Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (BRK.B) is facing a pivotal moment following Warren Buffett's retirement, which has raised concerns among investors about its future performance. Experts highlight the company's strong portfolio of diverse businesses, particularly in insurance, but also note challenges such as competitive pricing pressures and a low-interest-rate environment impacting income. The new CEO, Greg Abel, has been praised for his operational capabilities, but uncertainty remains about how he will navigate the company post-Buffett. While some analysts recommend holding the stock for the long term due to its defensive nature and significant cash reserves, others express caution over potential underperformance compared to the S&P 500. Overall, BRK.B is viewed as a solid long-term investment, though its growth may not match historical highs.

DON'T BUY
With this company, you always have to take the net value of the shares (NAV) and compare it to the stock price. Also, what happens when Warren Buffett can't do his magic tricks anymore?
STRONG BUY
Terrific value. Most attractive that this one has ever been. 35% discount to book value. There has not been a 5-year value where he has not grown the company book value faster than the S&P. 70 Billion of cash on the balance sheet and will use all but 20 billion to buy back shares.
TOP PICK
Buying back shares up to 110% of BV. Mr. Buffett has not lost his skill to do deals. 6% yield. Warren Buffet likes this, you should to.
HOLD
Owns this (one share) independent of his contra portfolio. Question to ask is what will happen when Buffet is not longer head of the organization. Tremendous track record. Would not look at it as a dollar play.
DON'T BUY
It’s a market stock now. It has so many holdings. The huge value gains it had in the past are not in its future. Why buy it over an index fund.
BUY
Has proven to be a good place to be. Have very capable people, particularly on the insurance side.
COMMENT
If you were only going to Buy one stock this one would not be a bad one to hold.
DON'T BUY
Don't have it as your only equity holding. If you have it with others, you can't go wrong. Not his favourite stock as he feels Warren Buffett gets a premium on the NAV on the underlying companies that make this up. He is also concerned about his ability to live forever.
WEAK BUY
It is sacrilegious to go against Warren Buffet. If you want to buy it for 5 to 10 years, you don’t know he will continue running it. The best years of this company are behind it, not ahead of it. The re-insurance business doesn’t look that good. The valuations are high. You probably wont go wrong with the company.
BUY
(Market Call Minute) Betting against Buffet is foolish. You have to look at the insurance business more carefully.
HOLD
Just split the shares so it is now included in the S&P 500. Looks very attractive. Probably the world's best money manager managing it. Probably a fairly expensive management fee. Has probably had its run in the short-term, so just watch.
DON'T BUY
Hasn't been the sort of engine of shareholder value that it was years ago. If you are buying this now, you're basically buying the reinsurance business, not Warren Buffett's expertise. You can probably do better with other insurance companies or other industrial conglomerates. As a conglomerate, Onex (OCX-T) represents more value per share.
TRADE
Big fan of them. Not too comfortable with the premium for any individual’s investment skills, but this is a good long-term hold.
DON'T BUY
Acquiring Burlington Railways. Also announced a 50 for 1 split in order to pay for the acquisition and current shareholders will have to face some kind of dilution because this will be a very expensive acquisition. Not a big fan because of 1) their succession plan and 2) because parts of their business are not doing well.
BUY
Lending money to many companies at 10%. Good entry point.
