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.

" It seems likely that Berkshire will owe more than $15 billion in cash taxes on the realized gains because they probably aren't finished selling. But 21% ain't bad if you're a trillionaire."

nola, once upon a time Buffett told us his desired holding period was, forever. It looks like he has now decided to pay 50 BILLION or so in taxes on realized gains in 2024. Are the BV calcs done after tax on half our unrealized cap gains or pre tax? Any idea if any of our other large public holdings or subs are using the tax gimmicks KO used? Thanks bud.
