Billionaire investor Warren Buffett once referred to Apple ( AAPL 1.02% ) as "probably the best business I know in the world." For years, it has been a top holding in the Berkshire Hathaway ( BRK.A 0.07% ) ( BRK.B -0.01% ) portfolio. Buffett likely remains incredibly bullish on Apple's future, but he has, nonetheless, been selling a lot of the company's stock over the past year. This past quarter marked the fourth consecutive period when Buffett reduced his stake in the iPhone maker. Cumulatively, it results in a fairly sizable change in Berkshire's overall portfolio. While Apple remains the top holding, it isn't taking up nearly as large of a chunk as it was before. Here's how the Berkshire portfolio has changed and what lessons investors can take away from Buffett's latest moves. Apple now accounts for just 23% of Berkshire's portfolio Today, Apple stock makes up less than one-quarter of Berkshire's overall portfolio. That's a significant change from just a year ago when Apple was making up close to half of all of its holdings. Just four stocks back then were representing 71% of Berkshire's holdings, and that has changed dramatically with Buffett's stock sales over the past four quarters. The top four stocks remain the same in Berkshire's portfolio: Apple, American Express , Bank of America , and Coca-Cola are still firmly at the top. But in total, they now account for approximately 59% of the total portfolio. The biggest change is the gap, however. A year ago, the second-largest holding was Bank of America, taking up nearly 9% of the portfolio, which was well behind the near-49% that Apple represented. Today, Apple and American Express are the top two holdings, with the former accounting for 23% of the portfolio and the latter being not far behind at 15%. This doesn't mean Buffett sees anything wrong with Apple's stock It's important to note that while Buffett has drastically trimmed his position in Apple (at $70 billion, his holdings are now less than half of what they were a year ago), that doesn't mean he's any less of a fan of Apple. Buffett's main goal is to look out for shareholder interests, and cashing out profits before possible changes to capital gains taxes might be a motivating factor for him, especially given how well Apple stock has performed over the years, with it now being among the most valuable companies in the world with a market cap of $3.5 trillion. Additionally, Buffett famously doesn't rely on economic forecasts, or make decisions, based on where he thinks the economy is heading. The Berkshire chief is a long-term investor who has remained invested in far more troubling times than where the economy is today. Apple, meanwhile, has generated an impressive $109 billion in free cash flow over the trailing 12 months, which is a clear sign the business is still doing phenomenally well. What can investors learn from Buffett's recent moves? For investors, there are a couple of important takeaways from Buffett's significant stock sales that are worth noting here. The first is that it's OK to sell a stock you like for the sake of securing some profit. You don't need to be all-in on a stock or completely out of it. If it's doing extraordinarily well, a prudent move may be to sell out a good chunk of your holdings. That can minimize your risk if you're worried about a downturn. Secondly, having a more diversified portfolio can be advantageous at a time when valuations are high. If Berkshire's portfolio had still been heavily tilted toward Apple, it would have been more vulnerable to a correction in the markets. Berkshire still isn't all that diverse, with such a huge chunk of its portfolio allocated to just four stocks, but it's certainly more diverse than it was a year ago. Putting your eggs in one highly valued stock, regardless of how much you may love it, can be a risky position to be in. Lastly, there's nothing wrong with holding more cash if you're not sure what to invest in. Buffett has often talked in baseball terms about waiting for a pitch in your "sweet spot" to hit. And that's what I think Berkshire may be doing with its growing cash load . It's waiting for an opportunity to come along, perhaps if there is a market sell-off, to make not just any move but a significant one in value stock that is priced at a discount and which possesses a lot of upside. Having a strong cash balance on hand can free