dmp: You must realize that you do not understand BRK. With the closure of the MEC acquisition yesterday, employees at our operating companies now stand at 57000! This is NOT a mutual fund. Buffett said over the weekend that BRK will be doing its' first buyback ever under $45k. With $35 bil (with a mere $70 bil market cap) in cash and bonds (another $35 bil in equities) and no limit on the buyback, it won't go much lower :-) edit: BRK's ExecutiveJet purchases account for 8% of the global business jet manufaturing. EJA grew 46% last year and was "supply constrained" as it could only get 8% of the global manufacturing output. GEICO grew 25% vs. 4% for the industry and enjoys DELL's business model. There is plenty to like, but it is more of an investment than a trade.
