Many children look forward to summer getting started. After nine months of sitting at desks, writing notes, and taking exams, they're ready for a more flexible schedule. However, these summer vacations are stressful for many parents. They have to plan camp trips and keep their children busy while juggling full-time work.
This concern recently made its way into the HENRY Finance Reddit community. This group is filled with high earners who aren't rich yet, and many of them explained how challenging it is to <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/HENRYfinance/comments/1lk7qrt/working_parents_and_summers_is_the_world_against/">take care of the kids during summer</a>.
"The world is set up against families with two working parents," the original poster mentioned.

</ul>
The couple, with one of the spouses being the original poster, earns a combined $260,000 per year. They have a 3-year-old in daycare and a 6-year-old in a summer program that has been disappointing so far. Other Redditors shared their experiences with raising children during the summer and how they are navigating the current environment.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Try Gyms</h2>
One of the top comments came from a Redditor who encouraged the community to give gyms a try. Many gyms have activities for children and offer structured activities. The commenter specifically mentioned two gyms that offer a wide range of activities.
"Both the YMCA and Lifetime Fitness do full summer camps with drop-off and pick-up flexibility. All day programming, but time by the pool, weekly fieldtrips, etc."
If you work out at the gym each day, you may want to take your kids with you during some of those days. That way, they're getting in good exercise, which will let them use their energy early in the day.&nbsp;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Create Structure</h2>
Many Redditors emphasized the value of creating structure in your children's schedules. Some parents were stay-at-home moms until they saw it was too hard for them to commit to structured schedules for their children at a consistent rate.&nbsp;
It's also an uphill battle since many parents in the neighborhood may also have their kids in a summer camp. This trend plays out in many areas, and it gives parents fewer options for their kids if they don't want to embark on a summer program.
"We would all be miserable with an extended period of no structure," one Redditor stated. Another person commented right under that post in agreement.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Prioritize Correctly</h2>
While you have to work to put food on the table, you don't want to overdo it either. It makes more sense to work extra hours and pursue every good opportunity when you are single, but the dynamic shifts for many people when they become adults. One Redditor summed this trend up nicely.
"Make sure you are spending time wisely at work and not just working for work&#8217;s sake. Cut back rigorously on [stuff] that doesn't matter. When I had no kids, I put in 60 hours regularly; as a parent, I put in 35-45, depending on the situation. My performance reviews never got worse."
The original poster responded to the comments with some thoughts and a career journey that encapsulates many individuals who are grappling between their work and being present for their children.
"My current work is actually closing in the middle of July. And I&#8217;ve already lined something else up, but it&#8217;s gonna take a little [time] to be credentialed, and so I am going to pull the kids from everything and spend some nice weeks with them at home. But the new job is definitely gonna be longer hours at first. But, it&#8217;s also good for the career. But, I don&#8217;t want to forget what&#8217;s important for sure."

'The World Is Set Up Against Families With Two Working Parents' – A Couple Earning $260,000 Per Year Shares Their Struggle With Summer Camps

Arkadiy Amiryan, Chief Operating Officer of Veles Finance, challenged the idea that user-friendly crypto trading bots are responsible for flash crashes or amplifying herd behavior in the digital asset market. 
Instead, he pointed to social media hype and high-profile endorsements as the primary drivers of sudden price swings, emphasizing that bots alone do not destabilize the market. 
"In my opinion, cryptocurrency market crashes happen due to loud and sometimes reckless statements from the most popular people," Amiryan told Benzinga in an interview. "Someone says or writes something in X—and then we see a rapid fall of some project. This looks like unfair play."
He emphasized that scams and speculative tokens, rather than automated strategies, pose the more immediate threat to market stability.
Amiryan highlighted that trading bots, like those offered by Veles Finance, are neutral tools that execute predefined strategies without emotional bias. 
&#8220;Bots don't suffer from FOMO, but the blind spot is always risk management. If users fail to set proper safeguards, that's where problems can arise,&#8221; he said.
Founded in 2022 and based in Dubai, Veles Finance provides a no-code, cloud-native platform enabling both novice and advanced traders to deploy customized automated trading strategies across leading exchanges such as Binance, Bybit, and OKX. 
Veles currently supports over 49,000 traders, with $418 million in total bot deposits and over $79 million in cumulative user profits.
Veles Finance on Thursday expanded its reach through a strategic partnership with cryptocurrency exchange Bitget, integrating its automated trading bots into the Bitget platform. 
This collaboration gives Bitget's global user base direct access to Veles's customizable bots across both spot and futures markets.

