Boston Omaha Corporation Just Took 2 Big Steps in the Right Direction
I haven't been thrilled with this unique holding company recently, but the latest developments are good news. Boston Omaha Corporation (BOC 4.08%) hasn't exactly made many investors happy in 2024. It pulled the plug on arguably the most exciting part of the business, one of its co-CEOs abruptly left the company, and to call executive compensation of the past few years excessive would be an understatement. However, as I explain in this short video, two big recent news items should make investors smile.

Hurricane Ernesto is Gaining Strength: How Will It Affect Maine, New Hampshire, & Massachusetts?
Until recently, New England rarely had to worry about tropical storms and hurricanes. Over the last few years, we have seen that change, though. In September 2023, we had to deal with a pair of back-to-back storms. While those storms had lost much of their strength by the time they reached New England, they did hit us within days of each other. And after dealing with Debby last weekend, we are getting ready to deal with Ernesto this weekend.
