Berkshire share is down 7.2% in that short stretch.

Could this be due to BRK position in Japan and concerns about currency exchange with US dollar? For the first time in years, one of the securities in my schwab account was borrowed for short selling. It was a Japan ETF. The last time a security was borrowed from my account, it signified so much shorting activity that it was hard to find shares to borrow.
