Subject: Re: Berkshire undervalued
"So if I'm not mistaken we have been mandated here to discount Berkshire based on the over-valuation of Apple now for some time, trillions of market value ago. Yet the Apple itself was probably the largest segment of the intrinsic value gain for all the time we were required to discount it...because of course it was surely headed far lower based on extreme over-valuation."

No one can mandate that anyone else do anything on this board. We offer our opinion, people are free to take it or leave it. I personally find it valuable to see analysis done in detail. Saves me a huge amount of work and so I value their posts regardless of whether I agree with them on all the assumptions or details. But its a mistake to say that someone on the board is forcing other people to think a certain way or to agree with all their assumptions.
