<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?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">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.

In the current market session, Associated Cap Gr Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AC#NYSE">AC</a>) share price is at $38.31, after a 13.28% increase.

Shareholders might be interested in knowing whether the stock is overvalued, even if the company is performing up to par in the current session. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1744984829_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Evaluating Associated Cap Gr P/E in Comparison to Its Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 28.97 in the Capital Markets industry, Associated Cap Gr Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 16.26. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1744984830_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.

$1000 Invested In This Stock 15 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) co-founder Jack Ma once expressed that trade wars, such as the one brewing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44831287/trump-administration-imposes-up-to-245-tariff-on-chinese-imports-amid-intensifying-trade-battle">between the U.S. and China,</a> are obscuring deeper issues of resource allocation and wealth concentration, while posing a risk to global stability.
What Happened: In an old interview, Jack Ma acknowledged that in the past 30 years, top U.S. companies like IBM (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBM#NASDAQ">IBM</a>), Cisco (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSCO#NASDAQ">CSCO</a>) and Microsoft (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) earned a lot of profit which are much more than the four largest banks in China put together, however, after the financial crisis of 2008, the country lost trillions of money and lots of white and blue collar jobs. The Chinese billionaire asks, &#8220;Where (did) the money go?&#8221;
He suggests that the narrative of other countries &#8220;stealing&#8221; American jobs oversimplifies a more complex&nbsp;issue: strategic missteps in resource&nbsp;allocation. Ma feels that wealth has been disproportionately distributed, favoring&nbsp;short-term gains over long-term stability.&nbsp;The conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan have depleted&nbsp;resources that could have been&nbsp;used to support America&#8217;s industrial base and its people.

The Alibaba co-founder went on to say that the trade war between the world&#8217;s two largest economies, the U.S. and China, could have catastrophic consequences not only for these nations but also for the global economy. &#8220;It&#8217;s going to be a disaster,&#8221; said the Alibaba co-founder. He believes, &#8220;When trade stops, the war starts.&#8221;
He opined that the potential for collaboration over confrontation, even if it disrupts established business models, could yield long-term benefits of peace and mutual prosperity that would far outweigh the costs.
&#8220;I will (be) happy if China and USA agree on something&#8230;I would destroy Alibaba model by stopping the war,&#8221; stated Ma.
The Chinese tech titan also stated that it is hard to imagine that the first largest economy of the world and the second largest economy have a trade war. &#8220;If we can anybody can do something to stop it do anything to stop,&#8221; Jack Ma stated.

Why It Matters: The escalating trade tensions are not only threatening global stability but also posing serious liquidity risks for investors holding U.S.-listed Chinese stocks like Alibaba Group and JD.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JD#NASDAQ">JD</a>). According to a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44868280/us-listed-chinese-stocks-face-250-billion-forced-selling-risk-as-delisting-fears-emerge-what-investors-need-to-know">note</a>&nbsp;shared by Goldman Sachs analyst Kinger Lau, the fears of delisting for Chinese American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) are rising, driven by escalating trade tensions and new policy guidance from U.S. officials.
Moreover, amid these tensions, Alibaba Group is betting big on AI with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44745275/alibaba-bets-big-on-ai-with-new-cloud-tools-as-jack-ma-reemerges-in-company-comeback">new cloud tools</a>. The company&#8217;s co-founder, Jack Ma, reemerged to celebrate its 15th anniversary and showcased its Blossom project, which aims to accelerate AI adoption. This move indicates a strategic shift towards technological advancements, potentially reshaping the global trade dynamics.
The ADR of Alibaba Group climbed 1.99% to close at $108.87 on Thursday, as per <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">BenzingaPro</a>. Year-to-date, the company&#8217;s ADR surged 28.16%.

Jack Ma Was Once Ready To 'Destroy' Alibaba To End US-China Trade War: 'I Would Be Happy If China And USA Agree On Something'

Some people make so much money that they start to question if this is all life has to offer. Financial expert Dave Ramsey recently spoke with one of these people on "The Ramsey Show."
He welcomed a 26-year-old caller to the show who has a $5 million net worth. Naturally, Ramsey was impressed with how successful the 26-year-old had become. However, the call didn't have much to do with money. Instead, the caller asked Ramsey for <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRJDYx-kXkw">the meaning of life</a>, and Ramsey confirmed an important truth for the caller.
"Just stacking cash doesn't have meaning."
Ramsey proceeded to give the caller advice on living a more fulfilling life.

