This is the best dissection of Buffets sell off I’ve watched. No hyperbole or infantilising your viewers with click bait BS. I actually learned something! Keep up the great content!👍

[NayNay-yt]

if the news is accurate selling billions of stocks by this time is a market manipulation tactics because as you can see it's month end, so i advise you get a consultant whom predicts when stocks will long or short on time.

[Bmatorff]

Correct me if I am wrong. But isn’t he holding all that liquidity in Berkshire. People have said he is selling due to his age and passing the torch. But they have accountability to shareholders so just increasing “cash” positions can’t be just for a sentimental reason. He’s making an investment move.

[Dafarnakis]

He is 94 years old. Not much time left

[Allen-L-Canada]

He is selling also because he is executing his succession plan at Berkshire. One indicator is that WSJ is reporting that he has made his will public.

If buffet selling, then Is this a good time to buy stocks? I know everyone is saying stocks are at a discount and all but just how long will It take to recover or am I better off putting my money elsewhere. I need a lot as rent, inflation alone eat up almost all of what I make with dependents and other obligations included. Tbh it's an uncertain year for me.

[robertprice]

There may be a case for just stating the obvious. Buffett is probably putting a massive bet on a significant market correction in the next one to three years that would make returns on future cash deployed better than holding stocks at current values.

The big man did say 90% is going into an S&P 500 trust when he pops it.

[michaelswami]

His explanation sounds to me to be precisely market timing.

[pathflight]

Critical line at 930. Recession as indicated by yield curve, rates go down, bond price up, buy stocks

[jafferahamed]

If you want to get rich buy stocks when stock market crashes. When it bounces back you would atleast made 9× return.

3rd video of yours I've watched. You got me to subscribe with it

I think that buffet is selling because of the current economic uncertainty, tax situation, and the dominance of AAPL, but also if you take into account has November letter, it seems pretty obvious that he is planning on being very likely to die in the next few years and he probably doesn’t want his own death to tank the value of his estate or BRK. It just makes sense.

[kevingoedecke]

Trump said he would not increase the corp tax rate, I guess Buffet bet on Harris winning.

[ismailjankara]

Your people deep dives from Peter Lynch to Li Lu is very interesting. Please keep it up. I was wondering if you were thinking about inviting guests to your podcast. Also, greetings from Türkiye.

[polmarchal]

You have no idea - he doesn’t like apple’s dependence on potential tariffs

[outlookoff]

Brilliant video. Great work. Nicely done. In late 40s. Finance profession.

[auwz]

He knows the business cycle and he knows Apple is a mature company now, he is taking his profits. I have zero doubt he will be looking for early cycle businesses to invest into in order to try and find that next 500%+ company. He also knows that the market cycles and that if he cant find that next great company he will just buy AAPL and others back at a cheaper price.

[debrajdas]

I appreciate the way you explained the topic. It was really informative. But, in the end it sounded more like an elaborate advertisement for that app or website thing you were trying to sell. It was very distracting.

[ericmerkel]

You're the first guy ive heard mention that they are not holding cash but bonds
