Berkshire is up 5.7% since last Wednesday's close.
But the average S&P 500 firm is up 3.4%, so it's not a gap so large that it requires very much explanation.

The gap is constantly increasing. At the moment I am writing this it's BRK up 6.7% vs. S&P up 2.3%, so Berkshire up nearly 3x as much. Sure, that will be different in an hour, in the one or the other direction, but it makes Berkshire clearly stand out, so I still think there's more behind (flight to safety, fitting the very polarised CNN index components).
