This Is What Whales Are Betting On McDonald's

Over half of Americans — 56% — say they plan to host guests for Thanksgiving this year. With costs rising 19% from last year, consumers are<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s/24/11/41944635/inflation-on-track-but-fed-may-go-slowly-on-interest-rate-cuts-experts-say"> feeling the pinch. </a>
What To Know: The cost of hosting Thanksgiving dinner in 2024 is up 19% from last year with an average of $431 spent on food, drink and decor for the event, according to <a href="https://www.lendingtree.com/credit-cards/study/thanksgiving-cost-report/">a survey</a> from LendingTree, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TREE#NASDAQ">TREE</a>). 
"Whenever you start spending more, there's always going to be more risk. That's especially true when you're spending almost 20% more than last year," said Matt Schulz, LendingTree chief credit analyst.&nbsp;
"Most people's budgets are tight, leaving little financial wiggle room from month to month, so a 20% increase can be a big deal," Schulz added.&nbsp;
Read More: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/11/42101365/indian-billionaire-one-of-the-worlds-richest-men-indicted-for-alleged-250-million-bribery-scheme">Indian Billionaire, One Of The World&#8217;s Richest Men, Indicted For Alleged $250 Million Bribery Scheme</a>
Survey respondents said they expect to spend an average of $265 on food and drinks and $166 on decor for an average of 11 guests at their table for the holiday this year. Most hosts — 60% — expect their guests to pitch in with either money or an item to offset expenses with 25% saying they may reconsider sending an invitation next year to a guest that arrives empty-handed. 
More than a third — 36% — of potential hosts say the amount they will spend on Thanksgiving will be a financial strain with 34% of potential hosts planning to use credit cards for Thanksgiving costs. Strikingly, 14% of hosts already regret their decision to do so. 
Sales and Promos: According to the survey, 30% of potential hosts will shop around, while 22% will use coupons and 33% will do both to help to offset costs. Retailers are trying to ease the financial strain by offering special Thanksgiving promotions and sales events.&nbsp;
Walmart, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>) is promoting its Inflation-Free Thanksgiving Meal for 2024, which the company says allows customers to prepare the holiday meal for under $7 per person. The total cost for the meal to serve eight people is just over $53 and includes turkey, stuffing, gravy, cranberry sauce and dessert. 
Albertsons Companies, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ACI#NYSE">ACI</a>) is offering a Thanksgiving promotion for a free 16- to 20-pound turkey when customers spend $150 or more on groceries in a single transaction. Target Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TGT#NYSE">TGT</a>) has brought back its Thanksgiving meal deal, priced at $20, for four people. In addition to the meal, Target is offering frozen turkeys at 79 cents per pound, a 20% reduction from last year. 
"It's such old and cliched advice, but it's true," Schulz says. "Taking the time to comparison shop can save you significant money at the holidays or any other time of year."

The filing follows similar moves by Bitwise and Canary Capital, who are also seeking approval for XRP ETFs. 
WisdomTree's proposed XRP ETF is part of a wave of filings from investment firms aiming to provide U.S. investors with easier access to cryptocurrency markets. 
Last week, Bitwise submitted an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42139601/solana-hits-264-record-high-as-etf-filings-regulatory-optimism-drive-market-momentum">S-1 registration statement</a> for a Solana ETF, signaling a shift toward diversified crypto ETF products.
However, XRP&#8217;s journey to becoming an ETF-backed asset faces significant regulatory hurdles, given Ripple's ongoing legal battles with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
Ripple Labs, the issuer of XRP, has been embroiled in a legal dispute with the SEC, which accuses the company of selling XRP as an unregistered security. 
Although Ripple secured a partial victory in 2023, ruling that retail XRP sales did not violate securities laws, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42131449/with-gary-gensler-preparing-to-quit-in-2025-secs-crypto-cases-likely-to-quietly-go-away-amid-trumps-pro-bitcoin-stance-says-pantera-capitals-katrina-paglia">the SEC</a> has appealed.
This regulatory uncertainty complicates the path to ETF approval for XRP.

Why It Matters: Brad Garlinghouse, Ripple&#8217;s CEO, remains optimistic about the inevitability of an XRP <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/10/41520740/ripple-ceo-expects-xrp-etf-as-institutional-demand-for-crypto-grows">ETF despite these challenges.</a>
"Since funds holding Bitcoin were first approved in January, $17 billion has flowed into the fastest-growing ETF in history," Garlinghouse said, emphasizing the growing appetite for crypto ETFs among institutional investors.
WisdomTree's filing follows a growing trend highlighted by 21Shares' recent application for a spot XRP ETF, the 21Shares Core XRP Trust, to be <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/41693909/xrp-etf-coming-soon-21shares-files-for-one-despite-ripples-legal-battles">listed on the Cboe BZX Exchange.</a> 
21Shares' filing comes amid the SEC's legal scrutiny of Ripple, with accusations that Ripple raised $1.3 billion through unregistered XRP sales. 
The demand for crypto ETFs comes as the market anticipates clearer regulations and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42098407/donald-trump-reportedly-eyeing-the-first-crypto-focused-role-in-the-white-house">broader adoption of digital assets.</a>
Industry experts, like Nate Geraci, President of the ETF Store, described Bitwise&#8217;s move to file for an XRP ETF as "strategic," despite legal challenges.

Jefferies Maintains Buy on Reddit, Raises Price Target to $175

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.

<h3>Comparing Take-Two Interactive'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>, 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.
