<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/2024-election">Election Day has arrived</a>, and we could all probably use a deep breath. Take a moment if you need it.
Now, onto the cannabis front where voters in Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota and Florida <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/10/41387752/winding-road-to-cannabis-legalization-ahead-for-4-states-set-to-vote-in-2024-what-do-the-polls-s">will decide on ballot initiatives</a> to legalize marijuana for recreational or medical use. If approved, these states will join the 38 others that have embraced some form of cannabis legalization and join the rapidly changing landscape of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/cannabis-reform">marijuana policy</a> in the U.S.
Here's what&#8217;s changed in the landscape…some might even say drastically.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">One Of Our Favorites: Adult Weed Consumption Rises As Teen Use Falls</h3>
Concerns over a spike in youth cannabis consumption following early legalization efforts, beginning with Colorado and Washington in 2012, have proven unfounded. Contrary to fears, marijuana use among teens has declined, or maybe never really took off.
From 2011 to 2021, the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/cannabis-reform">percentage of adolescents reporting marijuana use</a> dropped from 23% to under 16%.
"The ‘sky's going to fall' scenario was that all of the kids were just going to have access to all of the cannabis and it was going to be a terrible, terrible thing," said Ryan Vandrey, professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Johns Hopkins Medicine who studies cannabis.
"It just goes to show that teenagers will do exactly the opposite of what you think they're going to do at all times," Vandrey <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/11/04/well/weed-cannabis-america.html">told</a> The New York Times, confirming what every parent who has or is raising a teenager already knows.
Adult cannabis consumption, meanwhile, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/08/40652731/cannabis-and-hallucinogen-consumption-hit-all-time-highs-in-2023-while-tobacco-and-alcohol-decli">has reached historic highs</a>, with 42% of individuals aged 19-30 and 29% of those aged 35-50 reporting use in the past year.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Cannabis Use Surpasses Alcohol</h3>
Yeah, you read that right. Recent studies have show that more Americans are now consuming <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/05/38976556/daily-cannabis-consumption-outpaces-daily-alcohol-use-in-the-us-for-the-first-time-new-study-sho">weed daily rather than alcohol</a>. Nearly 18 million people report daily or near-daily marijuana use, outpacing the 15 million who drink with similar frequency. 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Seniors Jump On The Weed Wagon Because…Why Not?</h3>
The country&#8217;s 73 million baby boomers are among the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/23/08/33583433/baby-boomers-turning-to-weed-en-masse-say-it-improves-memory-and-mood-doctors-agree-cnn-series-e" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">fastest-growing demographic</a><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/01/36458087/senior-cannabis-consumers-balancing-act-relief-for-numerous-conditions-comes-with-warnings-but-w" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">&nbsp;</a>of&nbsp;cannabis users in the U.S. and around the world. In the past 8 years, senior cannabis consumption has tripled. Seniors also happen to&nbsp;possess&nbsp;half of the nation's&nbsp;$140 trillion&nbsp;in wealth, so they&#8217;re helping the economy even after they&#8217;ve retired.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Closing That Gender Gap </h3>
Cannabis use has long been more prevalent among men than women, but that disparity is shrinking. In 2023, young women (ages 19-30) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/08/40652731/cannabis-and-hallucinogen-consumption-hit-all-time-highs-in-2023-while-tobacco-and-alcohol-decli">reported higher rates of cannabis use</a> than their male counterparts. Teenage girls also now report higher marijuana use than boys, marking a shift in gender patterns of cannabis consumption.

On CNBC's &#8220;Mad Money Lightning Round,&#8221; Jim Cramer said Ceva (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CEVA#NYSE">CEVA</a>) is &#8220;way too high, and I think you <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/CEVA">should take something off the table.&#8221;</a>
Ceva will announce results for the third quarter on Nov. 7, 2024, before the opening bell.
&#8220;I love space stuff, and that's why I keep recommending Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>),&#8221; Cramer said when asked about Intuitive Machines, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LUNR#NASDAQ">LUNR</a>). If there's going to be something in space, it is going to be done by Elon Musk."
Intuitive Machines will release its financial results for the third quarter on Thursday, Nov. 14, before the market opens.
When asked about Ford Motor Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>), &#8220;I want so badly for the company to do well, but I can't recommend the stock.&#8221;
The company is reportedly set to pause production of its F-150 Lightning from mid-November until the year&#8217;s end, citing weaker-than-anticipated demand for the electric pickup, Automotive News reported.
&#8220;They are in the oil service business, and oil is not a growth commodity. So, I'm going to say you can't own the stock here, as much as I really like them,&#8221; the &#8220;Mad Money&#8221; host said when asked about SLB (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SLB#NYSE">SLB</a>).
The company, last week, disclosed that its OneSubsea joint venture won a contract from BP p.l.c. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BP#NYSE">BP</a>) for a subsea boosting system as part of the greenfield development of the Kaskida project in the deepwater U.S.
Cramer recommended taking something off the table, when asked about Vistra Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VST#NYSE">VST</a>).
Vistra will replace The AES Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AES#NYSE">AES</a>) in the Dow Jones Utility Average, effective prior to the open of trading on Friday, Nov. 8.

Pfizer's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PFE#NYSE">PFE</a>) short percent of float has risen 5.04% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 70.94 million shares sold short, which is 1.25% of all regular shares that are available for trading.

<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 Pfizer 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 Pfizer'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>, Pfizer's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 4.87%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze/">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>
