I break down the truth about OMAH's 95% "return of capital" distributions and explain what's really happening to your money over time.

The team broke it all down with JPMorgan Asset Management's Chief Global Strategist. Plus: how to play the homebuilders with one guest who says they're still a buy here – and more on the outlook for energy as President Trump says the U.S. is “very close” to a nuclear deal with Iran. Also in focus: the road ahead for Novo after its surprise CEO resignation; deal details on this possible Charter-Cox merger; Berkshire's biggest moves according to a new 13F filing; and the big win for wealth taxpayers hidden in the GOP's “big beautiful bill”.

Die Aktie von Charter Communications legt deutlich zu. Das Portfolio und die Transaktionen von Berkshire Hathaway wurde wieder einmal offengelegt laut SEC Regularien und ich werfe einen Blick darauf. Zahlen von Applied Material sorgen genauso für Bewegung wie für das Schmuckunternehmen Richmont, dessen Aktien deutlich zulegen können. Die Märkte bleiben im Aufwind! Nach vier Tagen Rally legen die US-Aktienfutures am Freitag weiter zu – dank vorübergehender Zollpause zwischen den USA und China und schwacher Inflationsdaten. Der S&P 500 ist seit Wochenbeginn um 4,5 % gestiegen, der Nasdaq sogar über 6 % – Tech lässt grüßen! Der Erzeugerpreisindex (PPI) fiel im April um 0,5 %, was den Inflationsdruck weiter entschärft. Auch der Verbraucherpreisindex (CPI) lag mit 2,3 % auf dem niedrigsten Stand seit Februar 2021. Doch nicht alles glänzt: Walmart warnte vor steigenden Preisen durch Zölle ab Ende Mai – erste Risse im Optimismus? Noch ignorieren die Märkte das weitgehend, aber laut Analystin Callie Cox könnten sich darunter „Spannungen aufbauen“. Diesen Freitag läuft ein Optionsvolumen von 2,8 Billionen Dollar aus – das größte jemals im Mai. Das könnte die Wall Street nochmal ordentlich durchschütteln.

In this episode of the Mark and Pete Podcast, we delve into three pivotal developments shaping our world today. First, we explore the historic election of Pope Leo XIV, born Robert Francis Prevost, the first American-born pontiff. His multilingual abilities and commitment to evangelism signal a renewed focus on global outreach and unity within the Catholic Church. Next, we discuss the retirement of Warren Buffett, the legendary “Oracle of Omaha,” who transformed Berkshire Hathaway from a struggling textile company into a financial powerhouse. At 94, Buffett's departure marks the end of an era, prompting reflections on his unique investment philosophy and the future of value investing. Finally, we examine the growing reliance of UK first-time homebuyers on parental financial assistance. According to Savills, over half of these buyers received help from the “Bank of Mum and Dad” in 2024, highlighting challenges in housing affordability and intergenerational wealth dynamics. Join us as we unpack these significant stories, offering insights and perspectives on their broader implications for faith, finance, and family.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/mark-and-pete--1245374/support.

