<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 TransUnion'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>, TransUnion's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 2.95%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

Private equity billionaire Marc Rowan, who has emerged as a contender for the Treasury Secretary post, has openly admitted to being "out of my depth" when it comes to understanding cryptocurrency's role in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/24/11/42053981/trump-sec-pick-speculation-sends-this-altcoin-soaring-past-bitcoin-and-ethereum-in-daily-gains">U.S. financial system</a>.
What Happened: In a recent <a href="https://conversationswithtyler.com/episodes/marc-rowan/">podcast </a>with economist Tyler Cowen, the CEO of Apollo Global Management reflected on the complexities of cryptocurrency within the financial sector. 
Rowan criticized the limited understanding of crypto among prominent figures, including potential policymakers.
He said, "Out of my depth. Absolutely no idea," when asked directly about crypto's future role in the U.S. financial system.
Rowan further highlighted the potential for stablecoins and on-ramps to streamline the financial system but dismissed the relevance of alternative currencies in a regulated environment. 
"I see every opportunity for [stablecoins] to reduce the cost, to reduce the friction of dealing with the financial system," Rowan said.
However, he added, "In a KYC-AML world, I don't see a value for an alternative currency."
While Rowan was candid about his own lack of involvement in crypto through Apollo, his remarks raised questions about Warsh's readiness to tackle the growing importance of digital assets as a key component of financial policy.

Why It Matters: Prediction market Polymarket currently <a href="https://polymarket.com/event/who-will-trump-nominate-for-treasury-secretary">places</a> former Federal Reserve Governor Kevin Warsh as the leading candidate for the Treasury Secretary position, with a 50% chance.
Other contenders are hedge fund manager Scott Bessent (20%) and Rowan (20%). However, the volatile market reflects the participants&#8217; uncertainty, with Bessent&#8217;s and Rowan&#8217;s chances having traded above 50% in recent days.
Elon Musk also weighed in on the selection process, using his social media platform X to endorse Howard Lutnick, CEO of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/24/11/42044642/trump-appears-frustrated-as-elon-musk-chimes-in-on-treasury-secretary-adds-more-names-to-a-list-of-potential-picks">Cantor Fitzgerald, for the position. </a>
While Lutnick was recently picked to lead the Commerce Department, Musk's public endorsement added another layer of speculation and reshaped the dynamics of the Treasury Secretary race.
Reports indicate that infighting among camps supporting Bessent and Lutnick has frustrated Trump, prompting him to consider alternatives. 
Rowan's candidacy has reportedly gained momentum following Lutnick's commerce appointment, while Bessent remains a strong competitor despite internal disputes.
The Treasury Secretary's role in shaping policies around these technologies will be critical as the U.S. faces growing competition from countries advancing their own <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/40837533/put-in-the-cbdc-russian-central-bank-targets-july-2025-for-widespread-digital-ruble-use">central bank digital currencies (CBDCs)</a>.

<stock_ticker>OTC:GTRIF</stock_ticker> &#x7C; <stock_ticker>ASX:GTR</stock_ticker>

<a href="https://s27.q4cdn.com/906368049/files/News/2022/Zacks_SCR_Research_08222022_GTRIF_Ralston.pdf">READ THE FULL GTRIF RESEARCH REPORT</a>

GTI Energy Ltd (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GTRIF#OTC">GTRIF</a>) (ASX:GTR) is a mineral exploration company now focused on acquiring and advancing U.S.-based uranium assets. Not only are uranium prices anticipated to rise due to a projected supply/demand imbalance in the upcoming years, but also there are pressures to develop U.S. uranium mines in order to secure domestic supply for U.S. nuclear reactors, which as a group are the world's largest consumer of uranium fuel.

The company has acquired highly prospective uranium properties in Wyoming (Great Divide Basin aka GDB) and Utah (the part of the Colorado Plateau in southeastern Utah). Both areas have had historical uranium production with extant processing facilities: the Lost Creek ISR facility (UR Energy) and the Sweetwater/Kennecott mill (Rio Tinto) in Wyoming and the White Mesa Mill (Energy Fuels Resources) in southeast Utah.
	
