Viking Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Now I understand why BRK went up $4 in the last 4 hours of trading... too much buying from people on this board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Hjorth Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Gents, please note that it's still only some hours ago, that alwaysinvert posted here on CoBF today: I still think the main complication is that he can't get size and this was tested a bit in Q3 2018, with the result being that the stock gained pretty much every day for a month. If he could get $10b worth of stock at $200, I'm sure he wouldn't mind. But the issue is that if he ratcheted up buybacks fast in any one period, the market would be informed before he could gain much ground. He needs to somehow convince the market that he won't backstop the stock price and has failed to do so thus far. Hence the tepid buybacks. This makes it sound like buybacks is the only thing on his mind, which obviously is not true. However, any feasible strategy for long-term use of funds without dividending out portions must necessarily include sizable buybacks. It just so striking. This - today - is his [Mr. Buffett's] favorite playground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spekulatius Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Wesco I owned this in the past but I feel like other distributors like MSM are better values. WCC seems to rent out their balance sheet to customers - their cash flow they stable and they have a fair amount of leverage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardboard Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 "Cash. Following the sale of 20% of my S&P 500 puts. Waiting for 30+ VIX to sell more." Did you make money with your puts? If so, which ones and at what price did you buy them (SPY level?). It is pretty tempting this morning to buy puts with the VIX way down, S&P up almost 1% and a huge down gap on the chart from yesterday which could be hard to fill, at least in the short term. The SPY was at $277-278 last evening until the Chinese decided to fix their currency a little higher. Then we have Kudlow saying that Trump is flexible on tarrif this morning. Of course, it would only take a little round of golf between the two to make the market reverse way higher but, there seems to be too many issues now, economic weakness and too little value for the SPY to clearly break to a new high. Historically, I have found that cash is the best hedge (if you are worried, it will be there and not budge) while I have had very mixed results with puts. So very curious as to how you do it?
