This Purchase Can Help You Avoid A Disaster At Home
According to national statistics from 2023, one in 50 insured homes files a water damage claim each year and the average cost of a water damage claim is $10,000. Water damage isn't only costly; it can also ruin precious personal possessions. Currently, there are no requirements for homes to have any sort of water sensor — which means it's up to you to protect your house from this type of disaster on your own. Fortunately, it doesn't have to be costly.
More than 9,000 Amazon shoppers have bought and given a 5-star rating to the Govee WiFi water sensor, which has a starting cost of under $30 — certainly a far cry from the cost of water damage. Plus, you can clip the on-page coupon for a discount applied at checkout.
Here's how it works: First, you download the Govee water sensor app. Then, you plug the gateway into an outlet and place the sensors around your house. For example, you may choose to put sensors in the basement, bathrooms, laundry room, under the kitchen sink or in your garage. After the gateway is paired to your WiFi and you're all set up in the app, you're good to go.
Any time one of the sensors detects any water, it will sound an alert and a notification will also pop up on your phone as well as in your email. That way, you'll know if a leak occurred even if you aren't home. Here's what else is cool: You'll be able to see through the app which sensor went off so you know where the leak is occurring.
Being able to identify a leak as soon as possible (whether it's from heavy rain, a burst pipe or a leaking appliance) means you can take action before your home and belongings are ruined. Especially if you live in an area prone to flooding, having this sensor will allow you to leave town without worrying if your home is okay; you'll be able to monitor it using the app.

20 stocks primed for rapid growth while trading at half of Nvidia's valuation
When selecting investments, it is easy to get hung up on a particular metric, such as a dividend yield or a price ratio, but investors need to look deeper or they might miss opportunities. Inc. AMZN provides an example: Its stock has typically traded at a high price-to-earnings ratio. Investors tend to look at a stock's forward P/E ratio, which is the price divided by analysts' consensus estimate for earnings per share over the following 12 months. Over the past 10 years, Amazon's stock has traded at an average forward P/E of 79.5, while the S&P 500 SPX has traded at an average forward P/E of 18.7, according to FactSet. But Amazon's stock was up 855% for 10 years through Friday, while the S&P 500 returned 235% with dividends reinvested. My daughter's boyfriend, a guest in my home, offered to powerwash part of my house — then demanded money What on Earth is going on with the American consumer? My father-in-law has dementia and is moving in with us. Can we invoice him for a caregiver? 'The situation is extreme': I'm 65 and leaving my estate to only one grandchild. Can the others contest my will? 20 stocks primed for rapid growth while trading at half of Nvidia's valuation It turns out that for Amazon's management team, bottom-line earnings traditionally weren't a focus. The emphasis was on reinvesting most of the cash being generated to expand the business in multiple directions. So the Amazon story was about revenue growth, rather than EPS growth. And that brings us to Nvidia Corp. NVDA. Last week Laila Maidan looked into Nvidia's relatively high forward P/E and explained why the stock might still be considered a bargain for long-term investors, based on analysts' expectations for the company's revenue growth. Nvidia's stock traded at a forward P/E of 28.1 at Friday's close, while the S&P 500 traded at a weighted forward P/E of 21.4. It is not a surprise to see Nvidia trading at a P/E valuation that is 31% higher than that of the index. But based on consensus estimates among analysts polled by FactSet, Nvidia is expected to increase its sales per share at a compound annual growth rate of 41.7% through 2026, versus an expected sales-per-share CAGR of 5.5% for the S&P 500. All such estimates in this article are adjusted by FactSet to match calendar years; about 20% of companies in the S&P 500 have fiscal reporting periods that don't match the calendar. For Nvidia, investors pay a premium for the higher expected growth rate. And that sets the stage for a stock screen. Which companies trading at low P/E multiples are also expected to increase revenue quickly? For this screen we are looking at revenue growth projections — specifically sales per share. We are using the per-share numbers because they reflect expected dilution to a company's share count if it issues new shares to help fund an acquisition. Merging with a competitor will obviously make revenue increase. But if the share count rises significantly, sales per share will be lower. The per-share numbers help investors to understand whether or not a company might have overpaid for an acquisition. Starting with the S&P 500, we narrowed the list to companies trading at forward P/E ratios of 14 or less — half Nvidia's valuation. Actually, we rounded down, so the list was confined to stocks trading at a forward P/E of less than 14.5. Then we sorted the list by expected sales-per-share CAGR from calendar 2024 through 2026, based on consensus estimates among analysts polled by FactSet. Here are the 20 stocks in the S&P 500 with the highest expected sales-per-share CAGR through 2025 among those trading at a P/E of less than 14.5: Company Ticker Industry Forward P/E Expected sales-per-share CAGR from 2024 through 2026 Expand Energy Corp.

These have included higher-than-expected costs in its Medicare Advantage business, reports of a government investigation into possible healthcare fraud and the departure of Chief Executive Andrew Witty. But with the stock having tumbled 40% this year through Friday, with dividends reinvested, analysts working for brokerage and research firms believe the worst is over, with 21 out of 29 analysts polled by FactSet rating UnitedHealth a buy or the equivalent.

