A recent <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&amp;v=d5MfEgRmnvQ">call</a> on The Ramsey Show featured a woman who <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/11/42044634/653125">opened up to Dave Ramsey</a>, admitting that despite filing for bankruptcy in 2019, she's back in debt again – to the tune of $118,000, excluding the mortgage – and her husband is completely unaware of the mess they're in.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Cost of Keeping up Appearances</h2>
&#8220;We are the poster child of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/08/40431868/dave-ramsey-warns-the-one-money-error-youre-making-that-could-derail-your-financial-future">trying to impress people</a>,&#8221; the caller confessed. After buying a new house, she felt pressured to fill it with &#8220;nice things,&#8221; but this urge spiraled into financial chaos, leading her to open a staggering 18 credit cards to fund the lifestyle she thought they needed to maintain.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">Jo and her husband filed bankruptcy five years ago. Now Jo has opened up 18 credit cards and is back in $118,000 of debt, and her husband is not involved in their finances.

Her husband, who earns $35,000 a year, has no idea about their <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/08/40512938/dave-ramseys-blunt-advice-your-finances-are-80-behavior-avoid-this-one-costly-mistake">financial issues</a> because, as she explained, &#8220;He doesn&#8217;t even have access [to our finances].&#8221; She takes home $125,000 annually, plus another $15,000 from a side hustle, yet her spending habits have left them drowning in debt – all because of a desire to project an image of success.
The caller revealed that the $118,000 in debt was spread across various sources. She owes $1,300 to the IRS and $9,500 is tied up in "pay in 4" payment plans like PayPal (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PYPL#NASDAQ">PYPL</a>) and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/02/37357053/openai-backed-swedish-bnpl-company-klarnas-ai-bot-cuts-repeat-queries-by-25-boosting-profits-by-40m">Klarna</a>. The biggest portion of the debt –$116,000 – comes from online personal loans through <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/prosper-review">platforms like Prosper</a>. On top of that, they have a $40,000 car loan and $5,500 in credit card balances.

This complicated mix of debt sources shows how far the situation has spiraled out of control. The buildup of loans, payment plans and credit lines has resulted in an impossible financial mess. The car loan by itself is already a big problem and with all the high-interest loans and credit card debt added on top, it&#8217;s really hard for them to make any progress without making big changes.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Wake-Up Call</h2>
Like always, Ramsey didn&#8217;t sugarcoat his advice. &#8220;You&#8217;re not going to be free or heal by yourself,&#8221; he told her. The key, according to Ramsey, is teamwork. &#8220;We need two things relationally: one is you go to him and say, &#8216;Honey, we&#8217;re in a mess – again – because I didn&#8217;t say no and you weren&#8217;t involved.'&#8221;
The caller admitted that her spending habits were deeply connected to her need for validation, saying, &#8220;It comes from my childhood,&#8221; but that didn&#8217;t sway Ramsey, who responded with his signature tough love: &#8220;You&#8217;re too dead gum old and rich income-wise to act like a 14-year-old girl that needs affirmation. It&#8217;s time to be a grown woman.&#8221;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Plan to Move Forward</h2>
To get out of this financial hole, Ramsey laid out a clear but intense plan: They need to budget every month together, sell everything that isn't necessary and dramatically cut their lifestyle. &#8220;Sell everything, everything not tied down,&#8221; he said. The goal is to adopt what Ramsey called &#8220;scorched earth&#8221; living for 18 months – essentially, to live as frugally as possible and funnel every available dollar toward paying off the debt.
One of the biggest takeaways was the importance of not trying to impress others. According to Ramsey, affluent people frequently get to the point where they &#8220;don't give a crap what anybody thinks.&#8221; And for this caller, ending the debt cycle requires learning to disregard the opinions of others. &#8220;You've got to practice not having nice stuff and have people see you,&#8221; added co-host Dr. John Delony, encouraging her to confront her fears about appearances.

They also said Trump's presidency could lead to a decline in geopolitical tensions.
For European nations, lower oil prices will help spur economic growth and keep prices in check, allowing for lower interest rates and higher capital investments.&nbsp;After the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Europe experienced an "<a href="https://www.ecb.europa.eu/press/blog/date/2024/html/ecb.blog240311~968c707650.en.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">extraordinary surge</a>" in inflation.

