Warren Buffett?s Berkshire Hathaway Inc. invested $23.9 billion in the third-quarter, the most in at least 15 years, as he accelerated stock purchases and broadened the portfolio beyond consumer and financial-company holdings.
Berkshire bought almost $7 billion of equity securities in the three months ended Sept. 30, compared with $3.62 billion in the second quarter and $834 million in the first, the Omaha, Nebraska-based company said Nov. 4 in a filing. Stockholdings labeled ?commercial, industrial and other? soared 62 percent in the three months to $17.4 billion on a cost basis, surpassing equity investments in financial and consumer-product firms.
?He sees something, and it?s big,? said Thomas Russo, a partner at Berkshire investor Gardner Russo & Gardner.
The last time interest rates were exceedingly low for an exceptional period (2002-2003), Buffett bought up home-building companies, aluminum siders, house paint manufacturers and carpeting mills.? He correctly gamed a massive housing boom that would dominate the economic story of the aught's decade.
