Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.B -0.3%) is the outlier among large financial firms today, falling just a hair as Warren Buffett's bid for the shares likely sits right underneath. "(The) moral of the story continues to be that if companies are public about supporting stocks with buybacks, they won't fall," tweets Conor Sen.

Looking like Berkshire overpaid for those IBM, INTC and other recent equity purchases now. But Warren doesn't care as he can hold them for long enough to get back to even again.

I think not on IBM anyway, Buffet was buying at 160's still up about 20%.

Berkshire Hathaway spent $10,856,000,000 purchasing 63,905,931 shares of IBM, which equals $170 per share on Buffett's IBM stock. If IBM falls another $20, I will be buying IBM and following the giant.
