Davenport & Co LLC, in a performance worthy of a stockbroker’s cabaret, reduced its position in Kinsale Capital Group by 15,100 shares. The SEC filing, dated October 15, 2025, noted this maneuver with the urgency of a tax auditor’s coffee break. The average closing price for the quarter-used to calculate the $6.84 million windfall-was selected with the precision of a jeweler weighing diamonds. Davenport now holds 519,906 shares, a number that glimmers faintly in the shadow of their former holdings.

Before the opening bell rang, Insteel announced results for its fourth quarter, which ended on September 27. Sales and earnings fell short of what Wall Street had predicted, which is never a good sign. It wasn’t just the numbers that underwhelmed-the company’s forward guidance also left a lot to be desired. After this rough day, Insteel’s 2025 stock gain is now limping along at about 12%. It’s a sad little march, but a march nonetheless. So it goes.

Once a limb of the mighty Johnson & Johnson-now severed like a gangrenous toe-the company finds itself haunted by the ghost of powders past. In the U.K., three thousand souls have banded together, their grievances woven into a tapestry of carcinogenic dread. They allege that the talc once dusting infants’ bottoms has, through some alchemical perversity, transmuted itself into a harbinger of cellular betrayal.

After a recent rally that made investors think they’d discovered the Holy Grail of dividends, the stock did a backflip and landed in the dumpster. Why? Because Bitfarms revealed plans to raise $300 million via convertible senior notes. Now, I love a good financial jargon as much as the next guy, but let’s translate that into plain English: they’re printing money to print more money. And somehow, the market thinks this is a *bad* idea. Go figure.

The third kingdom of RTX, known to mortals as Pratt & Whitney, announced this dusk that its GTF Advantage engine had secured passage through the labyrinth of the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). This follows an earlier anointment by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), twin sentinel of the Atlantic. Together, these certifications form a hall of mirrors, reflecting the engine’s destined debut in the mortal realm of commercial aviation by 2025. The GTF Advantage, a leviathan of thrust and thrift, claims dominion over fuel efficiency metrics-a siren song to airlines adrift in the calculus of cost.
