If that works for you then you'd be crazy to listen to me -- I am biased for sure, and I admit that I often invest according to my biases, e.g., no tobacco companies... In the case of BRK, I don't own a single stock or anything else that doesn't contribute to my income stream now that I'm retired... I am not a good swing trader and never want to be in a position where I have to sell something to generate income in retirement... so that automatically screens BRK (either flavor) out of contention in my PF.... But that's my hangup, not yours... you need to make yourself comfortable and happy in your own way. I am not criticizing, I am explaining why BRK has never been on my watchlist, let alone my "next man up" list. We all have different goals... we are all at different stages in terms of accumulation vs. distribution, etc... and we all have different risk tolerances -- don't ask me why buying BRK scares me personally (hint, I am lousy at timing the market), but am not afraid to own OXLC when that is the sort of investment that scares more people than I can think of... just for the sake of it, here's a great explanation of why I can tolerate the risk with OXLC: Oxford Lane CLO article
