Berkshire Hathaway is poised to join Apple, Aphabet and Microsoft

Does anybody wonder today's headline on WSJ about Berkshire going to be acquired by three giant tech companies?

I found it incredible unbelievable! What is the relationship with railroad company and tech company?!?

I was guessing the three tech companies going to car industry, not the railroad. Any thoughts?

Investment Banking 7 Stories Review

“Andre's strong background makes him a very motivating mentor for candidates. He is intellectual and kind, and he used our time efficiently. His feedback was clear, honest and realistic, which I value a lot. He does not just tell people what they want to hear; he pushes them to succeed. He helped me structure my 7 stories and made the whole process much easier. Without Andre, I would not have gotten my 7 stories right. I will definitely work with him again, and I am looking forward to our next meeting.”

Investment Banking Why [Industry] Review

“Andrew was incredibly knowledgeable, understanding, and genuinely helpful throughout the entire session. He took the time to understand the issues I was having, explained everything clearly, and helped me resolve them. What I really appreciated was that he went above and beyond what the session was originally booked for, offering additional advice and guidance on other areas that I hadn't even considered. He was patient, approachable, and clearly knows what he's talking about. I came away from the session with a much better understanding of everything and some really useful advice moving forward. Overall, a great experience, and I'll definitely be booking another session with him. Highly recommend!”

... are you kidding?

Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway is entering another exclusive group: the $400 billion club.
Berkshire’s Class A shares recently hit at a record $243,580 on Wednesday. If those shares close at roughly $243,300 or higher, it’ll mark the first time in Mr. Buffett‘s five-decade tenure at the firm that Berkshire has ended the day with a market capitalization of $400 billion or more.

Mr. Buffett’s company is poised to join Apple, Alphabet and Microsoft as the only U.S.-listed companies with a current market cap of at least that much. Apple, the largest publicly traded company in the world, is currently valued at about $585 billion.
