These 10 holdings make up over 90% of the Berkshire Hathaway stock portfolio. Warren Buffett only owns 2 stocks personally. Those two stocks are Wells Fargo and Coca Cola.

This is not a good list to be invested in. Berkshire Hathaway is sinking like a rock. I think Buffet has lost a lot of credibility. I wouldn’t buy anything he is investing in.

2Buffett invests for the long term. He has been burned over the short term but long term his strategy may pay off.
@Curt
3Berkshire Hathaway’s B shares are selling for about $76. They are worth closer to $100. When the dust settles from its entry into the SP500, and all the index funds have purchased their shares, we’ll see where the price is.
Forgive me — I am a novice. Where do the reinsurance and insurance businesses “fit into” his portfolio?

5Good point Jim. Berkshire has been trading over $80 per share.

6The insurance and reinsurance businesses are wholly owned subsidiaries of Berkshire Hathaway. These companies include Berkshire Hathaway Assurance, Geico, General Re and Netherlands Reassurantie Group.
Thanks for publishing this list. Your site is a life saver!
7Anyone knows a place where we can see the average price Buffett bought?
Not simply the average price on the last buys, but the average price on all his holdings?
Cheers
8That would be difficult to figure because they don’t know his exact purchase price. He only reports them once a quarter and they never report at what price he bought shares at.
9You’re welcome!
10Thank you Mark.
11That would be some useful info or what?
Keep your good work.
It really would. We could buy cheaper than Buffett. Thanks John!
12That’s interesting. I’m always trying to mirror the portfolio of Buffet’s. And now I’m working in a financial service startup enabling self-investors better manager their portfolio. I’m just curious why not input the portfolio of Buffet’s and see the outcome after the optimization module based on our company. I have input the 13 assets of Buffet’s largest hold and find there is quite a difference between the original portfolio and optimal portfolio. I cannot say which one is right and which one is wrong. Maybe I ignore something since I’m a novice.
13But, Mark, if you are interested in this, please let me know.
Yes, that sounds interesting Selina. I am interested to see what the results would be. How could I go about doing this?
