Computer chip and software maker Broadcom will spend about $61 billion to acquire the cloud technology company VMware, one of the biggest deals of the year despite rising inflation and some economic uncertainty.

A big acquisition would cement the chipmaker’s move into cloud-related products, echoing earlier deals by Dell.

The ratio of companies with insider buying compared to insider selling is at 1.75 for March, its highest level since March of 2009, according to Washington Service, a provider of insider-trading and data analytics. Insiders likely wouldn't be buying stock if they weren't expecting healthy business on the other side of the virus turmoil, but they are long term shareholders. Wells Fargo CEO Charles Scharf bought about $5 million worth of stock and Planet Fitness chief Christopher Rondeau purchased about $4 million in stock earlier this month. Blackstone bought more than $50 million of Cheniere Energy stock and JAB Holdings bought nearly $200 million of Keurig Dr. Pepper stock. Berkshire Hathaway bought $45 million worth of share of Delta Air Lines this month.

Dell founder and CEO Michael Dell said on Twitter that people who don't take the coronavirus pandemic seriously shouldn't apply to work for any of his companies. Dell was responding to a video on Twitter from CBS News, which showed a slew of spring breakers who brushed off concerns of COVID-19 and traveled to Florida despite health officials urging people to stay home. "Anyone in this video, please don't apply to work @DellTech @VMware," Dell tweeted Thursday. "And also please don't apply to @Secureworks @DellFdn @boomi or MSD Capital." Government officials have been urging people to socially distance themselves and stay home to try to slow the coronavirus' rapid spread across the United States.

When Goldman Sachs released a long-awaited app for customers of its Marcus consumer bank last week, it did so with little fanfare or hype. The development team was led by Dell and former employees of Clarity Money, the personal finance start-up that Goldman acquired. Still, the simplicity and appeal of Clarity Money is evident in the new Marcus app. "There are two kinds of incumbent banks," Dell told the audience at a financial conference in June.

Personal computer pioneer Michael Dell on Tuesday defended free market capitalism as the most effective system to drive entrepreneurship and jobs. "If you look at the number of jobs that have been created by the free enterprise system, this is the best thing going," the Dell Technologies founder said in a "Squawk Box" interview. Dell, who started his eponymous company in his college dorm room more than three decades ago, now employs about 157,000 people. The company originally went public in 1988 under the name Dell Computer at $8.50 per share and a stock market value of $85 million. "We need more entrepreneurship and we need more business creation," said Dell, whose net-worth is estimated at nearly $33 billion.
