Bill Gates: Now Garbage Man & Gringo Investor (MSFT, CNI, TV, FMX, RSG, WMI, AW)

Bill_gates_image_2Tonight we received the quarterly filings for Cascade Investment LLC, which shows the personal investments of Bill Gates.  While the investment vehicle listed many unique holdings out there that were much the same as before, there are much more interesting things to look at besides his now greatly-diminished role at Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT).  Cascade’s now holds 33.895 million shares of Canadian National Railways Co. (NYSE: CNI) with a stake worth some $1.627 Billion as of June 30, 2008.  many of his other holdings look the same as before which you can see in this filing versus what we noted last quarter.

Bill Gates Personal Stock Holdings (MSFT, CNI, FSCI, OTTR, LGBT, PNM, RSG, SIX, FMX, TV, BRK.A)

Below are most of the equity holdings listed for Bill Gates’ own Cascade Investment, L.L.C. as of December 31, 2007.  These were disclosed in a filing late in the week.  Keep in mind that these are not tied at all to Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) and these also do not include the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation either.  This also does not include any ETF holdings.  These are not quite all of his holdings inside of Cascade, but these are the bulk of the holdings:

Company (Ticker)                                                  Value                 Shares
Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK-A)             $573,480,000       4,050
Canadian National Rail (NYSE: CNI)           $1,589,028,000     33,859,544
Fisher Communications (NASDAQ: FSCI)  $17,298,000          455,700
Fomento Econmico Mexicano (NYSE: FMX)$412,617,000        10,810,000
Grupo Televisa S.A. (NYSE: TV)                      $467,803,000       19,680,400
Otter Tail Corp. (NASDAQ: OTTR)                  $88,455,000          2,556,499
PlanetOut Inc. (NASDAQ: LGBT)                    $3,240,000             521,739
PNM Resources Inc. (NYSE: PNM)               $150,569,000         7,019,550
Republic Services Inc. (NYSE: RSG)            $852,483,000         27,192,451
Six Flags, Inc. (NYSE: SIX)                              $20,728,000           10,210,600

If you want to see Mr. Gates’ new best friend’s holdings (that would be Warren Buffett) you can see all of those here for the same period.
