- We Don't Fear Market Corrections. Nor Should You.
A Motley Fool article uses Spotify (SPOT) as an example: a Rule Breakers recommendation in early 2022 at about $209 a share fell to about $69 by the end of that year, a drop of roughly two-thirds. The authors argue that down markets are normal and that investors should prepare for them rather than try to predict downturns, using rules such as holding stocks for at least three years, capping an initial position at 5%, and reviewing holdings quarterly. They also stress defining each portfolio's purpose and timeline, saying money in the market should be money you can leave invested for at least five years. As of the latest close cited, Spotify was up about 156% since the recommendation, roughly 71 percentage points ahead of the S&P 500.
- Are Discounted Stocks Really a Bargain?
About 75% of VN-Index constituents (301 of 401 stocks) have fallen since the start of the year, even though median profit growth reached 18.2% in Q1 and 20.9% in Q2. Dragon Capital puts the index's trailing P/E at 13.5 times at end-September, or 11.4 times excluding five heavyweights (VIC, VHM, VPL, STB and LPB), while TVS reports 12.1 times versus a five-year average of about 13.8 times. Both firms caution that low valuations do not guarantee a recovery, citing persistent foreign net selling and weak liquidity. The article recommends checking whether profits are backed by operating cash flow, whether debt and refinancing needs pose risks, and whether the valuation reflects the outlook, since a low P/E alone does not signal an opportunity.
- The Stock Market Looks Vulnerable . Should Investors Sell Their Stocks Now ?
Investors are worried after hotter-than-expected inflation data revived concerns about further Federal Reserve rate hikes, while the IMF warned that an AI-related market correction or a sharp rise in government bond yields could trigger broader financial turmoil. With the S&P 500 near its all-time high, the article argues against selling just because a crash is possible; instead, investors should assess whether each holding can withstand a downturn and whether its valuation leaves room for disappointment. The three risks highlighted are persistent inflation, a test for AI investment returns, and high valuations. The suggested steps are to reassess holdings, diversify across more companies and industries, and keep enough cash to avoid being forced to sell long-term investments at unfavorable prices.
- Sleepless in September | Fort Saskatchewan Record
Columnist Elton Davidge, a Certified Financial Planner with IG Wealth Management, compares the stress of September hockey tryouts with investors' anxiety during market downturns. He argues people respond to uncertainty in similar ways, and that high volatility is temporary while financial plans are built to compound over decades. Davidge advises focusing on what can be controlled, such as process, attitude and execution, rather than reacting to short-term noise. He also references the so-called 'September Effect' of seasonal market weakness.

- Musk's wants to merge SpaceX and Tesla: Here's what to know
Musk said SpaceX and Tesla have formed special committees to study a merger, which would be worth about $3.5 trillion combined and would be the largest corporate deal in history. SpaceX, valued at about $2 trillion after a record listing this year, absorbed Musk's AI startup xAI in February, while Tesla is valued at about $1.5 trillion. Musk holds about 82 percent of SpaceX's voting power but only about 20 percent at Tesla. Dan Ives puts the odds of a deal at 90 percent by early 2027, though Musk called the requirement of a majority of all Tesla shares 'quite a high hurdle'. Loyal retail investors hold an estimated 25 to 27 percent of Tesla shares, and legal obstacles appear slight because both companies moved their incorporation to Texas from Delaware.
- CoreWeave and Nebius Stocks Are Crashing. Time to Buy the Dip?
Shares of Nebius and CoreWeave each fell 25% in the week of October 12 to 16. The sell-off stems from the yield on CoreWeave's debt in the secondary market surging to 15%, versus roughly 5% on Treasuries, which pushes the debt into 'distressed' territory and signals doubts about its ability to meet obligations. Nebius sold off in sympathy as a fellow neocloud company. The bigger concern is that both companies must keep issuing debt to fund data centers, and if yields are high at issuance, the assumption of nearly unlimited cheap capital could be challenged. The author says it is unclear whether now is the time to buy.
- Disney’s multiplatform Super Bowl plan frustrates ABC affiliates
ABC station owners are irritated that Disney is airing the Super Bowl across several platforms, including Disney+, ESPN2, NFL Network and ESPNU, even though the game is already on ABC and ESPN. A station group CEO estimates that the combined platforms could cut broadcast ad revenue by up to 35% compared with last year. Local affiliates typically earn about 3% of annual ad revenue from the Super Bowl and pay network owners reverse retransmission fees, but Disney+ lacks geofenced ad insertion, so affiliates cannot sell ads to streaming viewers. Disney says national commercials will be identical on all platforms and that streaming major live events is standard industry practice. Super Bowl LX drew 125.6 million viewers in February.
- Meta’s deal to keep Zuckerberg in California adds fuel to wealth tax debate ahead of election
Meta says Mark Zuckerberg will remain in California for eight years and has created a new stock plan that could help cover his taxes if Proposition 40, a 5% tax on Californians worth over $1 billion, passes on Election Day on Nov. 3. According to a filing released with its third-quarter earnings, Meta will issue non-voting Class C shares starting in January, and Zuckerberg can sell or transfer up to 20% of the shares granted to him without affecting his majority voting control. The filing says Zuckerberg’s leadership is crucial to the company’s growth and its AI ambitions, including Meta Superintelligence Labs. Most of the tech industry opposes the measure, while a recent Citrin-Politico poll found 46% in favor and 43% against, suggesting it may fall short of the majority support it needs.
- Nasdaq sell-off: A momentum unwind 'for the record books'
Matt Stucky, chief portfolio manager for equities at Northwestern Mutual Wealth Management, calls Thursday’s sell-off in the Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) a momentum unwind “for the record books.” He says the market spent the first half of 2026 driven by a beta and momentum trade led by semiconductors, but in the third quarter, as rates rose, money shifted into quality stocks. He does not think the sell-off is justified by fundamentals, arguing that institutional portfolio managers swapping out of factor positions can drag down whole baskets of stocks. In semiconductors, spot rental rates for Nvidia Blackwell chips are higher than a month ago, showing tightening compute supply, even as financing costs rise and investors worry about neocloud business models and the rising cost of insuring their bonds.
- Dune launches real-time data feeds covering 200 onchain trading venues
Blockchain analytics platform Dune has launched real-time market data feeds covering more than 200 onchain trading venues, aiming to bring this data into the systems of traditional financial institutions. The feeds draw trade data from 12 blockchains, including Ethereum, Solana and Base, about one second after execution, covering both spot trading on decentralized exchanges and perpetual futures on Hyperliquid and Lighter. Early clients include quant funds, market makers, asset managers and bank trading desks, which use the data to assess liquidity and compare prices, though Dune did not name them. Meanwhile, the tokenized stock market has grown sharply, with distributed value reaching $3.58 billion, but 16 companies, including Microsoft, Alphabet and Goldman Sachs, have objected to their shares being traded on OKXICE’s proposed platform, and liquidity remains fragmented.
