Is Berkshire Hathaway Now a Bargain?

Total short interest in BRK A+B is roughly 500+ million (59,000 B shares and 2,687 A shares), sort of a drop in the bucket compared to other short interests. Look at AAPL or GLD they have 2-3 billion in short interest and those stocks have risen 30-50% off their lows.

Is Berkshire Hathaway Now a Bargain?

This is the oldest written article in the book. Kass is like everyone else looking to get his name in the papers (before there are none left) Berkshire employs 200,000+ people pays tons of taxes, has a built in charity program for shareholders...Yeah lets live in a world where this is something we hope goes down. Kass's out look is free information available on the net, anything free on the net is as worthwhile as silly cat pictures.
Bottom line Berkshire has been adding a full zero to the end of peoples entire net worth for a looongtime anyone who wants to short it an scrape out a measily 20% and go to the golf course and brag about betting against Buffett I say enjoy it. Berkshire is receiving the identical media/analyst treatment that Apple has received in the last 4-5 months...look at the opportunity lose the media created there. I for one jumped into Apple and I continue to add to my Berkshire on a monthly basis as I have been doing for years.
