Don't bother with Berkshire If you've built your portfolio to $70,000, you can cash in all those carefully picked stocks and your months of sweat, worry and research....for one share of Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A: news, msgs), give or take thousands bucks or so. But why would you? True, it'd be nice to have a few shares of Berkshire your Dad gave you for graduation a decade or two ago, but few of us are so lucky and the price of entry these days ,and what you get in return may not even be worth considering. StockPoint's Eric Tyson answers a reader's question about buying Berkshire by saying don't. He says Berkshire may be a lot like a mutual fund in that the parent company holds a lot of investments in a lot of other companies spread across many industries. But he says the stock sells at a hefty premium to the value of the stocks held within the portfolio. You could easily avoid that premium by just going out and buying the stocks Warren Buffet holds yourself. On a more sensitive note, Warren Buffet may be a great stock picker and somebody you could probably trust to take care of your investment, but he's also 69 years old next month. If you're a young investor with a 30 year horizon, that means your portfolio probably won't enjoy the master touch of Buffet all the way to your retirement.
