Walmart (WMT) Pays $10 Million Fine to Settle Lawsuit over Money Transfer Fraud
Walmart (WMT) has agreed to pay a $10 million fine to settle a U.S. Federal Trade Commission civil lawsuit accusing the world's largest retailer of ignoring warning signs that scam artists leveraged its money transfer service to bilk consumers out of hundreds of millions of dollars. Confident Investing Starts Here: Walmart has also agreed not to process money transfers it suspects are fraudulent, or help sellers and telemarketers it believes are using its services to commit fraud. 'Electronic money transfers are one of the most common ways that scammers tell consumers to send them money, because once it's sent, it's gone for good,' said Christopher Mufarrige, director of the FTC Consumer Protection Bureau. Bentonville, Arkansas-based Walmart did not admit or deny wrongdoing in settling the case. In its complaint, the FTC accused Walmart of turning a blind eye to fraudsters who used its money transfer service to target consumers. Walmart acts as an agent for money transfers by companies such as MoneyGram and Western Union (WU). Tricksters The FTC said fraudsters used many schemes via Walmart, including impersonating Internal Revenue Service (IRS) agents, impersonating family members, and telling victims they won lotteries or sweepstakes but owed fees to collect their winnings. The judge dismissed part of the FTC's legal claim last year but let the regulator pursue most of its case. Walmart appealed that decision. The $10 million settlement effectively ends Walmart's appeal. WMT stock is up 6% this year. Is WMT Stock a Buy? average WMT price target of $109.71 implies 14.14% upside from current levels.

Another buyer has made offer for Rays in potential twist
Another potential Rays buyer has thrown a hat in the ring. Trip Miller, the founder of a Memphis hedge fund, is the latest to join the billionaire race to own the Rays as he created a group that made an all-cash offer to Rays owner Stu Sternberg, according to The Athletic. 'We made an offer last week,' Miller said, per The Athletic. 'We have had contact with the club over the past month, specifically about our offer. 4 Rays' current owner, Stuart Sternberg, answered reporters' questions in March. Kim Klement Neitzel-Imagn Images 'If there is an exclusivity period that expires soon, and I don't know when it expires, we would welcome the opportunity to have a deeper discussion with the Rays about our offer.' It was reported Wednesday that Sternberg was in 'advanced talks' to sell the franchise with a group led by Jacksonville homebuilder Patrick Zalupski having executed a letter of intent to purchase the club. 4 Patrick Zalupski is the founder, chairman and CEO of Dream Finders Homes, a Florida-based homebuilder. University of Florida Zalupski's group's offer was reported to be $1.7 billion, according to Sportico. As for Miller's offer, he did not reveal the number but included that he and his group are willing to raise the number if necessary. The Rays are currently in need of a new stadium as they can't play at Tropicana Field after the stadium sustained damage from Hurricane Milton in October 2024. Tampa Bay has instead played at George M. Steinbrenner Field in Tampa — home to the Yankees' spring training and Low-A team. 4 Tropicana Field was ravaged by Hurricane Milton in October 2024. AFP via Getty Images The stadium issue is something that MLB is hoping a new owner would solve, as Sternberg had a deal in place to begin building a new 30,000-capacity stadium in downtown St. Petersburg before the plans ended because of financing delays. 'The league, that's what they're looking for — someone who can not only buy the club but solves the stadium problem,' Miller said. While finding a new stadium is a priority, relocating out of Central Florida is seemingly not an option. 4 Rays legend Evan Longoria puts on a jersey after signing an honorary one-day contract, alongside current Rays owner Stu Sternberg. AP 'This is not a relocation play to another state,' Miller said. 'You won't see the Rays relocating out of Central Florida, whether it was our group or another group.' Miller said that Orlando is not out of the realm of possibilities for relocation and that, all in all, the total investment for the team and a new stadium will be more than $3 billion.

