Brasil Foods reaches record stock trading after Warren Buffett invests

Poultry exporter Brasil Foods SA reached its highest stock value ever in Sao Paulo trading after Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Inc. began buying shares in the poultry company.
Brasil Foods climbed 74 centavos, or 2.6%, to 29.45 reais as of 9:37 a.m. EST. Earlier, it touched 29.98 reais, the highest since the company started trading in 1997.
