Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (NYSE:BRK.A) (NYSE:BRK.B)’s 13F filing yesterday garnered a great deal of attention from the media. Four things stood out – 1) the new stake in Verizon Communications Inc. (NYSE:VZ); 2) the increased stake in Liberty Media Corp (NASDAQ:LMCA) (NASDAQ:LMCB); 3) the increased position in Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. (NYSE:WMT); and 4) the reduced stake in Phillips 66 (NYSE:PSX).
