Advisors' Opinion:

  This is the week that we will get to see 13-D and 13-F filings from investment firms, and one notable one is always that of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (NYSE: BRK-A). Investors love Warren Buffett and they often copy his moves. It is presumed that General Electric Co. (NYSE: GE) and DaVita Healthcare Partners Inc. (NYSE: DVA) will be larger holdings. There might even be more International Business machine Corp. (NYSE: IBM) and Suncor�Energy Inc. (NYSE: SU) as well.� Wells Fargo & Co. (NYSE: WFC) seems a shoe-in to be a larger equity stake yet again.

• [By Keith Speights]

  1. Keep it simple
  Buffett likes to keep things simple and understand the business before he buys. DaVita Healthcare Partners (NYSE: DVA  ) is a great example of this desired simplicity. The company provides dialysis services for patients with chronic kidney disease or end stage renal disease. Patients with these diseases can't survive without dialysis. DaVita provides the service. It doesn't get much more simple than that.

• [By Johanna Bennett]

  DaVita HealthCare Partners (DVA) rose 6.75% to $60.35 after giving a 2014 enterprise operating income outlook.

  Alcoa (AA) rose 3.8% to $9.59 after Goldman Sachs upgraded the stock to a Buy from a Neutral. Caterpillar (CAT) rose 2.3% to $84.80 after Bank of America Merrill Lynch upgraded the stock to a Buy from a Neutral and�increased its price target to $100 from $87.

• [By Jon C. Ogg]

  DaVita HealthCare Partners Inc. (NYSE: DVA) was the last of most important stakes that was grown in the Berkshire Hathaway portfolio. This was officially listed as 31.446 million shares, and that was higher last quarter, but more recent filings show that the stake is now even larger. Buffett likes owning a piece of the leader in kidney dialysis centers, and the company even entered a standstill agreement whereby Berkshire Hathaway is not to take more than a 25% stake. That stake is now about 17%, and we would expect that to only grow ahead. Shares were at $58.90 mid-Friday, against a 52-week range of $52.23 to $65.67, and versus an analyst consensus price target of $61.42.

Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Jim Jubak]

  I think you can use shares of Japanese exporters-such as Toyota Motors (TM)-or Japanese financials-such as Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group (MTU)-as trading vehicles for this move. I mention both because they trade as very liquid ADRs in New York. If you trade in Tokyo, you should look at exporters more leveraged to the yen than Toyota-such as Hino Motors (JP:7205 in Tokyo) or Mazda Motor (JP:7261)-or real estate development companies with more yen sensitivity than more diversified financials-such as Sumitomo Realty and Development (JP:8830). Toyota and Mitsubishi UFJ are both members of my Jubak's Picks portfolio.

  Also interesting is that the duration of rising rate environments is distinctly shorter after 1982. The average duration declines to 14 months from 40 months prior to 1982. A possible explanation could be changes in the monetary mechanism influencing interest rates. In 1982, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) first referenced a targeted federal funds rate.7
