I feel this one. @MuggsyBogues is anybody who dares to excel at something that people look at you and assume you can’t do.

Seagate $STX faces its own high expectations this afternoon; consensus EPS was revised up from $5.88 to $7.40 since last report's guide. Pushing the other way? Toshiba is doubling hard drive capacity. Focus on the guide, and whether pricing and margins hold.

Easy acceleration for hard drive maker $WDC Western Digital, with beats across the board – but the stock is still initially down after hours on a rough market day for tech.

Is gas the new eggs? More fun with charts: Here’s both since 2020. Note the #egg price spike in 2024 that played heavily into that election year. Then note the #gas spike in 2026.

If there's a nit to be picked with the $SPCX #SpaceX report, it's that #Starlink consumer subscribers at 13.6 million came in light of UBS expectations of 14.3M y/y. But still up 89%. The stock's up after hours on the headline beats.

Most warehouse robots still work behind a fence. Digit 5 is engineered to work alongside people. Our CEO Peggy Johnson joined @jonfortt on @CNBC’s #ForttKnox to talk safety, the labor gap, and why it’s humans and robots — not humans or robots. Watch the conversation: cnbc.com/video/2026/10/20/pe…

With Salesforce’s $5.66B bid for $BRZE, the question for the market has to be: Should investors have seen more value where Benioff does? Specialist software names have underperformed in an AI infrastructure-driven market. Braze is a textbook example:

Introducing Hugo: the first human companion robot. At Boston Dynamics, I was Chief Strategy Officer, bringing robots into the real world. My co-founder, Farbod Farshidian, led research at the RAI Institute. Together, 15+ years teaching robots to run, jump, and work. So we asked: what if robots could connect with people? Hugo runs on the first Vision-Language-Expression (VLE) model. He links what he sees and hears to movement, expression, and gesture. He notices you, reads the room, and reacts in real time. And he's only the first. Dynamic Creatures is @BostonDynamics' official entertainment and hospitality partner. We're building a cast of characters with film studios, resorts, and theme parks. dynamiccreatures.com

Here’s a look at the 1-month move in the three major indices. Note the #Nasdaq was outperforming over the period, but today is being overtaken by the S&P, with the #Dow close on its heels. Chart as of 11:30ET today.

$CRWV is still trading well above its $40/share IPO price from March 2025, but way off its June 2025 highs above $180 a share, as #neocloud #AI stocks have been under pressure.

Strip energy out and producer prices still rose 0.7% in September. That could put pressure on the Fed to hike again this year.
