Previously, workers were told production would likely resume on Friday, when the first phase of the lockdown was supposed to end.</p><p>Shanghai locked down the east of the city for four days on Monday to conduct mass testing to combat a Covid outbreak that’s turned it into China’s biggest virus hotspot. The western part of the city was due to be locked down from Friday, but authorities said late Wednesday they will adopt “static management” of the city, a phrase used by Chinese officials in other parts of the country to mean a strict lockdown in which residents are barred from leaving their homes.</p><p>Tesla told all employees to stay home and abide by community orders, except for workers on emergency duty, the people said. The decision is “in accordance to the latest Covid prevention requirements of the Shanghai government” according to a company memo seen by Bloomberg News. It earlier also surveyed staff on their willingness to stay in the factory to allow so-called closed-loop production -- where workers are effectively kept in a bubble and tested frequently -- if it was able to resume operations Friday, the people said.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2e8e9727ee2215be4c83a07e12b937a1\" tg-width=\"1000\" tg-height=\"666\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>The Tesla Gigafactory in Shanghai.Photographer: Qilai Shen/Bloomberg</span></p><p>The first Gigafactory outside Tesla’s home country produced half of the electric carmaker’s vehicles last year and had to suspend production for two days earlier this month. The companysaidat the time that it was making its “best effort” to ensure production could continue at the plant, while “actively cooperating with the government’s order for Covid tests and relevant pandemic prevention measures.”</p><p>The Shanghai factory is crucial for Tesla, considering China is the company’s second-largest market and the plant builds cars for export to Europe and elsewhere in Asia.

Previously, workers were told production would likely resume on Friday, when the first phase of the lockdown was supposed to end.Shanghai locked down the east of the city for four days on Monday to conduct mass testing to combat a Covid outbreak that’s turned it into China’s biggest virus hotspot. The western part of the city was due to be locked down from Friday, but authorities said late Wednesday they will adopt “static management” of the city, a phrase used by Chinese officials in other parts of the country to mean a strict lockdown in which residents are barred from leaving their homes.Tesla told all employees to stay home and abide by community orders, except for workers on emergency duty, the people said. The decision is “in accordance to the latest Covid prevention requirements of the Shanghai government” according to a company memo seen by Bloomberg News. It earlier also surveyed staff on their willingness to stay in the factory to allow so-called closed-loop production -- where workers are effectively kept in a bubble and tested frequently -- if it was able to resume operations Friday, the people said.The Tesla Gigafactory in Shanghai.Photographer: Qilai Shen/BloombergThe first Gigafactory outside Tesla’s home country produced half of the electric carmaker’s vehicles last year and had to suspend production for two days earlier this month. The companysaidat the time that it was making its “best effort” to ensure production could continue at the plant, while “actively cooperating with the government’s order for Covid tests and relevant pandemic prevention measures.”The Shanghai factory is crucial for Tesla, considering China is the company’s second-largest market and the plant builds cars for export to Europe and elsewhere in Asia. The China Passenger Car Association earlier this month reported that Tesla delivered 56,515 cars from the factory in February alone -- 23,200 for the domestic market and 33,315 for export.Elon Musk, Tesla’s chief executive officer, famously resisted California health regulators’ efforts to keep a U.S. factory closed during the early days of the pandemic.

The company’s trailing 12-month operating loss through September was 2.98 billion Chinese Yuan ($470 million). It’s expected to lose more in the fourth quarter. On March 23, NIO stock was down 31% year-to-date (YTD).</p><p>If you’ve followed Nio for more than a year, it shouldn’t surprise you that Nio will lose money in 2021. Analysts expect it to lose 1.03 Chinese Yuan (16 cents) per share in 2022. That’s $264 million (based on 1.65 billion American depositary shares), which means its losses have probably plateaued.</p><p>Investors should expect profits in 2023.</p><p>However, even though the business looks like its pathway to profitability is moving ahead, any negative surprises when it reports will likely knock its shares into the teens, where it traded in early March.</p><p>Despite the fact I believe Nio’s got an excellent future, I would wait until after Nio reports Q4 2021 results to buy Nio stock.</p><p>As I’ve said in the past, if a stock is destined for glory, buying after it’s jumped on positive news won’t be a bad thing in the long run.</p><p>Here’s why investors should keep their dry powder ready.</p><h2>Nio Will Soon Have Four Vehicles</h2><p>Deliveries for the company’s ET7 sedan are expected to start in China on March 28. That would be Nio’s fourth vehicle after the ES8, ES6, and EC6. In the first two months of 2022, Nio sold 2,615 ES8, 8,556 ES6, and 4,612 EC6. That’s 15,783 vehicles, 23.3% higher than a year earlier.</p><p>The ES8 is already on sale in Norway, and according to InsideEVs, it’s already launched its first battery swap station in the country. So it’s only a matter of time before Europe is crawling with Nio’s.</p><p>Thanks to the launch of the ET7, Credit Suisse analyst Bun Wang predicts that Nio will deliver 150,000 units in 2022, 64% higher than in 2021. The ET7 will have a big part to play in this growth.</p><p>Despite having four vehicles in play, investors continue to have a negative view of the company’s stock. NIO is down almost 40% year-to-date.</p><p>There are a couple of reasons for investor skepticism.</p><p>First, inflation has hit EV companies. The price of metals that go into EV batteries are up 60% in 2022. That’s going to delay Nio’s pathway to profitability. The second problem is that U.S. investors don’t want to buy Nio shares in New York if it’s only delisted down the road because of poor relations with China.</p><p>Nio can only play the cards it’s dealt.

The company’s trailing 12-month operating loss through September was 2.98 billion Chinese Yuan ($470 million). It’s expected to lose more in the fourth quarter. On March 23, NIO stock was down 31% year-to-date (YTD).If you’ve followed Nio for more than a year, it shouldn’t surprise you that Nio will lose money in 2021. Analysts expect it to lose 1.03 Chinese Yuan (16 cents) per share in 2022. That’s $264 million (based on 1.65 billion American depositary shares), which means its losses have probably plateaued.Investors should expect profits in 2023.However, even though the business looks like its pathway to profitability is moving ahead, any negative surprises when it reports will likely knock its shares into the teens, where it traded in early March.Despite the fact I believe Nio’s got an excellent future, I would wait until after Nio reports Q4 2021 results to buy Nio stock.As I’ve said in the past, if a stock is destined for glory, buying after it’s jumped on positive news won’t be a bad thing in the long run.Here’s why investors should keep their dry powder ready.Nio Will Soon Have Four VehiclesDeliveries for the company’s ET7 sedan are expected to start in China on March 28. That would be Nio’s fourth vehicle after the ES8, ES6, and EC6. In the first two months of 2022, Nio sold 2,615 ES8, 8,556 ES6, and 4,612 EC6. That’s 15,783 vehicles, 23.3% higher than a year earlier.The ES8 is already on sale in Norway, and according to InsideEVs, it’s already launched its first battery swap station in the country. So it’s only a matter of time before Europe is crawling with Nio’s.Thanks to the launch of the ET7, Credit Suisse analyst Bun Wang predicts that Nio will deliver 150,000 units in 2022, 64% higher than in 2021. The ET7 will have a big part to play in this growth.Despite having four vehicles in play, investors continue to have a negative view of the company’s stock. NIO is down almost 40% year-to-date.There are a couple of reasons for investor skepticism.First, inflation has hit EV companies. The price of metals that go into EV batteries are up 60% in 2022. That’s going to delay Nio’s pathway to profitability. The second problem is that U.S. investors don’t want to buy Nio shares in New York if it’s only delisted down the road because of poor relations with China.Nio can only play the cards it’s dealt. But, so far, it’s doing a darn good job.Analysts Really Like Nio StockOn March 21, according to Barron’s, Deutsche Bank (NYSE:DB) analyst Edison Yu had this to say about Nio in a note to clients leading up to its Q4 2021 earnings:The ‘tide may finally be turning,’ wrote Yu. ‘While volumes have stagnated over the past few quarters due to operational bottlenecks, we think deliveries are on track to increase from [10,000 a month to 25,000] exiting the year which will shift the narrative away from supply constraints to product cycle’The reality is that more than 90% of the analysts covering NIO stock rate it a “Buy.” The average for the S&P 500 is just 58%. Further, the average target price for Nio is $50, more than double where it currently trades.NIO stock has been trading so poorly in 2022 that Yu cut his price target by $20 for Nio to $50. His target price is about the average of the consensus estimate.On March 10, InvestorPlace’s Mark Hake suggested Nio stock could be worth at least $33.72 based on its sales forecasts. Hake points out that NIO trades for just 3x the analyst estimate for 2022 sales, about one-third the price-to-sales multiple of Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA). As a result, Hake believes Nio should be valued at more than $50 billion.I’m with my InvestorPlace colleague. Regardless of what analysts think, NIO stock is cheap right now.Nio’s Growth Versus TeslaI don’t think there’s any doubt that TSLA stock should be valued more than Nio.However, Nio is expected to have sales of $5.61 billion in 2021 and $9.93 billion in 2022.

While higher oil prices benefit energy shares, they are a negative for consumers and many businesses. The S&P 500 energy sector    rose 1.7% and utilities    gained 0.2%, while all of the other major S&P 500 sectors were lower on the day.\"These geopolitical problems are sort of hanging over the market,\" said Stephen Massocca, senior vice president at Wedbush Securities in San Francisco.\"The resurgence of oil prices is giving people pause,\" he said, adding, \"There needs to be a resolution with Russia.

Furthermore, the market is under-pricing the chance of Disney+ achieving its FY2024 targets, which in my view, is becoming much more achievable with the current roadmap.</li><li>Sports could be an interesting bright spot for Disney as ESPN could leverage on its huge scale to enter sports betting, which is what many of its ESPN consumers want.</li><li>Parks segment will see a strong recovery in FY2022 due to increasing domestic and international guests at its attractions as travel resumes and heads back towards pre-COVID times.</li></ol><p>Overview</p><p>When looking at Disney, it&#39;s important to note the revenue mix of the company. There are two main segments to Disney:</p><ol><li>Disney Media &amp; Entertainment Distribution (DMED) segment which makes up 75% of revenues in 2021. This segment was formed in 2020 as part of Disney&#39;s reorganisation of its media and entertainment business and as it focuses more on the segment. This segment includes streaming services,, linear and syndicated television networks. This includes the direct-to-consumer units like Disney+, Hotstar, ESPN, Hulu</li><li>Disney Parks, Experiences &amp; Products (DPEP) segment which makes up 25% of revenues in 2021. This is Disney&#39;s most iconic travel and leisure business which includes its 6 resort destinations in the United States, Europe and Asia, as well as its cruise line.</li></ol><p>However, the revenue mix in FY2020 and FY2021, in my opinion, is more skewed towards DMED segment due to the huge impact on DPEP segment as the COVID 19 pandemic struck in 2020 and the impacts continued to linger in 2021. Of course, there is also the trend of fast growing DMED segment due to the increasing penetration of Disney&#39;s DTC streaming services like Disney+</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/85405b7865b0cfd86dacf33622d3fdb2\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"184\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Revenue mix and growth of Disney (Disney Annual Reports)</span></p><p>When looking at the operating income mix, I think it is quite clear that the DPEP segment has not just seen a decline in revenues, but also margin reduction due to the low volumes in its parks and attractions. That said, at pre-COVID levels, the DPEP segment was one of the more profitable segments at around 27% operating margins. In my opinion, it is a matter of time before Disney&#39;s DPEP segment operating margins will normalise as customers return to its parks.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7cde9d56416980fbbade8ae8f921bbbd\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"233\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Disney Operating Income Mix and Growth (Disney Annual Reports)</span></p><p><b>Disney+ is well positioned for the future</b></p><p>With net adds to Disney+ subs being 11.8 million in 1QFY22, this beat on consensus shows me that the market may perhaps be underpricing the probability of Disney+ achieving its long term 2024 target of achieving 230 million to 260 million subscribers.</p><p>Furthermore, what makes me more optimistic about Disney+ is the strong slate of marquee content coming in 2QF22 and beyond.</p><p>Overall, Disney is almost doubling the amount or original content from its marquee brands in Disney+ in FY2022, with most of these titles coming online in 2HFY22, particularly between July and September. In 2QF22, Pixar will release <i>Turning Red</i> (11 March) and Marvel releases <i>Moon Knight</i> (30 March).</p><p>More highly anticipated releases in 3QF22 and after will include 2 new Star Wars series <i>Andor</i> (To be announced) and <i>Obi-Wan Kenobi</i> (25 March), new Marvel series <i>Ms. Marvel</i> (To be announced) and <i>She-Hulk</i> (To be announced), a live-action <i>Pinocchio</i>(To be announced) starring Tom Hanks, and <i>Hocus Pocus 2</i> (FY2023).</p><p>Management reiterated that they have more than 340 local original titles in various stages of development and production for their DTC platforms over the next few years. Local content offerings are also increasing in Asia, India, Europe, and LatAm in FY2022, with the majority of those titles releasing in F2H22.</p><p>In my opinion, this will be a pivotal moment for Disney+ as 4QFY22 will be the first time in Disney+ history that the company will be releasing original content throughout the quarter from all of Disney, Marvel, Star Wars, Pixar, and Nat Geo.</p><p>Although there could be some risk of subs deceleration in 2QFY22 due to the back end weighted content in the second half of the year. That said, the focus should really be on 2HFY22 as, in my opinion, there could be meaningfully much higher net adds to subscriber base, partly due to content release schedule in 2HFY22, and also the international launches happening as Disney+ expands its reach globally.</p><p>In the 1QFY22 management call, management emphasised Disney+&#39;s expansion globally. In FY2022, the company plans on bringing Disney+ to more than 50 more countries. This includes countries in Central Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and South Africa.</p><p>In total, management has plans to more than double the number of markets Disney+ is in now from 80 currently to more than 160 markets by FY2023. I would expect that the initial impact of these planned market launches will be most evident in F3Q22. As such, I am of the opinion that we will continue to see quarter over quarter improvements in Disney+ net adds from 8 million net adds in 2QFY22, to 12 million net adds in 3QFY22.</p><p><b>Sports could be a future bright spot</b></p><p>In the November 10 2021 earnings call, Bob Chapek, CEO of Disney, said that the company will expand into sports betting through ESPN. Although this may not sound like anything new, this is the first time ESPN&#39;s parent company, Disney, acknowledged that sports betting will be beneficial to the parent company and will not affect Disney&#39;s brand. This sets a clear signal that the top management in Disney is giving the go ahead to go deeper and bigger into the world of sports betting.</p><p>In fact, sports betting has been something the company has been dipping its toes into. In 2020, ESPN got into an agreement with both Caesars Entertainment and DraftKings to link to their sportsbooks from</p><p>There were talks in August 2021 about ESPN, at that time, was in discussions to potentially explore a brand licensing deal with DraftKings or Caesars Entertainment for $3 billion.</p><p>Bob Chapek mentioned that the company wants to have a greater presence in online sports betting and can leverage on ESPN&#39;s reach and scale to partner with 3rd parties in the sports betting space.</p><p>In my opinion, this could help Disney create brand new revenue streams and bring growth to ESPN, especially as ESPN advertising revenues were flat in the 4th quarter of 2021 when compared to the same quarter a year before. However, its streaming service EPSN+ grew subscribers by 66% over the year and almost 90% of the most watched broadcasts on Disney&#39;s owned TV networks were sports events. Thus, I think that to leverage on this strength that Disney has would make lots of sense not just for ESPN, but for Disney as a whole.</p><p>In addition, the move to sports betting would also attract and retain a younger audience and keep the momentum growing for ESPN. Furthermore, it is noted by Chapel that the consumer wants to have sports betting and to meet the needs of the ESPN customers, Disney needs to move into sports betting or risk missing a great opportunity or even being irrelevant in the future.</p><p><b>Recovery of parks will bring huge revenue and operating income upside</b></p><p>In 1QFY22, the Parks segment saw a material beat in revenues and operating incomes which in my view is a sign that we could be seeing structurally stronger growth rates in revenue as well as operating margins normalisation as international parks and domestic parks fully open and as travel returns to pre-pandemic levels.</p><p>Although there were lower attendance than 2019, Parks revenue and operating income matched pre-pandemic levels due to the higher yield benefits with per cap spending up more than 40% compared to 1QFY19.</p><p>Furthermore, based on the latest results, trends in attendance at Disney&#39;s domestic parks have continued to increase as Walt Disney World and Disneyland 1QFY22 attendance was up double digits compared to that of 4QFY21. This was likely also reflecting the seasonality effects of the holiday season.</p><p>Moving forward, although there is likely to be continued impact from COVID in the form of volatility, Disney&#39;s domestic parks will likely see continued strong demand from domestic guests while international parks will likely see a surge in demand in the latter half of the year. This is due to the increased closures like that of Hong Kong Disneyland currently being temporarily closed.</p><p>For my longer term forecasts, I believe that we could see per caps spending sustain above pre-COVID levels and thus this will drive higher margins for the segment. Driven by huge volume and customer growth both from domestic and international guests, the recovery in Disney&#39;s Parks segment will be significant in FY2022.</p><p><b>Valuation</b></p><p>Based on above points mentioned, I developed a financial model for Disney to come up with a valuation using sum of the parts (SOTP) valuation of the different segments. Due to the currently unprofitable nature of DTC, this was forecasted using longer term DCF model for the DTC segment.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/592ec77a3e6703ec77a973ea2f37ec2d\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"267\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>SOTP Valuation of Disney (Author generated model)</span></p><p>Based on the SOTP valuation, I derived a target price of $197, and there is a 43% upside potential for Disney based on current price levels.</p><p>Looking to relative valuation, when comparing Disney with Netflix (NFLX), one of Disney&#39;s competitors in the streaming services market, the forward P/E ratios of both companies are somewhat similar at about 31x to 32x 1 year forward P/E.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9bba2de777172d857327f65f1635488c\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"433\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Data by YCharts</span></p><p>However, as highlighted in earlier sections, Disney&#39;s growth is likely to be higher than that of Netflix due to the higher growth from DPEP segment as travel recovers, and also from DMED segment as Disney+ content releases bring in record numbers of net adds and subscribers. As can be seen below, although Disney&#39;s revenues plunged in 2020, its starting to show faster growth in 2021 as it continues to recover from the COVID situation.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3b539d4941a78dc5366d8a9b95abaa13\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"433\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Data by YCharts</span></p><p><b>Risks</b></p><p><b>Competition</b></p><p>We are seeing increased competition in the streaming space. Although Disney has a strong franchise of brands in Disney+, competitors like Netflix, Apple TV (AAPL) and Amazon Prime Video (AMZN) could significantly increase content and marketing trend, competing for the same eyeballs for streaming services and thereby restricting Disney&#39;s subscriber and margin growth.</p><p><b>COVID related risks</b></p><p>As Disney&#39;s traditional travel and leisure Parks business is very susceptible to global travel and tourism trends, any increase in COVID related measures in any geographies that Disney&#39;s parks are operating in could result in slower than expected recovery.</p><p><b>Conclusion</b></p><p>All in all, there is a good risk reward investment opportunity for Disney at the current levels. With Parks segment set to see margin improvement to above pre-COVID levels as well as see traffic return, this will bring about a huge growth in revenues and profits from the profitable parks business. Furthermore, Disney continues to execute well in its streaming business, with 2HFY22 being a very exciting time for Disney+ as it rolls out to more markets and as it releases much more original marquee content that could reach a wide range of audiences. Based on SOTP valuation, my target price for Disney is $197, implying 43% upside from current levels, which is an attractive investment opportunity in my view.</p></body></html>","source":"seekingalpha","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