Europe has struggled to recover from the twin shocks of Covid-19 and the war in Ukraine.

"The growth outlook is clouded by uncertainty about economic policies and the geopolitical landscape."&nbsp;
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Trump May Spur European Leaders Into Action</h3>
Trump's mandate for change after winning the election could influence European leaders to alter course.

Like their American counterparts, many <a href="https://europeancapitalinsights.substack.com/p/eu-tilts-right-as-economy-migration?r=3nmatg" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">European voters are frustrated</a> with their economic prospects and political leadership. They are <a href="https://europeancapitalinsights.substack.com/p/europe-frets-about-trump-presidency?r=3nmatg" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">concerned about geopolitical instability</a> impacting Europe with the war in Ukraine and tensions in the Middle East.&nbsp;
Trump's "peace through strength" policy had successfully fostered stability in Europe and the Middle East. <a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.aa.com.tr/en/energy/energy-diplomacy/trump-hails-record-of-no-new-wars-while-in-office/31647">His supporters point to</a> the fact there were no new wars during his last administration.&nbsp;
Under President Joe Biden, through, Europe witnessed the Russian invasion of Ukraine and an escalation in tensions between Iran and Israel. The latest US policy shift by the outgoing president on Ukraine has also caused jitters in global markets.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">European Markets Fall After US Shifts Ukraine Policy</h3>

After Biden's decision to allow Ukraine to target sites within Russia, <a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cj4v0rey0jzo">Vladimir Putin approved changes</a> to Russia's nuclear doctrine. The doctrine now says an attack from a non-nuclear state, if backed by a nuclear power, will be treated as a joint assault on Russia.
In Washington, lawmakers in both parties generally supported Biden's policy change. "In a month-and-a-half, you're going to have a new president, and Russia will probably sue for peace," Rep. Rich McCormick (R-Ga.) said. "So let them defend themselves, punch Russia back in the face."&nbsp;&nbsp;
That show of support for Ukraine may reassure European politicians fretting about the new Trump administration.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Europe Concerns About Trump's Ukraine Policy ‘Unrealistic'</h3>
German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock has expressed concern about <a href="https://www.dw.com/en/prospect-of-trumps-return-stokes-anxiety-in-europe/a-69686356" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Trump&#8217;s unwillingness to support Ukraine</a>.

"You probably can't simply retreat from Ukraine without it just <a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://youtu.be/wwJV_NuN43Y?si=_Acn9qUqGsyJbNuO">becoming a route</a>," he said on November 14. "I don't think President Trump wants a repeat of what happened with Biden in Afghanistan."
Thiel was referring to the Biden administration's "<a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2023/06/30/politics/state-deparment-afghanistan-withdrawal-report/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">chaotic</a>" 2021 withdrawal, widely perceived as a major US foreign policy failure.&nbsp;&nbsp;

This would be accompanied by US security guarantees, in exchange for temporary deferment of full Ukrainian NATO membership.&nbsp;&nbsp;
During Trump's first term, he pressured European North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) members to increase their defense spending to 2% of GDP. In 2017, only four NATO members had reached the alliance&#8217;s target, compared to the 23 expected this year.&nbsp;

PayPal Announced A New Experience That Makes It Easy For Customers To Pool Money With Friends And Family For Group Gifts, Travel, Special Events, Or Other Shared Expenses

E-commerce platform company Shopify Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHOP#NYSE">SHOP</a>) is hitting new 52-week highs ahead of third-quarter financial results set for Tuesday, Nov. 12<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings"> before the market opens.</a>
Here's a look at the earnings estimates from analysts and key items for investors and analysts to watch in the financial results.
Earnings Estimates: Analysts expect Shopify to report third-quarter revenue of $2.11 billion, up from $1.71 billion in last year's third quarter, according to data<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/?utm_source=BZprocontent111124&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1"> from Benzinga Pro.</a>
The company has beaten analyst estimates for revenue in seven straight quarters. The $2.11 billion estimate would be the company's second-largest total ever, trailing only the 2023 fourth-quarter total of $2.14 billion.
Analysts expect the company to report quarterly earnings per share of 27 cents, up from 24 cents per share in last year's third quarter. The company has beaten analyst estimates for earnings per share in eight straight quarters.
Guidance<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40268815/shopify-surges-in-q2-analysts-adjust-ratings-and-targets-citing-strong-growth-potential"> from the company</a> calls for revenue to be up low-to-mid 20s percentage rate on a year-over-year basis, which translates to a range of $2.06 billion to $2.16 billion based on 20% to 26% growth.

