The Fund is an actively managed diversified exchange-traded fund (ETF) that seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing primarily in equity securities of publicly traded companies that sitting Democratic members of United States Congress and/or their families also have reported to have invested in through public disclosure filings made by such Congresspersons pursuant to the Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge Act (STOCK Act).

PTRs are filed with either the Senate Office of Public Records or the Clerk of the House of Representatives and made available online pursuant to the Ethics in Government Act (EIGA), as amended. PTRs are due within 30 days from when a Congressperson or their spouse becomes aware of a transaction, but no later than 45 days from the date of the transaction.

Wolfspeed, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WOLF#NYSE">WOLF</a>) shares are trading higher Tuesday, adding to strong gains in recent weeks. The company&#8217;s restructuring deal appears to have sparked <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/node/46396808">renewed investor confidence</a>.
What To Know: The optimism comes after the company recently initiated a pre-packaged Chapter 11 filing. As part of the restructuring plan, Wolfspeed expects to eliminate approximately $4.6 billion in debt, representing a 70% reduction, and lower annual cash interest payments by 60%. The company noted that it expects the restructuring to accelerate its path to profitability.
Wolfspeed said it will continue normal operations and customer deliveries throughout the process and aims to emerge from the restructuring by the end of the third quarter.
Last week, Wolfspeed announced the appointment of Gregor van Issum as executive vice president and CFO, effective Sept. 1. Van Issum brings experience from ams-OSRAM and NXP Semiconductors and is expected to play a key role in guiding the company through its transformation.
"Gregor has helped lead large, multibillion euro businesses with complex manufacturing operations, which will be invaluable to Wolfspeed as we unlock the potential of our purpose-built 200mm platform. The Board and I look forward to collaborating with Gregor as we position Wolfspeed for long-term growth and profitability," said Robert Feurle, CEO of Wolfspeed.

Real estate investor Grant Cardone advocates for buying rental properties to boost cash flow and benefit from long-term appreciation. He's used that strategy to amass more than $5 billion in assets under management, and he recently laid out the path to reaching a $10 million net worth.
Cardone highlighted best practices and common mistakes that people make, especially when they start to make some money.
"They think they should buy a house," Cardone bemoans while mentioning that a house is a terrible investment. Here's what you should do to <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@grantcardone/video/7525516129616383262?lang=en">amass $10 million</a>, according to Cardone.

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Your Money Loses Value In The Bank</h2>
It didn't take long for Cardone to mention that the U.S. dollar has lost 25% of its value since the pandemic. Keeping your money in a high-yield savings account will increase the nominal value of your account. If you have $1,000 in your savings account and earn 4% APY, you'll end up with $1,040.&nbsp;
However, inflation hurts the value of the money that you keep in your bank account. Even if inflation is low, some of your favorite businesses may raise their prices at rates higher than the posted inflation amount.&nbsp;
Your money isn't doing any good in the bank. Cardone mentioned that people put their money in the bank, and then the banks proceed to lend that money to individuals and businesses. Cardone asserts that it's not really your money when you put it in the bank since the financial institutions get to use your money for loans.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Don't Change Your Living Standards</h2>
One of the most common mistakes people make is changing their living standards the moment they make more money. Regardless of whether you get a small raise or double your income, Cardone encourages people to maintain their living standards.
By skipping the Lambos, Guccis, and other high-end items, you can plow more money into your investments. Real estate, stocks, and crypto are some of the places you can put your money to multiply your net worth.
Aggressively investing your money and maintaining frugal living standards can eventually put you in a position where your investments grow faster than your ability to earn additional income. This part of Cardone's advice caters to making short-term sacrifices for long-term gains.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A House Is A Terrible Investment</h2>
Cardone also mentions that a house is a bad investment and that you shouldn't rush to buy a house just because you're making extra money. This advice may not seem practical to people who value home equity and view rent as throwing money away. However, you have to lock up a lot of money in your home through the down payment and monthly mortgage payments.
If you rent, you can move on a whim, and you don't have to make a big down payment. Some investors can generate higher returns by investing in stocks and real estate instead of putting the same money into a down payment.&nbsp;
Homes make more sense if you have a family and are ready to settle into a neighborhood. Cardone owns some luxury homes, but he made those purchases after making many successful real estate investments. A house isn't an investment unless it's producing cash flow from tenants.

