Dow Gains 50 Points, SEALSQ Shares Rally (CORRECTED)

China revealed additional economic stimulus measures on Tuesday in an effort to revive its struggling economy. Some hedge fund managers anticipated the move and have been buying up shares of Chinese tech companies that could benefit as Beijing unleashes more <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42671739/chinese-stocks-surge-on-stimulus-plans-to-counter-us-tariff-risks">fiscal support.&nbsp;</a>
The Details: China's Ministry of Finance on Tuesday pledged to boost domestic demand, increase government spending through pension and medical insurance subsidies and support a consumer goods trade-in program.&nbsp;

According to a Reuters report, Beijing is also planning to increase special government bond issuance to 3 trillion yuan in 2025, up from 1 trillion yuan in 2024, to spur growth.&nbsp;
The People's Bank of China held rates steady this week, but investors anticipate more rate cuts next year, possibly in response to U.S. tariffs which may come with the Trump administration. 
Expert Traders: Hedge funds led by seasoned investors Michael Burry and John Tepper made <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/11/42000692/david-teppers-appaloosa-trims-alibaba-stake-by-476-in-q3-2024-doubles-down-on-pdd-holdings-and-jd.com">significant investments</a> in Chinese stocks that may react to China's ongoing economic stimulus efforts.&nbsp;
‘Big Short': Burry's Scion Asset Management fund is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/11/42002224/big-short-investor-michael-burry-doubles-down-on-chinese-tech-stocks-while-adding-protective-hedges">heavily invested</a> in Chinese companies and added to its sizable positions in the third quarter, according to the latest 13F filing. 
Scion holds 200,000 shares of Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>), representing its top holding and 16.36% of the fund's total investments. Chinese e-commerce giant JD.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JD#NASDAQ">JD</a>) is the firm's second-largest holding, with 500,000 shares, representing 15.41% of its portfolio. 
John Tepper: Appaloosa Management's Tepper <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/long-ideas/24/09/41050711/stocks-rise-as-china-signals-more-stimulus-billionaire-david-tepper-bets-big-on-everythi">recently told</a> CNBC that he was bullish on "everything" China-related due to the government's stimulus efforts and the firm's most recent SEC filings shows the investor put his money where his mouth is. 
"I didn't know that they were going to bring out the big guns," Tepper <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/10/03/hedge-funds-pile-into-chinese-stocks-as-stimulus-sparks-enthusiasm-.html">said</a> on CNBC's Squawk Box. "They kind of blew away expectations on the fiscal stimulus &#8230; And I think there's a whole shift."
Alibaba and PDD Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PDD#NASDAQ">PDD</a>) are the top holdings in Appaloosa's fund, which also holds smaller positions in JD.com, Baidu, Inc.

IBM's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBM#NYSE">IBM</a>) short percent of float has risen 9.17% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 23.14 million shares sold short, which is 2.5% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 5.84 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>IBM Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1735238720_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for IBM 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 IBM'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>, IBM's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 3.15%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

Check Out What Whales Are Doing With QuantumScape

In a podcast, personal finance guru Dave Ramsey boldly declared that even if offered $1 billion at 0% interest for 10 years, he wouldn't take it. That's right, not even a billion dollars with no interest could tempt Ramsey to break his cardinal rule of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/09/40764506/dave-ramsey-says-youll-never-win-with-money-while-paying-payments-the-real-cost-of-debt">never borrowing money</a>.
Why is he so adamant? Ramsey's belief comes from years of teaching and living by one simple idea: debt is a risk and he's not willing to take that chance. "I don't borrow money," Ramsey said confidently, staying true to the advice he's shared with millions through his books, radio show, podcast and financial classes.
Don't Miss:
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">Are you rich?</a> Here&#8217;s what Americans think you need to be considered wealthy.</li>
<li>Can you guess how many Americans successfully retire with $1,000,000 saved?<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/1milsaved"> The percentage may shock you</a>.</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Power of Staying Debt-Free</h2>
For Ramsey, living without debt is more than just a financial strategy – it's a way of life. He believes that borrowing compromises financial freedom no matter how favorable the terms. By avoiding debt, Ramsey says you eliminate risk and maximize your income's potential to build wealth and create security.
"Your most powerful wealth-building tool is your income," he explained. "When you don't have any debt, you've freed up cash flow to build wealth." So even with the hypothetical offer of $1 billion at 0% interest, Ramsey's focus on staying debt-free trumps the appeal of having a sizable amount of interest-free capital.

