Market Quiz

What Omaha-based stock has the best long-term performance?
Yep, it’s Berkshire Hathaway (BRK-A), which is a stock everyone has heard of. But do you know about Valmont Industries (VMI)? The company is also based in Omaha, and while it’s not the amazing success that’s Berkshire, Valmont’s performance is still quite impressive.
The company reports after the bell today and the shares have, for the first time, ever crack $100 a share. Three years ago, you could have picked up VMI for just $22 a share. If you were around in 1970, you could have got it for just 25 cents a share.
