>>"undistributed earnings of our investees." Does anyone know how to get the latter number<< Leroyt, this is what I have always assumed Warren means: If dis earns 1.7 million FROM OPERATIONS for the quarter, and if BRK owns 2% of disney, then, on a proforma basis, take ~34,000 and add it to BRK earnings for the quarter. If there has be a dividend distribution, subtract that. Do this for all companies and look at the capitalized figure separate from the STOCK asset base of BRK Please comment. TIA Duke
