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.

The brokerage called me today and asked if I wanted to swap our two (2) A shares to Berkshire Hathaway (the company headquartered in Omaha) for B shares at a premium ratio of B shares.

This is the first I have heard of this action by Berkshire. Anyone else gotten this offer?

While we hold far more dollars in B shares, there is no way we are letting our A shares out of our possession. It is a personal ego thing worth way more than a paltry investment premium differential.
