Ge Vernova shares are trading lower despite RBC Capital maintaining its Outperform rating and raising its price target from $285 to $376 on the stock.

A pseudonymous crypto investor shared their success story of using a dollar-cost averaging strategy to buy $30 of BItcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) a day over seven years and hitting a portfolio size of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/07/39573649/hothead-investor-shares-7-month-update-on-maxing-out-8-credit-cards-to-buy-bitcoin">$1 million in the process.</a>
What Happened: The investor, who began their Bitcoin buying strategy at the age of 22, has diligently purchased $30 worth of Bitcoin every twelve hours for nearly eight years. 
This disciplined approach has resulted in a portfolio valued at over $1 million , a life-changing sum for the investor who came from a family struggling with debt.
&#8220;I sacrificed going out with my friends to allocate to this belief. I stayed home. I didn&#8217;t buy a new car. I didn&#8217;t buy fancy things. I kept it minimal,&#8221; &#8216;Rego&#8217; shared in a <a href="https://x.com/regothetrader/status/1855234677491073122">post</a> on X, highlighting the personal sacrifices made to maintain the investment strategy.
The investor&#8217;s strategy went against conventional wisdom: &#8220;Throughout this entire time, I was told my buys were inefficient, my strategy was not effective, and that I would eventually sell at a loss.&#8221; 
However, their conviction in Bitcoin&#8217;s potential proved stronger than the doubts of others.

Why It Matters: Rego's success story demonstrates the power of consistent investing and conviction. &#8220;Bitcoin is not a risk; it's a matter of understanding. The more you learn, the more obvious its potential becomes,&#8221; Rego said.
Over the past seven years, Bitcoin has achieved an impressive 8,048% gain, with 155% of this growth occurring in the last year alone.

Take-Two Interactive's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TTWO#NYSE">TTWO</a>) short percent of float has risen 4.49% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 7.24 million shares sold short, which is 4.65% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 5.71 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>Comparing Take-Two Interactive'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>, Take-Two Interactive's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 2.94%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.

Nano Nuclear Energy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NNE#NASDAQ">NNE</a>) shares are trading lower on Monday after the company announced a $60 million private placement with three<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/11/g42163610/nano-nuclear-energy-announces-60-million-private-placement-with-three-accredited-institutional-inv" rel="noreferrer noopener"> accredited institutional investors</a>.

Nano Nuclear Stock Plunges After $60 Million Private Placement Offering: Details

TotalEnergies SE (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TTE#NYSE">TTE</a>) shares are trading lower on Monday. The company stated that it has learned of U.S. authorities indicting certain executives of Adani Group&#8216;s Indian renewable energy segment. 
The indictment does not target Adani Green Energy Ltd. (AGEL) or its related entities. TotalEnergies is not implicated in the allegations, either. 
TotalEnergies owns a 19.75% stake in AGEL and is a 50% joint-venture partner in AGEL projects established between 2020 and 2024.
Pending clarification of the accusations and their implications, TotalEnergies will halt new financial contributions to Adani group investments.
TotalEnergies states its investments in AGEL, made in compliance with laws and due diligence processes, were based on representations from the sellers, with no prior knowledge of any investigations.
Apart from this, TotalEnergies is partnering with Air Liquide to produce renewable hydrogen at its La Mède biorefinery in southeast France, supporting its <a target="_blank" href="https://totalenergies.com/news/press-releases/hydrogen-totalenergies-accelerates-decarbonization-its-platform-la-mede" rel="noreferrer noopener">2030 </a>goal to decarbonize hydrogen use in European refineries.
This initiative complements the Masshylia green hydrogen project, developed with ENGIE. Together, these projects aim to cut La Mède&#8217;s annual CO2 emissions by 130,000 tons.
Apart from this, TotalEnergies and ENGIE are advancing the Masshylia project to <a target="_blank" href="https://totalenergies.com/news/press-releases/hydrogen-totalenergies-accelerates-decarbonization-its-platform-la-mede" rel="noreferrer noopener">produce </a>10,000 tons of green hydrogen annually through water electrolysis.
This will help decarbonize the La Mède biorefinery and serve local customers in the Fos-Berre industrial-port zone. The first 20 MW electrolyzer is targeted for startup in 2029, pending European and French subsidies and public authorizations.
Last week, the company inked a Cooperation Agreement with Oil India Limited (OIL) to use TotalEnergies' AUSEA technology for methane emissions detection and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/contracts/24/11/42068616/totalenergies-expands-decarbonization-efforts-through-partnership-with-oil-india-limited" rel="noreferrer noopener">measurement at OIL sites in India</a>.

