October 19, 2025, 6:28 AM EDT. Nvidia has led the AI arms race and remains well positioned for the next three years. The stock run has turned Nvidia into the world's largest company by market cap, raising questions about how much further growth is possible. The company's GPUs power the current generation of generative AI models, and AI hyperscalers have committed to large data-center capital expenditures through 2026, signaling continued demand. Still, competition is rising: AMD has won a major deal with OpenAI, and Broadcom is fielding custom AI accelerators that can rival Nvidia on cost, though with less flexibility. The article outlines two likely paths for Nvidia, with one more probable, guiding investors on what to do with NVDA today.

October 19, 2025, 6:08 AM EDT. This commentary warns that the U.S. risks losing space leadership without a coherent strategy. It argues China-backed by Russia-has a clear plan: reusable rockets, orbital logistics, Lunar infrastructure, a Lunar nuclear power plant for the ILRS, and in-space capabilities such as refueling. SpaceX's dominant launch cadence both fuels U.S. advantage and heightens exposure to competition. The piece outlines potential crises-satellite denial, anti-satellite networks, and private-sector sabotage-requiring rapid attribution, credible retaliation, and allied coordination, but notes the U.S. lacks a formal crisis playbook. It also flags energy competition via space-based solar power. Without stronger leadership and policy alignment, the United States may cede influence and leave the rules of the road for decades to others.

October 19, 2025, 6:00 AM EDT. Several notable experts and funds have increased bear bets against Nvidia (NVDA), including Michael Burry, signaling growing doubt about the stock's lofty run. Nvidia's current valuation is eye-popping: a roughly $4.4 trillion market cap with a price-to-sales ratio near 28, a level many see as difficult to sustain. History shows that high-hype growth names can yield 40%+ declines during corrections. Yet Nvidia's leadership in AI hardware, its dominant GPU market position, and a deep software ecosystem provide support against a quick collapse. Analysts note the risk of a sharp factor-driven pullback even as the long-term AI opportunity remains intact. Seaport Global's Jay Goldberg has warned of a potential 40% drop in the near term, underscoring a cautious risk-reward landscape for aggressive buyers and sellers alike.

October 19, 2025, 5:58 AM EDT. Expect a SpaceX Falcon 9 liftoff from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station this morning, targeting 10:52 a.m. ET to deploy a batch of Starlink satellites into low-Earth orbit. Backup windows run until 2:52 p.m. If successful, the first stage will attempt a landing on a drone ship about eight minutes after liftoff. Forecasters call for sunny, high-confidence launch weather (well over 95%). No Brevard County sonic booms are expected. Florida Today's Space Team will post live updates and the webcast should begin about five minutes before liftoff.
