$100 Invested In Amazon.com 15 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown, one of the highest-paid players in the NFL, has been making headlines lately – not just for his on-field talent but for his unassuming lifestyle choices. Brown, who signed a $96 million contract extension last offseason, surprised fans when he pulled up to a playoff game in a modest $30,000 Honda Accord.

</ul>
While luxury cars are often the norm for athletes of his caliber, Brown's decision sparked a wave of admiration on social media. Many praised him for staying grounded despite his wealth. One <a href="https://x.com/Talmadge18/status/1881084987363192934">tweet</a> by wealth manager Adam Talmadge summed up the sentiment: "This should be praised, not shamed! 78% of NFL players experience financial stress within two years of leaving the league. Warren Buffett drives a 2014 Cadillac XTS! I see a man who understands financial responsibility."
The comparison to billionaire investor Warren Buffett isn't far off. Buffett, famously frugal, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/24/05/39040353/warren-buffett-drives-10-year-old-cadillac-bought-with-hail-damage">still drives a 2014 Cadillac XTS</a> he purchased with hail damage and lives in the same modest Omaha home he <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41107810/billionaire-warren-buffett-still-lives-in-an-old-corner-house-he-purchased-for-32k-i-couldnt-imagine">bought in 1958 for $31,500</a>.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Viral Moment That Resonates</h2>
This isn't the first time Brown has gone viral during the NFL playoffs. In the Eagles' Wild Card win over the Green Bay Packers, cameras caught him reading a self-help book, Inner Excellence by Jim Murphy, on the sidelines. The moment resonated so much with fans that it <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/psychology/25/01/42964097/nfl-star-helps-self-help-book-hit-1-on-amazon-my-teammates-call-it-the-recipe">catapulted the book to #1</a> on Amazon's charts. Brown explained that the book, which focuses on mental toughness and peak performance, helps him stay sharp on and off the field.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Brown's grounded approach to finances and mental health has won him admiration beyond football. In a league where players are often pressured to flaunt their wealth, his modest car and sideline reading habit symbolize his focus on long-term well-being.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why It Matters</h2>
Brown's actions remind us that wealth doesn't have to result in flashy spending. Statistics show that many NFL players face financial difficulties shortly after retirement, highlighting the importance of financial literacy and responsibility. Brown sets an example for athletes and fans by choosing a reliable and affordable car.
Buffett has often said that additional spending doesn't significantly improve the quality of life after a certain level of comfort. Similarly, Brown's decisions – from his car to his mental game – demonstrate a commitment to living intentionally, even in a world where excess is often celebrated.

Here's How Much You Would Have Made Owning United Airlines Holdings Stock In The Last 15 Years

OpenAI on Thursday released a research preview of a new AI agent called &#8220;Operator,&#8221; which uses the internet <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/artificial-intelligence">to perform a range of tasks</a>. 
Analysts are weighing in on which publicly traded companies could benefit <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/24/11/41964846/openais-operator-ai-agent-will-perform-tasks-like-coding-travel-booking-and-more-launch-expected-in-january-next-year-report">from the collaboration</a>.
Expert Ideas: Bank of America Securities analysts, led by Michael McGovern, highlighted Operator's capabilities. For example, it can:
<ul>
<li>Book rides from Uber Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBER#NYSE">UBER</a>)</li>
<li>Order from restaurants using DoorDash (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DASH#NASDAQ">DASH</a>) and</li>
<li>Add items to an order on Maplebear, Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CART#NASDAQ">CART</a>) Instacart platform. </li>
</ul>

BofA pointed to OpenAI's demonstration of Operator which shows the AI agent ordering food from Instacart using a recipe to add each ingredient to the shopping cart. The firm sees AI agents as especially helpful with "complex basket-building" of online grocery orders.&nbsp;
"In our view, grocery ordering online could become significantly easier with AI Agents, and expect DASH &amp; Uber would likely have the most relative benefit," the analysts wrote.&nbsp;&nbsp;
The collaborations with Uber, Instacart and DoorDash are in the early stages and BofA expects the possibility of long-term partnerships allowing for more streamlined and/or additional services offered. &nbsp;
OpenAI said that Operator employs a "Computer-Using Agent" model, which integrates GPT-4o's vision capabilities with advanced reasoning through reinforcement learning. This allows it to interact with graphical user interfaces (GUIs) without custom API integrations.
Operator is currently available to subscribers of OpenAI&#8217;s $200-per-month Pro tier in the U.S. and BofA expects expansion to subscribers on the $20-per-month tier later in 2025.

McCormick Eyes $1 Billion Deal To Acquire Duke's Mayonnaise Maker

Timothy Plan, the company behind 14 faith-based mutual funds, doubled the size of its biblically responsible investing (BRI) exchange traded funds lineup with the addition of two funds.

<h3>What Happened</h3>

On Monday, the issuer unveiled the Timothy Plan U.S. Small Cap Core ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="/stock/TPSC#NYSE">TPSC</a>) and the Timothy Plan International ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="/stock/TPIF#NYSE">TPIF</a>).