Amiryan acknowledged the growing accessibility of trading bots, thanks to user-friendly platforms like Veles, but stressed the company's focus on responsible trading. 
&#8220;We always educate our users about risk management. Trading bots are powerful, but users must understand their strategies and market conditions to avoid unnecessary exposure,&#8221; he said.
The Bitget-Veles partnership also provides users with advanced risk management features, including dynamic stop-losses, multi-take profits, and trailing profit mechanisms. 
Veles's professional-grade backtesting engine further allows users to refine strategies using historical market data before committing capital.
As automated crypto trading continues to grow, Amiryan emphasized that scalability will not come at the cost of user-centricity. 
&#8220;Our priority is always our users. Without them, we cannot grow. As we scale, we'll keep improving user experience, ensuring that customization and control remain at the core of our product.&#8221;
Industry participants like Amiryan believe that while algorithmic trading may introduce efficiencies, the key to navigating crypto's inherent volatility lies in robust education, risk awareness, and strategic execution, not the abandonment of automation.

The Surprising Factor Behind Crypto Flash Crashes—And It's Not Trading Bots

Forget apple pie and fireworks—Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) just pulled off the most explosive <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/07/46257412/is-the-market-open-on-july-4th-everything-you-need-to-know">Fourth of July</a> in history, hitting $109,433 during the day. That's not just a milestone, it's a monument.
Back in 2012, a Bitcoin cost you seven bucks and some hope, noted a <a href="https://x.com/DocumentingBTC/status/1941085985472954766">post</a> on X. In 2016, it was cheaper than a tank of gas. 
Now? It could buy you a Tesla Model 3 (costs around $44k to $56K in the U.S.) and still leave enough for a long weekend in Miami.

Bitcoin didn't just beat inflation—it obliterated every traditional asset class over a decade. The 10-year CAGR from 2015 to 2025? Over 100% annually. Show us another Fourth of July tradition with returns like that.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Investor Angle: Is This Still The Beginning?</h2>
With talk of a U.S. Bitcoin strategic reserve heating up and ETF flows keeping crypto flush, Bitcoin's legitimacy is no longer in question. What is up for debate is valuation—can the rally continue from here?
Crypto-native plays like Coinbase Global Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>) and miners like MARA Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MARA#NASDAQ">MARA</a>) are already riding the fireworks. But even conservative investors are quietly allocating to Bitcoin via regulated ETFs, betting this Fourth of July trend still has legs.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">BTC: Earnings Every Year</h2>
America celebrates independence once a year. Bitcoin's been earning it every year. From $0.01 in 2010 to over $100K in 2025, it's become the most relentless freedom trade of our time.
This Fourth of July, Bitcoin didn't just party—it planted a flag.

Bitcoin's 4th Of July Boom: Enough For A Tesla And A Tan

A recent Reddit <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/Salary/comments/1lo6qma/is_reaching_100kyear_in_the_us_easy_i_guess_it/">thread</a> lit up with debate after a person claimed that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/02/43895999/making-over-100000-a-year-heres-how-big-your-retirement-nest-egg-should-be-in-your-40s-50s-and-60s-if-you-want-to-retire-rich">earning $100,000 a year</a> in the U.S. is &#8220;easy&#8221; if you follow a clear path and put in the work. The poster, who identified themselves as an IT project manager making $150,000 annually, said the blueprint is there for anyone willing to sacrifice and stay consistent.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Clear Path, Not Effortless</h2>
&#8220;Blows my mind how many people line up to argue with me every time I say that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/topics/25/06/46044025/earning-more-than-100000-feels-like-a-dream-to-many-but-when-you-look-closer-some-of-these-jobs-arent-as-difficult-as-youd-think">earning $100k per year</a> in the US is easy,&#8221; wrote the original poster. &#8220;Now, does it require you getting off your ass and doing more than working fast food? Absolutely. Will anyone hand you a $100K/year job with little or no effort on your part? Nope. Nor should they.&#8221;

