Here's the thing- the stock is up over 30%. When was the last time Berkshire had a jump like that? I've held it for 23 years and I don't recall a 30% jump in a year off the top of my head. I sold half my wife's non taxable stake at $428 thinking there would be a drop. What I didn't realise is that it would run up to $450. Thankfully, it quickly tanked back to $413 and I promptly plunked down the same amount I sold three weeks prior. I literally felt naked for those three weeks!! Now, I sold half the stake again last night at $466, again, thinking there's got to be a drop below this price at some point. I don't know when, but there has to. At least I think???
