My posts come in bursts, sometimes, I guess because when I have some thoughts and a moment to post something, that leads to other thoughts and more to post. This is another one of those. I talked about BRK a little in my last post and then realized I had this post in the queue…

Sanity Check 2026
Crazy! It seems the market is going crazy, as usual. So I decided to do something I haven’t done in a while; look at the Dow 30 stocks and their P/E ratios one at a time. Averages often don’t always tell the whole story, but looking at a list of individual stocks can give you…
BRK 2021 Annual Meeting
So, like many of you, I watched the BRK annual meeting (replay) as usual. It was nice to have Ajit and Greg join Buffett and Munger on the stage. Buffett and Munger both looked great, and it was good to see that duo in action again. There were a few interesting things this time. This…
Sogo Shosha
Not quite a whale, and pretty small investment, but interesting nonetheless. As usual, people are trying to read all sorts of things into this investment, from bullishness on Japan, bearishness on the U.S., the U.S. dollar, inflation hedge / exposure to natural resources etc. It almost feels like nobody ever reads anything Buffett writes. He…
Is Buffett Really Bearish?!
So, with Buffett dumping airlines, JPM and not jumping into the markets in March, is he really all that bearish? His cash keeps piling up to the frustration of long time Buffett fans. March Decline First, I would have to say that the March decline was pretty quick. It crashed, and the market bounced back…
Tsunami etc.
Yes, it’s a tsunami. Tsunami of liquidity. A fiscal tsunami. Both at the same time. People seem baffled at the strength of the stock market; they keep saying the market is ‘divorced from economic reality’ and things like that. Others say this is a big bubble waiting to implode. I don’t mean to argue that…
Wow!
It’s been quite a few weeks since my last post. I haven’t really changed my thoughts since then, but maybe the economic impact of this will have more than a blip on the long term charts after all. So far, the economy seems to be doing much worse (or will soon) than the stock market….
Why BRK?
Every now and then, BRK comes up in conversations with people (and often with people not in the business) and the topic becomes, what to do with BRK post-Buffett. I tell them I own BRK and plan to own it for a long time, and sometimes I wonder why myself. Too Big First of all,…
BRK Corporate Governance, MSFT, Market Volatility etc.
So Buffett finally buys some JPM. He owned a bunch in his PA years ago and said it would be a conflict to own both JPM and WFC within BRK, or some such thing. I guess recent events (WFC scandals) have made him change his mind (as he may be starting to dump WFC). I’ve…
Is Buffett Bearish?!
This is going to be a short post. It’s just another one of those things that hit me in the head, like, duh! I read all the time that even Buffett is bearish the stock market as he is stockpiling a ton of cash. He has close to $100 billion in cash (and equivalents) on…
