<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?utm_source=insights&amp;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.
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 NICE'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://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, NICE's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 5.82%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

To gain an edge, this is what you need to know today.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">King Nvidia Earnings Ahead</h4>
Please <a href="https://thearorareport.com/chart-analysis-stock-market-money-flow-chinese-stocks-nvidia-earnings-ahead-baba-mc-02212025">click here</a> for an enlarged chart of Chinese e-commerce company Alibaba Group Holding Ltd &#8211; ADR (BABA).
Note the following:
<ul>
<li>This article is about the big picture, not an individual stock.&nbsp; The chart of BABA stock is being used to illustrate the point.</li>
<li>The chart shows the rise in BABA stock over the last several weeks. The rise is due to money flowing into Chinese stocks, especially BABA.</li>
<li>The chart shows when an Arora buy signal was triggered.</li>
<li>The chart shows the jump up in BABA stock yesterday on earnings.</li>
<li>The chart shows the jump up was on heavy volume, indicating conviction.</li>
<li>The chart shows the Arora signals to take partial profits during the rise and on yesterday's jump up.</li>
<li>RSI on the chart shows BABA stock is overbought.&nbsp; Overbought stocks are susceptible to a pullback.</li>
<li>Part of the buying in BABA is coming from the meme crowd after a report that Ryan Cohen, founder of Chewy Inc (CHWY), has bought almost $1B worth of BABA stock.  Previously, Ryan Cohen triggered a meme crowd buying frenzy in GameStop Corp (GME).</li>
<li>Money is flowing in aggressively in all Chinese stocks, especially tech stocks.&nbsp; Overnight, stocks in Hong Kong jumped 4%.</li>
<li>Recently, the momo crowd's favorite stocks took a hit.  In the early trade, the momo crowd is aggressively buying the dip in its favorite stocks, including Palantir Technologies Inc (PLTR), MicroStrategy Inc (MSTR), Robinhood Markets Inc (HOOD), Applovin Corp ( APP), Hims &amp; Hers Health Inc (HIMS), Oklo Inc (OKLO), IONQ Inc (IONQ), and Rigetti Computing Inc (RGTI).</li>
<li>Crypto company Coinbase Global Inc (COIN) is seeing aggressive buying after the SEC dropped a long running case against Coinbase.</li>
<li>The drop in the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) is due to only one stock, UnitedHealth Group Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNH#NYSE">UNH</a>).  UNH stock is falling 11.6% as of this writing in the premarket. UNH stock is falling this morning on the news that the Department of Justice has launched an investigation.  The news is bringing down other stocks such as CVS Health Corp (CVS), Humana Inc (HUM), and Cigna Group (CI).</li>
<li>The main event ahead for the stock market is NVIDIA Corp (NVDA) earnings.  Investors will be looking for insights on the impact of DeepSeek on Nvidia.  As full disclosure, when NVDA stock fell on DeepSeek panic, The Arora Report gave a buy signal for a trade around position in ZYX Buy.  In The Arora Report analysis, Nvidia earnings will impact the entire stock market.  </li>
<li>University of Michigan consumer sentiment was released at 10am ET.  At The Arora Report, we will be very carefully scrutinizing this data after the lower guidance from Walmart Inc (WMT).  The data may be market moving.</li>
</ul>
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Magnificent Seven Money Flows</h4>
In the early trade, money flows are positive in Amazon.com, Inc. (AMZN), Alphabet Inc Class C (GOOG), Meta Platforms Inc (META), Microsoft Corp (MSFT), NVDA, and Tesla Inc (TSLA).
In the early trade, money flows are neutral in Apple Inc (AAPL).
In the early trade, money flows are neutral in SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (SPY) and Invesco QQQ Trust Series 1 (QQQ).
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Momo Crowd And Smart Money In Stocks</h4>
Investors can gain an edge by knowing money flows in SPY and QQQ.  Investors can get a bigger edge by knowing when smart money is buying stocks, gold, and oil.  The most popular ETF for gold is SPDR Gold Trust (GLD).  The most popular ETF for silver is iShares Silver Trust (SLV).  The most popular ETF for oil is United States Oil ETF (USO).
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Bitcoin</h4>
Bitcoin is seeing buying on SEC withdrawing its long running case against COIN.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Protection Band And What To Do Now</h4>
It is important for investors to look ahead and not in the rearview mirror.&nbsp; The proprietary protection band from The Arora Report is very popular.&nbsp; The protection band puts all of the data, all of the indicators, all of the news, all of the crosscurrents, all of the models, and all of the analysis in an analytical framework that is easily actionable by investors.
Consider continuing to hold good, very long term, existing positions. Based on individual risk preference, consider a protection band consisting of cash or Treasury bills or short-term tactical trades as well as short to medium term hedges and short term hedges. This is a good way to protect yourself and participate in the upside at the same time.
You can determine your protection bands by adding cash to hedges.&nbsp; The high band of the protection is appropriate for those who are older or conservative. The low band of the protection is appropriate for those who are younger or aggressive.&nbsp; If you do not hedge, the total cash level should be more than stated above but significantly less than cash plus hedges.
A protection band of 0% would be very bullish and would indicate full investment with 0% in cash.&nbsp; A protection band of 100% would be very bearish and would indicate a need for aggressive protection with cash and hedges or aggressive short selling.
It is worth reminding that you cannot take advantage of new upcoming opportunities if you are not holding enough cash.&nbsp; When adjusting hedge levels, consider adjusting partial stop quantities for stock positions (non ETF); consider using wider stops on remaining quantities and also allowing more room for high beta stocks.&nbsp; High beta stocks are the ones that move more than the market.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Traditional 60/40 Portfolio</h4>
Probability based risk reward adjusted for inflation does not favor long duration strategic bond allocation at this time.
Those who want to stick to traditional 60% allocation to stocks and 40% to bonds may consider focusing on only high quality bonds and bonds of five year duration or less.&nbsp; Those willing to bring sophistication to their investing may consider using bond ETFs as tactical positions and not strategic positions at this time.
The Arora Report is known for its accurate calls. The Arora Report correctly called the big artificial intelligence rally before anyone else, the new bull market of 2023, the bear market of 2022, new stock market highs right after the virus low in 2020, the virus drop in 2020, the DJIA rally to 30,000 when it was trading at 16,000, the start of a mega bull market in 2009, and the financial crash of 2008.