Furthermore, the market is under-pricing the chance of Disney+ achieving its FY2024 targets, which in my view, is becoming much more achievable with the current roadmap.Sports could be an interesting bright spot for Disney as ESPN could leverage on its huge scale to enter sports betting, which is what many of its ESPN consumers want.Parks segment will see a strong recovery in FY2022 due to increasing domestic and international guests at its attractions as travel resumes and heads back towards pre-COVID times.OverviewWhen looking at Disney, it's important to note the revenue mix of the company. There are two main segments to Disney:Disney Media & Entertainment Distribution (DMED) segment which makes up 75% of revenues in 2021. This segment was formed in 2020 as part of Disney's reorganisation of its media and entertainment business and as it focuses more on the segment. This segment includes streaming services,, linear and syndicated television networks. This includes the direct-to-consumer units like Disney+, Hotstar, ESPN, HuluDisney Parks, Experiences & Products (DPEP) segment which makes up 25% of revenues in 2021. This is Disney's most iconic travel and leisure business which includes its 6 resort destinations in the United States, Europe and Asia, as well as its cruise line.However, the revenue mix in FY2020 and FY2021, in my opinion, is more skewed towards DMED segment due to the huge impact on DPEP segment as the COVID 19 pandemic struck in 2020 and the impacts continued to linger in 2021. Of course, there is also the trend of fast growing DMED segment due to the increasing penetration of Disney's DTC streaming services like Disney+Revenue mix and growth of Disney (Disney Annual Reports)When looking at the operating income mix, I think it is quite clear that the DPEP segment has not just seen a decline in revenues, but also margin reduction due to the low volumes in its parks and attractions. That said, at pre-COVID levels, the DPEP segment was one of the more profitable segments at around 27% operating margins. In my opinion, it is a matter of time before Disney's DPEP segment operating margins will normalise as customers return to its parks.Disney Operating Income Mix and Growth (Disney Annual Reports)Disney+ is well positioned for the futureWith net adds to Disney+ subs being 11.8 million in 1QFY22, this beat on consensus shows me that the market may perhaps be underpricing the probability of Disney+ achieving its long term 2024 target of achieving 230 million to 260 million subscribers.Furthermore, what makes me more optimistic about Disney+ is the strong slate of marquee content coming in 2QF22 and beyond.Overall, Disney is almost doubling the amount or original content from its marquee brands in Disney+ in FY2022, with most of these titles coming online in 2HFY22, particularly between July and September. In 2QF22, Pixar will release Turning Red (11 March) and Marvel releases Moon Knight (30 March).More highly anticipated releases in 3QF22 and after will include 2 new Star Wars series Andor (To be announced) and Obi-Wan Kenobi (25 March), new Marvel series Ms. Marvel (To be announced) and She-Hulk (To be announced), a live-action Pinocchio(To be announced) starring Tom Hanks, and Hocus Pocus 2 (FY2023).Management reiterated that they have more than 340 local original titles in various stages of development and production for their DTC platforms over the next few years. Local content offerings are also increasing in Asia, India, Europe, and LatAm in FY2022, with the majority of those titles releasing in F2H22.In my opinion, this will be a pivotal moment for Disney+ as 4QFY22 will be the first time in Disney+ history that the company will be releasing original content throughout the quarter from all of Disney, Marvel, Star Wars, Pixar, and Nat Geo.Although there could be some risk of subs deceleration in 2QFY22 due to the back end weighted content in the second half of the year. That said, the focus should really be on 2HFY22 as, in my opinion, there could be meaningfully much higher net adds to subscriber base, partly due to content release schedule in 2HFY22, and also the international launches happening as Disney+ expands its reach globally.In the 1QFY22 management call, management emphasised Disney+'s expansion globally. In FY2022, the company plans on bringing Disney+ to more than 50 more countries. This includes countries in Central Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and South Africa.In total, management has plans to more than double the number of markets Disney+ is in now from 80 currently to more than 160 markets by FY2023. I would expect that the initial impact of these planned market launches will be most evident in F3Q22. As such, I am of the opinion that we will continue to see quarter over quarter improvements in Disney+ net adds from 8 million net adds in 2QFY22, to 12 million net adds in 3QFY22.Sports could be a future bright spotIn the November 10 2021 earnings call, Bob Chapek, CEO of Disney, said that the company will expand into sports betting through ESPN. Although this may not sound like anything new, this is the first time ESPN's parent company, Disney, acknowledged that sports betting will be beneficial to the parent company and will not affect Disney's brand. This sets a clear signal that the top management in Disney is giving the go ahead to go deeper and bigger into the world of sports betting.In fact, sports betting has been something the company has been dipping its toes into. In 2020, ESPN got into an agreement with both Caesars Entertainment and DraftKings to link to their sportsbooks fromThere were talks in August 2021 about ESPN, at that time, was in discussions to potentially explore a brand licensing deal with DraftKings or Caesars Entertainment for $3 billion.Bob Chapek mentioned that the company wants to have a greater presence in online sports betting and can leverage on ESPN's reach and scale to partner with 3rd parties in the sports betting space.In my opinion, this could help Disney create brand new revenue streams and bring growth to ESPN, especially as ESPN advertising revenues were flat in the 4th quarter of 2021 when compared to the same quarter a year before. However, its streaming service EPSN+ grew subscribers by 66% over the year and almost 90% of the most watched broadcasts on Disney's owned TV networks were sports events. Thus, I think that to leverage on this strength that Disney has would make lots of sense not just for ESPN, but for Disney as a whole.In addition, the move to sports betting would also attract and retain a younger audience and keep the momentum growing for ESPN. Furthermore, it is noted by Chapel that the consumer wants to have sports betting and to meet the needs of the ESPN customers, Disney needs to move into sports betting or risk missing a great opportunity or even being irrelevant in the future.Recovery of parks will bring huge revenue and operating income upsideIn 1QFY22, the Parks segment saw a material beat in revenues and operating incomes which in my view is a sign that we could be seeing structurally stronger growth rates in revenue as well as operating margins normalisation as international parks and domestic parks fully open and as travel returns to pre-pandemic levels.Although there were lower attendance than 2019, Parks revenue and operating income matched pre-pandemic levels due to the higher yield benefits with per cap spending up more than 40% compared to 1QFY19.Furthermore, based on the latest results, trends in attendance at Disney's domestic parks have continued to increase as Walt Disney World and Disneyland 1QFY22 attendance was up double digits compared to that of 4QFY21. This was likely also reflecting the seasonality effects of the holiday season.Moving forward, although there is likely to be continued impact from COVID in the form of volatility, Disney's domestic parks will likely see continued strong demand from domestic guests while international parks will likely see a surge in demand in the latter half of the year. This is due to the increased closures like that of Hong Kong Disneyland currently being temporarily closed.For my longer term forecasts, I believe that we could see per caps spending sustain above pre-COVID levels and thus this will drive higher margins for the segment. Driven by huge volume and customer growth both from domestic and international guests, the recovery in Disney's Parks segment will be significant in FY2022.ValuationBased on above points mentioned, I developed a financial model for Disney to come up with a valuation using sum of the parts (SOTP) valuation of the different segments. Due to the currently unprofitable nature of DTC, this was forecasted using longer term DCF model for the DTC segment.SOTP Valuation of Disney (Author generated model)Based on the SOTP valuation, I derived a target price of $197, and there is a 43% upside potential for Disney based on current price levels.Looking to relative valuation, when comparing Disney with Netflix (NFLX), one of Disney's competitors in the streaming services market, the forward P/E ratios of both companies are somewhat similar at about 31x to 32x 1 year forward P/E.Data by YChartsHowever, as highlighted in earlier sections, Disney's growth is likely to be higher than that of Netflix due to the higher growth from DPEP segment as travel recovers, and also from DMED segment as Disney+ content releases bring in record numbers of net adds and subscribers. As can be seen below, although Disney's revenues plunged in 2020, its starting to show faster growth in 2021 as it continues to recover from the COVID situation.Data by YChartsRisksCompetitionWe are seeing increased competition in the streaming space. Although Disney has a strong franchise of brands in Disney+, competitors like Netflix, Apple TV (AAPL) and Amazon Prime Video (AMZN) could significantly increase content and marketing trend, competing for the same eyeballs for streaming services and thereby restricting Disney's subscriber and margin growth.COVID related risksAs Disney's traditional travel and leisure Parks business is very susceptible to global travel and tourism trends, any increase in COVID related measures in any geographies that Disney's parks are operating in could result in slower than expected recovery.ConclusionAll in all, there is a good risk reward investment opportunity for Disney at the current levels. With Parks segment set to see margin improvement to above pre-COVID levels as well as see traffic return, this will bring about a huge growth in revenues and profits from the profitable parks business. Furthermore, Disney continues to execute well in its streaming business, with 2HFY22 being a very exciting time for Disney+ as it rolls out to more markets and as it releases much more original marquee content that could reach a wide range of audiences. Based on SOTP valuation, my target price for Disney is $197, implying 43% upside from current levels, which is an attractive investment opportunity in my view.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":496,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9032769042,"gmtCreate":1647444299142,"gmtModify":1676534230953,"author":{"id":"4107589213975220","authorId":"4107589213975220","name":"tlinh","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4107589213975220","authorIdStr":"4107589213975220"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"dont reli care for the markets here, this is good news regardless","listText":"dont reli care for the markets here, this is good news regardless","text":"dont reli care for the markets here, this is good news regardless","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9032769042","repostId":"1189260494","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1189260494","pubTimestamp":1647441827,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1189260494?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-03-16 22:43","market":"other","language":"en","title":"Ukraine and Russia Draw up Neutrality Plan to End War","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1189260494","media":"Financial Times","summary":"Ukraine and Russia have made significant progress on a tentative 15-point peace plan including a cea","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Ukraine and Russia have made significant progress on a tentative 15-point peace plan including a ceasefire and Russian withdrawal if Kyiv declares neutrality and accepts limits on its armed forces, according to three people involved in the talks.</p><p>The proposed deal, which Ukrainian and Russian negotiators discussed in full for the first time on Monday, would involve Kyiv renouncing its ambitions to join Nato and promising not to host foreign military bases or weaponry in exchange for protection from allies such as the US, UK and Turkey, the people said.</p><p>The nature of western guarantees for Ukrainian security — and their acceptability to Moscow — could yet prove to be a big obstacle to any deal, as could the status of Ukrainian territories seized by Russia and its proxies in 2014.

A professor of business and psychology who has studied how market metaphors impact the decisions investors make. And 2. A roller-coaster designer.</p><p>But first, it&#39;s important to consider how metaphors influence our thoughts and behaviors. In &#34;Metaphors We Live By,&#34; a seminal work by the philosophers George Lakoff and Mark Johnson, they make the case that &#34;the way we think, what we experience, and what we do every day is very much a matter of metaphor.&#34; What does this have to do with roller coasters? Well, as Lakoff and Johnson say, &#34;the major metaphor in our culture is HAPPY IS UP.&#34;</p><p>When we feel good, we say we are up, we strive to climb the corporate ladder, we want to get a raise. Happy is definitely up on a market chart, unless you&#39;re a short seller. Up is more. Up is richer. Up is one step closer to joining the Great Resignation and jetting off to the Almafi coast. But the most happy moments on a roller coaster, as someone who loves roller coasters, are not the ups, but the most horrific, violent stretches of a market chart: the steep drops and wild turns.</p><p>&#34;The ups and downs in the emotions don&#39;t correlate with the ups and downs in distance above the floor,&#34; said Brendan Walker, a London-based &#34;thrill engineer&#34; with two decades of roller-coaster design experience. &#34;The points of sudden change are the most exciting moments, made to be scary as hell or fun and exhilarating.&#34;</p><p>The metaphor does work in one sense: Inching up the lift hill is a moment of building anticipation and nerves, Walker said. Like investors wondering if they should bail out before the bottom falls out, nervous riders whisper to themselves over and over again as the train lurches upward: &#34;Is this the top yet?&#34; Most of life is more like waiting in line for the ride than actually riding it, of course.</p><p>But remember, roller coasters, unlike volatile markets, are a form of entertainment, with each of the 90-120 seconds choreographed to neurotransmit a cocktail of maximal pleasure and excitement. &#34;They seem to be very risky, but this is one of the most risk-averse industries around,&#34; said Walker, whose current venture, Studio Go Go, specializes in enhancing older rides with the addition of virtual reality. &#34;A new ride costs $25 million and needs to appeal to 95% of visitors.&#34; They are designed to be a safe way to experience the feeling of risk, said Walker. &#34;This is not skydiving or skiing black runs off-piste.&#34;</p><p>Theme-park rides sometimes end badly -- I once watched helplessly as my nephew was thrown from a carnival ride, thankfully sustaining only &#34;minor injuries&#34; -- but, for the most part, we can be fairly certain that we end up right back where we started, unscathed, maybe smiling, maybe muttering &#34;never again,&#34; but no poorer for the journey.</p><p>Markets can be far more hazardous -- and so can market metaphors. Roller-coaster images may provide false comfort to investors, said Michael Morris, a business professor and psychologist at Columbia University. &#34;It&#39;s a bit like the bubble metaphor, which suggests that once it has popped it is a safe time to invest, the danger is over.&#34;</p><p>In a 2007 paper, &#34;Metaphors and the Market,&#34; Morris and his co-authors studied the impact a range of metaphors used by financial media had on investor decision making, focusing on two types: &#34;agent&#34; metaphors, which suggest the market is an animal spirit that climbs, claws, charges, or flies vs. that &#34;object&#34; metaphors, passive victims of gravity, as in &#34;the  Dow fell off a cliff.&#34; Presumably dead cats bounce into and out of the latter category.</p><p>&#34;Humans detect the features of things that are self-propelled and the things that defy gravity and we treat them very differently,&#34; Morris told me. In experiments they found that agent metaphors made investors more confident that the current trends were likely to continue. Media commentary causes investors to take uptrends as meaningful signals and downtrends as something that can be ignored, the paper argues.</p><p>Even the market chart itself can mislead investors this way. The lines on a chart suggest continued trajectories, Morris said. Investors fared better after being shown tables of data as opposed to a chart, he said. Allusions to roller coasters might have a similar effect, his research found, since they have &#34;unsteady but regular trajectories. And they may imply that the past regularity portends future regularity.&#34;</p><p>Behavioral economist Richard Thaler has joked that investors would be better off watching ESPN than a business network, and maybe he has a point. Financial journalists have a responsibility to think critically about the language and imagery used to explain the market. We should be up front about how little we know, and we should banish all the bears and B.S. We can do better.</p><p>Morris told me that his metaphor research was conducted well before the rise of social media, and these days the major financial networks and sites may be the least of investors&#39; problems. &#34;If you want to be a contrarian thinker, the last thing you want is ignorant people shouting in your ear,&#34; he said.</p><p>Investing is not for the faint of heart.

The meeting concluded there is a need to “boost the economy,” in the first quarter, according to a state-media report.The Financial Stability and Development Committee meeting promised investors relief on a number of concerns which drove a sell-off in Chinese equities earlier this week. “Any policy that has a significant impact on capital markets should be co-ordinated with financial management departments in advance to maintain the stability and consistency of policy expectations,” the meeting said.Stocks surged after the announcement.

