By Katherine Chiglinsky Warren Buffett kicked his stock-buyback program into high gear, spending $2.2 billion on repurchases in the last three months of 2019, the most ever in a single quarter -- and he's looking to buy even more. Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Inc., which loosened its repurchase policy almost two years ago after being stymied on the dealmaking front, has since taken a cautious approach to buybacks, acquiring only $6.3 billion of stock. In the fourth quarter, Buffett bought shares every month, and has no plans to slow down, if the price is right.

"We request that you phone Mark between 8:00-8:30 a.m. or 3:00-3:30 p.m. Central Time, calling only if you are ready to sell." Even as Buffett ramped up his repurchases, Berkshire's massive … [Read more...] about Warren Buffett spends record $2.2 billion buying Berkshire shares

You could have weak opposition parties but the opposition is never weak: Prashant Kishor
In three recent hotly contested elections, campaign strategist Prashant Kishor has found himself on the victorious side. In Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra and Delhi, Kishor and his organisation Indian Political Action Committee worked for YSR Congress, Shiv Sena and Aam Aadmi Party, respectively. Not long after the results in Delhi, he has emerged in Patna, launching a campaign that many believe might lead to his own entry into electoral politics. Once a backroom aide who obsessed over his privacy, Kishor is getting used to being recognised in public. As he walked into the lobby of Delhi’s Taj Mansingh hotel for an interview with ET Magazine, a young man walked up, requesting a selfie. Kishor sat down with Sruthijith KK and Prerna Katiyar for a wide-ranging chat. Edited excerpts: What worked for the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and what went wrong for the BJP in Delhi? To my mind, governments that deliver tangible benefits at the household level have an advantage in elections. We … [Read more...] about You could have weak opposition parties but the opposition is never weak: Prashant Kishor
