A 95-year-old Berkshire Hathaway&nbsp;Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) believer just revealed how a million-dollar bet in 1986 helped him net a 29390% increase in value since.
What Happened: In a clip featuring luxury-brokerage CEO Ryan Serhant, the retiree says he snapped up Berkshire Hathaway shares for roughly $2,000 a share for a total of $1.2 million in 1986.

The Math: Although an over-the-counter stock at the time, public price records show Warren Buffett's flagship stock opened that year at $2,470.
Fast-forward to today, each BRK A share changes hands at $788,799, as per its closing price on Wednesday. Multiply that by approximately 485.82 shares that the $1.2 million outlay would fetch, and the stake now sits at above $383.2 million, a 32280% leap.

Even by Buffett&#8217;s standards, the haul is eye-popping. Berkshire's book value compounded around 20 percent annually in the 1980s; the Snowball has since rolled through tech booms, dot-com busts, and three recessions. For long-haul investors, the lesson is plain-spoken Buffett lore: buy quality, sit tight, and let time do the heavy lifting.
Serhant, who built a media brand on blockbuster Manhattan listings, posted the exchange to show patience in wealth-building, while also engaging the nerds with some quick math. For his nonagenarian interviewee, that patience turned a starter sum into almost half a billion dollars.

A climate activist connected with Extinction Rebellion was arrested inside Trump Tower in Manhattan on Wednesday after disfiguring a presidential seal in a protest drawing attention to government inaction on climate change.
What Happened: Clad in a shirt that said "Join, or Die," the protester spray-painted "USA" across a presidential plaque in the Trump Tower lobby, and then knelt in front of it. He was then arrested by Secret Service agents in the presence of onlookers, many of whom filmed the incident. 
The protester was identified as a 36-year-old Nathaniel Smith of Brooklyn. He has been charged with third-degree criminal tampering and possession of graffiti tools.
After his arrest, Smith issued a <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/protestor-breaks-silence-after-trump-tower-demonstration-arrest-2063225">statement</a> to Newsweek, which said: "I did this because I am an American. It is my duty to stand up for my country, and my Earth, when a government becomes destructive of our right to life." As he was escorted away by agents, he shouted, "They are ruining the planet for profit."
Earlier this week, reports emerged claiming that the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44882365/trumps-energy-department-mulls-cutting-billions-in-clean-energy-funds-threatening-exxon-occidental-projects">U.S. Energy Department is reportedly considering major cuts</a> that could halt almost $10 billion in federal funding for clean-energy projects.

He Believes Tesla Is Central To The Solution</a>
Why It Matters: This protest is part of a larger Earth Day campaign launched by Extinction Rebellion, which held agitations at the Wall Street Charging Bull and a Tesla Inc. showroom the previous day. 
Known for its disruptive civil disobedience tactics, the activist group said the message on Smith's t-shirt was "a call to resist a government marked by chaos and cruelty, and to begin building alternative structures capable of repairing the damage."
In his statement, Smith was critical of both major political parties, saying, "All American political parties are equally complicit in inaction, which has brought us to this point. Switching to blue is not the solve. [Former Vice President] Kamala Harris' climate platform was fracked gas, much deadlier than regular."
This protest took place on the same day that President Donald Trump's Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent backed fossil fuel development in emerging economies, labelling renewables-only strategies as impractical for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44971113/scott-bessent-backs-fossil-fuels-for-developing-nations-treasury-secretary-slams-renewables-only-push-as-luxury-belief-amid-trumps-drill-baby-drill-agen">nations still dealing with basic economic needs</a>.

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) has revealed that the company is running its autonomous ride-hailing service in Austin, as well as the San Francisco Bay Area.
What Happened: In a post on social media platform X on Wednesday, the company shared a video showcasing the Supervised FSD ride-hailing service. Tesla says it has completed over 1,500 trips and covered a distance of 15,000 miles.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>

