Warren Buffett Keeps 67% of Berkshire's $263 Billion Stock Portfolio in Just 5 Companies
Five stocks carry two-thirds of the famed investor's portfolio. That's no accident.
Overview
Warren Buffett has never believed in owning a little bit of everything. Berkshire Hathaway's (NYSE: BRKA)(NYSE: BRKB) latest 13F filing shows just how far the famed investor leans the other way. Of a $263 billion U.S. stock portfolio, about 67% (more than two-thirds) sits in just five companies.
And that concentration isn't a quirk of one quarter. It's how the Oracle of Omaha has run Berkshire's money for decades, and he has been unusually direct about why. Here's a closer look at where the money sits, why Buffett runs the portfolio this way, and what everyday investors should (and shouldn't) take from it.
