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.

Are you kidding me????
$482!!
Up another 6.


Indeed, quite the rally. $1.037 trillion already, the trillion mark is so last week. The difference is $37 billion--that used to be a big number.

Price-to-last-known-book 1.724. That's 23.2% above the 20 year average price-to-peak-book, so somewhat higher than usual: only 12 trading days closed at higher multiples since March 7 2008. At the average multiple since Jan 2008, the price per B share right now would be $102 lower.

A:B ratio is 1499.77, so perhaps a slight hint of a "B heavy" move? In any case, I think the momentum boys have climbed on board for a little while, Berkshire is now rallying even a bit more than other insurers.
