Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (NYSE: BRK-B, BRK-A) and Warren Buffett have just released the latest holdings of U.S.-listed equities as of September 30, 2011. These public stock holdings have been broken down into two groups of ‘A to K’ and ‘L to Z’ so it is more concise and the new positions worth $200 million or so are likely that of new portfolio manager Todd Combs. We have included some accompanying notes on each.

American Express Co. (NYSE: AXP) was over 151.6 million shares, SAME AS last quarter.
Bank of New York Mellon Corp. (NYSE: BK) was 1,793,915 shares, SAME AS last quarter.
CVS Caremark Corporation (NYSE: CVS) is a NEW POSITION of 5,661,000 shares worth $190.1 million.
Comdisco Holdings (NASDAQ: CDCO) was roughly 1.5 million shares, SAME AS BEFORE.
Coca Cola Co. (NYSE: KO) was right at 200 million shares, SAME AS BEFORE.
ConocoPhillips (NYSE: COP) is roughly 29.1 million shares, roughly the SAME AS BEFORE but it is still lower than previous quarters.

DirecTV (NASDAQ: DTV) is a NEW POSITION listed as 4,249,400 shares worth $ 179.6 million.
Dollar General Corporation (NYSE: DG) is a LARGER POSITION at 4.497 million shares worth some $169.8 million versus last quarter’s new position of 1,497,800 shares. This one of our Top Stocks for the Next Decade.
Exxon Mobil Corp. (NYSE: XOM) was 421,800 shares; SAME AS before but lower than the 1.276 million shares originally.
Gannett Co. (NYSE: GCI) was 1.74 million, SAME AS BEFORE but decreased in prior quarters.
General Dynamics Corporation (NYSE: GD) is a NEW POSITION of 3.064 million shares worth $174.3 million.
General Electric Corp. (NYSE: GE) is 7.777 million shares; SAME AS before. Please note that this does not include the huge preferred shares from late in 2008 that are likely to be called from Buffett later this year.
GlaxoSmithKline (NYSE: GSK) 1.51 million shares, SAME AS last quarter.
Ingersoll-Rand (NYSE: IR) was 636,600; SAME AS last quarter but still way down from prior reports.
Intel Corporation (NASDAQ: INTC) is a NEW POSITION of 9.333 million shares worth $199.6 million.
International Business Machines Corporation (NYSE: IBM) is a NEW POSITION and we found out this morning that Buffett’s stake is nearly 64 million shares worth well over $10 billion with an average cost of about $170 per share.
Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ) was just over 37.4 million, a LOWER POSITION versus the 42.6 million shares the June quarter and way under the peak of 62 million shares at one point in prior quarters.
Kraft Foods (NYSE: KFT) was a LOWER POSITION at 89.7+ million versus 99,467,624 shares at the June quarter and way down from before selling during the Cadbury purchase.

Despite the revelation made this morning and despite the new positions in IBM and Intel, there is still data not represented in Berkshire Hathaway’s full holdings: Confidential information has been omitted from the Form 13F and filed separately with the Commission. It looks as though Warren Buffett was again given permission to delay or omit some of the new holdings.

Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (NYSE: BRK-B, BRK-A) and Warren Buffett have just released the latest holdings of U.S.-listed equities as of June 30, 2011. These public stock holdings have been broken down into two groups of ‘A to L’ and ‘M to Z’ so it is more concise and clear to see the path of changes. We have included some accompanying notes on each. Keep in mind that Todd Combs is a new portfolio manager and his new positions were given ‘special exemptions’ from being disclosed last quarter.

American Express Co. (NYSE: AXP) was over 151.6 million shares, SAME AS last quarter.
Bank of New York Mellon Corp. (NYSE: BK) was 1,793,915 shares, SAME AS last quarter.

Lubrizol Corporation (NYSE: LZ) was not listed as a formal holding, but Berkshire Hathaway is still in the acquisition process.

What is interesting is that Berkshire Hathaway STILL does not full reflect its full holdings: Confidential information has been omitted from the Form 13F and filed separately with the Commission. It looks as though Warren Buffett was again given permission to delay or omit some of the new holdings.

Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (NYSE: BRK-B, BRK-A) and Warren Buffett have just released the latest holdings of U.S.-listed equities as of March 31, 2011 for the Q2-2011 holdings. These public stock holdings have been broken down into two groups of ‘A to L’ and ‘M to Z’ so it is more concise and clear to see the path of changes. Here are Warren Buffett’s holdings and accompanying notes on each for the group ‘A to L’ in shares. When the recent earnings came out, we did see that the equity holdings’ value at March 31 grew to over $61.8 billion from $59.8 billion as of December 31, 2010.

