The former Seahawks quarterback won a championship with Seattle and was a 10-time Pro Bowler. That doesn’t mean he’s seen as an all-time great When a quarterback makes 10 Pro Bowls, wins the Walter Payton Man of the Year Award, and leads his team to one Super Bowl win and (almost) another, you’d expect his Hall of Fame discussion would be fairly uncomplicated. But in the case of one Russell Carrington Wilson, who appeared to announce his retirement on Wednesday after 14 seasons to join CBS Sports as an analyst, that discussion is multi-layered – much like Wilson’s career and legacy.

On Monday, SpaceX amended its initial public offering to state that water conditions—including water scarcity, regulations around water, and drought—could constrain data center development. It isn’t the only tech company trying to assess how water scarcity might impact its business. Water use is emerging as one of the most contentious data center issues . A recent Gallup poll found that seven out of 10 Americans are opposed to data center development, with water scarcity ranking as the top resource concern. Facing increasingly fierce resistance, some tech companies are scrambling to assure the public that they’re facing the issue head-on. Data centers primarily use water to cool server racks, which throw off massive amounts of heat. One popular technique, known as evaporative cooling, uses fresh water to absorb the heat, which is then pumped to cooling towers where it evaporates outside. Read full article Comments

Listen and subscribe to Trillions on Apple , Spotify , iHeart and the Bloomberg Terminal. SpaceX is finally going public — and at a valuation that’s likely to make it one of the world’s biggest companies when it hits the market. So what happens when a company worth as much as $2 trillion suddenly needs to be folded into indexes, exchange-traded funds and portfolios built for a different era? On this episode of Trillions , Eric Balchunas and Joel Weber are joined by Bloomberg Intelligence analysts James Seyffart and Sharoon Francis to unpack the dawn of the mega-cap initial public offering. They explore how index providers are rewriting decades-old rules to accommodate SpaceX, why passive funds could become some of its biggest buyers, which ETFs and mutual funds already have exposure to the company and what it all means as other private giants — including OpenAI and Anthropic — prepare to enter the public markets. Money goes where it’s treated best. That simple truth is a big reason why more and more money (trillions of dollars, in fact) flows into a powerful, low-cost tool that’s quietly transformed investing. Exchange-traded funds let you invest in everything from the stock market to gold like never before. This biweekly podcast will demystify them—and hopefully delight you in the process.

Sundry Photography/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Where I went wrong Over the past couple of months, or at least since the beginning of the year, the decision to buy or sell Micron ( MU ) involves weighing unprecedented AI-driven growth against technical sell-window warnings and scepticism. Micron has demonstrated exceptional performance through late May of this year, now up over 56%. For most, a run of that magnitude flags caution, the kind I did not ignore, with my last coverage of Micron in early April being a sell. Needless to say, with the stock up 189% since then, that call has aged like milk. The Techie My last call wasn’t about the business; it was about the price, and that's exactly what ran me over. I downgraded the stock at $353.59 on the logic that Micron had "already paid for exceptional and was now being asked to pay for sustained exceptional." The business then delivered sustained exceptional results, and the market paid up for it. The stock closed on June 2nd at $1,064, nearly triple the price where I told you to step aside. The thesis I wrote down was that the easy money had been made. The easy money, as it turned out, was just starting. The same can’t be said about Micron at these levels, but I think the stock is now attractive on a pullback as momentum keeps spilling into the memory plays. Every concern I had is real and remains so at current levels, be it the capex raise or the margin ceiling math. I read Micron as a memory name late in a normal cycle, where overbought technicals and a sell-the-news reaction usually mark the top of the move. While the take was, and still is, that HBM4 sold out through 2026 was "real demand visibility,” the repricing since has been continuous, and I think that's how a stock behaves when the market stops pricing it as a memory company and starts pricing it as structurally short supply into a multi-year AI buildout. Micron crossed a $1 trillion valuation last Tuesday , SK hynix did the same, and the entire memory...

