Michael Dell defended a policy allowing charities to donate individual stocks into Trump Accounts for children, arguing it could spark financial literacy and interest in investing. Last week's rule change moved from index funds to automatic enrollment, with parents claiming accounts and a $1,000 seed for eligible children; annual contributions can reach $5,000, and employers may contribute. Dell and his wife have pledged $6.25 billion to invest $250 in Trump Accounts for 25 million children; more than 10 million children have already received the seed and $2.6 billion is invested. SpaceX President Gwynne Shotwell is the first major donor, pledging more than 2 million SpaceX shares to lower-income youths. Critics warn about tying a child's assets to a single stock and potential price manipulation; supporters say it will promote saving and understanding of capitalism and compounding.

Latest news
Microsoft unveiled the Nvidia-powered Surface Laptop Ultra in San Francisco, aiming to challenge Apple's MacBook Pro for AI workloads, video work, and gaming. Priced at $2,599, it uses an Arm-based Nvidia RTX Spark processor and offers up to 128GB of unified memory, enabling local AI model execution that could reduce cloud reliance. Demonstrations showed it running Gears of War: E Day, GitHub Copilot, and DaVinci Resolve simultaneously. Microsoft claims the device delivers 4.3x faster AI image generation than a MacBook Pro with an M5 Pro and 6.2x faster video generation. Executives spoke of hybrid AI capabilities and updates to improve AI agent security in Windows. The announcement reflects a broader shift toward on-device AI amid chip shortages and rising device costs.
Anthropic unveiled Claude Haiku 5.5, a lighter version promising stronger performance at far lower cost than Haiku 4.5. Haiku 5.5 targets quick, low-cost use cases, while higher-end tasks go to Sonnet, Opus, and Fable; Mythos remains a restricted, lower-safeguards variant for trusted members. Pricing: $0.10 per million input tokens and $0.50 per output token, about 75% cheaper on average than Haiku 4.5 and comparable to OpenAI’s GPT-6 Luna. The move intensifies AI pricing competition as firms seek cheaper open-weight models. Anthropic is pursuing an IPO before Thanksgiving, with S-1 showing $4.6B revenue in 2025 but a $42B loss; OpenAI is also eyeing a 2027 debut, amid concerns about rogue models and security. The industry remains pressured to rein in spending after the token-maxxing era.
Major U.S. stock indexes slipped at late-morning Wednesday after news that SpaceX may seek about $40 billion in financing for Nvidia chips and that a House panel labeled Webull a national security threat. The report ties heavy funding needs in space and defense-linked tech supply chains to broader market moves, while regulators escalate scrutiny of trading platforms. The midday Dow, S&P 500 and Nasdaq all traded lower as investors weigh technology financing bets against regulatory risk.
GE Vernova, spun off from GE in April 2024, is led by Power, Electrification, and Wind segments. Its stock surged to a record high around 1,174 on June 30, 2026, then traded near 1,000. Growth driven by Power and Electrification orders, offset by Wind's supply-chain and ops issues. By mid-2026, backlog reached $176.3 billion (4.6x 2025 revenue), with demand for gas turbines and grid modernization driving gains. Analysts expect 2025–2028 revenue and adjusted EBITDA to grow 17% and 60% CAGR, and a 25x EBITDA multiple could push fair value higher. If EBITDA reaches $32 billion by 2032, the stock could triple over five years. The piece also notes Motley Fool’s stock picks stance and references past Netflix/Nvidia performance as context.
