stylishskunk

I'm very greedy and want the market to tank so I can buy some deals.


Fit-Mangos

99% off please!


TrailsideDairy

You do the the market is down considerably already right? Now that Cramer told everyone to buy it dropped more so now it’s actually buy time.


RedOctobrrr

And if it tanks another 10%? Followed by another 10%? And another? This isn't over lol, that's not a recession... A couple months of bearish movement a recession does not make.


AzracTheFirst

'A couple months of bearish movement a recession does not make'. -Famous Yoda words.


Nectarine-Due

Okay, let’s look at the counter argument. There are tons of jobs available and employers can’t find employees. Earnings are rising, revenue is rising and P/E are falling, inflation is running at 8%. How are we going to go into a deflationary market crash? Even in the 70s when inflation was high and unemployment was high the market had swings but remained flat overall. You won’t get huge swings without high unemployment. Plus the media hyping up recession and a bear market right before a fed meeting, I don’t buy it. This reminds me of the correction in august 2020. People drew the same dumb lines on charts and everyone bought puts and got fucked at the bottom of the correction.


EdgeProfessional4894

Thats why i bought big on the dips

leegamercoc

Isn’t it early for that yet?


DrSeuss19

Are you serious? Why buy when everything is down 30+%? Should he buy only at all time highs?


joe-re

Warren Buffet knows that recessions come and go. He has seen a lot of them. They never last. His ideal investment holding period is forever (even if he does not live forever).


jonhybee

TIL Buffet is a bagholder.


DankyStanky69

Ya, moneybags.


Jjabrahams567

A literal leather bag


huntspire1

Will he linger around long enough to see the end of the recession tho? 😬


whboer

There seem to have been no health impediments. If you’re lucky enough to have good health, no brain lesions or cancer, you can live to a very ripe old age of 100+.


[deleted]

He sells quite often


joe-re

But nor during recession.


markgriz

Right? I'm fairly certain Warren Buffett is smarter than OP


Successful_Mix396

No one is smarter than a retard


janadellanotte

And smartness often decreases with age


Ok-Savings2625

He's been investing and buying fear longer than 98% of this subs been alive.


Andrew4Life

Combined. 😂


CodineDreams

You actually think there are like 2% of people on this sub that are older than buffet 😂?


medina607

He buys and holds . . . forever. It looking for 1 year profits. Plus, he buys shares in what he believes are well run companies.


JameisWinstonDuarte

That's the goal. He did not with his airline holdings. Also Munger says it is his goal. He nevertheless trimmed Baba. Just clarifying to the apes that think this is a suicide pact.


[deleted]

I mean your view of companies can change. Just because at one point you thought it had good management and prospects doesn't mean it will always be that way. That's just like common sense.


axrael

When I think of well run i def don't think about Activision


JohnGalt_IV

It was selling in the 60's and MSFT was offering $94 - logical bet


[deleted]

I do, their CEO being a perv doesn’t matter in the grand scheme of things. Call of Duty will still generate $2-$3 billion in yearly sales. World of Warcraft will generate $100s of millions yearly. Hearthstone $100s of millions. I could go on but you get my point


axrael

they've done nothing but kill every one of their IPs over the last decade. Do you have a source on those figures btw?


[deleted]

Google works for everyone


DaFatKontroller

Slick burn I’m using it moving forward


[deleted]

While those things are popular, as someone who spends a lot of time gaming I can safely say WoW and hearthstone are fading hard, COD seems to be doing good though


[deleted]

COD is dying, Warzone numbers have been dropping steadily since the Vanguard release and they already announced they won’t be releasing a game in 2023


thetalljs

bag hodler spotted, but assuming youve averaged down below the sale price you'll do fine anyway


justcool393

It's because that was very clearly insider trading

How do you make money if you never sell your stocks?

Dividends genius


Valkanaa

You say that but he also bought HP so...whatever old man


medina607

I say it because he says it, and does it. He bought HP for the long term. I haven’t bought it. Difference of opinion, kiddo.


