It may be speculative to an "investor". But as an experienced engineer in oil and gas, I can tell you that BRK is not speculative. They are drilling in the best part of the US with high productivity from their wells. It's not a hit or miss situation. They're not drilling for piddly little production rates like the small companies in Australia (which is why I have a rule to not invest in Australian based oil companies - having had a father who worked in small oil explorers for over 50 years). I have never bought shares in an oil company - until this came along. BRK has no financial risk (the market may go down temporarily due to panic selling, but the fundamentals of BRK are solid) and it has a great upside potential. Low risk/high reward - it's a gimme. Watch the share price next week after the roadshow. It starts Monday.
