Nothing at all to do with the answer which was perfect, so ignore if
you aren't an investor, but if you are thinking of actually investing
in BRK, consider that it is a conglomerate, hence it is almost a
mutual fund of its own and you can just buy a share or two of BRK-B at
a time for a small fee and save the mutual fund fees which continue
year after year.
