As a percentage of book value, even if corporate salaries doubled, the costs would still be minuscule. Thomas, that’s an interesting perspective.

The author's point is that you get the benfit of a diverse mutual fund without the added layer of complexity and cost of the fund administraton. Which, btw, is something Buffett himself has railed against as bleeding money out of investor's profits. Jon,

I plan on buying it up when he retires or dies - cause like you said, the price will drop, probably immensely - but for now, I am happy to own .47 B-shares of Berkshire (I am working my way up to 1 share as well) :) Dough,

Since Berkshire is a corporation, it pays income tax on profits from its investments. My question is does it make more sense for you as an investor to let a corporation pay the tax at a fairly high rate, or for you to pay the tax yourself (via mutual funds) at a potentially lower rate (assuming you're a small-time investor)?
