Or as Buffett himself refers to it: “…the engine that has propelled our growth since 1967.” I’m of course talking about insurance. In each shareholder letter, Buffett spends a lot of time explaining his insurance business, and why it has “been of great importance to Berkshire.” Namely, he talks about “float,” or money that belongs to others but is held by the insurer. While this float is held by the insurer, it can be invested — and any dividends, interest, and gains from those investments belong to the insurer. #-ad_banner-#Buffett first entered the insurance business in early 1967… Read More

The carnage continues in the cryptocurrency markets. The three leading horses remain the same despite plunging prices. Bitcoin dipped below $6,000 per coin prior to finding a bottom and bouncing back above the psychologically critical $6,000 level. At the same time, blockchain backbone name ethereum collapsed into the low $300 range with price appearing to be building a base near the lows.

A study commissioned by mutual fund manager Vanguard, the 9-million-pound gorilla of low-cost investing, determined that investors who used a financial advisor typically outperformed their DIY peers by about 3% over a seven-year period. #-ad_banner-#Is this a gigantic margin?
