<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 Paycom Software'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>, Paycom Software's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 6.34%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

'Microsofts AI Researcher Sebastien Bubeck To Join OpenAI' - The Information

Fast Buds, a global producer of auto-flowering cannabis genetics, has unveiled two exclusive cultivars to mark the 2024 U.S. Presidential election. The limited-edition strains, Orange President and Kamala OG, each symbolize the contrasting political figures they are named after: former President Donald Trump and sitting Vice President Kamala Harris.
"At Fast Buds, we believe that cannabis culture thrives on creativity and conversation," says Eugene Boukreev, head of marketing at Fast Buds. "The launch of Orange President and Kamala OG is our playful way of celebrating not just the political landscape, but also the diversity and unique characteristics that reflect different perspectives."
The company views these strains as more than just a novelty. It aims to spark discussions about cannabis legalization and the political climate, while offering unique experiences to cannabis enthusiasts.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">A Closer Look: Orange President Auto</h3>
With a head-turning appearance and effects to match, Orange President boasts a Sativa-dominant profile. Featuring vibrant orange-haired trichomes, the plant delivers potent citrus terpenes that invigorate the senses. Testing at 26% THC, the strain promises a blend of sweet, zesty citrus flavors, with uplifting effects that appeal to recreational users seeking a bright, energized high.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Kamala OG Auto: A Sativa For Productivity</h3>
On the other side of the political spectrum, Kamala OG is designed to be a fitting tribute to a trailblazing vice president. With a cerebral Sativa-dominant profile, Kamala OG presents a smooth balance of sweet and sour flavors, offering notes of tangy fruit cocktail. It comes in at an average of 24% THC, promising a creative, focused high for those with a busy schedule, much like its namesake.
The team describes the cultivar as a "productive and creative hybrid" that mirrors the qualities of a high-performing individual.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Cannabis And Politics: A Growing Intersection</h3>
In a year where cannabis legalization has taken center stage, these strains arrive at a time of growing bipartisan support for federal legalization. According to a recent Data For Progress <a href="https://www.dataforprogress.org/blog/2024/4/20/high-support-for-legalizing-marijuana-at-the-federal-level">report</a>, 66% of U.S. voters now favor nationwide cannabis legalization, a figure that has doubled in the last two decades. Vice President Harris, in particular, has officially added cannabis legalization to her political agenda, emphasizing the importance of making it "the law of the land."
Boukreev sees the release of these strains as a reflection of the times. "Just as presidential candidates represent different views and visions, these strains offer distinct profiles and effects that allow consumers to choose what resonates with them," he explains. "Cannabis has a long history of sparking debates and bringing people together, and we wanted to blend that spirit with a bit of lighthearted fun around such an important topic."
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Autoflower Innovation</h3>
Both strains utilize autoflowering technology, which allows cultivators to enjoy their harvest in as little as 10 weeks. Autoflower seeds, known for their ease of growth and quick flowering times, have become a favorite among both novice and experienced cannabis growers.
Pre-orders for Orange President and Kamala OG are now open on the Fast Buds website, with the official release date set for November 7, 2024. Fast Buds promises that customers will soon have the opportunity to see these cultivars in action, as community updates featuring photos and videos of the growing plants will be shared in the coming months.

New Kamala OG And Orange President Cannabis Strains Celebrate 2024 Presidential Election

<a href="https://europeancapitalinsights.substack.com/p/starmer-woos-global-investors-at?r=3nmatg">British Prime Minister Keir Starmer unveiled</a> that he wants to <a href="https://www.upi.com/Top_News/World-News/2024/10/14/Starmer-pledges-red-tape-bonfire/8461728902034/">attract billions of pounds of investments</a> during his speech at a UK investment summit on Monday.&nbsp;
The inaugural International Investment Summit in London secured <a href="https://x.com/RachelReevesMP/status/1845867474161397762"> £63 billion in investments and nearly 38,000 in jobs</a>, Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves posted on X.
The one-day summit underscored the efforts that Starmer is undertaking to revive the country's economy. <a href="https://open.substack.com/pub/europeancapitalinsights/p/british-gdp-growth-wont-offset-borrowing?r=3nmatg&amp;utm_campaign=post&amp;utm_medium=web">UK GDP grew at 0.2% in August after flatlining in June and July</a>.
Starmer <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/speeches/pm-international-investment-summit-speech-14-october-2024">told 300 executives</a> that his government would &#8220;rip out the bureaucracy that blocks investment" by slashing red tape.&nbsp;
&#8220;Private sector investment is the way we rebuild our country and pay our way in the world," he said. "Make no mistake, this is a great moment to back Britain."