up investors to take a big swing at a great opportunity which comes up.Indian billionaire Gautam Adani has been slapped with criminal fraud charges in the US for allegedly orchestrating a $250m (£198m) bribery scheme to secure lucrative renewable energy contracts in his home country. Federal prosecutors in Brooklyn , New York , unsealed the five-count indictment on Wednesday, alleging Mr Adani and seven other associates, including nephew Sagar Adani, bribed Indian public officials, concealed the scheme, and made false statements to raise $3bn (£2.4bn) from American and international investors. Mr Adani, one of the world’s richest people, has faced fraud allegations earlier as well, but denied wrongdoing. He is regarded as a close ally of Indian prime minister Narendra Modi . Mr Adani, 62, has been charged with conspiracy to commit securities and wire fraud, directly advancing the bribery scheme, and obstructing investigations that began in 2022. The contracts to sell 12 gigawatts of solar power that his conglomerate obtained between 2020 and 2024 in the southern Indian state of Andhra Pradesh allegedly through the bribery scheme are expected to generate over $2bn (£1.58bn) in profit. “On several occasions, Gautam S Adani personally met with an Indian government official to advance the bribery scheme and the defendants held in-person meetings with each other to discuss aspects of its execution. The defendants frequently discussed their efforts in furtherance of the bribery scheme, including through an electronic messaging application,” the US Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York said in a statement. It said the defendants meticulously documented the bribery scheme. Sagar Adani, 30, used his phone to log details of the alleged bribes. Another accused, Vineet S Jaain, 53, photographed documents summarising bribe amounts owed while Rupesh Agarwal created and shared analyses via PowerPoint and Excel outlining strategies to pay and conceal the bribes, the indictment alleged. The Adani Group has said the allegations are baseless and vowed to seek "all possible legal recourse". “Our stakeholders, partners and employees know that we are a law-abiding organisation, fully compliant with all laws,” a spokesperson said. Lawyers representing Mr Adani have not issued a statement. The indictment against Mr Adani has jolted debt and equity markets in India. Adani Group bonds fell in value after the news broke, but the stocks of the conglomerate’s companies stabilised on Friday after having lost nearly $27bn in market value. India’s main opposition party, the Congress, has called for an investigation into Mr Adani’s ties with the prime minister. “When a top ranking Indian businessman is indicted by a foreign country, it tarnishes our image at the global stage,” the party’s president, Mallikarjun Kharge, said. “The Indian National Congress has been continuously objecting to unethical business practices, which profiteer and promote certain individuals by implementing Modi government’s policy of creating monopolies in key sectors and concentrating wealth in the hands of few by giving undue favours.” Senior Congress member Jairam Ramesh said the indictment is “consistent with a long record of fraud and criminality carried out with impunity with the obvious protection of the prime minister”. Mr Adani has risen from making a fortune in the coal business in the 1990s to becoming one of the richest and most influential people in India. His Adani Group has expanded vastly in the past decade or so, with interests ranging from defence manufacturing to infrastructure to selling cooking oil. In recent years, the group has made big moves in the renewable energy sector, marketing this with the slogan, “Growth with Goodness.” The group has a clean energy portfolio of over 20 gigawatts that includes one of the world’s largest solar power plants in the state of Tamil Nadu. The Adani Group has said it wants to become India’s biggest player in the sector by 2030. Mr Adani said in 2022 the company will invest $70 billion in clean energy projects by 2032."I never imagined that I would have to face my abductor in court again," Yang Niu Hua said. "It's a constant reminder of the trauma I endured and the years of suffering I faced. But I am determined to seek justice and closure, not only for myself but for all victims of human trafficking."
