Robinhood (HOOD) shares are down 11% in 2026 at $100.96 after sliding 9% in today's session, while the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust is up 13% and Interactive Brokers (IBKR) has gained 31%. Webull (BULL) is down 24% year to date and the Financial Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLF) is up 0.3%, so the article attributes Robinhood's weakness to company-specific factors. Robinhood began allowing 24-hour weekend trading of U.S. stocks on October 1, but the article says it is unclear whether the added revenue will close the gap with Interactive Brokers. It suggests that a measured review of a position may make more sense than a full exit, unless broader damage across brokerages strengthens the case for selling.

- Cameco Stock Is Down 36% From Its All-Time High. Here's What Needs to Happen to Make It a Buy
Cameco (CCJ) shares are down nearly 26% over the past six months and 36% from their all-time high, even though uranium trades at prices rarely seen outside brief spikes. A weak second-quarter report drove the decline, with declines across all three segments, including uranium production falling to 3.9 million pounds due to spring road conditions and a temporary Cigar Lake suspension. Management nonetheless maintained full-year Westinghouse EBITDA guidance of $370 million to $430 million and uranium production guidance of 19.5 million to 21.5 million pounds, and raised its expected realized uranium price to CA$91 to CA$96 per pound. The author argues that 10.1 million pounds in the first six months and solid third-quarter results could restore confidence, while the upcoming Westinghouse IPO, in which Cameco holds 49%, could release value for shareholders.
- Vistra Stock Surged Following Its $4.2 Billion Federal Loan. With the Stock Down 23% Over the Past Year, Is It Time to Buy?
On Oct. 5, the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Energy Dominance Financing announced a conditional loan commitment of up to $4.2 billion for Vistra to add power capacity without building new plants or reactors. The funding will support nuclear uprates and modernization at three PJM plants, Beaver Valley in Pennsylvania and Davis-Besse and Perry in Ohio, adding 433 MW of clean baseload capacity, extending operations by 20 years, and preserving nearly 4 gigawatts of generation that serves more than 3 million homes. Vistra stock is down 23% over the past year and 27% from its all-time high of nearly $220 per share set last year, and trades at about 18.5 times earnings versus roughly 25 times previously. The article projects earnings to grow 18% in each of the next two years and argues the dip creates a buying opportunity, while noting the risk of regulators imposing price caps or other market interventions.
- These S&P 500 Stocks Are Down More Than 80% From Their All-Time Highs. Could They Be Good Contrarian Buys?
The article examines three S&P 500 stocks down more than 80% from their all-time highs: Nike (NKE), PayPal (PYPL) and PG&E (PCG). Nike is down about 81% from its peak, including 45% in 2026 alone, after fiscal first-quarter 2027 revenue fell 4% to $11.2 billion and full-year sales are expected to decline at a high-single-digit rate; the author would avoid it. PayPal, down about 82%, still grew transaction revenue 5% year over year in the June quarter, holds around 45% of the online payments market, and trades at nine times estimated future earnings, which the author suggests may make it worth buying on weakness. PG&E, also down about 82%, has struggled since its 2017 sell-off over reports linking its equipment to wildfires and the lawsuits that followed, though it has risen 28% over five years; at seven times expected earnings, the author avoids it due to uncertainty over state wildfire liability protection.
- Inflation Rose to 3.7% in September. Is It Time to Sell the S&P 500?
Consumer prices rose 3.7% over the 12 months through September, up from 3.4% in August, with gasoline accounting for much of the jump. On the day of the report, the S&P 500 fell about 1.1% to near 7,719. Using data since 1950, the author found the index rose the following year in about 69% of months when inflation was at 3.5% or higher, with an average gain of roughly 7%, versus about 79% and 11% after readings below 3%. Most of the 337 high-inflation months fell in the 1970s and 1980s, and outcomes depended heavily on timing. The author argues this record does not justify selling an index fund for a long-term holder, but expected gains should be lower.
- Inflation Rose to 3 . 7 % in September . Is It Time to Sell the S & P 500 ?
The consumer price index rose 3.7% over the 12 months through September, up from 3.4% in August, with gasoline prices jumping 9.1% in the month and accounting for over half the increase. Excluding food and energy, prices were up 2.6% from a year earlier. Looking at data since 1950, the author found the S&P 500 rose in about 69% of the 12-month periods following readings of 3.5% or higher, with an average gain of roughly 7%, versus about 79% and 11% when inflation was below 3%. Most of those high-inflation readings came in the 1970s and 1980s, and outcomes depended heavily on timing. Concluding that the record does not justify selling an index fund, the author says he would keep holding but would not expect gains as large as in low-inflation periods.
- Inflation Rose to 3 . 7 % in September . Is It Time to Sell the S & P 500 ?
On Wednesday, Oct. 14, the Bureau of Labor Statistics said consumer prices rose 3.7% over the 12 months through September, up from 3.4% in August, with gasoline up 9.1% in September alone; core inflation was 2.6%, and the S&P 500 slid about 1.1% that day to near 7,719. Using monthly data since 1950, the author finds the index usually kept rising a year after inflation readings of 3.5% or higher, though with smaller average gains of about 7% versus about 11% when inflation was below 3%. Around 6 in 10 of those hot months came in the 1970s and 1980s, and timing mattered: the index was lower a year after every reading from April 2021 through February 2022, but rose after readings near the June 2022 peak. The author says a 3.7% reading alone does not justify selling an S&P 500 index fund for long-term holders, though investors should expect smaller gains.

- UPS Yields 6.7% After Firing Amazon. Here's Whether the Dividend Survives 2027.
UPS shares yield 6.7% as of October 16. The company has moved away from high-volume, low-margin Amazon deliveries and froze its dividend earlier this year, ending a 16-year streak of increases. The article says the payout will likely remain frozen through 2026 and 2027, citing competition from 10- and 30-year Treasury yields above 5% and other industrial dividend payers, but calls the dividend's safety questionable: UPS generated $5.47 billion in free cash flow in 2025, with $5.4 billion going to dividends, and free cash flow is projected to fall to $5.05 billion in 2026 and $5.01 billion in 2027, with the dividend absorbing about 98% of 2026 free cash flow. Rising competition and high fuel prices add pressure, and the article suggests investors may find more safety in the industrial sector.

- What Could X-Energy (XE) Gain From Its 960MW Indiana Nuclear Project?
X-Energy (NasdaqGS:XE), American Electric Power and Amazon agreed to assess a 960 MW advanced nuclear project in Indiana using Xe-100 reactors, on a former coal plant site. Under the joint development agreement, Amazon would provide development funding and commit to a long-term power purchase. The article says the deal offers commercial validation for X-Energy's reactor platform rather than immediate financial relief, as the company, with a $4.3b market cap, reported $150.28 million in revenue, a $448.87 million loss, and a 20.2x price-to-sales ratio. The next key milestone is whether the study reaches a final investment decision for the Sullivan County site.
