Berkshire buys Teva, bites more Apple, feels IBM blues

Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Inc on Wednesday said it has taken a new stake in Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd, significantly boosted its holdings of Apple Inc and has nearly shed a less successful investment in IBM Corp.

In a regulatory filing detailing its U.S.-listed stock holdings as of Dec. 31, Berkshire reported owning about 18.9 million of the American depositary receipts in Teva, one of the world's largest generic drug makers, worth about $358 million.

Teva's share price rose more than 10 percent after Berkshire reported its ownership stake.
