Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Steve Symington]

  What kinds of "things," you ask? Among her additional tasks so far have been the creation and arranging of ameeting aimed at bringing Berkshire's dozens upon dozens of subsidiary CEOs together each year, and Buffett reportedly sent her on a trip to Brazil to learn more about the operations of Brazilian-based 3G Capital after Berkshire teamed with the firm to acquire 50% of ketchup king H.J. Heinz back (NYSE: HNZ  ) in February.

• [By Rich Duprey]

  Ketchup maker H.J. Heinz (NYSE: HNZ  ) has received all regulatory approvals necessary for the $28 billion acquisition by Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK-B  ) and an investment fund affiliated with 3G Capital, and plans for the deal to close on or about June 7, the company announced today.

  McGraw-Hill Financial's (NYSE: MHFI  ) S&P Dow Jones Indices has brought in a pair of big-name stocks to replace issues on two of its signature products. After the close of trading on June 6, both the S&P 100 and the 500 will be home to General Motors (N! YSE: GM  ) . The stock replaces Heinz (NYSE: HNZ  ) , which was recently acquired by a consortium led by Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK-B  ) .

• [By Matt Koppenheffer]

  But despite the 50% stake in a joint venture to buy H. J. Heinz (NYSE: HNZ  ) , which was announced recently, Berkshire's cash pile is building up again. I was hoping to hear Buffett say, "We've just bagged another "elephant."
