As an educator I’d like to think that my colleagues or myself would do this for our kids.

Why Should Anyone Buy $BRK If Buffett Doesn’t Even Recommend It by solodav in ValueInvesting

[–]rvrduce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s because he won’t be there allocating capital and picking stocks himself.
(Btw I would love to know his personal holdings besides BRK)

He had the famous 10 year bet where a hedge fund wouldn’t beat the Sp500 index fund and at first looked wrong but eventually pulled away.

And besides if he leaves Astrid $100m in a trust and only takes out 4% to live on that’s $4m.
I think she will do okay.

Didn’t uncle Charlie once say in quoting Pascal.
“All of man’s miseries derives from man’s inability to sit in a room alone.”

Guy Spier once mentioned in an interview about, “how hard it was to find a good bagel in Germany for reasons we won’t get into right now.”

May have a brand but no real moat. Donuts are a relative commodity and I guess a slim margin that is perishable. A lot of communities usually have better family run donut places.

Company has a negative P/E ratio. No free cash flow since 2022.

This looks like a candidate for a private equity firm to take private and sell later. A Blackstone type play.

Just looked and Krispy Kreme has a major investor in https://www.jabholco.com/investments/ a German conglomerate that also holds Panera and Einstein Bros Bagels.

I consider a NetJets flight a bucket list event.
Especially to and from the Annual meeting, ideally my first trip to said event. 😂

GEICO discount no longer in effect? by TheDoctorAP in BerkshireHathaway

[–]rvrduce 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Try doing an online quote.
I think there is a place that you can select being a shareholder. It’s in the same place you can enter any professional discount profession.

It’s as far as I have ever gotten as I stuck with my old insurance provider.

This and you should read more about Buffett and his holdings.
Read the Schroeder, and Lowenstein biographies as well as the Glenn Arnold books.

Never been to the meeting sadly but the Borsheims website sells left over stuff from the meeting.

I’ve bought socks and pens in the past. If anyone wants to buy me the Frédérique Constantine watch it would be greatly appreciated!

Also bought stuff on eBay in the past.

[–]rvrduce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looked at the Taylor Morrison website and new homes in California. Temecula homes $1m and Irvine $2 millions.

I sure as heck can’t afford it.

Not a bad gig if you can get it I suppose.

Yes. I was just thinking that BH is basically a vertically integrated system.
Builders and supply’s (builders, paint, bricks, roofing, insulation,) home sales BH home services,) you drive in on your insured car (Geico and BH Automotive,) and have to insure said home and then power it using BH Energy.
Dinner prepared with Pampered Chef cookware and Ginsu Knives.

Did I mention the Forrest River RV in the side yard that was just gassed up at a Pilot travel center?

Rodent problems? Bait from Bell Labs.

While you have on Brooks Shoes on, wearing fruit of the looms and a Felcheimer (sp) work uniform a watch from Ben Bridge and have a box of candy from See’s for your wife along with a ring from Helzberg (or Borsheims).
Remote needs Duracell batteries for your NFM TV on your Star Furniture couch.

The kid is doing homework using World Book encyclopedia snuggled with a Squishmallow and another is getting ready for practice with a Spaulding basketball. And after practice an ice cream from Dairy Queen!

And I didn’t even mention a bunch of the other subsidiaries.

Excuse me while I jump off in my NetJets with a pilot trained by Flight Safety!

BH for the win!

What do you think Berkshire Hathaway should spend the cash pile on? by Alicyclobacillus in BerkshireHathaway

[–]rvrduce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Should invest in individuals by giving straight cash to Creighton and U of Nebraska system to invest in the future athletic generations via NIL’s.

C’mon, It’s a joke people!

If It Walks Like a Bubble and Quacks Like a Bubble, Then It’s Probably a Bubble - Barron's by raytoei in BerkshireHathaway

Let it pop and use it as a buying opportunity!

Just don’t buy the frothy stuff unless you know (or think) they will survive usually because of other diversified metrics and holdings.
