☆ Berkshire shareholders remember Charlie Munger—3 lessons that will make you a better investor
  + stars: | 2024-05-04 | by ( Ryan Ermey | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +3 min
This year's annual meeting of Berkshire Hathaway shareholders kicked off with a video tribute to Berkshire vice chairman and Warren Buffett right-hand man Charlie Munger, who passed away last year at age 99. Buying great companies, rather than great valuesWhen citing Munger's most important lessons, multiple shareholders on the floor recalled a key early disagreement between Munger and Buffett. "I learned that it's better to buy good businesses at fair prices than pretty bad businesses at really great prices," said Jerone Gillespie of Maryland. "I think that's the same thing that Warren Buffett said was one of the most important lessons that he learned from him." But now that you control Berkshire, add to it wonderful businesses purchased at fair prices and give up buying fair businesses at wonderful prices," Buffett recalls Munger telling him in 1965.

☆ Here's how to tell if your old $2 bills are worth anything
  + stars: | 2023-11-10 | by ( Sebastian Cahill | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +3 min
Now, the United States Currency Auction, which allows people to sell rare US currency, lists some $2 bills as worth upwards of $4,500. But how can you tell if you have a valuable bill or a common one that isn't worth much? Bills that have red, brown, or blue seals printed between 1862 and 1917 could be worth up to $1,000, per IndyStar. Other serial numbers that would interest collectors are "solid" or "ladder" serial numbers. Solid serial numbers are all the same digit, and ladders have digits in ascending order, per MarketWatch.

☆ Opinion: No, nuclear power isn’t the ‘big bazooka’ climate fix you might think
  + stars: | 2023-04-20 | by ( Opinion Paul Hockenos | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +6 min
Berlin CNN —Germany’s exit from nuclear power on April 15 doesn’t single it out as a quirky anomaly or black sheep in a world otherwise enthusiastically embracing nuclear energy. Since a highpoint in the early 2000s, the number of operational nuclear reactors worldwide has fallen – from 438 to 411, according to this year’s World Nuclear Industry Status Report. While at the same time, renewable energy generation – clean tech like solar, wind, bioenergy and geothermal – has expanded by more than 30-fold. In fact, when matched up against renewables as a source of energy that doesn’t emit carbon, nuclear power falls egregiously short. Nuclear power may look like an attractive, big bazooka fix to rising emissions.
☆ A nuclear plant that leaked 400,000 gallons of radioactive water will be shut down after second incident
  + stars: | 2023-03-24 | by ( Erik Ortiz | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +5 min
This second leak involved hundreds of gallons of radioactive water, according to the utility company, far less than the 400,000 gallons that was discovered leaking in late November. "I think the general public needs to be informed more about this," Megan Sanborn, 31, who lives 6 miles upstream from the nuclear plant, said. Tritium spills do happen occasionally but are typically contained within a nuclear site, according to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. The incident comes as Xcel Energy is in the midst of seeking an operating license renewal for Monticello. At a town hall meeting over the license on Wednesday, before the latest leak was known publicly, Nuclear Regulatory Commission officials sought to allay residents' fears.
☆ Google got a pandemic boost for its Workspace software but blew it, insiders say. Now it plans to attack Microsoft with a new push in AI.
  + stars: | 2023-03-14 | by ( Rosalie Chan | Hugh Langley | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +14 min
Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian spent much of his time at a partner meeting talking about Workspace, tweeted Tony Safoian, CEO of Google Cloud partner SADA Systems. "Around the globe, more than nine million paying organizations, and more than three billion users rely on Google Workspace for communication and collaboration. Other major customers like Deutsche Bank use Google Cloud for cloud infrastructure, but Microsoft Office for collaboration software. Forty-four percent of software procurers whose organization plans to or currently uses Microsoft's collaboration software also use Google Workspace, according to the 2022 Forrester study. While Google Cloud is still unprofitable, it has decreased losses to $480 million, down from $890 million last year.
☆ Fact Check-‘Democracy is nothing more than mob rule’ quote falsely attributed to Thomas Jefferson
  + stars: | 2023-02-16 | by ( Reuters Fact Check | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +1 min
Former U.S. President Thomas Jefferson never said that “democracy is nothing more than mob rule,” contrary to claims on social media saying he made this statement. Users are sharing variations of this quote on Twitter (here) and Facebook (here), falsely attributing it to him. The website Monticello.org (www.monticello.org/), which is managed by the Thomas Jefferson Foundation, included this statement in a list of spurious quotations (here). Reuters has previously debunked other quotes falsely attributed to Jefferson (here), (here). There is no evidence a quote saying that “democracy is nothing more than mob rule” was said by Thomas Jefferson.
