The article argues that rising Treasury yields could draw investors away from tech stocks toward low-risk fixed-income assets, potentially triggering a sharp tech sell-off. It points to the Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ), which passively tracks the Nasdaq-100, the 100 largest non-financial companies in the Nasdaq Composite. Its top holdings include Nvidia (8.1%), Apple (7.7%) and Microsoft (6.2%), and it charges a 0.18% expense ratio versus an average of 0.44% for actively managed ETFs. The article cites Grand View Research forecasts of 16% and 30.6% CAGRs for cloud computing and AI markets from 2026 to 2033, and notes QQQ's 549% total return over ten years versus 324% for the S&P 500, while stressing that past performance does not guarantee future gains.
- The Stock Market Looks Vulnerable. Should Investors Sell Their Stocks Now?
The author argues that investors should not sell simply because a market crash is possible, even though the S&P 500 is trading near its all-time high. Hotter-than-expected inflation has revived worries about further Federal Reserve rate hikes, and the IMF has warned that an AI-related correction or a sharp rise in bond yields could trigger broader market turmoil. The article highlights three risks: persistent inflation keeping rates high, a test for the AI investment boom, and high valuations for companies such as Palantir Technologies and Space Exploration Technologies. Instead of trying to time the market, it recommends reassessing each holding, diversifying beyond a concentrated portfolio, and keeping enough cash to avoid forced selling.
- AMZN Stock Set For Best Day In Three Months: Morgan Stanley Expects Amazon's AWS To Grow 47% In 2027, Denotes Stock As 'Top Pick'
Amazon (AMZN) shares rose nearly 5% on Monday, on track for their best day in almost three months, after Morgan Stanley reaffirmed its 'Overweight' rating and raised its price target to $350 from $335, moving the stock to 'Top Pick'. Analyst Brian Nowak said AWS's growth and profit potential is under-appreciated, forecasting 47% growth in 2027 and 42% in 2028, and expects Amazon to earn $16.50 per share in 2028. The outlook largely reflects Nvidia's indication that AWS will deploy 2 million additional NVIDIA GPUs over those two years. Separately, X-energy and American Electric Power announced a joint development agreement to assess a proposed 960-megawatt small modular reactor project in Indiana, with Amazon funding initial feasibility studies through milestone-based capital. The project is the second commercial development from the X-energy and Amazon alliance, which targets over 5 gigawatts of new nuclear capacity by 2039.

Latest news
- Is Nvidia Stock Really Trading for Just 8 Times 2030 Earnings?
Nvidia is the market's most valuable company, with a market cap above $5 trillion. It trades at 27 times adjusted trailing earnings, but only about 8 times analysts' estimate for fiscal 2030 earnings, a figure the author stresses is a moving target. Revenue growth accelerated from 56% in Q2 FY 2026 to 106% in Q2 FY 2027, though guidance points to a slight slowdown in the current quarter. The stock trades at 13 times next year's earnings, and the board recently authorized a record $150 billion in share repurchases. The author also acknowledges risks such as slower growth or contracting net margins.
- US Orders Civilian Agencies to Rip DeepSeek Out of Government Systems
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security on Monday ordered civilian federal agencies to remove DeepSeek products and third-party services built on the model from their IT systems, and to stop buying them. The notice warns that using DeepSeek may transfer sensitive data to China and could produce intelligence on U.S. persons and agencies. The Commerce Department, the Navy, and the states of New York, Tennessee and Virginia had already restricted DeepSeek. The FCC votes on October 29 on barring Chinese labs from testing electronics for U.S. use.
- Tesla-SpaceX merger is 'not so easy': Analyst
Speculation about a possible merger between SpaceX (SPCX) and Tesla (TSLA) has grown on Wall Street in recent weeks. RBC Capital Markets analyst Tom Narayan says it would not be simple: SpaceX would have to acquire Tesla, likely in an all-stock deal, and would need to pay a strong premium. He sets a $480 price target for Tesla, while the shares trade near $367. The longer-term focus may be Terafab, Elon Musk's chip initiative aimed at cutting production costs by up to 90% and bypassing Nvidia and TSMC. Musk currently controls 85% of SpaceX's voting rights and 20% of Tesla's.
- Is Nvidia (NVDA) Stock Priced Right?
Chip stocks fell sharply last week, and Nvidia (NVDA) dropped nearly 2% as investors worried that heavily indebted AI companies would face higher borrowing costs after bond yields jumped for CoreWeave, a cloud company Nvidia backs. CoreWeave shares had fallen more than 15% the day before. Nvidia's own numbers show no sign of that stress: it sold $96.2 billion of chips and systems in the quarter ended July, up 106% from a year earlier, mostly from data center sales. Its net profit margin was 63.66% over the past 12 months, and management expects $108.0 billion in revenue next quarter, assuming no data center sales to China. The key risk is whether customers can keep paying for chips if interest rates stay high, and the planned partnerships to bring over $500 billion of outside capital into AI infrastructure have not yet become definitive agreements.
- Networking Stocks Rally as Tech Rebound Lifts AI Gear Makers: Ciena and Arista Climb 4%, but Cisco Barely Moves
Networking stocks rallied with the tech rebound as suppliers of AI data center gear drew buying: Ciena (CIEN) rose 4% to $347.48 and Arista Networks (ANET) climbed 4% to $183.32, well ahead of the iShares U.S. Technology ETF (IYW) at 1.29% and the Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ) at 1.31%, while Cisco (CSCO) was practically unchanged at $107.06. Ciena's fiscal Q3 2026 adjusted EPS was $2.11 against a $1.73 consensus, with revenue up 37% year over year to $1.67 billion, and it raised fiscal 2026 revenue guidance to $6.42 billion. Its backlog reached $8.5 billion, but supply remains the limit, and management does not expect the market to return to balance before 2028. Two customers made up 41.7% of Q3 revenue, so Ciena's growth is concentrated. The next test is whether Ciena can hit its fiscal Q4 2026 revenue guidance of $1.75 billion under tight component supply.
- Gartner Predicts “80% of Neoclouds” Out of Business by 2030: Here’s Who Wins
Gartner forecast on October 14 that more than 80% of neoclouds will stop operating independently by 2030, and CoreWeave (CRWV) fell 25% last week. The article argues that hyperscalers funding AI capacity from their own cash flow, led by Amazon and Alphabet, are likely winners as credit tightens for indebted neoclouds. Amazon generated $140 billion of operating cash flow in fiscal 2025, more than covering $132 billion of capex, while CoreWeave's total debt reached $29.8 billion. Since their July 29 closing low, Microsoft, Alphabet and Amazon are up 15.6%, compared with 1.6% for IREN, CoreWeave and Nebius. Hyperscaler earnings in the coming weeks will need to show whether sold-out capacity is turning into results.
