U.S. Rep.&nbsp;Marjorie Taylor Greene&nbsp;(R-Ga.) has been buying the sharp pullback in markets spurred by President Donald Trump&#8217;s sweeping reciprocal <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44678625/did-trump-team-manipulate-tariff-formula-to-achieve-higher-rates-experts-weigh-in-as-they-think-whole-thing-was-rigged">tariff announcement last week</a>.

Greene has developed a strong relationship with Trump and Tesla&#8217;s Elon Musk, and has a role in the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
After disclosing the purchase of shares of a Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) ETF last month, Greene appears to be ramping up bets on some of the names that sold off on tariff-related concerns.

<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.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Norfolk Southern has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Norfolk Southern's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. 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://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Norfolk Southern's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 8.39%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

$100 Invested In Norfolk Southern 20 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

After President Donald Trump imposed an additional 10% levy on Chinese imports, China has retaliated with tariffs on major agricultural imports from the U.S. Many agricultural product manufacturers, suppliers, and related businesses are likely to be impacted by this move.
What Happened: China&#8217;s newly imposed tariffs will take effect from March 10, whereas the goods already in transit will be exempt until April 12, according to the Chinese Commerce Ministry.
These latest measures from Beijing target about $22 billion of American agriculture products that include one of its largest export worth $12 billion to China — Soybeans, <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/da80beaf-d916-4125-a9bc-040a1f15942e?ref=biztoc.com">reported</a> FT. Chicken, pork, beef, corn, seafood, and cotton are among the 740 items with newly imposed tariffs.
These Chinese tariffs on agricultural products emerged after Trump&#8217;s joint Congress address, where he said that his tariff polices focused on protecting the American farmers.
&#8220;Because those goods that come in from other countries and companies, they're really, really in a bad position in so many different ways. They're uninspected. They may be very dirty and disgusting and they come in and they pour in and they hurt our American farmers,&#8221; said Trump at the Congress address. 
Following this, Beijing also halted U.S. timber imports, citing pest infestations such as recent detections of bark beetles and longhorn beetles.
Here&#8217;s a list of public companies involved with the manufacturing and supply of soybeans that could be impacted following China&#8217;s tariffs.

Why It Matters: While tariffs are inherently considered to be inflationary, some analysts have opined otherwise. According to Louis Navellier of Navellier &amp; Associates, "The anxiety over tariffs may be holding back some consumers, but I want to assure you that I do not expect most tariffs to be inflationary. As an example, the tariffs that have been imposed on China are expected to be suppressed by Chinese deflation as well as a weak Chinese yuan."
On Sunday, Trump acknowledged the potential of short-term turbulence and didn&#8217;t rule out recession stemming from his economic agenda. In a Fox News <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LoRzZWLHa8M">interview</a>, he said, "I hate to predict things like that" and called the changes being brought about by his administration as "very big."
However, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick dismissed recession fears, saying the U.S. is in a &#8220;transition&#8221; as President Trump plans broad reciprocal tariffs. "There's going to be no recession… Global tariffs will drop," Lutnick <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/trump-administration/commerce-secretary-lutnick-americans-shouldnt-brace-recession-rcna195522">told</a> NBC's Meet the Press.
Additionally, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/03/07/cnbc-transcript-united-states-treasury-secretary-scott-bessent-speaks-with-cnbcs-squawk-box-today.html">warned</a> Friday that the U.S. economy is overly dependent on government spending, predicting a &#8220;detox period.&#8221;

Trump Administration Opens Review Into Whether To Rescind $4B In Grants Awarded To California High Speed Rail Project

U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) disclosed buying stock in a handful of public companies including Palantir Technologies (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>). The latest purchase disclosed Friday could lead to more scrutiny of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/congress-trading">Congress Trading activity.</a>
What Happened: Greene is one of the most well-known members of Congress and her close relationship with President Donald Trump and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/02/43452092/musk-doge-partner-marjorie-taylor-green-goes-after-npr-pbs-is-the-department-of-education-next">growing relationship with </a>billionaire Elon Musk, leader of the so-called Department of Government Efficiency, could give her an inside track on how the White House administration will delegate new and existing deals.
The congresswoman went several years without disclosing new stock purchases before unveiling a handful in May 2024. That disclosure has been followed up with trades <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42747345/marjorie-taylor-green-went-christmas-shopping-for-stocks-heres-what-she-bought-before-holiday">every month or two</a>, including the most recent trades made in February 2025, as reported by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/gov-trades/members/marjorie-taylor-greene">Benzinga's Government Trades page.</a>
Here are the latest stocks bought by Greene, with each transaction totaling $1,000 to $15,000 in size.
<ul>
<li>Adobe Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADBE#NASDAQ">ADBE</a>)</li>
<li>Apple Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>)</li>
<li>Devon Energy (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DVN#NYSE">DVN</a>)</li>
<li>Goldman Sachs (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>)</li>
<li>Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>)</li>
<li>Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>)</li>
<li>Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>)</li>
<li>Norfolk Southern (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NSC#NYSE">NSC</a>)</li>
<li>Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>)</li>
<li>United Parcel Service (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UPS#NYSE">UPS</a>)</li>
</ul>
Several of the trades made by Greene could raise red flags as conflicts of interest given her congressional committee assignments. Greene is a member of the following committees:
<ul>
<li>House Committee on Oversight and Accountability: Chairwoman, Subcommittee on Delivering on Government Efficiency (D.O.G.E.)</li>
<li>House Committee on Homeland Security: Subcommittee on Counterterrorism and Intelligence, Subcommittee on Oversight, Investigations, and Accountability</li>
</ul>
Greene has made trades in technology stocks before, which could influence her role in the subcommittee on counterterrorism and intelligence.
Benzinga contacted Greene for comment on this story and she had not responded at the time of publication. 
One of the newest trades could represent the largest potential conflict of interest: Palantir Technologies is a company that regularly lands government contracts. As a member of the House Committee on Homeland Security, Greene could have an inside track on upcoming contracts with Palantir.

