I'm surprised that uncle Warren liquidated his XOM and COP positions.

Buffett increased his positions in Visa and Phillips66, my two favorite companies over the past few years.

Curious what everyone thinks about his "confidential treatment" status that he was given when buying DE. It just doesn't seem fair, not that it really would have affected me much. I love my DE stake, but I wouldn't have done anything differently if I would have known what he was doing.