This episode digs into key lessons from Buffett's life and career, exploring practical ways to apply his wisdom to your financial journey. From Humble Beginnings to Monumental Success Warren Buffett's rise didn't begin in a Wall Street boardroom, but in Omaha, Nebraska, where he was born in 1930. From an early age, Buffett showed an affinity for entrepreneurship, selling chewing gum, Coca-Cola, and magazines as a child. His formal education at the University of Nebraska, Wharton Business School, and Columbia University (where he studied under the legendary Benjamin Graham) laid the foundation for his value investing philosophy. Buffett started his first investment partnership in 1956 with $105,100, much of it from family and friends. By the age of 32, he was a millionaire. His acquisition of Berkshire Hathaway, a struggling textile company at the time, became the launchpad for one of the most successful investment conglomerates in history. The Power of Modesty and Discipline Despite amassing unparalleled wealth, Buffett is renowned for his modest lifestyle. He still lives in the house he purchased in 1958 for $31,000 and drives an older model Cadillac, proving that frugality and comfort often go hand in hand. This modesty is more than a quirk; it's a testament to his belief that wealth should serve a purpose beyond personal extravagance. Buffett's philanthropic efforts are equally legendary. Through The Giving Pledge (co-founded with Bill and Melinda Gates), he's committed to donating more than 99% of his fortune. For Buffett, investing is not just about making money, it's about stewarding resources responsibly and generously. Berkshire Hathaway's Long-Term Outperformance Under Buffett's leadership, Berkshire Hathaway's stock has delivered returns averaging 19% annually since 1966, trouncing the S&P 500's historical average of 11%. One share of Berkshire's Class A stock now costs nearly $800,000, a figure that tells the story of sustained outperformance. Buffett has also issued Class B shares at a lower price tag to democratize access for smaller investors, reflecting his desire to make wealth-building accessible. Buffett's Top Investing Lessons 1. Don't Lose Money Buffett's two most famous rules are simple: “Rule number one: don't lose money. Rule number two: don't forget rule number one.” He emphasizes buying quality businesses with durable competitive advantages rather than taking risks on struggling firms with unsustainable dividends. 2. Start Early and Stay the Course In his book The Snowball, Buffett likens investing to rolling a snowball down a long hill: the earlier you start, the bigger the results. Even if you're approaching retirement, encouraging the younger generation to invest early can yield enormous benefits over time. 3. Remaining Committed Through Market Ups and Downs is Equally Vital Buffett urges consistent investing, especially when markets are turbulent. Staying invested and buying during downturns can lead to significant long-term gains. 4. Be Fearful When Others Are Greedy Buffett's contrarian mindset, being “fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful”, has served him well during market panics. While it's emotionally taxing to buy during selloffs, history shows that long-term investors are often rewarded. 5. Buy Great Companies at Fair Prices Rather than chasing bargains, focus on acquiring well-run businesses at reasonable valuations. Many of Buffett's best investments, Apple, Coca-Cola, and American Express, embody this approach. 6. Focus on Buying and Holding Low-cost Index Funds Buffett believes this is the simplest and most effective long-term investment strategy because it provides broad market exposure while keeping fees to a minimum, both of which are important for building wealth over time. 7. Temperament Is Key According to Buffett, success in investing is more about temperament than IQ. The ability to remain rational and stick to your plan, regardless of market noise, is what separates great investors from the rest.

On this week's Stansberry Investor Hour, Dan and Corey welcome Vitaliy Katsenelson back to the show. Vitaliy is the CEO and chief investment officer of Investment Management Associates. He's also an author, award-winning writer, and founder of "The Intellectual Investor" newsletter and podcast. Vitaliy kicks off the show by discussing the difficulty in writing books and how he has evolved as an investor over the years. He explains that through continuous trial and error, he has learned not to dumpster-dive for bad stocks just because they're cheap. He emphasizes the value of good management, knowing your own strengths, and allowing yourself to say no to investments that aren't in your circle of competence. Vitaliy also gives his thoughts on Warren Buffett's retirement and Berkshire Hathaway's stock today. (1:40) Next, Vitaliy shares his experience running portfolios and how his strategy differs from Buffett's. This leads to a conversation about what could happen to Berkshire after Buffett passes and what made Vitaliy decide "I don't want to be like Buffett." He gives his nuanced take on learning from legendary businessmen and other historical figures without agreeing with them on everything. Similarly, the U.S. trading with countries it disagrees with (like Russia) is important. Vitaliy discusses his own experience growing up in the Soviet Union and being "brainwashed" to hate Americans. And he talks more about finding a good work-life balance, no matter your career. (21:19) Then, Vitaliy dives into the psychology behind decision-making and willpower. He quotes one of his favorite sayings as a reminder to investors: "Knowing and not doing is not knowing." After that, Vitaliy shares why he believes Uber Technologies still has a lot of upside today. He notes that the stock isn't cheap, but it is undervalued. And he breaks down his reasoning for wanting to hold the stock long term, including its potential to incorporate Waymo or other self-driving cars on its app. (39:26)

