  • Quantum Threat to Bitcoin: How Panic Could Break Crypto Before Physics Does
    November 2, 2025, 12:08 PM EST. Markets may overreact to a quantum risk even as researchers say the immediate threat to Bitcoin is a decade away. New post-quantum standards aim to harden systems before Q-Day, but governance and slow upgrades raise the odds of a panic-driven selloff before any math fails. The piece argues that fear can move markets faster than code, citing a recent flash crash and a record crypto wipeout after tariff threats. Voices like Yoon Auh warn that a single alarming headline could trigger rapid withdrawals. Technically, a large enough quantum computer could run Shor's algorithm to break ECC, but the timing remains debated.
  • Will 2026 Bring a Market Rally or Bear Trap Under President Trump? What History Says
    November 2, 2025, 12:06 PM EST. Markets rarely move in a straight line, and history by presidential year offers context but no guarantees. For the S&P 500, research cited by Charles Schwab shows average returns by year in a presidential term: First Year 6.7%, Second Year 3.3%, Third Year 13.5%, Fourth Year 7.5%. If 2026 is the second year of Trump's second term, a tougher year is possible, though not certain. Yale Hirsch's Stock Trader's Almanac has long noted more wars, downturns, and bear markets in the first half of a term, with some rebound as elections approach. Tariffs and fiscal policy have added volatility in 2025, and trade news remains a market driver. Still, timing the market is notoriously hard, and averages don't predict every outcome.

  • Is Cohu (COHU) Still Undervalued After an 18% Rally?
    November 2, 2025, 12:02 PM EST. COHU has surged about 18% in the last month, signaling renewed momentum after a choppy start to the year. Yet, over the past 12 months the stock trades with a negative total shareholder return, underscoring the volatility of cyclical end markets. With the share price hovering just below analysts' targets and a commonly cited fair value around $25.75, the question is whether the rally reflects genuine growth potential or a near-term squeeze. The bear case remains: heavy customer concentration and cyclicality could cap upside, while the bull case rests on a shift toward higher-margin, recurring software and services through DI-Core and Tignis. If investors price in a modest upside to a higher valuation multiple and stronger long-term margins, the stock could still offer short-term upside from here.
