Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway buys stake in Monsanto

Berkshire Hathaway, the holding company controlled by billionaire Warren Buffett, has revealed a new stake in Creve Coeur-based Monsanto.
Berkshire acquired 8,041,784 Monsanto shares in the fourth quarter of 2016, according to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The shares were valued at $846.1 million, according to the filing. That's $105.21 per share.
Monsanto shares closed Tuesday at $107.63.
Berkshire also nearly quadrupled its investment in Apple to over 57 million shares worth roughly $6.64 billion during the last three months of 2016.
Investors like to look at Berkshire's investments because of Buffett's remarkably successful track record although the filing doesn't make clear who made all the investments.
Based on a comparison to a filing for the period ended Sept. 30, Berkshire Hathaway also:
• Cut its stake in Verizon to 928 shares from 15 million shares.
