I'm glad to hear they have been repurchasing shares, seems like a good use of that cash pile, in the absence of a lot of other opportunities.

And more float is always good, although it would be even better if there were lots of opportunities for using it.

I hope they also talk about how fixing GEICO is going, and whether they intend to buy more Occidental (although I'm pretty sure they won't say), and how Precision Castparts is doing, and Rational's question, how they will deal with the disappearance of Buffett's controlling stake, as 5% is given away every year.

In a way, it's too bad so many questions are about politics, the general economy, living a good life, etc. The questions about Berkshire's business are few and far between.