</ul>
According to them, the &#8220;easy&#8221; part isn&#8217;t about lack of effort; it&#8217;s that there are many well-documented ways to get there. Whether it&#8217;s engineering, trades, or IT, the steps are no longer a mystery.
&#8220;You still need to do your part,&#8221; they wrote. &#8220;And ‘doing your part' often requires multiple years of sacrifice: Doing real, actual learning, and doing things that make you uncomfortable.&#8221;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Simple, But Not Easy</h2>
Many commenters pushed back, saying the word &#8220;easy&#8221; ignores how much effort and privilege it can take. One person summed it up by saying, &#8220;Figuring out how to make $100K is simple. Actually doing it is hard, not easy.&#8221;
Another added, &#8220;I guess I would word it as &#8216;easily achievable with a lot of effort and good decision making.'&#8221;
Some pointed out that location, field, and upbringing play a huge role.&nbsp;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Opportunity Isn't Equal</h2>
The original poster acknowledged that where you live matters, but argued that many people can move or train for remote jobs, especially post-COVID. &#8220;To those with drive and vision… they leave town, learn a skill or a trade, come back home, work in the small hospital here or become electricians, plumbers, etc.&#8221;
Still, others emphasized systemic barriers, noting that not everyone has the support system or the luxury to fail and bounce back. &#8220;Imagine trying to get a job while homeless. How do you appear? How do you act with a lack of sleep or safety?&#8221;
One particularly upvoted comment noted, &#8220;People value different things. Some of the smartest people I've met don't care about making more money. They want <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/12/42301100/most-americans-dont-see-wealth-as-the-key-to-financial-success-heres-what-matters-more-to-59-of-them">free time and a fulfilled life</a>.&#8221;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Matter Of Definition</h2>
While the debate over semantics continued, one thing became obvious: most agreed that making six figures in the U.S. is possible, but not easy.
&#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/01/43403375/58-of-people-say-100000-a-year-is-the-bare-minimum-to-avoid-the-financial-stress-of-daily-life-heres-how-many-actually-earn-this">$100K/year isn't magic</a>,&#8221; a person said. &#8220;But it is accessible to most people in the U.S. who are able to stay consistent, strategic, and willing to endure discomfort in the short term. The game is winnable. But you still have to play.&#8221;

Is Earning $100K/Year In The U.S. 'Easy?' A Project Manager Says It Requires 'Getting Off Your Ass And Doing More Than Working Fast Food'

Prestige Consumer's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PBH#NYSE">PBH</a>) short percent of float has fallen 9.48% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 1.66 million shares sold short, which is 4.87% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 6.32 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.

A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure.

According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Prestige Consumer's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 3.54%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.

The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
ExlService Hldgs has a better P/E ratio of 33.83 than the aggregate P/E ratio of 29.42 of the Professional Services industry. Ideally, one might believe that ExlService Hldgs Inc. might perform better in the future than it's industry group, but it's probable that the stock is overvalued.

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.

