BargainValueHunter Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 http://online.barrons.com/article/SB50001424052970204590704576092363632916394.html?ru=yahoo&mod=yahoobarrons#articleTabs_panel_article%3D1 Combine that with the likely repayment of some lucrative investments in Goldman Sachs (GS), General Electric (GE) and other companies that Buffett made during the financial crisis, and Berkshire's insurance units could be holding $20 billion more by year end than the $30 billion they had on Sept. 30, 2010. (We focus on cash at Berkshire's insurance operations and not in other divisions because insurance cash is readily available for investment. Other units held about $3 billion in cash.) Berkshire's market value is $200 billion, fifth-largest in the U.S. stock market, behind only ExxonMobil (XOM), Apple (AAPL), Microsoft (MSFT) and Google (GOOG).

merkhet Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 I thought you meant Biglari Holdings...not BRK! haha That's exactly what I thought too! Not a lot of people refer to Berkshire Hathaway as BH. Usually it's BRK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ValueCarl Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Finally, a DIVIDEND is in the CARDS. I was wondering how Burlington owners who didn't exit entirely, would feel about not being fed by Uncle Warren. The sooner it happens, the better! :-X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dealraker Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 On the wall here in my office is Andrew Bary's December 27th 1999 Barron's cover: "WARREN: WHAT'S WRONG?" Bary's writing goes into detail about Buffett's anti New Era stance and profiles the outperformance by Buffett's peers Jack Welch and Hank Greenberg.

I think Warren has not had the last laugh, yet. Not bad, sitting, sitting, sitting on cash...you first need to have cash to sit on it. ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL ;D At some point, Berkshire will start to pay a dividend. I'll no speculate as to when, but Berkshire not only can't buy lemonade stands, but at this time neither the lemon producer in the purpose of moving the needle very significantly.

DCG Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Barron's has been wrong on most of their predictions over the last couple years, so I wouldn't put much weight into anything they say at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
