Warren Buffett Just Gave Investors a 10-Word Warning About the Stock Market. History Shows That He's Probably Right.

Overview

Warren Buffett is no longer a net seller of stocks. For 14 consecutive quarters, he sold more shares of companies than he bought for Berkshire Hathaway's (NYSE:BRKA) (NYSE:BRKB) portfolio.
