Warren Buffett identifies the 'best way' to address income inequality

Legendary investor Warren Buffett, the third richest person in the world, argues in a new interview that the best way to address income inequality is through the Earned Income Tax Credit. "[I] think the Earned Income Tax Credit is the best way to put money in the pockets of people that don't fit well under the market system, but that are perfectly decent citizens," Buffett, the CEO of Berkshire Hathaway (BRK-A, BRK-B), said in a wide-ranging interview with Yahoo Finance's editor-in-chief, Andy Serwer. The Earned Income Tax Credit is a refundable tax credit that goes to millions of low- to moderate-income workers, particularly parents, to supplement their earnings.

Teenager sues Apple for $1bn after facial recognition led to false arrest

An 18-year-old from New York has filed a $1 billion lawsuit against Apple over a false arrest he says happened because of Apple's face recognition system. NYPD officers arrested Ousmane Bah on November 29th after he was falsely linked to a series of Apple Store thefts in Boston, New Jersey, Delaware and Manhattan. A detective that eventually examined Apple's surveillance footage after the arrest determined that the real Bah didn't look anything like the thief.

This Is Why Canopy Growth Is the Best Pot Stock

Ever since the cannabis craze hit Wall Street back in mid-2018, I've been pounding on the table saying that the best marijuana stock to buy in the group is Canopy Growth (NYSE:CGC). As such, I have consistently reasoned that CGC stock belongs in every cannabis-related portfolio. Canopy struck a deal with major U.S. cannabis operator Acreage to buy that company for $3.4 billion once cannabis is legalized nationwide in the U.S.

Precious Metals Give Traders Another Opportunity

This research suggested, back in October 2018, that gold would rally above $1300, then stall and setup a momentum base near April 21~24, 2019.  Currently, we are actively seeking entry positions in Gold, Silver and many other stock market sectors related to the metals and miners. Taking a look at historical price moves for both Gold and Silver, we fall back to the big upward price advance that began after the 2009 market crash.  One thing that all traders and investors must understand is that, currently, Silver presents an incredible opportunity for bigger returns than Gold.  Yes, Gold will likely rally higher and provide an incredible opportunity for upside gains.  Yet, historically, Silver begins to move a bit later than Gold does and the upside potential of Silver tends to be 40~70% greater than the upside potential for Gold.

AT&T and Sprint settle lawsuit over faux 5G branding

To say AT&T's rivals were unhappy with its fake 5G branding is an understatement -- Sprint even filed a lawsuit against the carrier, accusing it of "blatantly misleading customers." The competitors must have hammered out a deal that's acceptable for both of them, though, because they've reached an amicable settlement a couple of months after the case was filed. Sprint's lawsuit sought an injunction to prevent AT&T from using 5GE tags on its devices and advertising -- AT&T phones in areas with upgraded 4G or 5G Evolution coverage show 5GE when their data connections are switched on. According to Dallas Business Journal, though, the carrier will still be able to continue its 5G Evolution advertising and marketing campaigns.

Strong stock and bond markets at odds over global growth

It looks like something has to give in global markets. Stocks and bonds around the world have rallied atypically together since the start of the year, rewarding investors both bullish and bearish on the direction of global growth. The main catalyst for the gains was the Federal Reserve's surprise decision in early January to pause its tightening policy, after four interest rate increases in 2018 raised fears it was being too aggressive as the economy cooled and inflation remained minimal.

7 Big Oil Targets That May Go Next After Chevron-Anadarko

Kraft Heinz's new CEO looks beyond cost-cutting, big M&A

Kraft Heinz Co's incoming chief executive, Miguel Patricio, is indicating a change in strategy for the packaged food company that could move it away from the aggressive cost-focused culture that has been in place since the company was created in 2015. Patricio, a 52-year-old Portuguese native who will take over the helm of the world's fifth biggest food company from July 1, said he plans to focus more on efficiency, investing in brands and growing sales organically at a company that has been reeling from a $15.4 billion writedown on some of its brands. Kraft Heinz's focus on cost-cutting and interest in scoring a big acquisition have been key to the company's strategy under management installed by Brazilian private equity firm 3G Capital.

Retire early: Can ordinary Americans find financial independence and stop work by 50?

Dogen started his FIRE journey with a $40,000 salary in 1999 in Manhattan and was pulling in more than $300,000 – with his wife – when he reached financial independence 13 years later. Leif Dahleen, the author of the blog Physician on FIRE and an anesthesiologist by trade, was making about $400,000 when he realized he could retire early, but he's keenly aware that accomplishing FIRE is a lot harder for those making the median income of $62,000. After taxes, they have a $50,000 budget.