A Look Into ExlService Hldgs Inc's Price Over Earnings

Billionaire Bill Gates is worth $175 billion today and helped transform the tech industry by<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/09/40982632/bill-gates-says-if-he-started-microsoft-today-hed-focus-on-this-industry-instead"> co-founding Microsoft.</a> Things could have looked a lot different if Gates didn't fix a bad habit along the way. While an undergraduate student at Harvard University, Gates has a bad habit of procrastinating.
&#8220;I liked to show people that I didn&#8217;t do any work, and that I didn&#8217;t go to classes and I didn&#8217;t care,&#8221; Gates said in a 2005 Q&amp;A session with&nbsp;Warren Buffett,&nbsp;as&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2018/03/16/bill-gates-quit-this-bad-habit-before-he-became-successful.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported</a>&nbsp;by CNBC.
Gates said he would prepare for tests at the last minute.
&#8220;People thought that was funny. That was my positioning: the guy who did nothing until the last minute.&#8221;
You may not be a billionaire like Bill Gates, but you can uncover hidden gems in the stock market using our proprietary data and pattern recognition —&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/long-ideas/25/06/46157351/benzingas-stock-whisper-index-5-stocks-investors-secretly-monitor-but-dont-talk-about-yet-71" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">check out five stocks flying under the radar that deserve your attention.</a>
Gates recalled the need to break this &#8220;very bad habit&#8221; when he entered the business world. The billionaire dropped out of Harvard after two years.
&#8220;When I went into business that was a really bad habit and it took me a couple years to get over that.&#8221;
Gates acknowledged that while procrastination might have seemed like a cool character trait in college, it quickly became a liability in the business world, where last-minute work is generally frowned upon.
&#8220;Nobody praised me because I would do things at the last minute.&#8221;
Gates said in the business world, he worked hard to reverse course and tried to emulate the students at Harvard &#8220;who were always organized and had things done on time.&#8221;
While he was able to get rid of the bad habit, Gates confessed in the 2005 interview that he still hadn&#8217;t fully learned not to put things off.
&#8220;I&#8217;m still working on it, but procrastination is not a good habit.&#8221;

10 Information Technology Stocks Whale Activity In Today's Session

Zohran Mamdani, fresh off a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46162859/trump-threatens-to-cut-federal-funding-for-nyc-if-zohran-mamdani-doesnt-do-the-right-thing-as-future-mayor-if-he-does-get-in-im-going-to-be-president">primary win</a> and favored to become New York's next mayor, is stirring up debate with a bold pitch: open five city-owned grocery stores, one in each borough.
The plan is designed to bring affordable, fresh food to areas with limited access to supermarkets.&nbsp; But some critics say it sounds more like a political stunt than a solid solution.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Is This A Fix For Food Deserts Or A Government Overreach?</h2>
In many low-income New York neighborhoods, food insecurity affects more than 30% of residents, <a href="https://council.nyc.gov/data/emergency-food-in-nyc/">according</a> to the City Council. Mamdani says the $60 million pilot would let the city buy and sell at wholesale prices, avoid rent and property tax, and partner with neighborhoods on stocking decisions. But he hasn't shared how the stores would be built or operated, or whether workers would be on the city payroll.

</ul>
Responding to a recent <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/PoliticalDiscussion/comments/1lm7h6m/what_do_you_think_of_the_idea_of_stateowned/">post</a> on Reddit that asked: &#8220;What do you think of the idea of state-owned grocery stores?&#8221; supporters see it as a way to step in where the private sector won't. &#8220;If private enterprise isn&#8217;t serving the need, this is called a &#8216;market failure,'&#8221; one commenter wrote. &#8220;Market failure conditions are the exact conditions under which government is best entering a market.&#8221;
Others compared it to existing public services. &#8220;Nobody blinks twice at the [Department of Defense, Social Security Administration, or United States Postal Service] not turning a profit because they provide a needed service,&#8221; another person said. &#8220;Government entities exist to provide services to people who need it, even if it&#8217;s at a net loss.&#8221;
Proponents also pointed to the military commissary system as proof that government-run grocery stores can work. &#8220;They are significantly cheaper than regular grocery stores,&#8221; one commenter noted, adding that they charge &#8220;the cost of an item plus 5%.&#8221;
Still, many remain skeptical.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Critics Warn About Efficiency And Costs</h2>
Detractors argue that grocery stores are already a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45556328/jeff-bezos-shrugged-off-dot-com-hype-in-1999-betting-amazons-future-on-customer-obsession-internet-shminternet-that-doesnt-matter-he-said-theres-never-any-conflict-between-customers-and-shareholders-interests-and-walmart-should-say-the-same">razor-thin margin</a> business. &#8220;There is no way this is going to end well for taxpayers.&#8221; However, the counterargument by someone was that &#8220;Having healthy food be more accessible to poor people is a good use of my tax money. Better than most things it currently pays for.&#8221;
Others questioned the premise that the government could run stores better than private companies. &#8220;Labor is a huge cost of business&#8230; facilities costs don&#8217;t go away just because you&#8217;re &#8216;the government,'&#8221; one commenter pointed out.
Some warned the plan could backfire by hurting existing small grocers. &#8220;Wouldn't that have a tendency to push private stores out of business over time, since they couldn't compete with a government-subsidized store?&#8221; one person asked.
The debate also touched on whether food deserts in the city are truly a pressing issue. &#8220;Are there food deserts in NYC? Isn't everything a public transit stop away?&#8221; one commenter asked. But another replied, &#8220;Most of the Bronx, especially the eastern area, is considered a food desert. Upper Brooklyn is also considered a food desert.&#8221;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Trying Something New Or Wasting Taxpayer Money?</h2>
Some people struck a middle ground, suggesting the idea is worth testing. &#8220;Let NYC try this one. Let Kansas City try another. Let Chicago or Oklahoma City try a third option. See what works best,&#8221; one Reddit user wrote.
But not everyone bought into the optimism. &#8220;This whole idea is based on an ideological blind spot that maximizing profits inherently leads to bad results,&#8221; a commenter argued. &#8220;As long as there&#8217;s fair competition, seeking to maximize profits leads to good outcomes.&#8221;
In the end, Mamdani&#8217;s proposal has stirred passionate debate over the role of government, the realities of grocery economics, and what it really takes to fix access to food. Whether it&#8217;s a step forward or a political sideshow, many agree: it&#8217;s at least worth the conversation.

