My daughter has underlying issues that put her in a higher risk category. But thanks for your advice, Karen.
Hey @beckyquick, @cdcgov says the risk your children will die from #Covid is 1 in 1,000,000. If that’s too high a risk for you, then you should never put them in a car. Or let them outside, period.
Enough with pretending reopening schools is some terrible complicated choice.

This is really stupid advice.
OPINION: In theory there's nothing wrong with borrowing a modest amount to buy more stocks, as we do to buy our homes. But make sure you can ride out the volatility. trib.al/8rbJIOa

BREAKING: Warren Buffett says his views on the airlines has changed because of COVID-19. “I don’t know that 3-4 years from now people will fly as many passenger miles as they did last year .... you’ve got too many planes.”

No you didn't. What are you smoking?
I just heard #CNBC anchor @BeckyQuick describe the current U.S. economy as experiencing an economic boom. It's one thing to deny that the U.S. economy is in #recession, despite two quarters of negative #GDP, but it's a whole new level of delusion to claim it's enjoying a boom.

Can’t. We have four kids at home, including a 3-year-old who will demand to be in my lap if she knows I am home. I am hiding in a back bedroom for the show every morning, stuffing towels under the door so she doesn’t hear my voice.

Kudos to Stop&Shop. They’ll be opening all their stores from 6:00 to 7:30 am only to people age 60 and up starting Thursday, to allow them to shop in a less crowded environment. Wonderful way to care for those who are more vulnerable.

Actually @ScottGottliebMD deserves all the praise. He’s gotten up early with us almost every day for more than four months, taken our every question & curiosity on COVID. He’s calm, rational and incredibly knowledgeable on the science & public policy. Huge thanks to him. 🙏
@BeckyQuick your interviews with @ScottGottliebMD throughout the crisis have been fantastic: fact-based, no shouting; so rare these days. You and your colleagues have done a great service and deserve our thanks.

Oh get over yourself you Grinch. I celebrate Christmas. But why would I assume everyone else does as well?
I say Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year when I don't know what someone else celebrates.

Apple CEO Time Cook tells me he spoke with Warren Buffett yesterday about the sale of about 15m shares of $AAPL that was revealed in this morning’s 10Q by $BRK. Apple is still Berkshire’s largest holding, by far. “It’s a privilege to have them as a shareholder,” Cook tells me. #BRK2024

Don’t be so cursory or quick to judge. Curio is loaded with Legos my son built, including a replica of the Vegas Strip, in honor of its reopening.
Rest of the house is for the kids, so you get what get. Stay for the content, not the decor.

NEW: Berkshire Hathaway board unanimously votes to name Greg Abel President and CEO as of Jan. 1, 2026, and for Warren Buffett to remain as Chairman. Release expected before opening bell. (Buffett announced this would be his recommendation over the weekend, but it wasn’t clear if he’d remain as Chairman. He will still be going to the office every day.)

No one's preventing me from doing anything. I'm seeking advice from one the best possible sources about how to make decisions involving immunocompromised people in my family, just like millions of other people are right now. Step off, you heartless Grinch.
Hearing @BeckyQuick on @SquawkCNBC this AM asking @ScottGottliebMD for permission to gather during Christmas was nauseating. Hey Becky, you’re triple vaxed, live your life, you don’t have to ask permission from anyone to gather with your family during Christmas or any other time.

I think I have a problem.
Lying in bed doing the Quordle. Hear what I think is rain. Instead of peeking through the blinds to confirm I open the weather app.
Instead of telling someone in my house, I open Twitter to confess.

Buffett on selling Apple shares: “I don’t mind at all (given current the current economic environment) building our cash position.”
$BRK already had $182b in cash at end of Q1, and Buffett estimates it will be ~$200b soon. 😳

No I didn’t.
CNBC anchor @BeckyQuick asked an IMF Managing Director if central banks should proceed with easing monetary policy and cutting interest rates now that the #inflation problem has been solved. In other words, does victory over inflation mean central banks can now create more of it?

Study out of Germany just showed wearing masks cuts transmission of COVID-19 by 40%.
But I’d hate to inconvenience you.
I love tweets like this. It’s funny to watch the rest of the country crap themselves over a stupid mask that does nothing unless someone is coughing or sneezing. I’m waiting for the results of my test too. IT WAS MANDATED BY MY EMPLOYER.

If you work for company with a 401k matching program, try to max it out. It’s free money you miss out on otherwise. It’s hard to do when you start out & don’t have much disposable income, but it really adds up over time. Chart breaking down sources from an old 401k of mine.

Just fine. I don’t invest money that I need to survive. Relax people.
Not saying this is a bottom. But you shouldn’t money in the market that you need to spend anytime in the next couple of years. That’s gambling, not investing.
