A <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRVx4hVfu2Y">recent episode</a> of The Ramsey Show revealed a concerning situation for a caller named Liz from Mobile, Alabama. Liz shared her dilemma with hosts <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/11/42095012/according-to-dave-ramsey-answering-these-two-questions-could-be-the-difference-between-living-wealthy-or-struggling-financially">Dave Ramsey</a> and Ken Coleman: her fiancé hasn't filed taxes in 20 years. While taxes have been withheld from his paycheck, he has avoided filing returns, leaving Liz seeking advice about their future together.

<ul>
<li>Inspired by Uber and Airbnb &#8211; Deloitte's fastest-growing software company is transforming 7 billion smartphones into income-generating assets &#8211; <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mode-mobile-2">with $1,000 you can invest at just $0.26/share!</a></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>
Ramsey wasted no time pointing out the gravity of the situation. "How do you feel about planning your future with someone in jail?" he asked Liz. While not everyone who fails to file goes to jail, Ramsey noted that thousands are incarcerated for this offense each year.
The financial and legal risks tied to her fiancé's actions are significant for Liz, who is still 10 years away from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/11/41918104/are-you-on-track-to-retire-rich-heres-the-nest-egg-you-need-to-be-considered-a-wealthy-retiree">retirement</a>. Ramsey warned that the consequences could also affect Liz if she remains committed to the relationship, saying, "To the extent you're connected to him, you're gonna have a serious problem."
When Ramsey pressed Liz about her fiancé's reasoning, she admitted she wasn't entirely sure. She speculated that a history of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/09/40760261/biden-administration-says-unemployment-is-low-but-do-americans-see-it-that-way">unemployment</a> may have played a role, but she couldn't explain why he continued to avoid filing once he started working again. Ramsey described this behavior as "slothful" and lacking integrity.

Ken Coleman added to the concern by questioning the level of trust in their relationship. "If he's willing to withhold information from the federal government, what pray to tell is he willing to withhold from you?" Coleman asked. He suggested that Liz reconsider her commitment until her fiancé addresses his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/42153139/costs-have-escalated-drastically-warns-kevin-oleary-hopeful-elon-and-vivek-can-simplify-tax-and-deregulate-the-economy">tax issues</a>.
Despite the strong warnings, Ramsey offered a solution for Liz's fiancé to resolve his tax issues. He advised proactively contacting the IRS through a tax professional. He said that individuals can file the past three to four years of returns in many cases to avoid criminal charges.
Ramsey says the IRS tends to be lenient with those who come forward voluntarily. However, penalties and interest on unpaid taxes could still be significant. "If he's going to get current and not go to jail, I can actually walk him through that," Ramsey said. He also directed Liz to Ramsey Solutions' tax-endorsed local providers for help.

According to <a href="https://www.irs.gov/payments/failure-to-file-penalty">the IRS</a>, the penalty for failure to file taxes is 5% of the unpaid taxes for each month or part of a month that a tax return is late, but it won't exceed 25% of unpaid taxes.&nbsp;
Beyond the legal and financial risks, Ramsey and Coleman emphasized the broader relationship implications. Coleman highlighted that the fiancé's lack of transparency and insistence on moving for retirement – against Liz's wishes – are red flags. "This relationship is really jacked up," Coleman said, suggesting Liz pause and reassess her commitment.
Ramsey summed up his advice bluntly: unless Liz's fiancé takes immediate action to resolve his tax issues and prove his reliability, he wouldn't advise her to continue the relationship. "I don't want my little sister Liz married to a jailbird," Ramsey said.
For Liz, the decision involves more than love – protecting her financial and emotional future. Ramsey and Coleman's advice underscores the importance of integrity and trust in any partnership, especially when major financial and legal risks are involved.
If you find yourself in a similar situation, consider contacting a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-online-financial-advisors">financial advisor</a> or tax professional to help you get back on track.&nbsp;

Caller's Fiance Hasn't Filed Taxes In 20 Years – Dave Ramsey Says To Rethink Your Future With This Slothful Man

