- Tesla Stock Lags Apple Because Of ‘Communications Problem,’ Says Investor Gary Black
Investor Gary Black, managing partner of The Future Fund LLC, argued that Tesla (TSLA) has a “communications problem” that undermines its credibility despite strong products, while Apple (AAPL) does not. He noted that over the past year Apple gained 33% while Tesla fell 17%, and over five years Apple rose 133% versus 9% for Tesla. Black called on Tesla to disclose how many customers keep their FSD subscriptions three to six months after free trials end, rather than only right after. He called the reported over 75% paid FSD sign-up rate on North American third-quarter deliveries “clearly inflated,” while RBC Capital analyst Tom Narayan has estimated 30-40% on a paid basis. Tesla said it has over 1.7 million paid FSD customers globally.
- This level-headed Tesla bull still expects 5 million Cybercabs by 2040
Tesla surprisingly cut about $5 billion from its capital expenditure plans, yet investors remain confident in the long-term potential of a large Cybercab network. Morgan Stanley analyst Andrew Percoco, who rates the stock Equal Weight, still models a fleet of 5 million Cybercabs by the end of 2040 under reasonable assumptions, with sharp growth over the next three years. Musk said the Austin, Texas Cybercab fleet has grown tenfold since launching roughly a month ago, with more than 300 vehicles operating and nearly 2 million cumulative unsupervised miles as of the end of the third quarter. Operating hours in Austin now run from 6 a.m. to midnight, and Tesla plans to expand to Dallas in November. Management acknowledged that software is a constraint on scaling today, though regulatory approvals could become the main bottleneck over time.
- Tesla Wants Cybercabs in Customers' Hands by the End of 2026
Lars Moravy said on the third-quarter earnings call that Tesla is trying to get Cybercabs to customers by the end of 2026, but Cybercabs built in Texas currently go to Tesla's internal Robotaxi fleet, and no delivery date, volume, price or ordering process has been given. Elon Musk said the Cybercab will mainly be offered as transport-as-a-service and largely owned by Tesla, so outside buyers are likely fleet and business customers, though an interest form posted September 3, 2026 only asked businesses about fleet purchasing. Production is paced by robotaxi demand and regulatory approvals, with installed capacity above 125,000 units and Dallas robotaxi service planned for November. Shares closed up 3.41% at $386.47 but fell 3.32% to $373.65 after hours, and the stock trades at 402 times earnings. Active FSD subscriptions reached 1.74 million, up 67% from a year earlier.
- Tesla Cybercabs Could Reach Customers by End of 2026, but Elon Musk Says Vast Majority Will Be TSLA-Owned
On Wednesday's Q3 earnings call, Elon Musk said the vast majority of Cybercabs will be owned by Tesla and operated as a transport-as-a-service, rather than sold to consumers. VP of Vehicle Engineering Lars Moravy said Tesla is trying to get Cybercabs to customers by the end of 2026, while AI lead Ashok Elluswamy suspected the first customer vehicles could join the Robotaxi fleet around Q2 next year. Current Cybercab units built in Texas are all going into Tesla's internal fleet. Tesla reported revenue of $28.05 billion, above the $27.88 billion consensus, and EPS of 48 cents against 43 cents expected, although automotive revenue fell 3% year-on-year to $20.56 billion. The company also reported 1.74 million active FSD subscriptions, up 67% year-on-year.

- Canada opens consultation on draft stablecoin rules, maintains ban on yields
Canada's government opened a 60-day consultation on draft stablecoin rules, ending December 23, that keep the ban on yield payments while allowing transaction-based rewards. Under the draft, non-bank issuers would hold reserves equal to circulating tokens at qualified Canadian financial institutions and redeem within three business days, with fees capped at 1%. The Canadian Bankers Association supports the yield ban, while some Canadian exchanges, including Coinbase Canada, already pay rewards after receiving Ontario Securities Commission permission. The rules are expected to take effect toward the end of 2027 as banks develop tokenized deposits and Canadian-dollar stablecoins.