And many individual stocks have fallen much further. For instance, shares of <b>DocuSign</b> and <b>Zoom Video Communications</b> have dropped 63% and 78%, respectively, from their highs, as Wall Street continues to weigh the impact of high inflation and potential interest rate hikes on corporate profitability.</p><p>Many investors have also mistakenly categorized DocuSign and Zoom as &#34;pandemic stocks,&#34; citing slowing revenue growth as cause for alarm. But nothing could be further from the truth. Both businesses play an important role in digital transformation, and their services should only become more valuable in the years ahead. Better yet, both stocks look relatively cheap right now.</p><p>Here&#39;s what you should know.</p><p><b>1. DocuSign</b></p><p>Agreements are an essential part of any business. Organizations form agreements with customers, employees, and partners, but traditional paper-based processes -- such as printing, signing, and taking action on a physical document -- are slow, costly, and prone to errors. With its Agreement Cloud, DocuSign aims to accelerate and simplify workflow by digitizing and automating the agreement process. Its platform spans over a dozen applications, and it integrates with over 350 other technologies.</p><p>At its core is DocuSign eSignature, a product that allows documents to be signed in a digital, secure, and legally valid manner, on virtually any device. But the company&#39;s portfolio also includes tools for automatic contract generation, AI-powered analytics and risk scoring, and payment collection. Collectively, those tools help clients work more quickly and efficiently.</p><p>Founded in 2003, DocuSign is a pioneer in the e-signature industry, and the company has parlayed its first-mover status into a robust competitive edge. DocuSign ranks as the No. 1 e-signature tool, holding over 70% market share, and its platform boasts a net promoter score (NPS) of 72. For context, the NPS is designed to measure the customer experience, and 50 is an impressive score, but an NPS of 70 (or higher) is considered world class.</p><p>Not surprisingly, DocuSign&#39;s strong competitive position and excellent rapport with customers have fueled impressive growth. Over the past year, the company&#39;s customer base expanded 34% to 1.1 million; revenue soared 51% to $2 billion; and free cash flow skyrocketed 125% to $418.7 million. More importantly, management puts its addressable market at $50 billion, meaning DocuSign still has plenty of room to grow. And with the stock trading at 11.4times sales-- significantly cheaper than its three-year average of 22 times sales -- now looks like a good time to buy a few shares.</p><p><b>2. Zoom Video Communications</b></p><p>Zoom became a household name during the pandemic. Its core product, videoconferencing app Zoom Meetings, helped socially distanced friends and families stay in touch, while allowing students and employees to learn and work remotely. However, Zoom is more than a videoconferencing application; it&#39;s a communications company, and its platform also includes a cloud-based phone system (Zoom Phone) and a software-based collaboration suite for hybrid workforces (Zoom Rooms).</p><p>While some employees have already returned to the office, remote work is likely here to stay. In fact, research firm Gartner believes that 48% of employees will work remotely at least part time in a post-COVID world, up from 30% prior to the pandemic. And Gartner says that by 2024 just 25% of enterprise meetings will take place in person, down from 60% in 2019. Both of those trends are good news for Zoom and its shareholders.</p><p>Better yet, Zoom is actually becoming more popular. In the video conferencing space, the company captured 49% market share in 2021, up from 26% in 2020. Even more impressive, Zoom is actually the fifth most popular enterprise application of any kind, according to <b>Okta</b>&#39;s 2022 Business at Work report.</p><p>In the most recent quarter, Zoom hit 512,100 customers, up 18%. And the company has kept its expansion rate above 130% for the last 14 quarters, meaning the average customer consistently spends 30% more.

And many individual stocks have fallen much further. For instance, shares of DocuSign and Zoom Video Communications have dropped 63% and 78%, respectively, from their highs, as Wall Street continues to weigh the impact of high inflation and potential interest rate hikes on corporate profitability.Many investors have also mistakenly categorized DocuSign and Zoom as \"pandemic stocks,\" citing slowing revenue growth as cause for alarm. But nothing could be further from the truth. Both businesses play an important role in digital transformation, and their services should only become more valuable in the years ahead. Better yet, both stocks look relatively cheap right now.Here's what you should know.1. DocuSignAgreements are an essential part of any business. Organizations form agreements with customers, employees, and partners, but traditional paper-based processes -- such as printing, signing, and taking action on a physical document -- are slow, costly, and prone to errors. With its Agreement Cloud, DocuSign aims to accelerate and simplify workflow by digitizing and automating the agreement process. Its platform spans over a dozen applications, and it integrates with over 350 other technologies.At its core is DocuSign eSignature, a product that allows documents to be signed in a digital, secure, and legally valid manner, on virtually any device. But the company's portfolio also includes tools for automatic contract generation, AI-powered analytics and risk scoring, and payment collection. Collectively, those tools help clients work more quickly and efficiently.Founded in 2003, DocuSign is a pioneer in the e-signature industry, and the company has parlayed its first-mover status into a robust competitive edge. DocuSign ranks as the No. 1 e-signature tool, holding over 70% market share, and its platform boasts a net promoter score (NPS) of 72. For context, the NPS is designed to measure the customer experience, and 50 is an impressive score, but an NPS of 70 (or higher) is considered world class.Not surprisingly, DocuSign's strong competitive position and excellent rapport with customers have fueled impressive growth. Over the past year, the company's customer base expanded 34% to 1.1 million; revenue soared 51% to $2 billion; and free cash flow skyrocketed 125% to $418.7 million. More importantly, management puts its addressable market at $50 billion, meaning DocuSign still has plenty of room to grow. And with the stock trading at 11.4times sales-- significantly cheaper than its three-year average of 22 times sales -- now looks like a good time to buy a few shares.2. Zoom Video CommunicationsZoom became a household name during the pandemic. Its core product, videoconferencing app Zoom Meetings, helped socially distanced friends and families stay in touch, while allowing students and employees to learn and work remotely. However, Zoom is more than a videoconferencing application; it's a communications company, and its platform also includes a cloud-based phone system (Zoom Phone) and a software-based collaboration suite for hybrid workforces (Zoom Rooms).While some employees have already returned to the office, remote work is likely here to stay. In fact, research firm Gartner believes that 48% of employees will work remotely at least part time in a post-COVID world, up from 30% prior to the pandemic. And Gartner says that by 2024 just 25% of enterprise meetings will take place in person, down from 60% in 2019. Both of those trends are good news for Zoom and its shareholders.Better yet, Zoom is actually becoming more popular. In the video conferencing space, the company captured 49% market share in 2021, up from 26% in 2020. Even more impressive, Zoom is actually the fifth most popular enterprise application of any kind, according to Okta's 2022 Business at Work report.In the most recent quarter, Zoom hit 512,100 customers, up 18%. And the company has kept its expansion rate above 130% for the last 14 quarters, meaning the average customer consistently spends 30% more. Fueled by that stickiness, revenue soared 100% to $3.9 billion over the past year, and free cash flow rose 59% to $1.7 billion. More importantly, management puts its market opportunity at $91 billion by 2025, leaving plenty of room for future growth. And with the stock trading at 9.7 times sales -- near its cheapest valuation since going public in 2019 -- now looks like a good time to invest in this beaten-down tech company.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":290,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9039914041,"gmtCreate":1645881881723,"gmtModify":1676534072205,"author":{"id":"4107589213975220","authorId":"4107589213975220","name":"tlinh","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4107589213975220","authorIdStr":"4107589213975220"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"love

I&#39;m very bullish on the company&#39;s future. But Joby is a high-risk stock. So my investment here is tiny (way under 1% of my family investment portfolio).</p><p>I&#39;m bullish on this stock because I&#39;m negative about self-driving cars. I don&#39;t think the collective intelligence at <b>Alphabet </b>or <b>Tesla </b>can sufficiently plan for all the variables of driving a car in the street. Even if the artificial intelligence-based technology works and reduces car collisions, every accident is a major lawsuit waiting to happen. For example, suppose Tesla manages to reduce the accident rate from 6 million a year (the total number of car accidents in 2018 in the U.S. and assuming all cars are self driven) to 1 million -- which would be incredible -- that&#39;s still 1 million lawsuits a year the company will face.</p><p>Joby, meanwhile, is changing the transportation landscape in a three-dimensional way. There&#39;s almost zero traffic in the sky. The vehicles are way faster and just as quiet. I think Joby could easily go up 10 times in value, just with human pilots.

It&#39;s not hard to see why transportation will go vertical in the future. Joby&#39;s aircraft is electric and recently demonstrated how quiet the aircraft, a critical parameter to operate in populated areas. At about 55 decibels during take-off, it&#39;s more than a thousand times quieter than a typical helicopter. And that&#39;s kind of amazing, because these vehicles are super-fast. How fast? The company&#39;s air taxi hit 205 miles an hour in a practice run earlier this year.</p><p>The company also demonstrated that the aircraft can fly 150 miles on a single battery charge. The plan is to use them to ferry passengers in and around congested cities. Los Angeles, for instance, is known for its heavy traffic. Electric cars do not fix that problem. Self-driving cars don&#39;t fix that problem, either. Nobody likes a traffic snarl, and anything that reduces those bottlenecks will be a blessing. Joby estimates the market for its air taxis in L.A. at $500 million a year. That&#39;s just one city!</p><h2>Tesla in the sky?</h2><p>How big is the air taxi opportunity? Well, if you don&#39;t believe Morgan Stanley&#39;s $1.5 trillion number, consider what Elon Musk has to say.</p><blockquote>So, over time, we think full self-driving will become the most important source of profitability for Tesla. It&#39;s -- actually, if you run the numbers on robotaxis, it&#39;s kind of nutty -- it&#39;s nutty good from a financial standpoint.</blockquote><p>That&#39;s thought-provoking. Musk is happy about his fleet of electric cars and his $53 billion in revenues. But he believes self-driving taxis is actually a much bigger opportunity in the future.</p><p>Try to imagine investing in Tesla back in 2010, when the company had its initial public offering (IPO). It was a daunting investment. Tesla had no profits and had only sold 1,000 cars <i>in total</i> when the company went public. If the company had suffered a few bad breaks a decade ago, it could have easily gone Chapter 11.</p><p>Joby in 2022 is much like Tesla in 2010 -- a highly risky investment opportunity with a huge potential upside. The way you approach a dangerous stock like this is by making a small investment now, and maybe adding to your position as the dangers recede and the market gets more and more excited.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0b98052269302be9144c26272252075f\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"433\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>Data by YCharts.</p><h2>Uber in the sky?</h2><p>Of course, when you think &#34;taxis,&#34; you think <b>Uber Technologies </b>(NYSE:UBER), the company that disrupted the taxi industry around the world. You might think Uber would be interested in that $1.5 trillion market opportunity, too. And you&#39;d be right. Back in 2016, Uber published a white paper about the future of urban air transportation. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TWOA.U\">Two</a> years later, the ride-sharing giant introduced its prototype vehicle. But Uber was too late to the party, and so in 2020 the company abandoned the race and sold out to Joby (and invested $75 million in the start-up).</p><p>Similarly, <b>Toyota </b>decided to invest almost $400 million in Joby last year. That&#39;s a major influx of cash. After several financing rounds and its SPAC last year, Joby is now sitting on $1.6 billion dollars.</p><p>So here we have a huge market opportunity. Uber sees it, and Toyota sees it. And yet these two massive companies both decided to back Joby instead of going alone. Why?</p><p>Joby has a powerful first-mover advantage. The company has been working on its aircraft for over a decade and has been collaborating with NASA since 2012. Joby&#39;s near-term goals are to get its aircraft certified by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), scale up its manufacturing, and launch its air taxi service in 2024. It&#39;s in the lead and likely to be first to market in the U.S.</p><h2>What about self-driving air taxis?</h2><p>I think Musk&#39;s vision of robotaxis in the future is very exciting. But given the congestion in the cities and the pain-points that air taxis solve, I believe this revolution may very well happen in the air first. After all, the first autopilots in aircraft were introduced in 1912! We already have drones in the air. The safety issues with a self-driving aircraft are minuscule compared to the complexities on the ground.</p><p>So that&#39;s why I&#39;ve made a tiny investment in Joby Aviation now, even with a significant possibility that I might lose it all.

Nonetheless, it's still a much more appealing investment than Roblox in this challenging market for pandemic-era growth stocks.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":192,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9037646906,"gmtCreate":1648099986799,"gmtModify":1676534304373,"author":{"id":"4107589213975220","authorId":"4107589213975220","name":"tlinh","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4107589213975220","authorIdStr":"4107589213975220"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"ok","listText":"ok","text":"ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9037646906","repostId":"2221304477","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":522,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9034907097,"gmtCreate":1647745936324,"gmtModify":1676534262682,"author":{"id":"4107589213975220","authorId":"4107589213975220","name":"tlinh","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4107589213975220","authorIdStr":"4107589213975220"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"well i like this stock personally now because of the content","listText":"well i like this stock personally now because of the content","text":"well i like this stock personally now because of the content","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9034907097","repostId":"2220726035","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":496,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9092893214,"gmtCreate":1644575151076,"gmtModify":1676533942555,"author":{"id":"4107589213975220","authorId":"4107589213975220","name":"tlinh","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4107589213975220","authorIdStr":"4107589213975220"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"true","listText":"true","text":"true","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9092893214","repostId":"2210765594","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2210765594","pubTimestamp":1644573013,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2210765594?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-02-11 17:50","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Should You Really Be Investing in the Stock Market Right Now?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2210765594","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Consistency wins over time.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>In January 2022, the stock market experienced one of its worst months in years.

