Look-through earnings are what WEB considers important. On a per-share basis, we're up 23% on look through earnings (exluding "undistributed earnings of our investeees).

Help with look-through earnings: WEB states that look-through earnings are earnings exluding capital gains and purchase-accounting adjustments

PLUS

"undistributed earnings of our investees."

Does anyone know how to get the latter number:

That is, how much is the "undistributed earnings of investees.

WEB consider look-through earnings most important. Exluding the latter (undistriubted earnings of investees => 0)

In the first six months of 1998 and 1998, look through earnings were:

1999: $593 + $335 = $928.00
1998: $564 + $51 = $614.00

Excluding "undistributed earnings of investees", that's a 51% increase. On a per share basis, that's a 23% increase. NOT bad.

Comments?

BRK's book value is up 50% in 1999 and the look-through earnings are up 23% since a year ago. The stock price .... well ..

Then again, that's why I'm buying.

later, leroyt
