Berkshire Hathaway disclosed its latest purchases of 3.67 million shares in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Berkshire has been steadily buying Occidental shares since last February when the price dips below $60 apiece. Occidental shares gained more than 3% Tuesday to sell for $61.61 after Berkshire’s latest purchases were revealed.
