I am surprised no one posted Berkshire's 13F as of yet... I am honestly shocked Mr Buffett sold such a large amount of JNJ!!!  Is he trying to build his cash for a ratings upgrade?

 

WFC - add 2.15%

PG - reduced 9.15%

WMT - add 3.17%

COP - reduce 34.34%

JNJ - reduce 26.5%

MCO - reduce 18.88%

RSG - add 128.7%

 

Thanks,

The Iron Mountain add is small in dollar amount.   But, combined with the Munich Re purchase, would suggest that insurers will prove a profitable vein to mine with additional analysis.

Iron Mountain (IRM) is the records management company.

Maybe confused with White Mountain.

 

I remember Buffett owning IRM from 5 - 6 years ago.

 

I would assume most sales are related to railroad acquisition in one form or another.
