The article argues that Zcash (ZEC) could make an investor a millionaire only if it repeats nearly Bitcoin's entire rise since 2017. Zcash's market cap was $21.5 billion as of Oct. 11, close to Bitcoin's level in early 2017, and if it followed Bitcoin's path, $10,000 would grow to about $789,000, so roughly $12,700 invested would be needed to reach that goal, implying a $1.5 trillion valuation for Zcash. The author notes that Litecoin and Bitcoin Cash, which copied Bitcoin's fixed supply, remain 84.4% and 92.2% below their all-time highs. Zcash is presented as different because its zero-knowledge (ZK) proofs enable private payments while it keeps Bitcoin-like rules, including a 21 million coin cap, and about 29% of its supply sits in shielded addresses. The article also points to Grayscale's Zcash ETF, the first with direct exposure, which began trading on Aug. 25.

- Bond Market Volatility: History Says This Is the Smartest Investing Move Investors Can Make
The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield has risen from below 4.4% to 5.28% in recent months, raising borrowing costs and possibly pressuring stocks. However, Fidelity’s analysis of S&P 500 data from January 1992 to April 2026 found that rate hikes often coincided with higher S&P 500 returns over the following 12 months when the Federal Reserve raised rates alongside strong economic growth. Higher yields may reflect economic optimism, or concerns about government debt and the large volume of corporate bonds issued by AI companies. The author advises investors to stay the course, noting the S&P 500 has averaged 9.98% annual returns since 1928, and the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (VOO) has returned more than 15% annualized over 10 years and about 13.8% over five years.
- Missed Out On Micron and Sandisk? Make Sure You Don't Miss Out On This Memory Stock.
The article argues Penguin Solutions (PENG) is a growth stock worth watching, riding the same tailwinds as memory chipmakers Micron and Sandisk. Revenue in fiscal 2026's fourth quarter rose 68% year over year, driven by its integrated memory segment, which grew 158% and made up 60% of sales on demand for CXL memory modules that address AI data center bottlenecks. The company won six new AI infrastructure data center customers in the quarter, including four neocloud providers. Net income jumped 888% to $93 million, the stock trades at a 12.5 forward P/E and a market cap of about $3 billion, and guidance calls for 40% revenue growth in fiscal 2027. Penguin Solutions has beaten EPS estimates eight consecutive times.
- Why a bank tax could be bad for you : Banks make huge profits but John Healey plan could backfire
Chancellor John Healey is expected to raise the bank levy from 3% to 8% in this month's Budget, aiming to bring in an extra £2 billion a year to cover a multibillion-pound shortfall. The move comes after the top four banks made about £29 billion in profit in the first six months of the year. Industry groups warn that higher taxes could hit investment, drive up business and mortgage costs, and push international banks to move out of the UK. The article cites a total tax rate of 46.5% for a typical London corporate and investment bank, compared with 42.2% in Amsterdam, 39.1% in Frankfurt and 27.9% in New York. Savers could also lose out if banks cut savings rates or shareholder payouts, and JP Morgan's Jamie Dimon has previously said he would scrap plans for a £3 billion HQ in Canary Wharf.
- Can You Make Money Off Netflix Stock Now?
Netflix shares have dropped 12% since mid-September from a recent high of $80.32, after Wells Fargo downgraded the stock on September 18 over concerns about engagement and content. View hours grew 2% in the first half of 2026, versus 1.5% in 2025. Since 2010, the stock has fallen 20% or more within 30 trading days on 16 occasions; at the median, a $10,000 investment made on the day of a drop was worth about $14,100 a year later, though buyers typically faced a further median fall of 17% first. Netflix still keeps 29.7% of sales as operating profit, versus 18.5% for the S&P 500, and trades at 21.7 times earnings against 21.9 for the index. However, revenue growth slowed to 13.4% in the latest quarter from 16.2% before, and the article says revenue growth in the report expected around October 20, 2026 is the key figure to watch.

