(NYSE: BRK-A; BRK-B) annual meeting this morning and there was one key change in the stock holdings.  We detailed Buffett’s full holdings most recently and we should have an update to that within about two weeks or so.  The standout position change that Berkshire Hathaway gave an update to was in Wells Fargo & Co. (NYSE: WFC).  Warren Buffett said this was his favorite bank long ago, and he keeps putting his money where his mouth is.

Buffett grew his holdings in Wells Fargo & Co.
