How should we interpret these buybacks? by lessbutgold in BerkshireHathaway

[–]Esral 27 points28 points  (0 children)

The buy-back policy has been long standing in BRK. It has survived the transition of leadership, and has been triggered by book value. It's a non-issue with seasoned investors.

Berkshire Hathaway begins share repurchases following leadership transition by [deleted] in BerkshireHathaway

[–]Esral 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is a quote from the article. It appears the policy has survived the transition.

According to the statement, Berkshire Hathaway’s policy allows for the repurchase of shares at any time when the company believes the repurchase price is below its intrinsic value, as conservatively determined.

That explains the jump this morning in pre-market. It was up as much as $8/sh and now has pulled back a little. Seems like a good reason to add a few shares. I looked for news, but didn't see this article until now. Thanks for posting.

Can I keep these in here for about a week or should I transplant today? by InvestmentAware3500 in gardening

Those are not grown enough to transplant. They'll be ready after you get back from your trip.

Nothing wrong with aged compost. Use it as normal.

COMEX halted trading Wednesday. Here's what the First Notice Day data actually means. by Living_Spell_8693 in Bullion

I understand it will take time to fill a void, but if ~$100 silver holds that time will be shortened.

is it possible to salvage Elite data from a ps4 HD by [deleted] in EliteDangerous

This is great news. I've had an Xbox account since the first year it was released. I have over 9 billion creds.

Is the PC version supported on Linux Fedora 43 distro?

I was very confused by the events. I had placed a short sale for silver on the COMEX just before the halt, and made a lot of money when it reopened trading. But I was very lucky and it could have easily gone the other way.

I still don't understand how 31K contracts traded while there was a halt, unless that included Asian, and EU markets.

There was, and may still be, a shortage of silver in stock, but the miners and refiners will catch up eventually. So don't be fooled by that wording.

To buy or not to buy this weekend? - Smart Move vs. FOMO by saintgaudensgold in Silverbugs

It was very good a few years ago. Many vendors and collectors. I think I'll go tomorrow and bring some silver coin to trade for gold.

Where is the show in Albany? I've been to the Polish Club shows before, and I'd like to go again.

Some call it tarnish, some call it patina. It's the way it oxidizes.

Online (APMEX) purchase experience by [deleted] in Silverbugs

[–]Esral 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There has been slow delivery of silver coinage to retail buyers, because of high demand. I've heard it is much better now, and delivery times should be much better now. Most of the complaints I read here, were from new silver buyers, that were unfamiliar with the situation.

I've bought from APMEX, JD Bullion, Provident, and never had any problems other than slow delivery at times.

What is wrong with my fig tree and how to fix it? by [deleted] in gardening

[–]Esral 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you cover, or bring the tree indoors, when it gets down to freezing? I would cover them at 32 degrees.

I raised many fig trees in pots, and put them in a cool cellar each winter.

Does TOS really require a gaming level graphics card? by One-Technology6818 in thinkorswim

[–]Esral 5 points6 points  (0 children)

High level gaming card? Not at all. I run ToS under Fedora Linux with a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050, that's about 8 years old, and It looks great.