On Thursday, Guardant Health (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GH#NYSE">GH</a>) reported fourth-quarter adjusted EPS loss of 62 cents, compared to a loss of 64 cents a year ago, beating the <a target="_blank" href="http://during the premarket session on last check Thursday." rel="noreferrer noopener">consensus loss of 74 cents</a>.
The cancer diagnostic company reported sales of $201.8 million, up 30% year over year, beating the consensus of $192.14 million, driven by an increase in the volume of clinical tests and biopharma tests, which grew <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/02/b43865627/guardant-health-reports-fourth-quarter-and-full-year-2024-financial-results-and-provides-2025-outl" rel="noreferrer noopener">24% and 16%, respectively</a>.
The company reported approximately 57,300 oncology clinical tests (excluding Shield) and 11,050 biopharma tests.
The increase in precision oncology revenue was also attributable to an increase in reimbursement for tests due to an increase in Medicare reimbursement for the Guardant360 LDT test to $5,000 and an increase in both Medicare Advantage and commercial payer reimbursement.

On Friday, Exelixis, Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EXEL#NASDAQ">EXEL</a>) authorized repurchasing up to an additional $500 million of the company&#8217;s common stock before <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/02/b43868849/exelixis-announces-a-newly-authorized-500-million-stock-repurchase-program" rel="noreferrer noopener">December 31, 2025</a>.
Exelixis plans to complete the $500 million stock repurchase program, announced in August 2024, in the second quarter of 2025 and commence stock repurchases under the newly authorized stock repurchase program thereafter.
As of the end of fiscal year 2024, Exelixis has returned over $1.2 billion to shareholders through these programs.
Earlier this month, Exelixis reported fourth-quarter adjusted EPS of 55 cents, beating the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">consensus of 43 cents</a>. The cancer-focused company reported sales of $566.75 million, beating the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/02/b43640071/exelixis-announces-fourth-quarter-and-fiscal-year-2024-financial-results-and-provides-corporate-up" rel="noreferrer noopener">consensus of $563.42 million</a>.

