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.

" " Looking at the form 4 filing, seems likely Berkshire has repurchased $9bn so far since 1q26. It is an estimate and might vary between $12bn and $4bn given decimals. But good news."

Where are the form 4s? Thank you."


Apparently, Schwab based that mid quarter buyback estimate on Buffett's 13 D filing. I see no Form 4 filings. I was thinking 4 billion so far 8-9 billion sounds high.

I'll call brk later to see if I can get clarity on this issue.

Buffett could have brought this up yesterday in the interview, but he didn't.

Becky could have asked Buffett why brk bought back an odd lot in q-1, after THAT press release, but she didn't.

Not much changes.
