Walmart-owned Sam's Club is rolling out its largest Thanksgiving meal to date, serving 16 people with 11 offerings, up from nine last year, while the per-person price stays under $10. The menu includes boneless carver ham, hickory smoked turkey, mashed potatoes and macaroni and cheese, and members can buy the full spread or customize their order. The company said it spent roughly 12 months developing the meal with more than 20 employees, incorporating member feedback. It will be available from Oct. 28 in clubs and online, though the final cost may vary because some items are sold by weight. The article also cites September CPI data showing food prices up 2.5% from a year earlier, with food at home up 1.8% and food away from home up 3.5%.

- Trump new press secretary out after less than week
White House Press Secretary Katie Zacharia, 41, was pushed out on Friday after less than a week in the job, following a series of blunders including claiming to be a lawyer despite failing the bar exam. Her debut briefing lasted less than 15 minutes and took only three questions, and her disparaging remarks about China drew a response from China's Foreign Ministry. The episode is a distraction for 80-year-old President Donald Trump, who is campaigning for Republican candidates before the November 3 midterm elections, as polls show Americans souring over the war against Iran, inflation and perceptions of corruption.
- Trump new press secretary out after less than week
White House press secretary Katie Zacharia was pushed out after less than a week in the job, Fox News and AFP reported. The 41-year-old’s debut briefing lasted under 15 minutes and included just three questions, and she faced criticism after describing herself as a lawyer despite failing the bar exam. President Donald Trump, 80, had told her to “reconsider” the role as his administration faces pressure ahead of the Nov 3 midterm elections, where polls predict heavy losses for Republicans. Zacharia also drew backlash for disparaging China, prompting a response from Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning that she should “visit China more often.” She had replaced Karoline Leavitt, who helped reshape White House coverage of the press.
- Stablecoin remittances cost 84% less than traditional transfers, report finds
A third-quarter report from Borderless.xyz found that sending a $200 remittance via stablecoin rails costs a median 1% ($2), versus 6.36% ($12.72) for traditional transfers, roughly 84% cheaper. The gap is wider in emerging markets, with stablecoin costs at 2.9% in Sub-Saharan Africa versus 8.46% traditionally, and 1.25% in Latin America versus 5.64%. For a $10,000 business transfer to the eurozone, the lowest-cost stablecoin route costs as little as $26, compared with $135 to $150 for a traditional international wire. Stablecoin payouts can reach local bank accounts in minutes, with Brazil’s PIX settling in a median two minutes, while SWIFT transfers typically take a business day; completion rates vary, from 98.6% on Mexico’s SPEI to 73% on Costa Rica’s SINPE.
- Nearly Half of Americans Are Less Optimistic About Their Lives Than a Decade Ago , Poll Shows
An Economist/YouGov poll found that 48% of Americans are less optimistic about their lives than a decade ago, versus 23% who are more optimistic and 29% who feel about the same. The survey did not establish why, though other recent polling points to concerns about cost of living, political divisions and the economy. Among registered voters and prospective registrants, 62% said Trump cares little or not at all about people like them. A Pew survey released October 8 found that 21% rated the economy as excellent or good, down from 28% at the start of the year, and that 74% were very concerned about gasoline and energy prices, up from 43% in January. The poll covered 1,548 U.S. adults, and its voter subgroup had a margin of error of approximately 3.5 percentage points.
- Prediction: IonQ Will Cross $100 Per Share in 2027 (It's Less Than $40 Per Share Now)
The author predicts IonQ could climb above $100 per share in 2027 from its current level below $40, after the stock fell about 20% this year and more than 60% from its above $84 peak a year ago. The author argues fault-tolerant quantum computing may arrive sooner, with several industry leaders now seeing 2029 instead of 2030, and that IonQ's trapped-ion approach, which holds a record 99.99% two-qubit gate fidelity, gives it an edge. IonQ expects to begin delivering its 256-qubit Superion 256 system early next year and already has several preorders. Analysts expect revenue to grow nearly 80% next year, and the author believes a successful launch could push growth above that forecast, making a small position worth considering.

- 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.
