Oh my...no he does not. He's sneaky as f'..lol.
Congrats! You know what I mean :)
That's interesting. I'm not sure I entirely agree with him. But it'd probably be hard to turn up evidence of Roaring Kitty conspiring with other APES to pump GME and AMC. And it also seems that this time, they're showing signs of running out of gas pretty quickly.
On an unrelated topic, something from Hester Peirce:
Please Mr. Postman – Statement on Regulation S-P
https://www.sec.gov/news/statement/peirce-statement-reg-s-p-051624
It's on the expert market. There isn't a bid/ask published, and the ones iHub shows are very likely the last ones before it was tossed onto the EM (ie - they're not real).
1 BRK Is essentially a holding company - effectively a tax-efficient capital growth mutual fund that does nott have to distribute its portfolio earnings (interest, diividends, and cap gains) to shareholders annually (as true mutual funds must). By investing in dividend stocks, BRK deploys that dividend income (after paying tax on them) for long-term capital appreciation in BRK PPS rather than re-distributing the divi post-tax income to BRK shareholders and subjecting the shareholders to double taxation of the dividend income from the portfolo companies. This is smart for longterm capital appreciation and wealth-building.
2 BRK has no 'sweetheart deal' with the SEC. ANY registered issuer can request confidential treatment (CT) for information that otherwise would be disclosable in filings - CT is only temporary and delays the disclosure. The SEC only demands a reason - a very minimal summary explanation - as to the basis for why CT is appropriate. We routinely have issuers in bet-the-company litigation (e.g., patent and trade secret, commercial contract disputes) request (and get) CT for anything other than the most basic overview/summary of the matter. The SEC essentially takes the issuer's word and does no investigation - an inappropriate CT claim will eventually become apparent and the SEC can take action at that later date, if appropriate. I have never seen the SEC reject a CT request, although they do ask for a reason for the minimal basis to support the CT request. No "sweetheart deal" needed. I have made CT justifications for the SEC for numerous issuer 10-Ks involved in major commercial liitigation - sometimes CT spanning multiple sequential years.These justification responses are typically a short(ish) paragraph or maybe two and occasionally a phone call also.
Have they found the treasure yet?
BTW most insurance policies have a cap, so Chubb's total liability for the Key bridge is prolly capped at 350m with the bridge owner and possibly others responsible for the rest
The total cap is yet to be determined since there are re-insurers involved. This will get ugly very fast considering the damages involved.
BRK cash $199 B at this moment. Maybe a Trillion in borrowing power. no one pays less than BRK
I saw the post. But I'm not interested in reading about Warren on a weekly basis here. There are 2 boards devoted to Berkshire Hathaway on Ihub but somehow he gets posted about here all the time.

I have also pointed out Warren loves dividend paying stocks yet he pays none for his own stocks.
Finally I don't care for his sweetheart deal with the SEC where he can accumulate a stock and not disclose his trades as evidenced by CB and APPL lately.
Nothing sells insurance like a catastrophe. Insurors will have a bad Q or two, and then party on.
Cam Funkhouser weighs in on the Meme stocks and the question of the need for new regulations.
New regulations aren't needed for meme stocks: former U.S. FINRA vice president
The existing regulatory framework allows the regulators to prosecute anyone who interferes with the integrity of the market, says Cameron Funkhouser, former executive vice president of the U.S. FINRA.

Earlier this week I posted a piece detailing some of his most egregious errors, all of which he owns up to.
Unlike others I don't think he walks on water. He was dumping APPL while buying CB and missed the boat on APPL's share buy back.
2B+ share day today, to boot....the market may have another 1,000% daily return to celebrate.....
Judging by the continual CB share price appreciation of the past, oh, 30 years or so the market doesn't seem particularly concerned. And apparently neither, or so it seems, does Mr. Buffet.
You left out the expenses of $40B.

I've seen this played out before since the company I worked for brokered the insurance placements. One of the reasons we don't insure anything ourselves.
He has said worse a while back of the US heading for a recession. Meanwhile JPM and other banks have done quite well with rates being as high as they are.