CHETICAMP, Nova Scotia — In the middle of the 18th century, Great Britain undertook a deportation program in the New World with many of the elements of President-elect Donald Trump’s plan to expel hundreds of thousands of immigrants, perhaps even more than a million, from the United States. It did not go well. This episode is lost in the memory of most North Americans, but is vivid today, some 270 years later, in the lives and cultures of descendants of the French colonists who lived, generally peaceably, among Indigenous peoples for a century and a quarter. It was a mass deportation known variously as the Acadian Expulsion or the Great Upheaval, and it remains a blot on British history — and, perhaps, an object lesson for the new administration as it is contemplating an even more massive expulsion. “What Trump wants to do in terms of moving people has a real parallel,” said Donald Savoie, Universite de Moncton scholar with Acadian roots. “It was extremely painful, and Acadians have not forgotten that experience.” Here in the land of what Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, in “Evangeline,” called “the murmuring pines and the hemlocks, bearded with moss,” are the successors to the Acadians ruthlessly expelled from Nova Scotia between 1755 and 1763 and deported to the American Colonies, Great Britain and France. In all, about two-thirds of the Acadians were expelled in a brutal effort that provides the backdrop of Longfellow’s epic poem about lost land and lost love. Some of the Acadians and their descendants later returned here, to the fishing village of Cheticamp on Cape Breton Island, where Acadian culture is nurtured and Acadian recipes are renewed and revered. Everywhere flies the flag of Acadia, a yellow star (the stella maris, or “star of the sea,” signifying the Virgin Mary) affixed to the familiar blue-white-red rectangles of the French flag. Just as the Acadian lovers Evangeline Bellefontaine and Gabriel Lajeunesse were separated during the Great Upheaval in the Longfellow poem, so too were hundreds of Acadians in an expulsion that began when Col. John Winslow summoned males over the age of 10 to the Grand-Pre Church, where he read a decree ordering “That your Land & Tennements, Cattle of all Kinds and Livestocks of all Sorts are forfeited to the Crown with all other your effects Savings your money and Household Goods, and you yourselves to be removed from this Province.” The appointment of Tom Homan, who has promised “a historic deportation operation” as the Trump administration’s border czar, and the strong role that Stephen Miller, the administration’s leading anti-immigrant figure, will play as Trump’s deputy chief of staff make it clear that the new president intends to set in motion what he has called “the largest deportation in the history of our country.” There are, however, obstacles to a mass deportation of those in the country illegally that could affect as many as 11 million people — about a quarter of the immigrants in the United States now. One is the backload of cases in the nation’s immigration courts; the Supreme Court has ruled that migrants facing deportation have the right of due process. The American Immigration Council, sometimes criticized for being an advocacy group for immigrants, puts the cost of such an operation above $315 billion for arrests, detention, processing and eventual removal. The group argues such an operation would reduce GDP by 4.2 percent to 6.8 percent and would lead to a reduction of more than $47 billion in federal tax revenue and $29 billion in state and local tax revenue. More than half the country wants drastic changes at the border. A year ago, 41 percent of Americans wanted immigration decreased, according to the Gallup Poll. The figure now: 55 percent. The poll found that 42 percent consider immigration a crisis. Only four years ago, the public was split between those wanting to admit fewer immigrants and those favoring more. The number of foreign-born people in the United States reached a record 47.8 million last year, about 14.3 percent of the population, according to the Pew Research Center, just below the record figure (14.8 percent) set in 1890. Miller has spoken of creating staging grounds that would include runways for military aircraft near the Texas border. Trump confirmed the other day that he would use military personnel for deportations and has talked of using local police in the effort. No plans have been made in Mexico for the reception of those sent back across the border, no shelters have been created, and no means of feeding or employing the migrants are available — challenges that face Claudia Sheinbaum, Mexico’s president for less than eight weeks. “This will be a great burden on President Sheinbaum, who will need time to put a plan in place, and it will be highly disruptive to U.S.