Berkshire Hathaway 2009 Shareholder Meeting

Warren Buffett promises that Berkshire Hathaway won't be "spinning off any companies" in the future.

He joked that anytime someone suggests the company could get a short-term gain from a spin-off, he throws them out of the office.

"We've listened to presentation after presentation" over the years from bankers proposing various deals, and "there's always a fee" involved.

Buffett says it's important the companies bought by Berkshire can trust they will remain with Berkshire.

Current Berkshire stock prices:
Berkshire Portfolio

Class A: [US;BRK.A 92005.0 -1995.00 (-2.12%) ]

Class B: [US;BRK.B 3043.95 -21.05 (-0.69%) ]
