- Should You Ignore the SpaceX Hype and Buy Rocket Lab Instead?
Space stocks surged after SpaceX's June IPO, but since then SpaceX shares have swung between $105 and $225 and Rocket Lab has fallen 65% from its June peak near $150. SpaceX's launch services revenue reached $1.8 billion, up 6%, while Starlink grew 69% to $5.2 billion with 13.6 million consumer broadband subscribers, and its AI segment, now called Super Intelligence, reached $7.6 billion, helped by an $84.5 billion compute leasing deal with Anthropic. Rocket Lab focuses purely on the space economy, relying on its Electron rocket, which can carry up to 660 pounds to low Earth orbit, and holds a backlog of nearly $2.4 billion, but its Neutron rocket has been delayed to 2027. SpaceX's $2.2 trillion market cap compares with $30 billion for Rocket Lab, and the two trade at about 70 and 40 times trailing sales. The author says SpaceX suits investors seeking broad exposure to AI and communications, while Rocket Lab is the purer aerospace option, though further Neutron delays could weigh on its shares in the near term.
- Gulf Nation Sends Good News to the World
Aramco is looking to raise the Petroline pipeline's capacity from about 7 million to 10 million barrels per day to reduce reliance on the Strait of Hormuz, which has been nearly blocked since the conflict began, and Saudi Energy Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman said the expansion would take two to three years. Before the war, the route carried about 2 million barrels per day, and Aramco's first-quarter profit rose 25% after the pipeline reached its maximum of 7 million barrels per day. The pipeline has been hit by drones several times, and Houthi forces control the Bab al-Mandab area, keeping risks high. Professor Gilbert Metcalf of MIT Sloan said that reaching 10 million barrels per day would add about 2% to global supply, so the effect on prices may be limited. Kpler data show Hormuz exports in September averaged just under 9 million barrels per day, about 44% of February levels, although US Energy Secretary Chris Wright said Gulf oil flows had recovered 80-90%.
- Gold bar and gold ring prices on 25/10 at SJC, DOJI, PNJ, Bảo Tín Minh Châu and Phú Quý
On the morning of 25/10, SJC gold bars were quoted at 138.7–141.7 million VND per lượng (buy–sell), unchanged from 24/10. DOJI quoted 139–142 million VND per lượng, 300,000 VND higher than SJC on both sides. Domestic gold fell about 2 million VND per lượng over the past week. Globally, gold slid sharply as higher oil prices, inflation worries and expectations of tighter Fed policy outweighed safe-haven demand, touching 3,975.10 USD/ounce, its lowest since early June, before trading near 4,000 USD. In a Kitco survey, 7 of 17 analysts (41%) expected prices to keep falling, while 42% of 161 individual investors expected a rise.
- Flying Cars, Smart Homes, and Cracks in the AI Boom
This Motley Fool podcast, recorded Oct. 16, 2026, debates smart homes, flying cars, AI wearables and the recent sell-off in AI infrastructure stocks. The hosts view Apple's HomeView as a refined, incremental product that reinforces existing advantages rather than redefining the category, and note Apple is entering a home-device market already crowded with players like ADT and SimpliSafe. They compare Block's new restaurant device with Toast's established share and question whether Siri can justify a possible $19-a-month charge. The discussion also touches on a flying Tesla Roadster referenced for 2028.
- UPS Stock Is Down 57% From Its Record. Is It a Buy Before Its Oct. 27 Report?
UPS shares trade near $100, about 57% below their all-time closing high of $232.11, pushing the dividend yield to roughly 6.5% on a $1.64 quarterly payout. Management expects 2026 adjusted EPS of about $7.22, down about 44% from $12.94 in 2022, after the Amazon volume cut finished in June. In the second quarter, U.S. domestic revenue rose 6% and the segment's adjusted operating margin widened to 8%, helped by cost programs expected to deliver about $3 billion in 2026. Free cash flow is projected at about $5.5 billion against roughly $5.4 billion in dividends, and the stock trades near 13 times expected 2027 earnings versus about 19 times for the S&P 500. The author sees value for income investors willing to wait for the turnaround, though the Oct. 27 report and thin dividend coverage remain risks.
- Here where credit limits decreased the most in the US ( and why that bad )
WalletHub reports that average credit limits fell in 36 of 50 states year over year, with the largest decrease nearing 13%. Causes cited include rising credit card debt, delinquency, or declines in credit score or income; inflation also pushes people to charge more, raising credit utilization and delinquency risk. A sharp rise in utilization can lower a credit score, and late payments are reported to credit bureaus. Utah topped the list for the largest dollar decrease in credit limits despite a smaller percentage drop, since its residents had among the highest limits. Minnesota ranked second, with average limits down 8% from June 2025 to June 2026; in Montana the figure was 13%.
