Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway said yesterday it had taken a $76 million stake in GlaxoSmithKline. That's some Valentine--even though the stake is relatively tiny (Berkshire also announced a $4.3 billion stake in Kraft Foods) where Warren Buffett goes, others are sure to follow.
It also got us thinking--what if longtime Berkshire Hathaway shareholder and well-known troubadour/leisure-man Jimmy Buffett had taken the stake instead? (Though friends, the two men are not related, according to consumer genomics co 23andMe.)
Hmmmm ...
