BT CPSO 266 So if you want to invest in BNSF, then you are going to have to buy Berkshire shares?
So if you want to invest in BNSF, then you are going to have to buy Berkshire shares?
Pretty much. The shares you would be getting would be class B and you would be investing in Berkshire Hathaway as such. That and only that. What you would be looking for in that case is Berkshire's overall performance..

The Missabe Road: Safety First
The stock goes away and becomes converted to Berkshire Hathaway class "B" stock.
I am extremely pleased that the BNI moniker finally goes away. Down the road, hopefully the new stock symbol re-emerges as BNSF or something totally different. Borg Nation is gone as is BN and this leftover from pre-merger days.
B-H is an investment company with a very savvy, intellegent owner and manager. It doesn't invest for greed but for growth, more like an industrialist than an opportunist.

Berkshire Hathaway is considered a financial company, mainly insurance.
Reality is that it is so much more than insurance. Besides holding large quantities of stock in Coca Cola, American Express, Proctor Gamble and many others, it owns Dairy Queen, Kirby (vaccuum cleaners), XTRA Lease (large trailer leasing company), candy, jewelry, furniture, and much more.

Dunno. As a BNSF shareholder (NYSE: BNI) I assume it will be removed, replaced by Berkshire Hathaway Class 'B' shares (NYSE: BRK/B). We should know Monday. I opted for all 'BRK/B' shares, ILO any cash. Don't know what I got, yet. Sure don't want to pay any capital gains taxes to the current politicos! Guess we'll soon find out.... I'll inform the Forum when the first "gekko-faced, Coke-can" Dash 9-44CW comes thru town!

It will be delisted from the NYSE as no shares will be available to trade. In addition, it will be removed from the indexes that contain it -- for example it is roughly 5% of the Dow Transportation Index.
I suppose it could stay on NYSE. Unfortunately, since there are no shares being bought or sold, there certainly wouldn't be much action. Or, it could now be considered privately held, so there's no reason to even be listed on NYSE.
One of our financial wizards will have to address this one.

Well now that Berkshire Hathaway owns BNSF; will BNI no longer be trade on the New York Stock Exchange and not be publicly traded?
