Will Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway stock go down to zero if he tries to sell a large amount?

It’s a mutual fund comprised of many stocks, does not work that way.

@ARE_you_kidding_me Can you explain how it happens then? Thanks

No, not at all. The chances of it going to $0 are infinitesimal, anyway.

His stock of Berkshire Hathaway is at $294,000 per share. There isn’t a large market for that type of purchase, for certain. But if he dumped a lot on the market, it’s market price would go down for lack of demand. But it wouild not hit 0.

And it the main Berkshire Hathaway stock (BRKA) is not a mutual fund – the information above is incorrect.

It is a regular old stock that has never split.

Yeah you’re actually right about that. It’s like a mutual fund in the sense that it’s a holding company Purchasing that single stock is like purchasing shares in a managed, diversified mutual fund.

Buffet is worth billions of dollars. Any financial need that he has would be a small fraction of that. He could sell off a million dollars worth of his stock and its value would not suddenly crash.
