Is the Downturn a Good Time to Revisit Buffett's Wisdom?

As markets stumble and uncertainty grips the global economy, Berkshire Hathaway quietly sits on a war chest of $334 billion in cash—the largest in its history. While headlines scream panic and portfolios bleed red, Warren Buffett remains unshaken. The Oracle of Omaha has lived through more crashes, bubbles, and bear markets than most investors have even read about, and he’s often emerged stronger on the other side. So, in times like these, is there a better compass than Buffett’s timeless wisdom? One of my favorite quotes from Buffett is: "You’ve got to be prepared, when you buy a stock, to have it go down 50% — or more — and be comfortable with it, as long as you’re comfortable with the holding." This mindset has been my anchor. When I buy stocks or ETFs, I do so with the understanding th

As Berkshire Hathaway’s 2025 annual meeting captures headlines once again, the timeless debate reignites: is value investing still the golden rule for retail investors? On one hand, Berkshire’s steady success reminds the world that fundamentals, patience, and margin of safety still matter — even in a fast-moving, tech-driven market. In a world where AI stocks, meme rallies, and flash crashes dominate the news, Warren Buffett’s philosophy of buying strong companies at reasonable prices continues to prove its worth. But 2025 isn’t 1995. Retail investors today operate in a landscape filled with algorithmic trading, instant news cycles, and extreme sentiment swings. Growth sectors, particularly in AI, cloud computing, and semiconductors, are moving faster than traditional valuation models can

All due to one news.  Warren Buffett will step down as CEO at the end of 2025. While this marks the end of an era, it also opens discussions on the company's future under new leadership. 🧠 Assessing the Investment Opportunity Pros: Strong Fundamentals: Berkshire Hathaway boasts a diverse portfolio and substantial cash reserves, providing a solid foundation for future growth. Experienced Successor: Greg Abel, Buffett's chosen successor, has been with the company since 2000 and has overseen significant operations, suggesting a smooth leadership transition . Cons: Leadership Uncertainty: Despite Abel's experience, investors may remain cautious until they observe his performance as CEO.

Berkshire Hathaway Shares Tumble 6% as End of Buffett Era Nears $Berkshire Hathaway(BRK.B)$   shares tumbled more than 6% Monday, approaching its worst loss since 2020 after CEO Warren Buffett announced Saturday that he is stepping down by year-end, paving the way for vice chairman Greg Abel to take the helm at the conglomerate he led for six decades and turned into a $1.1 trillion company.  Just as Buffett predicted, the board voted unanimously on Sunday to make Abel president and CEO on Jan. 1, 2026. Buffett, now 94 years old, will stay on as chairman, CNBC reported Monday.  While Buffett said during the company's annual shareholders meeting over the weekend that he will still be around and "ca

I believe Buffett’s approach still holds strong relevance, even in today’s fast-moving market. His focus on patience, discipline, and compounding remains timeless. While technology and AI have changed how markets behave, the core idea of buying great businesses at reasonable prices and holding them long-term is more important than ever. Emotional resilience, which Buffett champions, is crucial when volatility hits. That said, retail investors should stay flexible. Buffett himself is adjusting — cutting equity exposure and stacking up Treasuries to prioritize safety and liquidity. This shows that while the principles stay the same, their application can evolve with the times. A balanced strategy — some defensive positions and selective investments — feels wise right now.

🌟🌟🌟According to TigerAI, Warren Buffett matches my style as I have a long term horizon and medium appetite for risk.  I wish TigerAI can transport me like in Star Trek to attend Berkshire Hathaway's AGM on May 3 to meet my favourite investing guru Warren Buffett.   At 94 years ago, he is a shining example of how to age gracefully.  I would love to learn from Warren Buffett first hand how to be a better investor in value investing. May Warren Buffett continue to share his innate wisdom with all of us for many years to come.  Long Live Warren Buffett 🥰🥰🥰🌈🌈🌈💰💰💰 @TigerEvents @TigerStars @Tiger_comments
"Mr Buffett’s decision to withdraw from the stock market has so far benefited Berkshire. The firm’s stock is up by 20 per cent in 2025, while the S&P 500 is down by 3 per cent. Now Mr Buffett and Mr Abel need to figure out what to do with their enormous pile of cash. There are worse problems to have, but Berkshire’s position reflects a tough environment for the sort of investing that made Mr Buffett famous. Lately, he has griped that there is not much out there to buy at a reasonable price. Even after the recent market tumult, valuations of listed companies are high relative to their historical levels." Taking note the Mr.Buffett feels there is historically high over valuation in the market now.

Buffet is right most of the time but not always. He previously sold off Apple and missed out a huge amount of profit when it rallied. I think retail investors should have a healthy amount of portfolio in cash to deploy. Treasuries require a holding period that can cause one to miss out when market quickly rebounds. We can’t always buy at the bottom or sell at the top but should be nimble enough to at least profit from the the rebounds. In recent years, market dips have been short lived as the government manipulates it by pumping cash during the covid years and rate cuts/increase with trump comments that have swung the market quickly. I think value investing is still important as that will likely give the best bang for buck with higher chances of the stock prices taking off when market cond
Buffett stated that he has no plans to sell his shares in Japan’s five major trading houses for a long time, noting that these companies have an excellent track record. Berkshire Hathaway will also continue to strengthen its ties with Japanese companies, with approximately $20 billion already invested in Japan.In the next 50 years, we won’t give a thought to selling those.Buffett’s designated successor, Greg Abel, said they envision holding the stocks of the Japanese trading companies for at least 50 years—or possibly forever.
The successor has been workimg alongside Mr Buffett and Mr Munger for quite some time and probably understood their thinking. Plus Mr Buffet would have observed his successor closely before making the decision. His decision not to sell his holdings also show his trust on his successor. Well, who know he will do it later but as for now, the confident is high and Mf Buffet said his successor will do better than him, wow, thats a great compliment to his new successor. Hope all the best for his retirement and may Berkshire continue to thrive.
