- Stock Market Midday, Oct. 26: Tech Sector Rallies on Anthropic IPO Filing and Cooling Oil Prices
As of 11:31 a.m. ET, the Nasdaq Composite was up 1.22% at 26,271, the S&P 500 up 0.91% at 7,693 and the Dow up 0.31% at 52,379. Tech stocks rallied after AI developer Anthropic filed for a historic IPO, with reported revenue growth of more than 1,300% year over year in Q2, while slightly lower crude oil prices helped the S&P 500 amid easing global inflation concerns. Surgery Partners soared 46% after confirming it will be acquired for approximately $5.7 billion, and Tesla rose after Barclays analyst Dan Levy upgraded the stock to 'buy' from 'hold' and raised his target price to $450 from $370.

- ‘Marking Their Calendar Until November 3rd.’ Tom Lee Says Investors Waiting To Buy The Dip After The Nasdaq 100’s Worst Month Since March 2025
Fundstrat's Tom Lee says institutional investors will wait until after the November 3 midterm elections before committing new money, and stocks could fall a lot before then. The Invesco QQQ Trust fell 6.66% in October, its worst month since March 2025, and dropped 3.47% on October 30 when Intel plunged 28.58% after weaker fourth-quarter guidance despite third-quarter results that beat estimates. The 10-year Treasury yield was 4.94% on October 30, and CME FedWatch put the odds of a December rate hike at 72% as of October 31. The equal-weight S&P 500 ETF (RSP) slipped 0.79% while SPY fell 1.77%, showing the largest stocks took the hardest hit. The article stresses that concentration in a few top holdings means one earnings report can move an entire tech-heavy fund.
- There's a $12,000 Reason to Consider Investing in QQQ Over SPY, but It Comes With a Caveat
QQQ tracks the 100 largest nonfinancial stocks on the Nasdaq, and its top five holdings (Nvidia, Apple, Microsoft, Micron and Amazon) make up 30% of the fund. Over 20 years, $1,000 invested in QQQ would be worth $20,000 (16.1% annualized total return), versus $8,000 (11% annualized) for SPY, with less volatility. Technology and communication names make up almost 48% of the S&P 500, while financials account for almost 12%, a group QQQ excludes. QQQ fell 36% from its peak when the Federal Reserve raised rates rapidly in 2021 and 2022, compared with a roughly 25% drawdown for SPY. The author views QQQ's outperformance as a risk premium and warns it could take an outsized hit if AI-related enthusiasm turns into a bubble that bursts.

- Tesla Has a Flying Car. What Does This Mean for Archer's Flying "Taxi" Business?
A video showed a Tesla Roadster briefly launching into the air with side thrusters, then flipping upright before landing. The author argues it is not a direct competitor to Archer Aviation: the Roadster is a sports car that carries only one person and is not approved for road use, while Archer's eVTOL is designed to carry four passengers and a pilot and take off and land vertically like a helicopter. Archer has completed three of the FAA's four type-certification phases and is working through the final one. The author views Tesla's demonstration as impressive but mainly a spectacle, whereas Archer's eVTOL could ease traffic in some areas. The author believes the attention on flying cars could even help Archer's air taxi service once its eVTOL is certified.
- Bitcoin Firm Strive Climbs Up the Treasury Ranks With Another Big Buy
Strive, a Dallas-based bitcoin treasury company co-founded by Vivek Ramaswamy, bought 124 BTC for about $10 million at an average of $80,526 per bitcoin between Oct. 24 and Oct. 30. Its holdings rose to 43,124 BTC, worth roughly $3.3 billion, leaving it fourth among public companies, 390 BTC behind Twenty One Capital and 876 BTC behind Metaplanet. Most of the purchase was funded from existing cash, and Strive raised money for the first time by selling its SATS preferred stock. Strategy, led by Michael Saylor, holds 849,327 BTC, nearly 20 times Strive's total. With bitcoin at about $77,000, the holdings are now worth slightly less than what Strive paid.

- $1,000 in Bitcoin at the 2017 Peak: What Is It Worth Now?
Buying Bitcoin at its December 15, 2017 peak closing price of $19,665 meant the $1,000 investment fell 84% to $164 in the 2018 bear market, and only regained its value on December 16, 2020. At Bitcoin's November 1, 2026 close of $78,311, the stake was worth about $3,982, a 298.2% gain, still above the about $2,835 (183.5%, excluding dividends) that a $1,000 investment in the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (NYSEARCA:SPY) on December 18, 2017 would have reached. Bitcoin was trading at $77,324, 38.7% below its all-time high of $126,080. U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs hold $98.1 billion in net assets, but recorded a $643 million outflow on October 30. A drop to the 200-day average of $73,154 would cut the stake to about $3,720.
- Stock Market Today, Nov. 2: Amazon Rallies on Phillip Securities Buy Upgrade and $330 Target
Amazon (AMZN) closed at $245.63, up 2.20%, after Phillip Securities upgraded the stock to “buy” and raised its price target by $10 to $330. Analyst Helena Wang raised her rating and fiscal 2027 revenue estimates, citing strong cloud demand: AWS sales jumped 39% year over year to $46 billion, the fastest growth in nearly five years, and operating income rose 61%. Trading volume reached 57.7 million shares, about 51% above the three-month average of 38.3 million. The stock had slid after last week's earnings report, where heavy AI-related capital spending and cash outflows triggered an initial negative reaction. Broader markets declined, with the S&P 500 down 0.50% to 7,542 and the Nasdaq Composite down 1.07% to 25,164.
- Wesdome Expands High-Grade Zones at Eagle River, Highlighting Growth Potential near Existing Infrastructure
Wesdome Gold Mines (TSX: WDO) reported drilling results from its Eagle River mine near Wawa, Ontario. A hole in the western extension of the 800 Zone intersected 8.3 g/t gold over 10.6 metres, while mineralization was found more than 200 metres below the current zone model. A 500 Zone hole returned 96.2 g/t gold over 2.2 metres (uncapped), and the 700 Zone showed 20.2 g/t gold over 5.7 metres, outlining an interpreted 200 x 100 metre growth area near existing infrastructure. The 2026 near-mine program comprised 21 underground drill holes and one deep surface hole, totalling about 8,000 metres, with four underground exploration drills continuing through 2027. The company said shallower zones near infrastructure could reduce access development and transport distances, offering more options for where and when to mine.
