At the Ministry of Construction's Q3 2026 press conference, Le Kim Thanh, Director of the Department of Transport and Traffic Safety, said traffic accidents remain serious, with an average of 26.54 deaths per day in the first nine months and an estimated total below 10,000 deaths this year. Speeding, which leads to insufficient safe following distances, accounts for about 18% of violations. The ministry is reviewing expressway signage and traffic arrangements, studying additional visual guidance, and reviewing speed and safe-distance rules against practice and international experience, while also updating driver-training content. The Road Administration is coordinating with the traffic police (C08) to prepare for penalties, and the traffic police have proposed the expressway sections where the penalties will be applied.

- 44% of Americans are missing out on the best wealth-building tool of all — are you? Here’s how to fix that
According to the Federal Reserve's Survey of Consumer Finances, only 56% of Americans participated in the stock market in 2025, down from 58% in 2022. The article argues that stocks are a powerful wealth-building tool because of compounding: the S&P 500 has historically averaged annual returns of around 10% since 1957, while savings accounts have typically yielded under 1%. For example, investing $300 a month over a 35-year career could grow to roughly $1 million at a 10% average return, versus about $220,000 at 3%. To overcome barriers of money or knowledge, it highlights automated investing app Acorns, which rounds up everyday purchases to the nearest dollar and invests the difference in a diversified ETF portfolio.
- Bill Ackman Is Directing Up to $3 Billion Into Howard Hughes' Insurance Arm, Vantage, as Part of His Plan to Build a Modern Berkshire Hathaway. Is HHH Stock the Way to Play His Buffett Ambitions?
Bill Ackman, through Howard Hughes Holdings (HHH), agreed to acquire insurer Vantage for $2.1 billion, a price largely reflecting its roughly $1.8 billion book value. HHH plans to invest $2.5 billion to $3 billion of excess free cash flow into the insurance unit over five years, mostly in stocks, with Pershing Square managing the portfolio for free. Ackman also wants to charge third-party investors management fees on real estate investments, similar to Brookfield and Blackstone. Pershing Square raised its stake in HHH to 47% after investing another $900 million in 2025. Shares surged on Ackman's remarks before pulling back near the $66.95 book value per share, and the article notes that results will take years to judge, while Greenlight Capital, a similar model, lost money for investors.
- How to Earn $600 a Month From a Company That Builds and Operates Power Plants for Data Centers
Data centers need large amounts of power, and Southern Company (SO), an electric utility owner and operator, stands to benefit. The stock offers a 3.4% dividend yield paid quarterly; the article estimates that earning an average of $600 a month ($7,200 a year) would require investing about $212,000 at the current price. Data center electricity use across the system grew 55% year over year in the second quarter, and active data center load exceeded 1.2 GW, up 500 MW from a year earlier. The company has over 17 GW of large-load agreements coming online through the mid-2030s, including a 25-year, 3.2 GW contract for Georgia Power to serve OpenAI's data center campus in Effingham County. It plans to build 10 GW of new generation and, with Google, is uprating the Vogtle and Hatch nuclear plants to add 96 MW.

- Voice AI model built to accurately capture real multilingual medical conversations
Speechmatics has released Oak, a medical speech recognition model built to transcribe clinical conversations where speakers switch languages mid-sentence. In an internal study, Oak transcribed 91% of medical terms in English and 10 other commonly used languages, versus an average of 74.3% for eight other providers. Speechmatics argues word error rate does not capture the risk of errors such as a wrong drug name, so it measures medical term recall instead. In Spanish, Oak scored 96.3% against an average of 86.8% for the others. Oak supports 55 languages, can transcribe an hour of audio within 18 seconds, and can be deployed in the cloud or self-hosted within a healthcare organization.

- Bitcoin ETFs just saw their biggest day in a month thanks entirely to BlackRock
U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs took in $526.6 million on Monday, the largest daily net inflow in nearly a month, driven entirely by BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), which pulled in $665.2 million, its biggest daily inflow since Oct. 7 last year, according to SoSoValue data. Fidelity's FBTC lost $83.6 million and Grayscale's GBTC shed $54.9 million, while the remaining funds recorded no net flows. The inflow more than erased last week's $228.5 million of withdrawals, but funds remain about $90.5 million in net outflows for October, according to CoinDesk calculations. Ether funds moved the opposite way, losing $103.3 million in their fourth consecutive session of outflows, with BlackRock's ETHA accounting for $95.4 million of that.
- A Big4 bank cut deposit rates in the morning, then raised them again in the afternoon
VietinBank cut its deposit rates for terms of 6 months and longer on the morning of Oct. 20, then restored them to pre-adjustment levels by the afternoon. Its afternoon rate board showed 3.5% per year for 6 to under 12 months, 5.9% for 12 to under 24 months and 6% for 24 months and longer, versus 3%, 5.4% and 5.5% in the morning. Rates for terms under 6 months stayed unchanged, including 2.1% for 1 to under 3 months and 2.4% for 3 to under 6 months. The move came as banks followed the State Bank of Vietnam's guidance to cut deposit rates by at least 0.5 percentage points for terms of 6 months and longer, and Vietcombank and Agribank were among those reducing rates.
- IVV vs. SPY: Which S&P 500 ETF Is the Better Buy for Long-Term Investors?
The article compares two ETFs that track the S&P 500, iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV) and State Street SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY), which have nearly identical holdings. The main difference is the expense ratio: IVV charges 0.03% a year, one-third of SPY's 0.09%, and its distribution yield is about 1.1% versus 1% for SPY. SPY's high liquidity remains valuable for active traders. The article concludes that IVV is the better choice for long-term investors, since lower costs can compound over time.
- Warren Buffett Is Issuing a Stark Warning About the Stock Market. Here's What History Says Comes Next.
Warren Buffett has warned that investors are taking on too much risk, likening the market to 'a church with a casino attached' and saying people have never been in a more gambling mood. The article points to the S&P 500 Shiller CAPE Ratio, which has stayed above 40 since May of this year; historically, the only other time it held above that level for months was during the dot-com bubble, when it peaked around 44 before the bear market began in March 2000. The article notes that 40 is not an automatic trigger for a downturn, and no metric can predict timing. It suggests investors focus on quality stocks with solid fundamentals and be ready to hold them for at least a few years.
- Early Uber Investor Jason Calacanis Predicts Waymo Could Buy Lucid Or Rivian — Calls Its Chinese-Car Optics ‘Really Bad’
Early Uber investor Jason Calacanis predicts Waymo will buy Lucid Group (LCID) or Rivian Automotive (RIVN), arguing that its reliance on Chinese-made Zeekr vehicles creates cost and reputational problems. He says the arrangement is technically not illegal today, but Waymo would need to pay a tariff of over 100%, and it has drawn national-security concerns on Capitol Hill. According to Semafor, Waymo aims to grow its fleet from about 4,000 vehicles to 8,000 by the end of 2026 and 20,000 by the end of 2027, after closing a $5 billion term loan and a $16 billion equity raise this year. Uber has committed to buying at least 35,000 Lucid vehicles, while its Rivian deal starts with 10,000 autonomous R2 SUVs, with rides expected to begin in 2028. Calacanis, who recently bought small stakes in Lucid, Rivian, WeRide (WRD) and Pony.ai (PONY), expects consolidation in the autonomous-driving sector within 24 months.
