Buffetteer Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 We know that Buffett has asked the SEC to keep one of his Q3 transactions confidential. Does anyone know how long these exemptions typically last and when we can expect the details of this trade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LC Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 No idea, perhaps it is up to the SEC to determine and does not follow a fixed schedule? How can you tell Buffett has a confidential position? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffetteer Posted December 5, 2014 Author Share Posted December 5, 2014 A few articles had mentioned it just after the 13F-HR came out.

Guest longinvestor Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 I would welcome the SEC allowing Berkshire secrecy on all big stock buys for 2+ years. Keep the copycats in the dark. Kinda like how short sellers don't have to disclose their positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda like how short sellers don't have to disclose their positions. Why should the SEC give preferential treatment to Warren? Because you're a fan?

He's allowed to keep trades confidential because he's building a position. This isn't common, everyone else just has to disclose their positions regardless.

100 Shares Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Q4 13F is out. Nothing stood out as a confidential trade in Q3... Was it not a large position or is it still being accumulated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffetteer Posted February 17, 2015 Author Share Posted February 17, 2015 Could be the sale of XOM. Buffett sold out of the company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
