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.

newsletter.rationalwalk.com - Berkshire hathaways proxy statement

From this information, we can infer that Warren Buffett repurchased 2,813 Class A Equivalent shares between February 13 and March 8, a span of eighteen trading days. During this period, 253,300 Class A shares traded between $590,340 and $647,039 according to Yahoo! Finance. We will not know the specific price paid for the repurchases until the first quarter 10-Q is released in May, but if we take assume an average price of $612,000 per share, the repurchase cost approximately $1.7 billion.

So yup, something like $407/b, range $394-$431.

I'll be a net seller going forward and did sell some in the $420 range. The family got to eat.

Berkshire isn't cheap enough to sell other things to buy it, not like it was four years ago.

Are you buying? Why/why not?
