As Warren Buffett hands over the reins of conglomerate Berkshire Hathaway (BRKA 0.29%) (BRKB +0.11%), questions abound about who will really manage the company's $308 billion equity portfolio and deploy its $373 billion in cash and short-term Treasury bills. Over a decade ago, Buffett hired Todd Combs and Ted Weschler, both former hedge fund managers, and tasked them with managing a small portion of Berkshire's overall stock portfolio. After Buffett announced his retirement and Combs departed Berkshire late last year, I had thought Weschler would run the bulk of Berkshire's public stock investments going forward. However, new CEO Greg Abel's first letter to shareholders seemed to indicate something quite different.

In his first letter to shareholders, Greg Abel went through Berkshire's businesses in great detail -- actually, much more detail than Buffett himself usually did. Abel came up through Berkshire via MidAmerican Energy, Berkshire's energy and utility operation, so it was not a surprise to hear him go through Berkshire's owned operations so thoroughly. But when Buffett handed over the CEO job to Abel, many, yours truly included, believed Abel would run the operating businesses at Berkshire, while Weschler would manage the stock portfolio. However, that doesn't appear to be the case. In Abel's letter, he writes: At Berkshire, equity investments are fundamental to our capital allocation activities; responsibility ultimately resides with me as CEO.

主要储备货币发行国由于资本持续流入，客观上造成主要储备货币高估，会削弱该国制造业竞争力；人民币国际化为境内外主体提供更加多元化的货币选择 2026年3月22日，北京，中国人民银行行长潘功胜在中国发展高层论坛上发言。图：中国发展高层论坛 【财新网】 “中国产业国际竞争力的提升，首先得益于40多年来中国的改革开放。”中国人民银行行长潘功胜在“2026中国发展高层论坛上”指出，中国将在全球制造大国的基础上加快成为全球需求核心市场。 在题为“中国高质量发展与全球经济再平衡”的主题演讲中，潘功胜首先分析，当前，地缘冲突和经贸冲突多发频发，关于全球经济失衡和再平衡讨论明显增多，也成为今年G20的重要议题。 “对于中国产业国际竞争力的来源，国际上有一些认知还停留在是因为中国政府提供了不合理的产业补贴。”他分析，中国产业国际竞争力的提升，首先得益于40多年来中国的改革开放。“在对外开放中，向国际上的合作伙伴，包括今天在座的国际优秀企业学习，我们在竞争中学习，在学习中成长。”

Beau Greaves' record 114-match winning streak in the PDC Women's Series came to an end as she lost to 4-1 to Fallon Sherrock in Wigan on Saturday. Three-time women's world champion Greaves, the first woman to hit a nine-dart finish on the PDC ProTour, had not been beaten since April 2025 and had won 17 women's events in a row. Sherrock, who averaged 102.12 to the 100.28 produced by Greaves, went on to lose 5-3 to Lisa Ashton in the final of the fifth event of the PDC Women's Series. Greaves bounced back to win the sixth round, which took place on Saturday night, beating Gemma Hayter 5-0 in the final to secure her fifth title of the year.

Analysts Warn of Potential Declines for Micron and Intel Semiconductor Stocks Most Wall Street analysts believe semiconductor companies Micron Technology and Intel are undervalued, but some think the stocks could drop sharply in the next year. Joseph Moore at Morgan Stanley has set Micron with a bear-case target price of $240 per share. That implies 43% downside from its current share price of $423. Kevin Cassidy at Rosenblatt Securities has set Intel with a target price of $30 per share. That implies 32% downside from its current share price of $44. Micron Technology's Recent Performance and Risks Micron is a semiconductor company that develops memory and storage solutions for personal computers, mobile devices, data center servers, and automotive systems. The company manufactures DRAM memory products, including high-bandwidth memory (HBM), and NAND flash memory products. Micron reported financial results that crushed estimates in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 (ended Feb. 26). Revenue increased 196% to $23.8 billion, driven by record sales in DRAM, HBM, and NAND memory products. Non-GAAP net income increased 682% to $12.20 per diluted share. However, investors have reason to be nervous. Memory chips are commodities, which means suppliers like Micron compete primarily on price, which itself is controlled by supply and demand. Demand for artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure has led to a critical memory chip supply shortage, causing prices to triple or even quadruple in recent months. Yet, history says the supply shortage will eventually become a supply glut as companies race to increase manufacturing capacity. That will cause prices to decrease. There is very positive sentiment on near-term results, and very low conviction about the durability of that strength. Wall Street expects Micron's earnings to peak in fiscal 2027, then fall sharply through fiscal 2029. Admittedly, the current valuation of 19 times adjusted earnings is cheap for a company whose adju...

megaflopp/iStock via Getty Images Market Brief - A Tough Market Week This week gave investors a brief exhale - and then took it back as Monday opened with genuine relief after news broke that a U.S.-led coalition would escort tankers through the Strait of Hormuz. On that news, oil pulled back sharply, the S&P surged 1.2%, and the Nasdaq led with a 1.4% gain. It was the index’s best single session in over a month. However, that optimism didn’t survive the week. By midweek, the inflation data changed the tone. February CPI came in line at 2.4% year-over-year, technically benign. However, as economists noted, it was the last clean read before the oil shock flooded the March data. The producer side told a more urgent story. February PPI jumped 0.7% month-over-month, its hottest reading since July 2025, pushing the year-over-year rate to 3.4%. Goods prices surged 1.1%, which was the largest single-month jump since August 2023, and core PPI logged its tenth consecutive monthly increase. That is a pipeline problem, and it arrives precisely when energy costs are about to hit with full force. But that wasn’t all, as the FOMC meeting was scheduled for Wednesday. The Fed held rates steady at 3.5%–3.75%, as expected. But it was the messaging that rattled markets. The updated dot plot pointed to just one cut in 2026 and another in 2027, with seven participants now signaling no cuts at all this year. Powell acknowledged the Fed had made progress on inflation, but “not as much as we had hoped .” With the potential for “higher rates” for the rest of this year, stocks fell to session lows. But that was the headline data. In the background, private credit continues quietly deteriorating. Blackstone, Blue Owl, and BlackRock have all seen redemption requests breach or approach the standard 5% threshold that allows managers to restrict withdrawals. JPMorgan’s Bill Eigen warned that “bad news often happens all at once” in private markets. That seems to be the case, as the opacity and lev...

