Is it possible to still buy into their Class B stock? BRK.B is the symbol I think.

Of course it is, what made you think it might not be?

I thought I Heard it was closed to new investors. Does anyone here own any BRK ?

You can buy BRK.A and BRK.B now. It's not the most liquid stock in the world, but it shouldn't be a problem.

It looks like BRK/B has daily volume of like 10k-15k shares (like $35M - $53M), and BRK/A has daily volume of like 500 shares (like $50M).

I bought brk.b last month. I plan to hold it for the next 30 years, barring any earth shattering changes.

Public stocks are always available for sale, by definition, unless they are halted by an exchange like Neteller.

So why Isn't everyone buy the stock? It is one of the most consistent returners out there.

Costs I's guessing.
