Berkshire Hathaway trading at low of the day after market was up over 900 points yesterday. Wonder what the big boys know that we don't know?

Seems strange. If it was so good yesterday, why down a good bit today and BKR.A down so much? Hmmm???

In fact BRK.A closed down -$4200 per share. Guess people who can afford that know something all of the little guys don’t know.

What is the percentage drop. Raw numbers don’t matter when you don’t know the going price.

At $258,700 per share, I’m sure most of the owners can withstand a single day $4200 drop (only 1.60%)

I know that, but that is a lot of Berkshire to be down. The point is, what drove the market up over 900 points yesterday and things should be good and then BRK.A drops that much. Only entities with incredible research teams buy BRK.A. It’s a valid reference point.

1.5%. Overall though BRK.A has been lagging the broader market significantly though.

Something like a 1.3% drop.

I have been noticing that. It is a good reference point to watch seeing that the research teams behind ownership in that would be thoroughly connected to valid information.

Down 1.6% is not a big move.

I realize that. I guess I am unable to make my point. Later fellas.

It’s probably Trump’s fault. I’m not sure how, but everything bad is Trump’s fault. That’s what the media has been telling me, anyway.

I wouldn’t read too much into a single day drop. The stock is still up $4200 dollars since Friday’s opening.

Buffett wants to tank the market, maybe?