US firms CyrusOne, ServiceNow, Cloud HQ and CoreWeave announced as part of the summit that <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/news/tech-secretary-welcomes-foreign-investment-in-uk-data-centres-which-will-spur-economic-growth-and-ai-innovation-in-britain">they would invest a total of £6.3 billion </a>in the country&#8217;s data infrastructure. That takes the total investment in UK data centers to over £25 billion since this government took office.
British Technology Secretary Peter Kyle welcomed the ‘vote of confidence' in Britain. 
&#8220;Tech leaders from all over the world are seeing Britain as the best place to invest with a thriving and stable market for data centers and&nbsp;AI&nbsp;development.&#8221;&nbsp;
ServiceNow (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NOW#NYSE">NOW</a>) plans to invest £1.15 billion into its UK business over the next 5 years.
&#8220;AI-powered transformation is a generational opportunity,&#8221; ServiceNow Chairman and&nbsp;CEO&nbsp;Bill McDermott<a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/news/tech-secretary-welcomes-foreign-investment-in-uk-data-centres-which-will-spur-economic-growth-and-ai-innovation-in-britain"> said</a>. &#8220;ServiceNow's investment will accelerate the UK's innovation blueprint.&#8221;
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">UK Summit Secures Investments</h3>
Labour said ahead of the summit that it has secured "<a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/news/major-investment-deals-set-to-be-announced-at-governments-inaugural-international-investment-summit-as-pm-vows-to-remove-needless-regulation-declar">tens of billions worth of investments</a> within 100 days of being in office." That included more than £24 billion worth of investment in clean energy projects.
Spain's Iberdrola (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBDRY#OTC">IBDRY</a>), one of the <a href="https://open.substack.com/pub/europeancapitalinsights/p/european-energy-under-threat-from?r=lo563&amp;utm_campaign=post&amp;utm_medium=web">biggest energy companies in Europe</a>, doubled its investment in the UK to £24 billion. Denmark's Orsted (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DOGEF#OTC">DOGEF</a>) unlocked £8bn and GreenVolt £2.5bn of investment in offshore wind farms.&nbsp;
But confidence in the economy has been hurt by social tensions around illegal immigration and uncertainty about the upcoming budget. An escalation in <a href="https://open.substack.com/pub/europeancapitalinsights/p/geopolitical-risks-may-be-biggest?r=lo563&amp;utm_campaign=post&amp;utm_medium=web">geopolitical tensions in the Middle East</a> has undermined sentiment.
Starmer's and Reeve's popularity has fallen steeply since they won elections in July. In September, consumer confidence crashed by the most in two-and-a-half years.&nbsp;
The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/uk-ftse-100">FTSE 100</a> traded flat after Starmer's speech. <a href="https://tradingeconomics.com/united-kingdom/calendar">With UK jobs data due</a> out Tuesday and&nbsp; inflation on Wednesday, markets focused on <a href="https://uk.finance.yahoo.com/news/live/ftse-100-live-european-stock-markets-wall-street-082512903.html">key economic data</a>.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">UK Summit Gets Support From Banks</h3>
Ahead of the UK summit, some of the world's biggest banks and companies offered an upbeat message. In a letter to The Times, five of the world's biggest banks joined private ­equity firms, insurers and tech giants to say it was "<a href="https://www.thetimes.com/article/89afda46-2ced-481c-b4a0-0da65d2a6a1e?shareToken=206261895595c2ed7be6fe2d7796544e">time to invest in Britain</a>."
