Was thinking the same thing. About a third of BRK is owned by him yet in this graph his ownership in BRK is zero.

This is a graph of what BH owns not who owns BH. The title of the graph is wrong its not WB portfolio but BH portfolio.

Why are you copy pasting the (incorrect) comment above? Some redditors are bizarre

These are the stock holdings in the BRK portfolio. They also own many other businesses outright that aren’t traded.

What I love about his investing is that there's no big games. No short positions (at least that I can see) or shit like that.

He's into fundamentals of if a company will be profitable.

And then holds for an eternity.

There's got to be a lesson in that.

Except for Apple, where someone made the decision for him and it massively drove Berkshire returns for a decade plus.

I guess you don't have to short when you made your billions gutting companies that were upside down.

I mean sure if you’ve got decent starting capital and don’t mind getting not much returns for a long time.

That's his advice to the common man. He is active in company decision making and partners with Bain Capital on some major deals.

He likes to invest in companies with market power. Which are bad for the economy.

Good for me, I own some of those!

Bad for me, my "portfolio" is about 1/10,000,000th of his.

Park extra cash in the index and let it accumulate until he finds another deal

Keep in mind he’s getting dividends and they need to go somewhere until he finds a buying opportunity

It looks like BH buys brands more than companies

ggrandeurr t1_isaih1f wrote

He’s been doing this since the 1950s, some of these didn’t become brands until later.

Also, he’s buy big name brands when they were cheap. For example, coca cola stock tanked in the 1980s when new coke was introduced, Buffet gobbled up as much coca cola stock at the time while it was cheap, then everyone forgot about new coke and the stock recovered and Buffet walked away with big time $$$

He has an incredible amount of money, but he's 92 years old already.

He's gonna die soon unless some treatments for aging get developed fast.

That's his only chance, I wonder why isn't he investing his money in that, he will lose everything he worked for soon...

.003% of it is still 10x more money than most people see in their entire lives. This amount of financial manipulation consolidates wealth further making it even harder for the working class.

ggrandeurr t1_isajkiy wrote

This doesn’t include the $100-140 billion that BRK is currently holding in cash, which would put it at #1 or #2 spot on the portfolio.
