Dan Ives&#8216; new artificial intelligence exchange-traded fund (ETF) holds securities beyond the Magnificent 7 stocks, as he believes in looking past valuations for investments in the technology sector.
What Happened: The Dan IVES Wedbush AI Revolution ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IVES#NYSE">IVES</a>), managed by the Wedbush analyst, started trading on June 4, earlier this month.
Ives <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/new-etfs/25/06/45774136/wedbush-launches-ai-revolution-etf-backed-by-dan-ives-proprietary-tech-picks">boasts of the fund</a> by saying that it just doesn&#8217;t have the top four, five Magnificent 7 names, but stocks which investors wouldn&#8217;t even thematically consider as an AI name today. 
"I believe the market is still massively underestimating what the growth is going to look like for the AI revolution in tech," he told CNBC.
According to him, tech trade remains significant even for the investors who missed out on its growth in the past few years.
"If you focus just on valuation, you miss every transformational tech stock of the last 20 years," Ives said.
Ives says Oracle Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>) will be the &#8220;epicenter&#8221; of the AI theme, while highlighting other &#8216;AI 30&#8217; stocks which are part of his fund.
Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>), International Business Machines Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBM#NYSE">IBM</a>), Salesforce Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRM#NYSE">CRM</a>), SoundHound AI Inc.

(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INOD#NASDAQ">INOD</a>) are a few notable names that are a part of his ETF&#8217;s &#8216;AI 30&#8217; basket.
Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), and Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>) are the top three holdings of the IVES fund.

Why It Matters: The &#8216;AI 30&#8217; stocks, which are a part of the IVES ETF, hold the AI plays from multiple industries. They include hyperscalers, cybersecurity, consumer platforms, and robotics. According to Ives, the list was compiled from his deep dives into major AI players.
The ETF has $183 million in assets under management as of June 17 close. Ives said that the AI space was experiencing a "golden age."
The Dan IVES Wedbush AI Revolution ETF has risen by 2.76% since its inception. A comparable index, S&amp;P Kensho Global Artificial Intelligence Enablers, rose 6.08% on a month-to-date basis.
Meanwhile, the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) and Invesco QQQ Trust ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), which track the S&amp;P 500 index and Nasdaq 100 index, respectively, declined slightly on Wednesday. The SPY was down 0.015% at $597.44, while the QQQ was 0.017% lower at $528.99, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a> data.

A 30-year-old dentist sparked a fiery discussion on <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/whitecoatinvestor/comments/1l1ixs8/i_cant_wrap_my_head_around_the_statistic_thrown/">Reddit</a> after questioning a widely shared statistic they saw on Instagram that claims one in four doctors over 60 has a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/12/42380919/22-of-people-think-net-worth-only-applies-to-the-rich-heres-the-average-net-worth-and-how-to-calculate-yours">net worth</a> of less than $1 million.
Posting on the popular r/whitecoatinvestor subreddit, the dentist pushed back on what they called a suspiciously high figure.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Dentist Calls Out The Stat, Says It Doesn&#8217;t &#8216;Pass The Sniff Test&#8217;</h2>
&#8220;I saw a post on Instagram that said a quarter of doctors in their 60s still have under 1 mil net worth. That just does not pass the sniff test,&#8221; the dentist wrote. &#8220;Pretty much any MD that does a basic 401(k) match and does the classic &#8216;buy too much house&#8217; will hit 1m easily.&#8221;
Don't Miss:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Maker of the $60,000 foldable home has 3 factory buildings, 600+ houses built, and big plans to solve housing — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/boxabl-scaling-fast-from-spacex-orders-to-600-homes-built-this-60k-foldable-home-may-be-the-future-of-housing">this is your last chance to become an investor for $0.80 per share.</a></li>

