If I'm put in charge of Berkshire Hathaway, I will attempt to
purchase as many Apple stocks as possible. I will not stop
until I acquire at least 50.1% of Apple.
Or is that a very bad financial decision?![]()
Well, without assessing whether it would be a bad financial decision...
Berkshire Hathaway only reports around $150 billion worth of equity ownership on its 13F. And right now 50% of Apple would be worth around $350 billion, more than the total shareholder equity (roughly its assets minus its liabilities) that Berkshire Hathaway reported as of this past September. So I think acquiring 50% of Apple would be a bit of a stretch for it.
