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.

'My guess: we go slowly right up to 50% on the public markets with no premium needing to be paid, then exchange the warrants to get to 59.4%, and then buy the rest in short order''

This is exactly how I see the OXY plan and we benefit from those preferreds along the way. Classic BRK type of position- Business he/we can understand, supply/demand, high quality mgt and capital allocation and improving balance sheet, at a reasonable price and forward thinking mgt with carbon capture. Heads we win, tails we win imo whether we acquire OXY or just build up the position. Seems to rhyme with BNSF deal potentially but without BRK shares as currency. Will be fun to see how this all unfolds.
