<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Buffett's Letter</h4>
Please <a href="https://thearorareport.com/chart-analysis-stock-market-warren-buffett-cash-germany-independce-from-us-brkb-mc-02242025">click here</a> for an enlarged chart of Warren Buffett's company Berkshire Hathaway Inc Class B (BRK.B).
Note the following:
<ul>
<li>This article is about the big picture, not an individual stock.&nbsp; The chart of BRK.B is being used to illustrate the point.</li>
<li>Warren Buffett is the smartest investor of our time.&nbsp; Prudent investors eagerly await his annual letter.&nbsp; Here are the important points from Warren Buffett's letter to Berkshire Hathaway shareholders:
<ul>
<li>Cash reserves hit a record of $334.2B at the end of 2024.</li>
<li>Berkshire's holdings of publicly traded stocks fell to $272B at the end of 2024.</li>
<li>Berkshire sold stock worth $143.4B by the end of 2024.</li>
<li>Buffett wrote, "Often, nothing looks compelling; very infrequently we find ourselves knee-deep in opportunities."</li>
<li>Berkshire reported strong operating earnings.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>In The Arora Report analysis, the most important point for prudent investors from Buffett's letter is that he is now holding more cash than publicly traded stocks.&nbsp; Buffett's position is the equivalent of 55% in the protection band.&nbsp; As a reference, the top band of The Arora Report's protection band is 44%. In contrast, the momo crowd has a negative protection band because they are borrowing money to invest in stocks.&nbsp; This sets up the momo crowd for forced selling as they will get margin calls if the stock market drops.&nbsp; On the other hand, if the stock market continues to go up, the momo crowd will keep on buying.&nbsp;&nbsp;</li>
<li>In Friday's Morning Capsule, we wrote:</li>
</ul>
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">University of Michigan consumer sentiment will be 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.
</blockquote>
<ul>
<li>The stock market experienced a significant drop on the University of Michigan consumer sentiment data.&nbsp; Here are the key points:
<ul>
<li>Consumer sentiment came at 64.7 vs. 67.5 consensus.&nbsp; The reading was a 10% drop from January.</li>
<li>All five components of the index decreased.</li>
<li>The largest component drop was 19% in durables, mostly due to fears of price increases stemming from tariffs.</li>
<li>Inflation expectations increased to 4.3% from 3.3% in January.&nbsp; This is the highest reading since 2023.</li>
<li>The long term economic outlook dropped by 6%.&nbsp; This is the lowest reading since 2023.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>In The Arora Report analysis, the most important data point from the University of Michigan consumer sentiment is rising inflation expectations to 4.3%.&nbsp; The prospect of stagflation is real.&nbsp; A stagflationary environment is the worst scenario for investors' portfolios, short of extraordinary events.&nbsp;</li>
<li>This morning in the early trade, stocks are experiencing a reflex rally from Friday's selloff for two reasons:
<ul>
<li>Berkshire Hathaway reported strong operating earnings.</li>
<li>The usual momo guru pump over the weekend to persuade the momo crowd to buy stocks.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Germany</h4>
Exit polls indicate Friedrich Merz of the center-right Christian Democratic Union will be the next chancellor of Germany.&nbsp; Merz stated that his top priority is German independence from the U.S.&nbsp; He plans to strengthen Europe, particularly its defense capabilities.
At a time when U.S. defense stocks are coming under pressure, European defense stocks are rallying.  Depending upon how the government is formed in Germany, The Arora Report will give a signal on adding European defense stocks to the portfolios.  There may also be merit to adding European financial stocks.  As full disclosure, European financial ETF iShares MSCI Europe Financials ETF (EUFN) in The Arora Report&#8217;s ZYX Allocation Model Portfolio.
<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), NVIDIA Corp (NVDA), and Tesla Inc (TSLA).
In the early trade, money flows are negative 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>
The SEC has dropped crypto related charges against Robinhood Markets Inc (HOOD).  Last week, the SEC dropped charges against Coinbase Global Inc (COIN). 
In the largest crypto theft, hackers have stolen $1.5B from crypto exchange Bybit.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Bitcoin is range bound as a result of crosscurrents.
<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.

BMO Capital Maintains Market Perform on Ryerson Holding, Raises Price Target to $25

U.S. House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan (R-OH) on Sunday asked EU antitrust chief Teresa Ribera to clarify enforcement of the European Union&#8217;s regulations on Big Tech. Jordan also claimed the rules seem to target U.S. companies and give European<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43442520/strong-iphone-upgrades-ai-features-and-services-growth-fuel-apples-momentum-bofa-analyst-says"> companies an advantage. </a>
The Details: A letter sent by Jordan and Rep. Scott Fitzgerald (R-WI), chairman of the subcommittee on the administrative state, regulatory reform and antitrust, criticized the EU's Digital Markets Act which aims to regulate tech giants like Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), Alphabet, Inc.

(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>).

