Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway bought a stake in The New York Times during his final quarter as CEO
"Buffett and his two investment managers at the time, Ted Weschler and Todd Combs - who has since quit to work for Jamie Dimon at JPMorgan - also pared their key Apple and Bank of America stakes once again, by about 4% and 9% respectively. Berkshire offloaded 77% of its Amazon stake, fueling a sharp decline in the position's value from $2.2 billion at the end of September to $525 million at December's close."
"The company added to other holdings, including Chubb and Chevron, while selling down the likes of Aon. It didn't touch its Alphabet stake, established in the third quarter, but the position's value jumped from around $4.3 billion to $5.6 billion as shares of Google's parent company surged in the period. Buffett, 95, took control of Berkshire when it was a failing textile mill in 1965 and grew it into a $1 trillion conglomerate over the next six decades."
