McDonald's's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MCD#NYSE">MCD</a>) short percent of float has fallen 7.44% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 8.08 million shares sold short, which is 1.12% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.59 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for McDonald's has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing McDonald's's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, McDonald's's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 9.55%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

Beneficient Shares Halted On Circuit Breaker To The Upside, Stock Now Up 194.3%

Beneficient shares are trading higher after the company announced it regained compliance with the Nasdaq.

Real estate investment trusts (REITs) had a difficult April, with only about 25% of them finishing in positive territory. The Vanguard Real Estate Index Fund ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VNQ#NYSE">VNQ</a>), which includes REITs as well as other real estate-related stocks, was down 6.37%. However, many REITs were notably stronger than the overall index.
Weighing down REITs in April was the Federal Reserve's tougher stance on interest rates remaining higher for longer. Chairman Jerome Powell's April 16 speech set the tone when he talked about the Fed's 2% inflation goal.&nbsp;
"The recent data have clearly not given us greater confidence, and instead indicate that it's likely to take longer than expected to achieve that confidence," he said.
Interest rate-sensitive stocks such as REITs sold off quickly after Powell's remarks but recovered within a few days.

</ul>
The best performers often are not the most well-known REITs, and this was apparent over the last four weeks. Take a look at the best-performing REITs in April:&nbsp;
Apartment Income REIT Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AIRC#NYSE">AIRC</a>), also known as AIR Communities, is a Denver-based residential REIT that owns rental housing communities with 21,674 units in 10 states on both U.S. coasts.
On April 8, Blackstone Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BX#NYSE">BX</a>), via real estate fund Blackstone Real Estate Partners X, agreed to buy Apartment Income REIT Corp. in an all-cash transaction valued at roughly $10 billion, including the assumption of Apartment Income's debt. Blackstone plans to take the entire portfolio private.&nbsp;&nbsp;
The purchase price of $39.12 per share represented a 25% premium to AIRC's April 5 closing price. The deal is expected to close in the third quarter of 2024. As of April 8, Apartment Income suspended its quarterly dividend of $0.45 per share.
Primarily because of the sale, Apartment Income had a total return in April of 20.77%, the highest total among all REITs.
Centerspace (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSR#NYSE">CSR</a>) is a Minot, North Dakota-based residential REIT with a focus on the ownership, management, acquisition and redevelopment of apartment buildings. Its portfolio includes 70 apartment complexes with 12,883 apartments across the Midwestern and Mountain states of Colorado, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota and South Dakota. As of February, Centerspace had an occupancy rate of 94.3%.&nbsp;
On Feb. 20, Centerspace announced that its board of trustees approved a quarterly dividend of $0.75 per share, an increase from $0.73 per share. The annualized dividend of $3 presently yields 4.46%.

</ul>
On April 29, Centerspace reported its first-quarter 2024 operating results. Funds from operations (FFO) of $1.23 per share beat the consensus estimate of $1.13. and was above FFO of $1.07 in the first quarter of 2023. Revenue of $64.506 million topped the consensus estimate of $64.381 million and bested first-quarter 2023 revenue of $67.897 million as well.
Centerspace began to rally about a week before the earnings report was released and tacked on another 3.91% the first trading day after the announcement. Centerspace had a total return of 19.68% in April.
Strawberry Fields REIT Inc. (NYSEAMERICAN: STRW) is a South Bend, Indiana-based, self-managed and self-administered healthcare REIT that owns and operates 79 triple-net skilled nursing facilities, assisted living and other post-acute healthcare properties in Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio and a few other states. Strawberry Fields REIT was founded in 2004. After trading over the counter for a long time, it began trading on the New York Stock Exchange in February 2023. Its market cap is $340.29 million.
While there was no news in April to propel Strawberry Fields higher, in mid-March it released its full-year 2023 operating results. FFO was $49.5 million, up from $45 million in 2022. Adjusted funds from operations (AFFO) was $52.7 million, up from $51.1 million in 2022. Net income rose from $16.4 million to $20.2 million year over year and rental income received was $99.8 million in 2023, up from $92.5 million in 2022.
Strawberry Fields is a fast-growing REIT that acquired 24 properties in 2023. Its performance was also assisted by recent overall strength in healthcare REITs.
Strawberry Fields had a total return of 13.84% in April.
Other REITs that performed well in April include Elme Communities (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ELME#NYSE">ELME</a>), with a total return of 11.47%, BRT Apartments Corp.

I have invested in these farms to make them more productive and create more jobs. There isn&#8217;t some grand scheme involved &#8211; in fact, all these decisions are made by a professional investment team."
If you think Gates is making a smart move by investing in farmland, you can do the same with this real estate investment trust (REIT) focused on farmland.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Farmland Partners</h2>
Farmland Partners (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FPI#NYSE">FPI</a>) is the largest farmland REIT in the United States by acreage. Its portfolio consists of nearly 300 farms totaling approximately 171,000 acres across 17 states as of its most recent <a href="https://s201.q4cdn.com/607655624/files/doc_downloads/2024/fpi-investor-presentation-march-2024.pdf">investor presentation</a>.
Farmland Partners currently pays a quarterly dividend of $0.06 per share, equating to an annualized dividend of $0.24 per share, which gives its stock a yield of about 2.2% at the time of this writing.
While its yield isn't very high, it's important to note that Farmland Partners paid a special dividend of $0.21 per share in January because of strong asset appreciation. With the special dividend included, the company declared $0.45 per share in dividends in 2023, which would equate to a yield of about 4.1% at today's levels.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) visionary Sam Altman has dominated the tech world over the past couple of years. He shot to fame following OpenAI&rsquo;s release of its groundbreaking large language model, ChatGPT, in late 2022. 



