As the gubernatorial elections in <a href="https://elplanteo.com/pr/">Puerto Rico</a> approach, there&#8217;s growing interest in what the candidates think about key issues. In a region where <a href="https://elplanteo.com/que-es-el-cannabis-1/">cannabis</a> is only legal with a medical prescription, questions arise about whether it will remain that way or if there&#8217;s potential for legislative change.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Main Candidates&#8217; Views On Cannabis In Puerto Rico</h2>
The primary race for the governorship of Puerto Rico is between Jenniffer González, Jesús Manuel Ortiz and Juan Dalmau, all of whom have shown an open approach to the regulation and use of marijuana, though with differing priorities.
González, the current Resident Commissioner of Puerto Rico in Washington, D.C., is a strong advocate for the development of the <a href="https://elplanteo.com/que-es-el-canamo-hemp/">hemp</a> and medical cannabis industries. She has worked to secure federal funding and implement laws that support the production and commercialization of hemp in Puerto Rico.
Among her proposed projects is legislation to protect veterans working in the cannabis industry. She also played a key role in securing federal approval for Puerto Rico&#8217;s hemp production under the U.S. Domestic Hemp Production Program.
Ortiz, the current Speaker of the Puerto Rico House of Representatives, has a progressive stance on cannabis, particularly concerning the protection of medical patients&#8217; rights. During his tenure, he has supported labor protections for such patients, promoting legislation that prohibits workplace discrimination based on marijuana use.
Dalmau, a senator for the Puerto Rican Independence Party, has a clear stance in favor of decriminalizing cannabis use, emphasizing a public health approach rather than a punitive one.
In his statements, Dalmau has highlighted the importance of addressing cannabis use properly: "When it comes to personal consumption, it should not be treated like drug trafficking; it should be handled from a public health perspective, which requires the State to provide tools through psychologists, doctors, and social workers," he stated.
All three leading candidates, to varying degrees, are open to the regulation and use of cannabis and hemp. However, they all agree on the need to review and potentially expand the current policies related to the plant.

McDonald's's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MCD#NYSE">MCD</a>) short percent of float has risen 5.11% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 10.36 million shares sold short, which is 1.44% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.37 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.

However, it's not because Microsoft is leading his portfolio; instead, it&#8217;s something else. One of the world&#8217;s largest charitable organizations, the Bill &amp; Melinda Gates Foundation, increased its stake in Berkshire Hathaway. It's the foundation&#8217;s second-largest holding, accounting for 21.01%. This change has piqued the attention of investors and the general public.

</ul>
These aren't shares purchased on the stock exchange by the Gates Foundation–Warren Buffett personally gifted those shares to the foundation. This strategic move signifies the foundation&#8217;s strong belief in <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/berkshire-hathaways-massive-277m-cash-190030484.html">Berkshire Hathaway for long-term growth and stability</a>. Others speculate that this might be Buffett&#8217;s final gift to the Gates Foundation, given recent reports about their cooling friendship and Buffett&#8217;s decision to cease further donations to the foundation after his demise.
Trending: How do billionaires pay less in income tax than you?<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/tax-deferring-adv"> Tax deferring is their number one strategy</a>.
Many analysts believe the Gates Foundation will retain Berkshire shares despite the drama. It&#8217;s easy to see why, as Berkshire Hathaway offers instant diversification. Berkshire Hathaway is not just a single company; it is a conglomerate that owns many businesses. When you purchase its shares, you're buying into a little bit of everything. Property and casualty (P&amp;C) insurers such as Geico and General Re accounted for around 40% of Berkshire&#8217;s operating profits last year. Though the insurance business can be unpredictable, the concept of &#8216;float&#8217; – money held by insurance companies that have not yet been paid out in claims – gives Berkshire a unique advantage.
Trending: If there was a new fund backed by Jeff Bezos offering a 7-9% target yield with monthly dividends<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/arrived-private-credit-fund"> would you invest in it</a>?
Most insurance companies invest their float in safe, high-grade bonds. However, Berkshire uses it under Buffett&#8217;s tutelage to buy stocks and businesses. This strategy has proved very profitable over the years. Berkshire reported it even made an underwriting profit of $5.4 billion. That&#8217;s rare in the insurance world. Besides insurance, Berkshire includes BNSF Railway, a giant freight rail network that contributed more than 13% to its operating income last year. The company also has a stake in energy, manufacturing, retail, and construction.
There's also speculation about what will happen when 93-year-old Warren Buffett steps down from the helm. Fortunately, Buffett has put a sound succession strategy in place.
Trending: Commercial real estate has historically outperformed the stock market, and<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/marcus-millichap-backed-platform-makes-it-easy-to-invest-in-real-estate"> this platform allows individuals to invest in commercial real estate with as little as $5,000 offering a 12% target yield with a bonus 1% return boost today!</a>
Ajit Jain will oversee the insurance side. Greg Abel will oversee the non-insurance businesses, and two longtime lieutenants, Todd Combs and Ted Weschler, will run the investment portfolio. All these people have always worked under Buffett&#8217;s leadership, and it remains to be seen if they can take up the gauntlet.
Experts seem to agree that <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/warren-buffett-shares-secrets-making-140017495.html">Berkshire Hathaway</a> is a good investment. It may not be cheap by traditional metrics, but it has a proven and long-standing track record of creating value. Many believe Berkshire will remain a strong choice for long-term investors, including billionaires like Bill Gates.

