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.

Combs helps Warren Buffett manage Berkshire Hathaway's vast portfolio of stocks and other investments, and serves as CEO of Berkshire-owned Geico. He compared digging into a company to detective work, and underlined the value of having a short seller's eye when analyzing businesses. (Exploring different fields and taking risks is a great way to make your mistakes early and find your passion, Combs said.) If your dream is to make it to manager and you're perfectly fine there, that's pretty much where you're going to stop. (Berkshire doesn't short but Combs finds his short-selling skills help him identify companies' weaknesses.)

Berkshire Hathaway Chairman and CEO Warren Buffett gave Apple glowing reviews during Berkshire Hathaway's annual shareholders meeting Saturday. To be sure, Buffett clarified Berkshire doesn't have 35% of its holdings in Apple — as a questioner incorrectly believed.

Warren Buffett has inspired generations of value investors, and one 53-year-old, market-beating mutual fund has his legacy all over it. For almost three decades, starting in 1979, the fund was run by another acolyte of value, Jean-Marie Eveillard. Since 1979, First Eagle Global has returned more than 12% annually, even including the 5% load fee charged on the first $25,000 invested. The fund employs three main elements when it comes to security selection within the universe of global value, Brooker said. When we're not able to find things that make sense to us, that meet our underwriting criteria, we'll wait in cash," Brooker said.
