- Big Tech just went from crushing the average stock to losing to it: Chart of the Day
Chip stocks are sliding in October while consumer staples are on track for their best month in nearly five years. The equal-weighted S&P 500 is beating the regular index by about 4 points so far this month, reversing a 4.5 percentage points deficit in September. The PHLX Semiconductor Index is still down about 12% this month after Monday's bounce, while Energy (XLE) is up 13% and Staples (XLP) up 9%. Yahoo Finance calculations suggest this could be the largest one-month swing in favor of the average stock since at least 1990. Ryan Detrick of Carson Group said late October has often marked major lows in midterm years, and midterm years have been the weakest part of the four-year presidential cycle since 1950, with a median S&P 500 gain of about 1%.
- Elon Musk's SpaceX clearly has a lot riding on the success of Anthropic, probably much to the surprise of investors
Anthropic's prospectus shows its relationship with SpaceX (SPCX) is larger than the original agreement described in SpaceX's S-1, with maximum compute spending of $120.5 billion through 2029. Aggregate monthly fees of about $3.1 billion, expected in December once all capacity is delivered, are almost 2.5 times the $1.25 billion a month for roughly 325,000 Nvidia GPUs disclosed earlier. EvercoreISI analyst Kutgun Maral estimates that at full run rate, Anthropic could account for 25% to 28% of SpaceX's first-quarter 2027 revenue guidance, and says this is not a near-term revenue risk but raises questions about dependence on a single customer. Anthropic's first-half 2026 revenue rose to $16.3 billion from $1.1 billion, while it posted an $80.7 billion net loss. It could list before the end of November, with a reported valuation of $1.5 to $2 trillion.
- Over 4,200 employees leave a major bank: One in every four staff cut this year
Sacombank (Sai Gon Tai Loc Joint Stock Commercial Bank) had 12,553 employees as of 30 September 2026, down 4,263 or 25.4% from end-2025, while the parent bank's headcount fell 27.1%. Headcount dropped by about 474 a month on average in the first nine months, to its lowest level in over a decade. Nine-month staff costs were about VND 5,108 billion, down 17.3%, while average cost per employee rose 22.8% to VND 45.2 million a month. Q3 pre-tax profit fell 52% to VND 1,757 billion and after-tax profit fell 53.6%, mainly due to sharply higher credit risk provisions and lower net interest income. Non-performing loans rose to VND 51,367 billion, or 7.33% of outstanding loans, from about 6.41% at the start of the year.
- Now is the time to accumulate bitcoin, Galaxy says
Alex Thorn, head of firmwide research at Galaxy Digital, argues the bitcoin bear market ended in June, when prices bottomed below $58,000, and that bitcoin is now in an accumulation phase like those before past rallies. He cites a recovery above the 50-week moving average after 44 weeks below it, along with five straight weekly closes above that level. Net long exposure from asset managers through CME bitcoin futures has fallen 57% from the record-high week, while spot bitcoin ETFs added 87,000 BTC after the June low. Bitcoin traded near $80,000, about 35% below its record high of over $126,000. Galaxy warns that a weekly close below $76,540 without recovery within a month would challenge its technical outlook.
- Just 10 Stocks Make Up Nearly 40% of the S&P 500. Here's an ETF That Can Help You Diversify.
The top 10 stocks make up nearly 40% of the S&P 500's value, up from 17% in 2015 and the highest level since the mid-1960s. The article notes that the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (VOO) has over 39% of its value in its top 10 holdings, led by Nvidia at 8.4%. It presents the Schwab International Dividend Equity ETF (SCHY), which tracks the Dow Jones International Dividend 100 Index of 100 high-yielding dividend stocks outside the U.S., as a complement, with 3.4% technology exposure versus 39.7% for VOO and a yield of about 3.7% versus about 1% for VOO. The article also flags SCHY's trade-offs: lower-growth holdings, top 10 holdings at 40% of its value, and foreign exchange risk. The author argues that adding SCHY could bring international diversification, extra dividend income and exposure to businesses less tied to the big tech giants.
- Down 30% or More for the Year, Are Any of These Top Cryptocurrencies Worth Buying Right Now?
The article reviews three cryptocurrencies that are down 30% or more this year: XRP, Dogecoin and Shiba Inu. The author sees XRP, with a market cap of about $82.4 billion and ties to Ripple and its RLUSD stablecoin, as worth a small speculative position, though any boost to token demand from network activity is hard to predict. Dogecoin (market cap about $13.5 billion, down about 34% this year) and Shiba Inu (market cap just under $3 billion, down about 31%) are described as lacking clear technical advantages, and the author does not see either as a suitable choice at this time.
