- The Best Blue Chip Stock to Buy in November and Hold for 10 Years
Costco's stock has risen more than 600% over the past ten years, and with reinvested dividends its total return reached 728%, versus 326% for the S&P 500. The author argues Costco remains a blue-chip stock worth holding for another ten years, citing cardholders up 3.6% to 150.4 million at the end of fiscal 2026, a worldwide renewal rate up 10 basis points to 89.8% in Q4, and warehouses rising to 939 from 914. Comparable store sales rose 8.4%, its 17th consecutive year of positive comps growth. Analysts expect revenue and EPS to grow at 8% and 10% CAGRs from fiscal 2026 to 2029. Although the stock trades at 46 times this year's earnings, the author says its scale, customer stickiness and inflation resistance justify that valuation.

- Is Google's New Cryptocurrency Service a Reason to Buy Ethereum or Solana?
Alphabet announced on October 28 its Google Multi-Party Compute (MPC) crypto security platform, with commercial launch scheduled for early 2027, and already uses it to secure its own digital assets on Ethereum and Solana. The platform splits a wallet's private key into fragments held on separate systems and checks each transaction against an institution's rules, supporting ECDSA and Ed25519 signing. The author argues the benefit to Ethereum and Solana is minor, since safer custody does not itself create demand, and notes Ethereum ETFs saw $635 million in net outflows and Solana ETFs $24.8 million in the first seven trading days of October 2026. The article says the signals to watch in the first half of 2027 are ETF flows and bank announcements naming Google's service.

- Why Bill Ackman Says He Feels Like “Markets Are Broken” Casinos
On November 3, 2026, Bill Ackman told television that he feels markets are “broken” and resemble casino-type markets with 95% leverage, a figure he presented as his own claim, while arguing the disorder is good for his firm over the long term. He criticized leveraged short-term funds and perpetual futures on individual stocks, which he said contribute to large price moves. Pershing Square's third-quarter letter, dated November 2, blamed volatility on a reduced float from indexation. Ackman is most bullish on Visa, Mastercard and Netflix, and Netflix closed at $63.42, near its $61.39 low. PS's third-quarter revenue of $56.604 million missed the $75.474 million estimate, with no performance fees.
