Good job mitchelg on puchasing BRK.B when you did.  I wish I would not have procrastinated when something told me to buy it.  You've seen a good increase in the last few days.  Lucky you!!  Are you going to Omaha to his annual meeting?

When do you think it would be a good time to be purchasing BRK.B stock?  I see today it went to $4,241

I don't have a specific entry point from a dollar perspective, but anytime it's selling for less than 1/30th of the A-share's price is a good time to buy it, IMO.

It closed below the 200 day moving average today. I was thinking about buying but I'll have to wait and see.

Today it's down to $4,179.  Lowest for the year.  Maybe I didn't miss out after all.  And yes, FAIRX is on my list of purchases.  It's a great fund.  I would love to be able to go to Warren's annual meeting next year.  Do you have to own his stock direct or can you own the stock in a mutual fund and still go?  I'm only 100 miles away from Omaha.  I think I would buy the stock just so I can go to the meeting and it is a great stock, otherwise I wouldn't even consider it.  I'd love for Warren to manage my money.  Not too many managers any better.  He, he.

I think you have to be a direct shareholder. I looked at BRK.B at about $3200 last summer. Oh well. I am not good at picking stocks. Although I do better than my former broker did!
