Berkshire Hathaway

I added $BRK-B to my portfolio this week, and while it's not an ETF, I'm going to go DCA there now too. Did you add or remove anything this week?

What do you think of Berkshire $BRK-B's quarterly results? 🤔

Berkshire Hathaway reported second-quarter earnings per share (EPS) of $3.75, missing analysts' estimates of $3.76. Revenue for the quarter was $82.12 billion, compared to the consensus estimate of $82.14 billion.

Warren Buffett (Berkshire Hathaway $BRK-B) sold 70% of his investment in Activision Blizzard $ATVI in the second quarter, and appears to have lost some of the gains as a federal judge said Microsoft can complete its $68.7 billion acquisition of the video game maker.

Berkshire Hathaway $BRK-B announced that it has acquired additional shares of oil company Occidental Petroleum Corp $OXY, increasing its stake to more than 25%.
