Cheap Trick guitarist Rick Nielsen is auctioning the raincoat that Motley Crue bassist Nikki Sixx urinated on, as part of a sale of more than 300 items run by Julien's Auction on Oct. 24 in Nashville, with part of the proceeds going to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Sixx recounts in his memoir The Dirt that the incident happened at a hotel bar after dinner with Nielsen and Queen's Roger Taylor, following vodka shots and cocaine, during a stretch tied to a 1986 show at the Hammersmith Odeon in London. Nielsen, 77, says his wife suggested trimming his collection, which he says once numbered over 2,000 instruments, to about 600; the sale includes about 70 guitars and many sweaters.

- UPS Yields 6.7% After Firing Amazon. Here's Whether the Dividend Survives 2027.
UPS shares yield 6.7% as of October 16. The company has moved away from high-volume, low-margin Amazon deliveries and froze its dividend earlier this year, ending a 16-year streak of increases. The article says the payout will likely remain frozen through 2026 and 2027, citing competition from 10- and 30-year Treasury yields above 5% and other industrial dividend payers, but calls the dividend's safety questionable: UPS generated $5.47 billion in free cash flow in 2025, with $5.4 billion going to dividends, and free cash flow is projected to fall to $5.05 billion in 2026 and $5.01 billion in 2027, with the dividend absorbing about 98% of 2026 free cash flow. Rising competition and high fuel prices add pressure, and the article suggests investors may find more safety in the industrial sector.

X-Energy (NasdaqGS:XE), American Electric Power and Amazon agreed to assess a 960 MW advanced nuclear project in Indiana using Xe-100 reactors, on a former coal plant site.