</ul>
The dentist argued that even with minimal effort, a long medical career should result in substantial net worth. &#8220;Even a moron usually takes the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/10/41637280/i-make-23-80-an-hour-and-my-employer-offers-a-15-401-k-contribution-match-is-this-a-good-deal-or">401(k) match</a>, and a moron buys too much house etc. But a moron will hit 1m if they only save 6% with the 401(k) match for 30 years.&#8221;
They went even further, pointing out how the stat doesn&#8217;t add up based on income levels alone: &#8220;Most teachers easily hit that making 1/10th a doc salary.&#8221;
Personal finance expert Dave Ramsey <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/04/45056965/dave-ramsey-says-doctors-and-lawyers-are-like-actors-notoriously-bad-with-money-just-because-you-make-a-lot-doesnt-mean-youre-winning">echoed a similar concern</a> about doctors&#8217; financial habits, comparing them to actors and musicians. &#8220;Medical doctors are about as notorious as people in the music business or the acting world for being stupid with money,&#8221; he said in a Facebook <a href="https://www.facebook.com/reel/1219648489680293">video</a>. &#8220;Only they add a level of arrogance to it because they&#8217;re so freakin smart.&#8221;
But commenters quickly filled in the gaps that the dentist might be missing.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Divorce, Spending And Poor Financial Choices</h2>
Commenters shared story after story about how some doctors end up with less than $1 million by retirement. The most common culprit: divorce.
&#8220;Divorce is crazy. My buddy is paying three women alimony right now. In total it&#8217;s north of 40k a month,&#8221; one person wrote. Another claimed, &#8220;I had to pay my ex 5.5M.&#8221;
Some pointed out that even highly paid doctors fall into the trap of overspending. &#8220;I had one doctor who cleared $60k a month and he was spending $70k a month and had ZERO savings,&#8221; an accountant commented.
Others mentioned delayed earnings and student debt. Many doctors start working in their 30s, which leaves less time for compounding. One commenter described an ear, nose and throat surgeon in his 50s still paying off student loans and unable to help his kid with college costs, despite over 20 years in practice.
As one person summarized the issue: &#8220;There are plenty of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/08/40583428/you-cant-earn-your-way-out-of-stupidity-dave-ramsey-on-why-60k-earning-teachers-often-become-mil">millionaire teachers</a> and plenty of broke doctors. High-income profession doesn&#8217;t guarantee anything.&#8221;
See Also: Can you guess how many retire with a $5,000,000 nest egg? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/5mil-nest-egg-adv">The percentage may shock you</a>.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Dentist Still Isn&#8217;t Convinced</h2>
Despite the flood of stories, the dentist wasn't ready to back down. &#8220;I just don't see that as possible that 1/4 do that poorly,&#8221; they wrote. &#8220;Millionaire by age 60 is not a flex,&#8221; they added. &#8220;Docs need to have more like 5m to be patted on the back.&#8221;
One retired dentist chimed in with a sobering take: &#8220;Docs are the poor of the rich.&#8221;&nbsp;
For the dentist, the financial fate of most doctors should be clear-cut: &#8220;I think every single one of my classmates will hit 1m by 60 as long as they work their career till 60. Even the ones that are complete morons.&#8221;

Reuters Citing Sources Familiar With Trade Talks Say European Officials Increasingly Resigned To 10% Baseline Rate On Reciprocal Tariffs In Any U.S.-EU Trade Deal

Wallbox (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WBX#NYSE">WBX</a>), a leading provider of electric vehicle (EV) charging and energy management solutions, has announced a collaboration with charge point operator PowerGo to accelerate the deployment of AC and DC charging infrastructure across Essendi hotels in the Netherlands. This collaboration brings together Wallbox's advanced charging technology and PowerGo's renewable energy-powered infrastructure to support the country's growing demand for sustainable mobility.
The installations will feature Wallbox's Em4, a robust AC charger designed for high-traffic environments, and Supernova, the company's high-efficiency DC fast charger. Both models are designed to support a seamless user experience, remote management, and integration with renewable energy sources, aligned with PowerGo's green charging solutions.
The collaboration has already reached key milestones, starting with Mercure Amsterdam City, where the first installation became operational. Since May, guests and visitors have been able to charge their EVs at six 22 kW AC charging points, with two 150 kW DC charging points planned to be installed once the upgraded grid connection is in place. In June, Novotel Amsterdam City also became operational, offering two 150 kW DC and six 22 kW AC charging points. These installations mark the beginning of a potential broader rollout within Essendi's hotel portfolio in the Netherlands.
Upcoming installations are expected at multiple hotel locations in the provinces of North Holland and South Holland, including the Ibis and Ibis Budget Amsterdam Airport hotels at Schiphol, as well as the Novotel in Rotterdam Brainpark.

