Warren Buffett Could Have Bought Any of 60 Nasdaq 100 Companies With $71 Billion. Instead, He Piled It All Into 1 Stock.
For nearly six decades as CEO of conglomerate Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.A)(NYSE: BRK.B), Warren Buffett has been dazzling Wall Street with his investing prowess. Although Buffett is fallible just like the rest of us, he's overseen a greater than 4,200,000% aggregate return in his company's Class A shares (BRK.A) since taking over Berkshire Hathaway in the mid-1960s. Meanwhile, the benchmark S 500 hasn't even reached a cumulative 30,000% total return, including dividends, over the same stretch.
Given the Oracle of Omaha's affinity for generating long-term profits, professional and everyday investors often track his buying and selling activity like hawks. Thankfully, Form 13 filings make mirroring Buffett's trades relatively simple.
A 13F is a required quarterly filing by money managers with at least $100 million in assets under management. It's effectively a snapshot that allows investors to see what Wall Street's smartest investors have been buying and selling in the most recent quarter.
