- October ETF Asset Report
The Nasdaq Composite fell 5.2% in October, its worst month since March 2025, while the S&P 500 dropped 1.2% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 1.5%. Tech and AI stocks led the sell-off amid concerns over Big Tech's massive AI infrastructure spending, uncertain returns, elevated valuations and rising borrowing costs, along with disappointing results and outlooks from Amazon, Alphabet and Intel. The largest inflows went to DFAC ($49.3 billion), VOO ($29.4 billion) and SPYM ($9.3 billion) as of Oct. 30, 2026. MUB added about $7.0 billion and SOXL drew about $6.9 billion despite losing around 48% over the month, and the article suggests investors may have bought the dip betting on a rebound. Small-cap fund IWM saw about $2.3 billion in outflows as rising rate and inflation concerns weighed on sentiment.
- Dip Buyers in Leveraged Tech ETFs Are Getting Crushed
Billions flowed into leveraged semiconductor and tech ETFs as prices fell in October, but daily-reset funds make waiting for a rebound more costly the longer it takes. The Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bull 3X ETF (SOXL) drew $7.27 billion of net new money in October, about 29.91% of its $24.31 billion in assets, yet fell 47.89% over the month, while the ProShares UltraPro QQQ (TQQQ) drew $3.49 billion and fell 20.53%. Net flows do not show who bought, at what price, or whether they still hold. From October 6 to November 2, SOXL lost 58.50% versus 23.04% for the unleveraged iShares Semiconductor ETF (SOXX), reflecting the compounding effect of daily resets. To recover to its October 29 close, SOXL needs about 50.2% while SOXX needs about 13.3%.
- ETF Activity: QQQ Leads $2.24 Billion Exit on Oct. 29
ETFs saw an estimated net outflow of $1.90 billion across 339 funds on Thursday, Oct. 29, as 17,500 positions decreased against 40,617 increases. QQQ led the retreat at an estimated -$2.24 billion, followed by SPY at -$1.97 billion and TECL at -$950.0 million. Inflows concentrated in financials and value, with XLF adding $885.1 million and AVLV $614.0 million, while XLV and XLE also gained. Among stocks, ExxonMobil drew $889.9 million in value change across 46 buying ETFs, even as NVIDIA and Apple were trimmed.
- QQQ Pulled In $1.66 Billion. The Same Index Trades Under a Cheaper Ticker.
Invesco's QQQ took in $1.66 billion in an ETF flow count dated October 14, 2026, while its sister fund QQQM drew $380.7 million. Both funds track the Nasdaq-100 with the same holdings and weights, so the main difference for investors is the expense ratio, which is higher for QQQ. That gap compounds over long holding periods, though Invesco cut QQQ's fee after holders approved converting the fund to an open-end ETF in December 2025. According to the article, QQQ still attracts large inflows for its deep liquidity, tight bid-ask spreads and active options market, which can outweigh the fee for traders or hedgers. For long-term holders, the fee gap is largely the only difference, and selling QQQ in a taxable account could trigger capital gains tax.
- Traders rushing into a leveraged ETF to make a bullish bet on the Nasdaq-100 just got burned
Some investors appeared to be too eager to buy the dip in tech stocks last month. Their bullish bet on the Nasdaq-100 through a leveraged ETF has left them with losses.
- AI Stocks Slide: Are Tech ETFs Worth Watching?
October saw a sharp selloff in technology and semiconductor stocks as concerns over AI spending, weakening free cash flow and elevated interest rates wiped out more than 2 trillion USD in Nasdaq-100 market value. The article argues this does not necessarily signal the end of the bull market or the AI investment cycle, but reflects investors demanding proof that infrastructure spending will translate into sustainable revenue and free cash flow. Alphabet plunged more than 12% in one session after quarterly capex reached about 51 billion USD, while Amazon's trailing 12-month free cash flow was a negative 42.4 billion USD, even as Google Cloud revenue more than doubled to 30.7 billion USD. The S&P 500 has finished higher 12 months after every U.S. midterm election since 1950 across 19 observations, though the small sample means this is not a guarantee. The article also highlights Invesco QQQ, which tracks the Nasdaq-100 with a portfolio heavily tilted toward technology and growth companies.

- State Securities Commission asks securities firms to review and strengthen cybersecurity
On 30/10/2026, the State Securities Commission (UBCKNN) sent a document to securities firms and fund management companies asking them to urgently review cybersecurity after cyberattacks affected the financial, banking and some securities systems. Firms must change all administrator and user passwords, check system logs for signs of data tampering or remote access from unfamiliar or foreign IP addresses, and review antivirus status and access histories, especially for IT and privileged accounts. The regulator also asks them to review remote-access policies and interbank transfer policies outside trading hours. When large, frequent or unusual transfers from corporate or customer accounts are detected, firms should suspend the transactions and contact the account holders to verify them.
- This AI Boom is not 1999 all over again — and here's why
Yahoo Finance Executive Editor Brian Sozzi argues that the current AI boom is fundamentally different from the dot-com bubble. He says companies driving AI, such as Nvidia and Salesforce, have plenty of cash, real businesses and strong leadership, unlike firms such as pets.com or eToys. He cites former Cisco CEO John Tabers, who said some AI companies are borrowing heavily and growing at a very fast pace, with some likely to recover and others not coming back. Sozzi acknowledges that some air has come out of the AI trade, but maintains that the fundamentals this time differ from the dot-com boom and bust.
- Why Shares of Alphabet Stock Sank 17.5% Last Month
Alphabet shares (GOOG) fell 17.5% last month, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence, despite strong third-quarter results with revenue up 25% year over year to $127.6 billion. Google Cloud revenue rose 103% and Google Search revenue rose 12%, but investors worried about negative free cash flow after $51 billion in capital expenditures for AI infrastructure and possible share losses to AI rivals such as ChatGPT and Claude. Search remains the largest revenue source at $63 billion last quarter, and the Gemini app has reached 1 billion users, though how much revenue they generate is unclear. The article argues that at 21 times enterprise value-to-EBIT, the stock looks cheap for a company growing revenue at 25%, provided it keeps Search revenue and grows Google Cloud.
- Gold prices rise, but people still buy to accumulate
Domestic gold prices rose from the previous session, with SJC and PNJ gold bars quoted at 137.6 - 140.6 million VND per tael (buy - sell), up 600,000 VND per tael on both sides. Despite higher prices, many people are still buying to accumulate, often in batches and in amounts that suit their finances rather than following the crowd. On Cầu Giấy street some shops still attract customers, while on Trần Nhân Tông street visitors are fewer and long queues have disappeared. Meanwhile, Ms. Đinh Thị Lan brought 3 taels of gold rings to sell because her family needs cash, though she worries prices could keep rising after she sells.
- Prediction: $5,000 Invested in Netflix Will Be Worth This Much by 2030
Netflix shares have fallen to 52-week lows, back to 2024 levels, after the company failed to acquire the former Warner Bros. Discovery and struggled to develop content that interests viewers. A $5,000 investment made four years ago would be worth about $10,560 today, though it exceeded $22,500 in mid-2025 as Netflix's competitive advantages eroded. Analysts expect revenue growth of 13% this year and 11% in 2027, while the current 18 P/E is near a five-year low, compared with a five-year peak of 63 and an S&P 500 average of 26.5. The author estimates Netflix could trade around $139 per share in 2030, which would make the roughly 80 shares that $5,000 buys today worth about $11,100; these are assumption-based estimates, not certainties.
