Leading cryptocurrency Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) briefly passed the $100,000 milestone in December. While Bitcoin has fallen in recent days since new all-time highs were hit, Ark Invest CEO Cathie Wood sees a much higher <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/23/02/30660447/cathie-woods-ark-sees-bitcoin-joining-trillion-dollar-club-by-2030-here-are-its-bea">price target ahead.</a>
Following Wood into Bitcoin: Wood has been a vocal bull for the cryptocurrency sector for years, which she recently said could be helped by the incoming <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/41928272/cathie-woods-ark-invest-foresees-crypto-industry-boost-under-incoming-trump-administration">White House administration.</a>
Wood has shared price targets for Bitcoin over the years, including a high of $3.8 million for BTC by the year 2030. Here&#8217;s a look at how much a small investment in Bitcoin today could increase over time if Wood&#8217;s various price targets are reached in the future.
With Bitcoin<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/41778425/bitcoins-all-time-high-a-groundbreaking-milestone-and-strong-post-election-rally-coming-ex" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">&nbsp;hitting all-time highs&nbsp;</a>after the 2024 presidential election, big questions remain about how high the leading cryptocurrency can go.
Earlier this year, Wood laid out&nbsp;her price targets&nbsp;for Bitcoin based on a bear case, base case and bull case for the year 2030. Wood also added a new bull case that includes the potential highest price Bitcoin&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/03/37902973/cathie-wood-says-bitcoin-could-skyrocket-to-3-8m-by-2030-thanks-to-institutional-gr" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">could reach by 2030</a>&nbsp;if companies allocated 5% to Bitcoin.
With Bitcoin trading at $97,106.64 at the time of writing, an investor could buy 0.00103 BTC today with $100. Here is a look at how much that $100 would be worth in the future under Wood&#8217;s various price targets.
<ul>
<li>Bear Case, $258,500: $100 today would be worth $266.26, up 166.3%</li>
<li>Base Case, $682,000: $100 today would be worth $702.46, up 602.5%</li>
<li>Bull Case, $1,480,000: $100 today would be worth $1,524.40, up 1,424.4%</li>
<li>Bullish Case, $3,800,000: $100 today would be worth $3,914.00, up 3,814.0%</li>
</ul>
As you can see, a small investment would turn into a sizable return if Wood's base or bullish predictions come true. Even the bearish price target hitting would more than double the investment from today.
While there's no guarantee that any of the price targets will hit, the exercise shows how a small investment in cryptocurrency could add up over time.

What&#8217;s Next:&nbsp;Wood recently reiterated her price targets in a CNBC&nbsp;<a href="https://x.com/BitcoinMagazine/status/1857483221857865879" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">interview&nbsp;</a>while highlighting how Ark Invest was early to investing in Bitcoin.
&#8220;We were the first public asset manager to gain exposure to Bitcoin in 2015 at $250,&#8221; Wood said.
Wood said that even with Bitcoin trading around $90,000, the company believes there is a long way to go.
The fund manager said that getting regulatory relief with a new administration is one of the most important things for Bitcoin. Wood also sees Bitcoin being viewed as a new asset class, leading to more institutions and asset allocators wanting to invest in the top cryptocurrency.
Wood's Ark Invest&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/01/36605838/ark-invest-ceo-cathie-wood-projects-a-single-bitcoin-could-be-worth-1-5m-by-2020-probabili" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">was also one of several companies&nbsp;</a>to have a Bitcoin ETF approved by the SEC with its&nbsp;Ark 21 Shares Bitcoin ETF&nbsp;(BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKB#BATS">ARKB</a>).
Wood&#8217;s most recent $3.8 million price target might be one of the biggest from a fund manager and among the most bullish bets on cryptocurrency. The target came from Bitcoin ETFs&#8217; approval and early success earlier this year.
"With this institutional green light that the SEC has provided, kicking and screaming though it did, the analysis we've done is that if institutional investors were to allocate a little more than 5% of their portfolios to bitcoin, as we think they will over time, that alone would add $2.3 million to the projection I just gave you," Wood said.
Adding $2.3 million to the $1.5 million results in a new 2030 price target of $3.8 million.
The approval of<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/bitcoin-etf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">&nbsp;the Bitcoin ETFs&nbsp;</a>led Wood to say in an interview that "the probability of the bull case has increased."
Wood and Ark Invest aren&#8217;t just betting on the success of Bitcoin with its cryptocurrency holdings and the ETF, the company is also investing in crypto-related companies.
The flagship&nbsp;Ark Innovation ETF&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKK#NYSE">ARKK</a>)&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ark-funds.com/funds/arkk" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">has&nbsp;</a>Coinbase Holdings&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>)&nbsp;as its second-largest holding, accounting for 10.0% of its assets.&nbsp;Robinhood Markets&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HOOD#NASDAQ">HOOD</a>)&nbsp;is the fund&#8217;s sixth-largest holding, accounting for 5.1% of its&nbsp;assets.
Bitcoin hit an all-time high of $103,900.47 on Dec. 4, one of several records set after the 2024 election.

United Rentals's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/URI#NYSE">URI</a>) short percent of float has fallen 11.23% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 1.87 million shares sold short, which is 3.24% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.78 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.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for United Rentals has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing United Rentals'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>, United Rentals's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 5.25%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

If You Invested $1000 In This Stock 5 Years Ago, You Would Have This Much Today

There's a big difference between the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/10/41609698/the-average-american-couple-has-saved-this-much-money-for-retirement-how-do-you-compare">"average" married couple</a> and the "above-average" ones. While some are figuring out how to balance a budget, others plan early retirements, buy vacation homes and make their money work overtime. If average couples are cruising toward financial security at a steady pace, the above-average crowd is hitting the gas pedal. So, how does it translate into actual numbers?&nbsp;

The Financial Advantage of Marriage
Marriage isn't just about love – it's also a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/07/39963533/warren-buffett-says-the-most-important-decision-of-your-life-is-who-you-marry-his-biggest-mistak">smart financial move</a>. Sharing expenses like rent, groceries and utilities creates economies of scale that single people can't access. Add in combined incomes and joint investments and it's no surprise that married couples often outpace singles when building wealth.
Data from the U.S. Census Bureau highlights this stark difference: married householders under 35 boast a median net worth 9.2 times higher than unmarried women and 3.1 times higher than unmarried men. That's not just significant – it's game-changing.