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Giving Vs. Getting</h2>
Ramsey took the spiritual route and discussed his faith during this call. He touched upon how being of service leads to a more fulfilling life. Whether it's being a part of your local church, volunteering at a local non-profit, or mentoring someone, giving can go a long way.
"True joy comes from serving, not through getting," Ramsey said during the episode.
Approaching life from that perspective can give you a greater sense of purpose. While work is a part of living a fulfilled life, only focusing on money will leave you lacking in key areas like spirituality and social relationships.&nbsp;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Get Out Of The House</h2>
The caller mentioned that he still lives with his mom despite having $5.5 million saved up. Ramsey immediately recommended that the caller get an apartment and embrace a healthier diet. Health entered the conversation because the caller mentioned that he only eats McDonald's and Chipotle all day.&nbsp;
Not everyone should move out of their parent's house. It's not a financially feasible move for everyone, but Ramsey views the move as part of becoming an adult. The caller's girlfriend seems to have the same stance. She's known him since middle school, and she jokes about why she's still dating him despite him living in his mother's basement. Ramsey and the caller had a good laugh when that was mentioned.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Money Game Is Not Solved Yet</h2>
Although the caller is off to a tremendous start, Ramsey cautioned the caller about assuming that the money game is solved. Ramsey proceeded to mention that he had $4 million worth of real estate at 26 and went bankrupt at 30.
Fortunes can change quickly, so it's still important to be prudent about money. The caller seems to be in a good position, but Ramsey wanted to mention that detail.
However, it's also good to spend money from time to time when you have built a strong financial foundation and want to enhance the quality of your life. Ramsey mentioned enjoying better meals with his girlfriend and setting his sights on a house. The caller mentioned wanting to buy a dream house, and Ramsey said that's a good goal.&nbsp;
The 26-year-old caller has done well for himself. Following Ramsey's advice can help him find more fulfillment in his life that stretches beyond finances.

A 26-Year-Old Worth $5 Million Asks Dave Ramsey For The Meaning Of Life: 'Just Stacking Cash Doesn't Have Meaning'

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) has cautioned about a possible stock market collapse if President Donald Trump decides to fire Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell.
What Happened: Warren&#8217;s remarks were a reaction to Trump&#8217;s earlier social media <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114352766082542122">post</a>, in which he expressed his impatience for Powell&#8217;s &#8220;termination.&#8221;
&#8220;Too Late should have lowered Interest Rates, like the ECB, long ago, but he should certainly lower them now. Powell's termination cannot come fast enough!&#8221; Trump wrote in his post. 
During her speech&nbsp;at the New York Stock&nbsp;Exchange, Warren voiced her apprehensions about the potential repercussions on the US markets if Powell were to be dismissed. 
&#8220;I have tangled with him on a regular basis about both regulations and interest rates. But understand this: If Chairman Powell can be fired by the president of the United States, it will crash markets in the United States,&#8221; Warren said of Powell at the New York Stock Exchange.

Warren also underscored the importance of the Federal Reserve&#8217;s independence for the stability of the US and global economy. She expressed her doubts about the legality of Trump&#8217;s potential action to remove Powell.
&#8220;If interest rates in the United States are subject to a president who just wants to wave his magic wand, this doesn&#8217;t distinguish us from any other two-bit dictatorship around the world,&#8221; she added and as quoted <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/elizabeth-warren-stock-market-crash-warning-if-trump-fires-powell-2025-4">by </a>Insider. 
Trump&#8217;s disapproval of Powell, especially regarding interest-rate cuts, has been a persistent issue. However, Powell has consistently maintained that he cannot be legally dismissed by the president.
The Supreme Court is set&nbsp;to deliver a verdict later this year on the legality of Trump&#8217;s recent dismissals of&nbsp;board members of independent agencies.
Why It Matters: The potential dismissal of Powell by Trump could lead to significant instability in the US and global markets. The Federal Reserve&#8217;s independence is a critical factor in maintaining economic stability, and any threat to this independence could have far-reaching implications. 
The upcoming Supreme Court ruling on the legality of Trump&#8217;s recent dismissals of board members of independent agencies could set a precedent for the future of the Federal Reserve and its leadership.

