Shineco's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SISI#NYSE">SISI</a>) short percent of float has fallen 26.15% since its last report.

Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 1.0 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 Shineco has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Shineco'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>, Shineco's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 4.50%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

(PFE) - Analyzing Pfizer's Short Interest

Linda McMahon is no stranger to working with President-elect Donald Trump and will likely be a member of the new White House administration pending an official nomination <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/restaurants/24/11/42043491/rfk-jr-wants-donald-trump-to-cut-out-mcdonalds-the-stuff-that-he-eats-is-really-like-bad">and Congressional approval.</a>
Here's a look at McMahon's history with Trump and her investing portfolio linked to her long-running history in the sport of wrestling.
What Happened: Most recently serving as the co-chair of Trump's 2024<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/08/40422152/will-trump-body-slam-2024-election-new-transition-team-co-chair-led-wwe-for-decades"> election transition team</a>, McMahon has been announced as Trump's pick to be the next secretary of the Department of Education.
Trump has previously said he wants to do away with the Department of Education, which could put an emphasis on McMahon to eliminate items from the department and pick which items to save and place under other departments.
While McMahon's lack of experience in the education sector is being scrutinized, it would be hard to say that the Trump pick doesn't have success leading businesses.
McMahon helped grow WWE from 1980 to 2009 and is credited with helping to build the brand through product merchandising and television deals, two key items that turned the wrestling and sports venture into one of the largest worldwide.
WWE is now a unit of TKO Group Holdings Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TKO#NYSE">TKO</a>), a sports holding company that also owns the UFC.
Before a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/23/09/34455843/wwe-and-ufc-merge-on-tuesday-heres-what-you-need-to-know">merger with UFC</a> in 2023, WWE had been in the McMahon family for over 70 years.
WWE is not as close to the McMahon family as it once was. Linda's husband and high school sweetheart Vince McMahon stepped away from WWE in 2022 due to an ongoing scandal and later stepped down from a leadership role with TKO Group Holdings in 2024 over sex trafficking lawsuits.
The couple is currently separated, according to <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2024/11/21/business/linda-mcmahon-abuse-wwe-trump-education/index.html">CNN</a>.
The McMahons are worth an estimated $3 billion together with the vast majority of the family wealth related to the past interest in WWE and current stakes in TKO Group Holdings.
A report from <a href="https://wrestlenomics.com/articles/2024/who-owns-wwe-after-the-tko-merger-and-before/">Wrestlenomics </a>said Vince McMahon has sold portions of his TKO Group Holdings stock, but Linda McMahon has not sold her stake.
The Washington Post <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/11/19/linda-mcmahon-trump-administration-wwe-allegations/">lists </a>Vince's TKO Group Holdings stake valued at around $950 million and Linda's stake valued at around $67 million.
Linda McMahon currently <a href="https://s3.amazonaws.com/sec.irpass.cc/2660/0001474506-24-000117.pdf">serves </a>as an independent director on the board of directors for Trump Media &amp; Technology Group (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DJT#NASDAQ">DJT</a>), the media company co-founded by Trump.
SEC filings reveal that McMahon does not hold shares of the company and was not paid in 2022 or 2023 for her role as a director. McMahon may receive DJT shares as non-cash compensation "from time to time" according a filing.
If approved as the next Department of Education lead, McMahon is expected to place her financial holdings in a blind trust and resign from board memberships according to her counsel Laura Brevetti.

</ul>
Close Connections to Trump: After leading WWE for many years, McMahon stepped down in 2009 to pursue politics. McMahon ran for a U.S. Senate seat two times, losing in the 2010 and 2012 general elections after securing the Republican Party nomination.
McMahon has been a donor to the Republican Party and past Trump campaigns, which is part of the family's friendship with the president-elect. Trump and Vince's friendship dates back to 1988 when the duo worked together on a Wrestlemania near a Trump-owned casino and a storyline involving the millionaires.
Linda McMahon previously served as the head of the Small Business Administration (SBA) from 2017 to 2019 under Trump, making her one of the few returning faces to the next White House administration under Trump.
McMahon previously stepped down from the SBA to take on a new role as part of his 2020 re-election campaign team. The former wrestling leader has also helped lead a political action committee (PAC) connected to Trump.

<a href="https://www.racefans.net/2024/11/25/cadillac-has-agreement-in-principal-to-enter-f1-in-2026-ben-sulayem/">https://www.racefans.net/2024/11/25/cadillac-has-agreement-in-principal-to-enter-f1-in-2026-ben-sulayem/</a>
&nbsp;
FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem has confirmed Formula 1 is working towards adding an 11th team to the grid for the 2026 season.
Ben Sulayem said the General Motors brand has an "agreement in principle" to join the series.
&nbsp;
The FIA approved an application to enter the world championship from Andretti Global in October last year. However Formula One Management must also give its approval for any new team to join the grid, and it rejected the application earlier this year.
However rumours during the Las Vegas Grand Prix weekend claimed FOM was preparing to announce a reversal of its position which would allow the new entrant to arrive in 2026.
Andretti obtained the backing of General Motors brand Cadillac, which announced it planned to enter as as the team's power unit supplier in 2028. Since then Michael Andretti has stepped down in charge of the Silverstone-based project, prompting speculation Cadillac would rebrand the entire entry.
Ben Sulayem, who <a href="https://www.racefans.net/2023/10/08/fia-president-ben-sulayem-confident-andretti-cadillac-will-join-f1-grid/">said last year he was "confident" the team would join the series</a>, has given the clearest indication yet FOM is seriously considering a U-turn on its opposition to the project.