Since then, ChatGPT has become ubiquitous, with Altman becoming synonymous with all things AI. Though OpenAI made Altman famous, his investments in other tech companies have made him a billionaire. With him pocketing millions through share price gains over the years, investing in Sam Altman stocks has become crucial for the savvy investor.



Altman has been one of the most prolific stealth investors, boasting a stake in more than 125 companies since 2010. He&rsquo;s linked to a web of investment vehicles, including Apollo Projects, Hydrazine Capital, Altman Capital and the OpenAI Startup Fund. Hence, there&rsquo;s no need to shed tears here over him not holding any equity in OpenAI. 



Let&rsquo;s look at three Sam Altman stocks you should invest in now.



<h2>Reddit (RDDT)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/rddt1600-300x169.jpg" alt="Reddit (RDDT) paper logo lies with envelope full of dollar bills and smartphone. Reddit IPO"><div>Source: Mehaniq / Shutterstock.com</div></div>Social media aggregator Reddit&nbsp;(NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/rddt-stock-quote/">RDDT</a>) had one of the biggest IPOs in recent memory. Its stock sale had investors losing their minds, which ended with it being oversubscribed by five times. Consequently, shares shot up 48% on its first trading day, much to the delight of new and old company investors.



Sam Altman, in particular, pocketed a nifty $200 million gain following Reddit&rsquo;s bombastic first day, taking <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/03/21/sam-altmans-reddit-stake-worth-over-600-million-after-nyse-debut.html">its take to more than $613 million</a>. To put things in perspective, he&rsquo;s one of Reddit&rsquo;s largest investors, with almost a 7.6% control of outstanding shares. Moreover, he&rsquo;s been involved with Reddit since 2014, serving on its board until January 2022, noting how he&rsquo;s used the service daily for nine years.



Nonetheless, RDDT stock <a href="https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/RDDT/momentum/performance">is down more than 30%</a>, attracting conflicting analyst opinions. No matter which side you find compelling, it&rsquo;s tough to deny Reddit&rsquo;s relevancy since its inception.



<h2>Airbnb (ABNB)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/airbnb-300x169.jpg" alt="Airbnb (ABNB) app on a smartphone screen"><div>Source: BigTunaOnline / Shutterstock.com</div></div>Airbnb&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/abnb-stock-quote/">ABNB</a>) continues to revolutionize travel by significantly expanding global lodging options and facilitating short-term home rentals. 



Sam Altman was among the early investors in the company, wagering $100,000 in the business back in 2008. Moreover, he&rsquo;s been buddies with the company&rsquo;s co-founder and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Brian Chesky. The two have been close confidants, having consulted on different projects. Moreover, Chesky stood on the frontlines defending Altman following his dismissal as OpenAI&rsquo;s CEO last year.



The details about its current investment status in ABNB are scant. But it&rsquo;s likely to have paid off substantially. ABNB had its IPO four years ago and popped 113% on its <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2020/12/10/airbnb-ipo-abnb-starts-trading-on-the-nasdaq.html">trading day to $146</a>. Moreover, it was the largest IPO in the market that year, raising a whopping $3.5 billion in investment.&nbsp;



Over the years, Airbnb has operated an efficient business, growing its top and bottom line by sizeable margins. Additionally, it has been ticking in the green in the past six months, <a href="https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/ABNB/momentum/performance">generating over a 42% return</a>.



<h2>Uber Technologies (UBER)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/uber1600-300x169.png" alt="Uber sign on its headquarters building in San Francisco, California, USA - June 6, 2023. Uber Technologies is a transportation conglomerate."><div>Source: JHVEPhoto / Shutterstock.com</div></div>Like with Airbnb, Altman was one of the early investors in ride-hailing giant Uber Technologies&nbsp;(NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/uber-stock-quote/">UBER</a>). He has invested $100,000 in Uber during the formative years of app-based ride-sharing platforms, believing in the sector&rsquo;s disruptive potential.



Moreover, he&rsquo;s been a huge fan of the platform over the years, having supported it for both its product and business model. Furthermore, despite the concerns over Uber&rsquo;s operational dynamics, it has proven to be an excellent business over the years.



Moreover, its coming off a superb quarter, where gross bookings have risen 22% to $37.6 million, blowing past estimates of $37.2 billion. With a 21% year-over-year (YOY) increase in gross bookings, the company&rsquo;s revenues shot up 15.1% to $9.9 billion, beating consensus estimates by $174 million. Consequently, we&rsquo;ve seen UBER stock take off, rising roughly 70% in the past six months. It is poised for robust long-term gains as it evolves.