- Anthropic's IPO filing sheds new light on who stands to make money from public debut
Anthropic's IPO filing outlines financing from its biggest backers ahead of a possible November listing that could rival SpaceX's as the largest IPO in history. Alphabet's agreement could provide up to $20 billion, reduced by up to $10 billion if Google buys nonvoting stock alongside the offering, and carries a 14.99% ownership cap that it can waive; no funds had been drawn as of June 30. Amazon holds about $6.2 billion in convertible notes that could convert into roughly 1.84 billion nonvoting shares under a 12% cap, and it has agreed to provide up to $15 billion more tied to computing milestones. Both companies also benefit from business ties beyond equity: Anthropic generated $16.3 billion in revenue in the first half of 2026, more than all of last year, but spent nearly $9 billion on computing and infrastructure and has committed roughly $450 billion to cloud computing. A PitchBook analyst said Amazon could 'win twice' through compute sales and investment.
- Should You Buy Dogecoin While It's Below $1?
The article argues Dogecoin, down 32% in 2026 as of writing, struggles to shed its meme-coin image even after the Dogecoin Foundation created Dogecoin Labs on October 21 to combine DogeOS, MyDoge and Such App. The author notes that Dogechain, launched in 2025, drew negligible total value locked and shut down earlier this year, and that DOGE payments at businesses owned by Elon Musk have not reached scale. New spot Dogecoin ETFs have seen little investor inflow, suggesting limited institutional support, so price action depends mainly on retail investors. The author considers a move to $1 highly improbable, with the coin trading at a 90% discount to its all-time high.
- How 'the Anthropic story' resembles Amazon's AWS bet
Bing Gordon, an EA founding executive, discussed Anthropic's upcoming IPO (ANTH.PVT) with Yahoo Finance's Brian Sozzi. He compared it to Jeff Bezos's push to keep approving heavy AWS capex while Amazon had no free cash flow early on, including one year of $75 billion that unsettled the board. Gordon said markets are usually poor at judging returns three or four years out, and he framed Anthropic's spending as a similar bet that investment will pay off in that window. He added that Amazon was once seen as a cash-losing business, and that moving from investment to profit is an act of faith in execution.
- Wall Street’s Smart Money Just Suffered a Shock Not Seen Since the COVID Crash
On October 22, all three hedge fund strategies tracked by Goldman Sachs lost more than 1%, the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic that fundamental long-short, systematic and multi-strategy funds posted simultaneous losses above that level, according to a Reuters report citing Goldman's prime brokerage data. The selloff hit crowded AI and technology positions: Meta fell 7% after announcing plans to issue a new share class to raise capital, Nvidia dropped 4%, and the Nasdaq Composite declined 2.6%, its worst session since June 5. Some funds cut leverage and sold holdings to limit losses, which can add pressure on prices, while global fundamental long-short funds remained up 8.8% year to date. The article frames this as a warning about concentration in one investment theme rather than a prediction of a market crash, and suggests investors check how much of their portfolio depends on the same few technology companies.
- CoreWeave, AI landlord stocks sink to lowest levels in more than a year as the price of insuring CoreWeave's debt doubles
Neoclouds, which borrow heavily to buy Nvidia chips and rent out AI computing power, are being sold off: a Yahoo Finance basket of eight has fallen more than 40% since late July, while Microsoft has gained nearly as much. CoreWeave (CRWV) closed at its lowest since May 2025, and Bloomberg data shows the cost of insuring its debt against default has more than doubled since early June. By Yahoo Finance calculations, current prices imply better-than-even odds of a CoreWeave default within five years, double the odds of a year ago, though the article stresses this reflects fear rather than a forecast. Nebius (NBIS) is the exception thanks to lower debt, while Elon Musk said on X that lenders have almost entirely shut off access to money for companies relying on AI data centers, and SpaceX just borrowed $40 billion for AI chips. A BofA Global Research survey found convertible bond fund managers ranking an AI bubble as their top near-term worry, and they are crowding into the safest borrowers.
