$Berkshire Hathaway(BRK.B)$  Correction seems to be on support at around $448 right now. Short term rebounce might come soon. If it drops more, low $400 might comes in.

Despite recent market fluctuations, particularly the S&P 500's dip from record highs in July, the overall outlook suggests a tempered, risk-aware approach rather than alarm. U.S. Market Valuations: Balancing Uncertainty  The Goldman team, led by Christian Mueller-Glissmann, notes that while valuations remain elevated and growth prospects mixed, policy un
