Warren Buffett remains a heavyweight on the stock market. In his latest letter to Berkshire Hathaway shareholders, he emphasizes the importance of his US holdings and shows interest in Japan. 💼
Buffett emphasizes that Berkshire holds shares in large, profitable companies such as Apple $AAPL (+0,99 %)American Express $AXP (-1,57 %), Coca-Cola $KO (+0,93 %) and Moody's $MCO (-0,79 %) . These companies generate high returns on the capital invested. At the end of the year, these investments were worth a total of USD 272 billion.
One exciting point is his strategy of buying shares when others are selling. Buffett emphasizes that it is rare for exceptional companies to be completely for sale. But fractions of these "treasures" can be bought on Wall Street from Monday to Friday.
With regard to Japan, Berkshire has increased its investments in this market. This shows that Buffett is also taking advantage of international opportunities to diversify his portfolio. Berkshire's current cash position is an impressive USD 334 billion. This means that Buffett remains one of the most influential investors in the world.