Wedbush Securities analyst Daniel Ives has significantly increased his optimism on the next phase of the AI revolution, focusing on its transformative impact on the software sector.
The analyst projects a monumental shift driven by generative AI adoption, enterprise consumption, and large language model (LLM) launches. As a result, Ives has upgraded Snowflake Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNOW#NYSE">SNOW</a>) and Elastic NV (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ESTC#NYSE">ESTC</a>) to Outperform and raised price targets for Palantir Technologies Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>) and Salesforce Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRM#NYSE">CRM</a>) to reflect their enhanced growth potential.

Ives notes Snowflake has moved past its &#8220;optimization&#8221; phase, citing substantial quarter-over-quarter improvements in product revenue. Snowflake stands to gain from the explosion of AI use cases over the next 12 to 18 months, positioning itself as a pivotal player in the enterprise adoption of generative AI.
The analyst upgraded Snowflake to Outperform, raising its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/SNOW/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">price target to $190</a>, supported by a 30x long-term free cash flow (FCF) estimate.
For Elastic, Ives highlights its strategic alignment with enterprises shifting to next-generation platforms. Customers are consolidating spending by moving from legacy vendors to Elastic&#8217;s AI-powered solutions bolstered by the company&#8217;s express migration program.
Ives upgraded Elastic to Outperform with a new <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ESTC/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">price target of $135</a>, based on 8x its fiscal year 2026 enterprise value-to-revenue (EV/Revs) ratio.
Ives raised his <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/PLTR/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">price target for</a> Palantir from $57 to $75, leveraging a 38x long-term FCF target. He cites Palantir&#8217;s groundbreaking AIP strategy, which enables enterprises to harness AI across diverse use cases. The company&#8217;s robust product suite is expected to drive unprecedented demand as businesses increasingly recognize its value.
Ives increased his <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/CRM/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">price target for</a> Salesforce from $325 to $375, citing a 28x long-term EBITDA valuation. His research indicates rising customer enthusiasm for Salesforce&#8217;s AI-integrated product offerings, which drive the company&#8217;s next wave of growth.
Ives sees the broader software sector as entering an inflection point, projecting $2 trillion in AI spending in the coming years. With enterprises set to adopt AI at scale by 2025, companies like Snowflake, Elastic, Palantir, and Salesforce are poised to benefit from this unprecedented technological revolution.
Price Actions: SNOW stock is up 3.12% at $172.67 at last check Monday. ESTC is up 3.85%, PLTR is up 0.80% and CRM is down 0.21%.

Pump.fun, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/05/38897152/solana-meme-coin-platform-pump-fun-exploited-for-1-9m-vows-to-repay-users">a decentralized platform</a> for creating Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>)-based meme coins, has come under intense scrutiny after reports of harmful and violent behavior surfaced on its livestream feature.
What Happened: The platform, which has gained popularity in the crypto space, is now facing backlash from the community, with many calling for the livestream function to be disabled altogether until proper moderation tools are in place.
Concerns about the platform escalated on Nov. 25 when a user livestreamed a disturbing incident.
Beau, a Pudgy Penguins safety project manager, <a href="https://x.com/beausecurity/status/1860859118124138610">reported</a> on X (formerly Twitter) that an individual on Pump.fun threatened suicide if their coin failed to reach a specific market capitalization.
Beau urged the platform to intervene immediately, disable the livestream and offer support to the individual.
Other alarming incidents include a user allegedly firing a gun out of a window each time their meme coin&#8217;s value increased, and a child threatening harm to family members if a token price goal wasn't met. 
One of the most distressing reports involved a user claiming they would carry out a school shooting if their coin didn't pump. 
Community members labeled the livestream feature a "pipeline of felonies," with many urging Pump.fun to shut it down until better safeguards are introduced.
The platform's livestream feature has become a flashpoint for criticism. 
One X user commented, "Turning on a camera to showcase your own depravity to the world isn't noble or novel," emphasizing the need for immediate deactivation of the feature.

Why It Matters: The concerns are reflected in Polymarket predictions, where users are actively betting on whether Pump.fun will disable its livestream feature by Friday.
The prediction market <a href="https://polymarket.com/event/pumpfun-ends-livestreaming-by-friday?tid=1732551799626">indicates</a> only a 21% chance the livestream will be shut down by Friday, highlighting skepticism about the platform's ability to act swiftly in addressing these issues.
Alon, the pseudonymous leader of Pump.fun, <a href="https://x.com/a1lon9/status/1860036153249787911">defended</a> the platform's moderation efforts while acknowledging the community's concerns.
"We have a large team of moderators working around the clock and an internal team of engineers dealing with increased scale," Alon said. 
He stressed that moderation has been a priority since the platform's inception and assured users that harmful content is being addressed.
Despite these assurances, critics argue that Pump.fun's measures are insufficient given the severity of the incidents. 
The community continues to demand more transparency and immediate action to prevent harmful broadcasts. 
However, the platform has not disclosed specific plans for additional safeguards or changes to its livestream feature.
