While I promise not to get into the business of writing about the daily ups and downs of Berkshire Hathaway's stock, I do think it's worth briefly noting that shares of Warren Buffett's holding company had a great day, in stark contrast to Wall Street's great gloom.
Berkshire gained 3.8 percent to close at $131,200 today (Thursday, January 17). That's the stock's biggest one-day advance since mid-August. The S&P, on the other hand, dropped almost three percent in its worst day this year.
Current price:
Berkshire's stock has been moving lower in recent weeks, and even with today's gain, it's still down 12 percent from its all-time closing high of $149,200 on December 10.