Small-cap investing does not work anymore. Everyone knows that. Small companies are unprofitable garbage, and most of those companies can barely pay their bills.
You need to own the big tech giants that are building the brave new world of tomorrow. Bigger is better. Everyone knows that.
Value investing is not even for old people anymore. All these value types are dead except for Warren Buffett, and he is 600 years old.
&nbsp;I cannot imagine a dumber way to invest than buying small stocks that trade for less than book value. You might as well throw your cash out the window or give it to the Flat Earth Society.
I need most of you to do me a favor. Please keep believing that.
Only buy stocks that have been mentioned on CNBC at least five times by 9 a.m. Sell any stock you own that is also owned by 75% of your coworkers.
Use any spare cash you have that you are not using to bet on 12-team parlays to buy options trading courses, and day trading systems. Dismiss with a sneer of the lip and a wave of the hand anything that challenges conventional wisdom. Please continue with these practices that allow you to lock in average returns and speculative mediocrity.
Never even stop to consider what happens if you approach the small-cap universe with a different mindset.
Or just maybe you could do all this a little differently
Instead of thinking like an index fund manager or buying the stocks your buddy Joe in shipping was talking about, approach the market like a trash man.
Get rid of all the garbage in the small-cap universe. Dump all the companies with too much debt. Get rid of the ones that are issuing stock to cover operating expenses.
Dump the ones where profits are declining every year.
Bad business plan? Dump it.
Shoddy products? Dumped. Shady accounting? Gone.
The trash man cometh.
I started with a database of roughly 5,500 companies.
Only 1,716 of them have a market cap less than $2 billion.
Just 216 of these survive the trash removal process.
On average, only about 24 trade for less than tangible book value.
On average, only about a dozen of these also have positive price momentum.
Owning these&nbsp; stocks has compounded at an extraordinarily high rate over the last 25 years. Investors who started using this strategy back in 2000 and rebalanced their portfolio every quarter would have 26 times as much money as those who bought an index fund.
While there are only a very small handful of candidates today, and many of them are too small to discuss in an open forum, here are three under-the-radar, high-quality small companies whose stocks have decent price momentum.
Oil States International (Ticker: OIS) is a small-cap energy services company that provides equipment and services for oil and gas drilling, completion, and production. The business operates across three segments: Well Site Services, Offshore/Manufactured Products, and Downhole Technologies. While the company is headquartered in Houston, it has a global presence with fabrication facilities and service locations strategically located in offshore and onshore oil-producing regions. The Offshore/Manufactured Products segment, which provides capital equipment for offshore drilling and production, has historically been the company&#8217;s margin driver. OIS is exposed to cyclical trends in drilling activity, but management has taken steps to diversify through international expansion and targeted technology offerings.
On the balance sheet front, OIS has made meaningful progress in reducing its debt load since the downturn in the oil market in 2015–2016. Total debt stands at approximately $132 million with no near-term maturities, and the company had over $42 million in cash at the end of the first quarter of 2025. The company continues to generate modest free cash flow, aided by disciplined capital expenditures and better cost absorption in manufacturing. Profitability is still recovering, with EBITDA margins in the high single digits, though improving year-over-year as energy capital spending rebounds. Its Piotroski F-score hovers in the 5 to 6 range, indicating moderate financial strength, but operating leverage and working capital swings remain key risks.
Shares of OIS trade at under 6.5 times forward EV/EBITDA and around 0.75 times book value, suggesting the stock remains attractively valued given the company&#8217;s cyclical recovery potential. Analyst sentiment has improved alongside higher offshore activity levels and more stable oilfield services pricing. While it may never reclaim its peak-cycle multiples, the firm appears reasonably priced for patient investors willing to ride the late-cycle tailwinds in oil and gas capital spending. Insider ownership remains modest but aligned, and continued margin expansion could catalyze further re-rating.
NACCO Industries (Ticker: NC) is a diversified holding company primarily known for its ownership of North American Coal Corporation, a provider of surface mining services to utility and industrial customers. The company also has smaller segments in specialty lift trucks and natural resources investments. NACCO&#8217;s coal contracts are long-term, cost-plus agreements, which provide some insulation from commodity price volatility and result in predictable cash flows. Despite operating in a declining coal environment, management has positioned the company as a low-cost operator with specialized mining solutions for power plants and industrial users.
From a balance sheet perspective, NACCO is extremely conservative. The company carries virtually no long-term debt and maintains a cash-rich balance sheet, with more than $100 million in liquidity relative to a market capitalization below $300 million. Cash flows are uneven due to lumpy mining development revenues and legacy asset monetization's, but profitability has been resilient. Return on equity has averaged in the high single digits, and the company generates respectable operating margins. Its F-score has consistently registered between 7 and 8, reflecting solid fundamentals. That said, long-term secular headwinds in coal and a dearth of new contracts limit top-line growth.
Valuation is compelling, with the stock trading at under 8 times trailing earnings and below tangible book value. The dividend yield is near 3 percent, and the company has a track record of occasional special dividends. With insiders owning over 30 percent of the stock, management is strongly aligned with shareholders and has historically taken a cautious capital allocation approach. Investors should be aware of the existential regulatory and demand risks to coal over time, but the downside appears modestly protected by balance sheet strength and contract durability.
Eagle Bancorp Montana (Ticker: EBMT) is a community bank holding company based in Helena, Montana, with roughly $2.1 billion in assets. The bank operates over 20 branches across the state and serves retail and commercial customers with a full suite of lending, deposit, and wealth management products. EBMT has pursued a consistent strategy of expansion through acquisition, having completed several deals in recent years to broaden its footprint. The loan portfolio is diversified, with meaningful exposure to commercial real estate, residential mortgages, and agriculture lending.
From a credit perspective, EBMT has maintained solid underwriting standards, though like many peers, it has experienced rising funding costs and modest pressure on net interest margins in 2024 and 2025. Nonperforming assets remain low at under 0.5 percent of total assets, and the allowance for credit losses is conservatively reserved. Tangible common equity stands at 8.4 percent of assets, and the bank has maintained dividend payments throughout the rate cycle. The fundamentals of the bank are excellent reflecting asset quality, earnings stability, and conservative capital management. Valuation is attractive at just 0.85 times tangible book value and around 8 times forward earnings. The dividend yield is above 4.5 percent, and the company has authorized share repurchases in prior years. Insider ownership exceeds 5 percent, and the board has shown willingness to pursue accretive M&amp;A and prudent capital returns. As the rate cycle stabilizes and loan demand normalizes, EBMT could see its earnings multiple expand, particularly if credit quality holds and efficiency improves.

