- 'We're Trading Them Like Baseball Cards': Mark Cuban Warns ‘Everything’s a Meme Stock’ as AAPL, GOOGL and MU Fuel Market Bubble Fears
Entrepreneur Mark Cuban told host Steven Bartlett on The Diary Of A CEO podcast that technology companies such as Apple and Google parent Alphabet are trading as “meme stocks,” driven by perceived value rather than fundamentals. He said he thinks the market is in a bubble, but not the same as the 2001 internet bubble, and listed Bitcoin and Micron Technology among the meme stocks. Cuban argued that a company can see its stock fall 18% after earnings that miss or beat by a penny, because traders react to anticipated information rather than the net present value of future cash flows; he said, “We’re trading them like baseball cards.” He added that some companies will survive, citing Dell Technologies and Amazon, whose stocks were crushed when the internet bubble burst, and noting that Amazon, though losing money at the time, is now worth trillions of dollars.
- EQX Labs Plans Zero-Fee Tokenized U.S. Stocks on Hyperliquid, Challenging Rival Issuers
EQX Labs plans to bring tokenized U.S. shares and ETFs, including Apple, Nvidia, Tesla and SpaceX, plus funds tracking the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100, to the Hyperliquid decentralized exchange. Its main pitch is zero issuer fees: there is no charge to create, redeem or hold tokens, and EQX earns only a share of Hyperliquid's standard trading fee. Each token is backed by real shares held by U.S. brokerages Alpaca Securities, StoneX Financial and Clear Street, with a public dashboard showing custody holdings. Dividends are automatically reinvested, and direct payments are planned after a proposed Hyperliquid upgrade. Rivals on the platform include xStocks from Payward and Dinari; the tokens will not be offered to people in the United States or residents of the British Virgin Islands, and no trading date has been set.
- Apple Wraps Up Fall Product Launches With Touch-Screen Notebook
- Apple announces $2,899 MacBook Pro — its first touchscreen laptop
Apple launched the MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR Display, its first MacBook with a touchscreen, using an XDR OLED panel with better colors and brightness than standard LCD displays. It comes in 14-inch and 16-inch sizes, starting at $2,899 and $3,199, and can be configured with M5 Pro or M5 Max chips. Those prices include a $300 increase Apple implemented in June due to a global memory and storage shortage. The article notes that rivals such as Microsoft, HP and Dell added touchscreens to their laptops years earlier, and Apple had previously dropped its Touch Bar after it failed to gain traction. Mac sales were $33.7 billion of Apple's $416.1 billion in 2025, making it the fourth-largest segment by sales.
- Apple brings touch to the Mac, reversing years-old stance on touchscreen laptop
Apple has launched its first laptop with a touchscreen, the MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR Display, which uses OLED technology. It runs M5 Pro or M5 Max chips, is lighter than Apple's current pro laptops, and runs macOS. The 14-inch version starts at $2,899 and the 16-inch version costs at least $3,399, both notable price increases, with sales beginning November 6. This is Apple's third major product launch under CEO John Ternus, in a laptop market suffering one of its worst slumps, which analysts link to AI-driven memory shortages that have raised prices. IDC reported that total PC shipments fell 20% year over year in the third quarter, while Apple's shipments dropped 11%.
- MacBook Pro: Apple launches its first ever touchscreen Mac – and brings back iconic feature
Apple has launched a new MacBook Pro, its first Mac with a touchscreen, which also brings back the glowing Apple logo on the back. The laptop uses the PROLED XDR display, Apple's OLED branding, and is lighter than the previous version, which weighed about 3.5 pounds. To support touch, Apple redesigned macOS so content is easier to manipulate and strengthened the hinge so the screen stays steady when touched. The 14-inch version starts at $2,899 and the 16-inch at $3,399, compared with $1,999 for the non-touchscreen model, which has a less powerful chip. Apple executives, including new CEO John Ternus, had previously dismissed touchscreen Macs mainly over ergonomic concerns about reaching across the keyboard.

Latest news
- Why Micron Stock Is Up Today
Micron Technology (MU) shares rose 5.5% as of 2:24 P.M. ET on Wednesday, October 28, after rival SK Hynix reported strong third-quarter results. SK Hynix posted revenue up 328% year over year to 104.6 trillion won ($78.9 billion) and operating profit up 632%, and said it expects demand to exceed supply through 2030 due to the difficulty of manufacturing advanced chips and the time needed to build factories. The article says tight supply could support Micron's pricing power, noting its latest revenue of $54.23 billion (up from $11.32 billion) and GAAP net income of $37.70 billion (up from $3.2 billion). It also cautions that the memory industry has traditionally followed boom-and-bust cycles.