Chris Burniske, a prominent voice in the crypto space and partner at Placeholder VC, dismissed the idea of a Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) "supercycle," labeling it a &#8220;collective delusion.&#8221; 
What Happened: In a detailed <a href="https://x.com/cburniske/status/1861901539658355173">thread</a> on X on Wednesday, Burniske warned investors against the belief that Bitcoin&#8217;s bull markets will eliminate future bear markets, despite new factors such as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42165734/bitcoin-etfs-registered-record-312-billion-net-inflows-last-week">Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs)</a> and potential <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42220158/donald-trump-to-establish-a-national-bitcoin-reserve-pros-vs-cons-compared">sovereign adoption</a>.
"Every bull, people come up with reasons for why we're going stupid high or won't have a bear," Burniske wrote, reflecting on over a decade of market cycles in crypto. 
"While the ETFs and potential sovereign buying could mean we don't have as brutal a bear in the future for BTC, &#8216;supercycle&#8217; is without fail a collective delusion,&#8221; he added.
Burniske highlighted that the current bull market, which he dates back to November 2022, has propelled Bitcoin to close to $100,000—a more than sixfold increase since the bottom of the last cycle.
Other assets like Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) and Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>) have also seen <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42139601/solana-hits-264-record-high-as-etf-filings-regulatory-optimism-drive-market-momentum">exponential gains</a>, up over 4x and 30x, respectively, during the same period.
However, he cautioned investors against late entries during such bullish periods, emphasizing that the more attention crypto receives, the worse the timing often is for new buyers. 
"The painful reality is as crypto prices go up, that draws more attention, and that attention converts into buying flows," he explained. 
Burniske pointed out that the best entry points are typically when few are paying attention, as was the case two years ago.
Burniske also criticized the notion that structural changes in the market, such as institutional involvement or sovereign interest, could end the boom-and-bust nature of crypto cycles. 
"Anything that goes 100x quickly is prone to at least an 80-90% crash at some point, structurally—too many people sitting on profit," he noted.
While acknowledging that factors like ETFs could soften future bear markets, Burniske made it clear that crashes are part of the natural evolution of crypto markets. 
He also questioned recent chatter about a shortened cycle, calling it "bear market PTSD talking."

Why It Matters: For those new to crypto, Burniske advised a simple portfolio allocation focused on quality assets such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana (50/25/25%).
He cautioned against speculative investments in smaller assets without adequate research and suggested a disciplined <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42168169/bitcoin-below-100000-veteran-trader-shares-profit-taking-strategy">approach to profit-taking</a>.
"From current entry prices, if they 2x, encourage them to take half out at that point, leaving their initial cost allocated," he suggested, highlighting the importance of preparing for volatility.
As for those banking on outsized returns in the current market, Burniske warned, "No one is getting rich or crazy multiples from these prices… but they're gonna see people making good money, so it's hard to resist."

Bitcoin 'Supercycle' Narrative Is A 'Collective Delusion,' Influential Crypto Venture Capitalist Says

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) and NVIDIA (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) are seen as the top contenders for the title of the world's largest company by the end of 2024, according <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42189225/trump-threatens-25-tariffs-on-canada-mexico-until-invasion-is-stopped-but-polymarket-traders-arent-convinced">to Polymarket traders</a>.
Apple <a href="https://polymarket.com/event/largest-company-eoy?tid=1732725661447">leads</a> with a 55% probability of holding the top spot, while NVIDIA trails at 40%.
Microsoft (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), once a dominant force, has only a 4.5% chance, and other companies have less than 1%.
With $119,473 in total betting volume on the market, the data showcases investor sentiment about the dominance of these technology giants. 
Here's a closer look at the frontrunners, their industries, and current market valuations:
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Apple: Leading The Pack With 55%</h3>
Apple Inc., currently the most valuable company globally, has a market capitalization exceeding $3.47 trillion. 
The company's strength lies in its ecosystem of consumer products, including the iPhone, Mac, and Apple Watch, combined with a growing services segment featuring Apple Pay, Apple Music and iCloud.
Recent innovations, such as the Vision Pro headset and advancements in AI-powered features, continue to solidify Apple's position as a market leader. 
Its high probability on Polymarket reflects confidence in its ability to maintain its dominance in the face of strong competition.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">NVIDIA: Gaining Ground With 40%</h3>
NVIDIA, a leader in graphics processing units (GPUs) and artificial intelligence (AI), has surged in market value amid the AI boom. 
With a market cap of $3.44 trillion, NVIDIA has become a critical supplier for generative AI technologies and data center processors. 
The company's revenue has skyrocketed in 2024, driven by demand for its cutting-edge chips used in AI model training and deployment. 
Bettors view NVIDIA's innovative technology and increasing relevance in the AI-driven economy as a strong case for challenging Apple's top spot.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Microsoft: A Fading Contender At 4.5%</h3>
Microsoft, with a market cap of about $3.06 trillion, remains a powerhouse in enterprise software, cloud computing, and productivity tools. 
Its Azure cloud platform and integration of AI tools, such as Copilot in Microsoft Office, have kept it competitive. 
However, its relatively low probability on Polymarket suggests that investors view it as unlikely to overtake Apple or NVIDIA by the year's end.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Other Contenders: Less Than 1%</h3>
The &#8220;Other&#8221; category, representing all remaining global companies, has less than a 1% chance of ending 2024 as the largest, reflecting the dominance of tech giants in the global economy and the high barriers for other industries to compete at this scale.

