    now whether it will reach that market cap, or the company will be broken up before that due to anti-trust, that's a separate issue.

    but on the valuation alone, how do you counter my argument regarding the yield spread? don't bother trying lol.... I had this thread 3.5 years ago - 'are we gonna run out of shares'... that's the kind of vision you need, and if you commit money to that vision, you get rich.

    actually in practice it will be more than $500, after so many rounds of buy back, the EPS will likely be even higher than today, so we are talking $600-700 a share when all is said and done.

    and that is assuming the earnings stay put! imagine at the end of the day, when the yield gap finally disappears, another 50% earnings growth for the company? now we are talking $1000/share?

    I have talked about super cycles and financial freedom before.... without vision you end up like 99% of the crowd, who try to grind for 25 cents a trade, with ATR or support/resistence/trendlines etc etc bs lol.

    Hindsight is always 20/20.

    Once upon a time I bought 10 BRK shares (no B share then) for $2000 a share. Sold a few years later when BRK reached $4000 a share. :banghead:

    and those people who think they'll wait for 50% decline and get in at a good price, are totally delusional...

    look - if you missed the bull for so many years, that means your judgement of the market is really bad... ok? then what makes you think, that next time when it sells off 50%, and mind you those people who got in in the first place, by being smarter than you, and now they are selling it down by 50%, and all of a sudden now you are smarter than them? and gonna pick up shares at good price now?... what makes you think that those people who were smarter than you in the bull run, all of a sudden become more stupid than you? have you thought about the possibility that they are still smarter than you? and the market is going down 80%?

    see - delusional and stupid people will stay delusional and stupid.

    just accept fate.

    lol.

    We traders are effectively market timers. :p

    Re: BRK, I was told by my broker that you couldn't lose money by taking profit, especially since I already doubled my money. :mad:

    Decided to stay short NQ over the weekend because I like pain.

    Not a bad plan at ATH. I've been burned a few times going long at ATH on overnight holds. Unless Trump tweets that all tariffs are now gone on, like, Sunday? That would be bad for bears.
