Billionaire Mark Cuban recently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/09/41075742/mark-cuban-as-treasury-secretary-no-head-of-the-sec-is-the-job-hed-take-because-gary-gensler-has-bee">expressed interest in leading</a> the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), criticizing the agency&#8217;s handling of cryptocurrency regulations under current Chair Gary Gensler.
As a well-known NBA team owner and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/21/03/20070630/dogecoin-gets-mark-cuban-boost-but-its-no-match-to-this-nft-cryptos-spiciness">advocate for digital assets</a> like Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>), Cuban has frequently used his platform, along with Tesla CEO Elon Musk, to influence the meme coin's price through public support.
Here's a look at how investing in Dogecoin based on a Cuban event would have turned out.
What Happened: On March 4, 2021, <a href="http://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/21/03/20021204/mark-cubans-dallas-mavericks-now-accept-meme-crypto-dogecoin">Cuban announced that</a> the National Basketball Association's Dallas Mavericks would accept Dogecoin as payment for tickets and merchandise.
"The Dallas Mavericks are a long-time enthusiast of cryptocurrency, opening up new opportunities for the team to sell tickets and merchandise to its global MFFL fan base," said BitPay CEO Stephen Pair at the time. BitPay worked with the Mavericks to make the move happen.

</ul>
One of the biggest explanations Cuban gave as to why the Mavericks made the decision to accept Dogecoin was "Because we can!" "The Mavericks have decided to accept Dogecoin as payment for Mavs tickets and merchandise for on very important, earth shattering reason, because we can!" Cuban said at the time.
Cuban said sometimes you have to do fun things that could generate a lot of PR for your company or team.
The Mavericks saw $122,000 r<a href="http://'Supply And Demand Is Undefeated': Mark Cuban Celebrates Dallas Mavericks' Dogecoin Merch Sales">ecognized in Dogecoin sales </a>over its first month and set several 24-hour records with strong demand for using the meme coin towards merchandise.
Cuban <a href="http://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/21/08/22504769/mark-cuban-reveals-how-much-dogecoin-he-owns">revealed later in 2021</a> that he personally owned $494 in Dogecoin, and the Mavericks own whatever they have collected from the merchandise and ticket sales.
"If I had to choose between buying a lottery ticket and #Dogecoin… I would buy #Dogecoin," Cuban tweeted in February 2021.
Supporting Dogecoin even further, the Mavericks<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/21/08/22709857/dallas-mavericks-offering-25-gift-cards-for-customers-buying-merch-with-dogecoin-during-do"> offered a promotion </a>to support the meme crypto in August 2021. All customers who used Dogecoin to make purchases online totaling $150 or more received a free $25 e-gift card. The event was part of a Dogemania event.
The early support for Dogecoin and the promotion by the Mavericks wasn't lost on Dogecoin co-founder Billy Markus.
"If you wanna support one of the first big name vendors to evangelize DOGE for purchases, as @mcuban says, it's ready for you," Markus tweeted at the time.
Investing With Cuban, the Mavericks: Sometimes big events in the cryptocurrency or Dogecoin world can be catalysts that drive the price higher.
Dogecoin hit a high of $.05109 on the day of the Maverick's March announcement. A $1,000 investment in Dogecoin at the time could have purchased 19,573.30 Dogecoin.
Based on a <a href="http://www.benzinga.com/money/todays-dogecoin-price/">price </a>of $0.1185 for Dogecoin at the time of writing, the same $1,000 investment would be worth $2,319.44 today. This marks a +131.9% over the last three and a half years. 
Dogecoin <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/21/12/24814327/2021-was-the-year-of-dogecoin-a-month-by-month-retrospective-with-top-stories">hit an all-time high</a> of $0.7375 in May 2021, a couple of months after the Mavericks began supporting the cryptocurrency. At its peak, the $1,000 investment based on the March announcement was worth $14,435.31.
Dogecoin has traded between $0.05747 and $0.2266 over the last 52 weeks.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">A Triumphant Return to TGS</h1>
This year marked Kojima&#8217;s return to TGS after a five-year hiatus since 2019, when he last appeared to promote the original Death Stranding. 
<a href="https://www.ign.com/articles/hideo-kojima-death-stranding-2-tgs">According </a>to IGN, The event welcomed an enthusiastic audience, eager to hear from the renowned game designer. Joining Kojima on stage were singer-songwriter Daichi Miura and voice actors Kenjiro Tsuda, Nana Mizuki, Tomokazu Sugita and Shion Wakayama, alongside Danish film director Nicolas Winding Refn.
During the presentation, Kojima highlighted the Japanese voice cast for the sequel. Tsuda and Mizuki will reprise their roles as Sam and Fragile, respectively. Sugita, known for his dynamic voice work, will lend his talents to Dollman, a small yet significant character seen in early footage interacting with Sam.
The appearance of Wakayama, who recently won the Best New Actor award at the 2023 Seiyu Awards, introduced Tomorrow, a character inspired by actress Elle Fanning. 
A preview showed Tomorrow engaging in a conversation with Rainy, played by Shioli Kutsuna, who also expressed her admiration for Kojima through a pre-recorded video message. &#8220;I had never experienced a shoot like this before,&#8221; Kutsuna stated.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Innovative Photo Mode And Merchandise</h1>
Kojima showcased the game&#8217;s new photo mode, allowing players to interact with characters like Fragile, Tomorrow and Sunny in a more engaging manner.
Kojima exlplained: &#8220;You can create Polaroid-like images of these moments.&#8221; The demo featured Dollman dancing alongside Sam, as players enjoyed the ability to manipulate camera angles in real time.
In addition to gameplay features, Kojima revealed plans for exclusive merchandise, designed in collaboration with renowned designer Errolson Hugh and artist Yoji Shinkawa. 
The new Death Stranding jackets, retailing at approximately $1,749 (248,600 yen), will cater to both fans and characters in the game. A pop-up shop is also set to open at PARCO Shibuya in Tokyo on Nov. 8, celebrating the fifth anniversary of the original game&#8217;s launch.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Anticipation For Release</h1>
Despite the excitement surrounding the game&#8217;s features, Kojima kept fans in the dark regarding the release date, 
While he confirmed that principal photography was completed in May, he noted that the game&#8217;s development is only &#8220;30 to 40% complete,&#8221; <a href="https://ign.com/articles/hideo-kojima-death-stranding-2-tgs">as per</a> IGN.
Kojima hinted the release date is set internally but declined to disclose it, citing &#8220;unforeseen circumstances&#8221; that prevent him from sharing specific details at this time.
&#8220;I haven&#8217;t said the release date today, but the release date has already been decided, and I&#8217;m currently working on it in preparation for that,&#8221; Kojima stated. He promised fans that more information would be revealed &#8220;at some point next year.&#8221;

