Berkshire Profit Slips 3.8% on Insurance, Derivatives

Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (BRK/A) said first-quarter profit fell 3.8 percent on reduced earnings from Chairman Warren Buffett’s derivatives wagers and underwriting at insurance businesses. Net income slipped to $4.71 billion, or $2,862 a share, from $4.89 billion, or $2,977, a year earlier, the Omaha, Nebraska-based company said today in a statement. Operating earnings, which exclude some investment results, were $2,149 a share, missing the $2,171 averageestimate of three analysts surveyed by Bloomberg. Buffett has been shifting the company toward businesses like energy and railroads that provide opportunities for billions of dollars in capital spending and relatively stable returns tied to the growth of the U.S. economy. Results can be more volatile on Buffett’s financial-market bets and in reinsurance, in which the company takes on risks from other insurers in the U.S. and beyond. “When you get a substantial portion of your earnings fro...

With Series-Winning Shot, Damian Lillard Leaves No Doubt He's a Killer

Image
PORTLAND, Ore. — A long time ago, when Michael Jordan wasn't finished with his final comeback yet, Kobe Bryant sat in the Rose Garden in Portland and said, "There are only two killers in this league." Jordan's 51 now, a fat cat on the sidelines owning a team. Bryant hasn't made a playoff appearance in two years. The show must go on, and it has—as seen by the most competitive first round in NBApostseason history. But even better than good shows are great show-stoppers. And we just saw 23-year-old Damian  Lillard  drive a  freakin ' stake through the first NBA playoff series he ever played. The Rose Garden has been renamed the  Moda  Center here in Portland, and this city hadn't seen its one big-time team win a playoff series since  before  Jordan went to the Washington Wizards. That changed Friday night, when the Trail Blazers' second-year guard accepted the inbounds pass with 0.9 ...

Seven Facts About Cinco de Mayo

Cinco de Mayo (May fifth) is an important Mexican holiday celebrated in Mexico, the United States and around the world. To many people, it’s simply an excuse to have some nachos and a margarita or two: it is sometimes referred to as “Mexican St. Patrick’s Day.” There is much more to this holiday than guacamole, however! Cinco de Mayo is an important day in the history of Mexico, and the holiday has true meaning and importance to those who understand what it’s all about. Here are seven basic facts about Cinco de Mayo. It is NOT Mexico’s Independence Day: That's a common misconception. Mexico celebrates its independence day on September 16, the date in 1810 Father Miguel Hidalgo issued his "Grito de Dolores," or famous call to arms to overthrow the Spanish. It celebrates a most unlikely victory: In May of 1862, a powerful French army was in Mexico, fighting its way to Mexico City, where they hoped to force the Mexican government to honor s...

Ann Coulter’s

Whether you like her politics or not, Ann Coulter is a smart woman. So we’re surprised she didn’t see this train coming down the tracks. She and her fellow conservatives have been on a roll the past few days mocking the #BringBackOurGirls social media campaign launched to call attention to 300 kidnapped Nigerian girls. First Lady Michelle Obama became the face of the campaign when she posed with a small white sign with the hashtag written on it. On Sunday night, Coulter posted a Twitter photo of herself holding a sign, too. But hers read: “#Bring Back Our Country.” “My hashtag contribution to world affairs,” she wrote. And then, of course, the mocking of Ann Coulter began. People began retweeting images of her holding that sign, but not before they had Photoshopped rude and mean messages onto it. “#Bring Back My Soul” “Please Pay Attention to Me” “Bring Back Doritos 3D” “Bring Back Traditional White America” “I’m on Christian Mingle! User Name: RWNJ1958” “Micha...
