$350 is less than a third of where the Bs IPOed (B shares first traded ~$1200 which is the equivalent of $24 adjusted for the 50-for-1 split in 2010). With the Bs at around $350, I think they are easily affordable for almost anyone who’s going to invest in individual companies vs index funds. Buffett won’t split it.
I am up to 2003 listening to the Berkshire Annual Meeting archives. Anybody can also hear it from the horses’ mouths recorded in real time. In the years before brk.b shareholders are bringing it up in the Q&A.
It's a terrific resource. I attended for the first time in 2000 and missed only one meeting over the next decade. WIth the webcasts, I haven't been to a meeting in person in many years. Having the pre-webcast meetings available to refer to is an amazing resource.
Aren't we approaching time of additional split of $BRK.B? $300+ is lots of money especially for those who want dollar cost average into a position.
We have frictional shares nowadays, however not every broker provides such service.

Stories of seeing interesting companies people own shares of for decades are hard to come by and always carry insight!