The 91-year-old investing legend has been publishing the letter for over six decades and it has become required reading for investors around the world.</p><p>Warren Buffett said he now considers tech giant Apple as one of the four pillars driving Berkshire Hathaway, the conglomerate of mostly old-economy businesses he’s assembled over the last five decades.</p><p>In his annual letter to shareholders released on Saturday, the 91-year-old investing legend listed Apple under the heading “Our Four Giants” and even called the company the second-most important after Berkshire’s cluster of insurers, thanks to its chief executive.</p><p>“Tim Cook, Apple’s brilliant CEO, quite properly regards users of Apple products as his first love, but all of his other constituencies benefit from Tim’s managerial touch as well,” the letter stated.</p><p>Buffett made clear he is a fan of Cook’s stock repurchase strategy, and how it gives the conglomerate increased ownership of each dollar of the iPhone maker’s earnings without the investor having to lift a finger.</p><p>“Apple – our runner-up Giant as measured by its yearend market value – is a different sort of holding. Here, our ownership is a mere 5.55%, up from 5.39% a year earlier,” Buffett said in the letter. “That increase sounds like small potatoes. But consider that each 0.1% of Apple’s 2021 earnings amounted to $100 million. We spent no Berkshire funds to gain our accretion. Apple’s repurchases did the job.”</p><p>Berkshire began buying Apple stock in 2016 under the influence of Buffett’s investing deputies Todd Combs and Ted Weschler. By mid-2018, the conglomerate accumulated 5% ownership of the iPhone maker, a stake that cost $36 billion. Today, the Apple investment is now worth more than $160 billion, taking up 40% of Berkshire’s equity portfolio.</p><p>“It’s important to understand that only dividends from Apple are counted in the GAAP earnings Berkshire reports – and last year, Apple paid us $785 million of those. Yet our ‘share’ of Apple’s earnings amounted to a staggering $5.6 billion. Much of what the company retained was used to repurchase Apple shares, an act we applaud,” Buffett said.</p><p>Berkshire is Apple’s largest shareholder, outside of index and exchange-traded fund providers.</p><p>Buffett also credited his railroad business BNSF and energy segment BHE as two other giants of the conglomerate, which both registered record earnings in 2021.</p><p>“BNSF, our third Giant, continues to be the number one artery of American commerce, which makes it an indispensable asset for America as well as for Berkshire,” Buffett said. “BHE has become a utility powerhouse and a leading force in wind, solar and transmission throughout much of the United States.”</p><p><b>Read the full letter here：</b></p><p>To the Shareholders of Berkshire Hathaway Inc.:</p><p>Charlie Munger, my long-time partner, and I have the job of managing a portion of your savings. We are honored by your trust.</p><p>Our position carries with it the responsibility to report to you what we would like to know if we were the absentee owner and you were the manager. We enjoy communicating directly with you through this annual letter, and through the annual meeting as well.</p><p>Our policy is to treat all shareholders equally. Therefore, we do not hold discussions with analysts nor large institutions. Whenever possible, also, we release important communications on Saturday mornings in order to maximize the time for shareholders and the media to absorb the news before markets open on Monday.</p><p>A wealth of Berkshire facts and figures are set forth in the annual 10-K that the company regularly files with the S.E.C. and that we reproduce on pages K-1 – K-119. Some shareholders will find this detail engrossing; others will simply prefer to learn what Charlie and I believe is new or interesting at Berkshire.</p><p>Alas, there was little action of that sort in 2021. We did, though, make reasonable progress in increasing the intrinsic value of your shares. That task has been my primary duty for 57 years. And it will continue to be.</p><p><b>What You Own</b></p><p>Berkshire owns a wide variety of businesses, some in their entirety, some only in part. The second group largely consists of marketable common stocks of major American companies. Additionally, we own a few non-U.S. equities and participate in several joint ventures or other collaborative activities.</p><p>Whatever our form of ownership, our goal is to have meaningful investments in businesses with both durable economic advantages and a first-class CEO. Please note particularly that we own stocks based upon our expectations about their long-term business performance and not because we view them as vehicles for timely market moves. That point is crucial: Charlie and I are not stock-pickers; we are business-pickers.</p><p>I make many mistakes. Consequently, our extensive collection of businesses includes some enterprises that have truly extraordinary economics, many others that enjoy good economic characteristics, and a few that are marginal. One advantage of our common-stock segment is that – on occasion – it becomes easy to buy pieces of wonderful businesses at wonderful prices. That shooting-fish-in-a-barrel experience is very rare in negotiated transactions and never occurs en masse. It is also far easier to exit from a mistake when it has been made in the marketable arena.</p><h2><b>Surprise, Surprise</b></h2><p>Here are a few items about your company that often surprise even seasoned investors:</p><p>• Many people perceive Berkshire as a large and somewhat strange collection of financial assets. In truth, Berkshire owns and operates more U.S.-based “infrastructure” assets – classified on our balance sheet as property, plant and equipment – than are owned and operated by any other American corporation. That supremacy has never been our goal. It has, however, become a fact.</p><p>At yearend, those domestic infrastructure assets were carried on Berkshire’s balance sheet at $158 billion. That number increased last year and will continue to increase. Berkshire always will be building.</p><p>• Every year, your company makes substantial federal income tax payments. In 2021, for example, we paid</p><p>$3.3 billion while the U.S. Treasury reported total corporate income-tax receipts of $402 billion. Additionally, Berkshire pays substantial state and foreign taxes. “I gave at the office” is an unassailable assertion when made by Berkshire shareholders.</p><p>Berkshire’s history vividly illustrates the invisible and often unrecognized financial partnership between  government and American businesses. Our tale begins early in 1955, when Berkshire Fine Spinning and Hathaway Manufacturing agreed to merge their businesses. In their requests for shareholder approval, these venerable New England textile companies expressed high hopes for the combination.</p><p></p><p>The Hathaway solicitation, for example, assured its shareholders that “The combination of the resources and managements will result in one of the strongest and most efficient organizations in the textile industry.” That upbeat view was endorsed by the company’s advisor, Lehman Brothers (yes, that Lehman Brothers).</p><p>I’m sure it was a joyous day in both Fall River (Berkshire) and New Bedford (Hathaway) when the union was consummated. After the bands stopped playing and the bankers went home, however, the shareholders reaped a disaster.</p><p>In the nine years following the merger, Berkshire’s owners watched the company’s net worth crater from</p><p>$51.4 million to $22.1 million. In part, this decline was caused by stock repurchases, ill-advised dividends and plant shutdowns. But nine years of effort by many thousands of employees delivered an operating loss as well. Berkshire’s struggles were not unusual: The New England textile industry had silently entered an extended and non-reversible death march.</p><p>During the nine post-merger years, the U.S. Treasury suffered as well from Berkshire’s troubles. All told, the company paid the government only $337,359 in income tax during that period – a pathetic $100 per day.</p><p>Early in 1965, things changed. Berkshire installed new management that redeployed available cash and steered essentially all earnings into a variety of good businesses, most of which remained good through the years. Coupling reinvestment of earnings with the power of compounding worked its magic, and shareholders prospered.</p><p>Berkshire’s owners, it should be noted, were not the only beneficiary of that course correction. Their “silent partner,” the U.S. Treasury, proceeded to collect many tens of billions of dollars from the company in income tax payments. Remember the $100 daily? Now, Berkshire pays roughly $9 million daily to the Treasury.</p><p>In fairness to our governmental partner, our shareholders should acknowledge – indeed trumpet – the fact that Berkshire’s prosperity has been fostered mightily because the company has operated in America. Our country would have done splendidly in the years since 1965 without Berkshire. Absent our American home, however, Berkshire would never have come close to becoming what it is today. When you see the flag, say thanks.</p><p>• From an $8.6 million purchase of National Indemnity in 1967, Berkshire has become the world leader in insurance “float” – money we hold and can invest but that does not belong to us. Including a relatively small sum derived from life insurance, Berkshire’s total float has grown from $19 million when we entered the insurance business to $147 billion.</p><p>So far, this float has cost us less than nothing. Though we have experienced a number of years when insurance losses combined with operating expenses exceeded premiums, overall we have earned a modest 55-year profit from the underwriting activities that generated our float.</p><p>Of equal importance, float is very sticky. Funds attributable to our insurance operations come and go daily, but their aggregate total is immune from precipitous decline. When it comes to investing float, we can therefore think long-term.</p><p>If you are not already familiar with the concept of float, I refer you to a long explanation on page A-5. To my surprise, our float increased $9 billion last year, a buildup of value that is important to Berkshire owners though is not reflected in our GAAP (“generally-accepted accounting principles”) presentation of earnings and net worth.</p><p>Much of our huge value creation in insurance is attributable to Berkshire’s good luck in my 1986 hiring of Ajit Jain. We first met on a Saturday morning, and I quickly asked Ajit what his insurance experience had been. He replied, “None.”</p><p>I said, “Nobody’s perfect,” and hired him. That was my lucky day: Ajit actually was as perfect a choice as could have been made. Better yet, he continues to be – 35 years later.</p><p>One final thought about insurance: I believe that it is likely – but far from assured – that Berkshire’s float can be maintained without our incurring a long-term underwriting loss. I am certain, however, that there will be some years when we experience such losses, perhaps involving very large sums.</p><p>Berkshire is constructed to handle catastrophic events as no other insurer – and that priority will remain long after Charlie and I are gone.</p><h2>Our Four Giants</h2><p>Through Berkshire, our shareholders own many dozens of businesses. Some of these, in turn, have a collection of subsidiaries of their own. For example, Marmon has more than 100 individual business operations, ranging from the leasing of railroad cars to the manufacture of medical devices.</p><p>• Nevertheless, operations of our “Big Four” companies account for a very large chunk of Berkshire’s value. Leading this list is our cluster of insurers. Berkshire effectively owns 100% of this group, whose massive float value we earlier described. The invested assets of these insurers are further enlarged by the extraordinary amount of capital we invest to back up their promises.</p><p>The insurance business is made to order for Berkshire. The product will never be obsolete, and sales volume will generally increase along with both economic growth and inflation. Also, integrity and capital will forever be important. Our company can and will behave well.</p><p>There are, of course, other insurers with excellent business models and prospects. Replication of Berkshire’s operation, however, would be almost impossible.</p><p>• Apple – our runner-up Giant as measured by its yearend market value – is a different sort of holding. Here, our ownership is a mere 5.55%, up from 5.39% a year earlier. That increase sounds like small potatoes. But consider that each 0.1% of Apple’s 2021 earnings amounted to $100 million. We spent no Berkshire funds to gain our accretion. Apple’s repurchases did the job.</p><p>It’s important to understand that only dividends from Apple are counted in the GAAP earnings Berkshire reports – and last year, Apple paid us $785 million of those. Yet our “share” of Apple’s earnings amounted to a staggering $5.6 billion. Much of what the company retained was used to repurchase Apple shares, an act we applaud. Tim Cook, Apple’s brilliant CEO, quite properly regards users of Apple products as his first love, but all of his other constituencies benefit from Tim’s managerial touch as well.</p><p>• BNSF, our third Giant, continues to be the number one artery of American commerce, which makes it an indispensable asset for America as well as for Berkshire. If the many essential products BNSF carries were instead hauled by truck, America’s carbon emissions would soar.</p><p>Your railroad had record earnings of $6 billion in 2021. Here, it should be noted, we are talking about the old-fashioned sort of earnings that we favor: a figure calculated after interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and all forms of compensation. (Our definition suggests a warning: Deceptive “adjustments” to earnings – to use a polite description – have become both more frequent and more fanciful as stocks have risen. Speaking less politely, I would say that bull markets breed bloviated bull )</p><p>BNSF trains traveled 143 million miles last year and carried 535 million tons of cargo. Both accomplishments far exceed those of any other American carrier. You can be proud of your railroad.</p><p>• BHE, our final Giant, earned a record $4 billion in 2021. That’s up more than 30-fold from the $122 million earned in 2000, the year that Berkshire first purchased a BHE stake. Now, Berkshire owns 91.1% of the company.</p><p>BHE’s record of societal accomplishment is as remarkable as its financial performance. The company had no wind or solar generation in 2000. It was then regarded simply as a relatively new and minor participant in the huge electric utility industry. Subsequently, under David Sokol’s and Greg Abel’s leadership, BHE has become a utility powerhouse (no groaning, please) and a leading force in wind, solar and transmission throughout much of the United States.</p><p>Greg’s report on these accomplishments appears on pages A-3 and A-4. The profile you will find there is not in any way one of those currently-fashionable “green-washing” stories. BHE has been faithfully detailing its plans and performance in renewables and transmissions every year since 2007.</p><p>To further review this information, visit BHE’s website at brkenergy.com. There, you will see that the company has long been making climate-conscious moves that soak up all of its earnings. More opportunities lie ahead. BHE has the management, the experience, the capital and the appetite for the huge power projects that our country needs.</p><h2>Investments</h2><p>Now let’s talk about companies we don’t control, a list that again references Apple. Below we list our fifteen largest equity holdings, several of which are selections of Berkshire’s two long-time investment managers, Todd Combs and Ted Weschler. At yearend, this valued pair had total authority in respect to $34 billion of investments, many of which do not meet the threshold value we use in the table. Also, a significant portion of the dollars that Todd and Ted manage are lodged in various pension plans of Berkshire-owned businesses, with the assets of these plans not included in this table.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d43587e9f59c0ff76e6c04c6bf9af324\" tg-width=\"1047\" tg-height=\"530\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>* This is our actual purchase price and also our tax basis.</p><p>** Held by BHE; consequently, Berkshire shareholders have only a 91.1% interest in this position.</p><p>*** Includes a $10 billion investment in Occidental Petroleum, consisting of preferred stock and warrants to buy common stock, a combination now being valued at $10.7 billion.</p><p>In addition to the footnoted Occidental holding and our various common-stock positions, Berkshire also owns a 26.6% interest in Kraft Heinz (accounted for on the “equity” method, not market value, and carried at $13.1 billion) and 38.6% of Pilot Corp., a leader in travel centers that had revenues last year of $45 billion.</p><p>Since we purchased our Pilot stake in 2017, this holding has warranted “equity” accounting treatment. Early in 2023, Berkshire will purchase an additional interest in Pilot that will raise our ownership to 80% and lead to our fully consolidating Pilot’s earnings, assets and liabilities in our financial statements.</p><h2>U.S. Treasury Bills</h2><p>Berkshire’s balance sheet includes $144 billion of cash and cash equivalents (excluding the holdings of BNSF and BHE). Of this sum, $120 billion is held in U.S. Treasury bills, all maturing in less than a year. That stake leaves Berkshire financing about 12 of 1% of the publicly-held national debt.</p><p>Charlie and I have pledged that Berkshire (along with our subsidiaries other than BNSF and BHE) will always hold more than $30 billion of cash and equivalents. We want your company to be financially impregnable and never dependent on the kindness of strangers (or even that of friends). Both of us like to sleep soundly, and we want our creditors, insurance claimants and you to do so as well.</p><h2>But $144 billion?</h2><p>That imposing sum, I assure you, is not some deranged expression of patriotism. Nor have Charlie and I lost our overwhelming preference for business ownership. Indeed, I first manifested my enthusiasm for that 80 years ago, on March 11, 1942, when I purchased three shares of Cities Services preferred stock. Their cost was $114.75 and required all of my savings. (The Dow Jones Industrial Average that day closed at 99, a fact that should scream to you: Never bet against America.)</p><p>After my initial plunge, I always kept at least 80% of my net worth in equities. My favored status throughout that period was 100% – and still is. Berkshire’s current 80%-or-so position in businesses is a consequence of my failure to find entire companies or small portions thereof (that is, marketable stocks) which meet our criteria for long- term holding.</p><p>Charlie and I have endured similar cash-heavy positions from time to time in the past. These periods are never pleasant; they are also never permanent. And, fortunately, we have had a mildly attractive alternative during 2020 and 2021 for deploying capital. Read on.</p><h2>Share Repurchases</h2><p>There are three ways that we can increase the value of your investment. The first is always front and center in our minds: Increase the long-term earning power of Berkshire’s controlled businesses through internal growth or by making acquisitions. Today, internal opportunities deliver far better returns than acquisitions. The size of those opportunities, however, is small compared to Berkshire’s resources.</p><p>Our second choice is to buy non-controlling part-interests in the many good or great businesses that are publicly traded. From time to time, such possibilities are both numerous and blatantly attractive. Today, though, we find little that excites us.</p><p>That’s largely because of a truism: Long-term interest rates that are low push the prices of all productive investments upward, whether these are stocks, apartments, farms, oil wells, whatever. Other factors influence valuations as well, but interest rates will always be important.</p><p>Our final path to value creation is to repurchase Berkshire shares. Through that simple act, we increase your share of the many controlled and non-controlled businesses Berkshire owns. When the price/value equation is right, this path is the easiest and most certain way for us to increase your wealth. (Alongside the accretion of value to continuing shareholders, a couple of other parties gain: Repurchases are modestly beneficial to the seller of the repurchased shares and to society as well.)</p><p>Periodically, as alternative paths become unattractive, repurchases make good sense for Berkshire’s owners. During the past two years, we therefore repurchased 9% of the shares that were outstanding at yearend 2019 for a total cost of $51.7 billion. That expenditure left our continuing shareholders owning about 10% more of all Berkshire businesses, whether these are wholly-owned (such as BNSF and GEICO) or partly-owned (such as Coca-Cola and Moody’s).</p><p>I want to underscore that for Berkshire repurchases to make sense, our shares must offer appropriate value. We don’t want to overpay for the shares of other companies, and it would be value-destroying if we were to overpay when we are buying Berkshire. As of February 23, 2022, since yearend we repurchased additional shares at a cost of $1.2 billion. Our appetite remains large but will always remain price-dependent.</p><p>It should be noted that Berkshire’s buyback opportunities are limited because of its high-class investor base. If our shares were heavily held by short-term speculators, both price volatility and transaction volumes would materially increase. That kind of reshaping would offer us far greater opportunities for creating value by making repurchases. Nevertheless, Charlie and I far prefer the owners we have, even though their admirable buy-and-keep attitudes limit the extent to which long-term shareholders can profit from opportunistic repurchases.</p><p>Finally, one easily-overlooked value calculation specific to Berkshire: As we’ve discussed, insurance “float” of the right sort is of great value to us. As it happens, repurchases automatically increase the amount of “float” per share. That figure has increased during the past two years by 25% – going from $79,387 per “A” share to $99,497, a meaningful gain that, as noted, owes some thanks to repurchases.</p><h2>A Wonderful Man and a Wonderful Business</h2><p>Last year, Paul Andrews died. Paul was the founder and CEO of TTI, a Fort Worth-based subsidiary of Berkshire. Throughout his life – in both his business and his personal pursuits – Paul quietly displayed all the qualities that Charlie and I admire. His story should be told.</p><p>In 1971, Paul was working as a purchasing agent for General Dynamics when the roof fell in. After losing a huge defense contract, the company fired thousands of employees, including Paul.</p><p>With his first child due soon, Paul decided to bet on himself, using $500 of his savings to found Tex-Tronics (later renamed TTI). The company set itself up to distribute small electronic components, and first-year sales totaled $112,000. Today, TTI markets more than one million different items with annual volume of $7.7 billion.</p><p>But back to 2006: Paul, at 63, then found himself happy with his family, his job, and his associates. But he had one nagging worry, heightened because he had recently witnessed a friend’s early death and the disastrous results that followed for that man’s family and business. What, Paul asked himself in 2006, would happen to the many people depending on him if he should unexpectedly die?</p><p>For a year, Paul wrestled with his options. Sell to a competitor? From a strictly economic viewpoint, that course made the most sense. After all, competitors could envision lucrative “synergies” – savings that would be achieved as the acquiror slashed duplicated functions at TTI.</p><p>But . . . Such a purchaser would most certainly also retain its CFO, its legal counsel, its HR unit. Their TTI counterparts would therefore be sent packing. And ugh! If a new distribution center were to be needed, the acquirer’s home city would certainly be favored over Fort Worth.</p><p>Whatever the financial benefits, Paul quickly concluded that selling to a competitor was not for him. He next considered seeking a financial buyer, a species once labeled – aptly so – a leveraged buyout firm. Paul knew, however, that such a purchaser would be focused on an “exit strategy.” And who could know what that would be? Brooding over it all, Paul found himself having no interest in handing his 35-year-old creation over to a reseller.</p><p>When Paul met me, he explained why he had eliminated these two alternatives as buyers. He then summed up his dilemma by saying – in far more tactful phrasing than this – “After a year of pondering the alternatives, I want to sell to Berkshire because you are the only guy left.” So, I made an offer and Paul said “Yes.” One meeting; one lunch; one deal.</p><p>To say we both lived happily ever after is an understatement. When Berkshire purchased TTI, the company employed 2,387. Now the number is 8,043. A large percentage of that growth took place in Fort Worth and environs. Earnings have increased 673%.</p><p>Annually, I would call Paul and tell him his salary should be substantially increased. Annually, he would tell me, “We can talk about that next year, Warren; I’m too busy now.”</p><p>When Greg Abel and I attended Paul’s memorial service, we met children, grandchildren, long-time associates (including TTI’s first employee) and John Roach, the former CEO of a Fort Worth company Berkshire had purchased in 2000. John had steered his friend Paul to Omaha, instinctively knowing we would be a match.</p><p>At the service, Greg and I heard about the multitudes of people and organizations that Paul had silently supported. The breadth of his generosity was extraordinary – geared always to improving the lives of others, particularly those in Fort Worth.</p><p>In all ways, Paul was a class act.</p><p>* * * * * * * * * * * *</p><p>Good luck – occasionally extraordinary luck – has played its part at Berkshire. If Paul and I had not enjoyed a mutual friend – John Roach – TTI would not have found its home with us. But that ample serving of luck was only the beginning. TTI was soon to lead Berkshire to its most important acquisition.</p><p>Every fall, Berkshire directors gather for a presentation by a few of our executives. We sometimes choose the site based upon the location of a recent acquisition, by that means allowing directors to meet the new subsidiary’s CEO and learn more about the acquiree’s activities.</p><p>In the fall of 2009, we consequently selected Fort Worth so that we could visit TTI. At that time, BNSF, which also had Fort Worth as its hometown, was the third-largest holding among our marketable equities. Despite that large stake, I had never visited the railroad’s headquarters.</p><p>Deb Bosanek, my assistant, scheduled our board’s opening dinner for October 22. Meanwhile, I arranged to arrive earlier that day to meet with Matt Rose, CEO of BNSF, whose accomplishments I had long admired. When I made the date, I had no idea that our get-together would coincide with BNSF’s third-quarter earnings report, which was released late on the 22nd.</p><p>The market reacted badly to the railroad’s results. The Great Recession was in full force in the third quarter, and BNSF’s earnings reflected that slump. The economic outlook was also bleak, and Wall Street wasn’t feeling friendly to railroads – or much else.</p><p>On the following day, I again got together with Matt and suggested that Berkshire would offer the railroad a better long-term home than it could expect as a public company. I also told him the maximum price that Berkshire would pay.</p><p>Matt relayed the offer to his directors and advisors. Eleven busy days later, Berkshire and BNSF announced a firm deal. And here I’ll venture a rare prediction: BNSF will be a key asset for Berkshire and our country a century from now.</p><p>The BNSF acquisition would never have happened if Paul Andrews hadn’t sized up Berkshire as the right home for TTI.</p><h2>Thanks</h2><p>I taught my first investing class 70 years ago. Since then, I have enjoyed working almost every year with students of all ages, finally “retiring” from that pursuit in 2018.</p><p>Along the way, my toughest audience was my grandson’s fifth-grade class. The 11-year-olds were squirming in their seats and giving me blank stares until I mentioned Coca-Cola and its famous secret formula. Instantly, every hand went up, and I learned that “secrets” are catnip to kids.</p><p>Teaching, like writing, has helped me develop and clarify my own thoughts. Charlie calls this phenomenon the orangutan effect: If you sit down with an orangutan and carefully explain to it one of your cherished ideas, you may leave behind a puzzled primate, but will yourself exit thinking more clearly.</p><p>Talking to university students is far superior. I have urged that they seek employment in (1) the field and (2) with the kind of people they would select, if they had no need for money. Economic realities, I acknowledge, may interfere with that kind of search. Even so, I urge the students never to give up the quest, for when they find that sort of job, they will no longer be “working.”</p><p>Charlie and I, ourselves, followed that liberating course after a few early stumbles. We both started as part- timers at my grandfather’s grocery store, Charlie in 1940 and I in 1942. We were each assigned boring tasks and paid little, definitely not what we had in mind. Charlie later took up law, and I tried selling securities. Job satisfaction continued to elude us.</p><p>Finally, at Berkshire, we found what we love to do. With very few exceptions, we have now “worked” for many decades with people whom we like and trust. It’s a joy in life to join with managers such as Paul Andrews or the Berkshire families I told you about last year. In our home office, we employ decent and talented people – no jerks. Turnover averages, perhaps, one person per year.</p><p>I would like, however, to emphasize a further item that turns our jobs into fun and satisfaction working</p><p>for you. There is nothing more rewarding to Charlie and me than enjoying the trust of individual long-term shareholders who, for many decades, have joined us with the expectation that we would be a reliable custodian of their funds.</p><p>Obviously, we can’t select our owners, as we could do if our form of operation were a partnership. Anyone can buy shares of Berkshire today with the intention of soon reselling them. For sure, we get a few of that type of shareholder, just as we get index funds that own huge amounts of Berkshire simply because they are required to do so.</p><p>To a truly unusual degree, however, Berkshire has as owners a very large corps of individuals and families that have elected to join us with an intent approaching “til death do us part.” Often, they have trusted us with a large – some might say excessive – portion of their savings.</p><p>Berkshire, these shareholders would sometimes acknowledge, might be far from the best selection they could have made. But they would add that Berkshire would rank high among those with which they would be most comfortable. And people who are comfortable with their investments will, on average, achieve better results than those who are motivated by ever-changing headlines, chatter and promises.</p><p>Long-term individual owners are both the “partners” Charlie and I have always sought and the ones we constantly have in mind as we make decisions at Berkshire. To them we say, “It feels good to ‘work’ for you, and you have our thanks for your trust.”</p><h2>The Annual Meeting</h2><p>Clear your calendar! Berkshire will have its annual gathering of capitalists in Omaha on Friday, April 29th through Sunday, May 1st. The details regarding the weekend are laid out on pages A-1 and A-2. Omaha eagerly awaits you, as do I.</p><p>I will end this letter with a sales pitch. “Cousin” Jimmy Buffett has designed a pontoon “party” boat that is now being manufactured by Forest River, a Berkshire subsidiary.

