Stig has invited legend investor Chris Bloomstran from Semper Augustus to teach us how to value Berkshire Hathaway on today's show. Semper Augustus has an outstanding track record with a CAGR of 11.5% since his fund's inception on 2/28/1999, compared to 6.9% for the S&P500.
There is no one in the space we respect as much as Chris Bloomstran when valuing the intrinsic value of Berkshire Hathaway.

00:00 - Intro
10:21 - The intrinsic value of Berkshire Hathaway and what the P/B of Berkshire Hathaway tells us & what it doesn’t tell us.