This unexpected shift has sparked debate over whether the AI leader, Nvidia, might be facing a valuation reality check.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Nvidia's High-Flying Act: Is The Bubble Bursting?</h2>
Nvidia, a dominant force in AI chips and GPU technology, has enjoyed a meteoric rise, driven by the booming demand for AI and data center solutions. However, its high valuation — currently trading at a price-to earnings multiple (P/E) of 55.13 — a significant premium to its peers — raises questions about the sustainability of its growth.
The modest stock gain in August suggests that investors might be re-evaluating Nvidia&#8217;s lofty price tag.

Concerns over whether Nvidia can continue to deliver the explosive growth needed to justify its valuation seem to be weighing on investor sentiment.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Meta&#8217;s AI Magic: New Kid On The Block Shines</h2>
Meanwhile, Meta is reaping the rewards of its strategic pivot towards AI. The company has been leveraging AI to enhance its advertising efficiency and user experience, driving a resurgence in its stock. Meta&#8217;s investments in AI technology are beginning to bear fruit, providing a more diversified play in the tech sector.

Investors appear to be responding positively to this approach, viewing Meta as a strong competitor in the AI space without the same <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/08/40616459/nvidia-and-bitcoin-overpriced-or-underpriced-do-fundamentals-justify-their-trillions-of-do">valuation risks associated with Nvidia</a>.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Valuation Showdown: Is Nvidia's Crown Slipping?</h2>
The recent performance disparity could reflect a broader market sentiment shift, signaling that investors are becoming more cautious about overvalued tech stocks. While Nvidia remains a leader in AI innovation, its slowing stock momentum may suggest that the market is looking for more balanced, less risky AI investments.
As the debate continues, investors must weigh Nvidia&#8217;s high growth potential against its valuation risks. With Meta proving its capability to capitalize on AI without the same premium pricing (trading at a P/E of 26.51), the question remains: Is Nvidia experiencing a temporary cooling-off period, or is it a sign of a longer-term trend?
Only time will tell if Nvidia can regain its sheen, or if Meta&#8217;s diversified AI strategy will continue to outshine its tech rival.

While Marvell stock surged an impressive 18.53% last month, Broadcom and Nvidia followed with gains of 9.84% and 9.39%, respectively. This outperformance has caught the attention of investors looking to capitalize on growth opportunities within the semiconductor industry.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Marvell&#8217;s Strong Market Positioning</h2>
Marvell&#8217;s strong performance can be attributed to its strategic focus as a fabless chip designer with a significant presence in wired networking. With the second-highest market share in this segment, Marvell serves diverse end markets, including data centers, automotive, and consumer electronics.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Broadcom Remains A Strong Contender</h2>
In contrast, Broadcom, the sixth-largest semiconductor firm globally, has been expanding beyond its core semiconductor business into software, a move aimed at diversifying its revenue streams. With over $30 billion in annual revenue and a broad product range across wireless, networking, and storage markets, Broadcom remains a strong contender in the semiconductor space.

<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/report/AVGO">Benzinga Report On Broadcom</a>
Analysts have set a 12-month price target range for Broadcom between $200.00 and $2,400.00, with an average target of $1,300.00, signaling a potential upside of 939.83%. Despite these promising figures, Broadcom&#8217;s more modest performance in Aug. compared to Marvell suggests that investors may currently favor pure-play semiconductor stocks with strong market share and focused strategies.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Nvidia&#8217;s Expanding Footprint In AI</h2>
Nvidia, known for its dominance in the GPU market and expanding footprint in AI and data center networking, posted a solid performance in Aug. but fell short of Marvell&#8217;s gains.