Pablo Martínez Bernal, gran conocedor de la figura de Buffett, como inversor y como empresario, visita Tu Dinero Nunca Duerme. Warren Buffett sigue siendo el mejor inversor del mundo. Pero desde hace unos días, lo es más por su historial que por su labor diaria. Porque el sabio de Omaha anunció que se retiraba, por sorpresa, en la última conferencia anual de inversores de Berkshire Hathaway. Y a partir de ahí se desataron las especulaciones, ¿quiénes serán sus sucesores: en la dirección y en la selección de activos? ¿Seguirán los nuevos responsables de Berkshire manteniendo la línea que hizo famosos a Buffett y a su socio Charlie Munger? Para ayudarnos a responder a estas preguntas, esta semana nos acompaña en Tu Dinero Nunca Duerme el Head of Sales para Iberia de Amiral Gestion, Pablo Martínez Bernal, un gran conocedor de la figura de Buffett, como inversor y como empresario: "Ha sido una gran sorpresa. Todo el mundo daba por hecho que iba a hacer como Charlie Munger, que se iba a morir siendo consejero delegado de la compañía. En esta profesión, las canas cuentan: el acumulado de muchos años de conocimientos son un ayudado. Pero quizás el mismo ha pensado que no quiere ser un problema, sobre todo si aparece un deterioro cognitivo". "El rol por el que siempre ha insistido que le gustaría ser recordado es el de profesor. Ésa es la gran contribución para la comunidad inversora. Fue profesor en la Universidad de Nebraska y ha continuado con esa labor de una u otra forma (por ejemplo, recibiendo a grupos de estudiantes de MBA). A lo largo de estos años, el acumulado implica que ha dado clases a decenas de miles de inversores", nos recuerda Martínez Bernal. ¿Y qué hay detrás de tantos años de éxito? ¿Algún secreto que nadie más conoce?: "No diría que hay un secreto. Warren Buffet, antes de leer el libro El inversor inteligente (de Benjamin Graham), ya invertía, porque empezó a los 11 años. Lo hacía usando los gráficos: es decir, la gente no lo sabe pero era trader. Es curioso cómo una persona que había empezado mal, tira todos los sistemas que le estaban dando dinero, y apuesta por el value investing. Por eso, su secreto consiste en encontrarse con un libro y darse cuenta de que era la filosofía adecuada, que no era sencillo". Eso sí, aunque siga siendo un value de pura cepa, el gran inversor sí ha evolucionado a lo largo de los años: "Buffett no ha cambiado lo fundamental, el value investing, pero sí se ha adaptado. Una de sus claves es que la filosofía ha permanecido intacta, pero el cómo invierta ha cambiado mucho. De los años 50 a 2020, las compañías han cambiado mucho. Ha evolucionado con el paso del tiempo. Munger le dijo en su momento que lo que hacía (comprar empresas de baja calidad) no era escalable. Y a partir de la inversión en See's Candies cambió la forma en la que invertía" Eso sí, nuestro invitado cree que habrá pocos cambios en la nave: "La cultura empresarial de BRK sigue intacta. Estarán Greg Able, que será el nuevo consejero delegado a partir del 1 de enero de 2026; es canadiense que era parte del círculo cercano de Buffett. El rol más importante, el de asignador del capital, lo van a heredar Todd Combs y Ted Weschler".
No, Pascual did not get abducted by a UFO ... but neither did three kids in 1969, we're pretty sure. We have Pascual back to explain how his podcasting sabbatical has turned into a retirement, alas. Then we discuss how fluoride is connected to addiction and crime rates, some alternatives to the CDC for accurate public health information, and the viability of reopening Alcatraz as a prison. Our main topic is a ufo abduction incident that occurred on Labor Day weekend 1969 in Massachusetts ... or perhaps (as Ben suggests) the real "incident" occurred in 2018? Three kids were allegedly taken into alien crafts and examined, then returned, in plain sight of hundreds of people -- at least that's the story if you don't look a little deeper. And you know we will.

Breathe Pictures Photography Podcast: Documentaries and Interviews
Today, an episode where I walk with my guest along the paths of Greenham Common in Berkshire, England. We explore how photography, adventure, and purpose can align to become one path. Photographer Tom Warburton retired early and, rather than settle into a slower pace, decided to walk the length of the River Ganges, over 1,100 kilometres from the glacier source in the Himalayas to its confluence with the Yamuna near Prayagraj. It was a journey fuelled by curiosity, a love of walking, a desire to see life away from the main roads, and to photograph people and culture with care and respect. Tom had long held an interest in photography, but like many, life's other responsibilities often came first. So with time finally on his side, he went in search of something deeper, not just images, but understanding. The result? A slow, human journey through rural villages, pilgrimage sites, nature reserves, and towns where he was often the only outsider for miles. In today's episode, we walk and talk about what it means to truly travel with intention, to go off the beaten path, to connect with strangers, and to find portraits in moments where trust is built, not taken. This is a story of walking for photography, walking for perspective, and walking, quite simply, for the love of the road. As the walk draws to a close, Tom arrives in Prayagraj just as the Maha Kumbh Mela begins, a once-in-144-years gathering of extraordinary scale and spirit. On the biggest days, over 40 million people converge: sadhus, pilgrims, Naga ascetics, all drawn to the sacred waters where the Ganges and Yamuna meet. And there's Tom, camera in hand, somehow slipping through the crowds and into the press areas, ready to capture it all. Links to all guests and features will be on the show page, my sincere thanks to Arthelper, who sponsor this show, plus our Extra Milers, without whom we wouldn't be walking each week.
