<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.

Here's How Much You Would Have Made Owning Stryker Stock In The Last 10 Years

Mark Cuban Compared Bananas To Bitcoin – ‘I'd Rather Have Bananas. I Can Eat Bananas' And Says Crypto Is ‘So Complicated' For 99% Of People
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/09/40985018/mark-cubans-black-amex-card-was-declined-trying-to-buy-a-140-000-bottle-of-champagne-after-his-n">Mark Cuban</a> isn't exactly known for sugarcoating things; his take on Bitcoin is no exception. In a 2019 Wired Q&amp;A on YouTube, Cuban delivered one of his most memorable zingers: "I'd rather have bananas. I can eat bananas. Crypto, not so much." It wasn't just a throwaway line either – he had a full breakdown of why he felt that way and it's surprisingly practical.
Cuban clarified that Bitcoin's value is entirely speculative for him. "Bitcoin is worth what somebody will pay for it," he said, comparing it to collectibles like baseball cards, comic books and artwork. "There's no real intrinsic value. You can't eat a baseball card," he pointed out. "Your artwork might look good on the wall, but not much you can do with it. Bitcoin – there's even less you can do with it."

</ul>
If that sounds harsh, Cuban wasn't done yet. He called out the complexity of crypto, saying, "Crypto is so complicated for 99% of the population. Do you put it in a device? Do you print it out? How do you keep it from being hacked?" He didn't dismiss the underlying technology – he sees potential in blockchain – but his issue with Bitcoin is its lack of utility and accessibility for everyday people.
Despite all this criticism, Cuban wasn't telling people to avoid Bitcoin entirely. He's just always been up-front about the risks. In 2017, he told Vanity Fair, "If you're a true adventurer and you want to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/08/40318568/mark-cuban-says-to-get-rich-invest-10-of-savings-in-high-risk-investments-but-if-its-bitcoin-thr">throw the Hail Mary</a>, you might take 10% [of your savings] and put it in Bitcoin or ethereum. But, if you do that, you've got to pretend you've already lost your money."

By 2024, Cuban's outlook on Bitcoin had evolved somewhat. In a July post on X, he speculated that geopolitical uncertainty and the declining value of the U.S. dollar could push Bitcoin into "safe haven" territory, much like gold. "How high can the price go? Way higher than you think," he wrote. "Remember, the market for BTC is global. The supply has a final limit of 21m BTC, with unlimited fractionalization. Crazy? It already happens in countries facing hyperinflation."
Mark Cuban's take on Bitcoin is pretty straightforward: it's not worthless, but it's not the slam dunk some make it out to be. He wants people to understand what they're investing in and not just buy into the hype.
His infamous banana analogy wasn't about mocking crypto – it was about arguing that Bitcoin is only worth what someone else is willing to pay.&nbsp;

Regarding financial advice, Cuban's been vocal about the pitfalls of credit card debt, emphasizing that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/11/42248381/mark-cuban-insists-credit-cards-are-not-your-friend-and-proposes-taking-out-a-personal-loan-for-expenses-instead-is-this-a-smart-move">paying off high-interest debt</a> is one of the best investments you can make. In an interview with Money, he said, "Using a credit card is OK if you pay it off at the end of the month. Just recognize that the 18% or 20% or 30% you're paying in credit card debt will cost you a lot more than you ever could earn anywhere else."
Cuban also advises against investing in things you don't understand. He once wrote, "If you don't fully understand the risks of an investment you are contemplating, it's OK to do nothing."
Before diving into any investment, it's wise to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">consult with a financial advisor</a> to ensure it aligns with your financial goals and risk tolerance.

(PCVX) - Analyzing Vaxcyte's Short Interest

<a href="https://medium.com/@mingchikuo/nvidia-gb300-b300-drmos-testing-update-severe-thermal-issues-with-aos-mps-order-trends-may-be-e324ab6a0a2b">https://medium.com/@mingchikuo/nvidia-gb300-b300-drmos-testing-update-severe-thermal-issues-with-aos-mps-order-trends-may-be-e324ab6a0a2b</a>
Event: The DrMOS chips currently being tested for the GB300/B300 system are AOS's 5x5 and MPS's 5x6. My latest supply chain survey indicates that AOS's chips were experiencing severe thermal issues.
Analysis: 1. Nvidia prioritized testing AOS's 5x5 DrMOS for two reasons: 1) To strengthen its bargaining power against MPS to lower costs, and 2) AOS has more excellent expertise in the design and production of 5x5 DrMOS. 2. The chip itself may not solely cause the thermal issue but could also result from insufficient optimization in other designs, such as system thermal management. 3. If the issue remains unresolved, Nvidia may take proactive measures to avoid delays in GB300/B300 mass production. These could include 1) Engaging alternative 5x5 DrMOS suppliers, such as requesting test samples from MPS, and 2) Accelerating testing of MPS's 5x6 DrMOS. Such actions could dampen the market's highly optimistic outlook on AOS's future orders in the short term. 4. 5x6 DrMOS comes with higher costs but offers better thermal performance. If the thermal issue with 5x5 DrMOS persists, the likelihood of Nvidia switching to 5x6 DrMOS will increase, potentially benefiting MPS, which has a technology advantage in the 5x6 design.
Conclusion: With GB300/B300 still some time away from mass production, This event doesn't mean that AOS can't eventually benefit from GB300/B300. However, to avoid repeating delays seen with GB200/B200, Nvidia's efforts to seek alternative 5x5 DrMOS suppliers or to accelerate testing of MPS's 5x6 DrMOS could impact the market's high expectations for AOS's orders in the near term.
