Stablecoins Surge: CBDCs Take a Back Seat 😎

In what may be due to inspiration or sheer alacrity, once trumpeted as the sovereign messiahs for tomorrow, central bank digital currencies perch precariously in the twilight, swayed by the magnetism of tokenized deposits and HKD-backed stablecoins at the recent Hong Kong FinTech Week soirée. 🍸

Cornerstone Sells USTB Stake Amid Lingering Struggles

The filing, dated November 4, 2025, reads like a confession. A quarter’s worth of shares, discarded like yesterday’s bread, now rest in the vaults of history. The average close price, a mere shadow of hope, paints a portrait of a fund that has long since abandoned its promise. For every dollar invested, the system returned a fraction, while the fees gnawed like rats at the carcass of optimism.

Dogecoin’s Back! $1 Dream ON? Or Just Another Meme Meltdown? 🐶💥

Here’s the binary take, darling: either we’re on the “road to the bull” 🐂💨, or we’re sliding straight into the “path to the pig” at $0.06 🐷💸-which, let’s be honest, sounds like a rejected children’s book. VisionPulsed, bless his risk-assessing heart, kept it real: “I’m not going to sit here yelling $5 Doge like a maniac on energy drinks.” Thank you, sir. Finally, someone with restraint. (Though honestly, at this point, I’d settle for $1 just to impress my sister who invested in NFT monkeys.)

ODonnell Dumps $11.7M PTNQ Stake

The SEC filing reveals more than numbers. It exposes a fund manager’s reckoning with an ETF designed to “follow trends” while charging a 0.65% fee-a cost justified by promises of algorithmic wisdom. PTNQ’s strategy, as described, is mechanical simplicity: when markets scream, buy treasuries; when they roar, chase NASDAQ-100 giants; when they murmur, split the difference. A system built for those who distrust their own judgment. Yet ODonnell, steward of other people’s capital, chose to abandon 77% of its position. Was this prudence or panic? The document remains silent.

Corporate Greed Guzzling $22M in Wingstop Shares: Foolish or Foolhardy?

According to the SEC’s grim confession, dated November 10, 2025, Granite’s market vampires sold their slices of Wingstop-at a time when the stock hovered around $238.18, a 28% free-fall over the past year. Too bad they didn’t get out earlier when it was trading at $330, a peak that now looks more like a mirage-a sugar high in a desert of decline. And, oh, what a revelation: these institutional predators still eye near a 0.07% stake amidst a sea of more attractive, more stable fish-like Microsoft, Alphabet, and the rest of the usual suspects soaking up the market’s blood, or their own red ink.

Chung Wu’s Gamble on the Golden Chicken

During the third quarter of 2025, Chung Wu reached into its velvet-lined pocket and pulled out a wad of crisp digits, using them to purchase no fewer than 99,516 shares of a most peculiar concoction called the NEOS Nasdaq-100 High Income ETF, otherwise known by its ticker, QQQI. The transaction, valued at approximately $5.39 million, was not just a purchase-it was a declaration. A flag planted in fertile, yet slightly sticky, financial soil.

JAG Capital’s Exit from CyberArk: A Tale of Markets and Morals

The sale, complete and utter, left no trace of CyberArk in JAG’s portfolio. One might imagine the fund’s managers huddled in their glass-walled sanctum, their faces illuminated not by the glow of screens, but by the flickering candle of introspection. Had they glimpsed the future in the stock’s ascent-a 73.96% surge over twelve months-or had they merely been swept along by the tide of a market that elevates the clever and damns the cautious? The question lingered, as heavy as the silence between gunshots in a duel.
