Can you provide a little context about why this may be of interest right now?

Other than the recent addition of IBM, Berkshire's major holdings haven't changed much in a long time.

Warren Buffett or Berkshire Hathaway generally holds the best companies in the U.S. that pay increasing dividends every 3 months.
These increasing-dividend companies provide a stream of steady of income.

It's a wonderful irony that Warren Buffet always makes a big deal about dividends and yet Berkshire Hathaway never pays them :).

Clearly i should put 100% of my stock allocation into BRK since it grows double that of the DJIA! :)
