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.

“If BRK.A declines another 5% (It's dropped 10% since the annual meeting from a P/B of 1.78 to 1.57x BV.), I think that Buffett will be repurchasing stock again, if he's not already.”

Agree & I do wonder if the $330+ billion in cash equivalents will make WEB more likely to repurchase shares at potentially a smaller discount to his I.V. range than he normally does. Willing sellers of significant A shares may be a bit harder to find. Honestly, I would be pleased, as long as repurchases are done at his I.V. “range”.

We know he has No interest to simply support BRK market price, but I imagine when buybacks are noted in the quarterly, interest & purchase may pick up elsewhere given his cheapskate reputation wrt repurchases. The next 6/12/18 months will truly be fascinating to observe.
