Daily Money: Warren Buffett's dividend income; stimulus checks; Honda Civic redesigned
Good morning, Daily Money crew, it's Nathan wishing you a happy Thursday.
I have to admit, I had no idea that you could win a new home on "Wheel of Fortune" these days. But that's not the only thing that happened on Tuesday's episode. Vanna White also got hit in the head with a confetti cannon blast.
Thankfully, she's OK.

💡 INSIGHT OF THE DAY: About half of Warren Buffett's dividend income is coming from three stocks. While Buffett-led Berkshire Hathaway's stocks are pretty diversified, its $2.2 billion in annual dividend income is not so diversified. Half comes from Apple, Bank of America and Coca-Cola.
📰 Here are our top stories:
1. Could a fourth stimulus check be in the works? Some Democrats want one, but you probably shouldn't hold your breath.
2. Is Amazon recommending books on QAnon and white nationalism? Browsing books can lead people down an extremist rabbit hole.
3. It's one of the most popular vehicles in America, but the Honda Civic's sales have been struggling just like other passenger cars. Last night, Honda revealed a redesigned version of the Civic, hoping to draw new interest to the stalwart sedan.
4. When will more "plus-up' stimulus payments arrive? More than 730,000 catch-up stimulus checks have been sent to Americans in the latest batch of payments.
5. President Biden is turbocharging the economy with stimulus. Will he smother it with regulation?
Just remember: No matter what happens to you today, at least you won't get hit in the head with a confetti cannon blast.
