Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway disclosed a new stake in agricultural and
construction equipment maker Deere & Co, one of a handful of changes in its stock
holdings during the fourth quarter. Berkshire reported a 17.1 million-share stake,
according to a U.S. SEC filing that detailed its domestic equity investments as of Dec.
31.

Buffett began accumulating the position in the third quarter but had not previously disclosed it. The SEC often lets Buffett quietly accumulate large stakes to deter copycats.

Interesting what power and money can do. I wonder whom else would get that favor ?

Just a thought.
