Lets put a marker March 1: NASDAQ at 2288.03 ... BRK.A at $71,000 ... I am betting on BRK ... and I get to sleep nights and do not need a real time ticker service.) In response to your observation: "However, if you can deal for $ 8 or 7 over the net and clear a few percentage during the day, why should this folk invest in a long-term proven proposition such as BH where it takes so much money to buy only one share." Have you ever been out at a picnic when all of a sudden the birds stop birding and crickets stop cricketing and things start to get quiet and a bit cooler ... and you know it is time to head for the car." The high tech sector is like that now .. with values going super high and earnings projections tapering off: - Yahoo has a market value higher than Boeing - Compaq is starting to lag (why did they ever buy digital ?) - worries and results from Dell that have caused Dell to state they can not make margins sufficient on systems costing over $1000 so they will move to lower cost and make up for it on volume (the death cry of every previous powerful system builder.) - HP releasing sobering forecasts - Microsoft appearing to lose the public side of their trial - the Asians are retooling with immense very optimistic investments from firms like GE salivating at the outlook. And the real darlings of the Tech Sector (.coms) are loved and bought on with decreasing volumes based on projected earnings several (sometimes 20) years out). regards but then again I am very biased .. I have never seen BRK at such a discount ... We are early 50's retired and if we did not have ground rules to assure we should never have to return to the high tech lands we come from .. I would mortgage the house for BRK right now.
