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.

I tried searching around but to no avail. Back in March-May 2025 correct me if I'm wrong, we hit around 1.78x known book when earnings were released. Clearly hindsight, but that was obviously a good time to lighten up/sell calls.

Some of you generous souls, I remember posted historical p/b's that showed how rare recently 1.8ish was, curious if someone has that tabulation, or can point to a post from that time frame actually bringing the point up in real time.

Right now we are at 1.6x known book, with a fresh book on its way, so likely we are at a lower p/b now, this doesn't appear to be that juicy of a time to lighten.
