Ann: Flames Well Completion Service Company Appointed, page-19

There are BRK detractors out there , those that belittle the company and it's operations... and those as you say, that criticise the company just based on the performance of the share price.

So it seems people would be happy to own and "praise" a stock that

a) sucks operationally but has an appreciating share price based on hyperbole and no substance .

and

b) disregard and bemoan a company kicking goals all over the park, adding real and tangible shareholder value with operational profits but doesn't have that reflected in its share price.


I can imagine the CEO of company (a) doing a roadshow where the basis of his presentation is the fact the share price is going up, and we won't worry about company operations.

Where as David (b) will have lots to discuss in his presentations in the May roadshow, but will touch on the depressed share price no doubt in his conversations.

In the long run which company will succeed, let alone survive ? I would say it is pretty obvious as quality and substance always comes to the fore in the end... just needs a bit of patience.