<a href="https://www.thetimes.com/article/89afda46-2ced-481c-b4a0-0da65d2a6a1e?shareToken=206261895595c2ed7be6fe2d7796544e">The 14 signatories</a> include JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, Citigroup and UBS. Insurers Aviva and L&amp;G signed the letter, alongside private equity firms including Blackstone and KKR.
They pointed to stability, universities, legal expertise and financial services already providing the "bedrock of a strong investment proposition." Growth in the technology and energy sectors had "further enhanced Britain's position."
Confirmed speakers included Ruth Porat, President &amp; Chief Investment Officer of Alphabet and David A. Ricks Chair and CEO of Eli Lilly. Alex Kendall, CEO of Wayve, and Pushmeet Kohli Vice President of Research at <a href="https://widgets.benzinga.com/topic/deepmind">Google DeepMind</a>, were confirmed to attend.
Some participants, though, expressed frustration about the <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/10/14/uk-international-investment-summit-labour-woos-new-business-to-britain.html">lack of information surrounding the summit</a>, CNBC reported. Many multinational executives and tech leaders declined to attend or weren't invited. The Financial Times partly attributed the summit&#8217;s turnout to <a href="https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20241014-starmer-vows-to-cut-red-tape-as-he-urges-foreign-investors-to-back-uk">concerns over its &#8220;quality and organization</a>."
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">UK Summit Undermined By Musk Controversy</h3>
Critics have also questioned the Labour Party's decision not to invite billionaire Elon Musk to the UK summit.&nbsp;
"Extraordinary failure by the UK government to exclude @elonmusk&nbsp; from the UK Business Summit," James McMurdock, a Reform UK MP, wrote on X. "His absence is a blow to Britain's future and growth potential. We should be engaging with global innovators, not sidelining them."
Technology Secretary <a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/topic/peter-kyle">Peter Kyle</a> denied Musk had been snubbed. But British Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds failed to provide a clear answer as to why Musk wasn't invited.
"I am not going to comment on the reasons for any specific person," he said during an interview on SkyNews. "If people have an investment proposition for the UK, I will talk to them about it."
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Musk Hits Back After UK Submit Snub</h3>
Musk hit back after not being invited. &#8220;I don't think anyone should go to the UK when they're releasing convicted pedophiles in order to imprison people for social media posts,&#8221; Musk posted on X.
He was apparently referring to the <a href="https://www.msn.com/en-in/news/uknews/britain-hosts-an-international-investment-summit-and-denies-snubbing-elon-musk/ar-AA1seBzA">government's decision to release hundreds of inmates</a> — though not sex offenders — early because of overcrowded prisons, the Independent reported.
Musk has clashed with British officials about their crackdown on free speech.&nbsp;
The tech billionaire posted a comment on X saying that "Civil war is inevitable" in the UK.&nbsp;
Justice Minister Heidi Alexander said that using language such as "civil war" was unacceptable.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Starmer Woos Global Investors At UK Summit

