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.

Share repurchases are another important capital allocation option. We will buy back Berkshire
shares when they trade below our estimate of intrinsic value, conservatively determined, ensuring
that repurchases enhance per-share value for continuing owners. We may also purchase large
blocks of shares directly from major holders when the opportunity presents itself. These purchases
allow shareholders to own an incrementally larger piece of Berkshire’s businesses, without
deploying any additional capital of their own.

This may be interesting wording. Maybe new maybe not.

1) Will buy up to our estimate of IV, conservatory determined. Not 10% below or 20% below. Is this characterized differently?

2) May purchase large blocks of shares directly from major holders. Does this imply willing to pay higher than IV referenced above?

Any thoughts?
