Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.A) (NYSE: BRK.B) is a stock that most investors know about and that many would like to say they own.

With this stock now comfortably below $625,000, should you buy it? There are a few things to consider first.
Berkshire Hathaway actually has two share classes, one with a price tag in the hundreds of thousands of dollars and the other with a more modest price in the hundreds. The more expensive shares can be converted into 1,500 of the less costly ones at the holder's option.
