Post #4974 by AdrianC on the Berkshire Hathaway board

If someone appears to be repeatedly personal, lean towards patience as they might not mean offense. If you are sure, however, then do not deepen the problem by being negative; instead, simply place them on ignore by clicking the unhappy yellow face to the right of their name.

Berkshire continues to lag a do nothing index. I would like to see Warren asked again about the old rule of creating move value over a five year period which had been revised.

By my calculations for the last 7 rolling 5-year periods, Berkshire failed the book value test 5/7 and IV test (using 5-groves) 4/7.

They can't find much to buy, so they've been returning excess capital to shareholders when it makes sense. Total buybacks almost $75 billion.
