Subject: Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?
And Buffett hasn't shown any real interest in companies similar to OXY with better financials. Why? I'll be clear. I don't pretend to understand Buffett's thinking.

I too have no data, but that never stops me.
I had assumed that it's because of the high (highest?) US concentration.

The claimed future capital discipline being only a bonus factor.

As for why the purchases stopped (for a while), perhaps the recent acquisition was seen to be somewhat counter to the capital allocation plans that Mr Buffett thought had been promised?
