Could it be that the market views Berkshire primarily as an insurance company and values it accordingly? That the current valuation has less to do with Berkshire as an individual company and more to do with optimism for the reinsurance sector?Point well made. I used stockcharts.com to plot an S&P insurance index and BRK/B over the past 10 years. BRK has pretty closely tracked the index - slightly lagging - but this all depends upon what start point you choose. I took 10 years just to observe how each performed. Hope the link works.
stockcharts.com: PerfCharts | StockCharts.comIf not, the symbols are $SPINPC and BRK/B and chose Perf Plot as the chart type.
Are the non-insurance businesses and cash actually holding back the BRK stock price? (grin)
Is the whole industry over-valued?
Otherwise, BRK is just keeping up.
