The Wall Street Journal: Duke Energy, Dominion scrap plans for Atlantic Coast Pipeline after years of delays

The builders of the Atlantic Coast Pipeline are pulling the plug on the project as companies continue to meet mounting environmental opposition to new fossil fuel conduits in the U.S. Duke Energy Corp. DUK, -0.11% and Dominion Energy Inc. D, +0.41% said Sunday that they were abandoning the proposed $8 billion pipeline — which aimed to carry natural gas 600 miles through West Virginia, Virginia and North Carolina and underneath the Appalachian Trail — citing continued regulatory delays and uncertainty, even after a favorable Supreme Court ruling last month. Dominion meanwhile said it was selling the rest of its natural gas transmission and storage network to Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway Inc. BRK.B, +0.47% for $9.7 billion including debt. The deal includes a 25% stake in the Cove ...

Mark Hulbert: This is the simple reason you can’t believe the P/E ratio for the Russell 2000 right now

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — Ready for today’s investment pop quiz? Which of the following is the Russell 2000’s RUT, price/earnings ratio when calculated based on trailing 12-month earnings? a. 17.5 b. 14.1 c. meaningless I bet that hardly any of you answered “c.” After all, the benchmark is down 15% for year-to-date performance. You’d be excused for thinking that the small- and mid-cap sectors this index represents are closer to being undervalued. In fact, “c” is the right answer. If you answered wrong you’re in good company. The two incorrect P/E ratios in my quiz come from very reputable sources: The 17.5 ratio comes from Morningstar’s reporting for the iShares Russell 2000 ETF IWM, +0.40%. The 14.1 is what iShares reports for that same ETF. Both numbers are significantly below the ind...

Warren Buffett’s Berkshire buys Dominion Energy natural gas assets in $10 billion deal – CNBC

Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway is finally pulling the trigger. The conglomerate is spending $4 billion to buy the natural gas transmission and storage assets of Dominion Energy. Including the assumption of debt, the deal totals almost $10 billion. It's the first major purchase from Berkshire since the coronavirus pandemic and subsequent market collapse in March. At his annual shareholder meeting in May, Buffett revealed that Berkshire had built up a record $137 billion cash hoard as the financial market tanked, and that he hadn't seen many favorable deals, despite the stock market's deep swoon. "We have not done anything because we don't see anything that attractive to do," Buffett said at the time, suggesting that the quick actions taken by the Federal Reserve this year meant c...

Trade setup: Nifty resilient; don’t chase the rally blindly, use it to protect profit

The domestic equity market further narrowed its trading range on Friday, as the indices oscillated in a very limited range throughout the session to end with modest gains. Nifty opened on a mildly positive note and stayed in the positive territory for the entire session. However, without signalling any directional trend, the index kept on moving back and forth in a 60-point range.
