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.

You don't agree that siri is higher today than it otherwise would be if brk hadn't acquired over 30 % of the issued and outstanding?

Right, I don't agree.

If it is, it would only be because some people heard about it and wanted to coat tail because they think Berkshire has good stock pickers. The change of ownership of some of the shares doesn't change the value of all the shares, at least not after the day of the trade (since there is finite liquidity at any given time). Consider: Would the price go up if I bought some, with someone else selling? Or would it go up if I sold some, with someone else buying? Neither.
