When they split 50:1 at the beginning id 2010 more people will be able to afford shares and will be eager to be part of Warren Buffet's Berkshire Hathaway.

Short term the unprecedented split will boost and probably get this put on an index, which will give a small institutional uptick. Over time, fundamentals and discipline will keep this stock at a premium.

With these shares soon to be chopped down to a more common investor friendly size by a 50:1 stock split, look for shares to take a nice jump once this occurs. I believe there are many common investors who would love to own some of this stock and with the lower price I think you'll see these individuals jump in pushing the stock higher.

Mr. Buffett has been active making some big moves in a down economy. He saw opportunity and pounced on it. His shareholders will be richly rewarded by sticking with him for the next five years. I'm not sure I'd stay with the stock once he retires though.

Buy and hold, fundamentals.

New class of buyers will exceed sellers post split.

Fantastic. They are preparing a 50-1 reverse split and this will cause all the smaller investors to buy in and elevate the stock price.

Just bought 2 shares anticipating the split!

Good for TMF. Good for me

Long-term, this company will win. Even when Buffett and Munger finally step down, Berkshire has the best management team in the business. And BNSF is just another pillar to keep the company strong for the forseeable future.

In tis depressed market exists a lot of opportunities and Buffet know how to get them.

Strong growth prospects in a recovering economy, pulled along by intelligent investment moves.

It's Buffet baby!

Long term play... I like the split, and the railroad aquisition (as well as all the other marvelous companies owned by this juggernaut).

Warren Buffett and his managers are master allocators of capital, and this will translate into solid returns for years to come (with or without Mr. Buffett). I think normalized, pass-through earnings of Berkshire will be around $373 per B share over the next 12 months and can most likely grow at around 12.5% per year for the next few years. That should provide good returns from a very high quality company.

I think the market will like the win-win acquisition of BNI by BRK -- not to mention the 50-1 split which will let many more homegamers into the stock. Look for the BRK team to push "precision railroading" into the BNI system. CNI ought to go down on the fundies (BNI will become a better competitor) but I bet it will take time for this to penetrate Jar-jar market's noggin. CNI seems to be getting a nice bounce on the news today though: glad I've got some!