Trader Notes: Crypto trader Degengambleeh <a href="https://x.com/degengambleh/status/1944998859429544358">described</a> BONK as having graduated from meme coin status into a cultural movement. 
Rather than chasing hype, BONK is now expected to be a key driver of market momentum.
Osemka <a href="https://x.com/Osemka8/status/1945086092350275821">says</a> BONK's recent price action was impulsive, an indication of strong bullish momentum. 
He expects the breakout zone between $0.000024 and $0.000026 to be retested soon. 
Given the heavy interaction with this range over the last year, he calls it a solid loading zone for traders seeking new entries.

Prominent trader Unipcs <a href="https://x.com/theunipcs/status/1944696030504644669">sees </a>BONK's viral retail appeal and strong fundamentals as catalysts for an explosive rally. 
BONK is already listed on major retail and institutional platforms, giving it access to vast liquidity and creating a powerful growth flywheel. 
With its low unit price, it appeals to retail traders who dream of turning small bets into &#8220;life-changing gains,&#8221; much like Shiba Inu during its parabolic run.
BONK's bullish case is further supported by two ETF filings, which could soon provide institutional-grade exposure. According to Unipcs, a $10 billion market cap is not a question of if, but when.
Statistics: Unipcs noted BONK's launchpad, BonkFun, maintained an average 67.2% market share over nine consecutive days. 
It generated an average of $1.2 million in daily fees, with 50% of that directed to buy-and-burn mechanisms.
An additional 8% is allocated for Strategic BONK Reserves and BonkRewards, potentially driving annualized revenue of $439 million.
Coinglass data also showed a 13% rise in open interest and derivatives volume, reinforcing the growing market engagement with BONK.

In the current session, the stock is trading at $547.25, after a 0.79% spike. Over the past month, Comfort Systems USA Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FIX#NYSE">FIX</a>) stock increased by 9.76%, and in the past year, by 79.51%. With performance like this, long-term shareholders are optimistic but others are more likely to look into the price-to-earnings ratio to see if the stock might be overvalued.

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1752595220_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>How Does Comfort Systems USA P/E Compare to Other Companies?</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
Comfort Systems USA has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 152.15 of the Construction &amp; Engineering industry. Ideally, one might believe that the stock might perform worse than its peers, but it's also probable that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1752595220_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.