</ul>
Why It's Important: Greene is not the only member of Congress betting on Palantir Technologies stock. Three other members of Congress have bought the stock in recent weeks.
Here are the other members of Congress who disclosed buying Palantir stock, with each purchase valued at $1,000 to $15,000 according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/gov-trades/securities/PLTR">Benzinga's Government Trades data.</a>
<ul>
<li>Gilbert Ray Cisneros (D-Calif.)</li>
<li>James Comer (R-Ky.)</li>
<li>Julie Johnson (D-Texas)</li>
</ul>
Palantir has ties to the Trump administration, with multiple founders of the company supporting the president, including Peter Thiel, who served as a venture capital mentor to Vice President J.D. Vance.
Several Palantir co-founders have been supportive of the work being done by D.O.G.E. and Musk, which could lead to the company receiving deals to help improve efficiency and government spending in the future.

Marjorie Taylor Greene Discloses New Stock Trades: Is Palantir Purchase Conflict Of Interest For Committee Assignments?

Norfolk Southern's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NSC#NYSE">NSC</a>) short percent of float has risen 4.35% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 2.18 million shares sold short, which is 0.96% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 1.38 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/">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>Comparing Norfolk Southern's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. 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>, Norfolk Southern's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 7.10%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

If You Invested $1000 In This Stock 20 Years Ago, You Would Have This Much Today

Recent <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/02/43420421/marco-rubios-panama-visit-will-trumps-aggressive-rhetoric-lead-to-war-or-diplomacy">statements</a> by President Donald Trump regarding potential changes in the status of the Panama Canal have raised concerns about possible impacts on various stocks and exchange-traded funds. After all, some 4% of global trade passes through the canal, with more than 70% of that traffic bound for or coming from the U.S., <a href="https://www.wsj.com/world/americas/china-panama-canal-development-what-it-means-7c5dc870">according</a> to the Wall Street Journal.
What Happened: On Sunday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio warned Panama&#8217;s President José Raúl Mulino that Washington will &#8220;take measures necessary&#8221; if Panama does not immediately take steps to put an end to what Trump&nbsp;considers China&#8217;s influence and control over the Panama Canal.
Following the talks with Rubio, who is on a tour of Central America, Mulino signaled he would review agreements involving China and Chinese businesses. Since Trump took office, he has reiterated his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42639737/trumps-call-to-reclaim-panama-canal-sparks-backlash-every-square-meter-belongs-to-panama-says-president-mulino" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">threat to forcibly retake the Panama Canal</a>, which generates some $2.5 billion in annual revenue for Panama.
As a critical conduit for international maritime trade, any changes to its operations could naturally affect companies involved in shipping, logistics and transportation.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Which Companies Might Be Affected? Quite A Few</h1>
Let's start with the shipping-owning company SFL Corporation Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFL#NYSE">SFL</a>), which is engaged in the ownership and operation of vessels and offshore-related assets. There are two others that could see changes: Costamare Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMRE#NYSE">CMRE</a>), which owns and charters container ships, and Navios Maritime Holdings (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NMPGY#NYSE">NMPGY</a>), an international owner and operator of dry cargo vessels.
Next, we have the railway companies that provide freight services across the U.S. These include CSX Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSX#NASDAQ">CSX</a>), Norfolk Southern Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NSC#NYSE">NSC</a>), Union Pacific Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNP#NYSE">UNP</a>), Canadian Pacific Kansas City Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CP#NYSE">CP</a>) and the Canadian National Railway Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CNI#NYSE">CNI</a>).
Now let's look at the ETFs that focus on all of the above — shipping, air freight and the courier industries.
U.S. Global Sea to Sky Cargo (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SEA#NYSE">SEA</a>), Breakwave Dry Bulk Shipping (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BDRY#NYSE">BDRY</a>) provides exposure to the daily change in the price of dry bulk freight futures and SPRD S&amp;P Transportation ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XTN#NYSE">XTN</a>), which represents the transportation segment of the S&amp;P Total Market Index ("S&amp;P TMI") designed to&nbsp;track the broad U.S. equity market.
