To gain an edge, this is what you need to know today.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Stay Ahead Of The Curve</h4>
An enlarged chart of NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>).
Note the following:
<ul>
<li>This article is about the big picture, not an individual stock.&nbsp; The chart of NVDA stock is being used to illustrate the point. As full disclosure, NVDA is in The Arora Report&#8217;s ZYX Buy Model Portfolio.</li>
<li>The chart shows NVDA stock is above the micro support zone.&nbsp; Previously, this was a resistance zone.</li>
<li>The chart shows that the move up has not been on heavy volume. This indicates a lack of conviction.</li>
<li>Nvidia's CEO Jensen Huang gave the keynote address at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) yesterday evening.</li>
<li>The momo crowd ran up NVDA stock ahead of, during, and after Huang's presentation, pushing NVDA stock to a new all time high.</li>
<li>Here are the key points from Huang's presentation:
<ul>
<li>The ChatGPT moment for robotics is around the corner.</li>
<li>Nvidia plans to release a personal AI supercomputer for AI data scientists and researchers, so they do not need to connect to AI data centers.&nbsp; The personal AI supercomputer is called Project DIGITS and will have a Blackwell AI chip.</li>
<li>New Nvidia graphics chips for gamers will be available later this month.&nbsp; The chips leverage AI to enhance resolution and frame rates.</li>
<li>Nvidia will offer AI blueprints, making it easier to use AI agents for a variety of tasks such as generating blog posts and analyzing video.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>A fortune is to be made in AI all the way to 2030.&nbsp; It is not going to be in a straight line.&nbsp; At times it will be treacherous.&nbsp; It is important to build your investing knowledge in AI.&nbsp; The problem you face is that much of the information available about investing in AI is not objective and not in your best interest.</li>
<li>Total insanity is prevailing in robotics stocks.&nbsp; Robotics stock valuations have become totally divorced from reality.&nbsp; The momo crowd is in fantasy land and aggressively buying robotics stocks.&nbsp; Here are the top stocks in the Arora robotics basket: Symbotic Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SYM#NASDAQ">SYM</a>), Serve Robotics Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SERV#NASDAQ">SERV</a>), iRobot Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IRBT#NASDAQ">IRBT</a>), Myomo Inc (NYSEAMERICAN: MYO), Aurora Innovation Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AUR#NASDAQ">AUR</a>), Ouster Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OUST#NASDAQ">OUST</a>), Microbot Medical Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MBOT#NASDAQ">MBOT</a>), Richtech Robotics Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RR#NASDAQ">RR</a>), Nauticus Robotics Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KITT#NASDAQ">KITT</a>), Arbe Robotics Ltd (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARBE#NASDAQ">ARBE</a>), Kraken Robotics Inc (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KRKNF#OTC">KRKNF</a>), Simpple Ltd (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPPL#NASDAQ">SPPL</a>), Lifeward Ltd (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LFWD#NASDAQ">LFWD</a>), Accuray Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARAY#NASDAQ">ARAY</a>), and Guardforce AI Co Ltd (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GFAI#NASDAQ">GFAI</a>).&nbsp; As full disclosure, there was a new signal on SYM given in The Arora Report&#8217;s ZYX Buy.</li>

<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Momo Crowd And Smart Money In Stocks</h4>
Investors can gain an edge by knowing money flows in SPY and QQQ.  Investors can get a bigger edge by knowing when smart money is buying stocks, gold, and oil.  The most popular ETF for gold is SPDR Gold Trust.  The most popular ETF for silver is iShares Silver Trust .  The most popular ETF for oil is United States Oil ETF.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Bitcoin</h4>
Bitcoin is range bound.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Protection Band And What To Do Now</h4>
It is important for investors to look ahead and not in the rearview mirror.&nbsp; The proprietary protection band from The Arora Report is very popular.&nbsp; The protection band puts all of the data, all of the indicators, all of the news, all of the crosscurrents, all of the models, and all of the analysis in an analytical framework that is easily actionable by investors.
Consider continuing to hold good, very long term, existing positions. Based on individual risk preference, consider a protection band consisting of cash or Treasury bills or short-term tactical trades as well as short to medium term hedges and short term hedges. This is a good way to protect yourself and participate in the upside at the same time.
You can determine your protection bands by adding cash to hedges.&nbsp; The high band of the protection is appropriate for those who are older or conservative. The low band of the protection is appropriate for those who are younger or aggressive.&nbsp; If you do not hedge, the total cash level should be more than stated above but significantly less than cash plus hedges.
A protection band of 0% would be very bullish and would indicate full investment with 0% in cash.&nbsp; A protection band of 100% would be very bearish and would indicate a need for aggressive protection with cash and hedges or aggressive short selling.
It is worth reminding that you cannot take advantage of new upcoming opportunities if you are not holding enough cash.&nbsp; When adjusting hedge levels, consider adjusting partial stop quantities for stock positions (non ETF); consider using wider stops on remaining quantities and also allowing more room for high beta stocks.&nbsp; High beta stocks are the ones that move more than the market.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Traditional 60/40 Portfolio</h4>
Probability based risk reward adjusted for inflation does not favor long duration strategic bond allocation at this time.
Those who want to stick to traditional 60% allocation to stocks and 40% to bonds may consider focusing on only high quality bonds and bonds of five year duration or less.&nbsp; Those willing to bring sophistication to their investing may consider using bond ETFs as tactical positions and not strategic positions at this time.
The Arora Report is known for its accurate calls. The Arora Report correctly called the big artificial intelligence rally before anyone else, the new bull market of 2023, the bear market of 2022, new stock market highs right after the virus low in 2020, the virus drop in 2020, the DJIA rally to 30,000 when it was trading at 16,000, the start of a mega bull market in 2009, and the financial crash of 2008.

