Am I the only dumbass that didn't know if you have one share of BRK you get a special price on NFM stuff for a week?
Well, you are the only one I know that didn’t know. It’s sometimes a shockingly good deal.

If you own BRK they send you a notice that you can request shareholder credentials for attending the meeting. You just show them to the people at NFM and they get you the “good” price quote. Also it’s like the only time you can get certain brands (Apple for example) cheaper.

I haven't went through the whole process but online to see the price you register an account and turn on the toggle. I went until the last step of placing my order and nothing popped up different but maybe it's post purchase? I also called in to special order a piece and the guy just looked up my account and said yup you are registered for the special pricing.

Guess it’s time to unload my BRK-A position, huh?

CNS · « **Reply #4555 on:** May 03, 2025, 02:50:30 PM »

This is my fault. I bought a share a couple of days ago so that I could FAFO with the discount stuff.

My bad, guys.

I am not paying attention to this. But was the special price essentially a way to disincentivize selling Berkshire stuff upon the news of his retirement?

Supposedly annual. Assuming it was to capitalize from the Omaha meeting to push product. Got until Tuesday if you want in.

I was driving today and didn't load calls. The boys sniffed out some huge put sellers and loaded short dated calls. They're gonna be 25X at open.

What do you ITK peeps think is going on with UNH? I know Buffet just loaded up, but what do you think the reasoning is? They have been struggling anyway and it appears that less and less are going to be able to afford any coverage whatsoever so I'm curious why the big names are loading up recently.

steve dave · « **Reply #4574 on:** August 15, 2025, 09:18:44 AM »

Because it’s been eating crap. Buffett bought it on the way down and ate crap with it.
