Berkshire Hathaway, Inc. (BRK-A)

CAPS Rating:

A holding company owning subsidiaries engaged in a number of diverse business activities, including property and casualty insurance and reinsurance, utilities and energy, finance, manufacturing, retailing and services.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other members to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

Recs 0 (BRK-A) dswinters (93.83) Submitted: 2/09/10 10:43 AM : Start Price: $108990.00 BRK-A Score: 21.95 Company has had an unreal run, but the growth story is coming to an end. Value is still at around 70% of book, but the cash flow is great. Dividend will likely come into play soon because the excess cash will be very hard to put to work if the economy sees an upswing.
