costa Rican leaders to '…take swift action to safeguard national competitiveness,' one report noted. Is Intel a Buy, Hold or Sell? Turning to Wall Street, analysts have a Hold consensus rating on INTC stock based on one Buy, 25 Holds and three Sells assigned in the past three months, as indicated by the graphic below. After a 31.36% loss in its share price over the past year, the average INTC price target of $22.25 per share implies 8.75% upside potential.
