<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.

Mike Wilson, Morgan Stanley's chief investment officer, has some advice for anyone looking to advance in their career: Take risks. Be bold. And don't fear being wrong.
"You've got to be willing to take a stand on stuff," Wilson told Business Insider. "Whether it's in a meeting, with people you report to or pointing out things you don't agree with, kind of making a firm stance."
But here's the kicker: Wilson believes real success comes from doing what most people won't – betting against the crowd.

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why Contrarian Views Pay Off</h2>
Wilson says taking "personal risk" is where you can find real rewards, especially on Wall Street. The real money is made with "contrarian views," he explained. But it's not always easy and involves "accepting the idea that you're going to be wrong along the way," he said. "Ultimately, how you deal with those consequences will determine whether you're successful or not."
In short: Play it safe and you'll miss the big wins.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Betting On Yourself</h2>
Wilson isn't just throwing out motivational sound bites. He's talking about taking risks that others shy away from. For him, being wrong occasionally is just part of the process.

The key is to stick to your convictions, even if it feels uncomfortable. "On Wall Street, personal risk often means taking contrarian views," he added.
That advice doesn't just apply to Wall Street, though. It's a mindset anyone can use to advance their career or investments.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Learn From The Best</h2>
Wilson isn't the only one offering top-tier advice. Wall Street heavyweights like David Kostin of Goldman Sachs, BlackRock's Rick Rieder and Bloomberg's Anna Wong have also contributed.
Kostin's advice? Show up. "I can't imagine how a young person is going to actually absorb all the dimensionality of what's happening … and not be in the office," he said.
Rieder, meanwhile, suggests focusing on the future. "The world's changing faster than anybody really recognizes," he explained.
And Wong encourages curiosity: "Constantly being curious, even if there might not be an obvious payoff to it."

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Takeaway</h2>
Wilson's advice is to Take a chance, go against the grain, be prepared to fail and not let that stop you.
For those willing to embrace risk, the personal and financial rewards could be worth it. As Wilson put it, personal risk often means being a contrarian.

Forrester Research Announced 6% Workforce Reduction, Expects Pre-Tax Expenses $5.2M-$5.6M

Bank of America Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>) will release earnings for its fourth quarter, before the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/BAC/earnings">opening bell on Thursday, Jan. 16.</a>
Analysts expect the Charlotte, North Carolina-based company to report quarterly earnings at 77 cents per share. That&#8217;s up from 35 cents per share in the year-ago period. According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>, Bank of America projects quarterly revenue of $25.09 billion, compared to $21.96 billion a year earlier.
On Jan. 7, UBS analyst Erika Najarian upgraded Bank of America from Neutral to Buy and announced a $53 price target.
With the recent buzz around Bank of America, some investors may be eyeing potential gains from the company's dividends too. Bank of America currently offers an annual dividend yield of 2.25%, or a quarterly dividend of 26 cents per share ($1.04 a year).
To figure out how to earn $500 monthly from Bank of America, we start with the yearly target of $6,000 ($500 x 12 months).
Next, we take this amount and divide it by Bank of America's $1.04 dividend: $6,000 / $1.04 = 5,769 shares.
So, an investor would need to own approximately $266,585 worth of Bank of America, or 5,769 shares to generate a monthly dividend income of $500.
Assuming a more conservative goal of $100 monthly ($1,200 annually), we do the same calculation: $1,200 / $1.04 = 1,154 shares, or $53,326 to generate a monthly dividend income of $100.
Note that dividend yield can change on a rolling basis, as the dividend payment and the stock price both fluctuate over time.
The dividend yield is calculated by dividing the annual dividend payment by the current stock price. As the stock price changes, the dividend yield will also change.
For example, if a stock pays an annual dividend of $2 and its current price is $50, its dividend yield would be 4%. However, if the stock price increases to $60, the dividend yield would decrease to 3.33% ($2/$60).
Conversely, if the stock price decreases to $40, the dividend yield would increase to 5% ($2/$40).
Further, the dividend payment itself can also change over time, which can also impact the dividend yield. If a company increases its dividend payment, the dividend yield will increase even if the stock price remains the same. Similarly, if a company decreases its dividend payment, the dividend yield will decrease.
BAC Price Action: Shares of Bank of America gained by 0.3% to close at $46.21 on Wednesday.

Village Farms Challenges DEA's Role in Cannabis Rescheduling

The AgTech industry is transforming the agricultural landscape with innovations to boost productivity and sustainability. Given this backdrop, consider keeping an eye on agricultural technology stocks like Deere & Co. (DE), Corteva (CTVA), and Village Farms International (VFF). Read more… The agricultural technology (AgTech) sector is revolutionizing food production by integrating cutting-edge technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), robotics, and precision farming. Leveraging AI, robotics, and data analytics, these firms are addressing global challenges like climate change and resource shortages.
Below, I have highlighted three agricultural technology firms: Deere &amp; Company (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/DE/">DE</a>), Corteva, Inc. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/CTVA/">CTVA</a>), and Village Farms International, Inc. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/VFF/">VFF</a>), which are well-positioned to capture the opportunity to enhance food production.
Under the Biden-Harris administration, the <a href="https://www.usda.gov/media/press-releases/2024/10/30/biden-harris-administration-makes-investments-strengthen-american">U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)</a> announced it would strengthen American farms and expand innovative domestic fertilizer production by awarding over $120 million to fund six fertilizer production projects.
Precision agriculture has gained traction, allowing farmers to monitor crop health and soil conditions with tools like sensors and drones. These technologies help minimize waste and maximize yields. <a href="https://www.gao.gov/products/gao-24-105962">Federal agencies support such innovations</a> and have implemented a conservation benefit for implementing such practices over the last few years.
The worldwide AgTech market is anticipated to reach <a href="https://explodingtopics.com/blog/agtech-market">$74.03 billion by 2034</a>, growing at a CAGR of 12.2%. Also, with sustainable agriculture becoming a global priority, these companies are positioned to benefit from long-term growth trends, providing solutions that address both economic and environmental challenges.
With that in mind, let's dig deeper into the fundamentals of the above-mentioned AgTech stocks in detail:
Deere &amp; Company (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/DE/">DE</a>)
DE engages in the manufacture and distribution of various equipment worldwide. The company operates through four segments: Production and Precision Agriculture; Small Agriculture and Turf; Construction and Forestry; and Financial Services. 
On October 23, DE introduced its next generation of SmartGrade technology on the 450, 550, and 650 P-Tier Small Dozers. This new technology rollout enables seamless upgradeability and also serves as a more enhanced management solution.
In the same month, DE announced an expansion to its Agriculture &amp; Turf training center and field site. This development supports both service and sales training and is viewed as an investment that advances the company's commitment to customer success through the support of John Deere's world-class dealer channel. 
DE's total <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/r/revenue.asp">revenue</a> for the fourth quarter (ended October 27, 2024) amounted to $11.14 billion. The company's attributable net income came in at $1.25 billion and $4.55 per share.
Analysts expect DE's revenue for the first quarter (ending January 2025) to decline 32.9% year-over-year to $8.83 billion. However, the consensus EPS estimate of $3.93 for the same period indicates a 52.8% year-over-year decline.
Over the past nine months, the stock has surged 12.3%, closing the last trading session at $412.
DE's stance is apparent in its <a href="https://stocknews.com/powr-ratings/">POWR Ratings</a>. The stock has a B grade for Momentum. The POWR Ratings are calculated by considering 118 different factors, each weighted to an optimal degree.
