Berkshire also scooped up 5 million shares of Sirius XM (NASDAQ:SIRI) for $113 million and added 234,000 VeriSign (NASDAQ:VRSN) shares for $45 million. Sirius XM has been hammered, down 62% this year, but Berkshire now controls 35% of the satellite radio company, betting on a turnaround after Liberty Media's restructuring this fall. VeriSign, a steady performer in Berkshire's portfolio since 2013, had a quieter year, underperforming the tech sector, but its role as a domain registry powerhouse keeps it firmly in the fold.\nFor investors, this is classic Buffett: zigging when others zag.
