Berkshire Hathaway Inc (BRK.A)

[fung_derf]

I owned 11 shares of the B shares shortly after they came out, but sold long ago. Guess they've gone through a big stock split since. Thought I recalled paying $1000 a share??
I got rid of them years ago over concern what would happen if Warren were to pass away. I know there's a plan in place, but can't help thinking the share price will suffer.
I don't think it's a great idea for your kids unless it's in an IRA you're setting up for them.
FWIW, BRK has become much like American Funds mutual funds. Started off as pure value investments, but eventually turned into growth.
I do own large positions though in many of the stocks inside of BRK.
