    Does it even trade after hours? I thought I had read somewhere that it doesn't.

    You can short BRK.B on TOS, but not A

  5. yes they are. i have been short b on an imbalance before. i have never traded a since it trades in 10 lots but i know people who do and they are long and short it all the time.

  6. Not shortable? What nonsense. As of 04/15/08 the short interest in BRK.A is 2,828 shares and in BRK.B is 39,238 shares.

  8. brk.a trades in 1 share round lots, and both a and b are almost always available to short...my coach trades both brk.a and brk.b almost everyday (long and short)....the misinformation on this board is staggering at times

  9. I would rather trade NVR than BRK.a/b.

    I use to tear NVR up, all the time.
