- Cerrado Gold Reports 21% Year-Over-Year Increase in Q3 2026 Production Results at Minera Don Nicolas
Cerrado Gold reported Q3 2026 production of 16,685 GEO at the Minera Don Nicolas (MDN) mine in Santa Cruz Province, Argentina, up 21% from 13,832 GEO in Q3 2025. Year-to-date output reached 44,942 GEO, up 23% from 36,432 GEO in the comparable 2025 period. Heap leach output held steady at 9,649 GEO, while CIL output rose to 7,036 GEO as higher-grade Calandrias material, generally above 2.5 g/t gold, was routed to the Martinetas mill. Laboratory tests on selected material showed gold recoveries of up to 95%, versus about 60% expected from heap leaching, and the company now expects full-year 2026 production at the upper end of its 50,000 to 60,000 GEO guidance while targeting a new PEA by late Q1 2027.
- Royal Road Advances Gold Exploration Target at El Alemán, GAM Project, Colombia
Royal Road reported new surface sampling and geological mapping at El Alemán, part of its GAM project in Antioquia, Colombia, returning 51 m at 1.12 g/t gold, including 20 m at 2.21 g/t, from a saw-cut channel across parallel gold-bearing veins in historical artisanal workings. Based on vein orientation, the estimated true thickness is about 49 m, including 19 m at 2.21 g/t. Structural measurements indicate the surface veins project roughly 400 m down dip toward an earlier drill intersection of 80.5 m at 1.0 g/t gold, including 18 m at 3.0 g/t, in hole ALM-DD-001. The company plans to drill test the continuity, grade and true thickness of mineralization between the surface exposures and that intersection; El Alemán lies about 500 m northwest of the Güíntar porphyry, where drilling is underway.

- Netflix has hit a wall — and Wall Street wants to know what's next
According to a Wall Street Journal report, Netflix has hit a wall: data from Antenna shows it added no net US subscribers in any month this year through the end of September, a claim Netflix disputes. The company has also changed content leadership, removing its head of content and film chief and naming Peter Rice, formerly of Disney and Fox, as content chief. Netflix has not disclosed subscriber numbers since 2025 and has dropped subscriber guidance, so investors are asking what its next catalysts are ahead of its earnings report after the close. The hosts also noted reports that Netflix is pursuing deals with major YouTube creators, but argued that creators may prefer YouTube's massive reach over exclusive streaming contracts.
- Parks Associates: 37% of Recent Home Security System Buyers are Renters as Apple Enters The Smart Home Market
A Parks Associates study of 8,000 US internet households finds that 37% of security system owners who bought within the past year are renters, versus 8% of those who purchased more than six years ago. Nearly one-third of recent buyers also moved during that period, making relocation an important trigger for purchases. The share of US internet households owning a security system rose from 31% in 2022 to 37%, and 36% pay for a security service. As Apple enters the market with cameras and video doorbells developed with LG and ADT handling installation, Parks analysts say providers offering affordable, easy-to-install, flexible systems will be better positioned to win renters. Professional monitoring has not been announced as part of the collaboration.
- Zelensky Lobbies US Senators to Pressure Trump
According to an Axios transcript, Ukrainian President Zelensky urged bipartisan US senators to pressure President Trump in an online meeting on Oct. 19 hosted by Republican Thom Tillis and Democrat Richard Blumenthal. He complained of disrupted weapons deliveries, satellite communications and early warnings of Russian missile attacks, arguing the administration was deliberately slowing support to push Ukraine toward a settlement with Russia. The backdrop is Trump's growing frustration over Ukraine's refusal to halt strikes on Russian oil refineries, which the White House says worsens the global diesel shortage and raises US fuel prices, as well as his Oct. 9, 2026 deal with Putin easing Russian diesel export curbs, which Ukraine condemned. Envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner reportedly warned Ukraine that US weapons and intelligence support means it should avoid attacks that hurt American consumers, which Ukrainian officials took as a threat to halt aid, though the administration denies issuing any ultimatum. Zelensky also accused War Secretary Pete Hegseth of delaying Patriot and AIM-9X missiles that NATO countries bought for Ukraine.
- Apple Schedules Launch Event For New Pro Macs Under Leadership Of John Ternus
Apple has scheduled a launch event for Oct. 28 in Los Angeles, and its invitation’s “Pro and tell” tagline points to high-end “Pro” devices with Apple’s own chips. Melius Research analyst Ben Reitzes expects new Macs, including a touchscreen notebook, though Apple has long resisted the idea of touchscreen Macs. It will be the third launch under CEO John Ternus, who took over from Tim Cook last month, and Reitzes sees the faster event pace as a meaningful shift from two events a year. Most of the Mac lineup is already refreshed, with the iMac the exception as it has not been updated since October 2024, and Macs accounted for 10% of last quarter’s revenue. Apple’s revenue reached $109.4 billion, up 16%, with Mac revenue up 29% to $10.4 billion, and the stock is up 26% this year.
- Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Compounded at More Than 19% a Year Over 6 Decades, Nearly Double the S&P 500's 10% Return. Can Investors Still Apply That Playbook Today?
The article looks at Warren Buffett's record at Berkshire Hathaway, which from 1964 to 2024 posted returns of 5,502,284%, or compounded annual growth of about 19.9%, versus 10.4% for the S&P 500 over the same six decades. The author argues that few investors can copy his exact playbook, but anyone can adopt his habits: buying companies they understand and believe in, such as Coca-Cola, holding investments for the long term, and steadily buying low-cost S&P 500 index funds rather than trying to beat the market by picking stocks.
- What could a Tesla-SpaceX merger earn? Cathie Wood's Ark Invest has a $2.7 trillion answer.
Cathie Wood's Ark Invest estimates that a combined SpaceX and Tesla could generate $3.8 trillion in sales and $2.7 trillion in operating profit by 2031, with SpaceX accounting for roughly 62% of sales and 69% of operating profit. That figure is far above current Wall Street forecasts of $43 billion in SpaceX sales and $107 billion in Tesla sales this year. Ark said Tesla's robotaxi network could help fund SpaceX's orbital data center plans, and that a merger could happen within five years. Dan Ives of Yorkville Ives put the chance of a Tesla-SpaceX merger by the end of 2027 at 80%.