American Express Co. (NYSE: AXP) over 151.6 million shares, SAME AS last quarter.
Bank of New York Mellon Corp. (NYSE: BK) was the same 1,793,915 shares as last quarter.
Coca Cola Co. (NYSE: KO) was still listed as right at 200 million shares, SAME AS BEFORE.
Comdisco Holdings (NASDAQ: CDCO) was roughly 1.5 million shares, SAME AS BEFORE.
ConocoPhillips (NYSE: COP) is roughly 29.1 million shares, slightly lower.
Costco Wholesale (NASDAQ: COST) 4,333,363 Shares, SAME AS last quarter after having lowered it before.
Exxon Mobil Corp. (NYSE: XOM) is static at 421,800 shares; SAME AS before but lowered from 1.276 million shares originally.
Gannett Co. (NYSE: GCI) 1.74 million, SAME AS BEFORE but decreased from earlier.
General Electric Corp. (NYSE: GE) 7.777 million shares; SAME AS before but this does not include the huge preferred shares from late in 2008 that are likely to be called from Buffett later this year.
GlaxoSmithKline (NYSE: GSK) 1.51 million shares, SAME AS last quarter.
Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (NYSE: GS) is not listed, but Berkshire Hathaway still has all of those warrants from its 10% preferred share investment from the recession.
Ingersoll-Rand (NYSE: IR) was kept at 636,600; SAME as last quarter but way down from prior reports.
Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ) was static at just over 42.6 million shares; SAME as last quarter but well under the peak of 62 million before.
Kraft Foods (NYSE: KFT) was static at 105.21 million, SAME AS BEFORE but lower than before selling during the Cadbury purchase.
Lubrizol Corporation (NYSE: LZ) was not listed as a formal holding, but Berkshire Hathaway is trying to acquire this company despite the David Sokol issues.

What is interesting is that Berkshire Hathaway does not full reflect its full holdings. Buffett is again keeping his cards close to the vest for what he thinks will be copy-cat share buying (most likely on Combs’ new positions). This filing shows that “only” about $53.6 billion in equities are reflected here, but the most recent earnings report showed an equity value” of about $61.8 billion. It looks as though Warren Buffett was given permission to delay some of the new holdings.

Several Portfolio Trades for Buffett & Berkshire Hathaway (BRK-B, BRK-A, COP, XOM, KFT, MCO, RSG, CDCO, HD, LOW, COST, WMT, MTB, WSC)

Administrator — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 12:02:41 +0000

Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (NYSE: BRK-B, BRK-A) has made many changes in portfolio investing approach through time. The one constant is his ‘forever’ strategy, which now only means a bit more than multi-year for many of his positions. Since he has adopted a policy of being above the common holder in leaner times and since he has taken BNSF private and broadened out his shareholder base with the Berkshire-B shares, it really seems that this is the time for Mr. Buffett to adopt a more concentrated portfolio as he has many overlapping positions in direct competitors where he could perhaps make more of an impact by making a bolder statement.

We have gone through the entire public stock holdings of Berkshire Hathaway and addressed some of his overlaps, some recent trends, and even gone over some of his ‘forever’ picks. In oil we are paring up the ConocoPhillips (NYSE: COP) position against Exxon Mobil Corp. (NYSE: XOM). A few standalone positions that need to be addressed are Kraft Foods (NYSE: KFT), Moody’s Corp. (NYSE: MCO), Republic Services Inc. (NYSE: RSG), and Comdisco Holdings (NASDAQ: CDCO). In home improvement centers there is this split between Home Depot Inc. (NYSE: HD) and Lowe’s Companies (NYSE: LOW). In retail, there is Costco Wholesale (NASDAQ: COST) versus Wal-Mart Stores Inc. (NYSE: WMT). Lastly there is this financial powerhouse group under Buffett via M&T Bank Corp. (NYSE: MTB) and Wesco Financial Corp. (NYSE: WSC).

We took a look at each position versus some rough weightings per sector in the full Berkshire Hathaway portfolio holdings in our screening and decision process. What is not a factor, and one that could play a role in some of Buffett’s determination presently versus the past, is that Buffett may in his mind have a Keiretsu where all of his underlying business units have secondary relationships with some of his stock and debt portfolio holdings’ parents.

BUFFETT’s OIL & GAS BETS

There has been an interesting trade that started but that never really finished. Buffett made a huge bet in ConocoPhillips (NYSE: COP), which he admitted was a very wrong bet. His Chinese oil investment he shed due to pressure over Sudan and other civil rights issues, but he recently took on Exxon Mobil Corp. (NYSE: XOM) as a sideshow.

ConocoPhillips (NYSE: COP) is now a position of roughly 29.1 million shares, which comes to about $1.6 billion or so in total today. Conoco is a steadily smaller stake… lower than the prior 34.179 million shares and yet another cut from 37.7 million two quarters ago and 57.43 million and 62.485 million before that. Exxon Mobil Corp. (NYSE: XOM) is now 421,800 shares which is the same as before but the position was lowered from 1.276 million shares originally.

Here is the take, and this is something that Buffett needs to consider greatly. Exxon’s market cap of $310 billion is nearly 4-times that of rival Conoco. Buffett historically liked to look for ways he could commit his money in a non-disrupting manner but that is no longer the case. What is interesting about Exxon, particularly when you see where Buffett made his bad bet on Conoco, is that Buffett could quite literally invest as much cash as he wanted to in Exxon Mobil and not move the meter so much here. Even a (theoretical) 5% stake would cost more than $15 billion today, making it the Buffett giant versus some $8+ billion of Wells Fargo and versus the $1.6 billion in Conoco. Buffett needs more energy exposure through time, and Exxon is the only logical choice for Buffett to park his billions easily.
