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.

A different perspective...

Deciphering Berkshire Hathaway's 2023 Proxy Statement
Some thoughts on share repurchases, executive compensation, shareholder proposals, and more...

"A lot of people's eyes glaze over when confronted with an SEC filing ' and for good reason. Companies seemingly go out of their way to drown readers in a sea of jargon and legalese.

Berkshire Hathaway is (way) better than most in this regard, but many of its shareholders still drag their feet instead of reading the proxy.

So, in the spirit of public service, I've gone through Berkshire's proxy statement several times, pulled out the most important details and information, and tried to summarize them in plain English. I hope it proves helpful.