Warren Foresees Market Turmoil if Trump Dismisses Fed's Powell: If Powell Can Be Fired by Trump, 'It Will Crash Markets'

China's recent move to pause Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) aircraft purchases may end up hurting its own jet maker, Comac, which depends heavily on U.S. technology and has only a small number of planes currently in service
What Happened: The Chinese government&#8217;s move to stop buying Boeing aircraft could potentially harm Comac, a Shanghai-based aircraft manufacturer that is still striving to become globally competitive, according <a href="https://www.wsj.com/world/china/how-chinas-boeing-ban-threatens-to-backfire-on-its-own-plane-maker-6c9e6cc1?mod=hp_lead_pos11">to</a> a report by the Wall Street Journal.
The escalating trade tensions between the U.S. and China, coupled with high tariffs, could have significant implications for the aviation sector of both economies.
Chinese airlines have been instructed to withhold new orders for Boeing aircraft and seek approval before accepting delivery of plane orders.
However, Comac&#8217;s slow production rate means it is not in a position to quickly fill these orders. This situation could inadvertently benefit Airbus, another major player in the aviation industry.

By involving aircraft in the trade war with the U.S., China is unintentionally exposing a vulnerability, emphasizing the U.S.&#8217;s influence over Comac.
The company&#8217;s leading commercial aircraft model, the C919, is airworthy due to critical technology from U.S. companies including GE Aerospace, Honeywell International, and RTX.
Despite China&#8217;s efforts to promote the C919 as a competitor&nbsp;to the Boeing 737 MAX&nbsp;and Airbus A320neo, only about 16 C919s are currently flying commercially, all of which are operating domestically in China.
Why It Matters: The ongoing tariff dispute between the U.S. and China has seen the Trump administration raise tariffs on Chinese <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44831287/trump-administration-imposes-up-to-245-tariff-on-chinese-imports-amid-intensifying-trade-battle">imports by up to 245%</a>.
This has led to China&#8217;s ban on deliveries from Boeing (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>), drawing the attention of President Donald Trump towards the company&#8217;s significant role in <a href="https://benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44837703/chinas-ban-on-boeing-could-be-short-lived-but-trump-administration-cant-ignore-trade-fallout-warns-analyst">China's retaliation strategy</a>, as highlighted by Bank of America (BofA).
On his part, President Trump has called upon <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44832771/the-ball-is-in-chinas-court-trump-says-as-white-house-awaits-beijings-call-china-needs-to-make-a-deal-with-us">China to initiate negotiations</a>.

China's Boeing Ban Could Backfire On Its Own Aircraft Manufacturer, Comac

Chinese Vice Premier&nbsp;He Lifeng&nbsp;has extended an invitation to U.S. enterprises, including&nbsp;Nvidia Corporation&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), to enhance their footprint in the Chinese market.
What Happened: During a meeting with Nvidia&#8217;s CEO&nbsp;Jensen Huang&nbsp;in Beijing, He Lifeng,&nbsp;also a member of the&nbsp;Political Bureau of the Communist&nbsp;Party of China Central Committee,&nbsp;highlighted the immense investment and consumption potential of the Chinese market, as per a&nbsp;state media agency <a href="https://english.www.gov.cn/news/202504/17/content_WS68010c29c6d0868f4e8f1d40.html">Xinhua </a>on Friday.
He Lifeng highlighted that China&#8217;s ongoing industrial transformation and upgrade create an ideal environment for the new wave of technological and industrial advancements. He also emphasized that China has long been a promising destination for foreign-funded enterprises to invest and engage in trade.
He Lifeng urged U.S.-funded companies, including Nvidia, to focus more on the Chinese market and fully leverage their industrial strengths and capabilities in China, thereby gaining an advantage in global competition.