Sen.&nbsp;Elizabeth Warren&nbsp;(D-Mass.) has raised concerns about a major retirement plan provider&#8217;s intent to offer private equity and credit investments within 401(k) accounts.
What Happened: In a letter obtained <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/06/18/elizabeth-warren-private-equity-empower-401k">by</a> Axios, Warren, the top Democrat on the Senate Banking Committee, addressed Empower's CEO, probing the company's rationale for introducing private equity into defined contribution plans.
She asked how the firm determined this move aligns with the best interests of its clients, requested details on investment allocations, and inquired about any legal advice the firm received.
Empower has not yet rolled out the program but has noted plans to include investor safeguards such as fee reductions and liquidity measures.

Why It Matters: Supporters of the shift argue it could offer everyday investors access to high-return opportunities traditionally reserved for wealthy individuals and institutions. The concept gained traction under the Trump administration as a way to democratize investment options.
However, critics like Warren argue it could jeopardize retirement savings due to private equity&#8217;s complex fee structures, limited transparency, and uneven performance record. She also highlighted emerging risks in the private credit market.
In March, reports emerged stating that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45536753/trump-eyes-retirement-overhaul-that-could-push-billions-from-401ks-into-high-stakes-private-equity-funds-report">President&nbsp;Donald Trump&nbsp;is considering a new executive order</a> that would push U.S. agencies to let private equity firms tap into the country&#8217;s huge&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45298194/interested-in-the-new-super-funding-401k-opportunity-heres-how-to-know-if-you-qualify" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">401(k) savings</a>&nbsp;pool, which is worth almost $9 trillion.

Elizabeth Warren Challenges Plan To Bring Private Equity Into 401(k)s, Citing Transparency And Fee Concerns

In a practical guide published by Ramsey Solutions, financial expert Dave Ramsey's team tells Americans what they need to know about Medicare.
What Happened: "What is Medicare and how does it work?" is a commonly asked question that reflects the anxiety many face when enrolling in Medicare. "So, why does this dang Medicare feel so confusing? Well, it was created by the government so that might be your first clue," Ramsey's <a href="https://www.ramseysolutions.com/insurance/what-is-medicare">guide</a> begins, moving onto a thorough explanation of how Medicare functions, what it covers, and when to enroll.
The Basics Explained: Medicare is a government-run health insurance program for Americans above 65 years old. It is divided into many parts:
Part A covers hospital stays, skilled nursing care, hospice, and some types of home care.
Part B includes doctor visits, outpatient care, home health services, and preventive screenings.
Part D helps cover prescription drug costs and certain vaccines.
Medicare Supplement (Medigap) plans, sold by private companies, aid with paying costs not covered by Original Medicare.
The guide explains that seniors have two main options:
Original Medicare (Parts A and B, with optional Part D and Medigap): This offers flexibility to see any provider who accepts Medicare without a referral.
Medicare Advantage (Part C): A bundled plan sold by private insurers that often includes drug coverage, but restricts applicants to network providers and may require referrals.
Ramsey also highlights the difference between Medicare, a federal health insurance for those 65 and older, covering hospital stays, doctor visits, and outpatient care regardless of income, and Medicaid, which is a need-based aid program for low-income individuals, entailing services like nursing home care and helping with Medicare costs.

Why It Matters: Retirees often encounter steep health care costs and complicated choices. The confusing array of options can feel like "staring at a crossword puzzle in a different language," Ramsey's guide notes. It also mentions that that most people find Original Medicare alone insufficient and need to consider supplemental coverage.
Ramsey's guide is a useful read when the topic of Medicaid is making headlines courtesy of President Donald Trump's "big, beautiful bill." The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45558613/house-advances-trumps-sweeping-one-big-beautiful-bill-after-key-medicaid-tax-and-border-security-changes">version of the bill which passed the House</a> contains eligibility requirements that are projected to push <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45716936/speaker-mike-johnson-says-4-8-million-wont-lose-medicaid-unless-they-choose-to-do-so-calls-gop-cuts-an-important-and-frankly-heroic-thing">4.8 million people outside the purview of Medicaid</a>.
On Monday, Senate Republicans presented their version of the bill, which includes policy changes pertaining to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45967060/senate-republicans-unveil-trump-tax-and-health-plan-with-5-trillion-debt-ceiling-hike-tighter-medicaid-rules-in-the-big-beautiful-bill">semi-annual&nbsp;Medicaid eligibility redeterminations</a>.

