Buffett stated that he has no plans to sell his shares in Japan’s five major trading houses for a long time. -------- Will you buy the dip as the stock falls? Or stay away as the future is uncertain?

It's statistically interesting that he was successful for so long. He should have failed more often going by the odds. Well wish him bob voyage! 
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.

Value investing isn't a "golden rule" for investing, but it's a time-tested strategy that prioritizes buying undervalued assets with strong fundamentals, expecting their market price to eventually reflect their intrinsic value. It contrasts with growth investing, which focuses on companies with high potential for future earnings growth, often at premium valuations. Neither is inherently superior; their effectiveness depends on market conditions, investor goals, and time horizons. Historical Context and Performance Value Investing (pioneered by Benjamin Graham and popularized by Warren Buffett): Emphasizes buying stocks trading below their intrinsic value, often measured by metrics like low price-to-earnings (P/E), price-to-book (P/B), or high dividend yields.

Berkshire Hathaway has reduced US equity exposure and effectively avoided the market crash. It deployed over $300 billion in U.S. short-term government bonds which were classified as cash equivalents. Berkshire now controls nearly 5% of the entire US Treasury bill market — more than the Federal Reserve’s holdings of similar securities. This gives Berkshire immense influence over the bonds market. Berkshire’s strategy is now prioritizing safety and liquidity. Retail investors can follow its strategy while still keep value investing for long-term investment growth. Buffett actually still keep vast wealth in stocks like AMEX, AAPL, Chevron and Coca-Cola.Thanks @Tiger_comments @icycrysta
