Post #20223 by Said on the Berkshire Hathaway board

When visiting Shrewd'm with a laptop, it can be pleasant to hold Command (or Ctrl with Windows) and '+' a few times. The site scales to allow any font size, and the larger font can be pleasant to read even for Shrewds with perfect sight! For luxury Shrewdness, you can combine that with setting the browser to full screen. You'll then find yourself Shrewding a lot.

Going around in circles.

Group A:
- We wait very patiently for fat pitches.
- Hope isn't a plan. But holding on for a major market downturn can be.
=> The great story might(?) continue.

Group B:
- You could buy back at ten billion a quarter and the cash would not change.
- scale ... A $30–50 billion deployment ... wouldn’t by itself solve a $374 billion reserve. The question is ... whether Berkshire ... can repeatedly deploy or return capital at a pace that keeps up with the size of the problem.
- Dividends
- dutch auction for 25% of the company
=> It can´t and it won´t continue.

Group C:
- Abel ... He may create plenty of value by improving Berkshire’s operating businesses
- Abel ... highlighted our operating managers and emphasized EXECUTION. And that connects directly to where I’ve argued our value creation comes from next.
=> The great story ended, but the future might be ok.

Conclusion: None - of course not 😂

Personal take: Don´t be in Berkshire if you want to get rich (but eventually if you already are).

P.S.: Apologies to all posters I quoted above. The quotes are out of context, distort and over-simplify what they said. By purpose: Being a simple mind I just wanted to illustrate what I see in a simple way.
