    Can someone please tell me the ticker symbol of Warren Buffett's Berkshire? NYSE:BRK.A and NYSE:BRK.B have come up at search; which is the right one? Thanks indeed.

    BTW, it is reported that this year a lunch date with Buffett went for $620,100 in an eBay auction. The winning bidder is Yongping Duan, a 45-year-old investor from Palo Alto, California. Does anyone know about him? I have been unable to find out much about him.

  2. Both are right. A shares and B shares. Different class of shares.
     
  3. One class A = 30 Class B

    Thanks. So, the market capitalisation of Berkshire would be the total value of share A + the total value of share B?
     
  5. Can you make money by scalping the wide spread of these shares?
     
  6. No volume.