Why It Matters: This invitation comes at a crucial time when the U.S. has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44858727/jensen-huang-in-china-for-talks-as-us-tightens-nvidia-chip-restrictions-report">tightened restrictions </a>on Nvidia&#8217;s chip sales to China. Nvidia&#8217;s CEO Jensen Huang was in Beijing for discussions with Xi Jinping&#8216;s officials and tech leaders about the implications of the U.S.&#8217;s decision to impose further restrictions on its sales in the country.
The Nvidia CEO expressed confidence in China&#8217;s economic outlook and reiterated Nvidia&#8217;s commitment to expanding its presence in the Chinese market, as per the Chinese government. He also emphasized the company&#8217;s intention to actively contribute to fostering economic and trade cooperation between the United States and China.
Interestingly, this week, Nvidia revealed plans to establish AI servers in the U.S. valued at <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44799936/nvidia-to-build-500b-ai-infrastructure-in-us-in-the-next-four-years-details">up to $500 billion</a>. President Donald Trump later asserted that his re-election was the driving force behind Nvidia&#8217;s decision.
Gary Ng, senior economist at Natixis, shared with the BBC that the latest developments indicate global technology is becoming more polarized between &#8220;two systems,&#8221; one led by the US and the other by China. &#8220;Tech will be less global in that sense, and it will be subject to more restrictions,&#8221; stated the senior economist.
Meanwhile, Nvidia stock dropped 6.66% over the past five days, while Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) lost 3.79% during the same period.

Xi Jinping's Minister Urges Nvidia, US Firms To Invest More In China During Meeting With Jensen Huang, Despite Chip Export Curbs

The turmoil in U.S. equity markets has spooked foreign investors, leading to massive outflows over the past week, as tariff-related uncertainties continue to persist.
What Happened: According to a research note by Bank of America Global Research, foreign investors dumped $6.5 billion worth of U.S. equities last week, marking its second-largest amount on record, the first being the $7.5 billion in outflows during the banking crisis of 2023.

Market observers on X have added more context to this statistic. The Kobeissi Letter, a popular capital markets newsletter, noted that foreign investors own 20% of the U.S. equity market, worth $18.5 trillion, and 30% of treasuries, amounting to $7.2 trillion, and $4.2 trillion, or 30% of the corporate debt market.
&#8220;Foreign investors want out amid the volatility,&#8221; it said.

Peter Schiff, a vocal critic of the tariffs, took a potshot a President Donald Trump.

He reiterated the same point in the accompanying video, while adding that &#8220;whenever the government wants to do something, the opposite is what happens.&#8221;

This has been attributed to foreign investors losing faith in American assets.
While this has been a growing narrative in recent weeks, there are others with a contrarian take, such as Tom Lee of Fundstrat Global Advisors, who said earlier this week that he <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44806892/tom-lee-rejects-end-of-american-exceptionalism-narrative-says-says-us-still-home-to-worlds-best-companies-despite-dollar-yield-fears">does not believe</a> the "America in decline" or "end of American exceptionalism&#8221; narratives.

Leading And Lagging Sectors For April 18, 2025

Bitcoin exchange-traded funds have seen volatile flows in recent days, mirroring the broader unease in financial markets as geopolitical tensions and economic uncertainty—particularly the ongoing tariff war with China—continue to weigh on investor sentiment. Despite this shakiness, Bitcoin's price action has defied some of the bearish signals, revealing a potentially deeper story beneath the surface.
What is a Bitcoin ETF?
A Bitcoin ETF is a financial product that allows investors to gain exposure to Bitcoin without actually holding or managing the digital asset directly. These ETFs track the price of Bitcoin and are traded on traditional stock exchanges, making them an appealing gateway for both retail and institutional investors. For those who want access to Bitcoin's upside potential without the complexity of wallets, private keys, or crypto exchanges, ETFs offer a familiar and regulated on-ramp.
Don't Miss:

