Bitcoin Price Hits Record High

 

Bitcoin reached an all-time high of $103,647 on Dec. 5, 2024. The milestone capped a year of significant developments for the cryptocurrency, including the January 2024 approval of spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), which allowed mainstream investors easier access to the asset through traditional brokerage accounts.


The roughly 48% surge from prices of about $70,000 before the election came amid investor exuberance over Trump's crypto-friendly campaign promises, including a pledge to fire current SEC Chair Gary Gensler, who has often been critical of cryptocurrencies.



Trump tapped Paul Atkins, CEO of the consulting firm Patomak Global Partners and a former SEC commissioner, to chair the SEC in his administration. In the years since leaving the SEC, Atkins has argued against too much SEC regulation and has been seen as a crypto advocate.

I don’t offer advisory or brokerage services, nor do I recommend or advise investors to buy or sell particular stocks, securities or other investments. -Jermaine Filmore Free Lesson:  How to Invest in Dividend Stocks: A Guide to Dividend Investing How dividend stocks work Let’s look at an example.

That works out to a 3% yield — not too shabby. What you choose to do with your dividends is up to you. You can: Reinvest them to buy more shares of the company. Buy stock in a different company.

A New ETF Gives You Warren Buffett’s Stock Portfolio, Plus a Bonus

Image
An exchange-traded fund keyed to Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway equity portfolio has attracted nearly $250 million since its inception in March. The VistaShares Target 15 Berkshire Select Income ETF holds 21 stocks — 20 in Berkshire’s portfolio plus 10% of its assets in Berkshire’s Class B shares. Plus, there’s a twist. “Berkshire doesn’t pay a dividend,” says VistaShares CEO Adam Patti. “We felt there was an opportunity to mirror the holdings and provide a 15% target [annual yield].” The Berkshire ETF uses the sale, or writing, of call options to augment income. As a result, the Berkshire ETF may be best suited for tax-free IRAs and 401(k) accounts. “Any income strategy will not keep up in an aggressive bull market” due to the options, Patti says, but the income will offset some stock-price declines. The annual fee is 0.95%. The total return of the ETF, which closed Friday at $19.20, is about flat since inception. The Berkshire index it tracks, which includes Apple, Berkshire B s...
