Munger steps down as Daily Journal chairman |
After 45 years, Charlie Munger has decided to "relinquish" his chairman title at Daily Journal. A filing by the company says Munger, who is 98 years old, will remain on its board of directors, and "as such will continue to pay particular attention to matters with which he has been involved in the past, including the company's securities portfolio." Munger recently generated some headlines when Daily Journal bought around $45 million of stock in Alibaba, the Chinese online retailer. Munger is also donating $1 million of his own Daily Journal stock to create a new equity incentive plan at the company. In a news release, he's quoted as saying the gift reflects "the confidence I have in the existing team" and new Chairman and CEO Steven Myhill-Jones. |

Munger has been holding Q&A sessions at the company's annual meetings, similar to what he and Warren Buffett do at Berkshire Hathaway's annual meetings. "It wasn't immediately clear whether those will continue," Reuters reports. At the meeting in February, Munger said, "it's going to be way harder for the group that's graduated from college now ... to get rich and stay rich," and compared cryptocurrencies to "some venereal disease." Daily Journal publishes newspapers and web sites covering legal news in California and Arizona, and also provides software to courthouses, |
Berkshire thrashes Tesla in Q1, but that's not the surprise |
Berkshire is a value stock, it notes, and value stocks did much better than growth stocks like Tesla in the quarter. But Tesla is the only trillion-dollar company that managed even a small gain in the first three months of the year. Alphabet, Amazon.com, Microsoft, and Apple all fell between 2% and 8%. Barron's thinks Tesla's January announcement that fourth quarter deliveries were stronger than expected may be responsible for lifting it into positive territory in the first quarter. |
