Amazon’s election coverage plan engendered lots of TV industry chatter when it was first reported by Puck and Variety over the weekend.

The Amazon election event – which has yet to be named – will be his first major project since signing off MSNBC three years ago.

When Warren Buffett, the ultimate buy-and-hold investor, sells a stock, it often sends a negative signal about the underlying business and maybe even the entire industry. "We're more reluctant to sell them than most people," Buffett said of his large positions at Berkshire's annual meeting in 2009. Bank of America sales Many top holdings in Berkshire Hathaway's equity portfolio are decades old — Buffett has held Coca-Cola shares since 1988 and American Express since 1991. Buffett said bank failures in 2008 during the Global Financial Crisis , and again in 2023, lessened confidence in the system, made worse by poor messaging by regulators and politicians. At the time, Buffett foresaw more bank failures down the road , but stuck with his Bank of America investment, partly because he personally negotiated the original deal and admired CEO Brian Moynihan.

So far, we have yet to see a barrage of rockets from Hezbollah that has caused significant (and known) damage to Israeli targets. But if it tries to project strength and fails, owing to Israeli interceptions, that will just compound its loss of face. It has shown an extraordinarily high threshold for pain over the past months and may have a longer view in hand. Yet most profoundly, it is Israel’s next steps that matter most.
