Here's my wild-ass speculation given the timing. BRK.A gets a ton of press on 6/3 when the data glitch shows it down 99%. Those trades are busted but when it reopens it does trade up as high as $741,971 / share and it is unclear if those trades were busted or not (appears not). NYSE executives call in to BRK headquarters to apologize and make nice and when asked if there is anything they can do to restore confidence, Warren mentions that it does actually bother him that the reported volumes in BRK.A stock are so far from reality - can't something be done about that? Since I have you on the phone....?

4 days later Warren's annoyance is suddenly fixed... coincidence?