While &quot;the trend is your friend&quot; when it comes to short-term investing or trading, timing entries into the trend is a key determinant of success. And increasing the odds of success by making sure the sustainability of a trend isn&#39;t easy.
The trend often reverses before exiting the trade, leading to a short-term capital loss for investors. So, for a profitable trade, one should confirm factors such as sound fundamentals, positive earnings estimate revisions, etc. that could keep the momentum in the stock alive.
Our &quot;Recent Price Strength&quot; screen, which is created on a unique short-term trading strategy, could be pretty useful in this regard. This predefined screen makes it really easy to shortlist the stocks that have enough fundamental strength to maintain their recent uptrend. Also, the screen passes only the stocks that are trading in the upper portion of their 52-week high-low range, which is usually an indicator of bullishness.
There are several stocks that passed through the screen:
<h2>Brady</h2>
(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/brc#NYSE">BRC</a>) is one of them. Here are the key reasons why this stock is a solid choice for &quot;trend&quot; investing.
A solid price increase over a period of 12 weeks reflects investors&#39; continued willingness to pay more for the potential upside in a stock. BRC is quite a good fit in this regard, gaining 7.5% over this period.
However, it&#39;s not enough to look at the price change for around three months, as it doesn&#39;t reflect any trend reversal that might have happened in a shorter time frame. It&#39;s important for a potential winner to maintain the price trend. A price increase of 0.5% over the past four weeks ensures that the trend is still in place for the stock of this identification and security products maker.
Moreover, BRC is currently trading at 92.2% of its 52-week High-Low Range, hinting that it can be on the verge of a breakout.
Looking at the fundamentals, the stock currently carries a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), which means it is in the top 5% of more than the 4,000 stocks that we rank based on trends in earnings estimate revisions and EPS surprises -- the key factors that impact a stock&#39;s near-term price movements.
The Zacks Rank stock-rating system, which uses four factors related to earnings estimates to classify stocks into five groups, ranging from Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) to Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell), has an impressive externally-audited track record, with Zacks Rank #1 stocks generating an average annual return of +25% since 1988.
Another factor that confirms the company&#39;s fundamental strength is its Average Broker Recommendation of #1 (Strong Buy). This indicates that the brokerage community is highly optimistic about the stock&#39;s near-term price performance.
So, the price trend in BRC may not reverse anytime soon.

