第一則:外資狂賣 3,025 億 台積電亮眼財報與大盤重挫形成反差
台股於 10 月 15 日重挫 1,655 點,創史上第六大收盤跌點,外資當天賣出的台股金額比買進多出 3,025 億元,更刷新歷史紀錄。台積電則在收盤後公布亮眼財報,與當天大盤重挫形成強烈反差。
這波跌勢主要受到美國通膨高於預期、科技股走弱影響,讓市場避險情緒升高。分析師指出,外資資金流向是觀察台股的重要指標,但成交量放大或短期反彈,都不一定代表股市已經落底,也突顯國際資金與市場情緒對台股的影響。
Foreign Investors Sell a Record NT$302.5 Billion, TSMC Reports Strong Earnings but Taiwan Stocks Plunge
Taiwan’s stock market plunged 1,655 points on October 15, marking the sixth-largest closing drop in history. Foreign investors sold NT$302.5 billion more in Taiwan stocks than they bought that day. TSMC reported strong earnings after the market closed, creating a sharp contrast with the day’s steep market decline.
The sell-off was mainly driven by higher-than-expected U.S. inflation and weakness in technology stocks, which increased risk-off moods in the market. Analysts say foreign investment flows are an important indicator for Taiwan stocks, but higher trading volume or a short-term rebound does not necessarily mean the market has bottomed out. This also highlights how global capital flows and market sentiment can affect Taiwan’s stock market.
第二則:愛國者飛彈耗盡 烏克蘭難擋俄軍彈道飛彈
CNN 於 10 月 15 日引述消息人士指出,烏克蘭已耗盡美製愛國者攔截飛彈,面對俄羅斯持續攻擊,防空能力也因此受到影響。近期俄軍攻擊基輔與哈爾科夫能源設施,也讓防空缺口更加受到關注。
愛國者飛彈價格昂貴,全球供應也十分短缺。澤倫斯基因此要求美國增加供應,並稱在獲得更多飛彈前,不會停止攻擊俄羅斯能源設施,也讓他與川普政府的分歧進一步加深。
Patriot Missiles Run Out, Ukraine Struggles to Stop Russian Ballistic Missiles
CNN cited a source on October 15 saying that Ukraine has run out of U.S.-made Patriot interceptor missiles, weakening its ability to defend against Russia’s continuous ballistic missile attacks. Recent Russian attacks on energy facilities in Kyiv and Kharkiv have also raised concerns about gaps in Ukraine’s air defenses.
Patriot missiles are expensive, and global supplies are also very limited. Zelenskyy has therefore asked the U.S. for more missiles and said Ukraine will not stop attacking Russian energy facilities until it receives more. This has further increased tensions between Zelenskyy and the Trump administration.
第三則:陸生借位拍手捏賴清德照 陸委會調查恐撤銷入境許可
總統賴清德於 10 月 12 日在台大出席活動時,一名來自南京的陸籍交換生借位拍下「手捏賴清德頭」的畫面,並在抖音寫下「小小賴清德拿下」等支持兩岸統一的文字,事後刪除內容並道歉。
陸委會於 10 月 15 日證實已收到檢舉,目前正調查此事。依現行規定,若陸籍人士在台交流期間有違反對等尊嚴原則的不當行為,可能被撤銷入境許可,一定期間內不得再來台。
Chinese Exchange Student Poses as if Pinching Lai’s Head, Entry Permit Could Be Revoked
During President Lai Ching-te’s visit to National Taiwan University on October 12, an exchange student from Nanjing took a forced-perspective photo that made it look like he was pinching Lai’s head. He later posted it on Tik Tok with the words “Little Lai Ching-te? Easy” and other messages supporting unification. He later deleted the post and apologized.
Taiwan’s Mainland Affairs Council confirmed on October 15 that it had received a complaint and is investigating the case. Under current rules, Chinese nationals who engage in inappropriate behavior that violates the principle of mutual respect during exchanges in Taiwan may have their entry permits revoked and be barred from entering Taiwan for a certain period.
第四則:Basecamp 不靠加班拚效率 而是保住不被打擾的工作時間
Basecamp 創辦人認為,每週工作 40 小時就足以做出好成果。如果事情做不完,問題可能不是工時太短,而是一天被會議、電話與任務切碎,真正能專心工作的時間只剩幾小時。
因此 Basecamp 取消進度會議,改讓員工線上更新工作,保留完整的專注時間。比起延長工時,公司更該減少不必要的工作與干擾,因為完整一小時,往往比四段零碎的 15 分鐘更有價值。
Basecamp Doesn’t Rely on Overtime, It Protects Uninterrupted Work Time
Basecamp’s founders believe 40 hours a week is enough to produce good results. If work does not get done, the problem may not be a lack of working hours. Instead, meetings, phone calls, and different tasks can break up the day, leaving only a few hours for truly focused work.
That is why Basecamp has removed status meetings and asks employees to post updates online instead, protecting longer periods of focused time. Rather than extending working hours, companies should reduce unnecessary work and interruptions, because one uninterrupted hour of focus can be more valuable than four separate 15-minute periods.
第五則:比跑步更燃脂!用負重行走打造強健體適能
負重行走每一公里消耗的熱量,比單純走路或跑步都多,它能燃燒脂肪,也能同時訓練腿部、核心與上半身,提升肌力、耐力與骨骼承受力。
其實,背著食物、工具或孩子長距離移動,曾是人類生活的重要能力。但隨著汽車、行李箱與購物推車普及,現代人愈來愈少需要負重。如今,這項古老活動正被重新當成一種簡單、實用的全身訓練。
Burn More Fat Than Running! Build Better Fitness with Rucking
Carrying weight while walking burns more calories per kilometer than simple walking or running, effectively burning fat. It simultaneously trains the legs, core, and upper body, boosting muscle strength, endurance, and bone capacity.
Carrying food, tools, or children over long distances was once a crucial human capability. However, with the popularity of cars, suitcases, and shopping carts, modern people carry weight far less often. Today, this ancient activity is being rediscovered as a simple and practical full-body workout.
Let’s wrap up today’s episode. We’ve learned about some important events happening around the world.
Taiwan’s stock market plunge shows how global economic uncertainty and foreign investors’ decisions can shake the market, even when major companies like TSMC report strong earnings.
Ukraine’s shortage of Patriot missiles is weakening its air defenses and increasing pressure on the U.S. to provide more support.
A Chinese exchange student’s forced-perspective photo of him pinching President Lai Ching-te’s head has sparked an investigation and could lead to his entry permit being revoked.
Basecamp shows that protecting uninterrupted focus may improve productivity more than simply working longer hours.
Rucking burns more fat than running and builds functional fitness, offering a powerful, natural way to improve overall health and endurance.
In the next episode, we will together explore the recent hot news with you in the morning. Don’t forget to come back. Have a nice day and hear me next time. Bye.
