Exchange traded funds (ETFs) trade just like stocks, but instead of ''shares'' investors are actually buying and selling ''units''. These ''units'' can be traded back and forth just like stocks, but can also be created or destroyed to accommodate investor demand. Each week we monitor the week-over-week change in shares outstanding data, to keep a lookout for those ETFs experiencing notable inflows (many new units created) or outflows (many old units destroyed). Creation of new units will mean the underlying holdings of the ETF need to be purchased, while destruction of units involves selling underlying holdings, so large flows can also impact the individual components held within ETFs.

Amazon ( AMZN ) founder Jeff Bezos said he supports eliminating taxes for lower-income Americans, arguing that reducing the burden is not enough and that “there’s something very powerful about zero.” Speaking in an interview with CNBC, Bezos tied the idea to his family story. He described his father, a Cuban immigrant who arrived in the United States at 16 after Fidel Castro took power, speaking no English and entering the country alone through a refugee camp in the Everglades. He also spoke about his mother, who had him at 17 while still in high school in Albuquerque, New Mexico. “I want to make sure that the people who are struggling today have a chance to bring themselves up,” Bezos said, adding that some of them could become “the next Steve Jobs.” According to CNBC, Bezos pointed to the existing tax distribution, noting that the top 1% of taxpayers pay 40% of all tax revenue while the bottom half pay just 3%. "I don't think it should be 3%," Bezos said. "I think it should be zero." "I don't want to reduce it. I want to eliminate it," he added. "I think there's something very powerful about zero." He drew a comparison to Amazon's free shipping policy, noting that zero is categorically better than even a small number when people are starting out. Bezos added that he plans to advocate publicly for the idea, saying he has worked with every U.S. president since Bill Clinton and believes business leaders should share policies they think could genuinely help people. The comments marked one of Bezos’ clearest public endorsements of a tax policy proposal focused specifically on lower-income households.

Techa Tungateja/iStock via Getty Images Criminals have shifted their focus to scams targeting individuals rather than exploiting vulnerabilities in payment networks to steal, Visa ( V ) said in its Spring 2026 Biannual Threats Report on Wednesday. Scams have become the fastest-growing source of consumer harm as criminals harness artificial intelligence and social engineering to manipulate people to authorize payments to them. Instead of trying to breach technology in payment networks, scammers are impersonating trusted brands and institutions, manufacturing urgency, and deceiving victims into completing legitimate-looking transactions, the report said. "Criminals are increasingly targeting people rather than technology, using deception, urgency, and AI-enabled tools to exploit trust," Paul Fabara , c hief risk and client services officer at Visa ( V ) said. "Addressing this shift requires continuous innovation at the network level and close collaboration across banks, merchants, policymakers, and the broader payments ecosystem." The report highlighted four trends in the global: Fraud involving device tokens fell 9.6% from July 2025 to December 2025 compared with the same period in 2024. Scams are accelerating. Criminals are using AI to scale more convincing scams, and defenders are increasingly using AI to detect and stop attacks earlier in the transaction cycle. Ransomware isn't as effective as it once was. Activity increased 26% in the last half of 2025 vs. the same period in 2024, but only 23% of victims paid ransoms — the lowest rate on record. Earlier in the month, Federal Reserve Vice Chair for Supervision Michelle Bowman called for a multifaceted approach to combat financial fraud across government agencies. More on Visa Visa Inc.

Philadelphia has spotted an opportunity. A chance to burnish a budding reputation as one of the East Coast’s most pleasant and interesting big cities – in the view of this columnist, at least – and one of its most affordable, too. The ample offering of public transportation to the six 2026 World Cup matches slated for Lincoln Financial Field (dubbed Philadelphia Stadium for the tournament, as per Fifa’s sponsor rules) will set fans back a mere $2.90. Tickets to see those matches are somehow getting cheaper on the secondary market – down about 16% from last month. Hotels are still reasonably priced. And fan fests will remain free for every day of the tournament. There will be no getting charged three times as much for shade, either, as you will in Los Angeles. “We’ve been working on this for a significant amount of time,” Meg Kane, host city executive for Philadelphia’s local organizing committee told the Philadelphia Inquirer. “We have always really put the fan experience at the center of what we wanted to build the Fifa World Cup in Philadelphia around.” So much of the narrative about this summer’s World Cup has centered on high prices – either due to Fifa’s pursuit of maximum revenue – which it says will be ploughed back into the sport’s grassroots – or local authorities’ quest to recoup the significant costs, or some combination of the two. But Philadelphia is one of several of the 11 World Cup host cities in the United States to have found some breathing room within this oppressive climate. Here and there, along the margins, a few brave parts of a few brave cities have carved out a little daylight, a spot for them to put fans first. With match tickets priced similarly to a car, which even chief World Cup cheerleader Donald Trump said he would balk at, and the rocketing rates for hotel rooms – which are coming right back down in the absence of robust demand – the latest assault on the wallet was transportation. Train tickets from New York City to MetLife Stadium ...

