The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

This is the first I have heard about fractional ownership of A shares.
Is it fairly common?
How do they get voted?
Can you sell a fraction of your fraction or does it have to be sold in the same size as the purchase?
If one were to invest in BRK now and had access to fractional ownership and you could sell as much or as little of your fraction as you wanted then it seems you would be getting a bigger bang with the fractional A shares than with whole B shares.

This is my first post on this board so let me add my thanks to Manlobbi and to all who make this such an enjoyable place to visit.
