<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.

Here's How Much $100 Invested In American Financial Group 5 Years Ago Would Be Worth Today

On CNBC's &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/mad-money-lightning-round">Mad Money Lightning Round</a>,&#8221; Jim Cramer recommended buying American Financial Group (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AFG#NYSE">AFG</a>), saying he has always <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AFG/analyst-ratings">liked that stock</a>.

Analysts expect the company to report quarterly earnings at $2.07 per share, down from $2.76 per share in the year-ago period.
