I browsed thousands of sales: These are the best Amazon deals on Apple, DeWalt and more

RIP, Roger Mandigo. Who? For shame! Roger Mandigo was a professor of meat science and a great American hero. Mandigo, who died at the ripe old (er, I mean well-done) age of 85 this week, pioneered the manufacture of "restructured meat," which allows it to be formed into bespoke shapes. Why does that put him on our personal Mount Rushmore? His cutting-edge technology would go on to make the McRib and the McNugget possible. The moral here? You can never predict the momentous ripple effects of one inspired idea — something to keep in mind as you peruse the best Amazon deals this weekend.
Top Amazon deals
Eddie Bauer Reversible Blanket for $14 (was $40): Nearly 70% off
DeWalt 20V Max Cordless Wet-Dry Vacuum for $99 (was $159): Rare sale
Roborock Qrevo Master Robot Vacuum and Mop for $850 (was $1,400): All-time low
Apple 2024 MacBook Air, 13-inch for $1,283 (was $1,499): Rare sale
Crest 3D Whitestrips Professional Effects for $30 (was $46): Close to Black Friday price
For instance, what if the few minutes this hair straightener and curler (79% off!) could save winds up allowing your daughter to make that impromptu audition on time — the one that begins her ascent to the red-carpet A-list? What if tossing an AirTag (four for just 70 bucks!) into your bag keeps you from losing it for days, allowing you to get to the vacation resort ASAP, where you'd meet the love of your life at check-in? What if the humble meat thermometer you bought so you could prepare the perfect steak winds up sounding the alarm during a family barbecue and preventing your entire brood from coming down with salmonella or trichinosis?
Makes you think, right? So, please, let Roger's life, and death, inspire you. Once you're done observing a moment of silence for this titan of to-go technology, start adding to cart. Who knows, you may wind up making history.

The Russell 2000 Small Caps ETF Did Not Hit A New High

The iShares Russell 2000 small caps ETF did not hit a new high. While stock market commentators gushed about the Nasdaq 100's new high and the S&P 500's almost new high, few noted the lack of one from the small caps. Why won't these punier equities go along with the program? Market capitalization is the price of the stock times the number of shares. Analysts use it to distinguish between the big stocks and the small stocks. Big stocks like Nvidia, Apple, Amazon and Tesla find their place in the S&P 500 or the Nasdaq 100 or sometimes both. The market cap for Nvidia is $4457 billion. For Amazon, it's $2374 billion. The market cap for Credo Technologies, the largest of the small caps, is $20.67 billion. For the fourth largest small cap, Hims & Hers Health, it's $11.74 billion. You can see how it drops off quickly as you move down the list. Russell 2000 ETF fails to hit a new high The names of stocks that make up the Russell 2000 are ones you probably haven't heard of. Well, let's put it this way: you MAY have heard of a few but they don't get mentioned much on the front page or in short market updates on the tube. The largest sector within the ETF is financials, mostly regional banks – non-Wall Street hometown variety. Here's the weekly price chart for the Russell 2000: The small caps ETF peaked in November 2024 at just above $240. This week's close of near $220 failed to make a new high. Note the decline as indicated by the dotted red line. The divergence between this type of performance and the type for the Nasdaq 100 is a problem for those who remain enthusiastic about stock markets. Since I mentioned the two largest of the small caps, just for the record, here's how they look. Credo Technologies: The semiconductor company specializes in data center technology. This year's earnings are up 129% and up over the past five years by 52%. It's been good to be a tech stock lately, whether large or small cap. The price earnings ratio is 432 (!). The stock trades at 30 times its book value. The debt to equity ratio is .02. Credo amounts to just .68% of the Russell 2000 ETF, so the largest position is not that much of the total. The stock has gone from near $30 in late March/early April to the present $120, a triple in less than a year. Note that the volume levels peaked in June and have dropped since then. Hims & Hers Health. It's a personal and household products company and amounts to .38% of the ETF. Earnings for this year are up 11%. They're up over the past five years by 28%. The price-earnings ratio is 65 and the stock goes for 20 times book value. The short float is a high 32% – showing a greater level of disbelief in this company than for most. Should those shorts ever be forced to cover that would provide fuel for a rally. Hims & Hers peaked in February at near $72.50 and now trades for $51.94. That's a 28% drop in value in a short time, a possible reason for the short float issue. The company's debt-to-equity ratio is 1.86.

