The man has never split his stock that's why his portfolio Berkshire Hathaways Class A & B stocks are so expensive. The so-called "little people" can't afford it. Also, that's why I'll never buy GEICO insurance which is owned by Berkshire Hathaways. Still maintain the man isn't the financial wizard that Wall Street makes him out to be.
Yer RIGHT!!! And drop that Costco Membership and drop your PROGRESSIVE auto insurance... in fact there's quite a list of America/Bush/Repub/Conservative hating financiers out there that MUST be taught better manners... Especially anything to do with Hollywood!!!
Actually the B's were created so that more people could afford shares. They have since moved up. Certainly the man's right in a free market economy to distribute his company's stock how he sees fit.
The fact that many cannot afford the price of his stock seems to counter the "man isn't the financial wizard" argument.
I might not like the guys politics but it's hard to argue with his success financially.
