Buffett’s Latest Trades

May 16, 2017 by Jason Fieber 10 Comments

I go over Berkshire Hathaway’s latest buys and sells in their common stock portfolio each quarter, after their latest 13F is released. I’m a huge fan of Warren Buffett, as are millions of other investors around the world. And so it’s a great honor to see what he’s up to. You can see the excerpt below, which is part of a full article I wrote for Daily Trade Alert. Enjoy!

Warren Buffett’s latest trades were just revealed via Berkshire Hathaway Inc.’s (BRK.B) 13F filing, which is a filing that gives us information on all of the transactions that took place over the first quarter of 2017 — the quarter ending March 31 — in the stock portfolio managed by the legendary investor.

This filing can provide some valuable insight into where Warren Buffett thinks the best investments might lie.

Now, it might not make sense to piggyback on his trades and simply buy and/or sell whatever he has because these filings are generally released 45 days after the most recent quarter ended, but it would appear to be an intelligent move to investigate exactly where the most successful investor of all time is (and isn’t) putting his capital to work.

It’s also important to note that Buffett allows two other executives – Todd Combs and Ted Weschler – to authorize smaller transactions, so it’s difficult sometimes to decipher who bought and/or sold what.

Below, I’m going to go over every transaction and give some quick thoughts on each respective company.

      Michael,

      Glad you enjoyed it!

      I was up past three this morning getting it done, but it’s always a pleasure to put these reports together. 🙂

      Best regards.

    I found his newest picks interesting with airlines and the SIRI. The latter which feels like a penny stock to me. I have owned it in the past and sold for a small profit, but it appears to be quite range bound. I wonder what he thinks the future holds for the company.

      DD,

      SIRI is actually one of the first stocks I ever bought. I also sold for a small profit, which occurred as I transitioned into dividend growth investing. The stock was something like a buck back then, so I would have done well to hold it. But it just didn’t fit with what I was doing. I have no regrets with that, but Buffett/Berkshire has long been buying up a lot of Malone stuff.

      Cheers!

    I have to disagree with Buffett on IBM but hey he has do different things for different reason than a individual investor would.

      Scott,

      Right. What Buffett/Berkshire is doing isn’t necessarily relevant to the average investor. But I still find it pretty interesting to see what he’s up to, as it does provide plenty of food for thought. We’ll have to see if they continue to sell off IBM.

      I’m also holding IBM, though. Especially after the drop, which reduced the valuation. It’s not a blockbuster stock. But there’s still a lot to like.

      Best regards.
