☆ Op-ed: How activist investors are deactivating with proxy battle losses
  + stars: | 2024-05-23 | by ( Jeffrey Sonnenfeld | Steven Tian | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +7 min
Whether today's activist investors contribute any genuine economic value is open for debate. As this year's proxy season draws to a close, defeat after defeat for activist investors in proxy fights this year – most prominently at Disney and Norfolk Southern – raises the question: Are activist investors increasingly getting de-activated, losing their credibility and power? These self-styled "activist investors" are distinct from the original activists who helped catalyze needed governance reforms two decades back. Many of today's activist investors are a far cry from the original, heroic crusaders for shareholder value who pioneered the activism space decades ago. However, given the failing financial performance of many of today's activist investors, their losing streak in proxy fights and increasing public rejection of their bullying tactics, the credibility and value of activist investors writ large is increasingly imperiled.

☆ Warren Buffett's toll roads, Elon Musk's bottlenecks, and why both men prize the same kinds of businesses
  + stars: | 2023-09-02 | by ( Theron Mohamed | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +6 min
Buffett likes toll roads that give him monopoly power and the ability to raise prices easily. AdvertisementAdvertisementYears later, one of Buffett's companies held a 24% stake in Detroit International Bridge Co., the only public company in the country that owned a toll bridge. He also highlighted toll roads among the specific assets he wanted to buy in his Buffett Partnership letters in the 1950s. "I have said in an inflationary world that a toll bridge would be a great thing to own if it was unregulated." Shared valuesBuffett appears to like toll roads because they're a simple, safe, and reliable way to make money.

☆ Warren Buffett blasted earnings manipulation as 'disgusting' in his annual letter. Here's what he meant, and how GE legend Jack Welch ties into it.

Warren Buffett blasted earnings manipulation as "disgusting" and "one of the shames of capitalism." Former GE CEO Jack Welch specialized in using legal but creative accounting to beat forecasts. Look no further than Jack Welch, the late CEO of General Electric, for insights into the legal but controversial practice. He made it his mission to beat Wall Street's forecasts, and deliver slow, steady growth that would secure a higher valuation for GE stock. Welch's obsession with GE hitting its numbers each quarter spurred him to ruthlessly cut costs and fire workers as needed.
