Is Mayville Engineering Using Too Much Debt? A Look at MEC's Leverage, EBITDA, and Interest Coverage
October 22, 2025, 9:50 AM EDT. Li Lu's caution about permanent capital loss frames this look at MEC's debt.

3 Slam-Dunk Growth Stocks to Buy Right Now With $100
October 22, 2025, 8:44 AM EDT. Amid a long-running bull market, this piece highlights three growth stocks to buy with just $100. It notes the S&P 500's strong run (about 91.5% in the first three years of the current bull) and that new money can still find upside. Two names are DraftKings and Fortinet, both trading under $100 per share. DraftKings leverages its fantasy sports brand into a leading U.S. online sportsbook with data-driven betting advances and a path to sustained revenue and EBITDA growth, supported by an expected online sports-betting CAGR around 12.8% from 2025-2030.

Asian Exchanges Clamp Down on Bitcoin Treasury Plans Amid Regulatory Fragmentation
October 22, 2025, 8:38 AM EDT. Asian exchanges are tightening rules on Bitcoin treasury strategies as HKEX and India's BSE reject recent applications, with none receiving regulatory approval in months. Regulators warn that digital-asset treasuries could become volatile, harming retail investors, and experts note the fragmentation across markets-each pursuing distinct objectives. HKEX has blocked five firms; India's BSE denied Jetking Infotrain's listing after plans to allocate 60% of raised funds to Bitcoin. Australia's ASX bars large cash-like holdings, effectively ruling out DAT pivots. Industry voices warn governance and investor-protection concerns dominate jurisdictions-Singapore emphasizes payments, Hong Kong focuses on governance and crypto-enabled offerings, India on crypto rebrands, and Australia on market conduct. The crackdown follows estimated $17 billion losses in digital-asset trades, tempering enthusiasm for the Bitcoin treasury model despite global uptake.
What I Wish I Knew Before Buying My First Stock – How ETFs Make Investing Easier
October 22, 2025, 8:36 AM EDT. Growing up without mentors, the author learns investing can be simple. The piece argues you don't need endless stock research; ETFs offer instant diversification with far less effort.

For beginners, a VanguardS&P ETF (VOO) provides broad exposure to roughly 500 large U.S. companies. While ETFs aren't risk-free and markets stay volatile, one fund can replace dozens of stocks. The example notes that even broad funds can concentrate in sectors, such as tech, underscoring that diversification still matters.

Could Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac IPO by Year-End? Privatization Push Gains Steam

The FHFA is expected to coordinate the offering, with the Treasury– which holds warrants for roughly 80% of the stock- participating in design. If pursued, it could be one of the largest stock offerings in history.

Money-losing firms pivot to crypto as DAT boom reshapes markets
October 22, 2025, 7:40 AM EDT. Billions have flowed into publicly traded firms reinventing themselves around cryptocurrency, spawning a wave of digital asset treasury (DAT) companies.
