I think Steve Jobs was a horrible person. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lisa_Brennan-Jobs

Hmmm. The only people that would stay away because of this from American financial markets and New York are going to be people who would like to be able to lie/cheat. I fail to see the downside to this. I’m super happy that Berkshire decided not to take the risk financial and political.

So in one post you went from. Trump is terrible to MGGA(Make Germany Great Again). Also the westernmost part of Russia is Kaliningrad. which is west of Lithuania and right above Poland.

Operating earnings + investment portfolio gains is about 60B-70B per year. 900B market cap is still not close to fair value. I feel it should be closer to 1.2T

and going back to 1984. BRK has outperformed TTC by 2.5x. So what is the reason for this random comparison from an arbitrary date?

Reminds me of the Warren Buffett quote “When they have any doubt about whether a particular decision or action is right or wrong, they should imagine how they would feel if it were reported the following day in their newspaper, with the assumption that the write-up is authored by a smart but unfriendly reporter and is read by their family, friends and neighbors.”

KO did not perform great since 2000 but it didn’t do as badly as some people think. I think it’s about 6-7% per year total return with dividend reinvested. Not great but not as terrible as just looking at the chart would suggest.

I don’t think I would call 5% as bullish. That’s about what you get with a savings account.

When buying our house we had a max size of around 2200 sqft. We didn’t see any use for something bigger. Current house is 1700 sqft and very happy with it. A bigger house is just more money to buy, higher property taxes, higher insurance, more to furnish, more to heat/cool more to clean and maintain and we end up with more stuff.

I hope it stays that way. I would hate for it to go the way of Goa and Konkan beaches.

This sucks. He was so close to his 100th Birthday. RIP Charlie. Thanks for all the wisdom.

Yea I’m concerned that AAPL 2023 could turn out be like KO in 1998. Edit. If only AAPL would buy a bunch of BRK shares and they could swap.

thats precisely what he is saying

10 year needs to get a move on. Its lagging between the 2 year and 30 year.

Do you think the MANU sale will happen soon and at the rumored 6B asking price?

I couldn't find the Investments table in the 2022 annual report. Was it removed or did I just miss it?

This one did not do well for Berkshire Hathaway.

KVUE SPHR - Today is the day

I am disgusted and disturbed by allegations without any proof. Why should anyone believe what the Canadians say? They are acting like the world should believe what they spout because they are a rich western country. Also why should the Indian embassy keep issuing visas to Canadians? That says more about you. Seems you think getting an Indian visa is right. I am extremely happy with the response from India.

I am looking at Bonds, Insurance, Oil, Tobacco, Asian Stocks, US Banks Also thanks to CoBF am looking into Media companies and Retailers,

Cool -Lots of questions that could have been answered with simple online searches. Most people in other countries do let their baby cry? That’s an extraordinary claim - why should I believe you? And most people in other countries do sleep train their babies - evidence please? Google is your friend.

Co-sleeping is very common in Asia and most babies sleep with their parents. There is a very low incidence of SIDS in Asia compared to US and most other western European countries. Why is "sleep training" not needed in the vast majority of countries around the world? People in most countries don't let their babies cry and they don't need to or try to "sleep train" them.
