I respect his work so I'll share it. For me, brkb is 20 percent above what Buffett would pay so I agree it's a not a buy.

" Summary

I often use STEW as a large core holding in retirement accounts. I may occasionally add or trim a few shares based on changes in the discount. But I will likely hold STEW as a core position if the discount remains above 15%.

STEW is a solid fund that lets you sleep well at night. It has more of a large cap value orientation with very limited exposure to the "Magnificent Seven" stocks or other high-tech fliers.

At the current time, I would consider STEW a strong Hold. But I would consider adding shares if/when the discount gets back above 20%.

Overall, STEW's expense ratio is a bit on the high side, but its high discount to NAV, solid portfolio and access to low-cost fixed leverage below 3% more than compensates for the management fee costs."

Why is STEW considered a cheaper way to own BRK? Is there a belief that some day the discount to NAV will diminish?

“ Is there a belief that some day the discount to NAV will diminish?“ Several years ago I thought there was a good chance Brk would offer to buy the fund at say a 4 percent discount to nav. It’s an odd lot for brk 2-3 billion but it would have given the control family an easy exit. It still might happen into trumps lower tax rates for billionaires if the gop can get it passed. My kids and grandkids live in Cali so I just can’t sell their low cost stew.

People look at the large discount to NAV and think "WoW! I get to buy BRK 15% cheaper." And completely neglect to consider that is not really a benefit when you also get to _sell_ BRK 15% cheaper.

It's the same thinking as people who buy a high dividend yield stock while ignoring the price movement. Like CLM at 21% yield, and CRF also 21%.

Stew seems a bit strong relative to brkb the past week. Don’t be shocked if a shareholder friendly move is coming in stew.