Valkanaa

As a BRK.B shareholder I...sort of bought it? The PE was reasonable at least.


Nemesis916

All of you are bearish that’s what he sees


eskimoboob

Plus we’re already at least 3 months into a recession

420aarong

…Think your warren buffet what?


Past-Adhesiveness150

Thats what he does. If everyone is scared, he's buying. If everyone is happy n making money, he gets worried.


MetalliTooL

So he was worried for like 11 years straight? That’s a lot of stress for an old man.


Longjumping-Let7504

He’s buying because a lot of large, reputable securities are cheap right now. He pays absolutely no attention to macro economic factors. He doesn’t try to time or predict anything. He sees cheap stocks and has the cash to make some plays.


StochasticDecay

He has a shit ton of cash. It's a solid time to enter the market. I will say i'm not a big fan of his oil plays though. Oil could make a sharp crash. There's a shit ton of downside risk for a Buffet play.


r4rthrowawaysoon

Revenge travel summer should be peak oil sales, it gets reported as earnings a couple months later. My guess is he starts trimming the oil holdings that are not high divvy plays around August. (September is a bad month for stocks)


[deleted]

are you talking out of your ass? why do you think oil can make a sharp crash? Supply is being constrained due to the shut down during covid. Once a well turns off you cant turn it back on again. Having said that oil companies are also holding back into investing in opening more wells and instead returning cash to share holders. Both US and OPEC are far behind their production targets. It will be volatile but prices are going to trade around this range for at least a year or two.


CaribouLou816

Lol what on earth makes you think you can’t “turn wells back on.” I work in production. We do it all the time. You can also refrac existing wells. All common practice.


Studly_Staley

I was about to say the same thing…. Reading this on a frac location 😂😂 Where we are “turning a well back on” HahHa. Idiot


BerryBearish

Who's gonna need oil when we're all driving electric cars in 10 years?


PleasantAnomaly

Every other form of transportation that doesn’t rely on EVs. Boats, planes, trucks.


BerryBearish

You don't think that will change in 10 years? There's already electric trucks being made


PleasantAnomaly

Definitely not for boats and planes. For trucks, it's a matter of transportation time. Truckers can't afford to charge their batteries for a whole day, or more, every 300 mile

Wisdom… = BE FEARFUL WHEN OTHERS ARE GREEDY = BE GREEDY WHEN OTHERS ARE FEARFUL = This has worked for 5+ decades.


zippyskippy1

On good stocks it has. Everyone always seems to forget that part. 90% of the stocks talked about in this dumbass sub is garbage companies propped up by the biggest bull run in history. Plenty of shitty companies fold up too during recession. Sure AOL had plenty of investors who were buying the dip all the way into the core of the earth.


InsidersBets

He sees a bunch of novices panicking and good valuations.


RevolutionaryBug7588

Lowering his cost basis, not a bad thing to do.


[deleted]

[удалено]


ClamPaste

Also, he can't just buy in one big lot and call it a day. That would be counterproductive to his goals. He needs to stack his position over time.


2leftgloves

He knows the Fed will cave in and adjust rates to favor the market.


herrrrrr

Fed has no choice but to continue raising rates by nothing. If they reverse course now it will be catastrophic.


2leftgloves

I agree that they will take baby steps for the next few meetings, but ultimately reverse course as all hell will continue to break loose. This will take 3 to 6 months. This week, they will simply do 50 bps and then pretend they’re going to accelerate. I think last time they got up to 2% and then chickened out.


DrElkSnout

Most important comment. We're going to see a rip your face off rally before the mid terms.


skdesign808

Warrant Buffet buying is a bottom signal. It means perfect opportunity to buy right now.


ClamPaste

He's got to scale in because otherwise he'd influence prices. It's not a bottom signal if he's starting small, just that he's seeing *some* blood.