-Mexico relations,” said Patrice Franko, a Colby College expert on Latin America. “This is going to be a complex process that merits great discussion, a lot of interagency work, and negotiations in how to do this in a way that does not spill over into other areas, including the drug war.” The Acadian precedent offers no comfort, only disruptions in the short term and anxieties in the long term. Professor Savoie, the leading Canadian expert on government operations, remembers the 1955 bicentenary commemorations of the Acadian expulsion. “The celebration was that we were still alive and kicking,” he said. “To this day, Acadians have never let go. They have demanded an apology. It’s still a part of who we are. I think people and entire generations will be marked forever by the Trump expulsions. The United States will make enemies for generations.” The big difference between the 1755 expulsions and the ones that Trump is planning is the media technology of the time. The Trump expulsions will be visible globally in a way that was inconceivable when the Acadians were deported after refusing to swear oaths to the British crown without assurances that they would be free to practice their religion and could remain neutral in case of war with France. “This Acadian precedent to the Trump plan didn’t work out very well,” Savoie said. “It did not work out for us, as it is still a bone in our throat. We Acadians have never turned the page. And it didn’t work out for the British crown, because centuries later it is still a stain on their history.” David M. Shribman is the former executive editor of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

IND vs AUS Live Score: India on top after a dramatic opening day in Perth Border-Gavaskar Trophy Live Score: How the madness unfolded on 17-wicket day in Perth The 2024-25 edition of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy got off to an exhilarating start at the Optus Stadium in Perth on Friday as pacers wreaked havoc on a blockbuster 17-wicket day. The batters from both sides were brought down to their knees as Australia and India quicks turned out to be lethal on Day 1 of the series opener in front of a capacity crowd. Seventeen wickets, all picked by pacers, is the most on the opening day of a Test in Australia since 1952. Yes, 1952! After the experienced Australian trio of Josh Hazlewood, Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc reigned supreme and shot down India for 150 in their first innings, the hosts' batters danced to the tunes of Jasprit Bumrah and Co. and ended the day at 67/7, still 83 runs behind India. India vs Australia Live Score: Brilliant opening spells from Starc and Hazlewood Young guns like Yashasvi Jaiswal (0) and Devdutt Padikkal (0) looked completely out of place during a brilliant opening spell bowled in tandem by Starc and Josh Hazlewood. Virat Kohli (5) was done in by a short ball from Hazlewood. The star Indian batter couldn't remove his bat from the line of the ball and the resultant edge became a regulation slip catch. Rahul followed the basics during this course -- playing the one coming into his body while leaving all other deliveries from length. He got out when Starc, back for his second spell, got one to move a shade and the snicko showed deflection although the batter suggested that his bat hit the pad at the same time when the ball went past the edge. IND vs AUS Live Score: Reddy and Pant were the only saving grace for India But this resurrection was preceded by a horror show with the bat. Reddy's grit and Pant's brief daredevilry were the only saving grace against a disciplined Australia. Pant and Reddy had added 48 when rival skipper Cummins, who had dropped a skier, got a fuller delivery to straighten as the southpaw closed his bat face and the thickish leading edge flew to the second slip. Pant and Reddy were the only two players who were intent on a pushback. Among the top-half, KL Rahul (26 off 74 balls) was ready to grind it out before getting a contentious caught behind decision. Border-Gavaskar Trophy Live Score: India took control of the proceedings Debutant Nathan McSweeney (10) got a nip-backer and DRS ruled him leg before. Usman Khawaja (8) just froze in his crease once Bumrah decided to square him up by coming round the wicket. Virat Kohli, who had earlier dropped Marnus Labuschagne ( 2 off 52 balls), didn't make any mistake on this one. But it was out of form Steven Smith (0), who got a very difficult first delivery that zoomed in and dipped catching him plumb in front. Once Bumrah set the tone, debutant Harshit, with a bustling action, got one that pitched on