Berkshire Hathaway Class B Shares -
Current Information
January 21, 2010

split and today the shares began trading on the NYSE under the
symbol BRKB. Now it is much easier and affordable to buy

www.GiveAshare.com.
January 15, 2010 - Bershire
Hathaway shareholder set to approve the 50-1 stock split on
Wednesday, the 20th. This same vote is expected to approve
the merger with Burlington Northern railroad and experts suggest
that the split makes it more likely that Berkshire Hathaway will
be included in the S&P 500. See more about
Berkshire Hathaway's stock split.
November 3rd, 2009, the Berkshire Hathaway
Board of Directors approved the acquisition of Burlington
Northern Railroad and a 50 for 1 split of
the Class B stock. The new affordability
resulting from the proposed 50 for 1 split is what prompted
GiveAshare.com to start offering this iconic company.
Currently, the Class B stock
trades at well over $3000 until shareholders
approve the split (which is expected in January
2010).
What we are selling is the post-split stock
which will reflect the 50 for 1 split and can be
delivered after shareholder approval.
An interesting update from
gurufocus.com says that the Berkshire board wants to split
the shares regardless of whether the BNI merger is approved and
that it is virtually a certainty because Warren Buffett wants
the split and he owns over 36% of the company.
Nice
little tidbit: The Berkshire Hathaway stock
certificate has the printed signature of
legendary investor and CEO Warren Buffett.
Other Interesting Items Anyone who visits the
Berkshire
Hathaway website can see that the company is
different. Warren Buffett is known
for annual letters
to shareholders.
