Grant Cardone, CEO of Cardone Capital, says pairing a property purchase with a bitcoin position attracted new types of investors: about half had never invested in real estate with him, 80% of the first fund's investors had never owned bitcoin, the age of the group rose about 15 years, and check sizes grew roughly fourfold. He says conservative real estate investors dislike holding cash, which he notes is losing value, so they came for the property and bitcoin was added on. In his first deal, a property bought for 72 million USD should have sold for 85 million USD, and the 13 to 14 million USD difference was put into bitcoin rather than a discounted property. He says the plan is to wait for rents and bitcoin to improve.

- A High-Profile Stock Faces Simultaneous Net Selling by 16 Funds
HPG remained on the net-selling list for a fourth consecutive month, with 16 funds net selling about 8.3 million shares in September 2026, mainly from PYN Elite, DCDS, DCDE and LVF, according to FiinGroup. Banking was the only sector net bought above VND 1,000 billion (about VND 1,034 billion), while real estate saw net selling of about VND 2,212 billion and financial services about VND 1,347 billion. Funds recorded net outflows of VND 8,600 billion in Q3, the seventh consecutive quarter of withdrawals, bringing nine-month outflows to nearly VND 31,700 billion, up 34.2% year on year. The average return of equity funds fell 6% in Q3, with 87 of 88 funds posting negative results.
- Should You Forget Realty Income and Buy a BDC Instead?
The article asks whether income investors should favor business development companies (BDCs) over Realty Income, a large REIT. Realty Income offers a 5.8% forward yield, but over 10 years its stock fell 7% and its total return with reinvested dividends was 49%, versus 325% for the S&P 500, largely because it keeps issuing shares (share count up 264% over the decade) and is sensitive to rising rates. BDCs lend to middle-market companies at floating rates pegged to Fed benchmarks, so net interest income can rise with rates; the largest, Ares Capital, has a $29.3 billion portfolio and a 10.3% forward yield. The author nonetheless argues BDCs will likely struggle to beat the S&P 500 over the long run, since they distribute most of their earnings and also keep issuing shares, making them better suited to income-focused investors than to long-term compounding.
- California teachers pension fund hits $400B in bull market
The California State Teachers Retirement System (CalSTRS) reached $415.4 billion, announced at a September board meeting, which some economists attribute to a bull market. The fund returned 13.9% in fiscal 2025-26, well ahead of its 0.4% benchmark, with the strongest gains in private equity and inflation-sensitive investments, while real estate yielded $49.4 billion. Private equity slipped 1.9% in the six months to March 31, 2026, with a value of $58.7 billion. Jay Rogers noted the fund was 79% funded as of 2025 and still just over 20% short of its obligations, while New Jersey and Illinois plans sit around 39% to 40%. Economist Wayne Winegarden said the 14% return reflected a bullish stock market rather than necessarily smart investing, and that the unfunded liability is not yet sustainably addressed.

- BlackRock Is Building a Bitcoin ETF for Investors Who Can't Stomach the Swings
On Oct. 19, BlackRock filed a preliminary prospectus with the SEC for the iShares Bitcoin Managed Protection ETF, ticker PBIT, which aims to deliver Bitcoin-linked gains up to a cap while cushioning some losses. Instead of holding Bitcoin directly, the fund would use options on IBIT across three overlapping, roughly three-month tranches, buying a call struck near 90% of IBIT's starting price for the floor and selling a higher-strike call to cap upside, with Treasury bills held alongside. Each tranche's loss is capped at roughly 10% before fees, but BlackRock retains broad discretion to change terms, and the fee field is still blank. The filing could take effect as early as January 2027.

J.P. Morgan Asset Management released its 2027 Long-Term Capital Market Assumptions, projecting 10–15-year returns amid elevated inflation uncertainty and market volatility.

The report credits AI-driven productivity, higher corporate profits and higher real yields for lifting the global aggregate bond forecast to 5.3%, the highest in two decades. The U.S. large cap equity forecast rises 80bps to 7.5%, and developed markets overtake emerging markets for the first time, while diversified hedge funds are upgraded by 140bps. Bitcoin receives a return range but is not included as an allocation.

- Big Tech's AI spending has Wall Street worried
Dan Flax, Senior Research Analyst at Neuberger, discusses investor concerns over massive AI infrastructure spending by hyperscalers. He notes that cloud businesses are accelerating on AI workloads, but capital needs are rising, prompting debt issuance and an equity raise by Google earlier this year. On Meta, the company raised the low end of its total spending forecast to $135–145 billion this year and has about $825 billion in future spending commitments, which weighed on the stock. Flax argues the core digital advertising business still generates robust operating cash flow, and customers want to rent Meta's compute and use its models, so he expects more visible growth over the coming months that could ease market concerns.
- Senate Democrat Probes Tether Payments to Ex-White House Crypto Adviser’s Firm
Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., asked Tether to provide records of its dealings with Bo Hines and his consulting firm Nxum by Nov. 3. The Wall Street Journal reported that Nxum earned $6.3 million from a Tether deal struck in May 2025, while Hines, who kept a one-third stake in Nxum, helped craft the GENIUS Act. A Nxum representative said Hines was not involved in the deal and received no Tether-derived funds while in government, and Tether said external counsel found no evidence of wrongdoing. Blumenthal argued the payment structure implicates federal ethics, anticorruption and lobbying laws.

- Scalpers offer Apple iPhone Duo buyers hundreds extra outside Beijing launch
On the day Apple globally launched the iPhone Duo, its first foldable phone, scalpers outside the Sanlitun store in Beijing offered to pay customers an extra 3,000 Chinese yuan ($448) to buy their newly purchased phones. One scalper said tight supply could let the Duo sell at a higher price for half a month. According to Counterpoint Research, China is the single largest foldable market globally, and about 100 people were in line at the Sanlitun store early on launch day. Apple said walk-in purchases would not be available on launch day in mainland China, online orders were limited to two phones each, and one buyer's online delivery timeline stretched to January 2027. Apple said a version of Apple Intelligence will begin beta testing this month in mainland China, while Chinese official media cited former CEO Tim Cook as saying the revamped Siri AI would not yet be available in the country.
- Musk: Optimus and Cybercab “Will Be the Vast Majority of Tesla’s Value” as Earnings Loom
Elon Musk said on X that Optimus and Cybercab will be the vast majority of Tesla's value, ahead of third-quarter results due after the close on Oct. 21. The article notes Tesla's operating margin fell from 16.8% in 2022 to 4.6% in 2025 and 1.4% in the second quarter of 2026 as AI and research spending climbed, while the stock trades at 189x forward earnings versus a five-year average of 107.7x. Gary Black of The Future Fund says earnings revisions are negative, and the article points to robotaxi competition and Cybercab's many limitations as further risks. The author argues the valuation prices in robots and robotaxis, and wants to see Cybercab running as a real fleet first.
- Gold Breaks Below $4,000 as Oil Surge Fuels Fed Rate Fears
Gold slipped below $4,000/oz on Thursday night before buyers pushed it back above that level on Friday, though rebounds have stalled near $4,025. Brent crude rose to a five-month high of nearly $115/barrel and WTI broke above $100/barrel on tension around key Middle East shipping lanes, reinforcing expectations that interest rates could rise and stay elevated for longer. Lower-than-expected weekly jobless claims, a stronger US Dollar and a tech-led stock selloff also weighed on non-yielding gold. Next week brings Wednesday's FOMC decision, followed by the PCE inflation reading and the first estimate of Q3 US GDP.