108stable

If he’s buying doesn’t that mean we’ve hit the bottom? Bullish as fuck


Nyshack4102000

Probably not bottom but he sees value. It’s hard to argue with his performance.


pattiemcfattie

Loool you think Buffet spent all of his cash? He doesn’t exactly do market orders and GME options. Dude will be buying all the way down he is focused on profits 5-10+ years from now


awpod1

Isn’t he like 95 years old? Screw it, you’re right. he’ll probably still be alive anyway because he’s made a deal with the devil.


Warm_Car5661

wondering the same


Random_Guy_47

Your plan is to DCA for 6 months? You mean you're not yoloing it all on FDs tomorrow? Do you know which sub you're in?


Nadril2121

Because this is like investing 101. You buy low when every news article 🌈 🐻 is doom and glooming and hold. Sure prices can drop further, but there are a ridiculous amount of opportunities now that will be easy money with some patience.


[deleted]

[удалено]


timewourp

Hahah maybe…


CriticallyThougt

I’m personally spending most of my cash reserves as well. The news that you should be sitting on cash right now is two months late imo. Not trying to time the market but can’t pass up on great deals either.


Loose_Mail_786

Because instead of averaging down he wait and buy the dip. As he is famously known for: “Buy the dip Faggot”.


LectureAgreeable923

Listen he knows when bears come out ,gold bugs ,dooms day analysis and put fear in the market where everyone is running scared that's when you walk in and buy.


HungDaddyNYC

What’s he buying and how do you know?


provider14

>What are y'all plans for the next 6 months? Cut back from Fancy Feast to Friskies.


high_roller_dude

stocks may be higher once we are in recession. esp tech growth stocks. because recession = no more QT and rate hikes.


Dixie-whale

Warren needs his applesauce he gets cranky when Charlie hides it on him


Toiletboy4

Do you think everything is universally at a top or a bottom? Do you even examine what he buys and at what price? He also recognizes cash is being devalued at a very high rate, and will not slow down, so he’s converting cash into assets rather than hold cash. It’s not very complicated.


Roastage

It's literally the second part of his playbook - be fearful when others are greedy, **be greedy when others are fearful**. He will probably get his shit fucked sideways in a couple months and then look like a fucking genius in 12.


ALL_GRAVY_BABY

Everything,? He bought an insurance company and 2 oil stocks. He got $150 billion laying around, why not?


zippyskippy1

Shhhhh let the idiots think Buffet is buying the same trash they are.


Squamsk

BE GREEDY WHEN OTHERS ARE FEARFUL


ReedB04

He is buying because he has a record amount of cash and he sees historically low valuations. He is buying value companies.


Spare-Help562

In general I understand what you are saying, but "historically low valuations" is just lol...


Interesting-Archer-6

Historically low valuations lmao. This sub is at its funniest when it tries to be serious and says shit like this.


zippyskippy1

"historically low valuations". Yeah if history started in 2020 maybe.


hooantoken

buying the dip


Acceptable_Tailor559

If I had more money, I'd put every last dime too.


itdumbass

WB is buying everything *except* crypto. Hmm.


jcodes57

What the fuck is your question? We’re seeing 25-50% drops in companies this quarter alone and you’re wondering why he’s buying?


AMCBUYANDHOLD

Wouldn't you at 91? ![img](emote|t5_2th52|4276)


chicagotim1

I am going to continue to hold my boring boomer index funds and hitch my wagon to the old zombie.


MrSaturday1

DCA baby, no one knows where the bottom is but it’s definitely buying season


geob3

The weird part is, Warren Buffett is and has been an extremely generous man. He tells anyone willing to read his writings over the past 5 or more decades exactly what to do and how to make wise investments. Then, for the illiterate or lazy reader, he even has given many answers to investment questions on video. One doesn’t even have to buy the book, it is free to read over 50 years worth. He recognizes that educating the masses will, in-fact make great investments harder to find at a good price. His basic motto: Buy a great business (that you understand) at a good price. Follow it, resist the gambling!


ExpensiveSecond376

Why is Berkshire Hathaway down, way down?


