Boston Omaha Corporation Announces Bradford Briner’s Resignation from Boston Omaha’s Board of Directors Following His Election as Treasurer of the State of North Carolina( ) shares have taken a nosedive in 2024 and are down 30% this year to date. Chief to the downsides has been the price of lithium, which itself recently hit multi-year lows, before retracing higher to CNY 79,050 per tonne at the time of writing. Pilbara shares have also been some of the most heavily on the ASX this year. Those betting on the stock price to fall have profited handsomely as a result. But now the tide may be turning on those with short bets on the lithium miner. Reports suggest that investors may be starting to unwind this trade, potentially in search of new ideas. Let's take a closer look. Pilbara Minerals shares heavily shorted A quick glance at the list of most shorted stocks throughout 2024 will see Pilbara Minerals shares in the top 10 for most of the year. As a reminder, short selling to profit when share prices are declining, unlike 'going long', which means profiting from rising share prices. As of Monday this week, it was , with nearly 18% of shares outstanding considered to be sold short. With lithium prices potentially finding a bottom and Pilbara down sharply this year, reports suggest the bet against the miner could be reversing. Hedge funds, which can go both long and short stocks, have off the table, according to How do we know? Well, whilst about 18% of the company's shares were shorted last week, this is down from 22% back in August. Could these funds be seeking out their next opportunities? It's not entirely clear, but if the trend continues, this may or may not be good news for Pilbara Minerals shares. Time will tell. Pilbara above $3 per share? Brokers are fairly for Pilbara shares. UBS is in the bearish crowd, rating the stock a sell with a $2.35 price target. Meanwhile, Bell Potter is a hold, valuing the business at $2.95 per share. Both brokers cite the fundamentals of the underlying lithium market as causes for concern in their investment theses. But if lithium prices begin to curl higher, is this good news for Pilbara Minerals shares? Morgans thinks so. It rates the stock a buy with a $3.25 price target, noting an uptick in lithium demand could be positive for Pilbara. Time will tell if the lithium miner can nudge back to these levels. Foolish takeout Pilbara Minerals shares have been heavily shorted this year, but the tides might be starting to turn. What impact this will have on the long-term outlook of the stock isn't clear. What will have more of a bearing is the actual performance of the business relative to the lithium market.Furthermore, the ethical implications of using personal images as a tool for political gain cannot be overlooked. While it is understandable that in times of conflict, propaganda and psychological warfare are common tactics, there are still certain lines that should not be crossed. Exploiting someone's personal life and family relationships for political purposes sets a dangerous precedent and blurs the distinction between public and private spheres.

Team India star Virat Kohli once again let the team down with a horrible dismissal during India's second innings on Day 5 of the ongoing 4th Test against Australia at the MCG on Monday. New Delhi: Virat Kohli went chasing an outside off delivery once again to get out cheaply during India’s second innings on Day 5 of the 4th Test against Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) in Melbourne on Monday. Aussie pacer Mitchell Starc exploited Kohli’s weaknesses with an outside off delivery to send him packing cheaply on just 5 off 29 balls. It was a horrible dismissal for the Team India star, who has been facing intense criticism for getting out in a similar fashion throughout the series. Kohli’s weakness with the deliveries on the sixth stump line has been exploited heavily by the Australian pacers and has resulted in low returns for the senior India batter. Kohli once again let India down with his poor shot selection during the visitors’ second innings on Monday as he went chasing an outside off delivery from Starc in the 27th over. The Indian batter could have left the ball but decided to go for a drive and ended up edging it to Usman Khawaja at slips, who made no mistakes with his catch. Kohli was dismissed on 5, leaving India in a huge spot of bother at 33/3 in their 340-run chase against Australia in their second innings at the MCG. Kohli was expected to step up and deliver after India were set a strong target of 340 runs by Australia on the final day, but the India star endured yet another flop show to leave the team reeling.

But ever since, Kohli has struggled to deliver for India and has been dismissed cheaply consistently in the last three Test matches. The India star has managed only 62 runs for India in their last three Test matches against Australia. His scores in his last six innings read – 7, 11, 3, 36 and 5. Kohli’s form has further enhanced India’s troubled in their batting line-up in the series so far. Click for more latest Cricket news .
