    The beauty of fractional shares lies in their flexibility. I can allocate my $1000 across multiple positions, without being forced into an either-or decision. For instance, I can opt for a 60/40 split between $Berkshire Hathaway(BRK.B)$ and $NASDAQ 100(NDX)$, or any other ratio that suits my market view. This granular control enables me to diversify my portfolio, manage risk, and capitalize on opportunities with precision.

    I don’t know about Berkshire vs Nasdaq. But I will go for S&P ETF instead, because that’s what even Warran Buffett had recommended if one doesn’t know better about stocks picking [Tongue][Facepalm][Miser][Smug] Clever take? [Cool]

    safer to buy Nasdaq qqq, even safer to buy S&P SPY as they are ETF. Single stock counter can be more volatile.  Can put some in Berkshire, since it has a good track record.

    Not BRK for the time being as I believe that they are overvalued for now. QQQ is an option but I won’t put it all in at a go. Perhaps DCA in over a period of time? [Grin]

    Easy choice to buy Berkshire Hathaway instead of the Nasdaq 100 as the "Oracle of Omaha" is just so amazing at 94 yrs old.

    If I can only choose between the 2, I would go for $NASDAQ 100(NDX)$ for diversification. else both seemed good fundamentals