Brady Is a Great Choice for 'Trend' Investors, Here's Why

Legendary investor Warren Buffett has built Berkshire Hathaway Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>)(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) into one of the most valuable companies in the world through a series of acquisitions and investments over the years, making the man known as the &#8220;Oracle of Omaha&#8221; one of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/movers-shakers/21/08/17298128/warren-buffett-turns-91-a-highlight-for-each-decade-of-his-life-1">most followed stock pickers.</a>
Buffett&#8217;s investments have paid off, with Berkshire Hathaway recently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/top-stories/24/08/40604676/warren-buffetts-berkshire-hathaway-breaks-1-trillion-poll-points-to-big-pharma-not-tech-as-next-cont">joining the $1 trillion</a> market capitalization club. Investors who bought Berkshire Hathaway shares or followed Buffett's stock picks have done quite well over the years.
One area where following Buffett wouldn&#8217;t have paid off for investors is cryptocurrency.
What Happened: Leading cryptocurrency Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) hit <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/03/37498047/exclusive-bitcoin-hits-new-all-time-high-heres-when-benzinga-readers-think-100k-milestone-">new all-time highs </a>of $73,750.07 in March.
While Bitcoin is down from all-time highs, the leading cryptocurrency is up 42.8% year-to-date in 2024 and up over 130% in the last year, moves celebrated by the crypto community.
One person likely not celebrating the move is Buffett, who is among<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/22/04/26538722/warren-buffett-is-bitcoin-enemy-no-1-a-sociopathic-grandpa-from-omaha-says-peter-thiel" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">&nbsp;the leading vocal critics&nbsp;</a>of the cryptocurrency sector.
Buffett&#8217;s bearish take on Bitcoin led him to previously be labeled as Bitcoin&#8217;s enemy number one by entrepreneur Peter Thiel.
In January 2018, Buffett warned investors about investing in cryptocurrency.
&#8220;In terms of cryptocurrencies, generally, I can say with almost certainty that they come with a bad ending,&#8221; Buffett said at the time. &#8220;If I could buy a five-year put on every one of the cryptocurrencies, I&#8217;d be glad to do it but I would never short a dime&#8217;s worth.&#8221;
A few months later, Buffett took his feelings on Bitcoin further during an interview with&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2018/05/05/warren-buffett-says-bitcoin-is-probably-rat-poison-squared.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">CNBC</a>.
Buffett also reiterated the thoughts of the late Berkshire Vice Chairman&nbsp;Charlie Munger&nbsp;that Bitcoin is &#8220;rat poison.&#8221; He later told CNBC anchor&nbsp;Becky Quick&nbsp;that cryptocurrency is &#8220;probably rat poison squared.&#8221;
The legendary investor has not bought cryptocurrencies directly and continues to speak out against the sector.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/22/05/27208096/warren-buffett-now-owns-bitcoin-heres-how-the-oracle-of-omaha-got-exposure-3" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga previously reported</a>&nbsp;that Buffett and Berkshire are shareholders in&nbsp;Nu Holdings&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NU#NYSE">NU</a>), a crypto-friendly digital bank in Brazil. Nu Holdings has also launched several cryptocurrency products.
Nu Holdings also said previously it would allocate a portion of its cash to Bitcoin.
At the time of writing, Bitcoin has a market capitalization of $1.3 trillion. Berkshire Hathaway is valued at around $992 billion. Bitcoin is currently worth more than Buffett&#8217;s company.
Here&#8217;s a look at how investors in Bitcoin would have done since Buffett&#8217;s comments.
You may not be a billionaire like Warren Buffett, but you can uncover hidden gems in the stock market using our proprietary data and pattern recognition — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/10/41187322/benzingas-stock-whisper-index-5-stocks-investors-secretly-monitor-but-dont-talk-about-yet">check out five stocks flying under the radar that deserve your attention.</a>
Investing $1,000 in Bitcoin:&nbsp;While Buffett said he wouldn&#8217;t invest in Bitcoin and used the &#8220;rat poison squared&#8221; comparison, others may have disagreed and chosen to allocate a portion of their investments or holdings in the leading cryptocurrency.
Bitcoin traded between $9,695.12 and $9,964.50 on May 5, 2018 – the day of Buffett&#8217;s &#8220;rat poison squared&#8221; comment.
An investor could have purchased 0.1004 BTC at the coin&#8217;s high price of that day.
The $1,000 investment would be worth $6,600.38 today, based on a price of $65,740.81 for Bitcoin at the time of writing. This represents a return of 560.0% since Buffett&#8217;s comments.
For comparison, a $1,000 investment in Berkshire Hathaway could have bought 0.0034 BRK-A shares at the same time. The $1,000 investment would be worth $2,348.18 today, up 134.8%.
A $1,000 investment in the&nbsp;SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>), which tracks the S&amp;P 500 Index, could have bought 3.75 shares of the popular ETF at the time of Buffett&#8217;s comments. The $1,000 investment would be worth $2,192.06 today, up 119.2%.
As investors can see, Bitcoin has outperformed both the S&amp;P 500 and Berkshire Hathaway since Buffett&#8217;s now famous quote about the leading cryptocurrency.
Buffett has said he wouldn&#8217;t touch Bitcoin even if it hit $25 per coin. However, those who bought the apex crypto when the legendary investor made his statement would be glad that they did.

