splitting shares and being added to SP500

[gurjot]

great letter .  Especially to new shareholders.

 

since splitting class b shares and being added to sp500 the stock price has gone up as of today 22%. which equates to about 34 billion market value increase and it equals to what they paid for burlington including debt. so how much it cost to buy burlington?

Is the per share price of Berk guaranteed not to fall from this level?

The run-up of BRK just before the closing of the deal did help reduce the dilution by about 15%.

I can't tell if you're being facetious or not, but no, of course it isn't.  However, I'd say that to reduce berkshire's intrinsic value below what's currently priced in by the market price would be quite unlikely.  The stock price itself, it's foolish to predict.

cassiusking:  i think it did help with price apprecation and less dilution.  with more dilution and index funds not buying would have most likely reduced price.
