**Added to $BRK.B — A Business Worth Owning**
I purchased 35 shares of Berkshire Hathaway Class B this morning at $471.51 per share, representing a total commitment of roughly $16,500, or about 16.5% of the portfolio. That is a meaningful allocation, and I want to explain my thinking.
**The Thesis**
Berkshire is not a complicated story. It is a collection of durable, cash-generating businesses overseen by disciplined capital allocators with a long track record of rational decision-making. The insurance float provides a structural financing advantage that most competitors simply cannot replicate. BNSF, GEICO, Berkshire Hathaway Energy, and the equity portfolio collectively produce enormous earnings power across varying economic conditions. You are not betting on a product cycle or a management turnaround. You are buying a compounding machine with a fortress balance sheet.
**Entry Rationale**
At this price, Berkshire trades at a modest premium to book value and a reasonable multiple to normalized earnings. The company's own buyback activity in recent years has consistently demonstrated that management views these levels as sensible. When the people running a business are buying it back at similar prices, that carries information worth respecting.
**Exit Plan**
I do not have a price target in the traditional sense. This is intended as a long-duration holding. I would consider trimming if the position grows to an uncomfortable concentration through appreciation, or if the valuation stretched to a level that meaningfully exceeded intrinsic value growth. Absent those circumstances, my intention is simply to hold and let the underlying businesses do their work.
**Position Sizing Note**
At 16.5% this is my largest single holding. I am comfortable with that given the diversification embedded within Berkshire itself. It functions
