Berkshire Hathaway has added to its position in a homebuilder whose shares have fallen sharply, nearly doubling its stake in the company. The purchase by Warren Buffett's conglomerate is drawing attention as a possible vote of confidence in the housing sector even as homebuilders struggle with weak demand and pressured margins. Investors are watching whether other big funds follow Berkshire into the beaten-down stock.

Greg Abel has broken Berkshire Hathaway's 14-quarter streak of net stock sales, reportedly buying a net $20 billion of equities last quarter. The reversal marks a sharp shift in the company's investing posture under its new leadership and is drawing attention to how Abel will deploy Berkshire's cash pile compared with Warren Buffett's long-running caution.

Berkshire Hathaway has raised its stake in homebuilder Lennar, according to a report by GuruFocus.

Lennar is one of the largest homebuilders in the United States.

Warren Buffett has issued a warning about market conditions that commentators argue history suggests investors should take seriously.

Warren Buffett's long-standing proposal to curb the US deficit is circulating again. The idea is simple: Congress must pass any deficit-reduction law, and if the deficit is not cut below 3% of GDP, sitting members of Congress become ineligible for re-election. The plan, floated years ago, is being shared and debated as concerns over America's mounting federal debt grow louder.
