<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.

Is Duke Energy Gaining or Losing Market Support?

No one stumbles upon <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">financial success</a> by accident. Wealth is built through discipline, learning from mistakes, and sticking to an approach even when the market seems to go awry. Few investing strategies showcase this better than <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44374276/reddit-explodes-over-dividend-math-how-much-would-the-annual-dividend-be-for-a-280k-investment-investors-debate-schds-future-growth">dividend</a> investing.
Dividend investing is the slow-and-steady journey of the financial world, paying consistently while also providing growth in the background, making it perfect for retirees, long-term investors, and anyone who wants passive income.

</ul>
Still, this approach can also be risky for some if they pick the wrong stocks. One military veteran and Reddit user recently shared his investing journey that started with him making costly mistakes to now earning him $10,000 in dividends per year.
With 13 years of investing experience, the poster, an enlisted service member, had to learn what works through trial and error. He says he tried to be smarter than the market early on, leading to him selling big winners too soon and holding onto losers for too long.
&#8220;I bought [General Electric] in my Roth at what I thought was a great price point of $14.50 or something. Had to [dollar-cost average] over several years to bring the cost basis down and missed out on having that money in better spots in the biggest bull market year I have been a part of,&#8221; he shared.
The 36-year-old mentioned that he&#8217;s gradually shifted his strategy to dividend shares now and his $296,570 portfolio already generates over $10,000 annually in dividends. Let&#8217;s see what dividend shares and ETFs the investor holds.

As of Feb. 12, 2025, three stocks in the utilities sector could be flashing a real warning to investors who value momentum as a key criteria in their trading decisions.
The RSI is a momentum indicator, which compares a stock&#8217;s strength on days when prices go up to its strength on days when prices go down. When compared to a stock&#8217;s price action, it can give traders a better sense of how a stock may perform in the short term.

Power grids across the South face an extraordinary challenge Tuesday as snow blankets regions typically prepared for summer heat waves, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/travel/25/01/43036258/polar-vortex-brings-winters-coldest-air-for-trumps-inauguration-day-what-it-means-for-utilities-retailers-energy-stocks">not winter whiteouts.</a>
What Happened A fierce winter system has upended daily life from Texas through the Carolinas, forcing Gulf Coast weather forecasters to issue their region&#8217;s first-ever snowstorm alert, CNN <a href="url-would-go-here">reports</a>.
The system&#8217;s power shocked the region Tuesday. Streets from Houston, Texas, through Louisiana, disappeared under white blankets, reaching six inches deep in some areas. Thermometers plunged into territory more familiar to northern states, driving wind chills into single digits across Texas.
Emergency declarations spread across Louisiana, Georgia, Alabama, Florida and Mississippi as the storm intensified. The Gulf Coast, better known for hurricane preparation, now faces winter conditions that threaten to paralyze communities for days, CNN reports.
The storm&#8217;s intensity caught many areas off guard. Snow accumulation and icy conditions transformed southern highways into hazard zones. Weather experts warn the cold snap could shatter records dating back more than a century.

Why It Matters: Local power providers mobilize resources to protect vital infrastructure. The scale of the response reflects the region&#8217;s unusual winter challenge.
Officials closed roads across five southern states, emptying highways and forcing residents indoors. &#8220;Most of us haven&#8217;t experienced this combination of bitter cold and significant snow ever in our lifetime,&#8221; Louisiana climatologist Jay Grymes told CNN
The storm&#8217;s reach shut down major transportation arteries. Both Houston airports suspended flights, while New Orleans saw nearly all air traffic halt by morning. Port operations froze, and even space exploration paused as NASA&#8217;s Texas operations suspended work through Wednesday.
School systems from Texas to Florida shifted to remote learning or closed entirely. Atlanta officials warned of road conditions deteriorating rapidly as the system pushes east.
Several major utilities are positioning themselves as the winter storm impacts their service territories:
<ul>
<li>CenterPoint Energy (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CNP#NYSE">CNP</a>), a major utility provider headquartered in Houston, Texas, focuses on electric transmission and distribution in the state and natural gas distribution across several U.S. regions.</li>
<li>Southern Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SO#NYSE">SO</a>), a prominent southeastern energy provider, specializes in electric power generation, transmission, and distribution, with operations in multiple states.</li>
<li>Entergy Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ETR#NYSE">ETR</a>) serves customers in Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi and Texas, providing electric power generation, transmission, and distribution services.</li>
<li>Duke Energy Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DUK#NYSE">DUK</a>) operates across the Carolinas, Florida, and parts of the Midwest, delivering electric power generation, transmission, and distribution services.</li>
<li>NextEra Energy Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NEE#NYSE">NEE</a>) primarily serves Florida through its subsidiary Florida Power &amp; Light and is a leading investor in renewable energy, focusing on wind and solar power.</li>
</ul>
Natural gas futures were down over 5% at the time of publication Tuesday.
The rare winter assault comes as utility stocks show renewed strength, with the sector seeing increased investor interest amid growing power demands from data centers <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/sector-etfs/25/01/42974006/utilities-rebound-as-ai-powers-energy-demand-3-etfs-to-watch">and AI operations.</a>
