Thanks for this!

Sometimes you sell your sports car when the repairs become too expensive to justify keeping it, and you can make better use of the money elsewhere in your family budget. It be true that your family has grown in size and diapers are expensive. One of those reasons (expensive maintenance vs. need for diapers) is more palatable to the buyer than the other. And thus we end up with "the need to boost liquidity".

Berkshire sitting with $300 Billion in cash could easily move more money into PacifiCorp - if it made financial sense. But it's a murky place to operate now.
