Buffett

🔥Legendary investor Warren Buffett, dubbed the greatest by Google, didn’t seize the Q1 2025 market dip. Instead, he sold $4.7B in stocks, mostly banks, while buying only $3.2B, per Berkshire Hathaway’s latest 13F filing.
🏦Buffett cut Bank of America by 7.2%, trimmed Capital One by 4%, and ditched Citigroup entirely. No new stocks were added, but he doubled down on Constellation Brands
🍺and Pool Corp.🏊‍♂️. Apple, Berkshire’s top holding at $66.6B, stayed untouched.
🍎At Berkshire’s May 2 meeting, Buffett praised Apple’s Tim Cook and dropped a bombshell: he’s stepping down as CEO by year-end, citing age (94). Greg Abel will take over, with Buffett remaining chairman.
👋Despite a 12% S&P 500 plunge, Buffett saw no buying opportunity, keeping Berkshire’s cash pile at a record $333B.
💸Berkshire’s Class B shares are up 12% YTD, outpacing the S&P’s 0.6%.
📈Investors watch Buffett’s moves closely, but this quarter, he sold, stayed quiet, and prepped for transition. Berkshire, now worth $1.1T, remains a global powerhouse.

#RobertKiyosaki , the renowned author of 𝐑𝐢𝐜𝐡 𝐃𝐚𝐝 𝐏𝐨𝐨𝐫 𝐃𝐚𝐝 , recently took to X (formerly Twitter) to refute the critical views on Bitcoin expressed by 𝐖𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐧 𝐁𝐮𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐭𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐢𝐞 𝐌𝐮𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫. 𝐊𝐢𝐲𝐨𝐬𝐚𝐤𝐢 asserted that their opinions, though influential on Wall Street, hold little relevance in the crypto space. Highlighting their longstanding anti-Bitcoin stance, he argued that age and wealth should not overshadow an understanding of Bitcoin's potential.

𝐁𝐮𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐭𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐌𝐮𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫 have consistently criticized Bitcoin, labeling it a speculative asset with no intrinsic value. Buffett, in a 𝟐𝟎𝟏𝟖 interview, dismissed the cryptocurrency as nothing more than an asset driven by speculation, famously calling it a “𝐫𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠.” During Berkshire Hathaway's 2022 annual meeting, he reinforced his opposition, saying he wouldn’t accept all the Bitcoin in the world for $25, as it serves no productive purpose. Similarly, Munger has described Bitcoin as “𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐥” and “𝐜𝐫𝐲𝐩𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐭,” citing concerns over its potential to destabilize the U.S. financial system.

𝐊𝐢𝐲𝐨𝐬𝐚𝐤𝐢 , on the other hand, highlighted the importance of understanding Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies before forming opinions about them. He credited Bitcoin for significantly contributing to his financial success and questioned the relevance of 𝐁𝐮𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐭𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐌𝐮𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫’s perspectives, stating, “𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐈 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐁𝐢𝐭𝐜𝐨𝐢𝐧?”His stance reflects a broader endorsement of direct investment in Bitcoin over traditional financial instruments like exchange-traded funds (𝐄𝐓𝐅𝐬).

Furthermore, 𝐊𝐢𝐲𝐨𝐬𝐚𝐤𝐢 made a bold prediction, forecasting Bitcoin's price to skyrocket to $𝟑𝟓𝟎,𝟎𝟎𝟎 𝐛𝐲 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓. He attributed this optimism to strong institutional interest and recent moves by investment firms like 𝐁𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐑𝐨𝐜𝐤. Kiyosaki believes these institutions are strategically suppressing Bitcoin's price to accumulate it at lower levels before its value surges. In contrast to skeptics like 𝐉𝐏𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐧 𝐂𝐄𝐎 𝐉𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐞 𝐃𝐢𝐦𝐨𝐧, who has labeled Bitcoin a “𝐟𝐫𝐚𝐮𝐝” and a “𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐳𝐞𝐝 𝐏𝐨𝐧𝐳𝐢 𝐬𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐦𝐞,” Kiyosaki emphasized the advantages of holding Bitcoin in a digital wallet, advocating for its direct and decentralized nature over traditional financial mediation.

Warren Buffett says market volatility isn’t worth panicking #Pancake over. Here’s what that means for IT investors and how long-term thinking can reshape your tech portfolio in 2025.

Don’t Panic: What Warren Buffett’s Calm Approach Means for IT Investors in 2025

In a year where AI breakthroughs, cybersecurity threats, and tech layoffs are making headlines, it’s tempting for IT investors to react emotionally to every market dip. But according to Warren Buffett, that’s exactly what not to do.

#peybook At Berkshire Hathaway’s 2025 Annual Meeting in Omaha, Buffett told investors that the recent market volatility—including the S&P 500’s brief plunge into bear territory—isn’t “anything worth panicking about.” He described the fluctuations as “nothing,” especially compared to historic crashes.#buffett

That advice is golden for #IT professionals and investors navigating a sector known for high beta and hype-driven booms and busts.

1. Market Volatility Isn’t a Signal—It’s Just Noise
From tech IPOs to massive cloud stock corrections, the IT sector has seen its fair share of drama. But Buffett’s reminder is simple: even Berkshire Hathaway’s stock has dropped 50% three times—none due to broken fundamentals. For tech investors, this means separating temporary fear from true failure.
Actionable Tip:

When evaluating tech stocks, don’t overreact to short-term headlines. Focus on metrics like product-market fit, recurring revenue (ARR), and moat-building through innovation.
2. Adopt a Long-Term Philosophy for Tech Investing

Buffett dropped a gem for modern investors:

“If it makes a difference to you whether your stocks are down 15% or not, you need a different investment philosophy.”
This mindset is critical for those investing in IT infrastructure, software-as-a-service (SaaS), and emerging tech like blockchain and AI. Market sentiment can swing violently, but real adoption curves take time.
Actionable Tip:

Hold tech investments with a 5–10 year horizon. Bet on innovation, not immediate returns.
3. Don’t Let Emotions Disrupt Your IT Strategy
Buffett urged investors to “check emotions at the door.” This advice is particularly relevant in IT, where FOMO (fear of missing out) and speculative hype (especially in crypto, AI tokens, and DeFi) can lead to bad decisions.

Actionable Tip:

Establish and stick to a data-driven investment framework. Use fundamentals, not feelings, to allocate capital across IT subsectors like cybersecurity, data analytics, and cloud computing.

4. Beware of Geopolitics and Protectionism in Tech

Buffett also criticized recent tariff-heavy policies, warning they could backfire. For IT investors, this matters deeply—especially with ongoing U.S.-China tensions impacting semiconductor supply chains, rare earth materials, and global cloud infrastructure.
Actionable Tip:

Diversify IT investments geographically. Consider exposure to non-U.S. tech companies innovating in India, Europe, and Southeast Asia.
5. Cash Is a Strategy—Not a Weakness
Berkshire ended Q1 2025 with $347 billion in cash. For tech investors, this signals that holding cash isn’t bearish—it’s strategic. In uncertain times, liquidity gives you optionality.
Actionable Tip:

Build a “dry powder” fund to deploy when IT stocks dip unjustifiably. Look for undervalued SaaS, cloud, and AI firms with strong balance sheets.

Final Thoughts: Follow Logic, Not Headlines

Warren Buffett may not be an IT expert, but his investing wisdom applies universally—especially in a sector driven by disruption. The takeaway? Market swings are inevitable. Emotional reactions don’t need to be.
As we head deeper into 2025, long-term clarity, not short-term comfort, will define winning strategies in IT investing.