&nbsp;
Alphabet's <a href="https://www.reuters.com/markets/companies/GOOGL.O">(GOOGL.O), opens new tab</a> Google said on Monday it signed the world's first corporate agreement to buy power from multiple small modular reactors as the technology company looks to meet electricity demand from artificial intelligence.
The agreement with Kairos Power aims to bring Kairos' first small modular reactor online by 2030, followed by additional deployments through 2035.
The companies did not reveal financial details of the agreement or where in the U.S. the plants would be built. Google said it has agreed to buy 500 megawatts of power from six to seven reactors, which is smaller than the output of today's nuclear reactors.
"We feel like nuclear can play an important role in helping to meet our demand ... cleanly in a way that's more around the clock," Michael Terrell, senior director for energy and climate at Google, told reporters on a call.
Technology firms have signed several recent agreements with nuclear power companies this year as artificial intelligence boosts power demand for the first time in decades.
In March, Amazon.com <a href="https://www.reuters.com/markets/companies/AMZN.O">(AMZN.O), opens new tab</a> <a href="https://www.reuters.com/markets/deals/talen-asks-us-regulators-reject-challenge-amazon-data-center-deal-2024-07-05/">purchased</a> a nuclear-powered datacenter from Talen Energy <a href="https://www.reuters.com/markets/companies/TLN.O">(TLN.O), opens new tab</a>. Last month, Microsoft <a href="https://www.reuters.com/markets/companies/MSFT.O">(MSFT.O), opens new tab</a> and Constellation Energy <a href="https://www.reuters.com/markets/companies/CEG.O">(CEG.O), opens new tab</a> <a href="https://www.reuters.com/markets/deals/constellation-inks-power-supply-deal-with-microsoft-2024-09-20/">signed a power deal</a> to help resurrect a unit of the Three Mile Island plant in Pennsylvania, the site of the worst U.S. nuclear accident in 1979.
U.S. data center power use is expected to roughly triple between 2023 and 2030 and will require about 47 gigawatts of new generation capacity, according to Goldman Sachs estimates, which assumed natural gas, wind and solar power would fill the gap.
The Google deal will depend on Kairos getting full permitting from the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission and local agencies.
Kairos late last year got a construction permit from the NRC to build a demonstration reactor in Tennessee. But Kairos needs design and construction permits from the NRC for the reactors in the deal announced on Monday.
Small modular reactors are intended to be smaller than today's reactors with components built in a factory, instead of onsite, to help cut construction costs.
Critics say SMRs will be expensive because they may not be able to achieve the economy of scale of larger plants. In addition, they will likely produce long-lasting nuclear waste for which the country does not yet have a final repository.
Google said by committing to a so-called order book framework with Kairos, instead of buying one reactor at a time, it is sending a demand signal to the market and making a long-term investment to speed development of SMRs.
&nbsp;
"We're confident that this novel approach is going to improve the prospects of our projects being delivered on cost and on schedule," said Mike Laufer, CEO and co-founder of Kairos.

Dow Surges Over 200 Points; Longboard Pharmaceuticals Shares Jump

Ethereum Classic (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/etc/usd">ETC</a>) is trading higher by 5.17% to $19.49 Monday afternoon amid a broader surge in the cryptocurrency market, notably in Bitcoin and Ethereum <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/10/41313376/bitcoin-closes-in-on-65k-as-etfs-see-over-400m-in-net-inflows">exchange-traded funds (ETFs)</a>.
This uptick follows last week's political developments in the U.S., where a perceived shift toward Republican leadership—considered more crypto-friendly—boosted inflows into Bitcoin and Ethereum-related products, totaling $407 million.
What&#8217;s Happening: The primary catalyst behind this surge was the U.S. vice presidential debate, where subsequent polling indicated growing support for the Republican Party. This political environment, perceived as favorable to cryptocurrency adoption and regulation, overshadowed macroeconomic factors, according to analysts. 
While Bitcoin and Ethereum were the main beneficiaries, Ethereum Classic has also gained traction as investors seek exposure to the broader blockchain space beyond the top two digital assets.
Ethereum Classic, an altcoin that shares its origins with Ethereum but exists on a separate chain due to a hard fork in 2016, has historically benefited during periods of heightened interest in its larger counterparts.
Stock Of The Day: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/technicals/24/10/41316208/stock-of-the-day-boeing-stock-sells-off-as-support-collapses-job-cuts-loom">Boeing Stock Sells Off As Support Collapses, Job Cuts Loom</a>
The reasoning is clear: when Bitcoin and Ethereum see significant inflows and price increases, alternative cryptocurrencies like ETC often rally due to speculative interest, portfolio diversification, and renewed attention on projects with lower market capitalizations.
What Else: The spillover effect from Bitcoin&#8217;s $419 million inflows and Ethereum&#8217;s smaller but significant participation, even amid its own outflows, has lifted sentiment across the altcoin market. 
Ethereum Classic, as a lower-cost alternative with strong historical ties to Ethereum, has attracted new buyers. This is especially true for investors seeking cheaper entry points in the evolving crypto market.
Additionally, the rise in blockchain equity ETFs, which saw their largest weekly inflows of the year at $34 million, further signals renewed optimism across the broader crypto ecosystem.
Investors are betting on long-term growth and development in blockchain technology, and Ethereum Classic, with its emphasis on immutability and decentralization, remains a key player in this narrative.