middle stump, drawing Travis Head (11) forward before it deviated to dislodge the off-bail. Australia were reeling at 31 for 4. Labuschagne took 24 balls to get off the mark and also found himself at the receiving end of some heated words from an agitated Siraj. The Indian then pitched one up to Mitchell Marsh and the resultant edge was brilliantly snapped by KL Rahul before ending Labuschagne's 52-ball agony with an in-cutter. Bumrah then came for his final spell of the day to remove the rival skipper as India took control of the proceedings. India vs Australia Live Score: Australia had no answer to Bumrah's quality On the driver's seat when they came out to reply, Australia had no answer to Bumrah's (4/17 in 10 overs) quality that was on display. Defending a low first innings total cannot be a one-man show and Mohammed Siraj (2/17 in 9 overs) and debutant Harshit Rana (1/33 in 8 overs) stepped up to support their skipper. The lengths they hit were immaculate, around five metre from the stumps and on the off-stump channel. The live grass did the rest whenever the ball landed on the seam. IND vs AUS Live Score: Bumrah leads India's spectacular bowling comeback after batting no-show Skipper Jasprit Bumrah made amends for his debatable toss call to bat first with a mesmerising opening spell that left Australia scurrying for cover at 67 for 7 and helped India make an emphatic comeback after a flop show with the willow on the opening day of the first Test in Perth. The match, which was billed as a battle between two out of form batting units, lived up to the prediction at least on the first day. As many as 17 wickets fell, which is the first time in seven decades for a Test match on Australian soil. The stand-in India skipper, much to everyone's surprise, opted to bat on a track with a liberal grass cover which generated appreciable seam movement and midriff high bounce. But neither the youngsters nor the seasoned ones in the Indian line-up were up to the task. It was debutant Nitish Reddy's gutsy 41 and Rishabh Pant's 37, including an unbelievable sixer, that got India to 150 in 49.4 overs with Josh Hazlewood (4/29), Mitchell Starc (2/14 in 11 overs), Pat Cummins (2/67 in 15.4 overs) and Mitchell Marsh (2/12 in 5 overs) sharing the spoils.

Nate Frazier ran for career highs of 136 yards and three touchdowns, while Arian Smith caught three passes for 110 yards and a score as the Bulldogs (9-2) won their second straight game and 30th straight at home, dating back to 2019. AJ Hairston completed 7 of 16 passes for 121 yards and a score for the Minutemen (2-9), who dropped their third straight. Jalen John ran for 107 yards and a score and Jakobie Keeney-James caught three passes for 101 yards and a touchdown. Peyton Woodring kicked a 53-yard field goal to extend Georgia's lead to 31-14 on the first drive of the third quarter. But UMass wasted little time responding, as Hairston hit Keeney-James for a 75-yard touchdown to get the deficit down to 10. Georgia then finished its sixth straight drive with a score, as Frazier's 9-yard run up the middle gave the Bulldogs a 38-21 lead at the 8:44 mark of the third quarter. After UMass punted, Georgia played add-on in its next possession, with Frazier scoring from 15 yards out with 1:39 left in the third to lead 45-21. Frazier stamped his career day with his third touchdown run, a 2-yarder with 6:33 left, before Georgia capped the scoring with Chris Cole's 28-yard fumble return with 3:28 remaining. UMass took the game's opening drive 75 yards down the field -- aided by Ahmad Haston's 38-yard run -- and scored on CJ Hester's 1-yard run with 9:15 left. Georgia answered on its ensuing drive, as Beck's 17-yard passing touchdown to Oscar Delp tied the game at the 5:05 mark of the first quarter. Following a short punt by UMass, Beck connected with Smith for 49 yards, and a roughing-the-passer penalty put the ball at Minutemen's 14-yard line. Facing a fourth-and-4 from the 8-yard line, Beck found Cash Jones for a touchdown to take a 14-7 lead with 10:30 left in the second quarter. On UMass' next play from scrimmage, Raylen Wilson recovered John's fumble on the Minutemen's 28-yard line. Three plays later, Beck connected with Dominic Lovett for a 15-yard touchdown with 8:56 remaining.

Mississippi blows opportunity at making the College Football Playoff with Florida lossLabour members have gathered in Christchurch for their annual conference. Leader Chris Hipkins is set to speak at 2pm. The speech will be live-streamed at the top of this story. The party is debating a “captain’s call” ban and Aukus. Labour Party deputy leader Carmel Sepuloni told Labour members the coalition Government needs a “nana, tinā or kuia” to keep its three leaders together .
