• 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.

• STLLR Gold Secures Mineral Recovery Permit for 225,000-Tonne Hollinger Tailings Sample, Advancing Potential Near-Term Gold Recovery Opportunity

  STLLR Gold (TSX: STLR) has received a Mineral Recovery Permit under Ontario's Recovery of Minerals regime, allowing excavation and reprocessing of up to 225,000 tonnes of legacy tailings at its Hollinger project in Timmins. The company says this is a key step toward a large-scale sample program to test gold recovery, operating performance, costs and the potential for Hollinger to generate cash flow. Material would be processed offsite, and STLLR is evaluating practical solutions that could use regional infrastructure. CEO Keyvan Salehi said the permit moves Hollinger from resource evaluation toward demonstrating gold recovery at a meaningful scale. Wabun Tribal Council, Minister of Energy and Mines Stephen Lecce, MPP George Pirie and the City of Timmins also commented on the project.

• Canton's CC rises 4% as SEC staff view it as 'digital commodity'

  Canton Network's native token CC rose 4% on Wednesday after the SEC's Division of Corporation Finance issued a no-action letter viewing it as a 'digital commodity'. The letter accepted that CC's value comes from how the network operates and from demand for the token, not from a central team's efforts to generate profits for holders. Developer Digital Asset said participants earn CC by running infrastructure and applications, with the protocol determining how many tokens they can mint. The division said it would not take enforcement action over CC issuance without securities registration if tokens are created under the described conditions. The letter reflects staff's position and is not a binding ruling on CC's legal status, and CC traded at $0.098 at 10:27 am UTC, still down roughly 4.2% over the past week according to CoinMarketCap.

• A bank issues urgent notice asking customers to review mortgaged homes and land that fall under clearance zones

  Xuân Bách said he received a message from Woori Bank on the evening of November 3 asking customers to review their mortgaged properties. Customers whose assets have been notified for clearance, already cleared, or included in a clearance plan must respond by November 4, 2026, otherwise the bank will assume the collateral is not affected. The article notes that many Hanoi residents fear their mortgaged homes or land fall within planning areas for infrastructure or urban upgrades, and some apartment owners linked to Mường Thanh projects face similar risks while loans remain unpaid. Nguyễn Quốc Hùng, then deputy chairman of the Vietnam Banking Association, said in May 2026 that there is no specific mechanism for cases where compensation is insufficient to repay loans, such as a 5 billion dong loan with 3 billion dong in compensation. Deferring or rescheduling debt is one option under consideration, but it requires a legal basis and guidance from the State Bank of Vietnam.

• AMD's Free Cash Flow Just Fell to 4% of Revenue

  AMD reported record revenue in the third quarter of 2026, but free cash flow fell to $554 million, down from $1,558 million in the second quarter and $1,530 million a year earlier, a margin of about 4% of revenue. The drop came mainly from working capital, as inventories used $2,995 million of cash and receivables used $1,928 million. Inventory rose to $11,463 million, and CFO Jean Hu said the company keeps investing in inventory and capacity to meet strong data center demand. Total debt rose to $7,079 million from $3,226 million, including a $4.75 billion senior notes offering. The author argues the cash drop is likely temporary, but notes risks, as AMD gave no free cash flow target or timeline for a recovery.
