<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.

Looking Into Old National's Recent Short Interest

Time's running out. The Biden administration is in a mad dash to finalize billions in CHIPS Act deals before Trump takes office. With $39 billion in funding at stake, there's no room for delays.
The CHIPS Act, signed in 2022, was supposed to bring <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41387939/chipmakers-rally-nvidia-smashes-records-on-tsmc-blowout-earnings-gold-hit-all-time-highs-whats-d">chip production</a> home. The goal? Secure supply chains and cut reliance on Taiwan for advanced semiconductors. It's a big deal for U.S. manufacturing. But there's a catch. While 90% of the money is allocated, most of it hasn't been locked down yet. Only two deals, worth $6.6 billion, are fully finalized, <a href="https://www.commerce.gov/news/press-releases/2024/11/biden-harris-administration-announces-chips-incentives-award-tsmc">according to the Commerce Department.</a>

</ul>
Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo promised to allocate every dollar by the end of the year. But progress? It's been slow. And patience is wearing thin. "We are disappointed by how long and how slow the dispensing of funds has been," said Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger, as reported by Bloomberg. He's frustrated. The process has dragged on for over two years.
President Joe Biden's team is trying to speed things up. Last week, they announced<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/24/11/42011035/just-before-bidens-term-ends-taiwan-semiconductor-lands-6-6-billion-in-us-funding-to-build-advanced-chip-plants"> a $6.6 billion deal </a>with Taiwan's TSMC. At least $1 billion should roll out before the year ends. But there's still a lot left to sort out. Intel, the biggest potential recipient, is still negotiating terms to unlock its share.
President-elect Donald Trump, meanwhile, isn't a fan of the CHIPS Act. He's been vocal. He thinks tariffs are a better way to push companies to make chips here. On a podcast with Joe Rogan, he called tariffs the smarter move. His team might shift gears when he takes office. But here's the thing: once a CHIPS Act deal is finalized, it's tough to undo. They're legally binding unless companies don't hold up their end of the bargain.
Trending: This Jeff Bezos-backed startup will allow you to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/bezos-landlord-100-dollars">become a landlord in just 10 minutes, with minimum investments as low as $100 for properties like the Byer House from Stranger Things.</a>
Analysts like Jeff Koch say Trump could slow things down, even if he doesn't scrap the CHIPS Act. "This had the ancillary benefit of pushing the Biden administration to cut through red tape and disburse CHIPS Act funds while still in power," Koch told Business Insider.
There's also pressure from the clock. January is fast approaching. Biden's team knows the window to finalize these agreements is closing. The next administration could stall or rewrite the rules, adding more uncertainty to a complicated process.
And it's not just about securing funding. There are benchmarks. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41654832/intel-likely-to-report-q3-loss-these-most-accurate-analysts-revise-forecasts-ahead-of-earnings-call">Companies like Intel </a>need clear terms to access the money. Another layer of bureaucracy is slowing things down. For Biden, it's a race against time to solidify the vision of the CHIPS Act before Trump's team takes over.
The stakes are high. America needs these funds locked in to compete globally. Chips power everything from smartphones to cars, so falling behind isn't an option. All eyes are on whether Biden can pull this off in time. The pressure's on and there's no room for missteps.

