Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.A)(NYSE: BRK.B) has been one of the most successful stock investments of all time. Plus, many people reading this aren't old even enough to have bought Berkshire stock in the 1960s.

Warren Buffett has invested more than $74 million in a Reston company best known for controlling internet domains for organizations across the globe.

The CEO slashed Berkshire’s Apple stake by two-thirds—and left some $30 billion on the table while incurring a big tax bill.

For decades, Berkshire Hathaway's stock was only available through over-the-counter markets. But on Nov. 29, 1988, it listed what are now known as its Class A shares on the New York Stock Exchange. In his shareholder letter that year, Buffett said his main motivation was minimizing investors' transaction costs.

This was the stock's third consecutive day of gains.

Buffett has been a net seller of stocks by a wide margin in 2024, reducing equity exposure by over $100 billion. Buffett is finding it hard to find good value in the stock market as prices rise faster than underlying earnings.
