Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 13:18:52 GMT

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Warren Buffett’s company sold off 5.5 million of its HP Inc. shares this week, trimming a stake that it established just last year, but even after the sales, Berkshire Hathaway still owns nearly 12% of the printer and computer maker’s stock.HP stock dropped nearly 2% to sell for $27.80 Thursday in the first trading session after the stock sales were disclosed in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.Many investors follow Buffett’s moves closely because of his remarkably successful track record over the years.Even after this week’s sales, Berkshire still holds more than 115 million HP shares. But it likely won’t be clear for some time whether Buffett is just trimming the position or whether he has soured on the stock. The billionaire investor never comments on these transactions that he’s only required to disclose because Berkshire owns such a big chunk of the company.The HP investment raised some eyebrows last spr...

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 13:18:52 GMT

LOS ANGELES (AP) — If Sean “Diddy” Combs had a choice, the self-proclaimed serial entrepreneur would be hunkered down in a recording studio rather than running his many successful businesses.But for more than a decade, Diddy put creating albums on hold. He credits a late-night dream a couple years ago with waking him up from his musical slumber.“I stepped away for a little bit, went through a lot of things in life, and then got that call one day from God. She was like, ‘It’s time,’” he recalled in a recent interview. The three-time Grammy winner said the soft voice he heard instantly motivated him to refocus his attention back to making his own music again.On Friday, Diddy will release his new album called “The Love Album – Off the Grid.” His fifth studio project features nearly 30 guests including Mary J. Blige, Justin Bieber, H.E.R., Babyface, John Legend, Busta Rhymes, Summer Walker, Teyana Taylor, Coco Jones and Jazmine Sullivan. The album’s lead single “Anothe...

Hurricane Lee lashing Bermuda before striking coastal New England and Atlantic Canada

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 13:18:52 GMT

(CNN) — Hurricane Lee was unleashing strong winds on Bermuda Thursday, ahead of a track which will bring heavy rain, wind and coastal flooding from the massive storm to coastal New England and Atlantic Canada Friday and through the weekend.After days of uncertainty, there’s little time left for Lee’s track to change considerably, and confidence has grown now that the hurricane has completed its long-awaited northward turn and begun to pick up its pace.Lee is expected to track far enough away from the East Coast to avoid delivering a substantial blow to a more widespread and inland area of New England, but will still affect the coast ahead of a weekend landfall somewhere between northeast Maine and the Canadian province of Nova Scotia.Lee was about 230 miles west-southwest of Bermuda as of Thursday afternoon and was churning with maximum sustained winds of 85 mph – a Category 1 hurricane – according to the National Hurricane Center.
