What's in a Berkshire Hathaway Share, Anyway?
Analytical Chemist submits:Warren Buffett is an avid customer of NetJets, a Berkshire Hathway subsidiary (BRK.A). We can only speculate whether he is as avid a customer of Fruit of the Loom. We are, however, aware that Warren Buffett is a tremendously successful investor. He turned a purchase of then-textile manufacturer Berkshire Hathaway in 1964 into what is today a large conglomerate; owning businesses from insurance companies to a railroad. Berkshire is currently the 8th most valuable company in the United States (nestled just behind Google (GOOG) and ahead of Wal-Mart (WMT)).
Berkshire is no longer a textile manufacturer, it completely exited that business in 1985. Starting in 1967 with the purchase of National Indemnity, Berkshire began a series of acquisitions. Many have been insurance companies, and many people think of Berkshire primarily as an insurer. But Warren Buffett has shown a wide and varying array of corporate interests, to the point that

4 Reasons Investors Are Buying Stocks Now

4 Reasons Investors Are Buying Stocks Now
Investment Directions submits:This year investors' interest in stocks is charged up. The question being debated is "Why?"
Here are four drivers of investors' stock buying.
1. A desire to resume normal stock buying
Individuals, as a whole, build assets over their working lives, and make withdrawals during retirement.
Because accumulation inflows are larger than distribution outflows, investors buy more than they sell. Historically, stocks represent a large portion of that buying. However, bond buying and even stock selling was the norm from 2008 through 2010.
The best way to view the change in investors' actions is to examine mutual fund flows. Here is the latest picture:
Over the past seven weeks, $49 billion went into long-term funds, of which $23 billion (47%) went into U.S. stock funds and $10 billion (20%) went into international stock funds, for a total of $33 billion (67%).
This 67% is within a "normal"

Volatility Hasn't Broken the Stock Market Bulls

Volatility Hasn't Broken the Stock Market Bulls
The Simple Accountant submits:We saw an interesting week in the financial markets last week, as well as in the economic and political news. If we had to characterize it all in one word, the best fit might be: volatility. With open warfare breaking out in Libya, and overshadowing the more portentous events in Bahrain and Yemen, volatility may be with us a while longer. Let's take a quick look at the week just ended, before turning our sights to the road ahead.
Week in Review
Stocks: On paper, all the major US indexes posted fractional gains for the week, but our volatility theme was present: three of the five trading days saw intraday spreads greater than 1%, two of them closing more than 1% away from their open. Friday saw a late afternoon rally that preserved the week's modest gain.

All the indexes remain above their now

How Is The Stock Market Similar To A Random Walk
http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/AdvanceStock/~3/CsXRZppMdoM/
How Is The Stock Market Similar To A Random Walk
What does it mean for stock market prices to be like a random walk? What is a random walk? Financial economists have come up with an interesting scenario to introduce the random walk to laymen. Imagine if you will, they say, a drunk who has been left at a lamp post. The drunk wants to get home, but every step he takes is in a random direction. What emerges is a very erratic trail, where the position of the drunk over time starts drifting away from lamp post but occasionally coming back to where he started.
The price of a security such as a high yield mutual fund or even a money market deposit account moves up and down over time as evidenced by a time-series graph. Even tracking it minute-by-minute (should one be able to access such data) the up and down motion is evident although at smaller scales than over days or weeks. Based on this observation, it has been proposed by financial economists and statisticians that this fluctuating movement that goes up and down is akin to a random walk. Whereas the drunkard walked in two dimensions, the price of a stock executes a one dimensional random walk.
Being able to map the behavior of a stock price to a mathematical theory means that the stock price should have certain statistical properties. For example, the price of a stock, bond, or mutual fund (and its yield we suppose) should move around a mean value. Moreover, the deviation away from this mean on a daily basis should never be too positive or too negative, but instead fits into a normal distribution. Interestingly many securities show these statistical behaviors which gives credence to the theory.
The random walk idea underlies an important equation in mathematical finance known as the Black-Scholes equation. It was even the basis for the Nobel Prize in economics for two researchers Scholes and Merton. Those who are interested may find the mathematics a bit daunting as it ventures into stochastic calculus and partial differential equations.
Despite the success of the random walk theory, it turns out that there are some observations that do not match the idea of the random walk. For example, many companies have increasing or decreasing stock prices over the long time period as they become successful or fail at their business. Companies also experience the negative effects of broad decline during recessionary times. Clearly the random walk theory is not applicable for these times.
The normal person who is more worried about a 401K or IRA account that contains high yield mutual funds, GNMA investments and bonds may find the discussion very theoretical. Indeed, it is likely that these mathematical concepts are only useful for a day-trader who must contend with making profits from swings in stock prices on the short term.
