<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.

How Is The Market Feeling About Iron Mountain?

Mutual-fund manager Peter Lynch is one of the most successful mutual-fund managers of all time. His average annual return of 29% from 1977 to 1990 would have turned a $10,000 investment into nearly $150,000.
And in his book "One Up on Wall Street," he described the best possible stock: First, its name sounds dull. Second, it does something dull.
Lynch's insight was that when it comes to investing, "Boring is beautiful." That's because boring companies tend to be undervalued, even as they grow earnings solidly each year.
Lynch found some spectacularly performing, "dull" stocks from his time in the business. He bought payroll manager Automatic Data Processing (ADP), food-products company Bob Evans Farms (now a private company), concrete maker Consolidated Rock, and even a company that ran a network of funeral homes.
He told of his decision to buy an auto-repair service, explaining&#8230;
"Blurting out that you own Pep Boys won&#8217;t get you much of an audience at a cocktail party, but whisper &#8220;GeneSplice International&#8221; and everybody listens. Meanwhile, GeneSplice International is going nowhere but down, while [Pep Boys] just keeps going higher."
Because when it comes to investing, Lynch said, boring is often better.
So here are three "boring" stocks that could easily multiply your money in the years ahead.
"Boring" Stock No. 1: American Waterworks Inc. (AWK)
Whether or not we're in a recession, everyone needs to flush toilets… and that's where American Waterworks (AWK) comes in.
Through its subsidiaries, AWK provides water and wastewater services to approximately 1,700 communities in 14 states serving approximately 3.5 million active customers.
Since 2009, AWK has returned 645%, including dividends, compared to a 480% return for the S&amp;P 500. It's also raised its dividend each year in the same time frame, offering further proof that "boring" companies can outperform.
"Boring" Stock No. 2: Sherwin-Williams Co. (SHW)
Sherwin-Williams makes and sells paint. It oversees the development, manufacture, distribution, and sale of paints, coating, and related products to professional, industrial, commercial, and retail customers.
You could say it's as interesting as watching paint dry… but long-term investors surely aren't complaining.
Since the 1980s, Sherwin-Williams shares have returned a staggering 128,000% for investors. Shares are up 18% in 2024 so far, including a 15.5% dividend increase.
"Boring" Stock No. 3: Iron Mountain (IRM)
Iron Mountain Incorporated (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IRM#NYSE">IRM</a>) is a global leader in information management services. Founded in 1951 and trusted by more than 240,000 customers worldwide, it offers a range of offerings including digital transformation, data centers, secure records storage, information management, asset lifecycle management.
So clearly, it&#8217;s not too glamorous a business. But Peter Lynch would approve—IRM shares are up over 1,000% since 2000, and the company just increased its dividend by 10.5%. Revenue growth was 13% last quarter, further evidence that this "boring" company continues to deliver for investors.

$1000 Invested In Iron Mountain 10 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

On CNBC's &#8220;Mad Money Lightning Round,&#8221; Jim Cramer recommended buying more Micron Technology, Inc.(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MU#NASDAQ">MU</a>) right here. &#8220;Now it's coming back down, I think it probably goes<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40448174/whats-going-on-with-micron-mu-stock"> to 98, 99,&#8221; he noted.</a>
On Aug. 22, Susquehanna analyst Mehdi Hosseini maintained Micron Technology with a Positive and lowered the price target from $185 to $175.
Cramer said he likes Crane Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CR#NYSE">CR</a>). &#8220;It is a very well-run company that has totally pivoted and does very little metal-bending,&#8221; he added.
On July 29, Crane reported better-than-expected second-quarter financial results.
The &#8220;Mad Money&#8221; host recommended to sell some Iron Mountain Incorporated (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IRM#NYSE">IRM</a>). &#8220;Let the rest run. That will be the wise thing to do right here,&#8221; he added.
On Aug. 1, Iron Mountain reported better-than-expected second-quarter financial results and issued FY24 AFFO guidance above estimates. Also, the company increased its quarterly dividend.
L3Harris Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LHX#NYSE">LHX</a>) is &#8220;terrific,&#8221; he said.
On Aug. 14, RBC Capital analyst Ken Herbert downgraded L3Harris Technologies from Outperform to Sector Perform and lowered the price target from $250 to $240.
Cramer said, &#8220;I would own Devon (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DVN#NYSE">DVN</a>), but don't get excited.&#8221;
On Aug. 6, Devon Energy reported quarterly earnings of $1.41 per share, which beat the analyst consensus estimate of $1.26 per share. Quarterly revenue came in at $3.917 billion which beat the analyst consensus estimate.
&nbsp;&#8220;I think that Intel (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) is getting whacked by AMD (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NYSE">AMD</a>),&#8221; Cramer said. &#8220;I much prefer Arm Holdings (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARM#NASDAQ">ARM</a>).&#8221;
On Aug. 1, Intel reported quarterly earnings of 2 cents per share which missed the analyst consensus estimate of 10 cents per share. 
Intel announced a $10 billion cost-reduction plan that it says will streamline operations and meaningfully cut spending and headcount, reducing non-GAAP R&amp;D and marketing, general and administrative (MG&amp;A) to approximately $20 billion in 2024 and approximately $17.5 billion in 2025, with further reductions expected in 2026.
Price Action:
