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.

If we all agreed to put limit orders in at more agreeable prices do we think we can bring the price down to us? Do a lot of open limit orders move things? Is that illegal? If so, I don't want any part of it but if we all collectively used our own prices and put them on the books can we move things down to more reasonable levels?

I just put slightly increasing $ limit orders in at $465.79 (~1.5x what I think current BV is), $449.79 (~1.45 x BV) and $434.79 (~1.4 x BV). I will probably add some more at lower levels.

I also have sells in at 1.67, 1.71 and 1.75.

I had sold chunks in March and April at an average price of $517.71. Want to ease that back in as SPY and BRK move in opposite directions again. Trimming a few other names too as they jump with SPY.

Hoping VRSN comes back down too. Lightened on that greatly this Spring and it keeps inching up -- maybe bc of buybacks and low volume. BRK owns a ton and isn't selling.
