Who can explain BRK.A ripping to the upside this quarter?

Are the charts you posted all of equal time on the X-axis, and of same bar type? I.E. dailes, hourlies, etc? Are they all equal?

 

Yes, they are all equal. Weekly charts.

 

BRK is an insurance company not a mutual fund. Maybe take a look at earnings

 

Well then maybe someone has just been buying up BRK.A shares, regardless of the underlying. The thing is less liquid than CME forward cattle futures.

What do they average. 1K shares per day volume?

Here it says his holdings in OXY is $7 billion. BRKA is worth $300 billion, so that means OXY, which has been ripping this quarter, is only 2% of his holdings.

 

Here are more of BRKA's holdings

Imagine what would happen if he did a 10,000:1 stock split on the A shares. Lol, would be chaos.

 

From the link above, it shows this (below):

Which means this: BRKA is worth $300 billion, and $250 billion is accounted for in these four stocks:



KO is up 3% this quarter, BAC is down 3% this quarter, and AXP is up 10% this quarter.
And of course AAPL is down 10% this quarter (50% of his portfolio).
So no, I cannot figure out why BRKA is up 15% this quarter, lol.
80% of his portfolio is represented above, and it's not doing great at all,
so why is BRKA up 15%? Very confusing to me.

 

Why would it be chaos after a 10000:1 split?, the split stock would trade like any other high volume $50 stock.

 

Because when was the last time a $500,000 stock was suddenly available to Reddit users on the cheap? Imagine the volatility and the volume boost. And the whole IV thing! Just wow.