- An AI bust could come from places investors arent watching , an economist says
Concerns about an AI bubble are growing, and TS Lombard's Dario Perkins warns that investors may be overlooking other risks. Debt among smaller cloud providers, model developers and suppliers could reach $2 trillion by the end of 2027. Perkins does not see this as a systemic risk, but warns that earnings disappointments and canceled orders could ripple through the ecosystem, and that a chip glut could follow over-ordering. Much of the industry's revenue growth still comes from spending within the AI ecosystem rather than from businesses and consumers outside it. He also flags political backlash, noting that ordinary people dislike AI and nearby datacenters, and warns that one high-profile accident could turn AI toxic.
- Yen jumps after JGB auction draws big demand , euro finds relief
The yen rose 0.2% to 158.15 per dollar in Asian trading after a 20-year Japanese government bond auction drew bids of 5.84 times the amount sold, well above the 4.01 times at the previous auction, and the yield fell 6 basis points to 3.71%. A State Street strategist said the record demand suggests sidelined cash is returning and that JGBs are becoming a relative haven from political and fiscal volatility in Europe, particularly France. Anti-government protests in France prompted curfews in several cities, while Italy said it would send 500 troops after two days of unrest, and the euro rallied 0.2% to $1.1234. Elsewhere, bitcoin slipped 0.3% to $81,674.25 and ether edged down 0.2% to $2,393.21.
- Unemployment rate dips to 4 . 7 % - but vacancies hit five - year low
Vacancies fell by 21,000 to 691,000 in the three months to September, the biggest drop since the three months to March and the lowest since July to September 2014 outside the pandemic, while unemployment dipped in the three months to August. Payroll numbers were down 66,000 over the year to September. The ONS said the fall was mainly among smaller firms struggling with higher labour costs, following rises in employer national insurance, the minimum wage and workers' rights. A CBI survey found labour costs and regulations were making it harder to create jobs, and firms urged the Chancellor not to add to their burden in the October 28 Budget. ICAEW's Suren Thiru said the labour market is 'running on idle' and unemployment could climb above 5 per cent, while Shadow Chancellor Andrew Griffith blamed Labour's 'Jobs Tax' and red tape.
- CNBC Daily Open: Tech rebounds in the U.S., but Asia isn’t buying it yet
U.S. tech stocks rebounded as the Nasdaq Composite rose more than 1% on Monday, with Nvidia up 1.4% and Tesla up 3.8%. In Asia, however, tech shares fell on Tuesday, with South Korea's Kospi down over 4% and Japan's Nikkei 225 down 1.6%. Nvidia also unveiled plans to back four German AI startups as part of its nearly $10 billion European investment commitment. Jenny Lee of Granite Asia said Asian companies are reaching IPOs much sooner, often at four to five years old, while Jio Platforms' Indian IPO saw its anchor investor quota oversubscribed more than 30 times, aiming to raise up to 302 billion rupees ($3.2 billion). In Singapore, several agricultural stocks fell after Senior Minister K Shanmugam warned that companies would not escape responsibility for possible roles in the haze, noting seven firms had been questioned by the Singapore Exchange.
- NiSource (NI) Stock Looks Overvalued Against Its Dividend Outlook
NiSource has nearly doubled shareholders' money over the past five years, delivering a 97.6% total return, which raises the question of whether dividends can justify the current share price. The article highlights a new 20-year energy agreement with Microsoft, including customer-funded grid upgrades and long-term electric service for data centers, which may affect future capital needs and cash-flow visibility. Using a Dividend Discount Model with inputs of about $1.35 dividend per share, roughly 9.07% return on equity, a payout ratio slightly above 61%, and implied dividend growth of about 3.5%, the estimated intrinsic value sits meaningfully below the current share price of $41.95. The model still does not bridge that gap, suggesting income investors are paying a premium for a relatively steady payout with modest assumed growth.