The video showcased what the service experience could potentially look like as it revealed a few details about the app design and interface as well. Tesla says this limited rollout, restricted just for a set of employees, will help the company further develop its FSD tech.
"This service helps us develop &amp; validate FSD networks, the mobile app, vehicle allocation, mission control &amp; remote assistance operations," Tesla said in the post.
Why It Matters: The reveal comes in as CEO Elon Musk had recently shared in the Q1 earnings call that Tesla would roll out its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/04/44943387/elon-musk-shares-fsd-update-at-tesla-earnings-call-10-to-20-model-ys-will-offer-paid-robotaxi-rides-in-june">robotaxi services in June</a>. Musk's comments came as he had earlier predicted Tesla cars would be able to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44834045/tesla-touts-fsd-capabilities-elon-says-predicts-cars-will-soon-drive-itself-right-to-your-house">drive themselves to people's houses</a> straight from the factory.&nbsp;
While Tesla's FSD tech <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44349240/googles-waymo-leads-robotaxi-race-with-2-millon-paid-rides-zoox-challenges-tesla-for-second-spot-as-unsupervised-autonomy-becomes-table-stakes-says-gary-black">still lags behind</a> the likes of Alphabet Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Waymo, Musk's optimism has boosted investor confidence as Tesla shares experienced a 5% surge on Tuesday following the earnings call.
It's worth noting that the company experienced a 71% year-over-year plunge in profits in Q1 2025, leading to a decline in investor confidence and criticism of Musk's involvement in politics.
However, analysts have since hailed Musk's move to scale back on his DOGE commitments and focus on Tesla, which has led to experts like Dan Ives <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44945402/wedbushs-dan-ives-raises-teslas-price-target-to-350-as-musk-promises-to-significantly-reduce-doge-time">setting a high price target </a>for Tesla shares.

The Securities and Exchange Commission met with officials from El Salvador&#8217;s&nbsp;National Commission on Digital Assets&nbsp;on Tuesday to collaborate on cryptocurrency regulation across borders.
What Happened: According to a memo dated April 22, representatives from&nbsp;Perkin Law Firm, LLC, and Heather Shemilt, a retired Goldman Sachs partner, also attended the meeting, the focal point of which was to discuss a proposed cross-border regulatory sandbox.
As part of a pilot program, a U.S.-licensed broker will get a digital asset license to operate in El Salvador to conduct a small-scale real estate tokenization trial in collaboration with a local company. The other scenario includes a small company raising up to $10,000 through tokenized shares in partnership with a U.S.-licensed broker.
The initiative sought to compare El Salvador&#8217;s &#8220;streamlined&#8221; approach to U.S. frameworks and identify efficiencies and gaps.

SEC Zooms In On Nayib Bukele-Led El Salvador's Crypto Regulation Model

With the ongoing shifts in the markets, the U.S.&#8217;s reliance on foreign capital is reversing, leading to lower asset prices. However, its unique position as the issuer of the world&#8217;s reserve currency provides a significant advantage in navigating this shift, according to an expert.
What Happened: In a recent thread on X, Bob Elliot, co-founder, CEO, and CIO of Unlimited and former investment committee member of Bridgewater Associates, argued that, unlike typical emerging market balance of payments crises, the U.S. can prioritize domestic economic conditions due to its debt being <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44895384/dollar-slips-to-a-three-year-low-below-98-mark-higher-rates-are-not-supporting-the-dollar-says-expert">denominated in U.S. dollars</a>.
A balance of payments crisis in an emerging market can often trigger aggressive rate hikes to retain foreign capital, curb consumption, and limit currency depreciation needed to service foreign-currency debt, typically crushing local assets.
However, Elliot argues that the U.S. situation differs fundamentally despite sharing the characteristic of high reliance on foreign capital. Since U.S. debt is not issued in a foreign currency but in its own, &#8220;U.S. policymakers are in the privileged position to prioritize domestic conditions through the adjustment process,&#8221; said Elliot.
While concerns exist about foreign selling pushing rates higher, as seen in an emerging market crisis, the Fed&#8217;s ability to prioritize domestic conditions in the U.S. means it can ease monetary policy even as capital withdraws.
If needed, &#8220;the Fed can always print money and buy the bonds,&#8221; particularly to offset potential deflationary pressures from a weakening economy, said Elliot.
He explains that, unlike typical BoP crises, the Fed&#8217;s focus on domestic conditions, enabled by a weaker dollar and easing interest rates, can limit equity losses from reduced demand.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter">

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">But unlike more traditional BoP crises, the US policymakers are in the privileged position to prioritize domestic conditions through the adjustment process. The result is a weaker currency but stronger bond and equity performance than in typical adjustments of the past.

Why It Matters: According to Elliot, the selloff in U.S. assets is a consequence of the government&#8217;s efforts to reduce consumption through tariff policies and a subsequent narrowing of the current account deficit.
The decades-long buildup in foreign capital inflows since the 1990s, Elliot highlighted, was initially driven by reserve purchases and later by increased equity investments following the Global Financial Crisis. Also, foreign private investors funded substantial federal government deficits in recent years.
&#8220;Never would a country be allowed to run such a classic &#8216;twin deficit&#8217; problem for so long,&#8221; Elliot stated, emphasizing the unprecedented nature of this forty-year dynamic, made possible by the dollar&#8217;s reserve currency status.
Thus, he argues that the dollar&#8217;s reserve status can help policymakers make &#8220;adjustments&#8221; without creating a typical balance of payments crisis.
Price Action: As of the publication of this article, the Dollar Index Spot was trading 0.16% lower at the 99.6890 level, and the futures of the Dow Jones, S&amp;P 500, and Nasdaq 100 indices were down 0.49%,0.31%, and 0.39%, respectively.