Key Items to Watch: Among the biggest items investors will be watching is Shopify's gross merchandise volume (GMV). In the second quarter, the company reported GMV of $67.2 billion, up 22% year-over-year and a company record.
The company also reported several other double-digit year-over-year increases in the second quarter including gross payments volume up 22% to $67.2 billion and merchant solutions revenue up 19% to $1.5 billion.
Analysts and investors will be looking for continued year-over-year growth and GMV to hit or come close to company records.
"We drove strong growth in GMV, revenue and gross profit, all amidst a mixed consumer spend environment, continued to take share and concurrently expanded our free cash flow margin," Shopify CFO Jeff Hoffmeister said after third-quarter results.
Another item to watch could be margins with Shopify President Harley Finkelstein saying on the company's second-quarter earnings conference call that Shopify was investing in marketing to help with revenue growth. Finkelstein said the marketing investments could impact profit margins.
"We've always been a company that builds for the long term," Finkelstein said. "We can achieve a seriously meaningful combination of growth and profitability."
Partnerships could be another area to watch in the earnings report and company commentary on the earnings call.
In September, PayPal Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PYPL#NASDAQ">PYPL</a>) announced it was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/09/40776318/paypal-expands-role-in-shopify-payments-whats-on-the-cards">expanding its strategic partnership </a>with Shopify. The deal will see PayPal become an additional credit and debit card processor on the Shopify Payments platform.
The partnership could increase the growth opportunities for Shopify merchants.
Analysts have been raising their price targets on Shopify in recent weeks. Here are recent <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/SHOP/analyst-ratings">analyst ratings on Shopify</a> and their price target:
<ul>
<li>Scotiabank: Maintained Sector Perform rating and raised the price target from $75 to $80</li>
<li>RBC Capital: Maintained Outperform rating and raised the price target from $85 to $100</li>
<li>Loop Capital: Maintained Hold rating and raised the price target from $80 to $90</li>
</ul>
Investors will be closely watching to see if analysts continue raising price targets after the company's third-quarter financial results.
SHOP Price Action: Shopify stock is up 3.47% to $90.14 on Monday. The stock hit a new 52-week high of $92.16 in early trading and shares have now traded between $48.56 and $92.16 over the past 52 weeks. Shopify stock is up 24.3% year-to-date.

Looking At PayPal Holdings's Recent Unusual Options Activity

The stock market indexes have enjoyed record highs in recent years with the S&amp;P 500 outperforming other years with President&nbsp;Joe Biden&nbsp;leading the country for the last&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/24/02/37275812/if-you-invested-in-the-s-p-500-when-joe-biden-became-president-heres-how-much-youd-have-today" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">nearly four years.</a>
Not all stocks went up with Biden in office and investors may want to take a look back at the worst performing stocks of 2021 to prepare themselves for what could be ahead with the 2024 election nearing.
What Happened:&nbsp;Biden stepped down from&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/2024-election" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the 2024 presidential election&nbsp;</a>earlier this year. While the current president won&#8217;t be re-elected to the White House, past performance with a Democrat as president could highlight which stocks and sectors could be winners if&nbsp;Kamala Harris&nbsp;is victorious in Tuesday&#8217;s election.
The S&amp;P 500, which is tracked by the&nbsp;SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>),&nbsp;was up 26.9% in 2021. This marked the best yearly performance since 2018 and the second-best performance for the key stock market index in the last 11 years.
The 12 months following Election Day 2020, which was won by Biden,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/22/01/25137004/biden-vs-trump-how-did-stock-market-returns-compare-after-their-first-year-as-president" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">saw the S&amp;P 500 gain 37.4%.</a>&nbsp;This was the best one-year market return under a president in many years.
While many stocks were up in 2021, not all of the publicly traded companies had positive returns on the year.
Here were the 10 best-performing S&amp;P 500 stocks in 2021, according to a <a href="https://www.statmuse.com/money/ask/worst-performing-stocks-in-2021-in-the-s-and-p-500" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">report </a>from StatMuse, and their sectors.

