I too was surprised..
That is true, but also quite misleading. Buffet barely invested in the S&P500 funds. He just bought the stocks directly and avoided management fees.

Despite this recent data, it's inaccurate to say that Warren Buffet is now going against his previous advice to investors to bet on the American economy with an index fund. S&P 500 index funds accounted for less than 0.02% of Berkshire's portfolio in the third quarter of 2024, meaning that fund sales can hardly be considered a statement about the overall economy.

This is especially true when you consider that Berkshire's portfolio contains many of the same stocks that make up major S&P 500 indexes. Shares of Amazon.com (NASDAQ: AMZN), Kraft Heinz (NASDAQ: KHC), Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO) and Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) all remain top holdings in Berkshire Hathaway's portfolio while also making up major portions of the index.

The S&P is always good however some like to sell to lock in profits and gradually buy back in as the market goes lower

Nevertheless the main factor for selling when is uncertainty in American markets IMO.

The US stability premium is gone. It’s going to take a much bigger drop than what we’ve seen so far for me to turn back on my US equity buys. I could spend the next four years only buying international equities without my allocations going out of whack.

$30 million in Tesla is diddle squat. SpaceX is privately held so how would one invest in it and how would we know if they did?

Which national park name best describes the current market?
As we are now only 0.1% away from a correction for the S&P 500, many national parks come to mind.

Grand Felon NP
Denial NP and Preserve
Gates of the Hell NP and Preserve
Cratered Stake NP
Olympic Fail NP
Dry Heave NP
Big Scam NP
Black Tuesday the Gunnison NP
Great Depression NP

Don't worry guys. The whole tariffs thing will work out in the end. Plus we get to buy cheap stock for the next 3.8 years.

We haven't had a really good economic depression lasting 4 years since the ultra protectionist 1920's and 30's..

Im guessing you all have forgotten the late 2000 to 2002 stock market. After the internet bubble crashed, the Nasdaq was flat for those years with no real progress.

We also had 911 during that period that did not help.

Pepperidge Farm remembers and so do I.

Sure, those things happened, but that's very different than someone playing with tariffs and other economic destruction buttons like they're a 2 year old who discovered a light switch.
