Buffett SOLD...

Arigato, dear investor,

Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway just sold off its tiny holdings in VOO and SPY, and now everyone is asking—should you do the same?

Wait, Buffett Bought Index Funds?

Yes, but only a small amount. Berkshire owned $46 million worth of SPY and VOO, but that made up just 0.01% of its $270 billion portfolio.

To put that into perspective, if you had a $100,000 portfolio, this index position would be worth only $1—practically nothing.

And since index funds aren’t his preferred investment style, selling them off wasn’t a big deal for him.

But Didn’t Buffett Recommend Index Funds?

Yes! And he still does. Buffett has always said that for regular investors who don’t want to pick stocks, the best strategy is to invest in a low-cost S&P 500 index fund and let it grow over time. He even told his own family to do this when he’s no longer around!

But as an individual investor who is good at stock picking, Buffett’s focus has always been buying great businesses at good prices and holding them for decades. So broad market ETFs like VOO and SPY don’t fully align with that approach in the first place.

So, Should You Sell?

If you’re investing in VOO or SPY for the long run, Buffett’s sale doesn’t change a thing. The market moves up and down, but long-term investors win by staying consistent.

I’m keeping the majority of my holdings intact because I’m here to compound my wealth for the long term. However, in the short term, I’m also using options to optimize my returns in this volatile market—something I recently shared in detail during my monthly group coaching with my VIP students.

Most importantly, even if a bear market comes, I know my Arigato Investing Strategy can withstand the test of time and emerge even stronger, generating more profits—just like it did during past bear market crises.
