Thanks for the update!

I'm 48 and feel this post. Lost my father at the age of 71 last July. His siblings didn't make it out of their 50's. Figure if I have 15-20 good years left in me I'm going hard for those. I enjoy beer, good music and travel. House and yard provide enough work and exercise. Would love to play soccer more, but knee's and back won't allow me to play at the level I'm used to. So now I play a little golf here and there. Investments are in a good place. I continually learn and tweak the process and the endline. It's amazing how fast time goes and how quickly investments snowball. I've learned in my old age not to be overly competitive and not to take myself too seriously. Main goal is enjoying life and experiences now. Cheers my CoBF brethren!

Spekulatius, glad you enjoyed it. I agree, some of her best work. Lyrically and musically it's great.

Natalie Merchant's new album, Keep Your Courage. And it's fantastic!

Thanks for posting. WEB- "And we'll never run out of money!"

Berk 70% Remainder is mostly: AMZN GOOGL COST CASH T-BILLS

Same strategy here. All new money goes to BRK when it's under $300.

Didn't Warren say that the Allegheny folks came to him? In WEB's explanation, Allegheny came to him on a Monday morning and approached him. He had admired the company and was interested, but did not initiate. Was it last years annual meeting, or an interview where this was disclosed?

Agreed 100%. Berk is more valuable as it is, not broken up. I'm still wishing that WEB takes out Costco. I think it fits perfectly and compliments so many of our businesses. Recurring revenue from membership dues. Costco offers auto/home insurance that can be combined with BRK's already existing businesses. Costco could be a little like the BRK annual meeting where Costco would carry See's Candies, Benjamin Moore Paint, etc. BRK is pretty much a Costco now without the singular store front and everything under one roof.

Wife and I will be heading back this year for our second trip as well. Met a lot of great folks while there last year. There was a brewery behind the Hampton where we stayed that seemed to have some good meetups/conversations going. Love the trip and being amongst other BRK folks.

More BRK.

More BRK/B and some COST.

Appreciate the reminder, it's been awhile. Have The Money Game, Paper Money & Super Money all in the collection.

Same thing is happening with Tesla insurance. I have Geico, but have read complaints on Tesla groups where the individual's driving score has gotten better month to month, but premium increases. Tesla insurance is a monthly premium, supposedly based off your driving score. But the correlation is not there with the price increases.

Added some AMZN.

Should be an interesting release tomorrow. Lot of events that impacted our company this past quarter. Curious to see what cash was used, and to see if the buybacks picked up a bit with the stock price hitting the 260's during the quarter. Aside from the stock positions, Insurance and BNSF could drag. May get a chance to buy more in the 260-270 range before year end.

Time to retreat to Helm's Deep. Buying BRK/B.

The Dude: It's like what Lenin said... you look for the person who will benefit, and, uh, uh...

WEB is pretty focused on his health. He's having too much fun and enjoying himself too much not to make the effort to exercise. I remember a quote from him along these lines: "My knee's are in great shape, while the other young men were playing football, I was reading. My knee cartilage was pretty much stored in a box in great shape until I needed it later in life." I'm too lazy to lookup at what age WEB's parents passed, but I think a lot of it is a stress free, happy life. Stress and worry is a killer.

Going fishing for a trade and buying SOFI <$5.

I have experienced no issues with the TreasuryDirect site. Link outside account, Buy, wait, redeem.

Agreed! Started some nibbling on Friday.

The only position I have done this with is BRK. And have had good success with it. The stock value is discussed here and one can easily follow it and trade it. My biggest was on July 9, 2020, didn't catch the bottom, but knew it was trading at a very attractive price. Was very comfortable making that purchase knowing the stock value and history. Going to be nibbling at BRK again as the price allows.

If a company pays taxes on unrealized gains and those gains are later lost, does the IRS reimburse the company for those taxes paid on now lost realized gains?
