Anheuser-Busch (BUD) pronounced Berkshire Hathaway (BRK-A? )"has suit a significant shareholder" of Anheuser-Busch, and "Anheuser-Busch welcomes Berkshire Hathaway as a shareholder."

Who will not? On the day this news was released, Anheuser-Busch's stock shot up by 6.4% and little $48.04, just the same it has set back to $41.8 as of today.

Buffett did keep some information confidential, which is related to HR guillotine (HRB) and Torchmark (TMK) and which we provisionally accept that Buffett has sold, as stated in the 13F filing :

"Confidential Information has been omitted from the public Form 13F and filed with the Commission. Included in this information is information regarding Berkshire's positions in H&R Block, Inc. and Torchmark Corp. included in its March 31, 2005 public Form 13F."
