President Trump has cancelled in-person rallies planned for Kansas and Iowa this weekend, switching to nationwide phone campaigning after four consecutive weeks of speeches to help Republicans ahead of the November 3 midterm elections. He said he did not feel he needed to go to Kansas, where Senator Roger Marshall faces Democrat Adam Hamilton, and the Republican National Committee also cancelled its Iowa event. Since October 1, Trump has taken part in 25 rallies across 19 states. In Alaska, the Justice Department sued to block certification of the result if incumbent Republican Senator Dan Sullivan loses narrowly, alleging Democrats recruited another candidate named Sullivan to split votes and help Mary Peltola win; the DSCC denies involvement. Republicans hold a 53-47 Senate majority, and Democrats need four more seats to take control.

- LARRY KUDLOW : Dont count the GOP out yet
Columnist Larry Kudlow argues Republicans are likely to keep the Senate easily, but the House is a different story. He notes that seven toss-up races in the Real Clear Politics average fall within polling error, and that Republicans need to win only four of the eight toss-up states to keep control of the chamber. He predicts GOP wins in Kansas, Iowa, Ohio, Maine and Texas, doubts Abdul El-Sayed will win in Michigan, and criticizes Medicare for All proposals he says could cost more than $50 trillion. He concludes Republicans can still do well in the midterms if Trump and the GOP stay on message for the next 19 days.

- Expert names stock groups at the "start of the wave" with breakout potential toward year-end
MBS adviser Nguyen Huy Hoang sees opportunities emerging in deeply discounted stocks with positive business fundamentals and prospects for earnings improvement from Q4/2026 to Q1/2027. Accelerated disbursement of public investment capital in the year's final months could let building materials names such as DHA, HPG, NKG and HSG benefit first, with construction contractors VCG, HHV and CTD expected to follow as project progress speeds up. Capital flows are expected to shift toward midcaps, while large-caps, particularly some Vingroup-ecosystem stocks, have mainly been supporting the index. The expert sees VN-Index consolidating within 1,700–1,750 points in the final months of the year, so investment results will depend more on sector and stock selection. Hoang favors deploying capital in tranches during volatile sessions rather than all at once.
- A "tycoon" is about to close its record date for a cash dividend of over 50%, planning to pay nearly 7,000 billion VND
VEAM (ticker VEA) has set November 13 as the last registration date for shareholders to receive its 2025 dividend in cash, at a 52.4% payout ratio, or 5,240 VND per share, with payment expected on December 14, 2026. With nearly 1.33 billion shares outstanding, the total payout is estimated at about 6,963 billion VND, of which the Ministry of Industry and Trade, holding 88.47%, is expected to receive over 6,160 billion VND. Nine-month results grew, with net revenue of nearly 3,827 billion VND (up over 20%) and profit after tax of nearly 5,892 billion VND (up about 13%). Profit from joint ventures and associates, at over 5,125 billion VND, remained the main earnings driver. The 52.4% dividend rate is also VEAM's highest in the past 4 years.
- The story behind unsold share certificates and the 26-year journey of the first two stocks on the exchange
As Vietnam's stock market neared its opening at the end of 1999, the State Securities Commission had approached 14 companies to list, but most declined. REE was the first to agree, followed by SACOM (now SAM Holdings), which was outside the original list. Earlier, REE had struggled to raise capital, finding buyers for a 20% stake in 1993 and issuing a 5 million USD international convertible bond in 1997; SACOM needed 120 billion VND for a new factory but could not sell its 51% stake. Both companies saw listing as a source of long-term capital, though preparing the listing documents proved difficult, especially for SACOM, which drafted its prospectus without outside advisers. The REE and SAM tickers traded in the first session on July 28, 2000.
- Former stock market stars: from "hold and win" to trading at a third or a fifth of their peaks
The article looks at former 'star' stocks DGC, PNJ and FPT, which have either fallen sharply or failed to regain their previous peaks. DGC rose strongly in 2020–2021 on the commodity cycle, but by mid-August had fallen more than 44% year-to-date after management-related events; it now trades at 33,300 VND per share, with market capitalization below 13,000 billion VND. PNJ dropped 82% from its peak 9 months earlier amid the diamond crisis, trades at 15,500 VND per share, and risks a record loss of nearly 6,300 billion VND in 2026 as it sets aside over 7,000 billion VND in provisions. Foreign investors have net sold heavily, pushing PNJ's foreign ownership down to about 26%. FPT has been in a prolonged correction despite business results still growing at a double-digit rate, as foreign investors have pulled back.
- ICE And OKX's Tokenized Stock Venue Hits A Wall As Nvidia, Nike Join Growing List Of Objectors
The planned venue for tokenized U.S. stocks, a 50-50 joint venture between NYSE owner ICE and crypto exchange OKX, faces growing opposition as Nvidia and Nike join companies objecting to their shares being listed. Journalist Eleanor Terrett reported the number of objecting companies has risen to 50, up from 16 in the October 19 notice, out of 62 companies initially proposed for tokenization. Other objectors include Microsoft, Alphabet, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan and Walmart. The venue plans to operate under a temporary SEC exemption issued in September that allows trading without registering as an exchange, with trading 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and each stock paired against stablecoins such as USDC and USDT. Trades would run through automated liquidity pools on OKX's X Layer blockchain, and only wallets holding a special access token issued by the venue could trade.
- Prediction: A Bear Market Is Coming, and This 1 Investing Move Will Make or Break Your Portfolio
The author argues a bear market will eventually arrive, since corrections and crashes recur, but the market and economy have always recovered to reach new highs. Citing Hartford Funds, bear markets occur on average every 3.5 years and usually last less than a year, while the stock market's long-term average annual gain is close to 10%. According to the author, money needed within about five years should sit in less volatile places such as high-yield savings accounts, CDs, money market accounts or bonds, while long-term money can stay invested to ride out downturns. Near retirement, the piece suggests moving more money out of stocks but keeping some, since a 60-year-old may live 25 more years.