Dave Ramsey Asks, 'Why Does This Dang Medicare Feel So Confusing?'—Blames Government, Then Offers Seniors A Clear Path Forward

Collaboration delivered a successful solution for the most complex known protein folding problem ever executed on a quantum computer
Kipu Quantum, a leader in application and hardware-specific quantum computing solutions, and IonQ (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IONQ#NYSE">IONQ</a>), a leading commercial quantum computing and networking company, proudly announced a record achievement: the successful solution of the most complex known protein folding problem ever executed on a quantum computer.
This joint effort is the largest known quantum computation of its kind to-date, and demonstrates the synergy between Kipu's innovative algorithmic framework and IonQ's state-of-the-art hardware.
In their latest study, the teams solved:
<ul>
<li>The largest known protein folding problem solved and executed on quantum hardware, comprising a 3D use case of up to 12 amino acids — an industry record on its own and a promising path towards commercial use of quantum computing for drug discovery.</li>
<li>All-to-all connected spin-glass problems (QUBO) and MAX-4-SAT problems (HUBO) using up to 36 qubits, obtaining optimal solutions in all instances — an industry record for dense digital quantum computing problems executed on quantum hardware.</li>
</ul>
All instances were executed on IonQ's Forte generation systems using Kipu Quantum's flagship BF-DCQO (Bias-Field Digitized Counterdiabatic Quantum Optimization) algorithm. The results advance the frontier of near-term quantum computing and have the potential to make a large impact on biology and drug development.
BF-DCQO provides a non-variational, iterative method that is both accurate and resource-efficient. This algorithm can achieve better solutions with fewer quantum operations in each subsequent iteration. This is especially critical for protein folding, where several long-range interactions are present, making the all-to-all connectivity of IonQ's trapped ion systems an important asset.

The Los Angeles Lakers are reportedly on the verge of being sold for a blockbuster price. While the absolute returns on the investment sound incredible, analysts on X are quick to point out that it&#8217;s not nearly as impressive as it seems.
What Happened: On Wednesday, it was reported that the Buss family, longtime owners of the Los Angeles Lakers, is preparing to sell the franchise for a staggering $10 billion. That's a jaw-dropping leap from the $68 million the late Jerry Buss paid for it in 1979.
This represents a monumental 15,284% return. But viewed through the lens of long-term compounding, some analysts say that it's far from exceptional.

Users point out that adjusted for inflation, Buss' 1979 investment is equivalent to about $280 million in today's dollars. That makes the real multiple closer to 36x. 
Over 45 years, this equates to a compounded annual return of just under 10.5%, roughly in line with the S&amp;P 500's historical average. And that's before taxes, reinvestment risks and the operational headaches of running an NBA franchise.
Popular X user, Trung Phan, compares the investment relative to the performance of the S&amp;P 500 over the years, concluding that a $68 million investment in the S&amp;P 500 in 1979 would now be worth $13 billion. &#8220;So the Buss family underperformed by $3B,&#8221; he says.
However, Phan acknowledges that the &#8220;infinite cultural clout&#8221; that this investment brought the family might be well worth it, referring to the Lakers&#8217; 11 Championship wins over the years, alongside the remarkable brand and pop-culture legacy that&#8217;s been cemented over the years.

TRC's offer of $100 per ExxonMobil share is 4.1% below the closing price on June 6, 2025, on the New York Stock Exchange, the last trading day prior to opening of the offer. It is also more than 10% below its closing price yesterday.
ExxonMobil recommends that stockholders do not tender their shares in response to TRC's offer because the offer has a conditional market price for ExxonMobil's shares of $99.06 each and is subject to numerous other conditions. ExxonMobil is not affiliated or associated in any way with TRC, its mini-tender offer, or the offer documentation.
TRC has made similar mini-tender offers for shares of other companies. Mini-tender offers seek to acquire less than 5 percent of a company's shares outstanding, thereby avoiding many disclosure and procedural requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that apply to offers for more than 5 percent of a company's shares outstanding. As a result, mini-tender offers do not provide investors with the same level of protections as provided by larger tender offers under U.S. securities laws.
