The Berkshire Hathaway website currently features “A Message from Warren E. Buffett” on its homepage and a full message page that recommends GEICO and Borsheim’s, using the phrase “about 40% of all auto drivers” in relation to GEICO savings.
The message appears at BerkshireHathaway.com and links to a full text page titled “A Message From Warren E. Buffett” where Buffett writes that he doesn’t make stock recommendations but urges readers to “call on the services of two subsidiaries of Berkshire: GEICO and Borsheim’s.”
The message page itself names GEICO and Borsheim’s and gives contact details for both, including a GEICO phone line and Borsheim’s ordering numbers, and explains Berkshire’s view that its one-store jewelry operation runs at lower cost than competitors.
Buffett also offers a concrete estimate about cost savings. On the message page he writes, “I estimate that about 40% of all auto drivers in the country can save money by insuring with GEICO.”
The site also lists related corporate material — annual reports, shareholder letters and a web page warning about fraudulent claims regarding endorsements — making the message part of Berkshire’s public communications on the company’s official site.
This article links to earlier market commentary pieces for context: investors tracking Buffett’s views may find Ackman’s Pershing Square exits Alphabet stake, buys Netflix instead and Jim Cramer says comparing Magnificent Seven stocks is a costly mistake relevant for readers following active portfolio moves and market strategy.
Why it matters: the message is a consumer-facing recommendation from Berkshire’s website rather than a SEC filing or a shareholder letter, and it directs readers to company subsidiaries for potential savings rather than offering investment guidance.
