After over a decade, Steam will no longer sell physical gift cards in stores. In a support page spotted earlier by Windows Central , Valve says it will no longer restock its gift cards once they run out, citing scammers who "continue to have an impact on Steam customers and other unsuspecting individuals." In its post, Valve links to a Federal Trade Commission article outlining how gift card scammers attempt to convince victims to buy a gift card at a store and give them the code. Valve says it has responded to these scams by working with law enforcement, adding a warning to gift cards, and limiting their availability in stores, but "scammer … Read the full story at The Verge.

Scott Olson/Getty Images News The Commodity Futures Trading Commission has published proposed rules governing prediction markets, seeking public comment on amendments to prior regulations . The regulator said it has observed an increase in the number and variety of event contracts, and seeks to establish a structured framework for evaluating whether such contracts involve an activity linked to terrorism, assassination, war, gaming, or conduct that is unlawful under federal or state law. The CFTC said it will observe if such contracts are contrary to the public interest. The proposal, which sets out a 90-day review process, defines key statutory terms, including "involve" and "gaming". "This proposal gives the commission a durable, transparent framework to identify the contracts Congress directed us to scrutinize while letting legitimate markets move forward," said Chairman Michael Selig.

Sign up now! Sign up now! Sign up now? Sign up now! In case you missed it last week, there was a brilliant bit of camerawork in France’s warm-up match against the Côte d’Ivoire in Nantes. After the African side drew level through Guéla Doué, the camera immediately panned to his younger brother on the opposition bench, Desiré, as the unusued French substitute wore a wry smile as he watched the Côte d’Ivoire celebrations. If I’m still here today, it’s because the French team has won a lot of games. Otherwise, it could have ended before, whether I decided it or it was decided for me” – Didier Deschamps gets his chat on with Luke Entwistle as he heads for a swansong with Les Bleus at the GWC, discussing a legacy that no one – bar, perhaps, himself – would dare dispute. Re yesterday’s Football Daily : you are invited for lunch. The host does not allow your son to come, treats your wife with scorn, and asks your daughter to leave midway through. When you are ready to leave, he detains your wife and presents you with a hefty bill. Does it sound strange? Welcome to GWC 2026!” – Krishna Moorthy. Please pass on my thanks to David Squires, once again, for giving me the spine to metaphorically crumple up and toss into the waste bin this entire GWC spectacle. It was a bit shy of four years ago when a Squires cartoon depicting the deplorable working conditions of immigrants in Qatar gave me the strength to say sod off to the entire enterprise – and I had been watching games since the 1970 final, the first televised here in the USA USA USA. But I admit, as these games have drawn near I have felt myself weakening, looking for some rationale to justify paying attention once again. Then yesterday you presented us with his latest cartoon . It was the perfect reminder of what is truly the essential character of Fifa, my country’s political leaders and as a result, the GWC. So thank you Football Daily, and thank you David Squires!” – Mike Fichtner (and others). Jürgen Klinsmann may well...

J Studios/DigitalVision via Getty Images Wolfspeed, Inc. ( WOLF ) has shocking surged since coming out of bankruptcy while not showing any improving financial results. The silicon carbide company had forecasted some solid growth in the years ahead, but those growth opportunities still aren't materializing. My investment thesis is now Neutral on the stock due to the huge promise with silicon carbine technologies due to the ongoing electrification of the world offset by the lack of sales progress. Source: Finviz Another Blah Quarter About a month ago, Wolfspeed reported FQ3'26 revenues slipped to $150 million with forecasts for revenues potentially slipping to $140 million. The company has long predicted the massive opportunity in the power supply business due to EV and data center demand, but Wolfspeed has constantly failed to turn opportunity into expanding sales. The company has some positive development with AI data center revenue growing 30% sequentially. The problem is that the overall business is driven by automotive and Wolfspeed is only back in the qualification stage in the automotive business again. On the FQ3'26 earnings call , CEO Robert Feurle had the following to say about the automotive market: Therefore, we strengthened our team with experienced automotive executives and launched a focused strategy targeting key global accounts with high electric adoption, positioning Wolfspeed to capture the next wave of design wins . Given the qualification cycles of EV programs, our success from these engagements are expected to translate into revenue over time . In essence, the promising data center business isn't large enough to alter the financial visibility of the firm. Wolfspeed is too reliant on the struggling automotive unit for the data center business to move the needle anytime soon. Even the MOU with GE Aerospace ( GE ) underscored the current state of the business. The stock jumped on the companies working together to first develop standards for accelera...

Thomas Barwick/DigitalVision via Getty Images Now, more than six months have passed since my coverage on Willdan Group ( WLDN ). Since then, the company's stock price has had quite a rollercoaster. The AI infrastructure play surged to as high as $137 back in January before crashing to the high $60s in April . Now, volatility aside, Willdan Group presented roughly benchmark-like performance of 7% versus the S&P 500 at 8% since my last article here. WLDN: The Stock Presented Market-Like Performance Since My Last Piece (Seeking Alpha) How do I feel about the stock today? Quite frankly, more bullish than before. Why? To be fair, a few reasons. Now, multiples have compressed. And I find WLDN now fairly undervalued at roughly 20x forward P/E . On top of this, its fundamentals continue to improve given the announced margin expansion in its previous earnings report. And that makes me think its bottom-line growth could accelerate. So, fundamentals improve while the stock consolidates in a range. And I love this. I personally think another leg higher here could be around the corner. That's why I maintain my rating as Buy. Double-Miss Causes No Worries as Guidance Raised Higher Now, basically a month ago, the infrastructure company announced its most recent earnings . Sure enough, a double miss here on the surface appears awful. But the stock surged about 19% over the following trading session. Why's that? Quite frankly, I will tell right away that I loved this earnings report. This actually strengthens my bull case. And I also find catalysts developing favorably here. WLDN: Earnings History (Seeking Alpha) Now, I'd also love to highlight here that its recent earnings performance has been slightly shaky. Such inconsistency with misses here and there isn't something I like. But structurally, I don't see any significant concerns. But to my point, if management were to improve its performance and meet guidance further, I wouldn't be shocked by a rerating higher. At the end of the...

Footage appears to contradict Israeli military’s account of killing of seven-month-old Sam Abu Haikal in West Bank Footage has emerged that appears to contradict the Israeli military’s account of the shooting that killed seven-month-old Sam Abu Haikal in his mother’s arms, showing the family’s car slowing near a military post before soldiers opened fire. On Friday, the killing of the infant by Israeli troops in the occupied West Bank caused outrage, after soldiers opened fire on the family’s vehicle despite it having complied with an order to stop. Sam was killed and his mother, Daniyah Abu Haikal, and father, Fahed Abu Haikal, were both injured. Continue reading...