<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/report/NVDA">Benzinga Report On Nvidia</a>
Analysts estimate a 12-month price target range for Nvidia from $90.00 to $1,275.00, with an average of $682.50, indicating an expected upside of 46.93%. Nvidia&#8217;s long-term growth prospects remain robust, driven by the increasing adoption of AI technologies. 
However, in the short term, investors may be cautious given its relatively lower percentage gain compared to Marvell.
For semiconductor investors, Marvell&#8217;s recent outperformance is a signal to consider stocks with focused market strategies and high potential for growth. 
While Broadcom and Nvidia continue to be strong players, Marvell&#8217;s agility and strong market positioning make it a compelling choice for those looking to capitalize on near-term gains in the semiconductor industry.

Marvell Steals The Spotlight From Nvidia, Broadcom In August: What's Next For Chip Investors?

Marriott Intl's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MAR#NYSE">MAR</a>) short percent of float has risen 5.53% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 5.83 million shares sold short, which is 2.67% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 3.65 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 Marriott Intl 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 Marriott Intl'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>, Marriott Intl's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 7.13%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

Peering Into Howard Hughes Holdings's Recent Short Interest

Only days after Donald Trump&#8216;s running mate <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/jd-vance">JD Vance</a> took Vice President <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/kamala-harris">Kamala Harris</a> to task for &#8220;flip-flopping&#8221; on various issues in her recent <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40643087/kamala-harris-addresses-trump-questioning-her-identity-in-first-interview-after-accepting-nomination">CNN interview</a>, the Democrat is now slinging similar accusations right back.
Trump's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/08/40666944/donald-trump-supports-cannabis-legalization-in-florida-game-changer-and-huge-blow-to-ron-desanti">Saturday endorsement</a> of Florida's cannabis legalization initiative known as <a href="https://drupal-cloudfront.benzinga.com/topic/amendment-3">Amendment 3</a>, when he said that no one should be incriminated for cannabis offenses "in Florida, when this is legal in so many other States,&#8221; led the Harris campaign to come out swinging.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Trump Is &#8216;Just Making Things Up&#8217;</h2>
Responding to Trump&#8217;s new-found cannabis support and perfectly-timed announcement, the Harris campaign called the move part of a long line of &#8220;brazen flip-flops,&#8221; according to a memo first obtained and <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/harris-campaign-criticizes-trump-brazen-flip-flops-marijuana/story?id=113301186">reported</a> by ABC News.
&#8220;As of this morning, Trump now suggests he is for legalizing marijuana – but as President, his own Justice Department cracked down on marijuana offenses,&#8221; Ian Sams, a Harris communications aide said in the memo, which accused Trump of &#8220;just making things up&#8221; as the election approaches.

Trump's backing of Amendment 3 is particularly noteworthy given his tough stance on drug policy, which has included&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/22/11/29741741/trump-announcement-death-to-drug-dealers-and-beautiful-american-flag-on-mars" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">calling for the death penalty</a>&nbsp;for drug dealers. 
In a statement to ABC News, a Trump campaign official said, &#8220;President Trump has been consistent in his support for leaving this issue to the states for years.&#8221;
The Harris team argues that her record reflects her evolution on certain issues, but that Trump&#8217;s does not.
&#8220;As soon as Trump starts catching heat for his unpopular agenda and record,&#8221; said Sams, referencing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40593890/anthony-scaramucci-accuses-trump-of-plotting-russian-style-oligarchy-in-us-through-project-2025-call">Project 2025</a> per ABC, &#8220;he rushes out to claim he would actually do the opposite. It&#8217;s a desperate play from a candidate whose back is up against the wall running against Vice President Harris.&#8221;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Pandering Or Fair Play?</h2>
Sams agues Trump is pandering. Who wouldn't? After all, support for legalizing cannabis is at an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/03/37964845/9-out-of-10-americans-support-some-form-of-legal-cannabis-pew-research-center-finds">all-time high</a> across the country. In Florida, where the initiative is on the ballot in the upcoming<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/2024-election"> November 2023 election</a>, legal weed enjoys vast support among Democrats as well as Republicans.
&#8220;But it demands scrutiny,&#8221; Sams argued. &#8220;He was President for four years, and how he exercised his power on these issues is the best metric for how he will do so again if he gets the chance. What he says now is just desperate pandering from a scared man who is worried he will lose.&#8221;