Groovy...
$52B annual sales revenue should ease any discomfort.....
Not sure how that is going to work out for Buffett considering the liabilty Chubb is facing.
CRKN already traded 20X's its O/S, up over 200%, with a proxy out to vote on a 1-150 RS... NASDAQ stock.

It will be more than that.
Insurers could face losses of up to $4 billion after Baltimore bridge tragedy, analyst says

JPMorgan Chase & Co. Chief Executive Jamie Dimon said Thursday that “happy talk” is driving stocks higher but that he’s sticking to his view that the odds of a soft landing for the U.S. economy are about half of what markets expect.
“I’m worried,” Dimon said in a Bloomberg TV interview posted on X. “Stocks are very high. I think the chances of inflation staying higher, rates going up higher, are greater than people think. My view is, whatever the world is pricing in for a soft landing, I think it’s probably half that.” -- MarketWatch
NSAV claiming $204M in revenue, tossing it all under "crypto" on the balance sheet, nothing documenting what it is, and has $63 in cash and owes over $9M of accrued wages... you'd think they could sell a coin or two and pay somebody...
The Dow Jones Industrial Average has just crossed the 40,000-point threshold for the first time, the latest milestone in the bull market for U.S. stocks that began in October 2022.
Buffet? An insurance company? Why am I not surprised.....
Berkshire reveals mystery position: $6.7B stake in Insuror Chubb. Chubb stock jumped in after-hours trading, adding as much as 9.9%. Chubb insured Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge, which collapsed when a cargo ship slammed into it in late March. It’s reportedly set to pay out $350 million to the state of Maryland.
FWIW Shelly returns mine as well the rare time I have an issue with a deletion. And there are times when she'll delete a post of mine and PM me the reason ahead of time.
Anyone for some acid? LSDI 1.7 Million shares o/s up 300% Pm on 20 Millions shares traded
At least Admin Meghan always returned my PMs promptly. I don’t know what’s up with Shelly except that she is overwhelmed doing the work of four
I concur..The remaining admin is very, very far from impartial, consistent, or balanced. Or responsive.
IMO, ADVFN terminated the wrong admin (Meghan).
(I'd post this on the Q and A board, butt she (Shelly) banned me from that board last year.)
I suggest you stay on topic.
Your claim was that Elon didn't allow free speech for people who disagreed with him, so by your own definition you're the one who is confused.
I hope this helps.
"White supremacist" is scarcely new. The number of people who claim to adhere to it as a way to make themselves look at least minimally smart are on the increase.
I personally believe it's very said that the only thing they think makes them as superior as they'd like to feel is the color of their skin. They should be embarrassed. Pathetic.
It's an over played, incorrectly used word like racist and white supremacist. You can throw in a bunch of other words and newly created words as well..lol. It's the current mentality of society...that being dumb as a rock.
It's like when people say that we here in the United States live in a democracy...instead of a Republic with democratic system. Of course that term as well is overplayed and corrupted(especially other nations). You can go on and on....
ok, I did earlier...
Let's take it to the Q&A board.
thanks. The issue was on one board only. I had the occasional removal from a mod and sometimes I questioned and sometimes it was recovered, but my issue is that I had few removals overall until one night I had 2 removals. I got a warning the next morning which I never saw. (I think notifications should be in the form of an email or something that make it more likely the user will see it). The admin apparently watched my posting very carefully that day and was imo exceedingly particular in removing for very minor infractions during the day with a couple of different posters (nothing close to what the board 'norm' is btw - and I do think that is relevant) and then by the end of the day she decided I wasn't heeded the warning (which I hadn't seen) and so I was restricted to one post a day...2 1/2 months ago
When I reached out after discovering the restriction I explained that I was surprised since I had had only 1 other removal nearly 2 weeks prior and had I seen the warning I would have been more careful during the day. Not even a terse 'you were warned, you continued to violate' response. SO I don't know if that was the reason or not. Shelly and I had never had a bad interaction out of the few we ever even had, but she continued to ignore me when I inquired several more times - including an apology and promise to be better, as well as a request to know if the restriction was for other reasons. While I was very surprised at the initial restriction in the first place, it is the ghosting that surprises me the most. I have sent several requests for clarification since that date and even one to Dave. All were ignored. I can only assume they simply see me as a pest but I was polite from the get go and have continued to be. It is only after all this time that I decided to post and see if ghosting is normal here?
Are you confusing board mods with admins? There is really only one admin left, and that is Shelly. Dave sometimes pitches in to help. It sounds to me as if your real problem is that for one reason or another, on a specific board you're having a lot of posts deleted by a mod.
You then reacted by escalating the situation in your replies, and had more posts deleted on that board.
So finally Shelly did get involved, perhaps, and sent you messages you missed because you didn't read them or look for them. And you got a posting restriction.
Or maybe not, because you seem to be able to post here without impediment. Are you just saying you have a posting restriction on that particular board?
At least 90% of the people who use the term "communist" have no idea what the word means.
At least.
do you call everyone who disagrees with you a "white supremacist?"
God forbid I come to her defense but the answer is no. I disagree with her all the time on a variety of subjects but no she has not used that term.
As for Musk as I have stated he says what ever he wants since he can afford to get away with it. He simply doesn't care about his image or X or anything else.
The guy is a narcissist.
Christ on a crutch you're a real charmer...
I try to go the extra mile. I think you, like your hero, fail to understand what "free speech" is. It has nothing to do with commercial websites allowing members to say whatever they want. It has to do with governments suppressing dissent.
At least 90% of the people who post smug things like this have never read gulag archipelago and really shouldn't be participating in conversations about the nature of Communism and Free speech
Christ on a crutch you're a real charmer do you call everyone who disagrees with you a "white supremacist?" That's basically your childish position on Elon Musk, and then you falsely claimed he doesn't let anyone who has an opinion who disagrees with him free speech which is an embarrassingly incorrect position.

