Fed's Goolsbee Says Inflation Data Is A Noisy Series; Over Next Year, Rates Should Come Down A Fair Amount From Where They Are Now; My Belief That Rates Will And Should Come Down Is Rooted In Read That Inflation Is Coming Down

MicroStrategy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) executive chairman Michael Saylor on Tuesday suggested that Microsoft (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) could significantly boost its market cap by incorporating Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42275232/leveraged-microstrategy-etfs-are-playing-with-fire-experts-warn">into its financial strategy.</a>
What Happened: Speaking on CNBC, Saylor <a href="https://x.com/WatcherGuru/status/1863969787212177509">outlined</a> how the tech giant could add up to $4 trillion to its valuation and $600 to its share price by leveraging Bitcoin in key areas like cash reserves, dividends and buybacks.
&#8220;Microsoft is buying back its stock and issuing bonds,&#8221; Saylor said. &#8220;If they simply swept their existing cash into Bitcoin, it could add a trillion dollars to their market cap and $150 to the share price.&#8221; 
He further added that converting dividends into Bitcoin or replacing buybacks with Bitcoin investments could each add another trillion dollars and $150 per share.
Saylor emphasized that by embracing Bitcoin, Microsoft could transition from being &#8220;asset-poor and expectation-rich&#8221; to a more balanced position. 
&#8220;Instead of surrendering capital through buybacks, they could invest in Bitcoin, grow enterprise value, and feed the digital economy of the future,&#8221; he said.

Why It Matters: MicroStrategy has been a pioneer in institutional Bitcoin adoption, with over 400,000 BTC in its treasury.
Saylor described the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42253242/microstrategys-michael-saylor-calls-bitcoin-the-manhattan-in-cyberspace-says-its-an-asset-you-could-expect-to-last-1000-years">company&#8217;s ongoing strategy</a> of issuing stock and debt to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42160774/microstrategy-is-the-bitcoin-magnet-says-bernstein-but-not-everybodys-sold-nothing-is-free-in-finance-says-one-analyst">acquire more Bitcoin</a>, capturing arbitrage gains, and leveraging the cryptocurrency&#8217;s high volatility.
&#8220;Bitcoin is unique in history—it's the first scarcity commodity outperforming the S&amp;P 500 with higher volatility,&#8221; Saylor noted.
Although he acknowledged that major corporations like Microsoft might not immediately embrace Bitcoin, Saylor sees growing interest from publicly traded companies adopting the cryptocurrency as a strategic reserve. 
&#8220;Right now, we're in the second inning. Crossing $100,000 for Bitcoin will mark the third inning,&#8221; he said, projecting further growth <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42183963/microstrategy-coinbase-and-other-bitcoin-linked-stocks-tumble-as-btcs-march-to-100000-stalls">in Bitcoin adoption</a>.

Bloom Energy's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BE#NYSE">BE</a>) short percent of float has risen 4.64% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 45.83 million shares sold short, which is 32.05% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 3.09 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 Bloom Energy has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Bloom Energy'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>, Bloom Energy's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 8.08%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.

Unpacking the Latest Options Trading Trends in Enphase Energy

BofA Securities analyst Wamsi Mohan maintained a Buy rating on Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AAPL/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">with a price target of $256</a>.
The analyst cited the multi-year iPhone upgrade cycle, tailwinds to gross margin, and strong cash flows as factors for rating reiteration.
The analyst writes that, as per SensorTower data, App Store revenues in first-quarter FY25 (after 64 days) rose to $5.6 billion, a 15.2% year-over-year increase. Total downloads (iPhone and iPad) grew by 7.4% year-over-year, reaching 6.1 billion.
In November, global App Store revenue increased by 15.8% year-over-year, with China showing a 9.0% year-over-year growth, adds the analyst.
Mohan writes that App store dollars per download also rose by 7.3% year-over-year.
Entertainment app revenue grew 35% year-over-year after 64 days and Gaming revenue increased 5% to $2.7 billion. Games remain the largest segment, followed by Entertainment (16%) and other categories, adds the analyst.
Mohan says this highlights a shift toward more diverse revenue streams as non-gaming apps monetize more. The impact of the new Apple Intelligence on download and revenue trends will be closely monitored.
The analyst projects total services revenue growth of 13% year-over-year for both first-quarter and second-quarter of FY25 and sees the resilience in services as a long-term positive indicator.
Mohan writes that 270 days after Apple&#8217;s compliance deadline, there has been minimal impact on web browser downloads in the EU.
The iPhone company reported&nbsp;fiscal&nbsp;fourth-quarter&nbsp;revenue&nbsp;of&nbsp;$94.9 billion, topping analyst estimates of&nbsp;$94.56 billion. Adjusted EPS <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/42295863" rel="noreferrer noopener">of&nbsp;$1.64&nbsp;surpassed forecasts of&nbsp;$1.60</a>.

Macro analyst Raoul Pal predicts a seismic shift in the global economy and financial markets, driven by accelerating technological change and a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42235639/trump-administration-to-reportedly-let-cftc-regulate-bitcoin-ethereum-spot-market-is-the-s">new political landscape</a>.
What Happened: In an appearance on the Blockworks Macro <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2pC-zZGFBs">podcast</a> on Tuesday, Pal outlined a transformative vision for the global economy, calling the next few years a transition toward an &#8220;economic singularity.&#8221; 
He described this period as a time when accelerating technological innovation in AI, robotics and blockchain fundamentally reshapes global markets and economic systems.
Pal attributes this acceleration to the political rise of &#8220;technologists and accelerationists&#8221; after the U.S. elections, pointing to influential figures like <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42253427/elon-musks-doge-dream-team-from-marc-andreessen-to-ubers-travis-kalanick-silicon-valley-titans-join-forces-to-overhaul-federal-spending">Elon Musk</a> and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42221726/crypto-dad-chris-giancarlo-advocates-for-passing-crypto-regulation-from-the-sec-to-another-commission-heres-why">crypto-friendly organizations</a> as driving forces. 
He noted, "The technologists have taken the White House," signalling a governmental shift toward prioritizing innovation.
Crypto&#8217;s Role In The Digital Age
Pal remains unwavering in his optimism about the cryptocurrency market, projecting a valuation explosion from $3 trillion to $100 trillion within the next decade. 
He emphasized blockchain as the backbone of the digital age, enabling digital scarcity and efficient global transactions, which he sees as essential for future financial systems.
"Crypto is the architecture for the digital age," he stated, underscoring the pivotal role of blockchain in transforming how value is exchanged and stored.

Why It Matters: Pal highlighted a generational shift in market psychology, with retail investors normalizing speculation as a response to unaffordable housing and limited traditional wealth-building opportunities. 
Millennials and younger investors, he noted, are more comfortable embracing risk and speculative assets like cryptocurrencies.
He advises investors to capitalize on the current market conditions, saying, "It's a race to buy as much as you can, as early as you can."
What's Next: While acknowledging potential economic and societal challenges, Pal remains optimistic about the opportunities these changes present. 
His suggestion: focus on building financial stability before the anticipated economic transformation reshapes the world as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/10/41297376/bitcoin-will-hit-250k-raoul-pal-says-why-the-gurus-top-5-crypto-predictions-matter-if-your#:~:text=%E2%80%9CYou're%20a%20wage%20slave,issues%20plaguing%20the%20global%20economy.">we know it.</a>
