Dearest readers, it seems the Oracle of Omaha, the illustrious Warren Buffett, is preparing to take his final bow with a rather grand gesture. Yes, he has allocated a staggering $196.7 billion to a select few assets, as he readies himself to step down from his throne at Berkshire Hathaway. 🎩✨
After a legendary 60-year tenure, Buffett, the man who has made more money than you can shake a stick at, is planning to end his reign at the end of 2025. But not before he places more than 70% of the firm’s assets into just seven stocks. Quite the swan song, wouldn’t you say? 🦢🎶
These stocks, oh so carefully chosen, reflect Buffett’s time-honored method of handpicking assets for their resilience and consumer appeal. And, of course, Berkshire continues to hoard a rather impressive $347.7 billion in cash. Just in case, you know, the world ends or something. 🌍💥
So, without further ado, let’s take a peek at where the great man is placing his bets before the curtains on his legendary career close. 🎬：
- Apple ($58.9 billion allocated): Apple, the tech giant that has been Berkshire’s top holding, though Buffett has sold more than half of the firm’s stake since 2023. Perhaps he’s decided that even tech titans need a bit of pruning. 🍏🛠️
- American Express ($43.6 billion allocated): A bet on the financial giant’s premium customer base and payment network. After all, who doesn’t love a bit of luxury? 🎩💳
- Coca-Cola ($28.4 billion allocated): A longtime Buffett favorite, with global brand recognition and consistent dividends. It’s like investing in the world’s favorite fizzy drink. 🥤🌍
- Bank of America ($27.8 billion allocated): A top holding, despite Buffett significantly trimming his stake and reducing bank investments overall. Sometimes, even the Oracle needs to diversify. 🏦🔄
- Chevron ($17.3 billion allocated): An energy giant offering strong dividends, aligning with Buffett’s love for reliable cash flows. It’s all about the steady stream, my dear. 🛢️💸
- Occidental Petroleum ($12.3 billion allocated): Buffett’s longstanding bet on energy continues with this oil and gas leader. Some things never change, do they? 🌵🔥
- Kraft Heinz ($8.4 billion allocated): Another consumer goods giant and longtime Buffett favorite. Because who doesn’t love a good ketchup? 🍅🎉
Buffett has selected Greg Abel to be his successor next year, entrusting him to continue Berkshire’s legacy of prudent investing and long-term value creation. Here’s to hoping the baton is passed with as much grace and success as the Oracle himself. 🎉,
