    The market is SO WRONG at this point

    No. Like I said, I'm not a trend follower, but I think it means If you're following an uptrend, the current bar has to break below the prior TWO bars before getting out of your position.

    The market is SO WRONG at this point

    Check out the weekly on the SPY. Broke a weekly low for the first time this year, as you said. I'm more of a scalper not a trend trader, but I've heard trend traders say follow the trend until you see a 3-bar break. So far, no 3-bar break.

    Who can explain BRK.A ripping to the upside this quarter?

    Ahh, that is the question for investors! Haha. Since BRKA is valued at $750B and their stock holdings are $300B and their cash is I think $150B, that pretty much means that investors are valuing BRKA's private companies (those companies that don't trade publicly) at around $300B...

    Who can explain BRK.A ripping to the upside this quarter?

    I think newwurldmn kind of nailed it here. Railroads and housing sales are doing really well, and BRK owns the largest ones in the field. Car dealerships too. Also on the list (at the link) is other real estate companies, electric companies (electricity prices are skyrocketing), other oil...
