The author notes many AI stocks are pulling back, with the Nasdaq-100 down 5.5% in the last week alone, and argues that broad market sell-offs have historically been followed by recoveries to new highs. Duolingo (DUOL) trades 73% below its record high, with 58.7 million daily active users (up 23%) and a target of 100 million by 2028; its price-to-sales ratio is about 6 versus a five-year average of 14.4, and its P/E is about 16.6. SentinelOne (S) reported record annual recurring revenue of $1.2 billion, up 22%, with ARR from its AI products almost tripling, and its P/S of about 6.7 compares with 10.2 to 43.3 for CrowdStrike, Palo Alto Networks and Zscaler. The author considers both companies potentially worth a long-term look if the tech sell-off intensifies.

- China's Stock Market Has Lost $2.4 Trillion as Investors Doubt Its AI Boom Will Ever Pay Off
Mainland Chinese stocks have lost about $2.4 trillion in market value since May as investors lose faith that Beijing's AI boom will turn a profit. The STAR 50, an index of large tech and chip companies, has fallen 40% in under four months, erasing about $480 billion, while the CSI 300 entered a bear market on October 22. According to Goldman Sachs, AI companies account for 42% of the market value and 57% of trading in Chinese shares, so a slump in AI stocks drags the whole market down. Factors cited include weak consumer spending, doubts that AI firms can recoup their investment, U.S. curbs on Chinese robots and data center optical parts, and a reported Beijing push for tech giants to shift to homegrown chips and stop buying Nvidia's. A Beijing-based fund manager said the speculative rally has given way to a bubble that is now bursting.
- Airborne Magnetic Survey Generates 22 Priority Gold Exploration Targets
GoldCoast Resource Corp. reports completing an airborne magnetic survey over its entire 10,000 km² offshore licence area on Ghana's shallow continental shelf, with about 60,000 line kilometres flown between May 4 and August 22, 2026. The interpretation identified 22 significant magnetic anomalies, considered high-priority gold targets linked to paleo-river channels, paleo-shorelines and structurally controlled sediment traps. Two source-to-sink placer systems were defined: the Tano-Ankobra system in Block 1 and the Pra River and eastern river systems in Block 2, each containing all four elements needed for a placer gold deposit. A further infill survey over Target A, about 500 km² at the Ankobra River mouth, is being interpreted, with results due in Q4 2026. A Phase II marine program using multibeam bathymetry, side-scan sonar, sub-bottom profiling and vibracore sampling will test the priority targets.

- Has Space Exploration Technologies (SPCX) Become Fully Valued Following Its $3.42b Shelf Filing?
