Meme coin season continues with many cryptocurrencies trading higher after Donald Trump won the 2024 presidential election, including a coin based on Peanut the Squirrel, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/41949184/elon-musk-endorsed-peanut-the-squirrel-surges-270-to-15-billion-valuation-only-more-wild-moves-ahead-says-millionaire-trader">a social media star.</a>
Here's a look back at how much an investment in Peanut the Squirrel (CRYPTO: PNUT) coin, which is based on the Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>) blockchain, would be worth today.
What Happened: The price of Peanut the Squirrel coin has soared in recent days, bolstered by the 2024 election outcome and<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/41705004/peanut-the-squirrel-themed-meme-coins-surge-amid-social-media-outrage-over-celebrity-anima"> mentions of the viral social media star</a> by Tesla CEO Elon Musk.
Peanut the Squirrel was a rescue squirrel owned by a New York resident. The squirrel attracted a large following on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/peanut_the_squirrel12/?hl=en">Instagram </a>with hundreds of thousands of followers.
New York state officials confiscated and later euthanized Peanut in early November due to alleged potential rabies exposure.
The death of Peanut became a rally cry ahead of the 2024 election and saw mentions from Musk on X.
"President @realDonald Trump will save the squirrels. RIP P'Nut," Musk <a href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1852738470017700051">tweeted </a>on Nov. 2.
The Tesla CEO and billionaire later that day shared a meme of a squirrel resembling a jedi.
"If you strike me down, I will become more powerful than you could possibly imagine," Musk said, referring to a quote on the meme with the character being shown as "Obi PNut Kenobi."

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
More mentions of Peanut the Squirrel, the social media star helping Trump win the election and listings of the meme coin on exchanges like Binance have sent the price of the cryptocurrency soaring in recent days, passing a market capitalization of more than $1 billion.

Investing $100 In PNUT: Investors who bought PNUT after Musk started mentioning the viral squirrel and meme coin on X have been pleasantly rewarded.
PNUT traded at a high of $0.1258 on Nov. 2 when Musk made his first tweets. An investor buying the coin at the highest price of the day could have purchased 794.9126 PNUT.
Today, the $100 would be worth $1,573.93, up 1,473.9%, based on a price of $1.98 for PNUT at the time of writing.
What's Next: Investors have made big profits in the Peanut the Squirrel meme coin and the Instagram account of the deceased squirrel now has over 900,000 followers.
Some investors believe the meme coin will go higher, citing the potential influence of Musk and<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/10/41410605/if-you-invested-100-in-dogecoin-when-elon-musk-first-tweeted-about-the-meme-crypto-heres-h"> his past comments on </a>Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>) helping to put attention on that meme coin and sending it higher.

In a recent Fox News Digital interview, Bernie Moreno, a business owner and now political figure, didn't mince words on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/10/41291635/are-trumps-proposed-corporate-tax-cuts-the-key-to-unleashing-a-stock-market-boom-heres-what-history">U.S. trade policies</a>: tariffs are here to stay. He's making waves with his strong support for keeping tariffs, even as some industry leaders push for reductions.&nbsp;
Moreno's perspective, shaped by his experience building a car dealership network and his recent political win, is rooted in a vision of economic protectionism that aims to keep jobs and businesses within the U.S.&nbsp;

</ul>
He echoes recent administrations&#8217; sentiments, stressing the need for a tax system that rewards companies that bring jobs back to America while discouraging those that offshore them.
Trade policies in the U.S. have shifted recently, with tariffs on Chinese goods becoming a strategy staple. Under former President <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/10/41561517/trump-pushes-forward-with-controversial-tariff-plan-despite-growing-backlash-from-voters-who-strongl">Donald Trump,</a> tariffs were introduced on many Chinese imports, setting a barrier of about 10 to 20 percent on goods coming in from overseas.&nbsp;

Moreno's stance shows he supports encouraging investment in U.S. industries and keeping foreign competition at bay. But there's a catch: according to the Tax Foundation, U.S. businesses and consumers are now shouldering an estimated $77 billion in extra costs due to these tariffs on Chinese products.
U.S. Trade Rep. Katherine Tai argues that tariffs are essential to support American workers and maintain critical supply chains. However, Tai and other experts acknowledge the downsides, noting that tariffs can increase costs for essential components in industries like manufacturing and electronics.

The debate around tariffs, especially broad ones like those currently in effect, is far from settled. According to the Tax Foundation, tariffs on Chinese goods alone add about $77 billion in extra costs annually to U.S. businesses and consumers. This &#8220;trade tax&#8221; filters down, raising consumer prices and straining the wallets of everyday Americans.
Sen. Sherrod Brown, a former competitor of Moreno's, calls for a more nuanced approach. Brown advocates for selective <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/10/41561517/trump-pushes-forward-with-controversial-tariff-plan-despite-growing-backlash-from-voters-who-strongl">tariffs – </a>focusing on imports like Chinese electric vehicles – that protect U.S. industries critical to national security without overburdening other sectors.&nbsp;
Brown has suggested that the economic well-being of Americans is best served by focusing tariffs on strategic imports rather than blanketing an entire economy with them.

Bernie Moreno Says U.S. Tariffs Are Here To Stay – Predicts Trade Policies Will Remain Unchanged Despite Industry Pushback

Arrow Electronics's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARW#NYSE">ARW</a>) short percent of float has risen 8.32% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 2.65 million shares sold short, which is 6.51% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 6.48 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.

<h3>Comparing Arrow Electronics'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>, Arrow Electronics's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 4.27%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.
