Burlington Northern's New Engineer: Warren Buffett

It was my privilege to attend the past two BRK annual meetings. It was estimated that 35,000 were there last May. The auditorium was full, it will be burdensome to accommodate a lot of new share-holders. Does it follow that options will be traded on the new share class?

On the DTCC and Market Liquidity

Warren Buffett Accumulates NRG Energy, Ingersoll-Rand and Union Pacific

RonB, Thank you for your observation and post. A question that almost continually occupies my underdeveloped, long A & B mind is: Instead of concerning them selves with what Warren has done or is going to do, why don't they just join him?
