<p>In 1976, <em>The Wall Street Journal</em> published an opinion column that ascribed an astounding revelation to one of the greatest minds in history. Albert Einstein was asked what he surmised to be man's greatest invention.</p>
<p>He didn't answer with the wheel or electricity. He replied: "<strong>Compound interest</strong>."</p>
<p>Whether he actually said that is up for debate, but the truth behind the quote is undeniable.</p>
<p>It sounds simple. It <em>is</em> simple. But most investors still get it wrong.</p>
<p><strong><em>Compounding, Part 1: Interest on your interest</em></strong></p>
<p>Compound interest is money's version of a perpetual motion machine. You earn interest not just on your principal, but on your <em>interest</em>. And then interest on <em>that</em>. Over and over.</p>
<p>It's how a modest investment return can snowball a portfolio into something impressive—<em>if you let it</em>.</p>
<p>But here's where many investors trip: they become obsessed with chasing higher returns.</p>
<p>Beating the market feels like winning. But building wealth isn't about winning annual benchmark comparisons. Given your risk tolerance and emotional fortitude, it's about growing your portfolio to its maximum potential.</p>
<p>Ask yourself: Would you rather beat the market in some years and end up with $1 million…or underperform in many years but wind up with $1.2 million?</p>
<p>You can't spend bragging rights in retirement.</p>
<p><strong><em>Compounding, Part 2: Time—the hidden superpower</em></strong></p>
<p>The longer your money stays invested, the harder compounding works as your silent partner in wealth creation.</p>
<p>Warren Buffett is unquestionably a skilled investor, but his superpower is time. He has been a good investor, a patient investor, for <em>eight decades</em>.</p>
<p>The time component of compounding is the rocket fuel that took Buffett's wealth accumulation into the stratosphere. It's why his first billion came after age 55, and 97% of his wealth came after his 65<sup>th</sup> birthday.</p>

<p>Charlie Munger put it bluntly: "The first rule of compounding is to <strong>never interrupt it unnecessarily</strong>." And how do investors usually interrupt it? By chasing higher returns. That's like taking a chainsaw to a bonsai tree because it's growing too slow.</p>
<p>Peter Lynch ran Fidelity's Magellan Fund from 1977 to 1990, posting an incredible 29.2% average annual return—nearly double the S&amp;P 500. You'd think investors would've made a fortune, right?</p>
<p>Nope. During that remarkable run under Lynch, the average investor in the fund reportedly <strong>lost money</strong>. Why? They bought in late after big run-ups, panic-sold after downturns, and sat in cash looking for a different "market winner" when they should have stayed the course.</p>
<p>They turned a compounding machine into a vending machine, and it ate their dollar bills. (The Magellan story is not an isolated tale. See <a href="https://cosmodestefano.substack.com/p/winning-the-long-game-investing-requires">here</a> for more on the prevalence of this investor performance gap.)</p>
<p><strong><em>Compounding, Part 3: New money—the force multiplier</em></strong></p>
<p>The most underrated lever in wealth-building isn't returns or timing. It's you. Specifically, your <strong>monthly contributions</strong>.</p>
<p>Let's say you start with $1,000 and earn 10% annually. After five years, you'll have a little over $1,600. Not bad.</p>
<p>But now imagine you also invest $100 every month. After those five years, your portfolio swells to <strong>nearly $10,000</strong>. That's a 500% leap — not from better performance, but from steady, boring, powerful consistency.</p>
<p><strong>In the first 10-15 years of your wealth-building journey, <em>how much</em> you invest matters more than <em>how well</em> you invest.</strong></p>
<p>But what if you could double your return? Here's how the math shakes out:</p>
<ul>
<li>Save 20% of your salary and earn 5% annually, and your portfolio balance surpasses your salary in about <strong>4.5 years</strong>.</li>
<li>Double your return to 10%? You get there just <strong>five months</strong> faster.</li>
</ul>
<p>The early innings aren't won by clever trades or market timing. They're won by habit and hustle—those monthly contributions. (Later, once your portfolio has real weight behind it, returns start pulling more of the load.)</p>
<p><strong><em>The wealth accumulation trifecta</em></strong></p>
<p>Intuitively, pursuing the highest returns feels like the best way to maximize wealth. However, once investors consider the importance of both time and monthly contributions, they realize that <strong>maximizing annual returns and maximizing wealth are two different concepts</strong>.</p>
<p>To build wealth, you don't need to swing for the fences. You need to stack three simple habits:</p>
<ol>
<li>Earn reasonable, repeatable returns</li>
<li>Let time do its quiet work, uninterrupted</li>
<li>Keep adding fresh cash every month</li>
</ol>
<p>That's the trifecta. No gimmicks. No get-rich-quick trades. Just boring, beautiful compounding.</p>
<p>Don't let the early years of compounding fool you. They feel slow, almost like nothing's happening. But that's how compounding starts. Quiet. Invisible. Then&#8230;exponential.</p>
<p>Stay patient. Stick to your plan. Trust that compounding portfolio growth does work.</p>
<p>Review your investment strategy this week with these three principles in mind. As the current markets bounce around and headlines scream, lean into discipline, not drama.</p>
<p>While others chase performance like caffeinated cats in a laser pointer factory, you'll quietly build unstoppable momentum.</p>
<p>You don't need to be the first across the wealth accumulation finish line, but by embracing all three components of compounding, you can help ensure that you do indeed cross it.</p>
<p>As always, invest often and wisely. Thank you for reading.</p>