This Conservative Is Doing Just Fine, Thank You, After Getting Dumped by Trump
'House of David,' a retelling of the biblical shepherd's unlikely rise, capped season one with the future king's epic takedown of Goliath and started April in Amazon's top streaming spot. David's surprise triumph was also Leonard Leo's. The conservative lawyer and co-chairman of the Federalist Society has been secretly helping bankroll Wonder Project, a Texas-based studio that produced the popular series and, Leo hopes, will follow with a string of Christian- and conservative-leaning shows so slick they can go head-to-head with other big-budget entertainment.

Amazon Prime Video Redefines NASCAR Broadcasts with a Bold New Era of Streaming and Innovation
Amazon Prime Video has officially taken the wheel in NASCAR's latest media revolution, and it's not just about where fans watch races, but how they experience them. As part of NASCAR's new seven-year media rights deal kicking off in 2025, Amazon secured exclusive streaming rights to five mid-season Cup Series races annually. That alone is a landmark shift. But when Prime Video debuted with the Coca-Cola 600 on Memorial Day weekend, the first-ever points-paying Cup race aired solely on a streaming platform, it was clear this was more than just a broadcasting contract. It's the beginning of NASCAR's streaming era. Amazon's Broader Sports Play Prime Video's entry into NASCAR builds on Amazon's broader push into live sports. The tech giant already owns rights to the NFL's 'Thursday Night Football', Premier League soccer, and WNBA matchups. NASCAR represents the latest step in a long-term plan to draw cord-cutting fans and modernize the live sports experience. Advertisement For NASCAR, partnering with Amazon helps diversify its reach. As NASCAR President Steve Phelps said, the league aimed to 'secure long-term stability with an optimized mix of distribution platforms.' Amazon offers access to a younger, more tech-forward audience, and early numbers suggest it's working. Streaming Debut Delivers Younger, Engaged Viewers Amazon's first Cup race drew a peak of 2.92 million viewers, including 800,000 in the key 18–49 demographic—more than any NASCAR cable race in the last three years. While overall viewership lagged behind last year's traditional Fox broadcast, the younger median age and digital engagement signal growth potential. And for fans, the change wasn't just about the platform, it was about the product. Amazon eliminated full-screen commercials during green-flag racing, replacing them with picture-in-picture ads. It's a long-overdue fix to one of NASCAR's most frustrating TV traditions. Advertisement Related: NASCAR schedule 2025 Game-Changing Features: No Missed Moments, More Control Prime's fan-first approach includes innovations like 'Key Moments,' letting viewers rewind major highlights on demand, and 'Rapid Recap,' which delivers a condensed video summary for fans who join mid-race. These tools are built for modern sports viewers used to TikTok speed and DVR control. In addition, Amazon is using Amazon Web Services (AWS) to layer in real-time stats and predictive insights, similar to what AWS already powers for Formula 1. From tire wear to pit strategy, expect smarter analysis baked into the coverage. Advertisement There's also a seamless e-commerce tie-in, allowing fans to 'Shop the Race' and buy team gear in real time. It's an extension of Amazon's retail empire, but also a clever way to let passion turn into purchase with a single click. A Broadcast Team Built for Credibility Fans tuning in to Prime Video's NASCAR coverage were met by a familiar voice: Dale Earnhardt Jr., alongside longtime crew chief Steve Letarte and seasoned broadcaster Adam Alexander. The team brings deep credibility and experience, and unlike some networks, Amazon sends its entire crew on-site to every race, enhancing authenticity and access. Supporting them are pit reporters Marty Snider, Kim Coon, and Trevor Bayne, while Danielle Trotta, Carl Edwards, and Corey LaJoie lead pre- and post-race coverage. The Coca-Cola 600 post-race show ran over an hour, something rarely seen on traditional TV. Challenges Ahead for NASCAR and Fans Still, not everyone is sold. While Amazon partnered with DirecTV to stream races in bars and restaurants, some rural or older fans have struggled to adapt. Internet access, tech familiarity, and subscription fatigue are all real hurdles. Advertisement But team owners and sponsors are bullish. As 23XI Racing President Steve Lauletta said, 'This is a positive move to reach consumers where they are.' The marketing upside, especially for sponsors eager to tap Amazon's platform, is hard to ignore. Related: Prime Video Review 2025 – What to Know Before Subscribing The Future of NASCAR Broadcasting Ultimately, NASCAR's partnership with Amazon feels like a test case for the future of all live sports. It's not just about streaming, it's about flexibility, data, and personalization. If successful, this hybrid model of streaming and traditional TV could become the new norm across major leagues. Advertisement For fans, the tradeoff is clear: a slightly different way to watch in exchange for deeper, richer coverage that's focused more on the racing, and less on missing it. If Amazon continues listening to the fanbase and delivering a product built around access, engagement, and innovation, NASCAR may have found a long-term pit partner for the digital age.