What Defines an Above-Average Married Couple?
Not every couple is destined for financial greatness, but "above-average" couples share common traits that set them apart:
Education: Both partners are typically college graduates, often with degrees that lead to solid earning potential.
Consistent Savings: They don't just save occasionally – they prioritize saving as a nonnegotiable habit.
Investment Mindset: They go beyond savings accounts to invest in retirement plans, brokerage accounts and real estate.
Financial Communication: Above-average couples are aligned on financial goals, discussing money openly and often.
Discipline and Patience: They resist lifestyle inflation, stick to their plans and let their wealth grow steadily over time.
Trending: Warren Buffett once said, "If you don't find a way to make money while you sleep, you will work until you die."<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/warren-buffet-make-money-when-you-sleep"> Here&#8217;s how you can earn passive income with just $100.</a>
What the Numbers Reveal About Being Above Average
Financial Samurai cites specific benchmarks for what they consider ‘above-average' couples. According to their data, at 25, their net worth is already approaching $80,000 – thanks to aggressive savings and disciplined spending. By 30, they've hit $250,000. How? It's not just about saving more; it's about compounding. Early investments grow yearly and they may have started building equity by purchasing their first home.
By 40, things accelerate. With over $660,000 in net worth, their combination of pretax savings (like 401(k)s), posttax investments and property equity begins to snowball. At this stage, the difference between average and above-average habits becomes crystal clear: they're not spending all they earn but investing it.
Fast forward to age 50 and their <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/10/41193824/are-you-rich-enough-to-be-in-the-top-1-heres-both-the-income-and-net-worth-you-need-to-rank-amon">net worth surpasses $1.2 million</a>. Nearly three decades of saving and compounding are paying off and their real estate investments add serious value. By retirement, at 65, they're closing in on $3 million. This includes over $2 million in savings and investments, plus $375,000 in property equity.
Trending: Many are using this retirement income calculator to check if they&#8217;re on pace —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-do-i-calculate-my-retirement-income-adv"> here&#8217;s a breakdown on what&#8217;s behind this formula.</a>
How Do They Do It?
The difference between average and above-average couples isn't a massive inheritance or a lucky break. It's habits, plain and simple.
<ol>
<li>They Save Early and Consistently</li>
</ol>
Above-average couples start saving aggressively in their 20s. They take full advantage of compounding interest by giving their money decades to grow.
<ol start="2">
<li>They Invest Strategically</li>
</ol>
It's not just about saving – it's about making money work for them. They max out retirement accounts, invest in brokerage accounts and leverage real estate to build wealth.
<ol start="3">
<li>They Avoid Lifestyle Creep</li>
</ol>
While others upgrade cars and take extravagant vacations, they stay focused on their long-term goals. They may enjoy life, but they prioritize financial security.
<ol start="4">
<li>They Communicate and Plan Together</li>
</ol>
Money fights? Not here. Above-average couples align on their financial goals and make decisions as a team.

Why This Matters
Being "above average" isn't about showing off – it's about having options. It means you can retire comfortably, provide for your family and maybe even leave a legacy. The best part? It's achievable. These numbers aren't just for the wealthy – they're for anyone willing to commit to smart financial habits over the long haul.
Whether you're just starting out or already on the path to financial freedom, remember: the difference between average and above average isn't luck. It's about what you do, day after day, to secure your future – and sometimes, that includes asking for directions.

Gorilla Technology Group Shares Are On The Rise Today: What's Going On?

UnitedHealth Group Inc.&#8216;s stock (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNH#NYSE">UNH</a>) is trading higher Monday following the detainment of a person of interest in the murder of Brian Thompson, the CEO of UnitedHealthcare. Here&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/UNH/news">what you need to know.</a>
What To Know: Thompson was shot and killed in a premeditated attack outside a Manhattan hotel on Wednesday. The incident has drawn widespread attention and the company's stock has been under pressure, falling 10% over the past five trading days. On Monday, authorities detained Luigi Mangione, 26, in Altoona, Pennsylvania, based on a tip from a McDonald's employee who recognized him.
According to the <a href="http://althcare-ceo-brian-thompson-outside-nyc-hotel/">New York Post</a>, Mangione was carrying fake identification, a ghost gun with a silencer and a manifesto critical of the healthcare industry. This discovery may suggest a motive linked to broader criticisms of the sector. Bullets recovered from the crime scene were inscribed with words like &#8220;deny,&#8221; &#8220;depose&#8221; and &#8220;defend,&#8221; adding to speculation about the attack&#8217;s intent.
The detainment of Mangione marks a significant development in the investigation, which may be reassuring to investors concerned about the uncertainty surrounding the case. However, Thompson's death leaves a leadership void at UnitedHealthcare, a key division of UnitedHealth Group, potentially impacting the company's operations and investor confidence.
UnitedHealth's stock price reflects a market trying to balance short-term clarity in the investigation with the long-term implications of losing a senior executive. The resolution of this case and its effect on the company's leadership stability will likely continue to influence the stock's performance in the coming days.
UNH Price Action: UnitedHealth Group shares were up 1.76% at $559.27 at the time of writing, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro.</a>
