Abercrombie &amp; Fitch's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ANF#NYSE">ANF</a>) short percent of float has fallen 14.68% since its last report.

Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 1.35 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 Abercrombie &amp; Fitch 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 Abercrombie &amp; Fitch'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>, Abercrombie &amp; Fitch's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 11.70%, which means the company has more 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/">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

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

Wall Street had a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/43068335/wall-street-rallies-as-inflation-fears-recede-banks-smash-earnings-bitcoin-reclaims-100000-this-week-in-the-markets">strong rally last week</a>, driven by a combination of easing core inflation, a Gaza ceasefire agreement and robust bank earnings. Major indices closed the week with impressive gains: the S&amp;P 500 was up 2.9%, the Dow Jones climbed 3.7% and the Nasdaq Composite advanced 2.4%.
Needless to say, several ETFs also cashed in on the upbeat market environment. Here are five ETFs that ended the week on Jan. 17 on a happy note.
Direxion Daily Real Estate Bull 3X Shares (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DRN#NYSE">DRN</a>) Weekly gain: 15.25% Focus: Tracks U.S. REITs, offering a short-term view of the U.S. real estate sector. Expense Ratio: 1.01%
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">YieldMax MSTR Option Income Strategy ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTY#NYSE">MSTY</a>)</h1>
Weekly Gain: 13.28% Focus: Tracks MicroStrategy's share price while generating income. Expense Ratio: 0.99% 
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">First Trust SkyBridge Crypto Industry &amp; Digital Economy ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRPT#NYSE">CRPT</a>)</h1>
Weekly Gain: 13.20% Focus: Invests in crypto-related industries, with Coinbase Global Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>) as its top holding. Expense Ratio: 0.85% 
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">ProShares Ultra Industrials (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UXI#NYSE">UXI</a>)</h1>
Weekly Gain: 11.3% Focus: Tracks the Dow Jones U.S. Industrials Index. General Electric Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GE#NYSE">GE</a>) and Caterpillar Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CAT#NYSE">CAT</a>) are among its top holdings. Expense Ratio: 0.75% 
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">ProShares Ultra SmallCap600 (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SAA#NYSE">SAA</a>)</h1>
Weekly Gain: 8.9% Focus: Mirrors the S&amp;P SmallCap 600 Index and includes stocks of companies like Abercrombie &amp; Fitch Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ANF#NYSE">ANF</a>) and Fabrinet (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FN#NYSE">FN</a>) in its portfolio. Expense Ratio: 0.75%
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">What Drove Markets</h1>
While December&#8217;s annual inflation ticked up slightly to 2.9%, the increase came within market expectations, which served as a hope for a potentially dovish stance from the Federal Reserve. Retail sales rose by 0.4% in December, below the expected 0.6%, further fanning speculation of slower rate hikes.

In geopolitical news, the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/01/43017362/israel-hamas-agree-to-ceasefire-deal-including-hostage-release-biden-confirms">ceasefire between Israel and Hamas</a> brought some relief to global markets, reducing risks of regional disruptions. Additionally, positive earnings from major banks underlined the resilience of financial institutions, adding to market optimism.
Furthermore, Bitcoin&#8217;s standout performance last week sent the cryptocurrency 9% northward, marking a solid recovery. Inevitably, this rally lifted securities linked to Bitcoin, including MicroStrategy Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>), which saw its shares jump 28%, and Coinbase Global, up 20%.
Again, major banks inaugurated the fourth-quarter 2024 earnings season with strong results, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/banks">pushing bank stocks up.</a>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The End Of The 60/40 Portfolio&nbsp;</h2>
For years, a common investing approach was the 60/40 portfolio: 60% in stocks, and 40% in bonds. The idea behind it was simple: bonds were expected to outperform when stocks underperformed, and vice-versa. But as Tatiana Darie of Bloomberg pointed out yesterday (&#8220;<a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/shifting-correlations-unleash-market-havoc" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">Shifting Correlations Unleash Market Havoc</a>&#8220;), that is no longer the case:
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">Whether&nbsp;good&nbsp;or bad, shifting correlations are poised to wreak havoc on cross-asset strategies, and hedging assumptions will likely need to change. In the current environment, bonds are no longer proving to be a shield from stock losses.&nbsp;Jim Bianco&nbsp;of Bianco Research says the reason to hold bonds is changing, calling the days of the 60/40 portfolio&nbsp;"over."
It also means that trading might require a more creative and active approach that goes beyond traditional (and stale) assumptions.
</blockquote>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Moving Beyond Traditional (And Stale) Assumptions</h2>
As it happens, we developed an approach that moves beyond traditional assumptions. Specifically, it moves beyond the assumption that asset allocation is useful at all. The 60/40 portfolio, and other forms of asset allocation, deliberately put you in asset classes expected to perform badly. Why not put your money in assets you expect will do well? If you&#8217;re worried about downside risk, you can hedge with options. That&#8217;s essentially our approach, <a href="https://portfolioarmor.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">The Hedged Portfolio Method</a>. 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Hedged Portfolio Method&nbsp;</h2>
Here&#8217;s how our method works, in a nutshell:&nbsp;
<ol>
<li>Our system estimates 6-month returns for each security with options traded on it in the U.S. In addition to stocks, this universe of securities includes bond and commodity ETFs and even inverse ETFs. Our system is completely agnostic when it comes to asset class.&nbsp;</li>
<li>Next, our system finds optimal hedges for each security, and calculates their cost.&nbsp;</li>
<li>We subtract the hedging costs in 2. from the estimated returns in 1. and rank the securities by expected return, net of hedging cost.&nbsp;</li>
<li>The names that come to the top of the list in 3. are our top names. We buy and hedge a handful of them.&nbsp;</li>
</ol>
There are some additional steps, such as using a tightly collared &#8220;cash substitute&#8221; to minimize cash and boost returns, but that&#8217;s the gist of it.&nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Precisely Limiting Your Risk</h2>
One advantage of our approach is that you can precisely limit your risk. Don&#8217;t want to risk a decline of more than 17% over the next 6 months? Our system will hedge it so you don&#8217;t. Much different from putting 40% of your money in bonds and hoping for the best.&nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Real World Example&nbsp;</h2>
Here&#8217;s a portfolio our system created for an investor in July of last year. This was for an investor unwilling to risk a decline of more than 20% over the next 6 months. This one included&nbsp;American Superconductor Corporation&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMSC#NASDAQ">AMSC</a>),&nbsp;Abercrombie &amp; Fitch Co.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ANF#NYSE">ANF</a>),&nbsp;Constellation Energy Corporation&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CEG#NASDAQ">CEG</a>),&nbsp;Dell Technologies, Inc.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DELL#NYSE">DELL</a>),&nbsp;Navios Maritime Partners LP&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NMM#NYSE">NMM</a>),&nbsp;Natera, Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NTRA#NASDAQ">NTRA</a>), and&nbsp;Powell Industries, Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/POWL#NASDAQ">POWL</a>).