Recently, Exelixis announced the final results from the phase 3 CheckMate -9ER pivotal trial evaluating Cabometyx&nbsp;(cabozantinib) in combination with Bristol-Myers Squibb &amp; Co&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BMY#NYSE">BMY</a>) Opdivo&nbsp;(nivolumab) versus sunitinib for patients with previously untreated advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC).
After more than five years of follow-up, the findings demonstrated that the efficacy benefits of Cabometyx&nbsp;in combination with Opdivo were sustained long-term.
At a median follow-up of 67.6 months, Cabometyx, in combination with Opdivo, improved progression-free survival and overall survival compared with Pfizer Inc&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PFE#NYSE">PFE</a>) Sutent (sunitinib) in the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/02/b43756537/exelixis-announces-final-five-year-follow-up-results-from-checkmate-9er-trial-evaluating-cabometyx" rel="noreferrer noopener">intent-to-treat population</a>.
A subgroup analysis by the International Metastatic RCC Database Consortium (IMDC) risk showed PFS and objective response rates favored Cabometyx in combination with Opdivo versus sunitinib regardless of the IMDC risk group.
In January, Exelixis announced that its supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) for cabozantinib for adults with previously treated advanced pancreatic neuroendocrine and extra-pancreatic tumors will no longer be discussed at the FDA&#8217;s Oncologic Drugs Advisory Committee meeting. The sNDA remains under consideration by the FDA and has a Prescription Drug User Fee Act action <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/01/b42896345/exelixis-provides-update-on-oncologic-drugs-advisory-committee-meeting-for-cabozantinib-cabometyx-" rel="noreferrer noopener">date of April 3</a>.

<h3>About Freeport-McMoRan</h3>

It sold around 1.2 million metric tons of copper (its share) in 2024, making it the one of the world's largest copper miners by volume. It also sold about 900,000 ounces of gold, mostly from Grasberg, and 70 million pounds of molybdenum. It had about 25 years of copper reserves at end December 2024. we expect it to sell similar amounts of copper midcycle in 2029, though we expect gold volumes to decline to about 700,000 ounces then due to falling production at Grasberg.

Looking At Freeport-McMoRan's Recent Unusual Options Activity

Elon Musk doesn't just work hard—he sleeps hard. The billionaire tech mogul has reportedly been crashing on the floor of his government office, which sits just across from the West Wing of the White House.
Since taking on his new role as head of the Department of Government Efficiency under President Donald Trump, Musk has been spending long hours at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building—so long that he's apparently decided to just sleep there.

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Sleeping In The Office—Again</h2>
A Republican source told People that Musk has been &#8220;holed up&#8221; in his government office, sometimes sleeping on the couch and sometimes straight-up on the floor. Not exactly Tesla's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>)&nbsp; luxury interiors, but Musk has never been big on comfort.
It's not the first time Musk has made an office his bedroom. He famously <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fTj3h7wp1Mw">lived in a Tesla factory </a>for three years, sleeping on a couch, under his desk, and even in a tent on the roof. His reasoning back then? Too much work, not enough time to go home.
Now, history seems to be repeating itself—only this time, instead of a Tesla plant, his makeshift bedroom is in a government building next to Trump's White House.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Government Office? More Like A Full-Time Home</h2>
The EEOB, where Musk has been sleeping, houses various agencies under the Executive Office of the President. It's next to the White House, making it easy for Musk to stay close to Trump.
And while Musk may not have a bed, the EEOB does have perks. A cafeteria, a gym, and even a bowling alley are available for government employees, so at least he's not starving.
But Musk isn't the only one spending extra time in the office. His 4-year-old son, X Æ A-Xii, has reportedly been around "quite a bit." The toddler even made an appearance at a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqjjPYekxgM&amp;ab_channel=FOX9Minneapolis-St.Paul">Feb. 11 Oval Office press conference,</a> standing beside Musk and Trump while making faces at reporters.