<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/09/40883246/graham-stephan-challenges-dave-ramsey-on-whether-good-debt-can-build-wealth-are-we-underestimati">Graham Stephan</a>, host of The Iced Coffee Hour <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFrRAGKFbu0">podcast</a> where Ramsey made these comments, argued that borrowing $1 billion and investing it in a safe option like Treasury bonds – currently offering 5% yields – would generate massive returns. Ramsey's response? It's not just about the math; it's about principles.
"Mathematically, it might make sense," he admitted. "But I built a career and financial success on avoiding debt and I'm not about to change that now. Borrowing money is an unnecessary risk and I'm not interested in playing that game."
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Philosophy Rooted in Experience</h2>
Ramsey's firm stance on debt is deeply personal. Early in his career, he amassed significant wealth through real estate investments, heavily leveraging debt to grow his portfolio. But when the market turned, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/12/42514449/dave-ramsey-says-his-wife-wanted-to-leave-him-but-she-didnt-have-a-car-hitting-rock-bottom-finan">Ramsey lost everything</a> and declared bankruptcy. That experience shaped his financial philosophy and fueled his commitment to living debt-free.
Trending: The average American couple has saved this much money for retirement —<a href="http://www.benzinga.com/money/smartasset"> How do you compare</a>?
The same tenets still guide Ramsey Solutions, his financial education empire, today. The expansive Franklin, Tennessee, campus that serves as the company's headquarters was constructed entirely without borrowed funds.
Ramsey's message is that wealth comes from discipline, intentionality and patience, not shortcuts or leveraging debt. His <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/12/42380649/dave-ramsey-warns-23-year-old-homebuyer-dont-skip-this-critical-step-before-buying-your-first-house">Baby Steps program</a>, which has helped millions of people get out of debt and build financial security, is based on this philosophy. From saving a $1,000 emergency fund to paying off all non-mortgage debt and investing 15% of your income for retirement, the steps prioritize stability and long-term wealth over quick fixes.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Sticking to His Guns</h2>
While rejecting a hypothetical $1 billion may seem drastic to some, it's simply a matter of consistency. Everything he has taught for decades would be contradicted if he accepted that money. He has personally witnessed the devastating effects debt can have on people's lives and he's unwilling to go there (again) for any amount of money.

Trader Notes: Crypto trader Javon Marks highlighted that FLOKI is showing bullish momentum near a critical resistance level of $0.0002761. 
A breakout could result in a 50% upward move, with a possible rally to $0.0005467—<a href="https://x.com/JavonTM1/status/1872333522972946828">marking</a> a +200% upside from current levels.
Another trader, Inmortal, emphasized that Floki stands out among meme coins due to its active development, suggesting it is &#8220;ready to lead the next leg up.&#8221;

Meanwhile, TheCryptoBull <a href="https://x.com/TheCryptoBull77/status/1872164531918733585">speculated</a> that Floki's ETP launch might set the stage for further ETF discussions in 2025.
Community News: In a proposal from Dec. 25, Floki has announced plans to launch an ETP in partnership with an asset manager and ETP issuer. 
This move positions Floki as the second meme coin, after Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>), to offer a live ETP. 
The proposed product is slated for listing on the SIX Swiss Exchange, Switzerland's largest stock exchange, in early Q1 2025.
Unlike Dogecoin's ETP, which is listed on Sweden's Spotlight Stock Market, Floki's debut on the SIX Swiss Exchange is seen as a significant step up in credibility and appeal.
To fund the ETP&#8217;s launch, the Floki team has <a href="https://snapshot.box/#/s:floki-inu.eth/proposal/0x50aa497ab85e56c5ec16cff70acd4e5146b333db06e5528496c931db4c62cbe6">proposed</a> a DAO vote to allocate liquidity. 
Of the 16.3 billion FLOKI tokens held in a designated wallet, a portion will be used for ETP liquidity, while the rest will be burned upon the ETP&#8217;s launch.
The Floki team's ETP aims to make the cryptocurrency accessible to institutional and retail investors in a secure and regulated manner. 
The initiative is designed to bridge the gap between traditional finance (TradFi) and crypto markets, offering a transparent vehicle for holding FLOKI.
