The election held halfway through a president’s term is called a midterm election. What are voters mainly choosing this time? All 435 seats in the House of Representatives are up for election 35 seats in the Senate are up for election Some states will also elect governors The whole process is pretty simple: 📌 Now through early November: Early voting takes place in states across the country 📌 November 3: Election Day 📌 The evening of November 3: Polling stations close throughout the country, and vote counting begins 📌 Starting November 4: Results are tallied over time; it may take several days to determine the winners in some key races

Should You Keep Holding After Your Stock Falls? Focus on These Three Factors
Most retail investors start buying stocks for a very simple reason: they spot a particular theme, news story, or trend and hope to make a quick profit. Unexpectedly, after you bought in, the stock price fell instead of rising, and your account started losing money. That’s when you began to hesitate. Should you sell? You’re reluctant to accept the loss. Should you keep holding? You have no idea when the price might recover. So you start making excuses to yourself: “The company’s fundamentals are still pretty good. I’ll hold on a little longer.” “Short-term declines are normal. The stock will definitely recover eventually.” “As long as I don’t sell, it’s not really a loss.”

All over the internet! Justin Sun’s 4-hour interview: The real secret to turning things around for young people in the AI era
If you’re interested in personal growth, have you been seeing short video clips from Justin Sun’s four-hour podcast popping up in your feed these past couple of days? A blog post featuring a roughly 4.5-hour in-depth conversation between Justin Sun (founder of TRON) and Alan Shao ("How Can Young People Seize Opportunities in the AI Era?") was recently published across the internet. Justin Sun shared a lot of advice for young people today. The conversation is long and packed with valuable insights. I’ve distilled the key points he made for young people throughout the interview to explore how ordinary young people should think about opportunities and build their own foundational systems amid the AI wave.
What’s the most comfortable investing strategy for retail investors? Buy index funds at the bottom, then sell when they rebound and you’re up 20–30%. Doing this two or three times a year is enough; stay fully in cash the rest of the time. If an opportunity doesn’t come along, wait—and keep waiting. Don’t be afraid of missing out. Wait for the right opportunity, then buy the index at the bottom. I recommend that most retail investors take a closer look at how the national team trades in the A-share market. There’s actually a lot retail investors can learn from them. #STRK24小时上涨约20%
For young people who have just graduated, recently started working, or are considering starting a business. These days, we often see stories about “financial freedom,” “seizing the next big opportunity,” and “ordinary people making it big.” It’s easy to feel anxious: Has everyone else already gotten so far ahead? Is it too late for me to start now? This article may offer you some answers... Recently, at a closed-door sharing session in Hong Kong, an AMA about his new book (Binance Life), and several investment interviews, Changpeng Zhao (CZ) shared life advice for young people on entrepreneurship, skills, and investing. He didn’t offer grand theories—just straightforward, practical reflections drawn from his own experience.
Goldman Sachs’ derivatives trading team says the S&P 500 has decoupled from traditional macro indicators such as interest rates, crude oil, and credit spreads. Put simply, the index can no longer serve as a pricing benchmark for gauging overall macro risk.
The S&P 500 now looks more like an asset class in its own right, with its movements largely driven by a small group of AI-related stocks. The market is clearly splitting into “AI stocks vs. non-AI stocks.” Other sectors in the broader market, such as consumer staples, energy, and utilities, are underperforming and moving independently.
The key takeaway: although the index itself remains firmly near record highs, the rest of the market does not. As a result, the S&P 500 hedging instruments commonly used to manage risk can no longer protect against risks across the entire market. Institutional net positioning is generally low, short positions in Russell index futures are substantial, and volatility pricing is also subdued. If the S&P 500 and underlying macro fundamentals become correlated again, the market could see a sharp move, in either direction.
Does this market divergence signal an opportunity for fundamental, value-based stock picking beyond AI trend trading? Or could macro market volatility pose a major risk to non-AI stocks? #美股超话
【Token2049】The biggest highlights “The crypto industry is changing”
After attending TOKEN2049, my biggest takeaway is: the crypto industry is no longer a closed circle—it is gradually integrating with traditional finance… TOKEN2049 Singapore held on October 7 at Marina Bay Sands. The event brings together over 25,000 attendees and more than 7,000 companies, from 160-plus countries around the world. Just this scale alone means it’s worth paying attention to what’s happening on-site, even if you couldn’t make it. The organizers say this is their largest Singapore event to date. Founders, investors, institutions, and developers gather to discuss where the entire industry will go next. However, compared with the various types of official announcements commonly seen at conferences,
$ONT is truly strong! After a surge, it started to drop again with another bullish candle pushing it up. It seems this old coin also needs to learn from other high-control coins to surge and crash?
ONT also belongs to high-control coins, but it just can't push up to this level. It looks like a small position could be tried here, with a stop loss set at the new high!
Today is the day of $BTC for receiving the monthly line, and it can be seen that there have been six consecutive monthly lines of decline, but there are still no signs of a bottoming out. In April, there is a high probability of an accelerated downward spike appearing before continuing to rise strongly!
Then, completing the bottom pattern will start a journey of fluctuations, continuing to rise for a significant rebound! This is the overall mid-term trend judgment at the moment!
$BTC Let's short at 6.83w! Set the stop loss at 7.02w, and the target is to first see 6.5w and then look around 6.2w!
Although this rebound is relatively strong, it still cannot withstand the downward trend, and there will at least be another wave of ten thousand dollars drop! The rebound seems to be almost exhausted!
Let's place our short orders and wait to earn angrily!
