How do you determine the "increase"? Do you consider the dividend to increase if the amount increased compared to the previous period or the comparable period?

I purchased one share of Berkshire for $ 3,200 in 1987 (the now "A" issue) and at the time ,if I remember correctly the price to value based upon my calculation was greater then compared to now. Thus my previous comment is actually looking forward. it is a better buy today relative to my purchase in 1987.

If I understand your investment process, you will only invest in those companies that have more cash than market cap. Without the liability part of the balance sheet, you may run into a problem. Thus, GM has 19.5 b in cash vs its market cap of 1.76 b.

Excellent review. I agree with your value. Thanks for taking the time and sharing your knowledge with us Instead of "drill-drill-drill" I think it is time to "buy-buy-buy". As an owner since 1987 I find todays Berkshire price to value compelling . it is time again to add this to the portfolio.