Why It&#8217;s Important: Click through&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/10/41584466/these-10-stocks-were-the-best-s-p-500-performers-in-2017-when-trump-was-president-will-history-r" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">to see the 10 best</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/10/41606114/10-s-p-500-stocks-were-worst-performers-in-first-year-of-trumps-presidency-will-they-sink-again" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">10 worst-performing</a>&nbsp;S&amp;P 500 stocks of 2017,&nbsp;Donald Trump&#8216;s first year in the White House.
What's interesting for investors could be the correlation for some stocks based on who was in the White House.
Wynn Resorts was the fourth best performing stock in the S&amp;P 500 in 2017 under Trump, but was an underperformer in 2021 under Biden. PayPal was the eighth best performing stock in the S&amp;P 500 in 2017, but was an underperformer in 2021.
The results above could show that financials and casino stocks could be underperformers if Harris wins the presidency based on the past results and Democratic Party leadership.
With less than one week until the 2024 election, investors are likely positioning their portfolio based on a Trump or&nbsp;Harris&nbsp;victory in some regards. With a close election predicted, investors may want to look to sectors that could benefit under either candidate.
Freedom Capital Markets&nbsp;Chief Global Strategist&nbsp;Jay Woods&nbsp;previously<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/sector-etfs/24/08/40515453/exclusive-trump-or-harris-12-stocks-2-etfs-could-win-no-matter-whos-president-says-market-strate" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">&nbsp;shared some sectors&nbsp;</a>and stocks to watch with Benzinga that could benefit regardless of whether Trump or Harris wins the 2024 election.
Woods named defense stocks and cybersecurity stocks as two of the top sectors to watch ahead of the 2024 election.
"I think you've got to watch this sector closely," Woods said of the defense sector.
Woods added that defense stocks could continue to benefit from geopolitical concerns and the world&#8217;s many adverse events.

PayPal Holdings shares are trading lower after Phillip Securities downgraded the stock from Buy to Accumulate.

PayPal Holdings's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PYPL#NYSE">PYPL</a>) short percent of float has risen 4.41% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 24.22 million shares sold short, which is 2.37% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.84 days to cover their short positions on average.
<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>PayPal Holdings Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1730478613_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for PayPal Holdings has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing PayPal Holdings'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>, PayPal Holdings's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 5.50%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze/">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

PayPal Holdings, Inc.（NASDAQ：PYPL）の株は、上回る出来高で上昇し、先週にもほぼ8％の利益を上げました。こちらが<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/PYPL/analyst-ratings">今週の動き</a>です。
投資家が知っておくべきこと 重要ポイント： 企業固有の動きがないにも関わらず、PayPalの株は大きく上昇し、先週からの利益を上げました。
100日間の過程でのPayPalの平均セッションの出来高は約1198万ですが、先週木曜日の出来高は2100万を超え、Benzinga Proによると、同日の株の動きには理由がありそうです。 木曜日、トレーダーたちが上昇の勢いの背後にある触媒を探している間、この株は様々なソーシャルプラットフォームを賑わせていました。
今週この株に影響を与えている可能性のある出来事の一つは、6月20日から有効になる会社の副社長兼最高会計責任者としてのChristopher Natali氏の任命を発表した月曜日のことです。 Natali氏はこれまでにAlteryx, Inc.とHewlett Packard Enterpriseなどで主要な財務職を務めた経験を持っています。
また、4月末にPayPalが第1四半期決算を発表して以来、複数のアナリストからはより前向きな評価も出始めています。最近では、New Street ResearchのアナリストであるSoomit Datta氏がPayPalをBuyの格付けと80ドルの目標株価でカバリッジを開始しました。 MizuhoのアナリストであるDan Dolev氏も先週、PayPalの格付けをNeutralからBuyに引き上げ、目標株価を68ドルから90ドルに引き上げました。
PayPalの決算は再び報告されるのは7月の最後になる予定です。Benzinga Proの調査によると、アナリストは同社の1株当たりの利益が98セント、売上高が78.85億ドルになると予想しています。
