Warren Buffett, known for his successful investment strategies, has suggested that Berkshire Hathaway, with its well-diversified equity portfolio and solid businesses, should be able to outperform the S&P 500 with lower risk for investors. While Buffett has added positions in companies like American Express and Coca-Cola, he believes that Berkshire Hathaway itself, including its equity portfolio and growing cash reserve, is the company to own for long-term growth and protection against economic downturns. Buffett's confidence in Berkshire's future is reflected in his significant personal investment and consistent share repurchases, making the current valuation of the stock attractive for potential investors.

The Parliament's bill on expanding powers will be reviewed and voted on June 21, prompting speculation on whether the Executive Yuan will conduct a hundred briefings in rural areas akin to the 'four different opinions' approach in the past. Premier Audrey Tang stated there are no such plans due to ongoing official duties, while Green Party legislator calls for public discourse during the constitutional interpretation stage. Tang emphasized following this direction in engaging with the public. Both the Blue and Green parties will hold rural public forums this weekend to discuss the impact of parliament's power expansion and the legitimacy of parliamentary reform, gearing up for the vote on June 21. However, unlike past practices during the four major referendums where then-Premier Su Tseng-chang led a team to explain across the island, the Executive Yuan has not announced a nationwide public discourse plan yet. Tang reiterated a commitment to using the forthcoming parliamentary query sessions in explaining the government's stance clearly to legislators.

On June 14, 2024, Taiwan FactCheck Center #3068 reported on a viral video claiming to show 'blind baby glasses' invented by scientists. However, ophthalmologists have clarified that the babies in the video likely have myopia, not blindness, and the glasses they wear help correct their vision. The viral video's claim is debunked, as it shows babies with vision issues being able to see better with corrective glasses, not blind babies gaining sight through special glasses. Eye specialists emphasize that true blindness cannot be corrected in this way, and the video has been misconstrued on social media platforms. The report urges fact-checking before sharing misleading information. (Reporter: Zeng Huiwen; Editor: Chen Weiting)

Amid the hot housing market, on June 14, 2024, at 3:25 a.m., the Central Bank introduced the sixth wave of selective credit controls, including a 0.25% increase in deposit reserve ratio. However, housing market trends expert Li Tongrong pointed out that the New Qing'an initiative is actually driving the market frenzy, akin to a 'new youth drug', and if the government does not adjust it, a market storm is bound to occur. Li criticized the Central Bank's measures as merely reprising old tactics and failing to address the root cause of soaring property prices caused by the widespread manipulation and speculation associated with the New Qing'an project and pre-selling futures. Despite knowing that New Qing'an fuels the market frenzy, the government led by Lai Ching-te hesitates to act against it, largely because the policy was rushed out as a pre-election move to attract younger voters and criticizing it now would be politically challenging. The cabinet has disregarded external criticisms accusing New Qing'an of being the main culprit behind the housing market frenzy, sticking to the narrative that the policy is well-intentioned and must be fully implemented until its expiry in two years. Li Tongrong criticized the government for handling the situation with kid gloves compared to previous administrations which took more aggressive measures to curb real estate speculation.
