In a virtual presentation to pitch his closed-end vehicle Pershing Square USA Ltd., the billionaire investor recalled discovering Buffett's writing in his early 20s and learning from the unusual career path of the "Oracle of Omaha." And that story was really the inspiration behind launching Pershing Square." The 58-year-old Ackman has mostly achieved that goal with almost 90% of Pershing's assets now in a permanent capital format . Most of its capital is in Pershing Square Holdings, a $15 billion closed-end fund that trades in Europe. So my ambition was to get to a very similar place as Warren Buffett as promptly and as practicable," Ackman said.

Sixteen years ago, Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway unveiled a $230 million investment in Chinese electric vehicle startup BYD , sparking questions about the conglomerate's unusual foray into early-stage technology. Lately, Berkshire has been selling down the position, ringing the register after earning billions of dollars during its hyper-growth phase. Berkshire trimmed its BYD stake to 5.99% as of June 19 from 7% just a few days earlier , according to a Hong Kong Stock Exchange filing . It has since become the top car brand in China, as well as a major producer of EV batteries. "From a standing start at zero and with very little capital, he rapidly was able to create the best-selling single model in China," Munger said.

Charlie Munger wasn't just an acclaimed investor, one of the masterminds behind Berkshire Hathaway's decades of financial success. He also gave great life advice, according to billionaire philanthropist Melinda French Gates. French Gates, 59, shared her favorite lesson of Munger's during a recent commencement speech at Stanford University. "As a society, we aren't always set up to feel responsibility for the person who's next to us or the person who's on the other side of a divide or a debate," French Gates added. Similarly, French Gates urged her audience to make "strong, reciprocal bonds with other people, even if they disagree on issues big or small."

The S&P 500 could crash 48% when the bubble in stocks pops and a recession hits, Paul Dietrich said. The elite strategist pointed to a massively overvalued market and cracks in the economy. AdvertisementThe S&P 500 could be cut in half when the stock-market bubble pops and the US economy sinks into recession, Paul Dietrich says.

Nvidia 's furious rally to become the king of the megacap stocks has also put it above the entire stock market value of some of the world's largest economies. On Tuesday, Nvidia surpassed $3.3 trillion in market capitalization, moving it ahead of Microsoft as the biggest stock in the U.S. But its market cap had already raced ahead of the cumulative value for entire stock markets in Germany, France and the United Kingdom, measured individually and in U.S. dollars. Only India, Japan, China and the U.S. have stock markets bigger than Nvidia alone, according to Deutsche Bank. The rally has also fueled concerns about the concentration of the U.S. stock market in just a few technology names.

Warren Buffett has words of wisdom for young people early in their careers. Second: In order to reach your goals, hone your communication skills. Developing communication skills is "a modest improvement that can make a major difference in your future earning power, as well as in many other aspects of your life," Buffett told Gillian Zoe Segal in an interview for her 2015 book, "Getting There: A Book of Mentors." It's an "essential" skill, no matter what job you're in, because you need to be "able to get others to follow your ideas," he added. Understanding how to communicate can help you land a job or a promotion, experts say — and "communication" was ranked No.

When it comes to claiming Social Security retirement benefits, experts agree it's generally best to delay. Yet many people still claim early — either at the earliest possible age of 62 or before their full retirement age. Those early claims result in reduced Social Security benefits for life. To get 100% of the benefits you've earned, you need to wait until full retirement age — between age 66 and 67, depending on your date of birth. Here's what experts say to the most common arguments for claiming Social Security benefits as soon as possible.

Warren Buffett's best return — on a percentage basis — was scored when he was starting out with little money seven decades ago. The Oracle of Omaha once vowed that he could easily produce a 50% annual return if he was only managing $1 million. "If I was running $1 million today, or $10 million for that matter, I'd be fully invested. At an early age, Buffett developed an extraordinary knack for picking cheap stocks, oftentimes troubled companies at deep discounts. You can't just be in love with the money, you've really got to just find it," he said.

The billionaire shared a scheduling tip in a Friday Threads post, citing fellow billionaire Warren Buffett. "(In hindsight, it's a lesson I could have learned a lot sooner had I taken more peeks at Warren Buffett's intentionally light calendar.)" "I thought that was the only way you could do things," Gates said of his packed schedule in a 2017 interview alongside Buffett. People who have the freedom to focus their time on creative work as opposed to performative busywork are happier, more productive, and more engaged at work, Business Insider previously reported. After seeing Buffett's schedule, Gates relaxed his own calendar.

Bill Gates and Warren Buffett have given each other a few tips over the course of their friendship, which has lasted for more than three decades and counting. One of those lessons is something Gates wishes he'd learned a lot sooner, to clear up his busy schedule — and possibly even made him happier and more productive. "In hindsight, it's a lesson I could have learned a lot sooner had I taken more peeks at Warren Buffett's intentionally light calendar." Gates finally learned to cut his employees, and himself, some slack after catching a peek of the Berkshire Hathaway CEO's personal daybook. "[I] remember Warren showing me his calendar ... he [still] has days that there's nothing on it," Gates said, adding that Buffett's sparser schedule taught him an important lesson.

An unequal distribution of wealth in the U.S. can make it so some children are behind from birth. Now lawmakers are considering whether federal children's savings accounts can help. One proposal — the 401Kids Savings Act — would create savings accounts for all newborns. Children's savings accounts are currently available statewide in seven states — California, Illinois, Maine, Nebraska, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island. At the end of last year, there were 121 children's savings account programs in 39 states serving 5.8 million children.