&ldquo;To continue our mission of providing Christians with relevant investment products that do not compromise their values, we are excited to again partner with Victory Capital to launch these two additional Timothy Plan ETFs,&rdquo; <a href="https://timothyplan.com/our-etfs/home.php">Timothy Plan founder Art Ally said in a statement</a>. &ldquo;This exciting news will help us to further glorify God by striving for excellence in all that we do.&rdquo;

Victory Capital has its own extensive lineup of ETFs, many <a href="https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/why-this-overlooked-dividend-etf-is-sauntering-to-new-highs-2019-10-24">of which focus on high dividend</a> and low volatility strategies. That company has $5.12 billion in ETF assets under management.

<h3>Why It&#39;s Important </h3>

The Timothy Plan U.S. Small Cap Core ETF is designed to be a faith-based alternative to traditional small-cap funds. TPSC tracks a volatility-weighted benchmark issued by Victory Capital that can mitigate some of the turbulence associated with smaller stocks.

&ldquo;A volatility weighted index assigns percentage values to each security in the Index based on the volatility of that security in the market. More volatile stocks have a lower weighting, and less volatile stocks are assigned a higher weighting,&rdquo; <a href="https://timothyplan.com/our-etfs/summary-etf-lcc.php#">according to Timothy Plan</a>.

The Timothy Plan International ETF is the first ex-U.S. ETF in the Timothy Plan lineup. Like its small-cap counterpart, TPIF follows a volatility-weighted benchmark and avoids adult entertainment, alcohol, gambling and tobacco companies.

Both new ETFs rank companies based on the issuer&#39;s eVALUEator proprietary screening criteria.

<h3>What&#39;s Next</h3>

&ldquo;Timothy Plan&#39;s ETF methodology sets its funds apart from the rest,&rdquo; according to the issuer. &ldquo;Strategic beta seeks to capture exposure to certain factors and exploit market inefficiencies in an attempt to deliver specific and/or better risk-adjusted outcomes, while striving to return the benefits of passive investing.&rdquo;

The firm&#39;s first two ETFs, the U.S. Large Cap Core ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="/stock/TPLC#NYSE">TPLC</a>) and the High Dividend Stock ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="/stock/TPHD#NYSE">TPHD</a>), have about $175 million in assets combined, but Timothy Plan manages over $1 billion in assets.

The universe of exchange traded funds adhering to Biblically Responsible Investing (BRI) principles grew Wednesday with the debuts of two new funds from Timothy Plan.

<h3>What Happened</h3>

The U.S. Large Cap Core ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="/stock/TPLC#NYSE">TPLC</a>) and the High Dividend Stock ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="/stock/TPHD#NYSE">TPHD</a>) are the new funds from Timothy Plan, which has managed faith-based funds for over two decades.

TPLC, the large-cap core fund is a &ldquo;Biblically Responsible ETF that strives to reduce risk and produce returns through tracking the performance of the Victory US Large Cap Volatility Weighted BRI Index, which includes Timothy Plan&#39;s traditional biblical screens,&rdquo; <a href="https://timothyplan.com/our-etfs/home.php">according to Timothy Plan</a>.

The new ETF tracks the volatility-weighted Victory US Large Cap Volatility Weighted BRI Index. That index&#39;s selection universe starts with the Nasdaq Victory US Large Cap 500 Volatility Weighted Index and stocks are removed that do not meet Timothy Plan&#39;s screening criteria.

<h3>Why It&#39;s Important</h3>

Timothy Plan&#39;s screening standards include pro-family and pro-life qualifiers. As is the case with many traditional environmental, social and governance (ESG) funds, Timothy Plan funds eschew investments in alcohol, gambling and tobacco companies as well as entertainment companies <a href="https://timothyplan.com/about-us/our-screens.php">with pornography exposure</a>.

Timothy Plan even maintains a list, formerly dubbed the &ldquo;<a href="https://www.timothyplan.com/download/literature/Flyer_Know-Your-Investments_(formerly-Hall-of-Shame).pdf">Hall of Shame</a>,&rdquo; of companies that the firm will not invest in. That list includes familiar names such as Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/brk-a#NYSE">BRK-A</a>), CBS Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="/stock/CBS#NYSE">CBS</a>), Johnson &amp; Johnson (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="/stock/JNJ#NYSE">JNJ</a>) and Walt Disney Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>).

TPLC charges 0.52 percent per year, or $52 on a $10,000 investment.

<h3>What&#39;s Next</h3>

The High Dividend Stock ETF tracks the Victory US Large Cap High Dividend Volatility Weighted BRI Index, which is also volatility-weighted. That index includes the 100 largest U.S. dividend payers with positive earnings over the trailing four quarters.

TPHD holdings include Aflac Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="/stock/AFL#NYSE">AFL</a>), Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>), Caterpillar Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="/stock/CAT#NYSE">CAT</a>) and Union Pacific (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="/stock/UNP#NYSE">UNP</a>).