Home Depot's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HD#NYSE">HD</a>) short percent of float has fallen 7.55% since its last report.

Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.49 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.

According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Home Depot's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 6.14%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

Peering Into Bank of America's Recent Short Interest

More than one-fifth of U.S. renters report spending their entire regular income on rent payments, pointing to the severe strain of housing costs on American households, according to new survey data from Redfin.

</ul>
The September survey of 894 renters reveals widespread financial compromises to meet housing costs. Twenty percent of respondents work second jobs to afford rent, while 19% report staying in jobs they dislike to maintain housing payments.
Financial pressure has forced many renters to make difficult choices about their long-term financial security. Fourteen percent relied on family cash gifts for rent payments, while 13% tapped retirement funds early. Another 12% reduced retirement contributions to cover housing expenses.
The findings align with broader housing affordability challenges documented in the 2023 American Community Survey. Census Bureau data shows nearly half of U.S. renter households were cost-burdened last year, according to a report issued by CNN, spending over 30% of their income on housing.&nbsp;

The burden falls disproportionately on minority communities. Over 56% of Black households and 53% of Hispanic households were cost-burdened in 2023, exceeding the national average of 49.7%. Among Black households, 30.6% qualified as severely cost-burdened, dedicating more than half their income to housing. Rising insurance costs compound the affordability crisis, particularly in areas prone to natural disasters. Census data reveals that 5.4 million of the nation&#8217;s 85.7 million homeowners paid over $4,000 annually for insurance in 2023, with Florida, Texas, California, New York and Louisiana residents facing the highest rates.

Some relief may arrive as newly constructed apartments enter the market, though affordability challenges persist as rental costs have outpaced wage growth.
Despite the difficulties, renting remains increasingly common. Redfin analysis shows renter households growing at triple the rate of homeowner households, largely because purchasing costs have escalated faster than rental rates. According to Realtor.com&#8217;s analysis of the 50 largest metro areas, buying a starter home was 61.3% more expensive than renting as of July.
The housing affordability crisis has captured attention in Washington. The incoming administration <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/11/42060564/trump-ties-housing-relief-to-mass-deportations-experts-say-not-so-fast">has signaled plans for broad housing market reforms</a>, while outgoing officials, including Vice President Harris, have proposed measures like down-payment assistance programs.&nbsp;

Market strategist Keith Fitz-Gerald believes this is just the beginning, boldly claiming that Palantir could rival Oracle Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>), Cisco Systems Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSCO#NASDAQ">CSCO</a>) and SAP SE (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SAP#NYSE">SAP</a>) — and hit $100 per share sooner than you think.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Palantir Could Hit $100 By Mid-2025, Says Expert</h2>
Fitz-Gerald, <a href="https://x.com/fitz_keith/status/1861188617739145336">speaking</a> on Fox Business, shared an upgraded outlook for the data analytics powerhouse. Initially forecasting a $100 price target within 3-5 years, he now expects Palantir to hit that milestone by mid-next year. "This thing is a monster," he said. "Nobody else has got a product like it. It's meshing data software that makes software work. Every legacy provider right now is in trouble."
The analyst's comparisons to industry titans like Oracle and Cisco come as Palantir continues to disrupt with its innovative data solutions. 
Fitz-Gerald emphasized the company's unmatched product offering, suggesting it could outpace traditional providers struggling to adapt to modern data demands.

PLTR stock, at $66.05, is flying high above all its major moving averages:
<ul>
<li>Eight-day SMA: $63.56</li>
<li>20-day SMA: $58.00</li>
<li>50-day SMA: $47.68</li>
<li>200-day SMA: $31.14</li>
</ul>
These technical signals underscore a strong uptrend, with PLTR&#8217;s Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) at 5.51, another indicator of a buying opportunity. 
However, investors should note the RSI of 73.03, suggesting the PLTR stock is in overbought territory.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Palantir: A Long-Term Play</h2>
For long-term believers, Palantir's trajectory could mirror the meteoric rise of companies like Oracle and Cisco during their heydays. With its unique ability to integrate complex data solutions across industries, Palantir is positioned to dominate a market where legacy systems are struggling to keep pace.
If Fitz-Gerald's prediction holds, Palantir could hit triple digits by next year, but investors might want to buckle up for a wild ride as the stock navigates both technical and market dynamics.
Whether Palantir becomes the next Oracle or carves its own path, one thing is clear: this data giant isn't slowing down anytime soon.