Image source: Getty Images Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) stock today is synonymous with the AI robotics revolution. Through its driverless taxis and Optimus humanoids, it plans to pioneer two multi-trillion dollar markets over the next 20 years. However, what puts me off today is the starting valuation. With a mammoth $1.27trn market cap, Tesla’s trading at 208 times forward earnings. This high multiple makes it far more difficult to produce explosive returns. Of course, I may be wrong, as Elon Musk’s firm could go on to become even larger. But I’m looking for a robotics company that’s much smaller today. Here’s one that interests me. An emerging physical AI powerhouse? I’m talking about XPeng (NYSE:XPEV), the Chinese EV maker that’s doing a Tesla by morphing into a physical AI company. How so? Well, as cut-throat competition in the Chinese EV market intensifies, the company has been pivoting to robotaxis and humanoid robots. Its super-powerful Turing chips are inside both. Indeed, when the firm unveiled its next-generation IRON humanoid in November, many spectators accused XPeng of putting a human in a suit because the bot’s gait was so fluid. To prove them wrong, engineers did something straight out of The Terminator — they cut open the robot’s leg to expose the wiring underneath! Then earlier this week, the company announced that its first mass-produced robotaxi had rolled off the production line in Guangzhou. By early 2027, it aims to have fully driverless rides with no safety officers inside. I believe XPeng is at a historical inflection point for Physical AI applications. Our goal is not only to grow our global market share of AI-defined vehicles and bridge the gap from L2+ assisted driving to L4 autonomous driving, but also to bring our second-generation VLA model to international markets and achieve scale production of advanced humanoid robots. CEO Xiaopeng He. Some worries I have Last year, Xpeng delivered 429,445 vehicles, an impressive 126% year-on-year increase. R...

There's an old saying on Wall Street about insider buying: there are many possible reasons to sell a stock, but only one reason to buy. Back on May 14, AECOM's CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, Troy Rudd, invested $300,059.50 into 4,225 shares of ACM, for a cost per share of $71.02. Bargain hunters tend to pay particular attention to insider buys like this one, because presumably the only reason an insider would take their hard-earned cash and use it to buy stock of their company in the open market, is that they expect to make money. In trading on Wednesday, bargain hunters could buy shares of AECOM (Symbol: ACM) and achieve a cost basis even cheaper than Rudd, with shares changing hands as low as $70.44 per share. AECOM shares are currently trading down about 0.4% on the day. The chart below shows the one year performance of ACM shares, versus its 200 day moving average: Looking at the chart above, ACM's low point in its 52 week range is $67.64 per share, with $135.52 as the 52 week high point — that compares with a last trade of $70.48. By comparison, below is a table showing the prices at which ACM insider buying was recorded over the last six months: Purchased Insider Title Shares Price/Share Value 05/14/2026 Gaurav Kapoor CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER (PAO) 1,420 $71.12 $100,990.40 05/14/2026 Troy Rudd CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER 4,225 $71.02 $300,059.50 The current annualized dividend paid by AECOM is $1.24/share, currently paid in quarterly installments, and its most recent dividend ex-date was on 04/01/2026. Below is a long-term dividend history chart for ACM, which can be of good help in judging whether the most recent dividend with approx. 1.7% annualized yield is likely to continue.

BOSTON, May 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Researchers at Northeastern University's Institute for Intelligent Networked Systems (INSI) Open6G OTIC have successfully demonstrated the first open-source prototype of a massive MIMO (mMIMO) AI-RAN system. The demonstration marks a milestone in open, AI-native wireless systems by bringing together ORAN compliant massive MIMO hardware from AmpliTech Group, with open-source software from OpenAirInterface (OAI) and NVIDIA GPU-accelerated RAN intelligence, into a fully integrated, standards-compliant platform. The demonstration combined an Amplitech mMIMO O-RAN Category B radio unit, NVIDIA AI Aerial software for layer 1 and layer 2 RAN, and OAI's L2+ stack into a single cohesive system using exclusively open-source software. The INSI team showcased a two-stage precoding architecture combining a 4-layer CSI-feedback-based MIMO precoder accelerated on NVIDIA AI Aerial with a 64-antenna element codebook-based beamformer implemented in the CAT-B O-RU. This system demonstrated sustained throughput across multiple UEs under mobility conditions, enabled by proper beam management at layer 2. The results validate that a high-performance, GPU-accelerated AI-RAN architecture can be built and reproduced without reliance on proprietary, closed-stack solutions. Massive MIMO systems — which use large antenna arrays to serve multiple users simultaneously through spatial multiplexing — have historically required tightly integrated, vendor-specific implementations. This demonstration challenges that assumption by showing that the full stack, from the physical layer up through the RAN control plane, can be assembled from open, interoperable components. The Northeastern Open6G Open Testing and Integration Center had recently certified the AmpliTech Group mMIMO CAT-B RU for O-RAN conformance, a key step toward successful interoperability. "GPU-accelerated RAN processing has been a missing piece in the open ecosystem — powerful in principle but rarely ...

