Wow, I knew he was old, but had no idea he wasn't well. Aftermarket movement of BRK.A/BRK.B seems to be muted, so I guess right now investors aren't too worried about the future of Berkshire.

Most of the trades in that stock have been routed through dark pools (they don't hit lit exchanges), so even if there are (huge) trades you wouldn't necessarily see the price move.

So you're saying there is an arbitrage opportunity and you can literally make free money? Because that doesen't make much sense..

You might not see all the trades immediately, but they are still reflected in the price with minimal delay.

Dark pool trades are reported to the FINRA TRF within at most 10 seconds and appear on the consolidated market data feed.

Do you have a citation with statistics for this?

I don’t know if it’s right or wrong but regardless, it’s extremely interesting as far as assertions go.

> bboygravity is right.

So you're saying I (or whoever) can can buy shares for less in one of the "dark pools" and sell them on the market and make free money?

For you and me it offers an opportunity to lose money.

They still show up in the market price, even if they are traded off exchange.

afterwards. Order book is hidden before trade.
Re:Charlie Munger has died by zie on Wednesday November 29, 2023 @11:51AM (#38461817)
Obviously, how could they report a trade that hasn't happened yet?

It doesn't matter if the trade happens on or off book, it all gets reported nearly instantly anyway.

No 99-year-old is "well" in absolute terms. A 99-year-old US man has only about a 66% chance of reaching 100: https://www.finder.com/life-insurance/odds-of-dying. A 95-year-old man has about a 16.5% chance of reaching 100, so he'd already done pretty well.

I wonder what killed him aside just being really old. he died at a hospital and not at home, so something must have happened. his last media appearance was on the 17th of nov 2023.
Re:Charlie Munger has died by xanderlewis on Tuesday November 28, 2023 @06:56PM (#38453425)
I doubt it’s anything dramatic. Stubbing your toe on a table leg could probably kill you when you’re 99.