The 91-year-old investing legend has been publishing the letter for over six decades and it has become required reading for investors around the world.</p><p>Warren Buffett said he now considers tech giant Apple as one of the four pillars driving Berkshire Hathaway, the conglomerate of mostly old-economy businesses he’s assembled over the last five decades.</p><p>In his annual letter to shareholders released on Saturday, the 91-year-old investing legend listed Apple under the heading “Our Four Giants” and even called the company the second-most important after Berkshire’s cluster of insurers, thanks to its chief executive.</p><p>“Tim Cook, Apple’s brilliant CEO, quite properly regards users of Apple products as his first love, but all of his other constituencies benefit from Tim’s managerial touch as well,” the letter stated.</p><p>Buffett made clear he is a fan of Cook’s stock repurchase strategy, and how it gives the conglomerate increased ownership of each dollar of the iPhone maker’s earnings without the investor having to lift a finger.</p><p>“Apple – our runner-up Giant as measured by its yearend market value – is a different sort of holding. Here, our ownership is a mere 5.55%, up from 5.39% a year earlier,” Buffett said in the letter. “That increase sounds like small potatoes. But consider that each 0.1% of Apple’s 2021 earnings amounted to $100 million. We spent no Berkshire funds to gain our accretion. Apple’s repurchases did the job.”</p><p>Berkshire began buying Apple stock in 2016 under the influence of Buffett’s investing deputies Todd Combs and Ted Weschler. By mid-2018, the conglomerate accumulated 5% ownership of the iPhone maker, a stake that cost $36 billion. Today, the Apple investment is now worth more than $160 billion, taking up 40% of Berkshire’s equity portfolio.</p><p>“It’s important to understand that only dividends from Apple are counted in the GAAP earnings Berkshire reports – and last year, Apple paid us $785 million of those. Yet our ‘share’ of Apple’s earnings amounted to a staggering $5.6 billion. Much of what the company retained was used to repurchase Apple shares, an act we applaud,” Buffett said.</p><p>Berkshire is Apple’s largest shareholder, outside of index and exchange-traded fund providers.</p><p>Buffett also credited his railroad business BNSF and energy segment BHE as two other giants of the conglomerate, which both registered record earnings in 2021.</p><p>“BNSF, our third Giant, continues to be the number one artery of American commerce, which makes it an indispensable asset for America as well as for Berkshire,” Buffett said. “BHE has become a utility powerhouse and a leading force in wind, solar and transmission throughout much of the United States.”</p><p><b>Read the full letter here：</b></p><p>To the Shareholders of Berkshire Hathaway Inc.:</p><p>Charlie Munger, my long-time partner, and I have the job of managing a portion of your savings. We are honored by your trust.</p><p>Our position carries with it the responsibility to report to you what we would like to know if we were the absentee owner and you were the manager. We enjoy communicating directly with you through this annual letter, and through the annual meeting as well.</p><p>Our policy is to treat all shareholders equally. Therefore, we do not hold discussions with analysts nor large institutions. Whenever possible, also, we release important communications on Saturday mornings in order to maximize the time for shareholders and the media to absorb the news before markets open on Monday.</p><p>A wealth of Berkshire facts and figures are set forth in the annual 10-K that the company regularly files with the S.E.C. and that we reproduce on pages K-1 – K-119. Some shareholders will find this detail engrossing; others will simply prefer to learn what Charlie and I believe is new or interesting at Berkshire.</p><p>Alas, there was little action of that sort in 2021. We did, though, make reasonable progress in increasing the intrinsic value of your shares. That task has been my primary duty for 57 years. And it will continue to be.</p><p><b>What You Own</b></p><p>Berkshire owns a wide variety of businesses, some in their entirety, some only in part. The second group largely consists of marketable common stocks of major American companies. Additionally, we own a few non-U.S. equities and participate in several joint ventures or other collaborative activities.</p><p>Whatever our form of ownership, our goal is to have meaningful investments in businesses with both durable economic advantages and a first-class CEO. Please note particularly that we own stocks based upon our expectations about their long-term business performance and not because we view them as vehicles for timely market moves. That point is crucial: Charlie and I are not stock-pickers; we are business-pickers.</p><p>I make many mistakes. Consequently, our extensive collection of businesses includes some enterprises that have truly extraordinary economics, many others that enjoy good economic characteristics, and a few that are marginal. One advantage of our common-stock segment is that – on occasion – it becomes easy to buy pieces of wonderful businesses at wonderful prices. That shooting-fish-in-a-barrel experience is very rare in negotiated transactions and never occurs en masse. It is also far easier to exit from a mistake when it has been made in the marketable arena.</p><h2><b>Surprise, Surprise</b></h2><p>Here are a few items about your company that often surprise even seasoned investors:</p><p>• Many people perceive Berkshire as a large and somewhat strange collection of financial assets. In truth, Berkshire owns and operates more U.S.-based “infrastructure” assets – classified on our balance sheet as property, plant and equipment – than are owned and operated by any other American corporation. That supremacy has never been our goal. It has, however, become a fact.</p><p>At yearend, those domestic infrastructure assets were carried on Berkshire’s balance sheet at $158 billion. That number increased last year and will continue to increase. Berkshire always will be building.</p><p>• Every year, your company makes substantial federal income tax payments. In 2021, for example, we paid</p><p>$3.3 billion while the U.S. Treasury reported total corporate income-tax receipts of $402 billion. Additionally, Berkshire pays substantial state and foreign taxes. “I gave at the office” is an unassailable assertion when made by Berkshire shareholders.</p><p>Berkshire’s history vividly illustrates the invisible and often unrecognized financial partnership between  government and American businesses. Our tale begins early in 1955, when Berkshire Fine Spinning and Hathaway Manufacturing agreed to merge their businesses. In their requests for shareholder approval, these venerable New England textile companies expressed high hopes for the combination.</p><p></p><p>The Hathaway solicitation, for example, assured its shareholders that “The combination of the resources and managements will result in one of the strongest and most efficient organizations in the textile industry.” That upbeat view was endorsed by the company’s advisor, Lehman Brothers (yes, that Lehman Brothers).</p><p>I’m sure it was a joyous day in both Fall River (Berkshire) and New Bedford (Hathaway) when the union was consummated. After the bands stopped playing and the bankers went home, however, the shareholders reaped a disaster.</p><p>In the nine years following the merger, Berkshire’s owners watched the company’s net worth crater from</p><p>$51.4 million to $22.1 million. In part, this decline was caused by stock repurchases, ill-advised dividends and plant shutdowns. But nine years of effort by many thousands of employees delivered an operating loss as well. Berkshire’s struggles were not unusual: The New England textile industry had silently entered an extended and non-reversible death march.</p><p>During the nine post-merger years, the U.S. Treasury suffered as well from Berkshire’s troubles. All told, the company paid the government only $337,359 in income tax during that period – a pathetic $100 per day.</p><p>Early in 1965, things changed. Berkshire installed new management that redeployed available cash and steered essentially all earnings into a variety of good businesses, most of which remained good through the years. Coupling reinvestment of earnings with the power of compounding worked its magic, and shareholders prospered.</p><p>Berkshire’s owners, it should be noted, were not the only beneficiary of that course correction. Their “silent partner,” the U.S. Treasury, proceeded to collect many tens of billions of dollars from the company in income tax payments. Remember the $100 daily? Now, Berkshire pays roughly $9 million daily to the Treasury.</p><p>In fairness to our governmental partner, our shareholders should acknowledge – indeed trumpet – the fact that Berkshire’s prosperity has been fostered mightily because the company has operated in America. Our country would have done splendidly in the years since 1965 without Berkshire. Absent our American home, however, Berkshire would never have come close to becoming what it is today. When you see the flag, say thanks.</p><p>• From an $8.6 million purchase of National Indemnity in 1967, Berkshire has become the world leader in insurance “float” – money we hold and can invest but that does not belong to us. Including a relatively small sum derived from life insurance, Berkshire’s total float has grown from $19 million when we entered the insurance business to $147 billion.</p><p>So far, this float has cost us less than nothing. Though we have experienced a number of years when insurance losses combined with operating expenses exceeded premiums, overall we have earned a modest 55-year profit from the underwriting activities that generated our float.</p><p>Of equal importance, float is very sticky. Funds attributable to our insurance operations come and go daily, but their aggregate total is immune from precipitous decline. When it comes to investing float, we can therefore think long-term.</p><p>If you are not already familiar with the concept of float, I refer you to a long explanation on page A-5. To my surprise, our float increased $9 billion last year, a buildup of value that is important to Berkshire owners though is not reflected in our GAAP (“generally-accepted accounting principles”) presentation of earnings and net worth.</p><p>Much of our huge value creation in insurance is attributable to Berkshire’s good luck in my 1986 hiring of Ajit Jain. We first met on a Saturday morning, and I quickly asked Ajit what his insurance experience had been. He replied, “None.”</p><p>I said, “Nobody’s perfect,” and hired him. That was my lucky day: Ajit actually was as perfect a choice as could have been made. Better yet, he continues to be – 35 years later.</p><p>One final thought about insurance: I believe that it is likely – but far from assured – that Berkshire’s float can be maintained without our incurring a long-term underwriting loss. I am certain, however, that there will be some years when we experience such losses, perhaps involving very large sums.</p><p>Berkshire is constructed to handle catastrophic events as no other insurer – and that priority will remain long after Charlie and I are gone.</p><h2>Our Four Giants</h2><p>Through Berkshire, our shareholders own many dozens of businesses. Some of these, in turn, have a collection of subsidiaries of their own. For example, Marmon has more than 100 individual business operations, ranging from the leasing of railroad cars to the manufacture of medical devices.</p><p>• Nevertheless, operations of our “Big Four” companies account for a very large chunk of Berkshire’s value. Leading this list is our cluster of insurers. Berkshire effectively owns 100% of this group, whose massive float value we earlier described. The invested assets of these insurers are further enlarged by the extraordinary amount of capital we invest to back up their promises.</p><p>The insurance business is made to order for Berkshire. The product will never be obsolete, and sales volume will generally increase along with both economic growth and inflation. Also, integrity and capital will forever be important. Our company can and will behave well.</p><p>There are, of course, other insurers with excellent business models and prospects. Replication of Berkshire’s operation, however, would be almost impossible.</p><p>• Apple – our runner-up Giant as measured by its yearend market value – is a different sort of holding. Here, our ownership is a mere 5.55%, up from 5.39% a year earlier. That increase sounds like small potatoes. But consider that each 0.1% of Apple’s 2021 earnings amounted to $100 million. We spent no Berkshire funds to gain our accretion. Apple’s repurchases did the job.</p><p>It’s important to understand that only dividends from Apple are counted in the GAAP earnings Berkshire reports – and last year, Apple paid us $785 million of those. Yet our “share” of Apple’s earnings amounted to a staggering $5.6 billion. Much of what the company retained was used to repurchase Apple shares, an act we applaud. Tim Cook, Apple’s brilliant CEO, quite properly regards users of Apple products as his first love, but all of his other constituencies benefit from Tim’s managerial touch as well.</p><p>• BNSF, our third Giant, continues to be the number one artery of American commerce, which makes it an indispensable asset for America as well as for Berkshire. If the many essential products BNSF carries were instead hauled by truck, America’s carbon emissions would soar.</p><p>Your railroad had record earnings of $6 billion in 2021. Here, it should be noted, we are talking about the old-fashioned sort of earnings that we favor: a figure calculated after interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and all forms of compensation. (Our definition suggests a warning: Deceptive “adjustments” to earnings – to use a polite description – have become both more frequent and more fanciful as stocks have risen. Speaking less politely, I would say that bull markets breed bloviated bull )</p><p>BNSF trains traveled 143 million miles last year and carried 535 million tons of cargo. Both accomplishments far exceed those of any other American carrier. You can be proud of your railroad.</p><p>• BHE, our final Giant, earned a record $4 billion in 2021. That’s up more than 30-fold from the $122 million earned in 2000, the year that Berkshire first purchased a BHE stake. Now, Berkshire owns 91.1% of the company.</p><p>BHE’s record of societal accomplishment is as remarkable as its financial performance. The company had no wind or solar generation in 2000. It was then regarded simply as a relatively new and minor participant in the huge electric utility industry. Subsequently, under David Sokol’s and Greg Abel’s leadership, BHE has become a utility powerhouse (no groaning, please) and a leading force in wind, solar and transmission throughout much of the United States.</p><p>Greg’s report on these accomplishments appears on pages A-3 and A-4. The profile you will find there is not in any way one of those currently-fashionable “green-washing” stories. BHE has been faithfully detailing its plans and performance in renewables and transmissions every year since 2007.</p><p>To further review this information, visit BHE’s website at brkenergy.com. There, you will see that the company has long been making climate-conscious moves that soak up all of its earnings. More opportunities lie ahead. BHE has the management, the experience, the capital and the appetite for the huge power projects that our country needs.</p><h2>Investments</h2><p>Now let’s talk about companies we don’t control, a list that again references Apple. Below we list our fifteen largest equity holdings, several of which are selections of Berkshire’s two long-time investment managers, Todd Combs and Ted Weschler. At yearend, this valued pair had total authority in respect to $34 billion of investments, many of which do not meet the threshold value we use in the table. Also, a significant portion of the dollars that Todd and Ted manage are lodged in various pension plans of Berkshire-owned businesses, with the assets of these plans not included in this table.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d43587e9f59c0ff76e6c04c6bf9af324\" tg-width=\"1047\" tg-height=\"530\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>* This is our actual purchase price and also our tax basis.</p><p>** Held by BHE; consequently, Berkshire shareholders have only a 91.1% interest in this position.</p><p>*** Includes a $10 billion investment in Occidental Petroleum, consisting of preferred stock and warrants to buy common stock, a combination now being valued at $10.7 billion.</p><p>In addition to the footnoted Occidental holding and our various common-stock positions, Berkshire also owns a 26.6% interest in Kraft Heinz (accounted for on the “equity” method, not market value, and carried at $13.1 billion) and 38.6% of Pilot Corp., a leader in travel centers that had revenues last year of $45 billion.</p><p>Since we purchased our Pilot stake in 2017, this holding has warranted “equity” accounting treatment. Early in 2023, Berkshire will purchase an additional interest in Pilot that will raise our ownership to 80% and lead to our fully consolidating Pilot’s earnings, assets and liabilities in our financial statements.</p><h2>U.S. Treasury Bills</h2><p>Berkshire’s balance sheet includes $144 billion of cash and cash equivalents (excluding the holdings of BNSF and BHE). Of this sum, $120 billion is held in U.S. Treasury bills, all maturing in less than a year. That stake leaves Berkshire financing about 12 of 1% of the publicly-held national debt.</p><p>Charlie and I have pledged that Berkshire (along with our subsidiaries other than BNSF and BHE) will always hold more than $30 billion of cash and equivalents. We want your company to be financially impregnable and never dependent on the kindness of strangers (or even that of friends). Both of us like to sleep soundly, and we want our creditors, insurance claimants and you to do so as well.</p><h2>But $144 billion?</h2><p>That imposing sum, I assure you, is not some deranged expression of patriotism. Nor have Charlie and I lost our overwhelming preference for business ownership. Indeed, I first manifested my enthusiasm for that 80 years ago, on March 11, 1942, when I purchased three shares of Cities Services preferred stock. Their cost was $114.75 and required all of my savings. (The Dow Jones Industrial Average that day closed at 99, a fact that should scream to you: Never bet against America.)</p><p>After my initial plunge, I always kept at least 80% of my net worth in equities. My favored status throughout that period was 100% – and still is. Berkshire’s current 80%-or-so position in businesses is a consequence of my failure to find entire companies or small portions thereof (that is, marketable stocks) which meet our criteria for long- term holding.</p><p>Charlie and I have endured similar cash-heavy positions from time to time in the past. These periods are never pleasant; they are also never permanent. And, fortunately, we have had a mildly attractive alternative during 2020 and 2021 for deploying capital. Read on.</p><h2>Share Repurchases</h2><p>There are three ways that we can increase the value of your investment. The first is always front and center in our minds: Increase the long-term earning power of Berkshire’s controlled businesses through internal growth or by making acquisitions. Today, internal opportunities deliver far better returns than acquisitions. The size of those opportunities, however, is small compared to Berkshire’s resources.</p><p>Our second choice is to buy non-controlling part-interests in the many good or great businesses that are publicly traded. From time to time, such possibilities are both numerous and blatantly attractive. Today, though, we find little that excites us.</p><p>That’s largely because of a truism: Long-term interest rates that are low push the prices of all productive investments upward, whether these are stocks, apartments, farms, oil wells, whatever. Other factors influence valuations as well, but interest rates will always be important.</p><p>Our final path to value creation is to repurchase Berkshire shares. Through that simple act, we increase your share of the many controlled and non-controlled businesses Berkshire owns. When the price/value equation is right, this path is the easiest and most certain way for us to increase your wealth. (Alongside the accretion of value to continuing shareholders, a couple of other parties gain: Repurchases are modestly beneficial to the seller of the repurchased shares and to society as well.)</p><p>Periodically, as alternative paths become unattractive, repurchases make good sense for Berkshire’s owners. During the past two years, we therefore repurchased 9% of the shares that were outstanding at yearend 2019 for a total cost of $51.7 billion. That expenditure left our continuing shareholders owning about 10% more of all Berkshire businesses, whether these are wholly-owned (such as BNSF and GEICO) or partly-owned (such as Coca-Cola and Moody’s).</p><p>I want to underscore that for Berkshire repurchases to make sense, our shares must offer appropriate value. We don’t want to overpay for the shares of other companies, and it would be value-destroying if we were to overpay when we are buying Berkshire. As of February 23, 2022, since yearend we repurchased additional shares at a cost of $1.2 billion. Our appetite remains large but will always remain price-dependent.</p><p>It should be noted that Berkshire’s buyback opportunities are limited because of its high-class investor base. If our shares were heavily held by short-term speculators, both price volatility and transaction volumes would materially increase. That kind of reshaping would offer us far greater opportunities for creating value by making repurchases. Nevertheless, Charlie and I far prefer the owners we have, even though their admirable buy-and-keep attitudes limit the extent to which long-term shareholders can profit from opportunistic repurchases.</p><p>Finally, one easily-overlooked value calculation specific to Berkshire: As we’ve discussed, insurance “float” of the right sort is of great value to us. As it happens, repurchases automatically increase the amount of “float” per share. That figure has increased during the past two years by 25% – going from $79,387 per “A” share to $99,497, a meaningful gain that, as noted, owes some thanks to repurchases.</p><h2>A Wonderful Man and a Wonderful Business</h2><p>Last year, Paul Andrews died. Paul was the founder and CEO of TTI, a Fort Worth-based subsidiary of Berkshire. Throughout his life – in both his business and his personal pursuits – Paul quietly displayed all the qualities that Charlie and I admire. His story should be told.</p><p>In 1971, Paul was working as a purchasing agent for General Dynamics when the roof fell in. After losing a huge defense contract, the company fired thousands of employees, including Paul.</p><p>With his first child due soon, Paul decided to bet on himself, using $500 of his savings to found Tex-Tronics (later renamed TTI). The company set itself up to distribute small electronic components, and first-year sales totaled $112,000. Today, TTI markets more than one million different items with annual volume of $7.7 billion.</p><p>But back to 2006: Paul, at 63, then found himself happy with his family, his job, and his associates. But he had one nagging worry, heightened because he had recently witnessed a friend’s early death and the disastrous results that followed for that man’s family and business. What, Paul asked himself in 2006, would happen to the many people depending on him if he should unexpectedly die?</p><p>For a year, Paul wrestled with his options. Sell to a competitor? From a strictly economic viewpoint, that course made the most sense. After all, competitors could envision lucrative “synergies” – savings that would be achieved as the acquiror slashed duplicated functions at TTI.</p><p>But . . . Such a purchaser would most certainly also retain its CFO, its legal counsel, its HR unit. Their TTI counterparts would therefore be sent packing. And ugh! If a new distribution center were to be needed, the acquirer’s home city would certainly be favored over Fort Worth.</p><p>Whatever the financial benefits, Paul quickly concluded that selling to a competitor was not for him. He next considered seeking a financial buyer, a species once labeled – aptly so – a leveraged buyout firm. Paul knew, however, that such a purchaser would be focused on an “exit strategy.” And who could know what that would be? Brooding over it all, Paul found himself having no interest in handing his 35-year-old creation over to a reseller.</p><p>When Paul met me, he explained why he had eliminated these two alternatives as buyers. He then summed up his dilemma by saying – in far more tactful phrasing than this – “After a year of pondering the alternatives, I want to sell to Berkshire because you are the only guy left.” So, I made an offer and Paul said “Yes.” One meeting; one lunch; one deal.</p><p>To say we both lived happily ever after is an understatement. When Berkshire purchased TTI, the company employed 2,387. Now the number is 8,043. A large percentage of that growth took place in Fort Worth and environs. Earnings have increased 673%.</p><p>Annually, I would call Paul and tell him his salary should be substantially increased. Annually, he would tell me, “We can talk about that next year, Warren; I’m too busy now.”</p><p>When Greg Abel and I attended Paul’s memorial service, we met children, grandchildren, long-time associates (including TTI’s first employee) and John Roach, the former CEO of a Fort Worth company Berkshire had purchased in 2000. John had steered his friend Paul to Omaha, instinctively knowing we would be a match.</p><p>At the service, Greg and I heard about the multitudes of people and organizations that Paul had silently supported. The breadth of his generosity was extraordinary – geared always to improving the lives of others, particularly those in Fort Worth.</p><p>In all ways, Paul was a class act.</p><p>* * * * * * * * * * * *</p><p>Good luck – occasionally extraordinary luck – has played its part at Berkshire. If Paul and I had not enjoyed a mutual friend – John Roach – TTI would not have found its home with us. But that ample serving of luck was only the beginning. TTI was soon to lead Berkshire to its most important acquisition.</p><p>Every fall, Berkshire directors gather for a presentation by a few of our executives. We sometimes choose the site based upon the location of a recent acquisition, by that means allowing directors to meet the new subsidiary’s CEO and learn more about the acquiree’s activities.</p><p>In the fall of 2009, we consequently selected Fort Worth so that we could visit TTI. At that time, BNSF, which also had Fort Worth as its hometown, was the third-largest holding among our marketable equities. Despite that large stake, I had never visited the railroad’s headquarters.</p><p>Deb Bosanek, my assistant, scheduled our board’s opening dinner for October 22. Meanwhile, I arranged to arrive earlier that day to meet with Matt Rose, CEO of BNSF, whose accomplishments I had long admired. When I made the date, I had no idea that our get-together would coincide with BNSF’s third-quarter earnings report, which was released late on the 22nd.</p><p>The market reacted badly to the railroad’s results. The Great Recession was in full force in the third quarter, and BNSF’s earnings reflected that slump. The economic outlook was also bleak, and Wall Street wasn’t feeling friendly to railroads – or much else.</p><p>On the following day, I again got together with Matt and suggested that Berkshire would offer the railroad a better long-term home than it could expect as a public company. I also told him the maximum price that Berkshire would pay.</p><p>Matt relayed the offer to his directors and advisors. Eleven busy days later, Berkshire and BNSF announced a firm deal. And here I’ll venture a rare prediction: BNSF will be a key asset for Berkshire and our country a century from now.</p><p>The BNSF acquisition would never have happened if Paul Andrews hadn’t sized up Berkshire as the right home for TTI.</p><h2>Thanks</h2><p>I taught my first investing class 70 years ago. Since then, I have enjoyed working almost every year with students of all ages, finally “retiring” from that pursuit in 2018.</p><p>Along the way, my toughest audience was my grandson’s fifth-grade class. The 11-year-olds were squirming in their seats and giving me blank stares until I mentioned Coca-Cola and its famous secret formula. Instantly, every hand went up, and I learned that “secrets” are catnip to kids.</p><p>Teaching, like writing, has helped me develop and clarify my own thoughts. Charlie calls this phenomenon the orangutan effect: If you sit down with an orangutan and carefully explain to it one of your cherished ideas, you may leave behind a puzzled primate, but will yourself exit thinking more clearly.</p><p>Talking to university students is far superior. I have urged that they seek employment in (1) the field and (2) with the kind of people they would select, if they had no need for money. Economic realities, I acknowledge, may interfere with that kind of search. Even so, I urge the students never to give up the quest, for when they find that sort of job, they will no longer be “working.”</p><p>Charlie and I, ourselves, followed that liberating course after a few early stumbles. We both started as part- timers at my grandfather’s grocery store, Charlie in 1940 and I in 1942. We were each assigned boring tasks and paid little, definitely not what we had in mind. Charlie later took up law, and I tried selling securities. Job satisfaction continued to elude us.</p><p>Finally, at Berkshire, we found what we love to do. With very few exceptions, we have now “worked” for many decades with people whom we like and trust. It’s a joy in life to join with managers such as Paul Andrews or the Berkshire families I told you about last year. In our home office, we employ decent and talented people – no jerks. Turnover averages, perhaps, one person per year.</p><p>I would like, however, to emphasize a further item that turns our jobs into fun and satisfaction working</p><p>for you. There is nothing more rewarding to Charlie and me than enjoying the trust of individual long-term shareholders who, for many decades, have joined us with the expectation that we would be a reliable custodian of their funds.</p><p>Obviously, we can’t select our owners, as we could do if our form of operation were a partnership. Anyone can buy shares of Berkshire today with the intention of soon reselling them. For sure, we get a few of that type of shareholder, just as we get index funds that own huge amounts of Berkshire simply because they are required to do so.</p><p>To a truly unusual degree, however, Berkshire has as owners a very large corps of individuals and families that have elected to join us with an intent approaching “til death do us part.” Often, they have trusted us with a large – some might say excessive – portion of their savings.</p><p>Berkshire, these shareholders would sometimes acknowledge, might be far from the best selection they could have made. But they would add that Berkshire would rank high among those with which they would be most comfortable. And people who are comfortable with their investments will, on average, achieve better results than those who are motivated by ever-changing headlines, chatter and promises.</p><p>Long-term individual owners are both the “partners” Charlie and I have always sought and the ones we constantly have in mind as we make decisions at Berkshire. To them we say, “It feels good to ‘work’ for you, and you have our thanks for your trust.”</p><h2>The Annual Meeting</h2><p>Clear your calendar!