Palantir: The Next Oracle? Expert Predicts A Monster Run To $100

In the current session, the stock is trading at $126.50, after a 0.24% spike. Over the past month, TJX Companies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TJX#NYSE">TJX</a>) stock increased by 11.79%, and in the past year, by 41.91%. With performance like this, long-term shareholders are optimistic but others are more likely to look into the price-to-earnings ratio to see if the stock might be overvalued.

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1732809617_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>TJX Companies P/E Ratio Analysis in Relation to Industry Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of 21.47 in the Specialty Retail industry, TJX Companies Inc. has a higher P/E ratio of 29.76. Shareholders might be inclined to think that TJX Companies Inc. might perform better than its industry group. It's also possible that the stock is overvalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1732809617_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.

Coinbase Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>) CEO Brian Armstrong has criticized Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), calling her a &#8220;liability&#8221; to the Democratic Party and accusing her of being complicit in attempts to undermine <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42122348/trumps-planned-crypto-council-may-oversee-bitcoin-reserve-report">the cryptocurrency industry.</a>
What Happened: Armstrong's comments came in response to a tweet from Elon Musk, referring to venture capitalist Marc Andreessen <a href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1861667220876824869">alleging</a> that 30 tech founders were secretly debanked in an appearance on the Joe Rogan podcast. 
Armstrong <a href="https://x.com/brian_armstrong/status/1861890800268775923">supported</a> Musk's claim, describing the situation as "one of the most unethical and un-American things that happened in the Biden administration."
He speculated that Senator Warren played a key role, stating, "My guess is we&#8217;ll find Elizabeth Warren&#8217;s fingerprints all over it." 
He also alleged that Warren and SEC Chair <a href="https://x.com/brian_armstrong/status/1861890800268775923">Gary Gensler</a> attempted to &#8220;unlawfully kill our entire industry,&#8221; suggesting that their actions contributed to the Democratic Party's poor performance in the recent elections.
Armstrong also revealed that Coinbase is pursuing Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests to gather documents to uncover the full extent of the issue and determine if any laws were broken.
"We're still collecting documents via FOIA requests, so hopefully the full story emerges of who was involved," Armstrong added.

Why It Matters: The Coinbase CEO&#8217;s criticism reflects growing tensions between the cryptocurrency industry and certain Democratic leaders, particularly Warren, who has long been a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/41963342/elizabeth-warrens-sarcastic-take-on-doges-split-leadership-gets-slammed-by-elon-musk-unlike-you-neither-of-us-are-being-paid">vocal critic of crypto</a>.
Warren's stance on cryptocurrency has been a polarizing issue, with proponents accusing her of stifling innovation through excessive regulation, while her supporters argue that tighter controls are necessary to curb fraud and environmental harm.
Armstrong's remarks come amid increasing scrutiny of regulatory policies under the Biden administration, with crypto advocates pointing to what they see as overreach by agencies <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42131449/with-gary-gensler-preparing-to-quit-in-2025-secs-crypto-cases-likely-to-quietly-go-away-amid-trumps-pro-bitcoin-stance-says-pantera-capitals-katrina-paglia">like the SEC</a>.

Coinbase's Armstrong: Warren Was Involved In 'One Of The Most Unethical, Un-American Things In The Biden Administration'

President-elect Donald Trump has nominated <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care/24/11/42077935/trump-picks-dr-oz-who-says-seniors-should-give-medical-marijuana-a-try-to-lead-centers-for-medicare-and-medicaid-services">Dr. Mehmet Oz</a> to lead the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), sparking conversations about potential changes to Medicare. This key agency oversees health programs for over 160 million Americans, including Medicare, Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program.

</ul>
Dr. Oz, best known for his TV show and controversial medical advice, is a vocal proponent of expanding Medicare Advantage (MA), the private alternative to traditional Medicare.&nbsp;
How could his nomination impact Medicare beneficiaries – particularly in regard to their costs and benefits?
Dr. Oz has long championed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/10/41570507/medicare-advantage-shake-up-how-health-insurance-plans-could-change-for-up-to-44-000-new-hampshi">Medicare Advantage</a>, which allows seniors to opt for private plans instead of traditional Medicare. These plans often appeal to enrollees with lower premiums and additional perks like dental, hearing and gym memberships. However, they come with trade-offs, such as limited provider networks and prior authorization requirements that can delay or deny care.