<h3>About FedEx</h3>
<p>FedEx pioneered overnight delivery in 1973 and remains the world's largest express package provider. In its fiscal 2024, which ended in May, FedEx derived 47% of revenue from its express division, 37% from ground, and 10% from freight, its asset-based less-than-truckload shipping segment. The remainder came from other services, including FedEx Office, which provides document production/shipping, and FedEx Logistics, which provides global forwarding. FedEx acquired Dutch parcel delivery firm TNT Express in 2016, boosting its presence across Europe. TNT was previously the fourth-largest global parcel delivery provider.</p>

Looking At FedEx's Recent Unusual Options Activity

<p><strong>CVR Energy, Inc. </strong>(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVI#NYSE">CVI</a>) is set to report its first-quarter earnings Monday after the bell, and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings?tickers=CVI">Wall Street is bracing for</a> a loss of $0.89 per share on revenue of $1.31 billion.</p>
<p>The stock is down a rough 43.78% over the past year but has been showing signs of resilience lately, falling just 0.85% year-to-date and 6.05% in the past month. But while the scoreboard looks bruised, legendary investor <strong>Carl Icahn</strong> clearly sees an opening others are missing.</p>
<p>Let's dig into what the charts are signaling and how Icahn&#8217;s bold moves set the tone ahead of the numbers.</p>

<p>The technicals are flashing mixed signals. CVI stock, at $18.62, is above its eight-day and 20-day simple moving averages, signaling a short-term bullish signal. However, it sits slightly below its 50-day and well below its 200-day moving averages, suggesting there's still technical damage to repair in the long term.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, CVI's MACD (moving average convergence/divergence) indicator of a negative 0.18 and an RSI (relative strength index) hovering at 51.87 hints at positive momentum but warn that the stock could be treading into overbought territory if the rally continues unchecked.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Icahn's Big Bet On CVI</h2>
<p>While Wall Street debates CVR's near-term prospects, Carl Icahn has been busy buying &#8211; not talking. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/long-ideas/25/04/44845918/carl-icahn-loads-up-cvr-energy-stock-drops-27-million-on-bullish-april-binge">In April alone</a>, filings show Icahn snapped up over 1.5 million shares worth more than $27 million. His total stake now sits at a commanding 70.1 million shares.</p>
<p>This isn't a silent vote of confidence. When Icahn leans into a stock this hard, it's usually a prelude to strategic shakeups, boardroom battles, or transformational plays. Investors ignoring this power move might be missing the bigger picture.</p>

The company recently reported that it has <strong>5.19 million shares sold short</strong>, which is 16.63% of all regular shares that are available for trading.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
<p>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?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">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.</p>
<p>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.</p>

You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.</p>
<p>According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Brinker International's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 8.97%, which means the company has <strong>more</strong> short interest than most of its peers.</p>

Is the Market Bullish or Bearish on Brinker International?

<p>In the current session, <strong>Abercrombie &amp; Fitch Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ANF#NYSE">ANF</a>)</strong> is trading at $71.61, after a <strong>0.04%</strong> decrease. Over the past month, the stock decreased by <strong>11.44%</strong>, and in the past year, by <strong>42.60%</strong>. With performance like this, long-term shareholders are more likely to start looking into the company's price-to-earnings ratio. </p>
<p>
</p><p><img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1745856031_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" /></p>

<h3>A Look at Abercrombie &amp; Fitch P/E Relative to Its Competitors</h3>
<p>The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. </p>
<p>Abercrombie &amp; Fitch has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of <strong>20.78</strong> of the Specialty Retail industry. Ideally, one might believe that the stock might perform worse than its peers, but it's also probable that the stock is undervalued. </p>
<p>
</p><p><img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1745856031_1.png" alt="Guage" /></p>

<p>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. </p>