"In our preview last week, we predicted that (at best) Q1 would be a non-event. With the stock trading up slightly in the after-hours session, it appears our best-case scenario has materialized," the investment bank said.
Piper Sandler also maintained that Tesla didn't ‘hedge expectations' by announcing plans for launching the robotaxis, as well as more affordable models. Referring to the robotaxi launch in June, the statement then mentioned how there were some "interesting catalysts" for the investors ahead.&nbsp;
However, the investment bank did mention that it would largely depend on how Tesla's product launches, like the robotaxi and affordable models, materialize. "We reiterate our $400 price target,&#8221; Piper Sandler said.
Why It Matters: Piper Sandler isn't the only one optimistic about Tesla, with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44945402/wedbushs-dan-ives-raises-teslas-price-target-to-350-as-musk-promises-to-significantly-reduce-doge-time">Wedbush Investment's Dan Ives </a>also setting a price target of $350 on Tesla stock.
The analysts' optimism stems from Elon Musk reiterating his commitment to the EV giant as the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44940401/elon-musk-says-hell-only-spend-day-or-two-per-week-on-government-matters-to-ensure-fraud-does-not-come-roaring-back-ceos-focus-to-shift-to-tesla-beginning-may">billionaire will scale back </a>on his DOGE duties with the Trump administration.
The company also announced it will <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44942792/tesla-q1-earnings-call-company-says-more-affordable-models-launching-this-year">release an affordable model</a>, which will be based on Tesla's current line-up of vehicles like the Model S, Model Y, Model X, Model 3, and the Cybertruck.
However, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44941889/teslas-sweet-little-lies-hide-worst-performance-ever-elon-musks-robot-takeover-talk-is-just-a-smokescreen-says-ross-gerber">analysts like Ross Gerber </a>aren't as optimistic about Tesla. Following the earnings call, the TSLA bull shared his thoughts on the social media platform X, calling it the "worst performance in Tesla's history."

Banning Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) chips won&#8217;t stop China&#8217;s artificial intelligence development, according to Bernstein analysts, who suggest the export restrictions could instead strengthen domestic competitors like Huawei Technologies.
What Happened: &#8220;Banning the H20 would make no sense as its performance is already well below Chinese alternatives; a ban would simply hand the Chinese AI market completely over to Huawei,&#8221; Bernstein analysts wrote Wednesday, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/nvidia-chip-export-bans-unlikely-hinder-china-ai-growth-2025-4">reported</a> Business Insider.
The President Donald Trump administration is expected to require licenses for exporting powerful AI semiconductors to China, effectively creating an export ban, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44835247/nvidias-reported-failure-to-inform-chinese-clients-on-new-chip-restrictions-could-give-huawei-a-strategic-edge?utm_source=chatgpt.com">Nvidia disclosed in a regulatory filing last week</a>. 
The company <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44830406/nvidia-to-take-55-billion-hit-over-china-chip-export-restrictions-but-top-analyst-dan-ives-says-hes-not-overly-concerned-all-part-of-the-high-game-of-poker">anticipates a $5.5 billion charge</a> related to inventory and purchase commitments for its H20 chip in the first quarter ending April 27.
Chinese companies have been reducing dependence on Nvidia by training models on unrestricted edge devices like personal computers and connecting Huawei chips with Nvidia processors. According to Bernstein&#8217;s channel checks, &#8220;most companies are able to carry on without H20 chips.&#8221;

Why It Matters: Huawei is reportedly preparing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43945751/huawei-boosts-ai-chip-production-despite-taiwan-semi-and-asml-ban-aims-to-challenge-nvidia-in-china?utm_source=chatgpt.com">mass shipments of its advanced 910C AI chip</a> as early as next month. The chip reportedly matches Nvidia&#8217;s H100 performance by integrating two 910B processors into a single package, according to Reuters.
Huawei has doubled the yield rate of its AI chips from about 20% a year ago to approximately 40% now, making its Ascend <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43945751/huawei-boosts-ai-chip-production-despite-taiwan-semi-and-asml-ban-aims-to-challenge-nvidia-in-china?utm_source=chatgpt.com">chip production profitable for the first time</a>, the Financial Times reported. The company aims to reach the industry standard of 60% yield.
Chinese AI companies focused on foundation model subscriptions face the biggest challenge transitioning from Nvidia&#8217;s proprietary CUDA software. Bernstein noted one Chinese company required 200 engineers and six months to migrate to Huawei chips, achieving only 90% of previous performance.