<li><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">Are you rich?</a> Here&#8217;s what Americans think you need to be considered wealthy.</li>
</ul>
They also open the door for traditional asset managers and retirement accounts to allocate capital to Bitcoin more seamlessly. That combination of accessibility, regulatory structure, and liquidity is what makes BTC ETFs attractive in a market that's still maturing.
The Key Players: IBIT, FBTC, GBTC
Currently, the top three ETFs dominating trading volume and attention are BlackRock's IBIT, Fidelity's FBTC, and Grayscale's GBTC. These funds not only lead in volume but also in total Bitcoin holdings.
As of the most recent data:
• IBIT holds the largest allocation with 570,000 BTC,
• FBTC is second with 207,000 BTC, and
• GBTC comes in third at 190,000 BTC.
These holdings highlight how significant these vehicles have become in terms of institutional and retail Bitcoin exposure.
Trending: It&#8217;s no wonder Jeff Bezos holds over $250 million in art — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">this alternative asset has outpaced the S&amp;P 500 since 1995, delivering an average annual return of 11.4%. Here&#8217;s how everyday investors are getting started.</a>
Outflows and the Price Puzzle
Over the past few days, Bitcoin ETF flows have turned red—signaling net outflows across the major funds. In other words, more capital has been leaving these ETFs than entering them. This would typically be interpreted as bearish for Bitcoin, especially given the size and influence these funds have.
However, what's particularly interesting is that Bitcoin's price has actually rebounded during this period, rather than falling further. This divergence suggests there may be a lag between ETF flows and spot price movement, or that other forces—such as direct buying on exchanges or futures market dynamics—are playing a stronger role in short-term price action.

Mixed Signals
ETF flows can offer a glimpse into institutional sentiment, but they don't always tell the full story. In a complex environment where macro factors, geopolitical issues, and crypto-native trends all collide, it's worth keeping an eye on both the flows and the price action—but understanding that one doesn't always immediately dictate the other.
As Bitcoin continues to integrate more deeply into traditional financial systems, tools like ETFs will remain essential for tracking demand. For now, the market is sending mixed signals, and that may be the clearest message of all.

Bitcoin ETF Flows Turn Negative — But Price Rebounds, Defying the Trend

Estee Lauder Cos's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EL#NYSE">EL</a>) short percent of float has fallen 11.42% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 8.11 million shares sold short, which is 3.49% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.8 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?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">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.

<h3>Comparing Estee Lauder Cos'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://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Estee Lauder Cos's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 6.15%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

VSEC

Peering Into VSE's Recent Short Interest

U.S. stock markets will be closed on Friday, April 18, in observance of Good Friday, a Christian holiday that commemorates the crucifixion and death of Jesus Christ.
US Stock Market Resumes On Monday
While Good Friday isn&#8217;t a federal holiday, the U.S. stock market remains closed on that day. The Nasdaq and New York Stock Exchange will be closed on Friday and will reopen on Monday, April 21. According to the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association, the U.S. bond market will close early at 2 p.m. ET on Thursday and remain closed on Friday.
Following the Good Friday closure, Wall Street will operate normally until its next scheduled break on Monday, May 26, in observance of Memorial Day.
What About Global Markets?
Additionally, stock markets in Australia, Germany, France, Singapore, and the UK (London Stock Exchange) will be closed on April 18. Also, the Hong Kong stock market remains closed on Good Friday and Monday, April 21. However, all MSCI and currency derivatives products will be open for trading.
Notable exceptions are Japan and mainland China stock markets, which will remain open as usual.
Are Banks Open On Good Friday?
According to the Federal Reserve, most banks will remain open on Good Friday, though the working hours could be modified. Please check the bank&#8217;s website before visitng. 
Will The Mail And Postal Service Operate Today?
U.S. Postal Service facilities will operate as usual with regular mail delivery, and both UPS and FedEx services will also continue without interruption.
Is It A State Holiday?
Good Friday is recognized as a state holiday in twelve states, though it is not a Federal Holiday. These states are: Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Hawaii, Indiana, Louisiana, North Carolina, North Dakota, New Jersey, Tennessee, Texas, and Kentucky, which observe it for one and a half days.
Significance Of This Holiday
Good Friday marks the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, which Christians believe was a sacrificial act to atone for humanity&#8217;s sins. Though the day is solemn, it is called &#8216;good&#8217; because it paves the way for Easter Sunday—the celebration of Jesus's resurrection, symbolizing triumph over death and the promise of new life.