How Much Richer Is Jeff Bezos Than the Entire Population of California?

Jeff Bezos is one billionaire who's so rich he could buy up your state. But what if you and everyone in that state could save it by collectively becoming richer than Bezos? Let's consider California, a state that's considered to be America's economic powerhouse with a booming population and diverse industries. Read More: Find Out: There's no doubt Jeff has a lot of money, but could his money truly eclipse the annual earnings of the entire state of California? We're talking about the combined incomes of nearly 40 million people. Let's compare and discover the staggering scale of Bezos's wealth and the immense economic power California's residents collectively wield. Bezos' Fortune: What Does It Look Like? Jeff Bezos's wealth has redefined what's possible for an entrepreneur in the 21st century. His net worth is now roughly $226 billion as of August 2025, according to Forbes. Most of this wealth stems primarily from his Amazon holdings, but ventures in technology, aerospace, and media bolster it. His financial empire spans not only one of the largest tech companies in the world, but also the private spaceflight venture Blue Origin and significant investments in media outlets. Bezos is so rich that even after selling significant chunks of Amazon stock this year, Bezos's fortune isn't heavily affected. In July, Bezos made headlines by selling $5.7 billion in Amazon shares, barely a dent in his overall holdings, according to Fortune. His portfolio continues to benefit from innovation, market resilience, and the outsized growth of his investments. Discover Next: The Scale of California's Economy California is more than just a state; it's a global powerhouse, reporting a population of approximately 39.5 million at the start of 2025, according to U.S. Census figures. Its economic ecosystem is famed for blending tech startups, entertainment juggernauts, agriculture, and world-class universities. With an average household size of 2.9, California has about 13.6 million households. The median household income in 2025 is now about $90,000, according to the CNBC data. Multiply that median income by all state households, and California's combined annual household income climbs to nearly $1.23 trillion. That figure underscores the state's title as America's premier economic engine, outpacing entire countries and consistently landing California among the top five economies worldwide. Wealth Showdown: Bezos vs. California's Millions When we stack Jeff Bezos's $226 billion net worth against California's $1.23 trillion in total household income, the comparison is striking. Bezos controls about 20% of what all Californians collectively earn in a year, a percentage that sounds small in this context but would make him the GDP of a mid-sized nation. To match just one year of household income from the Golden State, you'd need the fortunes of more than five Jeff Bezoses, at their 2025 peak. This contrast puts the scale of collective work and economic output into sharp relief. Bezos, for all his wealth and market dominance, is still dwarfed by the earnings and spending power of nearly 40 million Californians.

Aura's Aspen impressive digital frame is the most affordable it's been

Returning to work or school from summer vacation is never easy, but the Aura Aspen could help you hold onto your favorite memories by putting them front and center. And right now, you can pick up the digital photo frame for around $199 ($30 off) from Amazon, Best Buy, and Aura, which is a new low price. The Aura Aspen digital frame lets you upload photos via the companion app, cloud services, or email from anywhere. Its 12-inch LCD display features slim bezels, a 4:3 aspect ratio, and an antiglare screen that mimics the look of real photos. For a digital photo frame, the slim, 12-inch Aura Aspen looks remarkably traditional. My colleague Jennifer Pattison Tuohy found its paper-textured, anti-glare matte display and 1600 x 1200 resolution makes pictures appear sharp and lifelike, while the 4:3 aspect ratio means most smartphone shots should fit perfectly. It even comes with its own adjustable metal stand that looks like one you'd find on a regular photo frame. But unlike a normal photo frame, this one could be a gift that lets you keep on giving. Like other Aura digital photo frames, you can update it anytime with new photos, whether you're sending pics of the grandkids to mom's frame or beaming a college student the latest pictures of the family pet. Just upload pictures via the companion app available on iOS and Android, sync them automatically via iCloud Photos or Google Photos, or email them and they'll appear. What's more, you can also add text captions, display Live Photos from your iPhone, and even showcase 30-second videos that play sound.
