$100 a share might seem a lot for Burlington, but financial relativity theory says the length of those $ is going to shrink as the pixelation process and speed of the $$ continues to accelerate towards the speed of light. I can remember when $100 was very serious money. It won't be all that long before $1000 is needed to give the same feelings as $100 now. If Warren Buffett is thinking in terms of 5 years and 10 years rather than profits of next quarter and next year and 2011, then he has a much better bet. He no doubt is thinking along those lines. Berkshire shares are valued highly because of Warren, so like a star under the gravitational influence of another, he can drag Burlington into Berkshire and thereby magically turn low value Burlington shares into high value Berkshire shares and having to provide not too many of said Berkshire shares.
