Re: OT, out

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.

BRK-B is now at $523. Whodathunk?
Not too long ago people were doubting that it would break $500.

What I think is that I am kind of "forced" to reduce my Berkshire holdings. A while ago I started to not only buy more and more puts (I know, most can hear that anymore, sorry), but also to sell my "holy" Berkshire shares I bought before 1.1.2009 (those are exempt from capital gains tax in Germany). That selling lately accelerated, very especially today.
