The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" 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.

" They thought they could do better.

I think there is merit to the idea that Berkshire "index" most of their equity investments going forward. Having huge, concentrated positions worked when the firm was much smaller and the greatest investors were in charge. Now Berkshire has huge amounts to invest and less talent to do it. How about a self-generated, value-weighted "index"? Could it work?"


Yep, if team Greg does a deep dive into all our wholly owned subs you can bet they will find, issues, with 5 % or more. That's what I hope the game plan is going forward.

I seriously doubt Greg is in control yet, hence best case, we are going to hear buybacks have resumed.

375 BILLION in cash is a lot of $$, even for brkville brother Jim!::))