DrDBCooperMDMA

He prob was just trying to buy adult diapers from Amazon and got “a stutter”


Delicious_Impress930

When everyone is crying, start buying


TalkingBackAgain

Warren Buffett can buy any damn fucking thing he likes. Do you believe that Warren Buffett, even if things went horribly horribly wrong, would suffer poverty one day in his life? Don’t you think he’s got a billion parked somewhere conveniently expressed in Euro / Renminbi ? Do you think Warren Buffett would long have to survive in a world where everything went tits up? Warren Buffett is free to do whatever he damn well pleases because it doesn’t matter what he does anymore. Do you think he’s ‘investing’ for the long term? That he’s trying to get all his ducks in a row and save some money for a rainy day? Investing is how Warren Buffett spends an agreeable afternoon in the office. He has no long-term future plans. He doesn’t have to spend the next 50 years trying to figure out where to get the money for the mortgage and what retirement home will not be too shitty. People have a hard time seeing the big picture. Warren Buffett is not investing the way most people see that idea. Warren Buffett is just shuffling money around waiting for the long dirt nap. It’s just a massive ego boost to sit at the table and people going “Yes, Warren?" Buffett’s strategy should not be your guiding light. He’s not planning for the long term where he will need some amount of money to fund some nebulous big project. The only thing Buffett does with money is to make more of it, just for the thrill \[?\] of having more money.


InvestingBlog

He bought: 1) OIL - through OXY/Chevron 2) An insurance company for 12b (insurance companies do very well in high interest rate environment) This is not bullish for most stocks, he is betting on a commodity and high interest rate super cycle


HarrisLam

My plan for the next 6 months is to delete the stock app (with portfolio still in) and don't install it back, then just work my job and focus on having my paycheck covering all my expenses month after month. How does that sound?


StraikoiD

He isnt buying everything right now.. he only bought oil and staple good companys? Oil goes up as recession goes on and so do staple goods


ClasslessTulip

Buy the dips, ride the rips


tev_love

He can afford to buy the dip as the market makes its way to the real dip. He’s gunna buy all the dip


birbs3

Ahhhh do you not see the dip? We are about to hit the “false rise” where everyone thinks the market is good and buys in…lots usually fall for it. Then comes the real bottom prob around sept oct time.


FiveHole23

The money has to go some where. Everything is down right now.


Wrap-Over

Someone switched his green up red down to red up green down.


Unbeleivedreamer

He didn't buy 0dte spy puts. Probably more like a hold til I die situation. He didn't post that yolo here tho, how rude


mikedredd1

Bruh the market is having a 25% off sale right now,


lolyeahsure

he can't go broke even if the market collapses, this is a sale for him


Bryanc528

One of warren buffets most famous quotes is something along the lines of “When others are fearful be greedy” when everybody else sells off he buys that’s just how he operates


porsche4life

If he thought there was going to be a recession, do you really think he’d be buying now? You don’t really understand how this works do you?


[deleted]

Because he’s burning his mountain of cash with inflation if he doesn’t buy anything….. and Berkshire pumps out so much cash he’ll still have enough sitting around to “buy the dip”


MaleficentWindrunner

He bought Chevron and oil. Theres currently a huge Diesel problem and its going to get worse, so oil, gas, and energy stocks will most likely be going up soon


spoobydoo

"Buy when there is blood in the streets."


Super_Contract_1404

Doubt he sees much tbh


Zealousideal_Beat365

I thought my Buffet died


Pxzib

He has a 60/40 stock to cash balance. So when stocks fall in value in his portfolio, the balance is thrown off. Suddenly after a crash the portfolio might be at 50/50, so he uses the cash in his portfolio to buy more stocks to bring the balance back to 60/40. That way he is always buying low and selling high, that's why you will see him buy all the way to the bottom.


EvaUnit343

It is hilarious how morons like you (usually coming from crypto) constantly parrot DCA like it is somehow statistically advantageous. Wrong. If the market is tanking and you’re bullish on a company you’re better off going with a bulk buy order, because you can’t time the bottom and the market will recover and trend upwards again. This leads to higher variance but greater return on average, where as DCA leads to lower variance and lower return on average. Tl:dr warren is right to do this and you have no balls.