Alphabet's (GOOGL 0.64%) (GOOG 0.89%) Waymo recently issued a voluntary recall of its autonomous vehicles (AVs) -- about 3,800 in all -- which got a lot of attention. Apparently, when a self-driving car drives itself into a flooded road (thankfully, with no one inside) and gets swept away into a creek, people understandably freak out a little. But the mishap, along with additional reports of some Waymo vehicles struggling to navigate heavy rain and flooded roads, is likely a temporary issue for the company rather than an ongoing problem. And it's unlikely to negatively impact the company's long-term potential to tap into the nearly $2 trillion global AV market taking shape between now and 2035. How deep do you think that water is? After a handful of Waymos made very public driving mistakes in bad weather, the NHTSA began an initial probe in April. That led to Waymo issuing a voluntary recall, meaning the company proactively took its AV fleet off the streets in the 11 cities where it operates to address the issues. That's important to highlight because Waymo has, from the beginning of its formerly named Google self-driving car project, been very focused on safety. It may seem to some riders that Waymo cars are just popping up overnight in new cities, but the company has tested its AV software for more than a decade, with millions of real-world miles driven and billions of digital miles logged. Like any software (or human), Waymo's AVs can make mistakes. And it's not the first time Waymo AVs have. The vehicles were reported to have passed stopped school buses in error earlier this year. Waymo has issued software updates to fix the issues. Still, I think one of the major lessons from this mishap is that Waymo can make big changes to its entire fleet of vehicles by issuing a software update. We're all used to software updates on our devices, so it's easy to think that's not a big deal. But I actually think this move shows just how advanced Waymo's vehicles are. A large ...

Judge Blocks ICE Agents From Conducting Arrests At Immigration Courts In New York Authored by Aldgra Fredly via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours), A federal judge issued a ruling on May 18 barring federal agents from conducting arrests at three Manhattan immigration courts, except in limited circumstances. A federal officer stands by in a hallway at New York Federal Plaza Immigration Court inside the Jacob K. Javitz Federal Building in New York on October 1, 2025. Charly Triballeau / AFP via Getty Images The ruling by U.S. District Judge P. Kevin Castel stemmed from a lawsuit filed by the New York Civil Liberties Union and other groups on behalf of The Door and African Communities Together, which sought to challenge U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) policies that allow federal agents to arrest people in immigration courts. Castel had initially declined to block the policy last September, but the plaintiffs later filed a motion in response to a March letter in which the government admitted that the 2025 ICE guidance—which it had relied on to justify arrests at immigration courts following the lawsuit—“does not and has never applied” to civil immigration enforcement actions at immigration courts. In a 15-page ruling on May 18, Castel granted the plaintiffs’ request to stay the ICE policy, barring federal agents from arresting people at three Manhattan immigration courts —26 Federal Plaza, 201 Varick Street, and 290 Broadway—except under “certain enumerated circumstances.” “There is a strong governmental interest in enforcing immigration laws. There is also a serious interest of The Door to be free to assist its members in defending removal proceedings brought against them and pursuing defensive asylum applications before an [immigration judge] without fear of arrest,” Castel stated. The judge added that ICE agents are only allowed to make arrests at immigration courts when there are “serious threats of physical harm to public safety.” Castel also said the g...

RHJ/iStock via Getty Images China's government said Wednesday its export controls on certain rare earths and other minerals are legitimate and legal but will work with the U.S. on "reasonable" concerns, while also planning to speed up construction of strategic mineral reserve sites. Following President Trump's meeting in Beijing last week with China's President Xi, the Trump administration said China agreed to address concerns around shortages of rare earths such as yttrium and scandium as well as other critical minerals. In response to questions around the White House statement, China's Ministry of Commerce said both sides had discussed the issue and would study and resolve "each other's reasonable and lawful concerns." The two statements appear to reflect a new status quo where the U.S. tacitly accepts the export restrictions, while the White House said six months ago that the restrictions would be dismantled. The new regulations reported by the Xinhua state news agency set a minimum five-year term for strategic mineral resource reserves kept at their source, with post-term reviews by State Council authorities to determine extensions or adjustments.
