Jim, in answer to this question,

" Hi, do you recall when Buffett said, he wasn't buying back brkb because at the price he would pay would be taking advantage of the sellers? It may have been like 20 years ago, thanks hc."

RW, couldn't remember if or when Buffett said it.

The Brooklyn Investor replied, Yes, I do remember he said that. But that was in the context of really resisting returning any capital to shareholders, dividends or not. So I guess he loosened up on that...

For what it's worth, I'm 100 percent certain he said it and I responded to that silliness at that time.