Optics Over Results? New York's Zohran Mamdani Proposed Government-Owned Grocery Stores, But What Do People Really Think About Them

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">2. Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>): AI's Unstoppable Beast</h2>
Nvidia remains the greed poster child, courtesy the tech world&#8217;s promising insatiable AI chip demand. The company has maintained its AI dominance and continues to be a top pick for growth-oriented investors, specially those looking to profit from a greed-oriented market.

The stock trades comfortably above all moving averages, and has made a Golden Cross recently, indicating the rally still has room. The MACD (moving average convergence/divergence) indicator at 6.56 continues to trend bullish while the RSI (relative strength index) flirts with the overbought territory.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">3. Palantir Technologies Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>): Data's Darling</h2>
Palantir has been riding the data and AI wave too, with its stock roaring over 390% in the past year, 78%+ YTD. Meanwhile, Wall Street has been touting its AI-driven government and commercial contracts. Recent <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44305045/archer-taps-palantirs-ai-to-supercharge-electric-aircraft-production-and-flight-tech">partnerships</a> and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46080274/palantir-just-boarded-a-flying-startup-and-this-nano-cap-stock-just-took-off">investments</a> also indicate that Palantir has been foraying beyond defense and into aviation.

The stock's been treading north, broadly, with occasional dips offering buying opportunities to Palantir bulls.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">4. Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>): Robotaxi Rocket Fuel</h2>
Tesla is electric with its Robotaxi becoming the talk of the town. Recently, the stock&#8217;s hit a few speed bumps, akin to its latest tech launch. While Tesla&#8217;s robotaxi rollout in Austin has fueled stock momentum, but safety concerns and NHTSA scrutiny signal caution ahead. Widespread traffic <a href="https://opentools.ai/news/teslas-robotaxi-rollout-excitement-meets-safety-concerns">violations</a> by Tesla's self-driving cars are drawing regulatory attention—investors may want to temper the hype.

<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/register?utm_adType=bzprocontent&amp;utm_campaign=14daytrial&amp;utm_ad=0704">Chart created using Benzinga Pro</a>
Technicals side with caution too, as the stock has dipped below most moving averages, finding support in the 200-day SMA (simple moving average). The RSI is neutral at 47.59 but a negative MACD again speaks caution. Overall, the growth-oriented Tesla bulls may see this as a buy-the-dip opportunity. Though investors must be warned, that Tesla stock, being driven a lot by sentiment, doesn&#8217;t some without speed bumps.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">5. Coinbase Global Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>): Crypto's Comeback Kid</h2>
Coinbase is another stock riding the Bitcoin reserve wave, with Wall Street noting its role in custody and trading.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/register?utm_adType=bzprocontent&amp;utm_campaign=14daytrial&amp;utm_ad=0704"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="629" height="484" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/04103307/Screenshot-2025-07-04-at-4.46.46-PM.png" alt="" class="wp-image-973164" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/04103307/Screenshot-2025-07-04-at-4.46.46-PM.png 629w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/04103307/Screenshot-2025-07-04-at-4.46.46-PM-300x231.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 629px) 100vw, 629px" /></a></figure>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/register?utm_adType=bzprocontent&amp;utm_campaign=14daytrial&amp;utm_ad=0704">Chart created using Benzinga Pro</a>
The stock has seen and uptick in and strong trading volume recently, driven by the Bitcoin reserve momentum. With an RSI of 68.09 and a healthy MACD at 30.30, COIN stock trades above moving averages &#8211; both short and long-term. For those seeking to profit from a greedy market, COIN is definitely a play on crypto greed.
Extreme greed can make heroes &#8211; or bagholders. These five trades ride the current wave, but frothy markets demand sharp entries, tighter stops, and zero complacency. Ride the trend, but don't forget: euphoria always overstays its welcome… until it doesn't.

