WarrenWe have some significant advantages in buying businesses over time. We would be the preferred purchaser, I think, for a reasonable number of private companies and public companies as well.

People know that when we make a deal, it will get done, and it will get done as fast as anybody can. into it, won't be subject to any kind of second thoughts or financing difficulties. And we bought, as you know, we bought John's Manville because the other group had financing difficulties. People know they will get to run their businesses as they've run them before if they care about that, and a lot of people do, others don't. We have an ownership structure that is probably more stable than any company our size or anywhere near our size. the country. And that's attractive to people. And we are under no pressure to do anything dumb. You know, if we do things dumb, it's because we do things dumb. But it's not because anybody's making us do it. So those are significant advantages. And the disadvantage, the biggest disadvantage we have is size. I mean, it is harder to double the market value of a $100 billion company than a $1 billion dollar company using our, what we have in our arsenal. And that is, I hope it isn't going to go away. I mean, I hope we don't become a billion dollar company and enjoy all the benefits of those. And I hope, in fact, we have the agony of becoming, you know, a much larger company.

But people will do stupid things in the future. There's no question. I mean, I will guarantee you sometime in the next 20 years. that people will do some exceptionally stupid things in equity markets. And then the question is, you know, are we in a position to do something about that when that happens? But we do, we continue to prefer to buy businesses, though. That's what we really enjoy.