Jones Lang LaSalle shares are trading higher after Wolfe Research upgraded the stock from Peer Perform to Outperform and announced a $353 price target.

When Andy Williams released the song "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year" on his first 1963 Christmas album, the S&amp;P 500 was singing a bullish tune of its own. The index had just hit a record high of 74 points, shaking off the scars of<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets"> the 1962 bear market. </a>
Fast-forward 61 years, and history looks ready to rhyme: the U.S. stock market is again trading at all-time highs as the holiday season ushers in what has historically been a joyful period for investors.
If history is any guide, the next five weeks could be a strong, if not the best, time of the year for U.S. equities.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">December: A Tradition Of Holiday Cheer On Wall Street</h1>
Since 1928, the S&amp;P 500 index — as tracked by the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) — has averaged a 1.25% gain during the month, making it the second-best performer of the year, behind only July.
But here's the kicker: when you include the final week of November, the stock market truly enters its most wonderful time of the year for investors. 
&#8220;I think that U.S. equities will rally starting next week into the end of the year, with the S&amp;P 500 hitting 6,200,&#8221; Goldman Sachs analyst Scott Rubner said last Friday. 
&#8220;We are entering the best seasonal period of the year for U.S. equities,&#8221; he added. 
Both the S&amp;P 500 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average surged to record highs on Monday, driven by investor optimism following reports of a cease-fire agreement between Israel and Lebanon that eased geopolitical concerns<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42166676/israel-reaches-groundbreaking-ceasefire-deal-with-lebanon-gold-oil-tumble-sp-500-dow-jointly-hit-record-highs"> in the Middle East.</a>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">The Thanksgiving Week&#8217;s Effect</h3>
Thanksgiving week itself has a solid track record of lifting the S&amp;P 500. 
According to Stephen Suttmeier, a Bank of America analyst and market technician, the index has risen 60% of the time during Thanksgiving week since 1928, delivering an average return of 0.28%, or 0.46% median.
In a note shared to clients on Monday, Suttmeier highlighted that in the period from Thanksgiving through the end of the year, the S&amp;P 500 has climbed 71% of the time, with an average return of 1.46%, or 1.70% median.
&#8220;Thanksgiving into year-end SPX seasonality is strong for all years and in Presidential election years,&#8221; Suttmeier wrote.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Election Years Also Show Solid Year-End S&amp;P 500 Returns</h1>
Since 1928, the S&amp;P 500 has posted gains in 75% of election-year Thanksgiving weeks, with an average return of 0.88% or 1.08% median. 
The post-Thanksgiving to year-end period has also delivered the goods, with the index rising 75% of the time, delivering an average return of 1.38%, or 1.6% median.
As investors dig into their turkey this Thanksgiving, they might also consider digging into some U.S. equities. 
After all, history suggests that the combination of optimism, holiday spending and year-end portfolio adjustments could be the season of giving — at least on Wall Street.

'It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year' For The Stock Market, History Says

Rigetti Computing, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RGTI#NASDAQ">RGTI</a>) shares are moving higher after the company completed a $100 million at-the-market <a href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/42162628">equity offering</a>.
The Details: The funds generated from this offering will be used for working capital, capital expenditures and general corporate purposes. This includes focusing on strengthening its leadership in superconducting quantum computing, improving the fidelity of its quantum operations and developing systems with higher qubit counts for enhanced computational power.
&#8220;We are pleased to see the enthusiasm for the quantum computing sector and our company. We are seeing a great deal of interest from national labs and academic institutions for on-premises quantum computers to pursue hands-on R&amp;D. As the technology continues to improve and more quantum applications are developed we expect to see increasingly more interest from industry and the private sector,&#8221; says Dr. Subodh Kulkarni, Rigetti CEO.
How To Buy Rigetti Shares
By now you're likely curious about how to participate in the market for Rigetti Computing &#8211; be it to purchase shares, or even attempt to bet against the company.
Buying shares is typically done through a brokerage account. You can find a list of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-stock-trading-platforms">possible trading platforms here.</a> Many will allow you to buy ‘fractional shares,' which allows you to own portions of stock without buying an entire share. For example, some stock, like Berkshire Hathaway, can cost thousands of dollars to own just one share. However, if you only want to invest a fraction of that, brokerages will allow you to do so.
If you're looking to bet against a company, the process is more complex. You'll need access to an options trading platform, or a broker who will allow you to ‘go short' a share of stock by lending you the shares to sell. The process of shorting a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock">stock can be found at this resource.</a> Otherwise, if your broker allows you to trade options, you can either buy a put option, or sell a call option at a strike price above where shares are currently trading &#8211; either way it allows you to profit off of the share price decline.

