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.

Where are these 3 occasions of "insider trading", of Buffett profiting from knowing Berkshire moves? I was reading and re-reading the article. All I found was this...

First of all, "insider trading" is your term, not the article's. Second, if all you found was the J&J sale, you may want to read more slowly. The article leads with WEB's Wells Fargo sale. And also notes Walmart.


Without passing judgment at this point, since WEB hasn't responded (yet), on their face the multiple instances reported in the story run directly counter to WEB's repeated statements about his policy of steering clear of Berkshire investments.