Stock Dilution Scam:
A share dilution scam happens when a company, typically traded in unregulated markets such as the OTC Bulletin Board and the Pink Sheets, repeatedly issues a massive amount of shares into the market for no reason, considerably devaluing share prices until they become almost worthless, causing huge losses to shareholders. Then, after share prices are at or near the minimum price a stock can trade and the share float has increased to an unsustainable level, those fraudulent companies tend to reverse split and continue repeating the same scheme.
Pump and Dump Schemes:
"Pump and dump" schemes, also known as "hype and dump manipulation," involve the touting of a company's stock (typically microcap companies) through false and misleading statements to the marketplace. After pumping the stock, fraudsters make huge profits by selling their cheap stock into the market.
Pump and dump schemes often occur on the Internet where it is common to see messages posted that urge readers to buy a stock quickly or to sell before the price goes down, or a telemarketer will call using the same sort of pitch. Often the promoters will claim to have "inside" information about an impending development or to use an "infallible" combination of economic and stock market data to pick stocks. In reality, they may be company insiders or paid promoters who stand to gain by selling their shares after the stock price is "pumped" up by the buying frenzy they create. Once these fraudsters "dump" their shares and stop hyping the stock, the price typically falls, and investors lose their money.
http://www.sec.gov/answers/pumpdump.htm
The key is understanding
The key is understanding that pink sheet stocks are not investments - 99% of them will lose value over the long run and never accomplish most of their forward looking pumping statements they put in press releases or on their websites. Never believe the hype - always be skeptical of everything you hear.
The people mostly making money with pink sheet stocks are promoters, front loading pumpers with big followings they can dump on, crooks, some of the flippers, and sometimes the very lucky.
Pumpers only tell you to buy stocks that they already own. Pumpers only tell you to hold stocks because they want to make sure you hold longer than them.
They make money by pumping the stock and getting other people to buy then dumping their shares on the followers.
If you really want to take the risk of trying to make money trading pink sheet companies then you have to understand how the game works and never ever hold long term - take profits when you can. Pump and Dumps dominate the IHUB forums.
Trading pink sheet stocks is a sick game full of lies and deceit where people take advantage of the inexperienced and naive stealing away their life savings for their own personal gains.
Very little respect or morals exist in stinky pinky land.
