Warren Buffett’s Investing Secret

75% of Warren Buffett’s Portfolio is Tied Up in Five Stocks

Be fearful when others are greedy. Be greedy when others are fearful.

- Warren Buffett

I have taken this advice to heart time and again in my short journey of investing. Every time we have a dip, I buy more stock. I double-check when things are good or everyone is all about an easy win before getting excited.

This has kept me going in times when people are panicking. And it has kept me smart when markets are healthy. The other thing I have been making sure I do is to learn from someone who has amassed a lot of wealth in the market.

So, I keep track of what some people are doing in the markets. And not traders, but investors. Today, I want to share some stocks in Warren Buffett’s portfolio with you.

Apple (AAPL) 40.07%

We all know Apple. Chances are you are reading this on an iPhone, iPad, or MacBook. Apple has taken the world by storm and many of us can’t wait for the next big innovation.

Bank of America (BAC) 14.45%

This bank is all over the United States and very few people don’t know them. This is another reason why this makes so much sense that Buffett would have this in his portfolio.

American Express (AXP) 7.92%

We have heard all about the American Express card. This credit card company has a huge place in its portfolio and will likely continue to do well. The banking, credit system is not likely going to change any time soon, so it’s no surprise that his portfolio is weighted with this one.

Coca-Cola (KO) 7.79%

They are not simply a soda company. This is a company that has bottled water, Powerade, and Coke products, and has interests in other areas. Because of this, they have created diversification in their brand to be lasting.

Kraft Heinz Co (KHC) 4.81%

Cheese, Ketchup, Mustard, Coffee, Jell-O, the list goes on and on. There are so many everyday consumer goods that fall under Kraft Heinz that it makes sense that they get a larger section of Buffett’s portfolio.

Final Thoughts

These five stocks make up 75.04% of Warren Buffett’s portfolio. Not much for diversification here. Yet, he is making tons of money off of these stocks and their dividends.

Now, I am not suggesting that you go and YOLO all your money into these three stocks. His total portfolio has 46 holdings. While 41 holdings make up 25% of his portfolio it goes to show that he is gathering more holdings in his portfolio.