Most of us have heard the dictum &quot;the trend is your friend.&quot; And this is undeniably the key to success when it comes to short-term investing or trading. But it isn&#39;t easy to ensure the sustainability of a trend and profit from it.
Often, the direction of a stock&#39;s price movement reverses quickly after taking a position in it, making investors incur a short-term capital loss. So, it&#39;s important to ensure that there are enough factors -- such as sound fundamentals, positive earnings estimate revisions, etc. -- that could keep the momentum in the stock going.
Investors looking to make a profit from stocks that are currently on the move may find our &quot;Recent Price Strength&quot; screen pretty useful. This predefined screen comes handy in spotting stocks that are on an uptrend backed by strength in their fundamentals, and trading in the upper portion of their 52-week high-low range, which is usually an indicator of bullishness.
<h2>Enliven Therapeutics, Inc.</h2>
(NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/elvn#NASDAQ">ELVN</a>) is one of the several suitable candidates that passed through the screen. Here are the key reasons why it could be a profitable bet for &quot;trend&quot; investors.
A solid price increase over a period of 12 weeks reflects investors&#39; continued willingness to pay more for the potential upside in a stock. ELVN is quite a good fit in this regard, gaining 26.8% over this period.
However, it&#39;s not enough to look at the price change for around three months, as it doesn&#39;t reflect any trend reversal that might have happened in a shorter time frame. It&#39;s important for a potential winner to maintain the price trend. A price increase of 25.1% over the past four weeks ensures that the trend is still in place for the stock of this company.
Moreover, ELVN is currently trading at 96.2% of its 52-week High-Low Range, hinting that it can be on the verge of a breakout.
Looking at the fundamentals, the stock currently carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), which means it is in the top 20% of more than the 4,000 stocks that we rank based on trends in earnings estimate revisions and EPS surprises -- the key factors that impact a stock&#39;s near-term price movements.
The Zacks Rank stock-rating system, which uses four factors related to earnings estimates to classify stocks into five groups, ranging from Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) to Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell), has an impressive externally-audited track record, with Zacks Rank #1 stocks generating an average annual return of +25% since 1988.
Another factor that confirms the company&#39;s fundamental strength is its Average Broker Recommendation of #1 (Strong Buy). This indicates that the brokerage community is highly optimistic about the stock&#39;s near-term price performance.
So, the price trend in ELVN may not reverse anytime soon.

On-chain analytics data Lookonchain highlighted a crypto whale's 4,000% return on an investment in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/10/41318708/memecoin-supercycle-analyst-shares-his-top-10-meme-picks-one-is-a-pre-pump-shiba-inu">SPX6900 meme coin. </a>
What Happened: The trader initially <a href="https://x.com/lookonchain/status/1845665350349918278">spent</a> $161,000 to purchase 7.79 million SPX two months ago. The trader has sold 638,000 SPX, earning $562,000 at $0.88 per SPX, leaving 7.15 million SPX worth $6 million. 
The trader&#8217;s total profit is $6.4 million, a 40x return on their initial investment. Over the past seven days, SPX is up 85.8% gains. The meme coin has surged 2,829.5% over the past month.
This significant return on investment underscores the potential profitability of strategic trading in the volatile cryptocurrency market. The investor&#8217;s strategy of buying low and selling high has paid off handsomely.

Why It Matters: The success of this whale investor could inspire other traders to adopt similar strategies, potentially leading to increased market activity and volatility. However, it&#8217;s important to note that such high returns are not guaranteed and investing in cryptocurrencies carries significant risk.
Crypto trader Murad pulled off a similar feat, having <a href="https://x.com/followin_io/status/1845019760502907034">purchased</a> SPX four months ago for a 7,900% return to date. He purchased 10.25 million SPX at an average price of around $0.0096, worth $98,000.
Based on current prices, Murad's holdings are worth around $7.89 million with an unrealized profit of around $7.79 million. The meme coin's valuation currently stands at $753.9 million, up from around $25 million a month ago.
