Another Berkshire Hathaway?

Those who know me know that I have great respect for Warren Buffett and Berkshire Hathaway.

If you are interested in owning a piece of Berkshire Hathaway, you can get Class B shares through Sharebuilder.com:

BRK B BERKSHIRE HATHAWAY INC CL B

What you might not know is that there is ANOTHER company, that is structured very much like, and operates on similar principles to, Berkshire Hathaway. It is called Markel Corporation, and it is ALSO available through Sharebuilder.Com:

MKL MARKEL CRP

You might want to take a look... and consider adding it to your portfolio!