Currently, 54% of Medicare enrollees are in Advantage plans, which could grow under Oz's leadership. Some experts speculate that Oz might push to make MA the default choice for new enrollees, as suggested in the conservative Heritage Foundation&#8217;s Project 2025 report.
"When plans are paid more, that does seem to result in more generous benefits for Medicare Advantage enrollees," Matthew Fiedler of the Brookings Institution told Yahoo Finance. However, critics warn that this could strain Medicare's finances.
In announcing Oz's nomination, Trump stated that TV doctors would reduce &#8220;waste and fraud&#8221; in Medicare, which costs the government billions annually. According to the Government Accountability Office (GAO), improper payments in Medicare and Medicaid exceeded $100 billion in 2023. Addressing these issues could help extend Medicare's solvency, especially as its trust fund faces potential depletion by 2036.

Yet, experts are skeptical about significant changes targeting Medicare Advantage, which some studies suggest leads to overpayments and excessive profits for insurers. The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget estimated that Medicare Advantage overpayments could cost taxpayers up to $1.6 trillion over the next decade.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care/24/11/42077057/trump-picks-dr-oz-as-centers-for-medicare-and-medicaid-services-administrator">Oz and Trump</a> have expressed a desire to make prescription drugs more affordable. While Oz has discussed streamlining clinical trials to cut costs, it remains unclear if he would support provisions from the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), such as Medicare's $2,000 cap on out-of-pocket drug expenses.
Trending: Many are using this retirement income calculator to check if they&#8217;re on pace —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-do-i-calculate-my-retirement-income-adv"> here&#8217;s a breakdown on what&#8217;s behind this formula.</a>
Although some Republicans advocate repealing the IRA, most experts believe the cap on drug costs will remain untouched. "Nobody's going to mess with the $2,000 cap," says elder advocate Bob Blancato at the Gerontological Society of America (GSA) conference before Oz was nominated.
Oz's leadership could mean expanded access to Medicare Advantage plans for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/10/41257459/biden-administration-unveils-plan-to-provide-generic-drugs-for-2-to-medicare-recipients">Medicare beneficiaries</a>, potentially offering more perks but with stricter provider networks. However, these changes might also increase costs for taxpayers and the traditional Medicare program in the long term.
Ultimately, whether Dr. Oz can deliver on promises to cut waste and fraud while maintaining or improving benefits remains to be seen. Seniors and policymakers alike will be watching closely as his tenure unfolds. Understanding these potential changes can help you make informed decisions about your health care options.&nbsp;

<h3>The Importance of Insider Transactions</h3>
Investors should view insider transactions as part of a multifaceted analysis and not rely solely on them for decision-making.
In legal terms, an "insider" refers to any officer, director, or beneficial owner of more than ten percent of a company's equity securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This can include executives in the c-suite and large hedge funds. These insiders are required to let the public know of their transactions via a Form 4 filing, which must be filed within two business days of the transaction.
When a company insider makes a new purchase, that is an indication that they expect the stock to rise.
Insider sells, on the other hand, can be made for a variety of reasons, and may not necessarily mean that the seller thinks the stock will go down. 
<h3>Navigating the World of Insider Transaction Codes</h3>
When analyzing transactions, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">investors</a> tend to focus on those in the open market, detailed in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 denotes a purchase,while S signifies a sale. Transaction code C signals the conversion of an option, and transaction code A denotes a grant, award, or other acquisition of securities from the company.

<h3>Why Insider Transactions Are Key in Investment Decisions</h3>

<h3>Exploring the Significance of Insider Trading</h3>
Investors should view insider transactions as part of a multifaceted analysis and not rely solely on them for decision-making.

This includes executives in the c-suite and major hedge funds. These insiders are mandated to disclose their transactions through a Form 4 filing, to be submitted within two business days of the transaction.
Pointing towards optimism, a company insider's new purchase signals their positive anticipation for the stock to rise.
Nevertheless, insider sells may not necessarily indicate a bearish view and can be influenced by various factors.

<h3>Illuminating the Importance of Insider Transactions</h3>
Investors should view insider transactions as part of a multifaceted analysis and not rely solely on them for decision-making.
From a legal standpoint, the term "insider" pertains to any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than ten percent of a company's equity securities as outlined in Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This encompasses executives in the c-suite and significant hedge funds. These insiders are mandated to inform the public of their transactions through a Form 4 filing, to be submitted within two business days of the transaction.
A company insider's new purchase is a indicator of their positive anticipation for a rise in the stock.
While insider sells may not necessarily reflect a bearish view and can be motivated by various factors.
<h3>Transaction Codes Worth Your Attention</h3>
When dissecting transactions, the focal point for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">investors</a> is often those occurring in the open market, meticulously detailed in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 denotes a purchase, while S signifies a sale. Transaction code C indicates the conversion of an option, and transaction code A denotes a grant, award, or other acquisition of securities from the company.
