The share price on freetrade hadn’t updated since the 9th June but updated today.
Are the analysts for Berkshire Hathaway’s price targets on drugs or have they slipped with the decimal place? Surely having price targets this high is an error, else we would all throw everything we had at it?
Who makes the analysis ratings and estimates for FT and what basis do they make their assessments?
Asking for a friend.

I’d guess those are actually the analyst price targets for the other class of Berkshire stock, BRKA, which is famously quite pricey.
Thanks Rod. That makes sense. BRKA is at 469,992.78 usd and the price targets are around the 500,000 mark. I’ll let FT know that this looks like an error.

FT support say “Unfortunately this issue related to a bug that our engineers have identified and are currently working with our Third Party provider to resolve. Deepest apologies for any inconvenience this is causing.”
Thank you for figuring that one out @rod

When I bought it says 1 share but now it’s been bought at under 1 share so I take it I can just top it up to 1 share with sown fractional buys?

Its near on impossible to get it spot on making it whole by topping up.
Easier to go a touch over and then sell the fraction needed to get back to 1. (Albeit this costs a view pence in wastage)
Use limit order for whole shares

I buy US stocks as limit orders - that way it’s always a whole share, as fractions mess with my OCD

Yeah I started with fractional but don’t like it, as you say…messy
Limit order and a whole share suits me better 
Berkshire Hathaway is now sitting on a huge amount of cash, last estimate I’ve found is $277 billion. What Buffett and Abel are going to do next? I’m expecting some even more radical changes ahead of Buffett’s “retirement”, selling Apple, BAC, and BYD could be just the tip of the iceberg.
I wish I purchased more shares 2 years ago…

BRK.B is down to $410.40 and LGEN to £2.14.
I may sell some of the garbage I’ve being buying just for diversification sake, and add more of these two fat cows

I bought L n G this morning
Back down to 9 holdings, added to BRK.B & LGEN, and most important I won’t touch any global / developed countries / S&P 500 trackers until the correction (or whatever this is) will be over. Feeling better now XD

That’s the issue it’s like me I think it will drop more but it’s always gut feelings for me it’s none math or investigating like others do. I need to learn more.
Anyway the issue is that you sit and go this will drop more this will drop more kinda like what I done a month ago and it shot right up and I said fk I missed it so kept my cash in the bank.
That’s why drip feeding this down cycle might be wise who knows though others might have better advice.
I just used all my money today but if I use anymore etc it will be limited to maybe 1 or 2 a day if etf or whatever I feel might drop just so I’m in the market.
