Warren Buffett Spent Billions on Stocks in Q3

We recently got a look at Berkshire Hathaway's (NYSE: BRK.A)(NYSE: BRK.B) third-quarter earnings report, and we learned quite a bit about how the conglomerate is doing. We learned that its operating businesses performed quite well, the company still has over $140 billion in cash, and we also were pleasantly surprised to learn that Warren Buffett and his team has been buying back stock aggressively.

What we don't know yet is what stocks Berkshire was buying during the third quarter. But we're about to find out, as Berkshire's latest 13-F filing -- which shows the composition of its stock portfolio -- is due at the end of the week. Here's what we know so far, and why investors might want to pay close attention.
