Picking great companies for the long run

[SailorRob]

I looked at Berkshire Hathaway Inc Class A stocks.

Current trading price: around 487,000.00 USD
Traded in 1995: around 17000 USD
Traded in 2000: around 60000 USD
Traded in 2020: around 300,000.00 USD
Line is straight up From 2020 to 2022 and smashed 500,000 USD

Curent PE ratio: 93.52

Good companies have appreciated behind their true business value. As value investors we should find out stocks which are trading below the intrinsic value. It is true Berkshire Hathaway is a great business but it’s extremely over valued for me now.

I believe there could be pull back or correction in this stock. Even if it drops I can only buy very tiny fraction of that company as 100 shares of Berkshire cost lot. Rather better try another strong company. Next decade is belongs to the long-term investor and value investor.

Jesus christ Valuegrowth,

You are taking the piss right?

Berkshire PE is around 12.5

Cheapest it basically ever gets and at least 20% below intrinsic value.

The share price is a little over $300.

I honestly don't know if you are a serious poster or not, I have no clue.

Here I was thinking BRK was undervalued when you consider owner earnings.[/QUOTE]


Do you think he/she is serious??

If so, WOW. I mean WOW.

No wonder we can make money in the markets!

Now give us an analysis of the PE ratio.

If it's 93, what was it in 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022.

Interesting.

Went from 5 to 0 to 9 and then to 92.

All in the last 3 years.

Very interesting.

So it's gone from a supreme value stock to one of most overpriced companies in the world and everywhere in between all within 3 years.

I am perplexed.

[Valuegrowth]

In my view, next 8 quartes are going to be very cruical for assets markets. The best place to park money now is overlooked undervalued stocks(not value traps).Besides I prefer to be in the market all the time unless I need some funds for urgent matters.

Lol I noticed that too. At a P/E of 0 its being given away for free! Not to be rude Valuegrowth but perhaps you should consider allocating a large proportion of your portfolio towards low cost index funds if you cannot see stuff like this straight away.
