The article compares Joby Aviation and Archer Aviation, two eVTOL (flying taxi) companies nearing FAA approval but still unprofitable. For the six months ended June 30, Archer had $1.6 billion in cash and short-term investments and used $305.5 million in operations, while Joby had $2.3 billion and used $317.6 million, so Joby may need a smaller cash infusion. Joby generated $38.6 million in revenue last quarter, helped by its Blade Air Mobility passenger business, but its net loss was $245 million versus Archer's $263 million. Joby's $4.7 billion market cap is well above Archer's $3.1 billion, and the author favors Archer on valuation. Both stocks remain highly volatile and face a long road before turning profitable.

- Better Buy Right Now: Bitcoin vs. Shiba Inu
The article compares Bitcoin and Shiba Inu and concludes Bitcoin is the better buy, citing its fixed supply of 21 million coins, an inflation rate cut in half roughly every four years, and growing institutional involvement. The iShares Bitcoin Trust, the largest such ETF, has $66 billion in assets, and the Czech National Bank became the first central bank to buy Bitcoin for its reserves. Shiba Inu had explosive growth in 2021 and now trades 94% below its peak, though supporters point to its Shibarium layer-2 network, ShibaSwap exchange and a metaverse launched in early 2025. The author notes 714 million tokens were burned in the last 30 days against 589 trillion in circulation. Over three years, Bitcoin rose 212% while Shiba Inu fell 23%, and the author advises investors to stick with proven assets and avoid excessive risk chasing quick gains.
- Better Buy Right Now: Bitcoin vs. Shiba Inu
The article compares Bitcoin and Shiba Inu, and the author concludes Bitcoin is the better buy. Bitcoin, with a $1.7 trillion market cap, is presented as a long-term asset because of its fixed supply of 21 million coins, issuance halving roughly every four years, and spot Bitcoin ETF approvals in early 2024, with the iShares Bitcoin Trust alone holding $66 billion in assets. Shiba Inu is described as a meme token viewed mainly as speculative, trading 94% below its end-2021 level as of Oct. 12, despite an ecosystem that includes Shibarium, ShibaSwap and a metaverse, while 714 million tokens were burned in the last 30 days out of 589 trillion outstanding. Over the past three years, Bitcoin rose 212% while Shiba Inu fell 23%, which the author cites as a reason to stick with the proven asset and avoid excessive risk.
- Amazon vs Alphabet: Which "Magnificent Seven" Stock Is the Better Buy Right Now?
The article compares Amazon (AMZN) and Alphabet (GOOGL, GOOG), two of the world's most valuable companies. Alphabet's valuation is around $4.1 trillion versus Amazon's $2.8 trillion, but Amazon's revenue over the past four quarters, $776 billion, is much larger than Alphabet's $446 billion. Alphabet generated $148 billion in operating profit at a 33% margin, while Amazon's operating margin averaged just 12% over the past 12 months. Amazon's forward P/E is nearly 24, above the S&P 500 average of 19, while Alphabet's is just under 22, and the author concludes Alphabet is the better buy.
- Up 35%, Should You Buy SpaceX Stock Right Now?
SpaceX (SPCX) shares have risen about 35% from their August low as investor confidence grows, though they remain roughly 10% below their first-day closing price. The company's second-quarter report showed revenue up 92% year over year and a net loss cut almost in half. Starlink subscriptions doubled to 12 million, with more than 11,000 satellites in orbit, while xAI revenue rose 247% and it signed multiyear contracts with Alphabet and Anthropic. The author argues that a price-to-sales multiple of 68, far above the S&P 500's average of 3.8, does not justify the risk given a major lockup ending in December and the company's lack of profit, though he would consider buying at a different valuation.
- The Best Trillion-Dollar Stock to Buy Right Now, According to Wall Street
According to the article, 13 U.S.-listed stocks have a market capitalization of at least $1 trillion, and analysts are most bullish on Micron, with a median target price of $1,575 per share, implying 70% upside from the current $925. Micron's results have surged amid a memory chip shortage driven by AI infrastructure demand: revenue in the September quarter rose 379% to $54 billion, and non-GAAP earnings reached $33.42 per diluted share, up from $3.03 a year earlier. The CEO expects tighter supply-demand conditions in fiscal 2027 and 2028. However, new capacity from Micron, Samsung, SK Hynix and others could lead to oversupply by 2029, and memory prices have historically fallen sharply in such periods. Some investors believe AI demand and longer contracts could weaken the boom-and-bust pattern, while others remain cautious.
- Why Lockheed Martin May Be an Underrated Stock to Buy Right Now
The article argues that Lockheed Martin (LMT) is an underrated stock, having risen about 15% this year while still offering good value. In 2022, when the market fell, its shares rose over 40% including dividends, while the S&P 500 posted a total return of negative 18%, helped by its close ties to the U.S. government and strong defense spending. In the quarter ended June 28, revenue reached $20.1 billion, up 11% year over year. The stock trades at a forward P/E of about 16, below the S&P 500 average of more than 19, and its dividend yields 2.6% versus roughly 1% for the index. Lockheed has raised its dividend for 24 consecutive years.