If They Could Show A Plan For Ending World Hunger He'd Donate $6 Billion – ‘I Will Sell Tesla Stock Right Now And Do It'</a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Mar-a-Lago: Musk's Other "Home"</h2>
When Musk isn't sleeping in his government office, he's reportedly spending time at Mar-a-Lago. <a href="https://people.com/elon-musk-sleeping-office-floor-near-white-house-exclusive-11678717">People magazine quoted sources</a> as saying he was living at Trump's Florida resort during the presidential transition, helping shape the administration's tech policies.
One Palm Beach told People last month that Melania Trump was "glad to have a babysitter for Donald" while Musk was hanging around.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">So, Why Is Musk Sleeping There?</h2>
It's unclear exactly why Musk is choosing to sleep in the EEOB, but given his history, it's likely just about efficiency. If you ask Musk, he'd probably say something like &#8220;too much work, no time to leave.&#8221;
The White House has not commented on his sleeping habits. Neither has Musk. But for now, the world's richest man is apparently sleeping on the floor, just a few steps from Trump's White House.

Elon Musk's New Crash Pad? The Floor Of His Government Office Next To Trump's West Wing

Bybit founder Ben Zhou has raised concerns that multisig wallet provider Safe may have been compromised, allowing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/02/43886224/bybit-founder-confirms-1-4-billion-ethereum-hack-blames-masked-transaction">hackers to steal $1.4 billion</a> in Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>). 
Speaking in a live stream, Zhou explained that the attack targeted Bybit's Ethereum cold wallet, but all other wallets, including its Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) reserves, remain unaffected.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">How The Attack Unfolded</h3>
Zhou recounted how the attackers manipulated Bybit's signing process while maintaining the appearance of a legitimate Safe transaction.
&#8220;It was a normal URL. I double-checked. It was the Safe URL from the official Safe website. We always use the official website,&#8221; Zhou said.
He explained that as part of standard security measures, he verified the UI and destination address, ensuring it matched Bybit's warm wallet before approving the transfer. 
However, the actual signing message was altered, not to authorize a simple transfer, but instead to modify the smart contract logic of the cold wallet.
&#8220;The hacker changed that transaction into upgrading or changing the Safe smart contract logic so that he gained control over the entire Ethereum cold wallet,&#8221; Zhou revealed.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Extent of the Damage And Bybit's Response</h3>
The total stolen amount includes:
<ul>
<li>401,347 ETH ($1.12 billion)</li>
<li>90,376 stETH ($253 million)</li>
<li>15,000 cmETH ($44 million)</li>
<li>8,000 mETH ($23 million)</li>
</ul>
Despite the breach, Zhou assured users that withdrawals remain open, although processing times have increased due to a surge in requests. 
At the peak, Bybit was handling nearly 100 times the normal withdrawal volume. 
The exchange is currently relying on a bridge loan from partners to maintain liquidity while resolving the issue.
&#8220;We are not currently buying ETH. We secured almost 80% of the stolen amount as a bridge loan to maintain liquidity,&#8221; Zhou confirmed.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Investigating The Breach</h3>
Bybit is working closely with Safe's team to determine whether the attack stemmed from a vulnerability on Safe's end. 
Zhou stated that Safe has paused its services to conduct further internal investigations.
&#8220;It could be that the Safe server was hacked, but we don't know yet. We are actively working with Safe to uncover what happened,&#8221; Zhou said.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Tracking The Stolen Funds</h3>
Bybit has also received support from major exchanges such as Binance and MEXC and Gate which have pledged to help track and block the stolen assets. 
Zhou encouraged security firms and blockchain analysts to assist in monitoring the movement of funds in hopes of freezing the stolen Ethereum before it is laundered.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What's Next?</h3>
Bybit confirmed that it has the financial reserves to cover client losses, stating that the stolen Ethereum represents only a fraction of the exchange's total assets. 
The company also reiterated its commitment to security enhancements and will continue updating users as the investigation progresses.
