Very useful info. I didn't realized Berkshire Hathaway Held Home Depot (HD). When did he acquire it? The stores and the company seem in such bad shape I'm starting to think of HD as a turnaround story.
Disclosure:
I own Home Depot(HD) and Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A)
Hi David,
Buffett's been in HD for some time.
He owns about 4M shares now, which is down from the 5M he owned as of Dec, 31 2005.
At June 30, 2005 he owned 945,000 shares. It looks like some time between March 31, 2005 and June 30, 2005 he put on the trade.
HD looks like a turnaround story. But I don't know if Buffett believes in the turnaround story or not. Next quarter's filing will be interesting. He could be raising or lowering his stake based on the recent events. Of course he could just do nothing and maintain the position.