Taiyou Nomachi/DigitalVision via Getty Images Overview The Invesco High Yield Equity Dividend Achvrs ETF ( PEY ) is a solid ETF for investors that want to prioritize dividends and stability within their portfolio. When I previously covered PEY, I issued a hold rating and discussed how it underperforms some peer ETFs. However, I wanted to reassess PEY by taking a more focused look at the ETF to determine who this type of fund is actually for. I think there are some benefits that investors will enjoy from PEY, while there are also some tradeoffs that should be considered. Looking at the performance over the last twelve months, we can see that PEY's share price has increased by a little more than 10%. When including all distributions paid out to shareholders, the total return jumps up to roughly 15.5% over the same time frame. PEY now offers investors a starting dividend yield of about 4.5%, while issuing its payouts on a monthly basis. PEY also has a solid history of dividend growth over time, which can be ideal for investors that want to see their annual income compound over time with a straightforward buy-and-hold approach. Data by YCharts Ultimately, PEY provides exposure to some of the highest quality companies in the world, so I expect the ETF to do well. However, the defensive approach means that PEY is also likely to underperform over time. During a time of optimism and rapid expansion in the indices, investors should consider the opportunity risks. Furthermore, I believe that the fund has the potential to substantially increase its growth by making some slight adjustments to its allocation strategy to specific sectors. Fund Strategy According to the latest fund overview , PEY now has total assets of $1.05B that are spread across 51 different holdings. The fund's primary goal is to provide exposure to high quality dividend-paying companies that have a history of raising payouts. In order to achieve this goal, PEY only selects its holdings from the Nasdaq U.S. D...

Michael Vi/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Introduction Visa ( V ) is a company that ticks all our investment criteria. It commands strong, durable competitive advantages, operates a capital-light business model, and holds a near-monopoly status in the payment market. However, we are not the first to discover Visa's lucrative market position; it has also caught the attention of the U.S. Department of Justice ( DOJ ). There is an ongoing litigation risk against Visa, which has put a drag on the stock price. Visa, a company that previously traded at very lofty valuations, is now starting to look more appealing from a valuation perspective. In this article, we will establish a baseline valuation for the company using our DCF model and investigate two alternative scenarios, one with slower margin development as a result of the litigation risk and an optimistic scenario where margins continue to expand. Data by YCharts Data by YCharts Data by YCharts The DOJ’s antitrust lawsuit against Visa As stated in the DOJ's September 2024 complaint , "Visa illegally maintains a monopoly over debit network markets by using its dominance to thwart the growth of its existing competitors and prevent others from developing new and innovative alternatives." "More than 60% of debit transactions in the United States run on Visa’s debit network, allowing it to charge over $7 billion in fees each year for processing those transactions" Through this lawsuit, the DOJ seeks to "restore competition to this vital market on behalf of the American public." The DOJ's Case The DOJ's complaint focuses on three core pillars regarding Visa's business model. Exclusionary pricing structures: The complaint alleges that Visa "wields its dominance, enormous scale, and centrality to the debit ecosystem to impose a web of exclusionary agreements on merchants and banks. These agreements penalize Visa’s customers who route transactions to a different debit network or alternative payment system" Furthermore the...

Vertigo3d/iStock via Getty Images Bot traffic has overtaken human activity in a closely watched slice of the internet, underscoring how quickly AI ( AIQ ) agents and other automated systems are reshaping the web. Cloudflare ( NET ) Radar data shared by CEO Matthew Prince on Thursday showed bots accounting for 57.5% of worldwide HTTP requests to HTML content over the last seven days, versus 42.5% for humans. "Thought it would be end of 2027, then early 2027, but agentic traffic [is] growing so fast that bots have now passed human traffic online for the first time in the Internet's history," Prince wrote in a social media post. That is a narrower measure than all internet traffic, though it is still a striking milestone because HTML requests sit close to the core of ordinary web browsing and content consumption.
