Chris Thom - CIM, DMS, FCSI Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (B) BRK.B-N BUY Jul 31, 2025

Has a great, long-term chart, but has pulled back in recent months, so is now a great entry point. Also add in the coming correction.

Warren Buffett is tremendous and he has faith that Buffett did a good job picking his successor. If you own this, hold on.

Is -11% since May. But they have serious investments in Japan and Apple. That said, the impact of catastrophic losses in the insurance space is impacting BRK's overall portfolio. They increased their stake in Domino's which hasn't performed.

The Buffett premium is disappearing. Sitting on lots of cash, and the bigger risk right now is what do they do with it. He doesn't know where they're going with that. People are unsure about the new management. He's not enticed, not even for the long term.

Investment portfolio consisting of public stocks and private companies. His firm really likes private equity. Stock dipped when handover to new CEO was announced, but nothing else has changed. That's why he likes the stock now. Greg Abel's been there since 2011 under Buffett's tutelage, so it should be smooth sailing. He sees a parallel with AAPL, when Tim Cook took over from Steve Jobs. 

Doesn't pay a dividend, but will generate a quarter billion dollars in dividends alone this year, which get reinvested back into the business. That's pretty decent growth right there.

Saturday sees the latest results. Enough with the negativity. BRK holds amazing properties, even if Warren Buffet is stepping back as CEO. If they have a good quarter, the stock will run.

The genius running their insurance business remains--business as usual. No, there won't be another Buffett or Munger, but their successor is well-train and hope he was the right choice. Look at Apple: Tim Cook put his own stamp on the company. He remain comfortable owning BRK.

Doesn't know why people are buying and selling daily. Gives you exposure to broad, global markets with significant overweight to the US. You're trusting them to invest your $$ better than you can. Over long periods of time, proven to be no different than buying a large-scale, low-cost index fund. 

20, 30, 40 years ago, they were much smaller and made a difference. So big now that they can't make enough of a difference in buying good companies and have them be accretive. Well run, and the pedigree's there. Great holding if you're looking for something with a value tilt. No dividend.

Strip out the stock portfolio, and its operating business is very cheap at 12-13x PE.
