A) Buffett premium is gone.
B) An S&P sell off would hurt Berkshire.<<
So, he liked it WITH a Buffett premium at $540, but “the Buffett premium is gone”—so that makes it less attractive 10% cheaper…ok…
And an S&P sell off he worries would hurt Berkshire even though 70% of the company is not even invested in stocks, and BRK cash exceeds total stock exposure. But he worries about a stock sell off in Berkshire—more so than his other stocks. Got it.