 <img src="//s27.q4cdn.com/906368049/files/pictures/2022/08222022_GTRIF_1.png" style="width: 650px;" />

Management is keen to advance its Great Divide Basin and Green Mountain Projects where roll-front uranium deposits are amenable to low-cost ISR (In Situ Recovery) mining methods. The imminent 100,000ft drilling program of the Great Divide Basin Project is designed to support a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate, which is expected during 2023.

Wyoming Uranium Properties (Great Divide Basin Project and the Green Mountain Project)

In Wyoming's Great Divide Basin, GTI Energy acquired Branka Minerals Pty Ltd (958 mineral lode claims and two state leases) in November 2021 and Logray Minerals Pty Ltd (672 mineral lode claims) in June 2022. The two acquisitions, which are in close proximity to each other, have been renamed the Great Divide Basin Project and the Green Mountain Project, respectively. The redox (aka reduction-oxidation) boundaries formed in the Great Divide Basin are conducive to the formation of roll-front uranium deposits, which are usually amenable to ISR (In Situ Recovery), the lowest-cost mining method for uranium. The redox boundaries of the Great Divide Basin (gold-colored lines in the map below) cross through the company's properties and are highly prospective for front roll uranium deposits. 

Proximate deposits with MREs (mineral resource estimates) are Lost Creek (18.52 Mlbs eU308), Lost Soldier (17.25 Mlbs eU308) and JAB (4.14 Mlbs eU308).

Wyoming Uranium Properties – Planned Exploration

Management is planning for a 100,000ft (30,480m) drilling program at the Great Divide Basin projects, including up to 70 holes (approximately 40,000ft) of follow-up drilling at the Thor Project. The company is pursuing the necessary permits and the required bond(s). 

The drilling program also will include exploration drilling at certain lode claim blocks approximately 10km north of the Thor lode claims (namely Loki, Odin, Teebo and Wicket East). These blocks are in the vicinity of Ur-Energy's Lost Soldier deposit and Uranium Energy's Antelope and Twin Buttes projects with the mapped redux boundary crossing through Loki and Wicket East. 

Up to 20 holes (circa 20,000ft or 6,100m) of drilling are planned for Wicket East, which very near to the southern boundary of Ur-Energy's Lost Soldier deposit. The program seeks to explore a distance of three miles for a projected mineralized trend that may extend from the Lost Soldier property.

The drilling program is slated to commence soon and is expected be completed before Christmas. This drilling is designed to support a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate during 2023.

Utah Uranium Properties (Henry Mountains Project)

Situated in the northern portion of the Colorado Plateau (in southeastern Utah), the Henry Mountains Project was assembled by GTI Energy in October 2020 through the acquisition of Voyager Energy Pty Ltd (161 mineral lode claims) and also the purchase of two mining leases from Anfield Energy (TSX.V:AEC). The area has a plethora of past-producing uranium-vanadium mines (well over 140 mines) and occurrences.

The uranium deposits bodies in the vicinity of the Henry Mountains tend to be tabular-or lens-shaped uranium-enriched ore bodies, most commonly hosted in sandstone of the lowermost sequence of the Salt Wash Member of the Jurassic Morrison Formation and accompanied by vanadium. Extraction methods and processing of uranium ore from tabular sandstone deposits requires hard rock techniques, namely conventional open-pit/underground mining, crushing, grinding and a leach process. 

The Shootaring-Delmonte and Cottonwood Wash-Trachyte mining sub-districts in the South Henry Mountains Mining District historically have produced about 650,000 pounds of U3O8  plus an additional 2,480,000 pounds of V2O5. GTI Energy's exploration programs (mapping, sampling and drill programs) have focused on a 5km mineralized trend extending between the company's Rat Nest and Jeffrey claim groups, along with mapping and X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy of the walls in two underground mines on mineral lease ML 52627.

Spin-Off of Niagara Gold Project (near Kookynie, Western Australia
