<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cloudsweeper99, post: 714303, member: 3011&quot;]We are speaking about Buffett, not the company he chairs.&nbsp; You need to check more carefully.&nbsp; The stocks you refer to are owned by Berkshire Hathaway, not by Buffett.&nbsp; Buffett is part owner of BRK and has never sold a share of HIS stock.&nbsp; By your calculation, he has no profit on the shares of BRK that HE owns.&nbsp; I don&#039;t think you&#039;ll find much support for your position no matter how you try to twist it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Edit:&nbsp; Let&#039;s use a concrete example to clarify your thinking.&nbsp; In the June 30, 2009 quarterly report, Berkshire Hathaway reported holding shares of </p><p>Coca Cola (KO) stock with a cost basis of $1,299 million and a market value of $9,054 million.&nbsp; Is it your position that BRK does not have a profit on their investment because it has not been sold????[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
