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.

The most recent publicly-available Semper Augustus client letter is from February 21, 2025. (It is extremely strange that he publishes a detailed assessment of Berkshire literally the day before the annual report is published - it becomes immediately outdated. But who am I to judge.)

I figure he wants the publicity right before the AM, only he didn't get it out in time this year, IIRC, yet still used old data. <shrug>

But I think it's also reasonable to believe that Bloomstran lowered his estimate of fair value after the annual report and annual meeting (and before this most recent interview), such that he did view it as materially overvalued in real time.

Must be. I wouldn't think he'd describe it as "overvalued" if it was only 4% over his IV estimate.