The 91-year-old investing legend has been publishing the letter for over six decades and it has become required reading for investors around the world.Warren Buffett said he now considers tech giant Apple as one of the four pillars driving Berkshire Hathaway, the conglomerate of mostly old-economy businesses he’s assembled over the last five decades.In his annual letter to shareholders released on Saturday, the 91-year-old investing legend listed Apple under the heading “Our Four Giants” and even called the company the second-most important after Berkshire’s cluster of insurers, thanks to its chief executive.“Tim Cook, Apple’s brilliant CEO, quite properly regards users of Apple products as his first love, but all of his other constituencies benefit from Tim’s managerial touch as well,” the letter stated.Buffett made clear he is a fan of Cook’s stock repurchase strategy, and how it gives the conglomerate increased ownership of each dollar of the iPhone maker’s earnings without the investor having to lift a finger.“Apple – our runner-up Giant as measured by its yearend market value – is a different sort of holding. Here, our ownership is a mere 5.55%, up from 5.39% a year earlier,” Buffett said in the letter. “That increase sounds like small potatoes. But consider that each 0.1% of Apple’s 2021 earnings amounted to $100 million. We spent no Berkshire funds to gain our accretion. Apple’s repurchases did the job.”Berkshire began buying Apple stock in 2016 under the influence of Buffett’s investing deputies Todd Combs and Ted Weschler. By mid-2018, the conglomerate accumulated 5% ownership of the iPhone maker, a stake that cost $36 billion. Today, the Apple investment is now worth more than $160 billion, taking up 40% of Berkshire’s equity portfolio.“It’s important to understand that only dividends from Apple are counted in the GAAP earnings Berkshire reports – and last year, Apple paid us $785 million of those. Yet our ‘share’ of Apple’s earnings amounted to a staggering $5.6 billion. Much of what the company retained was used to repurchase Apple shares, an act we applaud,” Buffett said.Berkshire is Apple’s largest shareholder, outside of index and exchange-traded fund providers.Buffett also credited his railroad business BNSF and energy segment BHE as two other giants of the conglomerate, which both registered record earnings in 2021.“BNSF, our third Giant, continues to be the number one artery of American commerce, which makes it an indispensable asset for America as well as for Berkshire,” Buffett said. “BHE has become a utility powerhouse and a leading force in wind, solar and transmission throughout much of the United States.”Read the full letter here：To the Shareholders of Berkshire Hathaway Inc.:Charlie Munger, my long-time partner, and I have the job of managing a portion of your savings. We are honored by your trust.Our position carries with it the responsibility to report to you what we would like to know if we were the absentee owner and you were the manager. We enjoy communicating directly with you through this annual letter, and through the annual meeting as well.Our policy is to treat all shareholders equally. Therefore, we do not hold discussions with analysts nor large institutions. Whenever possible, also, we release important communications on Saturday mornings in order to maximize the time for shareholders and the media to absorb the news before markets open on Monday.A wealth of Berkshire facts and figures are set forth in the annual 10-K that the company regularly files with the S.E.C. and that we reproduce on pages K-1 – K-119. Some shareholders will find this detail engrossing; others will simply prefer to learn what Charlie and I believe is new or interesting at Berkshire.Alas, there was little action of that sort in 2021. We did, though, make reasonable progress in increasing the intrinsic value of your shares. That task has been my primary duty for 57 years. And it will continue to be.What You OwnBerkshire owns a wide variety of businesses, some in their entirety, some only in part. The second group largely consists of marketable common stocks of major American companies. Additionally, we own a few non-U.S. equities and participate in several joint ventures or other collaborative activities.Whatever our form of ownership, our goal is to have meaningful investments in businesses with both durable economic advantages and a first-class CEO. Please note particularly that we own stocks based upon our expectations about their long-term business performance and not because we view them as vehicles for timely market moves. That point is crucial: Charlie and I are not stock-pickers; we are business-pickers.I make many mistakes. Consequently, our extensive collection of businesses includes some enterprises that have truly extraordinary economics, many others that enjoy good economic characteristics, and a few that are marginal. One advantage of our common-stock segment is that – on occasion – it becomes easy to buy pieces of wonderful businesses at wonderful prices. That shooting-fish-in-a-barrel experience is very rare in negotiated transactions and never occurs en masse. It is also far easier to exit from a mistake when it has been made in the marketable arena.Surprise, SurpriseHere are a few items about your company that often surprise even seasoned investors:• Many people perceive Berkshire as a large and somewhat strange collection of financial assets. In truth, Berkshire owns and operates more U.S.-based “infrastructure” assets – classified on our balance sheet as property, plant and equipment – than are owned and operated by any other American corporation. That supremacy has never been our goal. It has, however, become a fact.At yearend, those domestic infrastructure assets were carried on Berkshire’s balance sheet at $158 billion. That number increased last year and will continue to increase. Berkshire always will be building.• Every year, your company makes substantial federal income tax payments. In 2021, for example, we paid$3.3 billion while the U.S. Treasury reported total corporate income-tax receipts of $402 billion. Additionally, Berkshire pays substantial state and foreign taxes. “I gave at the office” is an unassailable assertion when made by Berkshire shareholders.Berkshire’s history vividly illustrates the invisible and often unrecognized financial partnership between  government and American businesses. Our tale begins early in 1955, when Berkshire Fine Spinning and Hathaway Manufacturing agreed to merge their businesses. In their requests for shareholder approval, these venerable New England textile companies expressed high hopes for the combination.The Hathaway solicitation, for example, assured its shareholders that “The combination of the resources and managements will result in one of the strongest and most efficient organizations in the textile industry.” That upbeat view was endorsed by the company’s advisor, Lehman Brothers (yes, that Lehman Brothers).I’m sure it was a joyous day in both Fall River (Berkshire) and New Bedford (Hathaway) when the union was consummated. After the bands stopped playing and the bankers went home, however, the shareholders reaped a disaster.In the nine years following the merger, Berkshire’s owners watched the company’s net worth crater from$51.4 million to $22.1 million. In part, this decline was caused by stock repurchases, ill-advised dividends and plant shutdowns. But nine years of effort by many thousands of employees delivered an operating loss as well. Berkshire’s struggles were not unusual: The New England textile industry had silently entered an extended and non-reversible death march.During the nine post-merger years, the U.S. Treasury suffered as well from Berkshire’s troubles. All told, the company paid the government only $337,359 in income tax during that period – a pathetic $100 per day.Early in 1965, things changed. Berkshire installed new management that redeployed available cash and steered essentially all earnings into a variety of good businesses, most of which remained good through the years. Coupling reinvestment of earnings with the power of compounding worked its magic, and shareholders prospered.Berkshire’s owners, it should be noted, were not the only beneficiary of that course correction. Their “silent partner,” the U.S. Treasury, proceeded to collect many tens of billions of dollars from the company in income tax payments. Remember the $100 daily? Now, Berkshire pays roughly $9 million daily to the Treasury.In fairness to our governmental partner, our shareholders should acknowledge – indeed trumpet – the fact that Berkshire’s prosperity has been fostered mightily because the company has operated in America. Our country would have done splendidly in the years since 1965 without Berkshire. Absent our American home, however, Berkshire would never have come close to becoming what it is today. When you see the flag, say thanks.• From an $8.6 million purchase of National Indemnity in 1967, Berkshire has become the world leader in insurance “float” – money we hold and can invest but that does not belong to us. Including a relatively small sum derived from life insurance, Berkshire’s total float has grown from $19 million when we entered the insurance business to $147 billion.So far, this float has cost us less than nothing. Though we have experienced a number of years when insurance losses combined with operating expenses exceeded premiums, overall we have earned a modest 55-year profit from the underwriting activities that generated our float.Of equal importance, float is very sticky. Funds attributable to our insurance operations come and go daily, but their aggregate total is immune from precipitous decline. When it comes to investing float, we can therefore think long-term.If you are not already familiar with the concept of float, I refer you to a long explanation on page A-5. To my surprise, our float increased $9 billion last year, a buildup of value that is important to Berkshire owners though is not reflected in our GAAP (“generally-accepted accounting principles”) presentation of earnings and net worth.Much of our huge value creation in insurance is attributable to Berkshire’s good luck in my 1986 hiring of Ajit Jain. We first met on a Saturday morning, and I quickly asked Ajit what his insurance experience had been. He replied, “None.”I said, “Nobody’s perfect,” and hired him. That was my lucky day: Ajit actually was as perfect a choice as could have been made. Better yet, he continues to be – 35 years later.One final thought about insurance: I believe that it is likely – but far from assured – that Berkshire’s float can be maintained without our incurring a long-term underwriting loss. I am certain, however, that there will be some years when we experience such losses, perhaps involving very large sums.Berkshire is constructed to handle catastrophic events as no other insurer – and that priority will remain long after Charlie and I are gone.Our Four GiantsThrough Berkshire, our shareholders own many dozens of businesses. Some of these, in turn, have a collection of subsidiaries of their own. For example, Marmon has more than 100 individual business operations, ranging from the leasing of railroad cars to the manufacture of medical devices.• Nevertheless, operations of our “Big Four” companies account for a very large chunk of Berkshire’s value. Leading this list is our cluster of insurers. Berkshire effectively owns 100% of this group, whose massive float value we earlier described. The invested assets of these insurers are further enlarged by the extraordinary amount of capital we invest to back up their promises.The insurance business is made to order for Berkshire. The product will never be obsolete, and sales volume will generally increase along with both economic growth and inflation. Also, integrity and capital will forever be important. Our company can and will behave well.There are, of course, other insurers with excellent business models and prospects. Replication of Berkshire’s operation, however, would be almost impossible.• Apple – our runner-up Giant as measured by its yearend market value – is a different sort of holding. Here, our ownership is a mere 5.55%, up from 5.39% a year earlier. That increase sounds like small potatoes. But consider that each 0.1% of Apple’s 2021 earnings amounted to $100 million. We spent no Berkshire funds to gain our accretion. Apple’s repurchases did the job.It’s important to understand that only dividends from Apple are counted in the GAAP earnings Berkshire reports – and last year, Apple paid us $785 million of those. Yet our “share” of Apple’s earnings amounted to a staggering $5.6 billion. Much of what the company retained was used to repurchase Apple shares, an act we applaud. Tim Cook, Apple’s brilliant CEO, quite properly regards users of Apple products as his first love, but all of his other constituencies benefit from Tim’s managerial touch as well.• BNSF, our third Giant, continues to be the number one artery of American commerce, which makes it an indispensable asset for America as well as for Berkshire. If the many essential products BNSF carries were instead hauled by truck, America’s carbon emissions would soar.Your railroad had record earnings of $6 billion in 2021. Here, it should be noted, we are talking about the old-fashioned sort of earnings that we favor: a figure calculated after interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and all forms of compensation. (Our definition suggests a warning: Deceptive “adjustments” to earnings – to use a polite description – have become both more frequent and more fanciful as stocks have risen. Speaking less politely, I would say that bull markets breed bloviated bull )BNSF trains traveled 143 million miles last year and carried 535 million tons of cargo. Both accomplishments far exceed those of any other American carrier. You can be proud of your railroad.• BHE, our final Giant, earned a record $4 billion in 2021. That’s up more than 30-fold from the $122 million earned in 2000, the year that Berkshire first purchased a BHE stake. Now, Berkshire owns 91.1% of the company.BHE’s record of societal accomplishment is as remarkable as its financial performance. The company had no wind or solar generation in 2000. It was then regarded simply as a relatively new and minor participant in the huge electric utility industry. Subsequently, under David Sokol’s and Greg Abel’s leadership, BHE has become a utility powerhouse (no groaning, please) and a leading force in wind, solar and transmission throughout much of the United States.Greg’s report on these accomplishments appears on pages A-3 and A-4. The profile you will find there is not in any way one of those currently-fashionable “green-washing” stories. BHE has been faithfully detailing its plans and performance in renewables and transmissions every year since 2007.To further review this information, visit BHE’s website at brkenergy.com. There, you will see that the company has long been making climate-conscious moves that soak up all of its earnings. More opportunities lie ahead. BHE has the management, the experience, the capital and the appetite for the huge power projects that our country needs.InvestmentsNow let’s talk about companies we don’t control, a list that again references Apple. Below we list our fifteen largest equity holdings, several of which are selections of Berkshire’s two long-time investment managers, Todd Combs and Ted Weschler. At yearend, this valued pair had total authority in respect to $34 billion of investments, many of which do not meet the threshold value we use in the table. Also, a significant portion of the dollars that Todd and Ted manage are lodged in various pension plans of Berkshire-owned businesses, with the assets of these plans not included in this table.* This is our actual purchase price and also our tax basis.** Held by BHE; consequently, Berkshire shareholders have only a 91.1% interest in this position.*** Includes a $10 billion investment in Occidental Petroleum, consisting of preferred stock and warrants to buy common stock, a combination now being valued at $10.7 billion.In addition to the footnoted Occidental holding and our various common-stock positions, Berkshire also owns a 26.6% interest in Kraft Heinz (accounted for on the “equity” method, not market value, and carried at $13.1 billion) and 38.6% of Pilot Corp., a leader in travel centers that had revenues last year of $45 billion.Since we purchased our Pilot stake in 2017, this holding has warranted “equity” accounting treatment. Early in 2023, Berkshire will purchase an additional interest in Pilot that will raise our ownership to 80% and lead to our fully consolidating Pilot’s earnings, assets and liabilities in our financial statements.U.S. Treasury BillsBerkshire’s balance sheet includes $144 billion of cash and cash equivalents (excluding the holdings of BNSF and BHE). Of this sum, $120 billion is held in U.S. Treasury bills, all maturing in less than a year. That stake leaves Berkshire financing about 12 of 1% of the publicly-held national debt.Charlie and I have pledged that Berkshire (along with our subsidiaries other than BNSF and BHE) will always hold more than $30 billion of cash and equivalents. We want your company to be financially impregnable and never dependent on the kindness of strangers (or even that of friends). Both of us like to sleep soundly, and we want our creditors, insurance claimants and you to do so as well.But $144 billion?That imposing sum, I assure you, is not some deranged expression of patriotism. Nor have Charlie and I lost our overwhelming preference for business ownership. Indeed, I first manifested my enthusiasm for that 80 years ago, on March 11, 1942, when I purchased three shares of Cities Services preferred stock. Their cost was $114.75 and required all of my savings. (The Dow Jones Industrial Average that day closed at 99, a fact that should scream to you: Never bet against America.)After my initial plunge, I always kept at least 80% of my net worth in equities. My favored status throughout that period was 100% – and still is. Berkshire’s current 80%-or-so position in businesses is a consequence of my failure to find entire companies or small portions thereof (that is, marketable stocks) which meet our criteria for long- term holding.Charlie and I have endured similar cash-heavy positions from time to time in the past. These periods are never pleasant; they are also never permanent. And, fortunately, we have had a mildly attractive alternative during 2020 and 2021 for deploying capital. Read on.Share RepurchasesThere are three ways that we can increase the value of your investment. The first is always front and center in our minds: Increase the long-term earning power of Berkshire’s controlled businesses through internal growth or by making acquisitions. Today, internal opportunities deliver far better returns than acquisitions. The size of those opportunities, however, is small compared to Berkshire’s resources.Our second choice is to buy non-controlling part-interests in the many good or great businesses that are publicly traded. From time to time, such possibilities are both numerous and blatantly attractive. Today, though, we find little that excites us.That’s largely because of a truism: Long-term interest rates that are low push the prices of all productive investments upward, whether these are stocks, apartments, farms, oil wells, whatever. Other factors influence valuations as well, but interest rates will always be important.Our final path to value creation is to repurchase Berkshire shares. Through that simple act, we increase your share of the many controlled and non-controlled businesses Berkshire owns. When the price/value equation is right, this path is the easiest and most certain way for us to increase your wealth. (Alongside the accretion of value to continuing shareholders, a couple of other parties gain: Repurchases are modestly beneficial to the seller of the repurchased shares and to society as well.)Periodically, as alternative paths become unattractive, repurchases make good sense for Berkshire’s owners. During the past two years, we therefore repurchased 9% of the shares that were outstanding at yearend 2019 for a total cost of $51.7 billion. That expenditure left our continuing shareholders owning about 10% more of all Berkshire businesses, whether these are wholly-owned (such as BNSF and GEICO) or partly-owned (such as Coca-Cola and Moody’s).I want to underscore that for Berkshire repurchases to make sense, our shares must offer appropriate value. We don’t want to overpay for the shares of other companies, and it would be value-destroying if we were to overpay when we are buying Berkshire. As of February 23, 2022, since yearend we repurchased additional shares at a cost of $1.2 billion. Our appetite remains large but will always remain price-dependent.It should be noted that Berkshire’s buyback opportunities are limited because of its high-class investor base. If our shares were heavily held by short-term speculators, both price volatility and transaction volumes would materially increase. That kind of reshaping would offer us far greater opportunities for creating value by making repurchases. Nevertheless, Charlie and I far prefer the owners we have, even though their admirable buy-and-keep attitudes limit the extent to which long-term shareholders can profit from opportunistic repurchases.Finally, one easily-overlooked value calculation specific to Berkshire: As we’ve discussed, insurance “float” of the right sort is of great value to us. As it happens, repurchases automatically increase the amount of “float” per share. That figure has increased during the past two years by 25% – going from $79,387 per “A” share to $99,497, a meaningful gain that, as noted, owes some thanks to repurchases.A Wonderful Man and a Wonderful BusinessLast year, Paul Andrews died. Paul was the founder and CEO of TTI, a Fort Worth-based subsidiary of Berkshire. Throughout his life – in both his business and his personal pursuits – Paul quietly displayed all the qualities that Charlie and I admire. His story should be told.In 1971, Paul was working as a purchasing agent for General Dynamics when the roof fell in. After losing a huge defense contract, the company fired thousands of employees, including Paul.With his first child due soon, Paul decided to bet on himself, using $500 of his savings to found Tex-Tronics (later renamed TTI). The company set itself up to distribute small electronic components, and first-year sales totaled $112,000. Today, TTI markets more than one million different items with annual volume of $7.7 billion.But back to 2006: Paul, at 63, then found himself happy with his family, his job, and his associates. But he had one nagging worry, heightened because he had recently witnessed a friend’s early death and the disastrous results that followed for that man’s family and business. What, Paul asked himself in 2006, would happen to the many people depending on him if he should unexpectedly die?For a year, Paul wrestled with his options. Sell to a competitor? From a strictly economic viewpoint, that course made the most sense. After all, competitors could envision lucrative “synergies” – savings that would be achieved as the acquiror slashed duplicated functions at TTI.But . . . Such a purchaser would most certainly also retain its CFO, its legal counsel, its HR unit. Their TTI counterparts would therefore be sent packing. And ugh! If a new distribution center were to be needed, the acquirer’s home city would certainly be favored over Fort Worth.Whatever the financial benefits, Paul quickly concluded that selling to a competitor was not for him. He next considered seeking a financial buyer, a species once labeled – aptly so – a leveraged buyout firm. Paul knew, however, that such a purchaser would be focused on an “exit strategy.” And who could know what that would be? Brooding over it all, Paul found himself having no interest in handing his 35-year-old creation over to a reseller.When Paul met me, he explained why he had eliminated these two alternatives as buyers. He then summed up his dilemma by saying – in far more tactful phrasing than this – “After a year of pondering the alternatives, I want to sell to Berkshire because you are the only guy left.” So, I made an offer and Paul said “Yes.” One meeting; one lunch; one deal.To say we both lived happily ever after is an understatement. When Berkshire purchased TTI, the company employed 2,387. Now the number is 8,043. A large percentage of that growth took place in Fort Worth and environs. Earnings have increased 673%.Annually, I would call Paul and tell him his salary should be substantially increased. Annually, he would tell me, “We can talk about that next year, Warren; I’m too busy now.”When Greg Abel and I attended Paul’s memorial service, we met children, grandchildren, long-time associates (including TTI’s first employee) and John Roach, the former CEO of a Fort Worth company Berkshire had purchased in 2000. John had steered his friend Paul to Omaha, instinctively knowing we would be a match.At the service, Greg and I heard about the multitudes of people and organizations that Paul had silently supported. The breadth of his generosity was extraordinary – geared always to improving the lives of others, particularly those in Fort Worth.In all ways, Paul was a class act.* * * * * * * * * * * *Good luck – occasionally extraordinary luck – has played its part at Berkshire. If Paul and I had not enjoyed a mutual friend – John Roach – TTI would not have found its home with us. But that ample serving of luck was only the beginning. TTI was soon to lead Berkshire to its most important acquisition.Every fall, Berkshire directors gather for a presentation by a few of our executives. We sometimes choose the site based upon the location of a recent acquisition, by that means allowing directors to meet the new subsidiary’s CEO and learn more about the acquiree’s activities.In the fall of 2009, we consequently selected Fort Worth so that we could visit TTI. At that time, BNSF, which also had Fort Worth as its hometown, was the third-largest holding among our marketable equities. Despite that large stake, I had never visited the railroad’s headquarters.Deb Bosanek, my assistant, scheduled our board’s opening dinner for October 22. Meanwhile, I arranged to arrive earlier that day to meet with Matt Rose, CEO of BNSF, whose accomplishments I had long admired. When I made the date, I had no idea that our get-together would coincide with BNSF’s third-quarter earnings report, which was released late on the 22nd.The market reacted badly to the railroad’s results. The Great Recession was in full force in the third quarter, and BNSF’s earnings reflected that slump. The economic outlook was also bleak, and Wall Street wasn’t feeling friendly to railroads – or much else.On the following day, I again got together with Matt and suggested that Berkshire would offer the railroad a better long-term home than it could expect as a public company. I also told him the maximum price that Berkshire would pay.Matt relayed the offer to his directors and advisors. Eleven busy days later, Berkshire and BNSF announced a firm deal. And here I’ll venture a rare prediction: BNSF will be a key asset for Berkshire and our country a century from now.The BNSF acquisition would never have happened if Paul Andrews hadn’t sized up Berkshire as the right home for TTI.ThanksI taught my first investing class 70 years ago. Since then, I have enjoyed working almost every year with students of all ages, finally “retiring” from that pursuit in 2018.Along the way, my toughest audience was my grandson’s fifth-grade class. The 11-year-olds were squirming in their seats and giving me blank stares until I mentioned Coca-Cola and its famous secret formula. Instantly, every hand went up, and I learned that “secrets” are catnip to kids.Teaching, like writing, has helped me develop and clarify my own thoughts. Charlie calls this phenomenon the orangutan effect: If you sit down with an orangutan and carefully explain to it one of your cherished ideas, you may leave behind a puzzled primate, but will yourself exit thinking more clearly.Talking to university students is far superior. I have urged that they seek employment in (1) the field and (2) with the kind of people they would select, if they had no need for money. Economic realities, I acknowledge, may interfere with that kind of search. Even so, I urge the students never to give up the quest, for when they find that sort of job, they will no longer be “working.”Charlie and I, ourselves, followed that liberating course after a few early stumbles. We both started as part- timers at my grandfather’s grocery store, Charlie in 1940 and I in 1942. We were each assigned boring tasks and paid little, definitely not what we had in mind. Charlie later took up law, and I tried selling securities. Job satisfaction continued to elude us.Finally, at Berkshire, we found what we love to do. With very few exceptions, we have now “worked” for many decades with people whom we like and trust. It’s a joy in life to join with managers such as Paul Andrews or the Berkshire families I told you about last year. In our home office, we employ decent and talented people – no jerks. Turnover averages, perhaps, one person per year.I would like, however, to emphasize a further item that turns our jobs into fun and satisfaction workingfor you. There is nothing more rewarding to Charlie and me than enjoying the trust of individual long-term shareholders who, for many decades, have joined us with the expectation that we would be a reliable custodian of their funds.Obviously, we can’t select our owners, as we could do if our form of operation were a partnership. Anyone can buy shares of Berkshire today with the intention of soon reselling them. For sure, we get a few of that type of shareholder, just as we get index funds that own huge amounts of Berkshire simply because they are required to do so.To a truly unusual degree, however, Berkshire has as owners a very large corps of individuals and families that have elected to join us with an intent approaching “til death do us part.” Often, they have trusted us with a large – some might say excessive – portion of their savings.Berkshire, these shareholders would sometimes acknowledge, might be far from the best selection they could have made. But they would add that Berkshire would rank high among those with which they would be most comfortable. And people who are comfortable with their investments will, on average, achieve better results than those who are motivated by ever-changing headlines, chatter and promises.Long-term individual owners are both the “partners” Charlie and I have always sought and the ones we constantly have in mind as we make decisions at Berkshire. To them we say, “It feels good to ‘work’ for you, and you have our thanks for your trust.”The Annual MeetingClear your calendar! Berkshire will have its annual gathering of capitalists in Omaha on Friday, April 29th through Sunday, May 1st. The details regarding the weekend are laid out on pages A-1 and A-2. Omaha eagerly awaits you, as do I.I will end this letter with a sales pitch. “Cousin” Jimmy Buffett has designed a pontoon “party” boat that is now being manufactured by Forest River, a Berkshire subsidiary. The boat will be introduced on April 29 at our Berkshire Bazaar of Bargains. And, for two days only, shareholders will be able to purchase Jimmy’s masterpiece at a 10% discount. Your bargain-hunting chairman will be buying a boat for his family’s use. Join me.February 26, 2022Warren E.

