Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway has reduced its stake in Bank of America to below 10% amid a selling spree that started in mid-July. The move brings his holdings down to 775 million shares, or a stake of about 9.987%. Since the holding is now under the key 10% threshold, Berkshire is no longer required to report its related transactions in a timely manner. The next 13F filing in mid-November will only reveal Berkshire's equity holdings as of the end of September. Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan previously said the market is absorbing the stock, aided by the bank's own repurchasing.

☆ 31-year-old had to go nearly $200,000 over budget to become a homeowner: '6 figures nowadays is nothing'
▼ + stars: | 2024-10-10 | by ( Mike Winters | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

In early 2024, Kelly Diehr and her husband set out to buy their first home in Denver. With no kids, six-figure income and a budget of $600,000, the couple felt like they were in a solid position to afford a single detached home where they could raise a family. However, like many first-time buyers, they were disappointed by what they could afford, as median home prices almost immediately started rising from $599,000 to $639,000 between January and May, according to Realtor.com. And like many first-time buyers, the couple were forced to compromise by stretching their budget far beyond what they originally planned. Such concessions are common in new developments, where developers often need to sell units quickly — even in a competitive market like Denver.

☆ Wimbledon removes line judges after 147 years in favor of electronic system
▼ + stars: | 2024-10-10 | by ( Matias Grez | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +2 min

CNN —For the first time in its 147-year history, Wimbledon will be removing line judges from all of its courts during the tournament. The All England Club announced on Wednesday that from the 2025 championships onwards, electronic line calling (ELC) will be used after it was successfully tested in 2024. ELC will replace the line judges who call “out” or “fault” during a match and will also be used in Wimbledon qualifying ahead of the tournament. Wimbledon successfully trialed the technology at this year's championships. Wimbledon’s adoption of the technology leaves the clay-court French Open as the only remaining grand slam yet to implement ELC.

When he was president, Trump responded to several hurricanes. "A charitable interpretation would be mixed on crisis management," Birkland told BI about Trump's past responses to natural disasters.

Counterfeiters are already trying to cash in on a weight loss drug that the company hasn't even put on the market yet: retatrutide.

To lower costs, 1 in 3 homeowners are willing to hire a contractor with holes in their resume.

Generally, homeowners say reputation is the most important factor when hiring a contractor (25%), followed by experience (23%), cost (19%), personal recommendations (13%), availability (11%) and estimated project timeline (10%). As homeowners juggle insurance claims and recovery efforts from back-to-back storm aftermaths, one thing to keep in mind is who to hire as a contractor.

But if the storm escalates to a G5, auroras could be visible across southern states and elsewhere around the world.