Two bodies were discovered inside the wheel well of a JetBlue Airways Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JBLU#NASDAQ">JBLU</a>) plane after landing in Florida on Monday night. Here&#8217;s what <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/travel/25/01/42791291/jetblue-fined-2-million-for-chronic-flight-delays-delta-united-rank-among-most-on-time-airlines">you need to know</a>.
What To Know: Two people were found dead in a JetBlue plane during a post-flight maintenance inspection following a flight from New York to Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, according to <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2025/01/07/us/bodies-found-in-jetblue-flight-compartment/index.html">CNN</a>.
The identities of the individuals found in the wheel well of the plane remain unknown, the airline said in statement, adding that the &#8220;circumstances surrounding how they accessed the aircraft remain under investigation.&#8221;
A gate technician reportedly noticed two people who appeared to be deceased before calling local law enforcement.
&#8220;On scene, paramedics pronounced both individuals deceased,&#8221; said Carey Codd, spokesperson for the Broward County Sheriff's Office.
"The Broward County Medical Examiner's Office will perform autopsies to determine the causes of death of both individuals.&#8221;
The report indicates that a law enforcement official said the bodies were &#8220;badly decomposed.&#8221; Officials have launched an investigation at the airport, but so far, operations have not been impacted. 
&#8220;This is a heartbreaking situation, and we are committed to working closely with authorities to support their efforts to understand how this occurred,&#8221; JetBlue said in a statement.
Check This Out: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/travel/25/01/42791291/jetblue-fined-2-million-for-chronic-flight-delays-delta-united-rank-among-most-on-time-airlines">JetBlue Fined $2 Million For &#8216;Chronic Flight Delays&#8217;: Delta, United Rank Among Most On-Time Airlines</a>
The news comes about two weeks after a body was found in the wheel well of a Boeing plane operated by United Airlines Holdings following a flight to Chicago. The JetBlue plane was reportedly an Airbus A320 jet.
&#8220;This keeps happening. People are getting onto the airport property and getting into an aircraft, and it poses a huge security danger for the aircraft," former Department of Transportation Inspector General Mary Schiavo reportedly told CNN.
&#8220;These people were apparently just trying to get some place, but it could have easily been someone attempting to attack aviation.&#8221;
The incidents have raised concerns over airline security. The report indicates that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has said the wheel wells of planes are often used by stowaways who don&#8217;t realize the little amount of space available in the landing gear departments after wheels are pulled back into the plane. If they aren&#8217;t crushed by the landing gear, the report suggests they often lose consciousness due to lack of oxygen and freezing temperatures at altitude. 
According to CNN, citing a 2011 report from the FAA, approximately 80% of people who try to board a plane via an external department end up deceased.

2 People Found Dead In Landing Gear Well Of JetBlue Airways Plane Following Flight To Florida: 'This Keeps Happening'

Life can sometimes throw the most surprises your way. For Corie, a 32-year-old single mom from Little Rock, Arkansas, that surprise was a $1.25 million gift from her late boss. Not knowing what to do with such a large amount, she <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36Ew2LiXvP0">called</a> The Ramsey Show for help.
Corie worked as her boss's assistant for eight years. She helped with his schedules, tracked his finances and even managed his properties. They had a close working relationship and he treated her and her kids like family. She described him as an amazing person who treated her and her children like family.

