February 7th - US President Trump tweeted: "We need more competition to fight our enemies—the national television networks that spread fake news. Facilitating a good deal like Nexstar-Tegna will help combat fake news because it will bring more, higher-level, and more sophisticated competition. Those who oppose it dont fully understand the benefits for them, but they will in the future. Get this deal done!"February 7th - Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy posted a message on the 7th local time, stating that he received a briefing from the Ukrainian negotiating team following their talks with the US and Russia. The Ukrainian negotiating team provided him with a detailed overview of the progress of the negotiations. He stated that Ukraine needs to achieve substantial results, and one of the most important foundations for a peaceful resolution is effective security guarantees.February 7th - While the control dispute at Nexperia remains unresolved, another Chinese acquisition of a British chip company is attracting increasing attention. February 7th was the deadline set by the UK government for the mandatory sale of the FTDI acquisition, subject to national security review. This overseas acquisition by China, completed in 2021, is now entering its final countdown to mandatory sale. Back in November 2024, the UK government formally notified the Chinese consortium that it must transfer all its shares in Future Technology Devices International Limited (FTDI), a UK USB bridge chip company, by the stipulated time. The UK cited the National Security and Investments Act (NSIA), which came into effect in 2022, citing "potential threats to national security." An industry insider stated that the Chinese consortium has been trying to secure more time. The latest extension application is still awaiting a response from the UK, and based on past experience, there is still a certain probability of the extension being approved.February 7th - It was learned from the Ministry of Water Resources that, in order to further improve the construction, operation, and management mechanisms of major water conservancy projects, the Ministry of Water Resources and the National Development and Reform Commission recently issued the "Implementation Opinions on Improving the Construction, Operation, and Management Mechanisms of Major Water Conservancy Projects." Major water conservancy projects are important infrastructure for promoting high-quality economic and social development, playing a crucial supporting role in ensuring flood control, water supply, food security, and ecological security. The opinions are divided into four parts: general requirements, improving the high-quality construction mechanism, improving the high-level operation mechanism, and improving the high-efficiency management mechanism. The opinions require that, focusing on the national water network construction goals of "complete systems, safety and reliability, intensive and efficient, green and intelligent, smooth circulation, and orderly regulation," the government should guide and the market should participate, coordinating "hard investment" and "soft construction," improving the construction and operation mechanism of projects with clear responsibilities, diversified investment, and a focus on both quality and efficiency, and forming a comprehensive, data-driven, and efficient management and guarantee system to achieve high-quality construction, high-level operation, and high-efficiency management of major water conservancy projects.Algeria plans to cancel its air services agreement with the United Arab Emirates.

Berkshire Hathaway Discloses A Stake in HP; Shares Soar Almost 10%

HP shares increased 9.9 percent to $38.38 in after-hours trading on Berkshire's disclosure of the interest in SEC filings.


HP, headquartered in Palo Alto, California, has about 1.06 billion outstanding shares as of Jan. 31.


HP and Berkshire Hathaway did not immediately reply to calls for comment.


HP is Berkshire's third significant investment since Feb. 26, when Buffett said in his annual shareholders letter that "internal prospects provide far higher returns than acquisitions" and that stock markets "excite us little."


Berkshire agreed to acquire insurance business Alleghany (NYSE:Y) Corp for $11.6 billion in cash on March 21, bolstering its portfolio of insurers, which already includes Geico.


Berkshire previously disclosed a 14.6 percent position in Occidental Petroleum Corp (NYSE:OXY), a holding that cost well over $6 billion to acquire.


Buffett had gone six years without making a significant acquisition, leaving Berkshire with $146.7 billion in cash and equivalents. Buffett has vowed to maintain a cash reserve of at least $30 billion.


Berkshire did not specify whether the HP share is owned by Buffett or his portfolio managers Todd Combs and Ted Weschler, despite the fact that Buffett typically manages bigger assets.


Buffett is primarily responsible for Berkshire Hathaway's position in Apple Inc (NASDAQ:AAPL), which he refers to as one of the "Big Four" firms that account for the majority of the value of his Omaha, Nebraska-based conglomerate.


Berkshire's insurers, the BNSF railroad, and Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRKa) Energy round up the "Big Four."
