NormR Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 I'm trying to find annual (monthly would be better) share price data for BRK.A going back to at least when Buffett took over management. Can any one point to a good source? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

augustabound Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Yahoo only went back to 1990 for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usdtor05 Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 In the book "Outsiders" the following sources were used and the prices in there went all the way back "Center for Research in Security Price" and "Computstat". Not sure if the CRSP is open to anyone but potentially gives you the information you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phaceliacapital Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 1987 is the best BB can doBRKA.xlsx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CassiusKing1 Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 1987 is as far back as I can go on our bloomberg terminal as well. I'll keep looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NormR Posted July 12, 2013 Author Share Posted July 12, 2013 Thanks for the effort, seems like the mid-1980s is as far back as S&P Cap IQ goes too. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

valueorama Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 http://allfinancialmatters.com/2008/04/02/a-look-at-berkshire-hathaways-annual-market-returns-from-1968-2007/ I have attached a gif from that website, just in case we lose the page for whatever reason. Any body who invested in 77 and held till 87 made a killing. Off course you could say that till to date. But that period seem to have seen the most rise in value.

maxprogram Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Pre-1968 numbers will be average asking price from OTC tables in the last few days of the month. BRK switched to a regular fiscal year in 1967 so that's why earlier figures are from September.
