Billionaire Buffett, whose nickname is the "Oracle of Omaha," is one of the world's most well-known investors. Thursday's required fourth-quarter report of Berkshire's holdings also lists the addition of 1.5 million shares of European drugmaker GlaxoSmithKlien.

U.S.-traded shares of GlaxoSmithKlein (GSK) rose 0.85 cents, or 1.96% to $44.17. Earlier this week Buffett shocked the markets by offering to take over the municipal bond obligations of bond insurers MBIA (MBI), Ambac (ABK), and FGIC for $800 billion. ... http://money.cnn.com/2008/02/14/news/companies/berkshire_hathaway/index.htm?postversion=2008021418[/quote]
