Apple Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) faces challenges in Indonesia as the government deems the tech giant&#8217;s proposed $100 million investment insufficient to lift a ban on selling <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/iphone">its latest iPhone model.</a> The restriction is tied to regulations mandating that smartphones sold domestically must contain at least 40% locally sourced components.
Indonesia&#8217;s Industry Minister, Agus Gumiwang Kartasasmita, stated that Apple&#8217;s proposal needs to align with fairness principles, particularly when compared to the company&#8217;s more significant investments in Vietnam and Thailand, the Bangkok Post <a href="https://www.bangkokpost.com/business/investment/2908486/indonesia-says-apples-100m-investment-proposal-inadequate" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>.

Google Pixel phones, manufactured by Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>), are also barred from sales in Indonesia due to similar non-compliance with local component requirements.
Companies typically partner with local suppliers or source parts domestically to meet these rules. Apple, however, still needs manufacturing facilities in Indonesia. Since 2018, it has relied on application-developer academies to partially fulfill local content mandates for older iPhone models.
Minister Agus disclosed that Apple still has an outstanding $100 million investment commitment that was originally set to be fulfilled by 2023. The Indonesian government is pushing for additional investments to extend through 2026. The ministry plans to invite Apple representatives to Indonesia for negotiations to discuss the situation further.
Agus emphasized that Apple must align its investments with the country&#8217;s expectations, noting that similar efforts in neighboring countries make Indonesia&#8217;s demands reasonable.
The push to increase local content in electronics aligns with Indonesia&#8217;s broader strategy to bolster its domestic manufacturing ecosystem and attract equitable foreign investment.
Initially, Apple <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42071334/apples-100-million-gamble-tech-giant-moves-to-lift-indonesias-iphone-ban" rel="noreferrer noopener">proposed a $10 million</a> investment to address the shortfall, but Indonesia&#8217;s Ministry of Industry rejected the offer, maintaining the sales ban.
Apple&#8217;s earlier $10 million plan targeted accessory and component manufacturing but failed to satisfy Indonesia&#8217;s regulatory standards.
While Apple has invested $95 million in Indonesia via developer academies, it still falls $5 million short of the 1.7 trillion rupiah ($109.6 million) target.
In October, Morgan Stanley analyst Erik Woodring rated Apple as Overweight with a $273 price target, citing steady <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41350919/apple-analyst-predicts-a-september-quarter-revenue-beat-allays-fears-over-shorter-i" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">iPhone 16 lead times</a>.
Woodring noted that iPhone 16 Pro/Pro Max lead times extended globally, reflecting better supply stability than previous cycles.
Apple&#8217;s proactive supply-chain measures helped avoid shortages, balancing iPhone Pro/Pro Max demand and supply earlier than before.
Morgan Stanley forecasts 225 million iPhone shipments in 2024, with a potential 3% revenue upside from more robust September-quarter sales.
Price Action: AAPL stock is up 0.14% at $230.19 at the last check on Monday.

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.

<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.

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 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.
