BRKBD trade ideas
Berkshire HathawayAs you can see from the monthly cart, Berkshires growth is steady and consistent, this is probably because they are owned by in my opinion 1 of the worlds best ever investors... Warren Buffett.... if you don't know who he is then you clearly should not be investing.
We are long on this position with no real TP as this is a long term investment, but obviously we have a SL as trading anything without a SL is just stupid.
Why I'm Not Worrying About Warren Buffett's Record Stash of CashThe logic is deceptively simple: Buffett piles up cash when the market is too expensive and about to crash. That's a poor look at the data.

Berkshire Hathaway A [Long term analysis]Good 'ol Berkshire Hathaway Class A shares.
Looks like BRK.A is at a potential reversal zone, and this could be a good chance to either a) Short until desired targets or b) Wait for support and signs of reversal at the 23.6%, 38.2% or 50%. If we do indeed reverse at this zone, this will be our wave 4 correction yielding an extended wave 5 afterward.
According to Elliot Wave theory if a third wave fails to make it past 1.618x of the initial wave 1, you can expect an extended wave 5 which will have targets of 1.0x, 1.618x or 2.618x of wave 1 to 3 projected from the wave 4 bottom. This count is invalidated if we close above $330,000 on the M1 interval.
The R:R on this position would be about 1:3.5
A brief recap of BRK.A drops:

"If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs...
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting...
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim...
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you...
Yours is the Earth and everything that is in it."
Inverse Berkshire Hathaway: Short Buffet?Just something that came up in the KHL chatroom. Looks like an explosive downtrend, if you flip it over, looks even clearer...as a massive uptrend signal.
Let's see how it goes. I'm flat, won't trade it, but definitely interesting to observe.
Cheers,

Berkshire Hathaway As An IndicatorHello friends. It's probably hard to find out what the smart money is doing. I think some iconic companies have more overall predictive power than others. About 3 weeks later after the news was published we can see if there is any impact.
"Because of accounting rule changes, however, the conglomerate recorded a first quarter loss of $1.1 billion, compared to net income of $4 billion in last year's first quarter"