Jordan and Fitzgerald wrote in the letter seen by Reuters that the DMA regulations are burdensome to U.S.-based tech companies and give European companies an unfair advantage.&nbsp;
&#8220;We write to express our concerns that the DMA may target American companies,&#8221; Jordan and Fitzgerald stated.&nbsp;
The letter also criticized fines for DMA violations of up to 10% of global annual revenues. 
&#8220;These severe fines appear to have two goals: to compel businesses to follow European standards worldwide, and as a European tax on American companies,&#8221; Jordan and Fitzgerald said.
The congressmen urged Ribera to brief the House judiciary committee by March 10.
What Else: The move comes just two days after President Donald Trump signed a memorandum on Friday aimed at defending American companies from what he termed &#8220;overseas extortion.&#8221; 
The memo stated that U.S. &#8220;dominance is driven by cutting-edge American tech companies&#8221; and that foreign governments have taxed the success of US companies while having &#8220;failed to cultivate the economic success of their own.&#8221; 
Tech CEOs, including Meta&#8217;s Mark Zuckerberg, have spoken out against the EU antitrust regulations more forcefully since Trump has taken office. 
Zuckerberg recently appeared on &#8220;The Joe Rogan Experience&#8221; podcast, where <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42931941/mark-zuckerberg-critiques-culturally-neutered-companies-advocates-for-masculine-energy-as-meta-cuts-dei-programs-post-joe-rogan-appearance">he characterized </a>the past &#8220;10 years&#8221; of EU regulatory measures as &#8220;censorship&#8221; and said &#8220;the U.S. government has a role in basically defending [the U.S. tech industry] abroad.&#8221;

Palo Alto Networks's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PANW#NYSE">PANW</a>) short percent of float has fallen 8.99% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 22.41 million shares sold short, which is 3.44% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 3.91 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?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.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Palo Alto Networks has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Palo Alto Networks'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>, Palo Alto Networks's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 5.28%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

Peering Into Philip Morris Intl's Recent Short Interest

Coffee giant Starbucks Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SBUX#NASDAQ">SBUX</a>) shares are<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/movers" rel="noreferrer noopener"> trading higher</a> on Monday.

The company announced that it would eliminate 1,100 support roles, along with several hundred additional unfilled positions.
Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol recognized the challenges of the decision. The company stressed its dedication to assisting impacted employees, offering a thorough severance package that includes career transition support.

Trader Notes: In an <a href="https://x.com/TATrader_Alan/status/1893933905612542327">X</a> post on Monday, Trader Tardigrade remains optimistic, noting that Dogecoin is nearing the completion of its fourth falling wedge pattern—a historically bullish setup. 
The past breakouts from similar patterns resulted in a first gain of 88%, while the second one marked a 208% increase and the third one caused a 445% rally. If history repeats, he predicts another major breakout in the near future.
Statistics: Crypto chart analyst Ali Martinez <a href="https://x.com/ali_charts/status/1893745896380154083">highlighted</a> DOGE network activity dropped to its lowest level since October 2024. He marked 66 whale transactions and fewer than 60,000 active addresses per day.
Coinglass data shows $9.4 million liquidations in the past 24 hours, with long liquidations at $8.75 million.
Community News: In an X post on Saturday, Dogecoin Foundation Director Timothy Stebbing announced a five-year partnership with House of Doge, which will act as the official commercialization partner for Dogecoin. 
The key objectives of House of Doge will be to create a Dogecoin Reserve &amp; Treasury by aggregating mined DOGE. 
It will also provide liquidity to businesses and organizations integrating DOGE.

Dogecoin Drops 7% Despite Major Strategic Partnership: What's Happening?

Sun Communities, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SUI#NYSE">SUI</a>) shares are surging on Monday after the residential REIT company disclosed a definitive agreement to sell its entire interest in Safe Harbor Marinas to Blackstone&#8216;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BX#NYSE">BX</a>) Blackstone Infrastructure affiliates<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/02/g43912304/sun-communities-inc-announces-sale-of-safe-harbor-marinas-to-blackstone-infrastructure-in-an-all-c" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> in all-cash purchase of $5.65 billion</a>.
The purchase price reflects an approximate 21x multiple on Safe Harbor&#8217;s estimated 2024 Funds From Operations (FFO).
This transaction aligns with Sun's strategic focus on its core MH and RV segments, improving its financial flexibility and leverage profile.
The transaction is expected to generate approximately $5.5 billion in pre-tax proceeds after transaction costs.
Sun Communities plans to use the proceeds for debt reduction, shareholder distributions and reinvestment in the company's core businesses.
The transaction is subject to standard closing conditions, with the initial closing expected in the second quarter of 2025.
After the transaction, Sun&#8217;s North American MH and RV portfolio is expected to represent around 90% of the Company's Net Operating Income (NOI), streamlining its focus as a dedicated MH and RV owner and operator.
The transaction is set to significantly reduce Sun&#8217;s debt. Pro forma, the company expects its net debt to trailing 12-month EBITDA ratio to drop from approximately<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance"> 6.0x to between 2.5x and 3.0x upon closing</a>.
By reducing exposure to Service, Retail, Dining and Entertainment (SRD&amp;E) and other non-annual income sources, the transaction is expected to improve the company's margin profile, overhead efficiency, capital expenditure needs and revenue-to-cash flow conversion.
The deal will monetize a successful investment, generating strong returns for shareholders, with an estimated book gain of $1.3 billion from Sun's roughly four-year ownership of Safe Harbor.
&#8220;This transaction allows Sun to focus on our core businesses which operate at high margins and produce durable income streams, and we are confident they will continue to deliver strong, consistent long-term growth,&#8221; stated Jeff Blau, chair of Sun&#8217;s Capital Allocation Committee. 
Gary Shiffman, chairman and CEO of Sun, said, &#8220;We are very pleased with this transaction which further accelerates Sun&#8217;s strategy to improve the Company&#8217;s leverage profile and refocus on our core segments.&#8221;
&#8221;We anticipate that Blackstone will further Safe Harbor&#8217;s position as the leading marina and superyacht servicing business in the U.S.&#8221;
The company plans to release its fourth quarter and year-end earnings results after the market closes <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">on Wednesday, February 26, 2025</a>.&nbsp;
Investors can gain exposure to the stock via Nuveen Short-Term REIT ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NURE#BATS">NURE</a>) and Tidal ETF Trust Residential REIT ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HAUS#BATS">HAUS</a>)
Price Action: SUI shares are up 4.28% at $131.46 at the last check Monday.
