Berkshire Hathaway, Inc. (BRK-B)

Buys simple things that we understand

Warren Buffett who has been reluctant to split his companies stock will do just that In early 2010.Buffetts class "B" shares will split 50 for one. Look for Standard & Poors to add this company to the S&P 500 Index soon thereafter. Index funds that track the S&P 500 will Immediately begin adding this stock to their portfolios. This should give the newly split shares some POP as this unfolds. Buffet bet big on the U.S economy over the long term by purchasing Burlington Northern Railroad at a 31% premium to the stock price at the time. One of the primary reasons for the split Is to better allow the shareholders of (BNI) to take stock for the deal Instead of cash. This gives Investors like you and me the chance to own stock In one of the premiere companies of a generation,and maybe even make some extra cash along the way. I urge all fools to take advantage of this probable lucrative situation. I will be buying some of the class B shares BEFORE the split,and then add to my positions over time. Accumulating some of these shares before the split could be the way to go If you can. If you wait until after the split,I am confident you will still be richly rewarded over the long haul.... TS

Berkshire and Buffett invest for the future and in the businesses that will be critical to the growth of the economy. As a young investor, this is not only a solid stock but probably the best stock to teach you about investing and the market.

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.

power bundle

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.

Because!

a good stock

post split pop

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.
