    I doubt you'll find this information online. How about going to the library and finding a WSJ's from that time? You'll probably have to take future stock splits into consideration, so might be a little tricky for you to hunt this information down manually. Your best bet might be to contact the company and pay for a financial report.

    Speaker cables: MIT MH-750 bi-wire
    TT:Micro Seiki DD-35

    Fortunately, berkshire hathaway has never had a stock split :)

    But I am wondering if they were trading under a different name then as now they have brk/a and brk/b

    May be a 'snipe hunt', but have you tried the Library of Congress? It may take a while, but if anyone has it online , I imagine they would
    I refuse to argue with idiots, because people can't tell the DIFFERENCE!

    The New York Times maintains a database of historical data on securities. It consists of the open, the close. and the trading ranges of the day. Normally, you would use the close. I'm not sure if there is a fee. I used it for research when I worked for Fidelity a long time ago.

    I went under their financial section online, but it only went back to '89. Couldn't find anything else. My teacher assigned this on Thursday and I have to get it done by tuesday. Kind of hard when I dont get home from school on thursday at 10, then work 9-6:30 on fri, sat, and mon...grrrr.

    Oh well, screw it, I've wasted wayyyy too much time on this already.

    You can get into NY Times archives through your local library without having to pay a fee. Their stuff goes way back.
