<prompt> Human: It is now over 200K per share. Ive been looking at it for quite a while, just out of the curiosity of it. Does anyone here actually own any? Pretty crazyawesome that its never been split.Assistant: Berkshire is a holding company run by Warren Buffet, one of the dozen or so people alive who have been able to consistently beat the market in picking financially successful companies over a period of decades. What more do you want to know?I own some in a roundabout way because I own large and mid-cap mutual funds that in turn own some of Berkshire.Human: Sorry, I didnt explain myself very well. I know its run by Buffet. I guess I just want to hear any personal stories anyone has about owning itanyone thats considering it as an investment. I cant afford it, but I find it interesting.  <response>: Im no expert on Berkshire but I think that the biggest story about the stock in the last few years -- if youre just looking for a broad brush assessment of what gets talked about -- is that, although it continues to perform well, there is a huge amount of interest concern over succession planning, i.e., the team that will take over once Buffet retires. Buffet is a pretty singular guy in terms of his ability to consistently beat markets. Berkshire has performed legendarily under a legend, in other words. But people are fixated on whats going to happen once the legend steps down and are wondering whether the company will be able to continue to deliver like it has done for decades under him. Is Berkshire without Warren still Berkshire?
