How Tesla Shareholders Upheld Elon Musk’s Sky-High PayTesla shareholders on Thursday voted to reaffirm a roughly $48 billion compensation package for Elon Musk, which was originally approved in 2018 and was nullified by a judge early this year. Mr. Musk’s pay package helped him become one of the richest people in the world. Thursday’s vote arose from a court case in Delaware, where the company is incorporated, that voided Mr. Musk’s pay package. California Public Employees’ Retirement System, or CalPERS, the largest pension fund in the United States, also opposed the pay package. The debate about Mr. Musk’s compensation raised questions about the limits of executive compensation and the accountability of Silicon Valley billionaires whose wealth gives them vast influence.

Chubb CEO Evan Greenberg told CNBC's Jim Cramer on Thursday that climate change is one factor that's driving the price of insurance. "Climate change has created tremendous volatility, and it continues to evolve," Greenberg said. "And the concentrations of values in areas where, where the climate – the impact of the climate – is greatest continues to increase." Known for insuring businesses and wealthy individuals, Chubb is also a major insurer of agriculture, Greenberg said. "And so, therefore, reflecting loss cost, when you think general inflation, when you think climate change, when you think litigation, that is driving the pricing of insurance."

New York CNN —The New York Stock Exchange is investigating a technical issue on Monday as Berkshire Hathaway and dozens of other stocks are halted. NYSE said the technical issue is related to a mechanism designed to prevent stock prices from swinging wildly. Dozens of stocks are paused because they traded outside those so-called limit up-limit down bands, according to NYSE’s website. Joe Saluzzi, co-founder of Themis Trading, told CNN that the technical issues don’t appear to be impacting the broader market. However, Barrick Gold (GOLD), a Canadian gold and copper producer, was displayed as trading at just 25 cents — down 98.5% on the day, according to Refinitiv.

New York CNN —US stocks tumbled Monday after fresh data stoked concerns about the economy’s health. Investors have in recent weeks grappled with data that suggests inflation is continuing to run hot while the economy cools. The Personal Consumption Expenditures price index, the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge, showed Friday that inflation stayed stubbornly high in March. New gross domestic product data released last Thursday showed that the US economy expanded at a weaker pace earlier this year than initially reported. Elsewhere, the New York Stock Exchange said Monday that a technical issue that halted trading for some stocks and caused Berkshire Hathaway shares to be down 99.97% has been resolved.

Berkshire Hathaway 's purchase of Treasury bills has been so aggressive that the Warren Buffett-controlled conglomerate now owns 3% of the entire bill market, according to JPMorgan. With short-term rates topping 5%, his massive cash pile, which had been an area of concern when rates were near zero, is now earning Berkshire a substantial return. The investment legend recently said he finds cash attractive compared to other assets, especially stocks. Berkshire's cash position may top $200 billion at the end of the second quarter, he added. "I don't mind at all, under current conditions, building the cash position," he said at Berkshire's shareholder confab.

Cyber insurance has become "a very fashionable product," Jain said at the annual meeting. Shokrai says categorizing how to attribute an event is the topic of much debate between insurance companies. "That is a big debate between insurance companies; it is an important distinction that needs clarity," Shokrai said. "I will tell you that most people want to be in anything that's fashionable when they write insurance. "Probably Warren Buffet would have called cybersecurity insurance an opportunity when he was younger," he said.

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.

Jeff Muhlenkamp, lead portfolio manager at Muhlenkamp & CompanyJeff Muhlenkamp Muhlenkamp & CompanyJeff Muhlenkamp's namesake Muhlenkamp Fund (MUHLX) has been in the top 3% of its category in the past half-decade, thanks to trades like one he pulled off on Chinese internet firm Baidu (BIDU). "I pretty much expected, 'OK, if I get a double out of this in five years, I'll be happy' — that's pretty decent money," Muhlenkamp said. He noted that industrials within the Russell Mid Cap value index have returned 116% over the previous five years.

He suggested Nvidia could soon surpass Microsoft 's market capitalization but explained why some on Wall Street are suspicious of the artificial intelligence darling's swift journey to the top. "Somehow, to so many, it just doesn't seem right that a company they rarely interact with could be this big. If Nvidia keeps up its current growth pace, Cramer said it could soar past Apple and overtake Microsoft soon. At around $3.2 trillion, Microsoft is the biggest company on the market, followed by Apple at about $2.9 trillion and Nvidia at roughly $2.8 trillion. "And for all we know Nvidia, not Apple, not Microsoft, is Secretariat, the greatest of them all."

Berkshire Hathaway looks like an attractive investment, according to Argus. "On valuation, the stock is trading at 21-times our 2024 operating EPS forecast, below the current S & P 500 multiple of 24-times," Heal wrote. This discounted valuation comes even as Berkshire Hathaway Class A shares are up 12% for the year, outpacing the broad market index. Heal pointed out that Berkshire has consistently shown strong performance, with its stock returns doubling those of the S & P 500 since 1965. To be sure, Heal pointed to several risks Berkshire faces, including the cyclicality of many of its fully-owned businesses.

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.
