What Happened: A new quarterly filing from Berkshire Hathaway Inc (NYSE:BRK)(NYSE:BRK) revealed a new stock position for the Buffett-led company.
发生了什么：伯克希尔·哈撒韦公司（纽约证券交易所代码：BRK）（纽约证券交易所代码：BRK）发布的新季度文件显示，这家由巴菲特领导的公司有了新的股票头寸。

第三季度公布的新股份包括伯克希尔·哈撒韦公司拥有上市的亚特兰大勇士控股公司（纳斯达克股票代码：BATRA）（纳斯达克股票代码：BATRK）的223,645股股票，该公司有两类股票。
The new position comes thanks to a stake in the baseball team being distributed to shareholders of Liberty Formula One Group, one of the existing positions of the Berkshire Hathaway portfolio. In upcoming quarters, observers will watch to see if Buffett maintains his stake in the baseball team, increases his investment, or decides to sell it.
