Ratio is 1:30, yes.

Price of B shares usually trail by about $1-2,000 based on price of A shares.

Also, I think there are still a lot of sellers of Bs resulting from the Gen Re merger, whereas big buyers might be inclined to buy the As over the Bs. Arbitrage is hard where Bs underperform, because you can't convert Bs to As -- only As to Bs.

Therefore, I think this divergence might be a good "leading indicator" of the buying interest in BRK.
