- This $40 Gold Mining Stock Could Turn $5,000 Into a Fortune
Barrick Mining (B) trades near $40, down more than 6% so far this year and well below its 52-week high of $54.69, as gold has slipped almost 4% from its January record and expectations of a rate increase weigh on the metal. The article notes Barrick trades at just under 12 times forward earnings, below its mining peers, with a dividend yield of about 2.23% and a 27.17% payout ratio. In the second quarter, the company reported net earnings of $1.22 billion, up 50%, gold output of 796,000 ounces, and $5.93 billion in cash against $4.62 billion in debt. Recent developments include averting a strike at Loulo-Gounkoto in Mali, signing a 15-year licensing agreement for the North Mara mine in Tanzania, and settling its lawsuit with Newmont, which includes a $1.95 billion payment to Barrick.
- Barrick Mining (B) Earnings Rose 50%, but Is Cash Flow Keeping Up?
Barrick Mining (NYSE: B) reports third-quarter results early next month. Its second-quarter net earnings rose 50% year on year to $1.22 billion, helped by higher gold and copper prices, but attributable free cash flow fell to $141 million from $212 million a year earlier. The company returned $1.50 billion to shareholders in the quarter, more than the cash it had left after spending, while project spending rose 49% and all-in sustaining costs for gold climbed 11%. Cash fell from the end of March but still exceeds debt, and its dividend policy aims to pay about half of attributable free cash flow. An agreement with Newmont to expand the Nevada Gold Mines complex brings Barrick a $1.95 billion cash payment and supports an IPO of its North American gold assets expected by year end, subject to market conditions.

- Russia-Ukraine: Is peace within reach?
Russia and Ukraine have both signaled readiness to resume talks mediated by the US, after US envoy Steve Witkoff met President Putin in St. Petersburg on October 21. Reuters reports that Yuri Ushakov acknowledged US proposals from Oslo did not fully meet Moscow's wishes, and the timing of a trilateral round is still unsettled: Kyiv wants early November, while the Kremlin points to after November 10. Meanwhile, Zelensky said Russia fired 21 ballistic missiles on October 22, and Russian officials said Ukraine launched 630 UAVs toward Moscow, figures not yet fully verified by third parties. Moscow seeks a long-term security settlement rather than a short-term ceasefire, while Donbas, territory and military limits remain the key sticking point, with Kyiv opposing ceding areas it still controls.

- Proposal to let the Government decide on extraordinary investment incentive and support packages
A draft amendment to the Investment Law, presented to the National Assembly by Finance Minister Ngô Văn Tuấn, would widen market access for foreign investors and add incentives to promote the green and digital economies. The draft adds 4 new forms of investment support: supply chain development, high-tech product manufacturing, fixed-asset investment, and business cooperation with universities, vocational schools and science and technology organisations, plus exemptions or reductions of sea-area use fees. Under the proposal, the Government could decide on extraordinary incentive packages tied to foreign-invested firms' commitments on technology, R&D, local value added, and green and digital transformation. The Economic and Financial Committee asked that the power to loosen market-access conditions be carefully weighed and that criteria for special incentives be set out in the law itself.

- This Top Investment Strategist Thinks a Bitcoin Supercycle Is Coming Soon. Here's Why He's Wrong.
The article argues a Bitcoin “supercycle” probably isn't coming soon and that past supercycle calls have a poor record. James Thorne, chief market strategist at Wellington-Altus Private Wealth, said in an interview with Bitcoin Magazine on Oct. 15 that he expects a run “for the ages” and that the four-year cycle is no longer relevant. He cites the Genius Act stablecoin law, growing asset tokenization, and spot Bitcoin ETFs that had drawn $57.8 billion in cumulative net inflows as of Oct. 20. The article counters that “supercycle” has no fixed definition and that such predictions often appear early in bull markets and have failed before, and it outlines an approach of accumulating Bitcoin gradually in small amounts, without overweighting it in the portfolio, and holding for at least five years.
- Defense giant Saab sees orders triple after Gripen fighter jet deal with Ukraine
Saab reported third-quarter earnings and revenue above expectations, with new orders more than tripling from a year earlier to 65.8 billion Swedish kronor ($6.6 billion), boosted by the Gripen deal with Ukraine. Third-quarter sales reached 20.6 billion kronor and EBIT reached 1.95 billion kronor, both ahead of FactSet forecasts of 20 billion and 1.9 billion kronor. The 24.6 billion kronor contract for 16 Gripen E jets for Ukraine was signed in June, with deliveries scheduled for 2029-2030, while other orders included 10.1 billion kronor for GlobalEye for a Middle East customer and 8.7 billion kronor for systems for German frigates. CEO Micael Johansson said growing customer demand is reflected in major contract awards, but Saab shares have fallen in recent months as some investors question whether valuations have outpaced the industry's ability to deliver.