Total capital expenditures were nearly $19.6 billion, with $16.4 billion allocated to SI. Musk expects compute capacity of 2.5–3 GW by year-end, up from 1.7 GW, says he feels confident of bringing another 10 GW online in 2027, and expects annual recurring revenue of $500 billion to $1 trillion by the end of 2027. Shares climbed nearly 5% in after-hours trading.
- September 2026 Quarterly Results

The company recorded no lost time injuries, lifted ore stockpiles 51% to 696kt, and reaffirmed FY27 guidance of 385–425koz. An AISC margin of $3,117/oz delivered $292M in mine operating cash flow and an underlying Treasury build of $251M, lifting cash, bullion and liquid investments to $1,040M, and the company remains debt free and unhedged.

- Elon Musk pushes to merge SpaceX and Tesla
Elon Musk said he wants to merge SpaceX and Tesla, two companies he said are worth a combined $3.5tn (£2.6tn). Both firms have set up committees of independent directors to study the idea at shareholders’ request, while Musk, who has major stakes in each, is excluded from the talks. He said there was “a lot of merit” to combining them, citing gains from co-operating on AI software, chip design, the TeraFab chipmaking plant and robotics, but cautioned that a merger should not be seen as a certainty because shareholders must support it. Tesla shares rose 1% after the announcement, while SpaceX shares gained more than 6% after better-than-expected quarterly results, with revenue up 161% to $14.6bn and a $4.4bn profit driven by its AI business.
- Pinterest Just Gained 20% in a Month: Take Profits, or Buy More?
Pinterest (PINS) shares rose 20% over the past month through Monday's close, outpacing the S&P 500's 0.6% gain and Snap's 13%. The stock fell in September after CEO Bill Ready warned about pressure in the international business, but it bottomed just above the roughly $18.17 average price of its buybacks and rallied in October. On Oct. 5, Pinterest named James Dibbo CFO, effective Oct. 26; he previously ran finance for Amazon Ads and Prime Video. At a forward P/E of 10.3x versus a five-year average of 24x, the author sees room for the multiple to rise if US and Canada growth stays near 18%, but warns that a miss on third-quarter revenue guidance of $1.19 billion to $1.21 billion could send the stock back toward the $18 buyback price.
- Why Dime Commercial Bancshares Stock Rocked the Market Today
Dime Commercial Bancshares (DCOM) shares rose about 6% on Tuesday, while the S&P 500 gained 0.3%, after the bank posted a solid third-quarter report and announced an acquisition. Total revenue climbed 19% year over year to over $135 million and deposits grew 7% to $12.8 billion, while loans edged down to under $10.8 billion. Non-GAAP attributable net income rose almost 50% to $39.1 million ($0.91 per share), and CEO Stuart Lubow pointed to $2.2 billion in cash and an 83% loan-to-deposit ratio as results of a deliberately liquid balance sheet. Dime agreed to buy ES Bancshares for about $58 million in cash and stock, strengthening its presence in Brooklyn and Staten Island, at roughly 1.1 times the target's tangible book value per share.
- SpaceX-Tesla merger? Musk speaks on 'tap-dancing through a minefield'
Elon Musk cautioned that a SpaceX (SPCX)-Tesla (TSLA) merger is far from guaranteed, calling the process an 'odd kabuki dance' because he is conflicted and cannot take part in talks held by the independent special committees formed at shareholders' request. The committees have not agreed on any transaction terms, and there is no guarantee they will. Musk sees clear benefits in combining the companies, especially in superintelligence, chip design and satellite projects, but any deal must be approved by shareholders. For Tesla, approval requires 50% of all shares, not just of votes cast, which he described as a high hurdle.
