巴菲特2024年展现一贯的谨慎作风，选在牛市热潮中大举减码股票，尤其是卖出大量苹果持股。今年来，前10大富豪中，只有他今年资产实现正增长，其余9人则因科技股重挫而财富缩水。On May 3, Beijing time, the annual investment gala for global investors - the 2025 Berkshire Hathaway Shareholders' Meeting will grandly kick off.
Since 2025, the US stock market has performed poorly, with Tech stocks suffering heavy losses; meanwhile, Berkshire Hathaway's $Berkshire Hathaway-A (BRK.A.US)$ stock price reached a historic high, once breaking the 0.8 million dollar mark. This milestone event has not only attracted the attention of global investors but also once again brought "stock god" Buffett's investment wisdom into the spotlight.
As the shareholders' meeting opens, let's revisit how stock god Buffett has resisted this significant decline in the US stock market and calmly dealt with the impact of tariffs.
1. Global billionaires have seen their fortunes shrink significantly, while the stock god has made a profit of 20 billion dollars against the trend.
In 2024, Buffett exhibited his usual cautious style, opting to significantly reduce his stock positions amid the bull market frenzy, especially selling off a large amount of Apple holdings. This year, among the top 10 billionaires, only he has seen positive asset growth while the other nine have seen their wealth shrink due to the heavy losses in Tech stocks.
2. Successfully withstanding the decline of the US stock market! What is Buffett's secret?
Three, in 2024, the stock guru has reduced holdings against the market trend! Successfully avoided this crisis in the USA stock market.
As early as the shareholders meeting held in May 2024, Buffett mentioned that there are currently not enough attractive companies suitable for investment, reflecting concerns about the high valuation of the USA stock market.
Before the market turbulence caused by Trump's tariffs, Buffett had quietly adjusted his investment portfolio and adopted an unusually cautious defensive layout in the second half of 2024. In March 2025, Buffett stated in an interview with CBS that Trump's tariffs are "an act of war" and mentioned the negative experiences the USA has faced regarding tariffs in the past.
Four, the stock guru holds a huge amount of Cash! Berkshire's stock price has repeatedly hit new highs, with one share reaching 0.8 million.
By the end of 2024, Berkshire's cash reserves exceeded 330 billion USD, setting a historical high, significantly increased compared to over 160 billion USD at the end of 2023. Sufficient cash reserves reduce the risk of short-term market fluctuations facing the investment portfolio while also preparing for future investment opportunities.
Five, Buffett's Q4 Hold Positions dynamics: Apple remains the top holding, while the liquor giant has become a new favorite.
According to Founder Securities, before 2011, Buffett concentrated his industry allocation in finance and daily Consumer, and after 2011, Buffett gradually entered investments in Technology, forming a scenario of a "tripartite balance" between Technology, finance, and Consumer.
By the end of 2024, Buffett significantly reduced his Hold Positions. $Apple (AAPL.US)$ The Financial Industry's Hold Positions have once again surpassed those of the Technology Industry. Currently, Berkshire Hathaway-A's secondary market Hold Positions exhibit an industry allocation pattern of 'two superpowers' in Finance and Technology, while 'two strongholds' in Consumer and Energy coexist.
