Softbank is the ‘Berkshire Hathaway of tech’ despite WeWork debacle, Bernstein says

Masayoshi Son’s growth-at-all-costs stands in stark contrast to Warren Buffett’s investment style, marked by ruthless value hunting and the strictest assessment of a balance sheet.
The Bernstein analysts noted that some may balk at a comparison between SoftBank and Berkshire Hathaway and sought to justify their reasoning.
“Berkshire leverages the cash from its insurance business to invest into other companies” while Softbank “uses the cash flow from its core telco operation to invest in tech unicorns,” the analysts say.

Investors are ‘scared to death’ of the bull market ending, top strategist says

“Secular bull markets tend to run 15 to 20 years. They’re not interrupted by 20% to 30% declines,” said Saut on CNBC’s “Trading Nation” on Friday. “The 1949-1966 secular bull market had a 30% decline when you had the Jack Kennedy steel crisis in 1962. The 1982-2000 secular bull market had the 1987 crash, but the bull market went on for another 13 years, so I think we’ve got years left on the upside.”

Borneo for New Indonesia Capital

Indonesia will build a new capital city on the island of Borneo, home to some of the world’s biggest coal reserves and orangutan habitats, as President Joko Widodo seeks to ease pressure on congested and sinking Jakarta.

The new administrative headquarters will be located between North Penajam Paser and Kutai Kartanegara in East Kalimantan, Jokowi, as the president is commonly known, told reporters in Jakarta on Monday. The relocation of the capital, some 1,400 kilometers away from Jakarta, will help spread economic activity outside the nation’s most-populous island of Java, the president said.