Greed Mode On: Why Tesla, Nvidia, Palantir And Bitcoin Plays Could Rip

UGI's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UGI#NYSE">UGI</a>) short percent of float has risen 8.19% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 10.79 million shares sold short, which is 6.74% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 6.69 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.

<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.

Peering Into Exelixis's Recent Short Interest

(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KTOS#NASDAQ">KTOS</a>) stock increased by 10.35%, and in the past year, by 114.92%. With performance like this, long-term shareholders are optimistic but others are more likely to look into the price-to-earnings ratio to see if the stock might be overvalued.

<h3>Evaluating Kratos Defense &amp; Security P/E in Comparison to Its Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of 107.77 in the Aerospace &amp; Defense industry, Kratos Defense &amp; Security Inc. has a higher P/E ratio of 332.92. Shareholders might be inclined to think that Kratos Defense &amp; Security Inc. might perform better than its industry group. It's also possible that the stock is overvalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1751648416_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.

This year, the Fourth of July marks the 249th anniversary of the founding of the United States. Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), an asset whose ideas are rooted in financial sovereignty, has evolved significantly over the last few Independence Days.
What happened: Between 2020 and 2021, the apex cryptocurrency's value soared by an impressive 286%. Then came the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/22/10/29109313/how-long-will-the-crypto-bear-market-last">brutal bear market</a> of 2022, which triggered a 42% decline in Bitcoin&#8217;s price.
Since then, the leading coin has been trending only upward. After recovering by 52% in 2023, Bitcoin surged to nearly $57,000 by last year's Independence Day.
The last quarter of 2024 and the first half of 2025 saw a record-breaking run, with Bitcoin peaking at $111,970. While it has fallen from its highs, its value today is 92% higher than the same time last year.
From the data below, the compounded annual growth rate for Bitcoin is approximately 64%.

Bitcoin&#8217;s libertarian ideals, which advocated decentralization and freedom from centralized institutions, attracted many early investors. Tech billionaire and&nbsp;Palantir Technologies&nbsp;co-founder&nbsp;Peter Thiel&nbsp;once revealed that Bitcoin&#8217;s vision as a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/07/39569413/billionaire-peter-thiel-voices-skepticism-on-bitcoins-future-growth-im-not-sure-its-going-">cypherpunk, crypto-anarchist freedom tool</a> drew him to the asset.
Nothing better embodies Bitcoin&#8217;s revolutionary concepts than the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/22/08/28349295/understanding-bitcoins-whitepaper">Bitcoin Whitepaper</a>, authored by Satoshi Nakamoto. The first sentence in the whitepaper reads: &#8220;A purely peer-to-peer version of electronic cash would allow online payments to be sent directly from one party to another without going through a financial institution.&#8221;
However, truth be told. Bitcoin, as it exists today, is drastically different. It has become increasingly mainstream, with Wall Street <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/07/46228970/blackrocks-bitcoin-etf-surpasses-sp-500-etf-in-revenue-as-xrp-dogecoin-etf-approval-predicted-to-follow-soon">financial behemoths pouring millions into its funds daily,</a> and having a say on its price.
Price Action:&nbsp; At the time of writing, Bitcoin was exchanging hands at $109,418.54, up 2.18% in the last 24 hours, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA..">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.
