A longtime Warren Buffett disciple and a Berkshire shareholder since 1999, Stone's own investing style has been inspired by the "Oracle of Omaha" — a value-oriented approach with an emphasis on the so-called margin of safety. "You look at stocks, not as pieces of paper, but as businesses," he said in CNBC's latest Pro Talks . Can I possibly forecast that they'll continue to earn these profits?" Ahead of this year's "Woodstock for Capitalists" Saturday, Stone shared what he's learned from Buffett's investing philosophy and what he expects from the annual meeting without the late Charlie Munger.

That's about four times bigger than Berkshire's second-biggest public stock holding, Bank of America , and makes the company the No. The bet on Apple and CEO Tim Cook has paid off handsomely for Buffett, who said in 2022 that the cost of Berkshire's Apple stake was only $31 billion. "So I called up Warren Buffett. "It's kind of more like an annuity and I think that's what Warren Buffett really sees as well." "When I buy Apple, I know that Apple is going to repurchase a lot of shares," he said in 2018.

Berkshire Hathaway , led by legendary investor Warren Buffett, has been making a confidential wager on the financial industry since the third quarter of last year. The identity of the stock — or stocks — that Berkshire has been snapping up could be revealed Saturday at the company's annual shareholder meeting in Omaha, Nebraska. So the 93-year-old Berkshire CEO may decide to explain his rationale to the thousands of investors flocking to the gathering. The bet, shrouded in mystery, has captivated Berkshire investors since it first appeared in disclosures late last year. Under Buffett, Berkshire has trounced the S&P 500 over nearly six decades with a 19.8% compounded annual gain, compared with the 10.2% yearly rise of the index.

Trimming Apple One surprising move from the conglomerate was selling about 10 million Apple shares (just 1% of its massive stake) in the fourth quarter. Second, it could have been Buffett's investment deputies Todd Combs and Ted Weschler who trimmed the Apple stake in order to fund other purchases. There's a chance that Buffett might reveal at the annual meeting the mystery bank stock that Berkshire has been buying for two quarters straight . Berkshire now owns more than 70 million of the tracking stock. "You need higher prices, or it doesn't work," Buffett said at Berkshire's 2023 annual meeting.

Warren Buffett is a fan of buying dividend-paying stocks, but his conglomerate Berkshire Hathaway doesn't offer a payout itself, despite its tens of billions cash. But the main reason Berkshire doesn't pay a dividend is that the Oracle of Omaha has been confident in his ability to deploy capital in more profitable ways. Apple , which accounts for more than 40% of the portfolio, pays a 0.6% dividend yield. But even the hundreds of thousands of Class B, or "Baby Berkshire," shareholders voted no by 47 to 1. "I think they expect us to do whatever we think makes sense for all shareholders," Buffett said in 2023.

"Gold ... has two significant shortcomings, being neither of much use nor procreative," Buffett said in his 2011 annual letter. Meanwhile, if you own one ounce of gold for an eternity, you will still own one ounce at its end." Gold hit a new, all-time high above $2,400 an ounce on Friday, enjoying its third straight week of gains. Silver buying spree Buffett's vocal criticism of gold doesn't mean that he's never dabbled in precious metals. In the late 1990s, the Ben Graham acolyte went on a big silver buying spree, with Berkshire owning 129.7 million ounces of silver.

These portfolios are separately managed accounts of either concentrated large growth companies, small- and mid-capitalization growth names, large value companies and equity income.