</ul>
When he passed away unexpectedly, Corie learned that he had left her a substantial amount of money in his will – a staggering $1.25 million. Though she was deeply touched, Corie admitted she was overwhelmed. With four children aged 15, four, three and 11 months, no job and no experience managing such a large sum of money, she turned to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/12/42746966/debt-and-broke-are-the-norm-says-dave-ramsey-explains-why-normal-isnt-working-for-most-americans-and-how-to-take-control-of-your-money">Dave Ramsey</a> for guidance.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Move Slowly</h2>
Dave's first piece of advice to Corie was to slow down. "If you feel urgency or someone pushing you, stop," he emphasized. He explained that rushing could result in costly mistakes, especially when managing an amount this significant for the first time.
Ramsey told her that her new job is to manage this money: "It&#8217;s not a woohoo I hit the lottery moment.&#8221;

Dave advised Corie to form her team of advisors to help her navigate this new financial responsibility. He outlined four key professionals she would need:
<ol>
<li><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-online-financial-advisors">Investment advisor</a> to help her invest the money wisely and create a steady income stream.</li>
<li><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/content/40669337/tax-accountant-a-reliable-partner-for-comprehensive-tax-and-business-advisory-services">Tax advisor</a> to ensure she handles taxes correctly and avoids unnecessary penalties.</li>
<li>Real estate agent. Since Corie is renting, Dave recommended buying an affordable home (under $200,000) with cash to eliminate housing costs.</li>
<li>Insurance agent to ensure she has proper health insurance coverage for herself and her children.</li>
</ol>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Don't Touch the Principal</h2>
Dave stressed the importance of not spending the $1.25 million directly. Instead, he suggested investing the money and living off the returns. By doing this, Corie could generate a reliable income while preserving the inheritance for the long term.

Dave's advice is rooted in the idea that she can turn this unexpected blessing into lifelong financial security with the right guidance and patience.
With $1.25 million in her corner and a solid plan, she's well on her way to creating a better life for herself and her kids.

Single Mom Of Four Receives $1,250,000 From Late Boss–Dave Ramsey Advises, 'Your New Job Is To Manage The Money'

Rapper Drake bought a $15 million Dos Brisas ranch near Brenham, Texas. According to Celebrity Net Worth, the veteran MC, who is worth $250 million, had long been rumored to be the unnamed party interested in the estate. The purchase was confirmed by roundtop.com.
The sprawling 313-acre ranch is located 45 minutes outside Houston in Washington County. The home was previously owned by Jennifer and Doug Bosch and used as a retreat known as The Inn at Dos Brisas in Chappell Hill. The Relais &amp; Châteaux restaurant, located within the estate, was once the only Forbes five-star rated eatery in all of Texas.

YOLO Estate
Drake&#8217;s acquisition marks the latest addition to a glittering, high-priced real estate portfolio, which the rapper has modified over the years. In 2012, he purchased a Hidden Hills, California, home for $7.7 million in cash. Known euphemistically as the YOLO Estate (You Only Live Once), it contains a 12,000-square-foot main house and a 2,000-square-foot party house, as well as equestrian facilities, sports courts and one of the largest privately owned pools in Southern California with a Playboy Mansion-type grotto.
Originally listed for $27 million in 2009, when the owner ran into financial problems, Drake bought it three years later at a $20 million discount. Drake added two neighboring estates for $2.8 and $4.5 million, respectively and sold them in 2022 for $11 million to NFL star Matthew Stafford. In July 2022, Drake sold the third parcel for $12 million, according to multiple sources, including Mansion Global.

Toronto Mansion
In 2016, Drake purchased a plot of land in suburban Toronto for $6.7 million, on which he built a 50,000-square-foot mansion featured in Architectural Digest. He also owns a condo in Downtown Toronto.
$90 Million Beverly Hills Mansion
Despite this, Drake&#8217;s most prominent real estate extravagance was the March 8, 2022, purchase of a $90 million Beverly Hills mansion sitting on a 20-acre estate from British singer Robbie Williams, apparently bought at a discount of $75 million in an off-market deal. However, the deal – bought under a corporate entity, 11Kip LLC, with a $52.5 million mortgage with Bank of America with Drake putting down 30% or $22.5 million – was a flip. According to the LA Times, he listed the home in May 2023 and again a year later for $88 million. No word yet on whether the house has sold.

Buying and selling luxury homes will only ever be a side hustle for the multiplatinum rapper who makes $1 million for every concert performance. Celebrity Net Worth states that the artist has sold over 163 million digital singles – more than any other artist. He has sold 26 million albums and earned over $500 million in gross revenue throughout his career.

The Independent reported that a &#8220;petition in a New York court … by the rapper&#8217;s company Frozen Moments LLC demands the preservation and divulgence of information that might be evidence in a potential lawsuit against the streaming giant Spotify and UMG, which is the distributor for the record labels of both Drake and Lamar.&#8221;
In response, UMG called the allegations &#8220;offensive and untrue.&#8221; Perhaps a 300-acre-plus Texan estate is just the tonic Drake needs to allow him to refocus on his music and career.

Entergy's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ETR#NYSE">ETR</a>) short percent of float has fallen 23.7% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 4.97 million shares sold short, which is 1.32% 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.

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>, Entergy's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 2.16%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