Matt Gaetz is now selling personalized videos for followers and fans after stepping down from Congress and withdrawing his name from consideration as the country's<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42119848/matt-gaetz-withdraws-name-from-ag-nomination-calls-sex-trafficking-controversy-a-distraction"> next Attorney General.</a>
What Happened: As a member of Congress, Matt Gaetz had an annual salary of $174,000. The Florida Republican was in line for a pay raise as Donald Trump's first pick to be<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/24/11/41956594/matt-gaetz-is-trumps-attorney-general-pick-would-be-top-cop-is-under-house-ethics-investigation"> the next attorney general</a>, a position that pays $221,400 annually, but he withdrew his name due to concerns he would not win a congressional vote.
As Gaetz contemplates <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/24/11/42078192/trumps-attorney-general-pick-matt-gaetz-resigned-from-congress-ethics-committee-to-decide-if-report-will-be-released">his next move</a>, which could include running for Governor of Florida, he is now collecting hundreds of dollars from fans and followers by making personalized videos on the Cameo <a href="https://www.cameo.com/mattgaetz?utm_source=talent_copy_url&amp;utm_medium=talent_unknown&amp;utm_content=talent_settings_share_link&amp;utm_campaign=profile_share&amp;%24web_only=true&amp;_branch_match_id=1055826855495802779&amp;_branch_referrer=H4sIAAAAAAAAA8soKSkottLXL9NLTsxNzddLzs%2FVT9XPcPd2LvZPjfLyT7KvK0pNSy0qysxLj08qyi8vTi2ydc4oys9NBQAbUYqDOwAAAA%3D%3D">platform</a>.
Following <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/23/12/36083226/george-santos-got-a-new-job-and-you-can-buy-his-video-for-a-price">a move made famous</a> by former Congressman George Santos, Gaetz has made his services available on Cameo where he offers personalized video messages for birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, pep talks, roasts and as gifts to others.
"You'll have the chance to customize your request for Matt Gaetz, like asking them to mention inside jokes, share words of wisdom, or work in their signature catchphrases. Don't be afraid to get creative with your request, especially for celebrations like weddings, retirements, or bachelor and bachelorette parties that call for a good laugh," the description on Cameo reads.
Gaetz is currently charging $500 for the Cameos with an average length of 1 minute and 27 seconds per video. Gaetz has a 5-star rating from 12 reviews, and videos are delivered within 24 hours of payment.
For comparison, Santos initially priced his Cameos at $75, later increasing the fee to $200 before ultimately raising it to $500.

</ul>
Why It's Important: Many close to President-elect Trump had high hopes for Gaetz potentially serving as attorney general.
Tesla CEO and co-lead of the newly announced Department of Government Efficiency Elon Musk had high praise for the former Congressman.
"Matt Gaetz has three critical assets that are needed for the AG role: a big brain, a spine of steel and an axe to grind. He is the Judge Dredd America needs to clean up a corrupt system and put powerful bad actors in prison. Gaetz will be our Hammer of Justice," Musk previously <a href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1858766986508927479">tweeted</a>.
Some on social media were quick to call out Musk being wrong on Gaetz as he is now unemployed and not the hammer of justice Trump and the Tesla CEO may have hoped for.
Several videos shared publicly by Cameo users feature Gaetz discussing his past consideration as an attorney general hopeful.
"And so I can't – like – order Predator strikes on my enemies, as much as I would like to. For now. But I can order you to have as much fun as possible," Gaetz said in one video, later clarifying that an attorney general can't order strikes on their enemies, as <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/11/24/us-news/matt-gaetz-takes-page-from-george-santos-fires-up-cameo-and-heres-what-hes-charging/">reported </a>by the New York Post.
Another Cameo video sees Gaetz telling a fan "I know you were bummed out when the news broke that I wouldn't be the next Attorney General."
While Republicans won a majority in Congress in the 2024 election, several GOP members appeared hesitant to support Gaetz for the position of attorney general.
Gaetz previously faced a Justice Department inquiry about alleged sex trafficking, drug activities and sex with minors. The House Ethics Committee was investigating Gaetz over similar activities, but after the Congressman resigned they no longer had any power over him.
Cameo videos could serve as a short-term stopgap for Gaetz as he contemplates his next move. They could also serve as an income source for the newly unemployed politician. Santos <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/23/12/36227088/george-santos-makes-more-money-with-cameo-than-congressional-salary-demands-20k-from-jimmy-kimme">previously said </a>he made more in his first seven days doing Cameo videos than his annual $174,000 Congressional salary.
"I'm still going to be in the fight, but it's going to be from a new perch," Gaetz recently said, stating he would not return to Congress after withdrawing his name for attorney general.
