Followers will parse Buffett's accompanying letter for any plans the famed investor might have for that money as well as his thoughts on the economy and markets.

Investors got their most recent look at Berkshire's stock-market moves when the company disclosed it had trimmed its flagship position in Apple in the fourth quarter while boosting its stakes in Chevron and Occidental Petroleum.
One tantalizing mystery: Berkshire wrote for a second consecutive quarter that it was requesting confidential treatment from the Securities and
Exchange Commission for one or more holdings it omitted from its public 13F filing. One reason institutional investors can ask the SEC to keep a holding private is that disclosing it would reveal a continuing program of buying or selling a security. Investors can initially ask the SEC for confidentiality for up to one year.
Some observers have guessed that Berkshire bought a financial stock because of an increase in the third quarter in the company's cost basis for stock investments in the category of banks, insurance and finance.
