Warren Buffett continues to stockpile cash, slashes his Apple stake: … Warren Buffett is doing his best Scrooge McDuck impression—his conglomerate Berkshire Hathaway increased his cash pile to a record $325.2 billion in Q3 from $276.9 billion the previous quarter, although there are no reports of him throwing on a bathing suit and swimming in it. The Oracle of Omaha, who sold 389 million Apple shares in Q2, dumped about a quarter of his Apple stake in Q3, along with more Bank of America shares. Overall, Berkshire sold $36.1 billion of stock during Q3 and bought just $1.5 billion: It’s the eighth straight quarter during which Buffett was a net seller of stocks.

Candidates hit Western PA on Election Eve. Good thing the Steelers had a bye week yesterday, because Pittsburgh is being overrun by the presidential campaigns. Pennsylvania and its 19 electoral votes are considered a must-win for Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, who will both hold rallies in the city today. In the latest New York Times/Siena poll, PA is a dead heat.

Another rate cut is on tap…but when will the next one come? Despite last week’s messy jobs report showing signs of a cooling labor market, the Fed is expected to lower interest rates by a traditional quarter point on Thursday following a meaty cut of 50 basis points in September. How the Fed plays the rest of the year remains less of a sure thing, and investors will be looking for clues about when and if Jerome Powell will consider cuts beyond this one. All of this will take place against the backdrop of an election that may or may not be decided by the time the Fed meeting wraps up.

JERUSALEM (AP) — The Israeli military said Sunday it has carried out a ground raid into Syria, seizing a Syrian citizen involved in Iranian networks. It was the first time in the current war that Israel announced its troops operated in Syrian territory.
Israel has carried out airstrikes in Syria multiple times over the past year, targeting members of Lebanon’s Hezbollah and officials from Iran, the close ally of both Hezbollah and Syria. But it has not previously made public any ground forays into Syria.
Iran's supreme leader threatens Israel and US with 'a crushing response' over Israeli attack

Iran's supreme leader on Saturday threatened Israel and the U.S. with “a crushing response” over attacks on Iran and its allies.
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei spoke as Iranian officials are increasingly threatening to launch yet another strike against Israel after its Oct. 26 attack on the Islamic Republic that targeted military bases and other locations and killed at least five people.
“The enemies, whether the Zionist regime or the United States of America, will definitely receive a crushing response to what they are doing to Iran and the Iranian nation and to the resistance front," Khamenei said in video released by Iranian state media.
The supreme leader did not elaborate on the timing of the threatened attack, nor the scope. The U.S. military operates on bases throughout the Middle East, with some troops now manning a Terminal High Altitude Area Defense, or THAAD, battery in Israel.