$100 Invested In PulteGroup 5 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

A U.S. District Court judge dismissed a lawsuit against Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) on Monday. Shareholders who brought the lawsuit claimed the company and CEO Elon Musk misled investors regarding the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38871331/tesla-told-to-face-autopilot-lawsuit-in-the-wake-of-safety-probes-report">company's Full-Self Driving (FSD) technology. </a>
The Details: U.S. District Judge Araceli Martínez-Olguín rejected allegations that Musk overstated Tesla's self-driving technology and found that some of the alleged overstatements were not false and others concerned future plans for the technology. However, the judge gave the shareholders involved until Oct. 30 to file an updated version of their complaint.
"Plaintiffs fail to connect Musk's hands-on management with any information that he allegedly learned rendering his statements false or misleading," the judge wrote in her decision.&nbsp;
Investors claimed they were harmed when Tesla's stock price fell after statements regarding FSD were shown to be false or misleading, according to the complaint. Investors also alleged Musk had sold $39 billion of Tesla stock before then.

Tesla still faces several other<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38871331/tesla-told-to-face-autopilot-lawsuit-in-the-wake-of-safety-probes-report"> lawsuits</a> surrounding its AutoPilot and FSD systems including a separate proposed class action over the company's self-driving marketing.&nbsp; Tesla also is involved in federal investigations concerning its AutoPilot driving technology, including whether defects in its Autopilot system have caused<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/04/38472186/auto-watchdog-intensifies-probe-into-teslas-autopilot-recall-as-safety-concerns-mount"> fatal accidents</a>.&nbsp;
Tesla remains focused on expanding its FSD technology with several software updates being deployed in September, including FSD <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41086839/tesla-cybertruck-starts-receiving-highly-anticipated-fsd-software">being deployed</a> in the Cybertruck.
Tesla is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40808924/tesla-robotaxi-event-to-be-held-in-los-angeles-on-1010-says-senior-company-exec-existing-shareholder">set to unveil </a>its autonomous-driving robotaxi technology at the "We, Robot' event on Oct. 10 in Los Angeles. Musk has hinted that the first unsupervised robotaxi ride could happen before the end of 2024.&nbsp;
"It's difficult, obviously, my predictions on this have been overly optimistic in the past," Musk said. "…based on the current trend… you could do [it] unsupervised possibly by the end of this year. I would be shocked if we cannot do it next year."
TSLA Price Action: According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw">Benzinga Pro</a>, Tesla shares ended Monday's session 0.45% higher at $261.63.&nbsp;

Elon Musk, Tesla Win Dismissal Of Full-Self Driving Claims: Judge Tosses Lawsuit

Boeing Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) shares are trading lower after its striking machinists rejected a labor offer, raising concerns over possible operational disruptions <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/09/41059652/boeing-737-max-jets-face-new-safety-concerns-over-jamming-pedals-as-investigators-point-out-mois">and prolonged negotiations. </a>
What To Know: Adding to Boeing&#8217;s challenges, the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) issued urgent safety recommendations regarding the rudder control system on Boeing 737 airplanes, according to Reuters. 
According to the NTSB, over 40 foreign operators may be using the Boeing 737 aircraft with rudder control components that could pose safety risks. This follows a February incident involving a United Airlines flight and the NTSB also revealed that two foreign operators had experienced similar issues in 2019.
National Transportation Safety Board Chair Jennifer Homendy expressed concern that many airlines may be unaware of the presence of these potentially problematic actuators on their aircraft, prompting the safety board to call for immediate attention from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and affected operators.
BA Price Action: Boeing stock closed down 2.70% at $152.04 according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro.</a>

<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.

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://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, American Water Works's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 2.20%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.
