And the best bing is that Berkshire Hathaway is publicly traded, so anyone can piggy back on Buffet’s brilliance. Returns on an investment in BRK have vastly outpaced the SP 500 over pretty much any time period. In hindsight, I suspect a single $20,000 investment back in 1980 or so would have funded a very adequate retirement for most of us on this board..

Thx for the info, however, if I were to buy either class of Berkshire, I'd eventually have to sell it if I wanted to spend that money -- so it's a non-starter for my DGI PFs.... however, I'd consider it in a LT swing trade acct., but again, I'd have to sell to collect profits/whatever -- but of course that's part and parcel of swing trading over any timeframe: gotta keep buying and selling to make money and "hope" you did your homework right and Mr. Market cooperates, because nobody is ever right 100% the time they buy and sell stocks.
