Is BRKB really at 52 week low? In the US, you can also buy fractional shares of BRKB through ShareBuilder. I think I have 0.05 shares or something :) Thanks for the reminder.

Lets say you pick a list of 10 stocks on their site that they offer co-op trades on and each month you put 200 bucks in your shareowner account, each year you move your 2400 bucks in to each of the 10 stocks your total transaction costs are only 36 bucks. It's an interesting concept for the slow, persistent investors. They also have some indexes available. The brokerage site is actually Canadian ShareOwner Investments, you can get there at:

"Ladies and gentlemen, please stand for the national anthem of Margheritaville" - Jimmy Buffett. Warren Buffett rocks too. Wise, Witty and Generous = Cool I'm going the indexing route untill I have enough to buy one share of BRK.B - Baby Berkshire at 52 Week Low. Only then will I be able to beat the index in the long run. Long live the Oracle of Omaha! Buffett Rocks!

I've owned shares in Berkshire Hathaway for several years now, and his reports are always fascinating and comprehensible. The most interesting part for me was his discussion of pension accounting, which is what I chose to discuss in my post: <a href="http://michaeljamesmoney.blogspot.com/2008/03/warren-buffett-on-pensions.html" rel="nofollow">link</a>.
