American Express's closed-loop network is indeed a unique asset, but its reliance on high-spending customers also makes it vulnerable to economic downturns, which could impact Berkshire's portfolio.
American Express's closed-loop network is notable, but its reliance on consumer spending, particularly among affluent demographics, may expose Berkshire Hathaway to risks associated with economic downturns or shifts in consumer behavior, potentially impacting the stock's stability.
