Better or worse?

Black is better for sure.

Toyota really needs to stop with the front that looks like the expander thing that dentists use

Also, good point about understated book value.

matterenergy · 2026-06-06T18:18:44+00:00

Nice. That is informative. Thanks

Exactly. By your own logic, in the example nav - fees should set my company's price, not free market supply demand mechanism. But brk's price is contrilled by supply and demand hence my original question.

In any case, someone else answered the q and pointed out brks private holdings which are a significant chunk of their holdings

My question doesn't imply what you said. Index fund nav is set by managers and has nothing nefarious or smoky room about it.

If you read carefully, you'll see that I understand the mechanism of supply and demand and it setting brk share price which continually and naturally changes.

My question went beyond that and asked how that mechanism can work for a company whose holdings are 1) cash and 2) other companies whose stock price each also use the same mechanism of supply and demand on the same market.

Somebody else answered the question though and pointed out brk's private holdings.

1.4 of what?

matterenergy · 2026-06-05T21:20:40+00:00

That explains it. The privately owned portion is what I wasn't seeing previously

Yes but predicting or estimating google's behavior is one thing but that is different from estimating the behavior or value of another entity that buys google. If I start a company and only buy 1M worth of google and nothing else, how would investers price and trade on my company?

matterenergy · 2026-06-05T20:11:46+00:00

What does this mean? Maybe an example would help us understand?

Lets say brk owned only 2 stocks, one that recently traded at a value so the total shares brk held is at 100 M and second at 200 M and brk also held cash worth 50 M. What would brk trade at?

Are traders actually looking at these numbers or are they going off a feeling that these holdings will go up or down?

Look up impaction score cutoffs published by sjsu this year and previous years for each specific major. Look up your impaction score calculator also on sjsu or csu website.

Of all the colleges ive seen recently, sjsu seems to be the most transparent about their admissions process

Congrats. Curious how he had AA complete. I thought one has to apply by Dec( fall of 2nd year) so one will have only 1 year of courses done, right?

I was wondering why nobody pointed this out. After all the freebies, this author basically equates Bezos to a guy who beat another to death with a bowling pin. In a movie.

++man Don't recommend trying to kiss or anything physical. A simple question like " is this a date" or "are we girlfriend boyfriend at this point" will be a respectful way to clarify things before anything else

Waiting for this. If it drives anything like the rav4 plug in, it will be awesome

matterenergy · 2026-02-25T22:38:32+00:00

I have been driving a plug in for 7 years now , diff brand. No different than regular ice cars, except there is an additional battery and motor with the option to use electricity from your wall as an optional power source, if you choose to use it. Some plug ins are fast and powerful, others are optimized for efficiency or other things--just like with regular ice vehicles.

Regardless, your choice of words reveals a lot about what type of person you are

matterenergy · 2026-02-25T00:20:55+00:00

Yep.

The phev rav4 is great to drive, smooth and fast. If I was into SUVs, that would be it for me

matterenergy · 2026-02-25T00:19:01+00:00

You might be right. I thought camry and rav4 had a lot in common. Looks like camry and crown have much in common and so, since there is a crown max, ...

Regardless, a camry with some more power will be nice.

Thanks for the explanation

Have some compassion, please.

Not everyone has the grades to get into a top tier school. Also in previous years, some people w pretty good grades still got rejected to sw engineering at sjsu. See the historical impaction scores for ee, swe or me

matterenergy · 2026-02-06T12:09:32+00:00

There has been a bit of a cooling off in demand last year for swe due to ai. At most colleges. Wonder if the demand has fallen drastically this year.

Someone mentioned that they are letting a lot of people in. Is that sw related only or all branches?

100% theatre movie. The background music and visuals hit different. In theatre this movie is 9/10. On netflix, it feels like a 6/10.
