The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

" I guess nobility is in the eyes of the beholder. I think it is more noble to oppose a silly idea like this one (that repurchasing shares could be taking advantage of share sellers) than to espouse the idea when it makes no sense. Noble is not a synonym for futile."


Many here would have us believe that when brk had no authorized buyback, Buffett was a man of honor.

When the buyback had a 1.1 xs BV limit he was still, a good man.

At a limit of 1.2 xs BV, still a good man.

Now, at material discount to IV, which he obviously has a huge edge at determining, he is no longer a man of honor.




Reading many of these people is better than three weeks on Naked and Afraid with Jlo!!

ucmtsu,no way.
