The BRK converti's have $3.41/share convert price and the stock is trading at $6. Buffett has nearly doubled his investment in 1 month if he cashed out now, or hedged with some short stock sales.

Buffett's motivations may not have been charitable as you suggest.

Of course to conclude from this that it is a good idea to buy straight stock at $6/share would not be rational. You would be paying about 2X what Buffett paid for your interest in the company if you did.