- 3 Dow Jones stocks with questionable fundamentals
The article identifies three Dow Jones stocks with questionable fundamentals: 3M (MMM), Sherwin-Williams (SHW) and JPMorgan Chase (JPM). 3M, with a market cap of $88.66 billion and shares at $171.63 (17.9x forward P/E), has seen organic sales weaken over two years, with productivity and EPS declining over five years. Sherwin-Williams (market cap $78.68 billion, shares at $328.98, 25.2x forward P/E) grew annual sales 4% over the last two years, lagging industrials peers, and anticipates 4.6% sales growth next year. JPMorgan Chase (market cap $891.7 billion) posted annual revenue growth of 8% over two years and a 2.5% net interest margin, and the market expects its efficiency ratio to worsen by 1.7 percentage points.
- Is AMD Stock a Buy, Sell, or Hold Right Now? Here's What I'm Doing.
AMD stock is up about 140% so far in 2026, while rival Nvidia is up about 13%. AMD is catching up in AI after lagging early, with deals with hyperscalers such as OpenAI lifting second-quarter data center revenue 107% year over year to $6.7 billion. Analysts expect growth of 41% next quarter, 57% in the fourth quarter and 75% in 2027. The author argues this growth is already priced in: AMD trades at 68 times forward earnings, versus 27 times trailing earnings for Nvidia. Given this valuation, the author says the stock is more likely to underperform or lose value, and suggests investors may consider rotating into Nvidia and taking profits.
- Prediction: XRP Will Be Worth $250 Billion by 2030
The author predicts XRP will reach $4 by 2030, tripling from its current $1.30 and lifting its market cap from $83 billion to $250 billion. That would be a new all-time high, above XRP's previous peaks of $3.84 in 2018 and $3.65 in 2025. The author argues triple-digit growth targets for cryptocurrencies are unrealistic, citing JPMorgan's forecasts of 10% annualized growth for Bitcoin in its base case and 17% in its best case, and expects XRP to grow about 30% annually. The article also notes that stablecoins pegged 1:1 to the U.S. dollar are taking over part of XRP's cross-border payment role, and recent Ripple announcements, including final OCC approval for a national trust bank, highlight Ripple USD rather than XRP.
- We're adding a new, high-profile AI play to our Bullpen stocks to watch list
The article proposes adding SpaceX, founded by Elon Musk in 2002, to the Bullpen stocks-to-watch list. The company went public in June at $135 per share, opened at $150, peaked near $226, fell to about $105 in early August, and rebounded to the $140s. Its S-1 filing estimates a total addressable market of $28.5 trillion: $370 billion for Space, $1.6 trillion for Connectivity and $26.5 trillion for SI, formerly called AI. SI is the fastest-growing segment, with third-quarter revenue of $7.56 billion, up from $2.56 billion in the second quarter and $813 million a year earlier, while Anthropic's S-1 shows it has agreed to spend up to $120.5 billion on SpaceX compute over coming years. Starlink, the most profitable segment with $2.37 billion in third-quarter operating profit, added 1.6 million consumer subscribers, bringing its global base to just under 14 million, and SpaceX is expected to earn 32 cents per share in calendar 2026.
- Fed Holds Rates, but Two Officials Push for Hike as Polymarket December Odds Hit 82%
The Fed held rates at 3.75%–4.00% in a 10–2 vote, with Governor Lisa Cook and Cleveland Fed President Beth Hammack favoring a 25-basis-point increase; it was Cook's first dissent since joining the Fed in 2022. On Polymarket, the odds of a 25-basis-point hike in December rose to 82% from about 77% before the announcement, with more than $5.3 million in trading volume. Despite a weak September jobs report showing only 29,000 jobs added, the Fed said job gains kept pace with the workforce and unemployment changed little. Truflation forecasts September PCE inflation at 3.6% year over year, up from 3.4% in August, as gasoline and other energy goods rose 33.7% amid surging oil prices tied to the Iran war. The official PCE report and third-quarter GDP are due Thursday.
