Subject: Re: question on starting position in brk-b
Jim, and others, if somone is retired, and has no postion in BRK-B,and wants a 50% position of portfolio in it, how would you accumulate it now, dollar cost average, or other?


A lot would depend on where the capital is originating. If it was in SPY then I would have very little concern in moving that capital in large chunks to BRK. If it was in CASH I would probably take a more conservative approach and use caution. It is almost certain that BRK will be cheaper on a valuation multiple in the future, but in absolute dollar value maybe less certain (but very likely). Waiting for 1.4x book to start a position would seem like the option with the best possible / most likely outcome.