Elon Musk recently set social media abuzz with a tweet featuring a clip from Netflix&#8217;s &#8220;Narcos,&#8221; where Pablo Escobar, portrayed by actor Wagner Moura, is seen smoking a joint. Musk captioned the post, &#8220;Actual footage of me after @realDonaldTrump won,&#8221; referring to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41768178/donald-trump-defeats-kamala-harris-to-win-2024-election">Donald Trump&#8217;s 2024 victory</a>.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Musk's Cannabis Advocacy And Public Persona</h3>
Musk's selection of a cannabis-themed scene aligns with his public stance on marijuana and psychedelics. In 2018, Musk famously smoked a joint during a live appearance on &#8220;The Joe Rogan Experience,&#8221; sparking both cultural fascination and corporate scrutiny. The incident even prompted NASA to review SpaceX's workplace practices.
Beyond this, Musk has consistently supported the legalization of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/cannabis">cannabis</a> and the therapeutic use of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/psychedelics">psychedelics</a>, recently describing them as "pretty helpful" for conditions like PTSD and depression. His tweet juxtaposes this advocacy with a tongue-in-cheek nod to cannabis culture, though some critics have questioned the appropriateness of invoking Escobar&#8217;s likeness in the context of drug reform.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Musk's Role In Trump's Reelection And Political Context</h3>
The tweet coincides with Musk's increasing prominence in U.S. politics. As co-leader of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), a special initiative within President-elect Donald Trump's upcoming administration, Musk is tasked with identifying waste in federal operations and driving cost-cutting measures.

The role cements Musk's alignment with Trump's deregulatory platform, but his cannabis-friendly public image contrasts sharply with conservative perspectives on drug policy.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Wagner Moura's Political Views And Social Media Irony</h3>
Wagner Moura, the Brazilian actor known for his portrayal of Escobar in &#8220;Narcos,&#8221; holds progressive political views that contrast with Musk's alignment with Trump. Moura has openly <a href="https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/wagner-moura-chasing-truth-100000406.html?utm_source=chatgpt.com&amp;guccounter=1&amp;guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly9jaGF0Z3B0LmNvbS8&amp;guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAHyPGwAKPhq_ebbbAr72fKnwcPnvJS6EpQAlbqiXcPZejVhUfydhaxYD39x4-d1Xi4IZ9CYMdVNt30qS4HKVbbOP2T71GtilDmAimDnHraRNLm8zAuS3LxtiLjwBvSDS9Veg3PKX0XNT33KTYuXeq4qsqFCIZYHrN8nkqE3v-2vh">supported</a> leftist causes in Brazil and has been an outspoken critic of authoritarianism. While he has not directly criticized Trump on record, his advocacy for democratic values and opposition to leaders like Brazil's former president Jair Bolsonaro suggest ideological differences with Trump's approach.
This clash between Moura and Musk was not lost on social media. One Twitter user noted, "This actor is Brazilian. He hates Donald Trump and loves Fidel Castro," while another added, "This actor is Brazilian, liberal, and deeply hates you, Elon." Moura has not publicly commented on the incident, but the online reactions pointed out the irony of Musk's use of the clip

The agreement will give access up to $30 million of its $65 million grant from the Australian Renewable Energy Agency.
The funding will support Vast&#8217;s green technology manufacturing and project development, enabling the deployment of its next-generation concentrated solar thermal power (CSP) solution to provide clean, dispatchable power and heat.
Vast has developed next-generation proprietary CSP technology, offering superior performance at lower cost and risk.
The company has a global project pipeline aimed at decarbonizing electricity generation and powering green methanol and sustainable aviation fuel production.
Proven at its pilot project in New South Wales, Vast&#8217;s technology is set for utility-scale deployment at Vast Solar 1 (VS1), a 30MW power plant with 8 hours of storage in South Australia&#8217;s Port Augusta Green Energy Hub.
The Port Augusta CSP project will generate clean, dispatchable electricity for the National Electricity Market and power Solar Methanol 1 (SM1), a world-first green methanol production facility.
Vast&#8217;s Australian-made CSP technology, produced at its Queensland facility, will benefit from $30 million in funding from ARENA.
This will support the scaling of manufacturing for VS1 and future projects, as well as final development activities ahead of the Final Investment Decision in early 2025.
The funding is expected to create green manufacturing, construction, and long-term operations jobs.
Construction of VS1 is expected to start in the second quarter of 2025, with capital expenditures estimated between A$360 million and A$390 million.
CEO Craig Wood emphasized that the Australian Government support positions Vast to lead a domestic CSP industry and expand its global project pipeline.
Price Action: VSTE shares are up 30.4% at $2.151 at the last check Monday.
