- Why OneSpaWorld Stock Is Up Today

- Forget Ford's Lucrative Dividend. GM Has a Different and Perhaps Better Way to Reward Investors.
General Motors (GM) has cut its shares outstanding from roughly 1.395 billion at the start of 2023 to 849 million as of Q3, a reduction of nearly 40% through buybacks, and its stock has risen almost 130% since the start of 2023. Its Q3 report revealed a new multiyear buyback authorization of $20 billion. In a simple hypothetical where earnings stay flat and $20 billion buys back shares at $80 each, the share count would fall to 599 million (a 29.4% cut) and EPS could rise 41.7%, though the article stresses this is not a forecast. GM generated $5.9 billion in adjusted automotive free cash flow in Q3 and raised its 2026 guidance to $11.5-12.5 billion from $9.5-11.5 billion. Morningstar puts GM's total yield, including buybacks and dividends, at 12.59% versus 5.7% for Ford, and the author argues this deserves more recognition than Ford's dividend.

- Why Micron Stock Keeps Going Down
Micron shares have fallen nearly 30% over the last six trading days, though they remain up more than threefold over 52 weeks, and Sandisk fell another 13% in the same session. Many investors blame China's CXMT, which is developing a new “4F square” memory chip to market as HBM and reports $1 billion in customer prepayments for its DRAM chips, a 15.7-fold increase from the end of 2025, according to DigiTimes. The article notes Micron is the world's third-largest DRAM supplier and CXMT is fourth, but CXMT lags far behind in HBM, where SK Hynix holds at least a 50% share and CXMT's next-generation HBM3E yields are only 20% to 30%.

- SPY support levels: three key floors to watch
SPY is trading at $746.84, down 2.60%, as of 10:38 AM EST on Nov 5, 2026, after an intraday low of $744.81. The article identifies three support zones: $744.80–$746.30 (immediate), $736.80–$741.50 (secondary), and $729.10–$730.22 (major, including the July 29 swing low and the daily 200-day SMA). Daily momentum is bearish, with RSI at 38.82, MACD histogram at -1.86, and a daily gauge reading of Strong Sell, but RSI is not yet below 30, so downside momentum is not deeply oversold. The weekly picture is less damaged, with weekly RSI at 49.41 and the weekly S1 at $746.27 near the current price, a possible but unconfirmed stabilization zone. A break below $744.80 would shift focus to $736.80–$741.50, and a move below $729.10 would damage the longer-term trend.