On March 17, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) issued new guidance that effectively creates a formalized taxonomy for how regulators will govern crypto assets. The sweeping classification scheme is going to have major consequences for the future of the crypto markets, and, at least right now, the implications appear to be very positive. So without further ado, here are four things that every crypto investor should understand about the new landscape. 1. There are now five official categories for crypto assets The new framework sorts digital assets into five buckets: Digital commodities, digital collectibles, digital tools, stablecoins, and digital securities. Sixteen assets, including all of the major cryptos, were specifically named as digital commodities, including Ethereum, (ETH 3.17%) XRP, (XRP 2.96%) Solana, (SOL 2.93%) Cardano, Chainlink, Bitcoin, and Dogecoin. For Bitcoin, this was simply a reaffirmation of the prior regulatory status quo, but for the others, the designation dispels the past lack of legal clarity. In short, per the SEC, a digital commodity is something that derives its value from a blockchain network as well as from supply and demand, and importantly, explicitly not from the result of someone else's managerial work. So if a coin's value depends on its network's programmatic functioning rather than a team promising returns, it's a commodity, and not a security. The distinction is critical because securities, like stocks, are subject to a different (and more rigorous) set of regulations governing what their owners and management teams are allowed to say and do. On that note, "digital securities" are now defined as tokens representing traditional financial instruments like stocks or bonds on a blockchain. And only that category falls under the SEC's jurisdiction. Somewhat confusingly, stablecoins may or may not be securities depending on their structure, per the new classification -- ...

The stock market has been volatile lately as war rages on in the Middle East and earnings season winds down. If you're looking to dip your toe into some stocks, say with $1,000, let's look at two strong options. Broadcom Broadcom (AVGO 2.99%) has struggled to find its footing a bit in the market this year, but the company has one of the best growth outlooks in the megacap tech space. The company is seeing strong momentum in its data center networking business, but its biggest opportunity is in custom AI chips. Expand NASDAQ : AVGO Broadcom Today's Change ( -2.99 %) $ -9.57 Current Price $ 310.27 Key Data Points Market Cap $1.5T Day's Range $ 309.93 - $ 321.50 52wk Range $ 138.10 - $ 414.61 Volume 1M Avg Vol 26M Gross Margin 64.96 % Dividend Yield 0.78 % As spending on AI infrastructure continues to climb, hyperscalers (owners of large data centers) are increasingly looking for cheaper alternatives to Nvidia's graphics processing units (GPUs). One of the best options is to develop custom chips called ASICs (application-specific integrated circuits), which are hardwired chips designed for specific tasks. Broadcom has proven itself a leader in this field, helping co-develop Alphabet's highly successful tensor processing units (TPUs). With TPU demand soaring and Broadcom securing commitments from other hyperscalers to help them create their own custom AI ASICs, Broadcom is set to see explosive growth. The company said it is on track to generate more than $100 billion in AI ASIC revenue alone in its fiscal 2027, which is more than 1.5 times its total fiscal 2025 revenue. Given its huge growth opportunity ahead and the market tailwinds shifting in its favor, now is a great time to scoop up Broadcom shares. Amazon Amazon (AMZN 1.66%) is another stock that has lagged to start the year. While higher fuel prices are a headwind, nobody has been better at driving efficiencies than Amazon. Through its use of robots and AI, the company has been reducing costs and seeing impressiv...

"Never let a good crisis go to waste." The phrase has been alternately attributed to everyone from Niccolo Machiavelli in 1513 to Winston Churchill in 1945 to... Rahm Emmanuel in 2008. But in 2026, it's Elon Musk who's putting the principle into practice at SpaceX. Things are not going well for Musk's rivals over at Boeing (BA 3.01%) and Lockheed Martin's (LMT 1.58%) joint venture, United Launch Alliance, you see. ULA has a new rocket, the Vulcan Centaur, that it hopes will replace its outgoing Atlas V. The problem is, Vulcan's only been able to launch four times in the past two years -- and during two of those launches, parts started falling off midflight! Last month, the U.S. Space Force ordered Vulcan launches halted while ULA figures out a fix to its disintegrating-rockets problem, leaving the U.S. government with just one space company remaining with which to launch its satellites: SpaceX. And how is SpaceX responding? Is it cheering ULA along and waiting patiently for its rival to right the ship and resume Vulcan launches so the two companies can compete on a level playing field? No, it is not. Instead, SpaceX is raising its prices on Falcon 9 launches... just months ahead of an expected $1.75 trillion IPO. SpaceX raises prices -- again When SpaceX first began commercial launches of its new Falcon 9 rocket, its advertised price -- $61.2 million -- was the lowest in America and just a fraction of the $350 million and up that ULA was charging at the time. SpaceX announced its first-ever price increase in 2016, raising its launch price (note: not its own cost to launch a rocket) to $62 million. SpaceX raised prices twice more over the next 10 years, first to $67 million in 2022, then to the strangely precise $69.75 million in 2024. Sometime in the past few weeks, SpaceX upped that number to $74 million. We don't know precisely when. SpaceX rarely brags about price increases. But according to historical snapshots of the company's "capabilities and services" webpag...
