Buzz, the memer who promoted the Aptos token, says he left his advisor role after his one-year contract ended and has sold his APT. APT has fallen 10.7% since the start of the month to a 607 million USD market cap. He is now targeting Meta, arguing retail investors have been forgotten and the company has strong fundamentals. Meta's market cap of about 1.59 trillion USD is 2,619 times that of Aptos, and its shares fell 1.2% on the day his campaign began, which makes moving the price a real challenge. The article compares this with Roaring Kitty's GameStop rally, when GME had an 11.85 billion USD market cap, and says Buzz's challenge is 134 times larger.

- 'We're Trading Them Like Baseball Cards': Mark Cuban Warns ‘Everything’s a Meme Stock’ as AAPL, GOOGL and MU Fuel Market Bubble Fears
Entrepreneur Mark Cuban told host Steven Bartlett on The Diary Of A CEO podcast that technology companies such as Apple and Google parent Alphabet are trading as “meme stocks,” driven by perceived value rather than fundamentals. He said he thinks the market is in a bubble, but not the same as the 2001 internet bubble, and listed Bitcoin and Micron Technology among the meme stocks. Cuban argued that a company can see its stock fall 18% after earnings that miss or beat by a penny, because traders react to anticipated information rather than the net present value of future cash flows; he said, “We’re trading them like baseball cards.” He added that some companies will survive, citing Dell Technologies and Amazon, whose stocks were crushed when the internet bubble burst, and noting that Amazon, though losing money at the time, is now worth trillions of dollars.

- Fear vs. greed: How investors should react to Anthropic-fueled market moves
Guest Sam says technology had performed strongly, investors may have been taking profit-taking, and seasonal patterns are favorable, with October tending to be the best month of a midterm election year. He says the market has never declined in the 12 months after October 31 of midterm election years, and suggests OpenAI may face more challenges in 2027 due to heavy borrowing needs, while he is optimistic about Anthropic though he does not follow individual stocks closely. On sentiment, he says days with moves of 1% or more account for 45% of trading days in bear markets versus 15% in bull markets, and that fear is a stronger motivator than greed. He advises not letting emotions push investors out of stocks, noting that after declines of up to 20%, the market has taken about four months on average to return to breakeven.
- Meta offers enhanced ad campaign exposure
At its brand building summit on Oct. 15, Meta announced several ad updates. Ads Super Burst lets advertisers book a window of 3 to 24 hours to reach audiences at TV-like scale, with optional category exclusivity, at a higher cost. First Impression Ads, now in US testing, places an advertiser's promotion in the first position in users' Feed, with one brand per day. Meta is also expanding Reels Trending Ads with 15 standard topics, including new Home & Garden and Spanish-language categories, and testing Aggregated View Time, which reports cumulative exposure for video ads over a chosen period.
- 5 big analyst AI moves: Meta gets Street-high PT; Salesforce double upgraded
Truist raised its price target on Meta to $1,000 from $763, matching Wells Fargo as the highest on Wall Street, citing early traction for its Muse AI agent, and kept a Buy rating. Meta shares have risen 21% since Muse launched, versus a 2% gain for the S&P 500, and Truist expects third-quarter revenue of $63.9 billion, up 25% year over year. BofA double-upgraded Salesforce to Buy from Underperform and lifted its target to $285 from $160, arguing AI should deepen enterprise dependence on such platforms, though small AI revenues and slower-than-expected adoption remain the main near-term risk. Barclays downgraded Dell, HPE and NetApp to Equal Weight from Overweight, saying valuations have run ahead of any meaningful enterprise AI inflection, and cut its Dell target to $574 from $603. Barclays strategist Emmanuel Cau says hot U.S. inflation data, Middle East tensions and a chip-stock selloff are testing the market's upside, though he attributes much of the weakness to positioning rather than fundamentals.

- Apple brings touch to the Mac, reversing years-old stance on touchscreen laptop
Apple has launched its first laptop with a touchscreen, the MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR Display, which uses OLED technology. It runs M5 Pro or M5 Max chips, is lighter than Apple's current pro laptops, and runs macOS. The 14-inch version starts at $2,899 and the 16-inch version costs at least $3,399, both notable price increases, with sales beginning November 6. This is Apple's third major product launch under CEO John Ternus, in a laptop market suffering one of its worst slumps, which analysts link to AI-driven memory shortages that have raised prices. IDC reported that total PC shipments fell 20% year over year in the third quarter, while Apple's shipments dropped 11%.
- MacBook Pro: Apple launches its first ever touchscreen Mac – and brings back iconic feature
Apple has launched a new MacBook Pro, its first Mac with a touchscreen, which also brings back the glowing Apple logo on the back. The laptop uses the PROLED XDR display, Apple's OLED branding, and is lighter than the previous version, which weighed about 3.5 pounds. To support touch, Apple redesigned macOS so content is easier to manipulate and strengthened the hinge so the screen stays steady when touched. The 14-inch version starts at $2,899 and the 16-inch at $3,399, compared with $1,999 for the non-touchscreen model, which has a less powerful chip. Apple executives, including new CEO John Ternus, had previously dismissed touchscreen Macs mainly over ergonomic concerns about reaching across the keyboard.
- Why F5 Stock Is Getting Crushed Today
F5 (FFIV) shares fell more than 19% intraday even though fiscal fourth-quarter revenue rose 13% year over year to $917 million and adjusted EPS of $4.42 beat estimates. Investors reacted to guidance suggesting slower growth and shrinking gross margins, and Piper Sandler downgraded the stock from overweight to neutral. The article argues the sell-off may be overdone, since shares were up nearly 80% year to date as of the previous close and were vulnerable to profit-taking. Evercore ISI, Barclays and Morgan Stanley raised their price targets after the report, and the analyst consensus target stood at $457.44 versus a price near $370.
- Apple unveils groundbreaking MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR Display and Touch for the first time on Mac

It comes in 14- and 16-inch models, with pre-orders starting October 28 and availability beginning November 6.
- Crypto PAC spending before midterms possibly obscured after reported FEC hack
The US Federal Election Commission's electronic filing system went offline after reports of a hack, just six days before Election Day, potentially obscuring last-minute spending by super PACs. As of 7:48 pm UTC on Tuesday, the FEC said the outage continued while its IT staff worked to restore service. Since Sunday, filings showed no new expenditures from crypto-aligned super PACs such as Fairshake and Digital Freedom Fund, though super PACs must normally report spending of $1,000 or more within 24 hours. Digital Freedom Fund reported spending more than $572,000 on text messages supporting Republican Senate candidates, mostly for Ken Paxton's campaign in Texas. In Ohio, Fairshake had reported spending $56 million on media opposing Sherrod Brown and supporting Jon Husted.
- Retail tycoon puts over 19,000 billion VND into bonds, with an 'unknown' over 6,000 billion VND flowing into diversified companies
As of the end of Q3 2026, Mobile World Investment (MWG) held over 63,000 billion VND in cash, deposits, bond investments and loans, about 60% of total assets, slightly down from Q2 mainly due to lower cash. Bond investments rose by over 4,000 billion to more than 19,100 billion VND, while outstanding loans fell from over 7,100 billion to about 4,100 billion VND. MWG mainly invested in bank, securities, real estate and diversified-company bonds, with holdings in the latter up about 4,600 billion since the start of the year, though the company did not detail these bonds. Its financial investment activities brought in 381 billion VND in profit in Q3, up 23% year on year, while record quarterly profit after tax exceeded 3,500 billion VND, nearly double the prior-year level. For the first nine months, net revenue reached 147,827 billion VND (up 30%) and profit after tax 9,634 billion VND (up 93%).
