Re Buffet:"[A] pin lies in wait for every bubble," he wrote. Berkshire said after-tax profits excluding the realized gains from investments were $936 million for 2000. Would this ($936 million) be called operating earnings in any other company? If so, with 1.53m shares, or about $600/share operating earnings, share price of $71000, would indicate a p/e of 115 or so. Even with total earnings of $2185, still has a p/e of 34 or so. How far off base am I in making this sort of comparison? I don't know much about BRKa, but it sure seems to have a high p/e for these times.
