Still amazing to see the significance KHive trolls on SM invest in Harris's worthless, meretricious pronouncements on #Gaza during the #2024election.

This #AdamJohnson piece is a great aide-mémoire for appreciating the hollowness and cynicism of Kamala's posturing on #Palestine while serving as the loyal and undissenting (*to the end*) no. 2 in the Genocide Joe Administration:

US Top News and Analysis | Greg Abel earns solid scorecard from Berkshire shareholders after first annual meeting

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

Greg Abel, the new CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, presided over the company’s first annual shareholders meeting without Warren Buffett, earning largely positive feedback for his steady, operationally‑focused presentation. Abel walked investors through the performance and outlook of Berkshire’s major units—including BNSF Railway, its energy operations, insurance businesses, and retail subsidiaries—and highlighted a growing interest in artificial‑intelligence tools to boost efficiency, especially in rail and data‑center‑driven utility growth. While shareholders appreciated the granular detail and the depth of leadership talent beyond Abel, such as Ajit Jain and Katie Farmer, some expressed disappointment over the modest quarterly share‑buyback ($235 million) and the lack of clearer guidance on future repurchases. Overall, the meeting reassured investors that Berkshire’s leadership bench is robust and that the post‑Buffett era is shaping up on solid footing.

US Top News and Analysis | Two topics likely to come up in the first Berkshire Hathaway annual meeting without Buffett

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

Berkshire Hathaway’s first annual meeting without Warren Buffett will test investor confidence in CEO Greg Abel as shareholders focus on capital‑allocation plans and technology strategy. With Buffett absent, Abel and insurance chief Ajit Jain will field questions, followed by a panel of subsidiary heads, shifting the tone from philosophical musings to detailed inquiries about operating businesses. Analysts expect heightened scrutiny of the recent $225 million share‑repurchase program—restarted in March after a pause since 2024—and whether its pace will increase, especially as the stock trades at an estimated 8 % discount to intrinsic value. Equally important will be discussions on Berkshire’s historically cautious approach to technology and how Abel plans to address investments in artificial‑intelligence‑driven industries under his leadership.
