According to the U.S. Department of Labor, layoffs pushed initial unemployment claims up sharply in Ohio (3,918), Texas (1,721) and Michigan (1,195) for the week ending October 10, and state officials attributed the increases to job cuts.

- The Dow Just Jumped 1,569 Points for Its Best Post-Midterm Day in 44 Years
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 1,569.40 points, or 3.03%, to 53,356.12 on November 4, its best post-midterm day in 44 years in percentage terms, with 27 of 30 stocks closing higher. The rally was driven by relief after Trump said he accepted the election results, a drop of more than 8% in WTI crude to $88.12 a barrel, and a 20.26% fall in the VIX to 16.61. Because the Dow is price-weighted, Microsoft's 6.68% gain added about 207 points, while the S&P 500 rose 1.58% and the Nasdaq Composite 1.44%. The Dow still finished 1.83% below its August 5, 2026 record close of 54,349.12, and no major index closed at a record, though the Invesco S&P 500 Equal Weight ETF (RSP) hit a high close of $223.33. The article argues the rally rests on factors that can reverse quickly, including Trump's position, oil prices and the November 6 jobs report.
- As Democrats Take Control of Congress, Warren Buffett Has a Timely Warning for Investors
Democrats won control of both the House and the Senate in the 2026 midterm elections, while Republicans keep the White House, setting up divided government from January. On Nov. 4, the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose more than 1,500 points in morning trading, as AI hyperscalers rallied while many semiconductor and data center stocks fell. Citing a 2019 interview, the article notes Warren Buffett invested through 14 presidencies, seven Republican and seven Democratic, and said: “You do not want to have a political view in investing.” It adds that the Dow rose from 66 to 11,497 during the 20th century, a capital gain exceeding 17,000%. The article concludes that a political transition is not a compelling reason to change a long-term strategy, and investors should focus on business fundamentals, valuations and diversification.

- Meta Paid 1.4 Times What Alphabet Did to Borrow in Euros
Meta Platforms priced €9 billion in bonds on November 4, its first-ever euro sale, split across six tranches. Orders reached a record €53 billion, yet buyers priced Meta's spreads about 1.4 times wider than Alphabet's similar euro bonds priced November 2. Coupons range from 4.300% on the €1.75 billion notes due 2031 to 6.400% on the €1.5 billion issue due 2065, and the bonds settle on November 12. The article attributes the wider pricing to Alphabet's higher ratings (Aa2 and AA+ versus Meta's Aa3 and AA-), Meta's first euro borrowing, and its heavy AI spending plans, which include 2026 capital spending of $135 billion to $145 billion. Free cash flow turned to a $2.12 billion deficit.
- If You'd Invested $1,000 Alongside Warren Buffett in Coca-Cola, Here's How Much You'd Have Today
Buffett bought Coca-Cola shares in 1988 at an average of $41.81 each, added more the following year, and made his final purchase in 1994, bringing Berkshire Hathaway's total to 100 million shares. Using the article's example, $1,000 invested at his 1988 price would have bought 24 shares, which after four stock splits would be 384 shares worth nearly $37,000 today. Adding $12,581.76 in cumulative dividends brings the total return to about $49,500, or over $92,000 if dividends were reinvested into more than 960 shares. The article credits Coca-Cola's brand strength, including 32 brands with at least $1 billion in annual sales, and reports third-quarter organic revenue growth of 7%. It also calls the stock somewhat expensive at about 28 times expected forward earnings.

The article flags risks including gross margin guided near 73% versus 78% a year earlier, reliance on a few leading AI labs, and $59.6 billion of gross fixed-rate debt. The bull case is $534.37 and the bear case $361.78.
