Why Short Interest Matters Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. Short selling 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.

There has been an update to the health of Black Bart, a classic star of the WWF (later WWE), WCW, and countless other promotions, and it is very, very unfortunate. I just spoke to Black Bart's wife in detail about his health. She gave me permission to report an update. She stated, "he's ready to meet his maker, so it's a win-win situation. When it's time to go to heaven, he knows where he's going." He is currently resting at home with... pic.twitter.com/78XVmiXD3c More News: WWE Reportedly Cancels Long-Running 'Tribute to the Troops' According to professional wrestling journalist Chris Featherstone, Black Bart is refusing chemotherapy for his reported stage 4 liver cancer and his wife Linda is making end-of-life preparations. "I just spoke to Black Bart's wife in detail about his health. She gave me permission to report an update," Featherstone's social media post stated. "She stated, 'he's ready to meet his maker, so it's a win-win situation. When it's time to go to heaven, he knows where he's going.'" Black Bart, born Richard Harris in Arkansas, began his wrestling career in the mid-1970s, initially using several ring names, including "Man Mountain Harris," "Hangman Harris," and "Hangman Ricky Harris," as he developed his wrestling persona. He gained significant attention in the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA), where he earned a reputation as a tough and intimidating competitor, wrestling for various regional promotions throughout his early years. In 1990, Black Bart made his debut for the World Wrestling Federation (WWF), appearing in a dark match. His time in the WWF helped establish him as a recognizable name in the industry. Later, in 1991, he signed with World Championship Wrestling (WCW), where he became part of a stable known as "The Desperados", alongside Dutch Mantell and Deadeye Dick. In his later career, Black Bart transitioned into a coaching role, where he mentored future WWE star John Bradshaw Layfield (JBL). JBL would go on to become a key figure in WWE and is credited with originating the popular Tribute to the Troops event, an annual WWE tradition honoring the U.S. military . Featherstone's update regarding Black Bart's health says that although he is no longer going through therapy, he appears to be in good spirits. "He is currently resting at home with his wife Linda. He is refusing chemotherapy and his bladder has stopped working. Linda stated that he said that he felt so bad after the chemo, "each time he's done it, he's felt worse." He is no longer able to walk and is barely eating." "His weight dropped from 320 to 210, and his wife stated, "he's nothing but skin and bones now." She said that "he's prayed up and ready to go," and he is in good spirits. She expressed that instead of a memorial, Bart "wants a party" to celebrate his life and be remembered for how he was before getting terminally ill." "And ain't a DAGGUM thing you can do about it. 🙏🏾" For more on WWE and professional wrestling, head to Newsweek Sports .

Investigating the Bigfoot phenomenon by marrying traditional knowledge with scienceSan Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy was limited with the right shoulder injury that sidelined him last week and there is growing concern about the long-term status of left tackle Trent Williams. Wednesday's practice was not the start to the NFL workweek head coach Kyle Shanahan had hoped after Purdy was unable to bounce back from a shoulder injury in Week 11. Brandon Allen started at Green Bay and the 49ers (5-6) lost 38-10 with the backup-turned-starter committing three turnovers. Williams was reportedly spotted in the locker room with a knee scooter and is experiencing pain walking. He played through an ankle injury against the Seattle Seahawks Nov. 17. Defensive end Nick Bosa (hip, oblique) also missed practice Wednesday, leaving the 49ers to spend the holiday plotting to play the Buffalo Bills (9-2) without the three Pro Bowlers again. "I don't know anyone who gets Thanksgiving off unless maybe you have a Monday night game. You just start a lot earlier and get the players out," Shanahan said. "We cram everything in so the players get out, tries to be home with the family by 5. I usually get home by 7 and they're all mad at me, then get back to red-zone (installation)." The 49ers are in danger of a three-game losing streak for the first time since Oct. 2021. Injuries have been a common thread since September when running back Christian McCaffrey was a surprise scratch with an Achilles injury for the opener. Wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk (ACL) is out for the season at a position dinged from top to bottom. Star linebacker Fred Warner also is ailing and said Wednesday that he fractured a bone in his ankle on Sept. 29 against the New England Patriots. The game against the Bills will mark his eighth straight game playing with the injury. "It's something I deal with every game," Warner said. "I get on that table before every game and get it shot up every single game just to be able to roll. But it's not an excuse. It's just what it is. That's the NFL. You're not going to be healthy. You've got to go out there, you've got to find ways to execute, to play at a high level and to win every single week." Shanahan wasn't interested in injury talk. He said the 49ers have not played well in the past two weeks, and puts part of his focus on getting more out of the running game with snow in the forecast on Sunday night. He's not in agreement with pundits who doubt McCaffrey's ability early into his return from injured reserve, with a per-carry average of 3.5 yards compared to 5.4 in 2023. "The speculation on Christian is a little unfair to him," Shanahan said. "Christian is playing very well. He's playing his ass off. To think a guy who misses the entire offseason is going to come back and be the exact same the day he comes back would be unfair to any player in the world." San Francisco opened the 21-day practice window for linebacker Dre Greenlaw, who tore his Achilles in the Super Bowl in February. His return date is unclear. --Field Level MediaTrump Vows To Expand Death Penalty After Biden Commutes 37 Federal Death Row Sentences
