Geopolitical shadows stretch long over this town. U.S. and China are trading punches like drunken boxers in a back alley. Investors, they don’t dance in the rain-they run. And when they run, they take their money with them. Risk-heavy assets? They’re the first to hit the curb.
Australian Nova Minerals (NVA) just got the nod to report on its Alaskan gold-antimony deposit before Trump’s big meet with the Aussie PM. Let that sink in: Alaska, the land of moose and midnight sun, now a battleground for antimony-a mineral so vital to semiconductors and military gear it makes you wonder if the Pentagon’s drafting its own version of “The Godfather.” The U.S. Geological Survey calls it “critical,” but in this administration, “critical” just means urgently profitable for whoever gets the call.
The iShares platform, a veritable cornucopia of over 1,400 ETFs globally, has attracted a record $205 billion in total net inflows during the third quarter. A sum so vast, it would make even the most frugal of Regency-era ladies swoon. This influx has fueled a 10% increase in organic base fee growth, a feat that would surely impress even the most discerning of accountants. 📈
This story, *The Crown*, takes place in the 16th century and offers a glimpse into the lives of Hellboy’s unusual family. Deep within Castle Azzael, a crown is being secretly made for a future king.

The story focuses on Hellboy’s brothers, Gamon and Lusk, who were first introduced in the 2012 series *Hellboy in Hell*, and shows them battling for control of Pandemonium.

The company, whose electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) vehicle has drawn considerable attention, appears to have secured favor with the winds of fortune. An executive order from the White House, urging haste in the deployment of such contraptions, has no doubt contributed to this momentum. Yet, as with any courtly favor, one must inquire whether such grace is enduring or merely the product of fleeting enthusiasm.

The SINISTER channel has many tributes to John Carpenter’s classic 1978 film, *Halloween*. But their latest video offers a fresh take on a famous scene. You probably remember when Laurie Strode first sees Michael Myers standing in the bushes. This video recreates that moment, but instead of happening during the day, it takes place at night, making it even more frightening.
Let us not dwell on the trinkets and tins, for the true jewel in Costco’s crown is its membership. Imagine, if you will, a gentleman paying a modest fee to gain access to a club where the only password is a smile and the only fine is a $60 annual charge. In fiscal 2025, this gentleman’s guild reeled in $5.3 billion, a sum so tidy it could fit in a single briefcase-though, to be fair, it might require a very large briefcase. And what of the costs? Merely the price of a few clerks and a sprig of mint for the tea trolley. One might say the membership model is the jam that keeps Costco’s teapot humming.
Northside, ever the trendsetter, reduced its Vistra stake during the third quarter. The firm’s move? A calculated exit, or just a mid-20s crisis? The SEC filing doesn’t say, but it does confirm the sale of 36,622 shares-enough to buy a decent-sized yacht, if you’re into that sort of thing.
