The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" 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.

“So, the markets are wrong and Buffett’s stock sales were brilliant and well timed?”

I didn’t say that.

Berkshire hasn’t changed. Buffett hasn’t changed. He buys when he sees value, sometimes sells when he does not, or sells to mitigate risk. He obviously thinks the market is very risky right here, hence the huge cash pile. Rule number one and all that.

Berkshire might be about to change. I suspect rule #1 will still be operative. Maybe even more so for awhile. Greg might be ultra cautious at first. Which means you might get what you wish for, though I doubt it will do much for the stock price.

Be interesting to watch and participate.
