Warren Buffett took control of Berkshire Hathaway (BRKA 0.76%) (BRKB 0.77%) in 1965. Under his leadership, the company grew into a multinational conglomerate worth more than $1 trillion, and the stock returned about 6,100,000%. Over the same period, the S&P 500 (^GSPC +0.02%) returned about 46,100%. After six decades, Buffett stepped down as Berkshire's CEO in December 2025 and handed the reins to...
Warren Buffett took control of Berkshire Hathaway (BRKA 0.76%) (BRKB 0.77%) in 1965. Under his leadership, the company grew into a multinational conglomerate worth more than $1 trillion, and the stock returned about 6,100,000%. Over the same period, the S&P 500 (^GSPC +0.02%) returned about 46,100%. After six decades, Buffett stepped down as Berkshire's CEO in December 2025 and handed the reins to Greg Abel, who previously served as vice chairman of noninsurance operations. Abel has already overseen major changes to Berkshire's stock portfolio, including his decision to triple the company's stake in Alphabet (GOOGL +0.03%) (GOOG +0.00%) in the first quarter. Berkshire now has nearly 7% of its $332 billion portfolio invested in Alphabet stock. That could be a brilliant move, given that the company has positioned itself as a serious threat to Nvidia (NVDA 0.99%). Here's what investors should know. Alphabet's Google has been building custom AI chips for over a decade Alphabet began developing custom artificial intelligence (AI) accelerator chips called Tensor Processing Units (TPUs) in 2015. They were "designed for a single, specific purpose: running the unique matrix and vector-based mathematics that's needed for building and running AI models," according to the company. Alphabet, which recently launched its 8th generation TPUs, first made its custom AI chips available to Google Cloud customers in 2018. They have since become an important source of revenue, drawing demand from several large AI companies, including Anthropic and Meta Platforms. Anthropic has agreed to buy or rent up to a million TPUs in a deal valued at "tens of billions of dollars." VentureBeat reports that about 600,000 of those chips will be leased through traditional cloud computing contracts, while 400,000 will be sold directly to Anthropic. Meta Platforms has agreed to rent TPUs in a deal worth "billions of dollars," according to The Information. In addition, Meta is reportedly talking to Alphabe...

Billionaire investor Warren Buffett built his fortune through his ability to pick out really great companies, get in at a good price, and stick with these players for the long haul. This helped him deliver a market-beating compounded annual gain during his 60 years at the helm of Berkshire Hathaway. Buffett turned over the chief executive officer job to Greg Abel a few months ago, but the Oracle of Omaha, as Buffett is often called, remains chairman and hasn't left the world of investing. And investors continue to look to him for investing inspiration. With this in mind, let's consider an investment that Buffett has recommended time and time again. It's an asset he's held in the past, and he recommends it particularly to the non-professional investor. In fact, this Buffett-approved investment may even turn $300 per month into $1 million over time. Let's check out this evergreen buy -- and see how it could help you grow wealth. Buffett's investing strategy As I mentioned, Buffett has demonstrated his strength in identifying companies that have what it takes to deliver returns over time. He looks for a solid moat, or competitive advantage, smart management, and other important qualities that may lead to ongoing success. Meanwhile, Buffett also pays close attention to valuation -- and will only hit the buy button if the price is reasonable. So you might be expecting that the asset I'm going to talk about here is one of Buffett's most beloved stocks, such as Coca-Cola or American Express -- well-known companies he's held for many years. But it's not. Instead, this investment that Buffett wholeheartedly recommends is something that will offer you exposure to a wide variety of winners. I'm talking about an S&P 500 index fund. In the past, Buffett has spoken of the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (VOO 0.01%), an exchange-traded fund he held in the Berkshire Hathaway portfolio for a time. Why invest in such a fund? Here's what Buffett had to say in his 2013 letter to shareholders: The...

Jacob Wackerhausen/iStock via Getty Images By Catherine Yoshimoto, Director, Product Management, Benchmark Product Development and Sarah McCarthy, Equity Index Policy, Senior Manager, Equities & Multi Asset Faster entry for large new initial public offerings (IPOs) into the Russell US Indexes will help these 40-year-old equity benchmarks stay true to their original goal: balance broad market representation and the ability of portfolio managers to replicate the index through consistent and transparent rules. A “naïve” construction approach still requires design choices The Russell US Indexes, launched in 1984, follow a “naïve” construction methodology. This means that the indexes should yield the return and risk an investor could obtain from exposure to the broad US equity market, without any extraordinary knowledge of the opportunity set. By taking this naïve approach, the Russell US Indexes differ from some competitors. There is no committee deciding which stocks should make it in and when. There is also no requirement for companies to be profitable before joining. As long as a stock is US-listed and meets the other eligibility criteria , it can join the Russell. The index rules are written to be objective, transparent and straightforward to understand. This doesn’t mean the index runs itself. The manager of the index still faces important choices. For example, should newly listed companies join on the day of the IPO, a few days later, next month, quarter or next year? Other index design questions—for example, on nationality, exchange of listing, company structure, permissible share type, minimum free float and minimum voting rights—don’t have right or wrong answers either. In setting out these design decisions, the index manager has to balance the potentially competing requirements of different client categories, while staying true to the objective of the benchmark. How the Russell US Indexes have added IPOs in the past When the Russell US Indexes were launched, t...

The wind industry is entering a new phase of scale. Offshore installations are set to surge in 2026 as a new generation of massive projects comes online, while onshore markets continue expanding across the globe. But the picture beneath those headline numbers is increasingly nuanced. Offshore developers are still grappling with supply chain bottlenecks, higher financing costs and policy uncertainty, even as governments accelerate deployment in the name of energy security and rising power demand.
