Berkshire Hathaway is a
steal these days. Both it's "A" shares and "B" shares are trading at
five-year lows and at about half off their recent highs.
While that's a great deal
for one of the world's best companies, I've found an even better
deal. A steal, really. I've found a way to buy Berkshire Hathaway at
-25% its current market price.

I Just Uncovered How to Buy Berkshire Hathaway for 75% of What
It's Trading for Today

If you've ever
wanted to own a piece of Berkshire Hathaway, the Warren
Buffett led conglomerate that has grown from a small textile
manufacturer into a $200 billion empire, now is the time.
The class "B" shares are currently on sale. And I'm not
talking about an ordinary -10% or -20% discount either. No,
after spiraling from a peak of $5,000 to the current price
near $2,500, the stock is now sitting in the half-off rack
at a fresh 5-year low.
This could be one of the most profitable "buy 2 for the
price of 1" sales ever.
I don't need to remind you of what Berkshire Hathaway
has done for shareholders over the years. One glance at the
chart below will give you a pretty good idea that investors
who have put their faith in Buffett have been richly
rewarded -- long-time owners have seen the value of their
Berkshire stake balloon into a six (or possibly seven)
figure fortune.
They don't call Buffett the "Oracle of Omaha" for
nothing. He first began accumulating Berkshire Hathaway in
the early 1960's for just $8 per share (at a time when the
company had $16 per share in working capital). The rest is
history -- at its peak last year, the original class "A"
shares were changing hands for more than $150,000 each.
Of course, it's easy to see why. Between 1965 and 2008,
Berkshire Hathaway's book value has soared a staggering
362,319% -- versus just $4,276% for the S&P 500.
However, that key measure slipped -9.6% last year,
falling for only the second time in Buffett's entire 44-year
tenure. Naturally, Wall Street overreacted and punished the
stock as if Berkshire Hathaway was the next AIG. Let me
assure you, it's not.
I think it speaks volumes that Berkshire has largely
deflected the current economic woes that are sinking other
financial firms. Through it all, the company still managed
to log a net profit of $3,224 per share for the year. And
you can bet that in the end, Berkshire Hathaway shareholders
will actually benefit from the economic chaos.
Buffett has already been sifting through the market's
wreckage and opportunistically putting some of the firm's
$35 billion mountain of cash to work -- providing liquidity
to cash-starved companies and extracting highly favorable
terms.
So I don't know how long this sale on Berkshire
Hathaway's shares will last, but I urge you to take
advantage while you can.
But what if I told you there was a way to chop another
-25% off the stock's current price of $2,500 -- which means
you could own a stake in this amazing wealth creation
vehicle for just $1,875 per share? And what if you could do
so by investing as little as $5 bucks?
Let me explain.
I've uncovered an extraordinary closed-end fund that is
currently trading at a whopping -25% discount to net asset
value (NAV), meaning you can buy its portfolio assets at
just $0.75 on the dollar. And over one-quarter of those
assets are invested in just one stock -- you guessed it,
Berkshire Hathaway.
So what about the rest of the portfolio? Well, you're
gonna get that at a -25% discount as well, and I think
you'll like what you find. The fund holds defensive names
such as Wal-Mart (NYSE: WMT), and even other high-yielding
closed-end funds (which themselves are trading at sizeable
discounts).
This is no gimmick. We're talking about a fund that has
topped the S&P in 6 of the past 7 years, retreating just
half as much as the overall market in 2008. I'm so excited
about this opportunity, I will be shining the spotlight on
this fund in my upcoming ETF Authority newsletter.

Worth Noting
The unemployment rate jumped to
8.1% last month, the highest level in more than 25 years.
The loss of 651,000 jobs in
February is the third-straight month of losses of more

I ran a stock screen this week that
finally gave me something to be excited about. After reviewing this
screen, studying these companies and looking at worldwide inventory

prediction.
This screen shows the sector that's going to lead stocks back to the
black. No sector has ever delivered a greater return on
equity. But the price of the underlying commodity is starting to

Atomic Gains: The Promise of Nuclear Energy
For decades nuclear power was seen as a dangerous
technology synonymous with disasters like Chernobyl. But
today's nuclear power plants have never been safer -- and
they produce power at one of the cheapest rates around.
While nuclear may not have the promise of wind or solar, it
is a tested and reliable source of energy with an already
ample base. We've found several securities with exposure to
nuclear power.
