Our team members at Vested may own investments in some of the aforementioned companies/assets. The markets always reward an investor who believes in a stock and holds it for the long term. One investment lesson we can thus learn from Warren Buffett is that one should invest with a long-term view. Also, as he mentioned in the shareholder letter 1990, ‘With Wells Fargo, we think we have obtained the best managers in the business.’ Once invested, he lets the management teams take care of a business over the long term. He invested in Wells Fargo because he believed it was a strong company at a good value. However, Well’s Fargo remains one of Buffett’s most successful long-term investments. Why did he do this? A fake accounts scandal and regulatory sanctions. In May 2021, he divested almost all of his stake in the company, owning just $26 million worth shares in the company as of 31 March 2021. As recently as 2017 he held a 10% stake in the company with a holding of more than $29 billion. Buffett began investing in the stock in 1989 and invested $12.7 billion in the company. While Buffett believes in long-term investment stocks, he does sell off a stock and decrease his holdings in a company when he sees a valid reason. A case in point would be Wells Fargo & Company ( WFC). In fact, when we own portions of outstanding businesses with outstanding managements, our favorite holding period is forever.†Wells Fargo We expect to hold these securities for a long time. In the Berkshire Hathaway Chairman’s Letter to Shareholders of 1988, it is said, “In 1988 we made major purchases of Federal Home Loan Mortgage … and Coca Cola.
Buffett’s bet with Coca-Cola was then considered risky, but he believed in the long-term growth potential of the company. But Buffett believed in the fundamentals of the company and realized that it offered good value and had a strong brand. Interestingly, Coca-Cola was hard hit in the stock market crash of 1987. Also, he earned $672 million in dividends from Coca-Cola last year. The stock has registered a gain of over 2000% since then and was his 4th largest holding in December 2021, valued at $21.6 billion.
This was equivalent to 6.2% of the company at that time. He drinks 5 12-ounce servings of Coca-Cola daily and famously told Fortune in 2015, “I am one-quarter Coke.†When it comes to his investments, he bought $1 billion worth of Coca-Cola stocks in 1988 and has held on to it for over 30 years, making it the stock that he has held for the longest time. Warren Buffett’s love for Coca-Cola ( KO) goes beyond his investments in it. When asked if he thought that the iPhone was overpriced, he said that he believed that it was ‘enormously underpriced.’ Bank of America “I focus on the … hundreds, hundreds, hundreds millions of people who practically live their lives by it. In an interview with CNBC, he said, “I do not focus on the sales in the next quarter or the next year,†he said. This is in line with his strategy to pick long-term investment stocks. Also, he earns a staggering average annual dividend of $ 775 million from Apple!īuffett invested in Apple because he believed in the power of the brand and its ecosystem and not due to its short-term financial results. His Apple holding now constitutes more than 40% of his equity portfolio. His investment in Apple is now worth over $160 billion as Apple became the first company to hit the $ 3 trillion market cap. He acquired 887 million shares of Apple in the next two years to own a 5.4% stake in the company. Buffett, who had avoided investing in tech stocks for 95% of his career, started buying Apple ( AAPL) stocks in 2016.
