- Spain Green Promises Meet Sovereign Accountability - By Fransiscus Nanga Roka
Fransiscus Nanga Roka’s opinion piece examines the dispute between Spain and Blasket Renewable Investments, which arose after Spain reversed incentive programs for renewable energy that had attracted investors. Many investors pursued awards under the Energy Charter Treaty and later sued in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia; the D.C. Circuit ruled on August 16, 2024 that the FSIA arbitration exception allowed the cases to proceed, and the Supreme Court declined review on June 29, 2026. The author argues that jurisdiction to confirm an award is separate from authority to seize specific assets, since under Sections 1609 and 1610 of the FSIA, property remains immune unless an exception is shown. In June 2026, a federal court ordered Blasket to exclude Spain’s football federation, national team and central bank from the definition of “Spain” for asset discovery. The article recommends that Spain publish a list of outstanding awards and negotiate payment schedules.
- Should You Buy Costco Stock Before Oct. 30? Here's the Clear Answer.
Costco will pay a $1.47 per-share dividend on Nov. 13 to shareholders on record as of Oct. 30, but the yield is only 0.6%, well below Coca-Cola (2.3%), Procter & Gamble (2.7%) and PepsiCo (4.6%). The article argues a stronger reason to consider the stock is its history of beating the S&P 500: it is up 13.4% this year versus 13.1% for the index, and 116% over five years versus 73%. It also points to room for expansion, from 914 warehouses at the end of fiscal 2025 to 939 at the end of fiscal 2026 and an expected 967 at the end of fiscal 2027. Costco has also paid special dividends of $15 per share in 2024 and $10 in 2020, though there is no set schedule.

- Is Visa Stock Still a Buy After Gaining 14% This Year?
Visa shares hit an all-time high of $401, up about 12% over the past two weeks from $359 at the end of September and up 14% year to date. Key catalysts include approval from the People's Bank of China to set up a bankcard clearing institution in China and the move of Visa Direct's stablecoin to commercial deployment on Oct. 15. Baird and BMO Capital both raised their price targets. Visa reports fiscal fourth-quarter earnings on Oct. 27 and has raised its dividend every year since 2009, last year by 14% to $0.67 per share. The author still considers the stock a buy ahead of earnings, citing a forward P/E of 24.

- Crypto vault deposits top $10 billion as lending risks draw regulatory scrutiny
Deposits into crypto lending vaults have risen from $4 billion at the start of last year to more than $10 billion, according to the Financial Times. Each vault is run by a 'curator' who selects lending strategies through smart contracts on DeFi platforms, sets risk limits and collects fees, with typical returns of 3% to 10% and riskier strategies reaching 20% or more. Risks include illiquid or hard-to-sell collateral, automatic liquidations, hacks and coding errors, while investors may focus on headline yields. Fintechs, digital asset treasury firms and hedge funds are among the main depositors, and Bitcoin lender Two Prime launched a vault on Pareto targeting 1.5% to 2% yields, with a minimum deposit of 5 WBTC and about $10 million of its own capital absorbing initial losses. U.S. and European regulators are examining whether existing rules should apply, and the SEC has questioned vaults that hold securities.
