    The Buffett Madness Has Begun!!!

      Hey gang, Today was pure, unadulterated, capitalistic insanity!  But of course I mean that in a GOOD way...  Our day began at 9am Omaha time as the Fox Biz crew and I headed straight to Berkshire-owned Borsheim's Jewelry store.  We had a huge set-up in the store so we could broadcast our entire afternoon show live from the first "official" BRK Shareholder event.  Okay, can I just say?  You can spot these people from a mile away! Everyone looks like they're at the circus---big grins on their faces and money to spend, only here it's not on popcorn and cotton candy... at Borsheim's, it's 5 million dollar diamond ... read more

    Wal-Mart's Lee Scott: "History Will Judge Wal-Mart..."

      Lee Scott talks the talk AND walks the walk. I talked to him today, live in Santa Barbara at the Wall Street Journal's first-ever ECOnomics conference. He's a low-key guy who doesn't make bold, dramatic statements. He tells it like it is -- and when it comes to going green, he's calmly, but firmly, telling anyone who asks that, "We're doing it. If it's good for our customers, we'll do it." So he's finding ways to turn the world's largest retailer into a better corporate citizen when it comes to the environment. Among ... read more

    GE's Immelt says "Get your head out of the sand."

      Good morning from Santa Barbara where the sun is rising over blue skies and a cobalt Pacific ocean. We're going to be live all day from the Wall Street Journal's first-ever ECOnomics conference which brings together CEO's, entrepreneurs and venture capitalists to discuss how to make money by going 'green': reducing carbon emissions, recycling and figuring out ways to create sustainable energy. General Electric's CEO Jeff Immelt was last night's keynote speaker. He made some bold and dramatic statements to the group of ... read more

      Hey gang, JetBlue (JBLU) has gotten us to the West Coast safe and sound -- and we're already at Bacara, the spectacular, oceanside resort in Santa Barbara that will be the site of the Wall Street Journal's very first ECO-nomics Conference. The conference will bring together company leaders ranging from Dow Chemical to Wal-Mart to G.E. to Cypress Semiconductor and beyond to talk about green initiatives, innovation and profit -- all of it stemming from alternative energy and environmentally-friendly ideas. (By the way, the ... read more