Too many ETFs? Here's how to cut through the noise and start investing
With more than 1,600 exchange-traded funds (ETFs) now trading in Canada — and more being launched each month — some investors don't know where to begin. The country is on track for another record year of ETF launches in 2025, adding to an already complex marketplace. Investors have 'analysis paralysis. They quite honestly don't know where to start,' says Anita Bruinsma, financial planner and investment coach at Clarity Personal Finance In Toronto. 'I'm finding with my clients that they just kind of give up, and they often leave their money sitting in cash because they get totally overwhelmed.' As at May 31, there were 1,628 ETFs in Canada, according to National Bank Research. So far in 2025, 155 new ETFs have launched while 24 have been delisted. In 2024, Canada saw 224 new ETF launches and 61 delistings. The growing number of options is being driven by several trends, says Tiffany Zhang, director of ETFs and financial products research at National Bank Financial. These include an uptick in actively managed ETFs, an increase in the number of issuers, and more niche products targeting specific market exposures — more issuers have been launching CLO (collateralized loan obligation) ETFs, for example. Bruinsma sees it as a business strategy — banks and investment companies are focused on creating new, differentiated products that will attract investor dollars. The move to actively managed ETFs is, in part, because companies can charge higher fees, and ultimately make more money, she adds. Here, experts provide a few tips to get started: Bruinsma encourages a passive investing approach using ETFs that track broad market indices like the S&P 500, the TSX or the EAFE Index. There may be many ETFs available, but if you narrow it down to 'just the true passively managed, boring, plain vanilla ETFs,' the list becomes much more manageable. 'It actually becomes very easy to pick,' she added. She warns that actively managed ETFs can add unnecessary risk. The risk with an actively managed ETF is that someone's picking the best performers — how confident are you that they're picking the right ones?, she says. 'No one has a crystal ball. No one can say which of these stocks are going to do the best.' For example, some investors may be tempted to put 80 per cent of their money into a sector-specific ETF, like one focused on U.S. technology, which leaves them vulnerable if that sector or its key companies underperform. A broad market ETF, like one tracking the S&P 500, provides more diversification across sectors and reduces the risk, Bruinsma says. Another common mistake among new investors is buying too many ETFs, which can lead to overlapping investments, says Jason Heath, managing director of Markham, Ont.-based Objective Financial Partners. Take a look at three of the biggest ETF companies by assets in Canada — iShares, BMO and Vanguard, he says. iShares and BMO have ETFs that track the S&P/TSX Capped Composite Index — their ETFs are iShares S&P/TSX Capped Composite Index ETF ( and BMO S&P/TSX Capped Composite Index ETF ( Additionally, Vanguard has its Vanguard FTSE Canada All Cap Index ETF ( that tracks the FTSE Canada All Cap Domestic Index, a very similar index, he adds. The top eight holdings are the same for each ETF. Heath says. Ten-year performance has been 8.96 per cent, 8.96 per cent, and 8.87 per cent, respectively, through May 31. 'The point? You don't necessarily need to diversify your ETFs if they own the same things,' Heath said. 'You can even buy a single all-in-one (a.k.a asset allocation) ETF that gives you bonds as well as Canadian, U.S., and international stocks in a single ETF.' It's easy to get caught up in the strength of the U.S. stock market, especially over the past decade, but Bruinsma cautions against leaning too heavily on U.S. ETFs. For example, an investor might buy an S&P 500 ETF, then add a NASDAQ-100 ETF — both U.S.-focused — along with a global ETF that also has heavy U.S. exposure, and then layer on yet another U.S.-focused fund. The U.S. has been a top performer, but it hasn't always been, Bruinsma says. Canada and Europe, for example, have also outperformed at different times, she adds, noting that markets move in cycles. And when those cycles occur, investors may sacrifice returns by having too much invested down south. The country could be exposed to an economic slowdown or crisis, Bruinsma adds. "You always want to make sure that you have a little bit invested everywhere so that you're not exposed to one particular event happening.'