U.S. same-store sales is expected to increase 6.1%, ahead of guidance of 5%, for the holiday shopping quarter, according to Bloomberg.\"We believe WMT's core business remained strong in F4Q following a strong F3Q (US comps were +9.2%, with transactions +5.7%), and given strong inventory positioning (supported by more favorable port access, long-term container shipping agreements and chartered vessel capacity) that likely supported share gains vs. smaller competitors this holiday.\" said BofA Securities in a research note on Feb. 10.Other big-name companies to report earnings through Friday include ViacomCBS (VIAC), Airbnb (ABNB), Cisco Systems (CSCO), and Roku (ROKU).On Capitol Hill, the fate of Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell and a lineup of central bank nominees including Fed governor and vice chair pick Lael Brainard will be in focus as the Senate Banking Committee readies to hold a series of confirmation votes this week.Economic calendarMonday: No notable reports scheduled for releaseTuesday: Producer Price Index (PPI) final demand, month-over-month, January (0.5% expected, 0.2% in December, upwardly revised to 0.3%); PPI excluding food and energy, month-over-month, January (0.4% expected, 0.5% in December); PPI excluding food, energy, and trade, month-over-month, January (0.4% expected, 0.4% in December, downwardly revised to 0.3%); PPI year-over-year, January (9.0% expected, 9.7% in December); PPI, year-over-year, January (7.8% expected, 8.3% in December); PPI excluding food and energy, year-over-year, January (6.3% expected, 6.9% in December); PPI excluding food, energy, and trade, year-over-year, January (6.3% expected, 6.9% in December); Empire Manufacturing, February (11.0 expected, -0.7 during prior month); Net Long-Term TIC Outflows, December ($137.4 billion during prior month); Total Net TIC Outflows, December ($223.9 billion during prior month)Wednesday: MBA Mortgage Applications, week ended Feb. 11 (-8.1% during prior week); Retail Sales Advance, month-over-month, January (2.0% expected, -1.9% in December); Retail Sales excluding autos, month-over-month, January (0.8% expected, -2.3% in December); Retail Sales excluding autos and gas, month-over-month, January (1.0% expected, -2.5% in December); Import Price Index, month-over-month, January (1.3% expected, -0.2% in December); Import Price Index excluding petroleum, month-over-month, January (0.4% expected, 0.3% in December); Import Price Endex, year-over-year, January (9.8% expected, 10.4% in December); Export Price Index, month-over-month, January (1.3% expected, -1.8% in December); Export Price Index, year-over-year, January (14.7% in December); Industrial Production, month-over-month, January (0.4% expected, -0.1% in December); Capacity Utilization, January (76.8% expected, 76.5% in December); Manufacturing (SIC) Production, January (0.3% expected, -0.3% in December); Business Inventories, December (2.1% expected,1.3% in November); NAHB Housing Market Index, February (83 expected, 83 in January); FOMC Meeting Minutes, January 26Thursday: Building permits, January (1.750 million expected, 1.873 million in December, upwardly revised to 1.885 million); Building permits, month-over-month, January (-7.2% expected, 9.1% in December, upwardly revised to 9.8%); Housing starts, January (1.700 million expected, 1.702 million in December); Housing starts, month-over-month, January (-0.1% expected, 1.4% in December); Initial jobless claims, week ended Feb. 12 (220,000 expected, 223,000 during prior week); Continuing claims, week ended Feb. 5 (1.621 million during prior week); Philadelphia Fed Business Outlook Index, February (20.0 expected, 23.2 in January)Friday: Existing Home Sales, January (6.10 million expected, 6.18 million in December); Existing Home Sales, month-over-month, January (-1.3% expected, -4.6% in December); Leading Index, January (0.2% expected, 0.8% in December)Earnings calendarMondayBefore market open: TreeHouse Foods (THS), Weber Inc.

