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 face page of Berkshire's 10-Q, when compared to its related News Release (p. 2), indicates to me that it repurchased some combination of A and/or B shares equivalent to approximately 174 A shares between July 1 and July 26, 2023.

If I am correct, and if the purchase was all in A shares, the lowest price in that time frame (per Yahoo Finance) was $513,874.

If it was all in B shares, the lowest price was $338.41. However, if they observed the 5% rule, it appears to me that an "all B-share purchase" would have required 3 purchase days and the 3rd-lowest price day for the B's was on July 6 at $338.91.

If I've missed something here (not unlikely), please let me know.

Phil