Buckle up for this roller coaster, the commentators tell us. Keep your hands, arms and assets inside the vehicle at all times.</p><p>The theme-park thrill ride is our most tired metaphor for market volatility. When the VIX  spiked this year, roller coasters showed up everywhere on financial media in both words and images: on the cover of The Economist, on all the major financial networks and newspapers and, too often for my taste, on MarketWatch.</p><p>The language and imagery we use to talk about markets matters. In <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of my first columns after becoming editor of this site in 2014, I said we were banning photos of traders on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange because these &#34;human emoji&#34; no longer reflected the modern reality of a market divorced from the physical space of Wall Street.</p><p>I shouldn&#39;t have stopped there. So in this, my final column for MarketWatch, I think it&#39;s time to retire the roller coaster as an illustration of volatility, because the metaphor is a mediocre visual joke that&#39;s unfair to both amusement parks and markets.</p><p>We lean on the rides to convey turbulence, because the hills, twists and inversions seem like stock charts drawn in real life, and the rides, like markets, induce anxiety, adrenaline, and enough G forces to empty your pockets or make you lose your lunch. So what&#39;s wrong with these images? To explore this question, I reached out to two uniquely qualified experts on the subject: 1. A professor of business and psychology who has studied how market metaphors impact the decisions investors make. And 2. A roller-coaster designer.</p><p>But first, it&#39;s important to consider how metaphors influence our thoughts and behaviors. In &#34;Metaphors We Live By,&#34; a seminal work by the philosophers George Lakoff and Mark Johnson, they make the case that &#34;the way we think, what we experience, and what we do every day is very much a matter of metaphor.&#34; What does this have to do with roller coasters? Well, as Lakoff and Johnson say, &#34;the major metaphor in our culture is HAPPY IS UP.&#34;</p><p>When we feel good, we say we are up, we strive to climb the corporate ladder, we want to get a raise. Happy is definitely up on a market chart, unless you&#39;re a short seller. Up is more. Up is richer. Up is one step closer to joining the Great Resignation and jetting off to the Almafi coast. But the most happy moments on a roller coaster, as someone who loves roller coasters, are not the ups, but the most horrific, violent stretches of a market chart: the steep drops and wild turns.</p><p>&#34;The ups and downs in the emotions don&#39;t correlate with the ups and downs in distance above the floor,&#34; said Brendan Walker, a London-based &#34;thrill engineer&#34; with two decades of roller-coaster design experience. &#34;The points of sudden change are the most exciting moments, made to be scary as hell or fun and exhilarating.&#34;</p><p>The metaphor does work in one sense: Inching up the lift hill is a moment of building anticipation and nerves, Walker said. Like investors wondering if they should bail out before the bottom falls out, nervous riders whisper to themselves over and over again as the train lurches upward: &#34;Is this the top yet?&#34; Most of life is more like waiting in line for the ride than actually riding it, of course.</p><p>But remember, roller coasters, unlike volatile markets, are a form of entertainment, with each of the 90-120 seconds choreographed to neurotransmit a cocktail of maximal pleasure and excitement. &#34;They seem to be very risky, but this is one of the most risk-averse industries around,&#34; said Walker, whose current venture, Studio Go Go, specializes in enhancing older rides with the addition of virtual reality. &#34;A new ride costs $25 million and needs to appeal to 95% of visitors.&#34; They are designed to be a safe way to experience the feeling of risk, said Walker. &#34;This is not skydiving or skiing black runs off-piste.&#34;</p><p>Theme-park rides sometimes end badly -- I once watched helplessly as my nephew was thrown from a carnival ride, thankfully sustaining only &#34;minor injuries&#34; -- but, for the most part, we can be fairly certain that we end up right back where we started, unscathed, maybe smiling, maybe muttering &#34;never again,&#34; but no poorer for the journey.</p><p>Markets can be far more hazardous -- and so can market metaphors. Roller-coaster images may provide false comfort to investors, said Michael Morris, a business professor and psychologist at Columbia University. &#34;It&#39;s a bit like the bubble metaphor, which suggests that once it has popped it is a safe time to invest, the danger is over.&#34;</p><p>In a 2007 paper, &#34;Metaphors and the Market,&#34; Morris and his co-authors studied the impact a range of metaphors used by financial media had on investor decision making, focusing on two types: &#34;agent&#34; metaphors, which suggest the market is an animal spirit that climbs, claws, charges, or flies vs. that &#34;object&#34; metaphors, passive victims of gravity, as in &#34;the  Dow fell off a cliff.&#34; Presumably dead cats bounce into and out of the latter category.</p><p>&#34;Humans detect the features of things that are self-propelled and the things that defy gravity and we treat them very differently,&#34; Morris told me. In experiments they found that agent metaphors made investors more confident that the current trends were likely to continue. Media commentary causes investors to take uptrends as meaningful signals and downtrends as something that can be ignored, the paper argues.</p><p>Even the market chart itself can mislead investors this way. The lines on a chart suggest continued trajectories, Morris said. Investors fared better after being shown tables of data as opposed to a chart, he said. Allusions to roller coasters might have a similar effect, his research found, since they have &#34;unsteady but regular trajectories. And they may imply that the past regularity portends future regularity.&#34;</p><p>Behavioral economist Richard Thaler has joked that investors would be better off watching ESPN than a business network, and maybe he has a point. Financial journalists have a responsibility to think critically about the language and imagery used to explain the market. We should be up front about how little we know, and we should banish all the bears and B.S.

In <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of my first columns after becoming editor of this site in 2014, I said we were banning photos of traders on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange because these &#34;human emoji&#34; no longer reflected the modern reality of a market divorced from the physical space of Wall Street.</p><p>I shouldn&#39;t have stopped there.

So what&#39;s wrong with these images? To explore this question, I reached out to two uniquely qualified experts on the subject: 1. A professor of business and psychology who has studied how market metaphors impact the decisions investors make. And 2. A roller-coaster designer.</p><p>But first, it&#39;s important to consider how metaphors influence our thoughts and behaviors. In &#34;Metaphors We Live By,&#34; a seminal work by the philosophers George Lakoff and Mark Johnson, they make the case that &#34;the way we think, what we experience, and what we do every day is very much a matter of metaphor.&#34; What does this have to do with roller coasters? Well, as Lakoff and Johnson say, &#34;the major metaphor in our culture is HAPPY IS UP.&#34;</p><p>When we feel good, we say we are up, we strive to climb the corporate ladder, we want to get a raise. Happy is definitely up on a market chart, unless you&#39;re a short seller. Up is more. Up is richer. Up is one step closer to joining the Great Resignation and jetting off to the Almafi coast. But the most happy moments on a roller coaster, as someone who loves roller coasters, are not the ups, but the most horrific, violent stretches of a market chart: the steep drops and wild turns.</p><p>&#34;The ups and downs in the emotions don&#39;t correlate with the ups and downs in distance above the floor,&#34; said Brendan Walker, a London-based &#34;thrill engineer&#34; with two decades of roller-coaster design experience. &#34;The points of sudden change are the most exciting moments, made to be scary as hell or fun and exhilarating.&#34;</p><p>The metaphor does work in one sense: Inching up the lift hill is a moment of building anticipation and nerves, Walker said. Like investors wondering if they should bail out before the bottom falls out, nervous riders whisper to themselves over and over again as the train lurches upward: &#34;Is this the top yet?&#34; Most of life is more like waiting in line for the ride than actually riding it, of course.</p><p>But remember, roller coasters, unlike volatile markets, are a form of entertainment, with each of the 90-120 seconds choreographed to neurotransmit a cocktail of maximal pleasure and excitement. &#34;They seem to be very risky, but this is one of the most risk-averse industries around,&#34; said Walker, whose current venture, Studio Go Go, specializes in enhancing older rides with the addition of virtual reality. &#34;A new ride costs $25 million and needs to appeal to 95% of visitors.&#34; They are designed to be a safe way to experience the feeling of risk, said Walker. &#34;This is not skydiving or skiing black runs off-piste.&#34;</p><p>Theme-park rides sometimes end badly -- I once watched helplessly as my nephew was thrown from a carnival ride, thankfully sustaining only &#34;minor injuries&#34; -- but, for the most part, we can be fairly certain that we end up right back where we started, unscathed, maybe smiling, maybe muttering &#34;never again,&#34; but no poorer for the journey.</p><p>Markets can be far more hazardous -- and so can market metaphors. Roller-coaster images may provide false comfort to investors, said Michael Morris, a business professor and psychologist at Columbia University. &#34;It&#39;s a bit like the bubble metaphor, which suggests that once it has popped it is a safe time to invest, the danger is over.&#34;</p><p>In a 2007 paper, &#34;Metaphors and the Market,&#34; Morris and his co-authors studied the impact a range of metaphors used by financial media had on investor decision making, focusing on two types: &#34;agent&#34; metaphors, which suggest the market is an animal spirit that climbs, claws, charges, or flies vs. that &#34;object&#34; metaphors, passive victims of gravity, as in &#34;the  Dow fell off a cliff.&#34; Presumably dead cats bounce into and out of the latter category.</p><p>&#34;Humans detect the features of things that are self-propelled and the things that defy gravity and we treat them very differently,&#34; Morris told me. In experiments they found that agent metaphors made investors more confident that the current trends were likely to continue. Media commentary causes investors to take uptrends as meaningful signals and downtrends as something that can be ignored, the paper argues.</p><p>Even the market chart itself can mislead investors this way. The lines on a chart suggest continued trajectories, Morris said. Investors fared better after being shown tables of data as opposed to a chart, he said. Allusions to roller coasters might have a similar effect, his research found, since they have &#34;unsteady but regular trajectories. And they may imply that the past regularity portends future regularity.&#34;</p><p>Behavioral economist Richard Thaler has joked that investors would be better off watching ESPN than a business network, and maybe he has a point.

A 1994 agreement underpinning Ukrainian security failed to prevent Russian aggression against its neighbour.Although Moscow and Kyiv both said on Wednesday that they had made progress on the terms of a deal, Ukrainian officials remain sceptical Russian President Vladimir Putin is fully committed to peace and worry that Moscow could be buying time to regroup its forces and resume its offensive.Mykhailo Podolyak, a senior adviser to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, told the Financial Times that any deal would involve “the troops of the Russian Federation in any case leaving the territory of Ukraine” captured since the invasion began on February 24 — namely southern regions along the Azov and Black Seas, as well as territory to the east and north of Kyiv.Ukraine would maintain its armed forces but would be obliged to stay outside military alliances such as Nato and refrain from hosting foreign military bases on its territory.Putin’s press secretary Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Wednesday that neutrality for Ukraine based on the status of Austria or Sweden was a possibility.“This option is really being discussed now, and is one that can be considered neutral,” said Peskov.Sergei Lavrov, Russia’s foreign minister, said that “absolutely specific wordings” were “close to being agreed” in the negotiations.Despite the progress in peace talks, Ukrainian cities came under heavy shelling for a third consecutive night while Kyiv said it was launching a counter-offensive against Russian invaders.In a virtual address to members of Congress on Wednesday, Zelensky pleaded for the US to enforce a no-fly zone or provide fighter jets or other means to fend off Russia’s attack on his country, and impose harsher economic sanctions on Moscow.In a dramatic appeal, Zelensky said Ukraine needed America’s support after Russia had launched a “brutal offensive against our values”.