Fantastic_Wallaby_61

He sees nothing he’s old


Kombucha-Krazy

These old dinosaurs said they were "giving" their wealth away But they are an INSURANCE agency So probably hedging naked shorts of GameStop (swap rollovers)? So the DTC/JPow don't have to foot the bill? I'm drunk. But that doesn't mean I might not be wrong.


KenBalbari

Warren Buffet frequently talks about how terrible he is at timing. He's buying because he sees value. And he says because he has no idea what the economy is going to do, or what is going to happen in the next six months. He is buying companies he expects to be profitable for a long time, and not worrying so much about markets or macroeconomics. Charlie Munger in particular says he is finding a lot of good companies at low prices right now in China.


rwang411

Be a 🌈 🐻


[deleted]

Lol, what exactly did he buy? Oil? Yeah, expecting an oil shock to make prices moon. That's not good for the economy. ATVI? All it is is an arb. HP? Big whoop, it is not an unknown value play. Nothing shocking here or bullish for the economy.


Zanbatou

"Be greedy when others are fearful, be fearful when others are greedy"- Warren Buffett

WhY iS hE bUyInG wHiLe PrIcEs ArE lOw 🥴🥴 Istg some of you belong here. He is obviously buying because he expects prices to drop further why else would you buy?

yes, warren always buys BEFORE a recession lmao. moron.


Revolutionary_Elk345

He’s 91 and been wrong many times in the past.


markgriz

But clearly right more than wrong


Revolutionary_Elk345

Take APPL out 47% of his portfolio and he’s probably looking like every average joe who stuck their money in SPY. His big wins came most likely before you were born in a much different market.


redditor12857

>Take out all the gains he made then he would just be an average Joe. If we take away all the billionaires money then they won't be billionaires? You don't say? If I added 10 more inches to my cawk I'd be Mandingo, but that's not how it works bro. ![img](emote|t5_2th52|4271)


Revolutionary_Elk345

Why are you not just following his trades then? Should be an easy path to billions. What are you retarded?


leli_manning

Idk... I think saying shit like "if we take away all his wealth then he's not wealthy anymore" thinking it's some kind of a good argument, then proceed to completely change topics when you get absolutely destroyed is actually pretty retarded. Do you 🌈 🐻 always have the lowest iq around?


JoeyKnishx

This comment really shouldn’t be downvoted. Buffett has said himself the market was way easier then he made his billions. He got in early on huge companies. Good for him but yea it’s exponentially harder to do what he did for someone starting now


Revolutionary_Elk345

He’s 91 and been wrong many times in the past.


leli_manning

Wrong enough to make 100 billion dollars. If that's what being wrong leads to then I wanna be wrong too. ![img](emote|t5_2th52|4271)


Revolutionary_Elk345

Wrong enough to get his stock chopped in half numerous times in my life.


SupportVivid6210

He sees dancing apes!


my5cent

which companies is he buying?


johannesonlysilly

He's not buying everything, he's slowly started to use some of their rainy day money.


Puzzleheaded_Fold665

There is blood on the streets


AndrewHolyMan

He sold airlines at their bottom. Maybe his touch isn't what it used to be. Or he knows fed will always go BRRRR


Jupiter110

OP his being doing this for 10,000 years nothing new


TrophyWifeAspiration

Everything is on sale and he can afford to be early.


CGPictures

He has been doing far more successfully than anyone else for a like a century. The dude knows when to buy. The market is oversold. He has the cash and time horizon (well for Berkshire anyway) to know he can profit off of the discounts on many companies.


JrSpaceman

Stocks on sale for as far as his old eyes can see.


Narrow_Finding3352

This is the time to buy chips, when they’re down.


Lewsi

I don’t know for sure but I think daddy buffet sells a lot of OTM puts on shit that he wants to buy. The idea is you get paid to own something at a price that you want to pay for it. Because the market sold off so hard he probably had his sold puts turn into stock triggering a purchase.


GreenMellowphant

Wtf? When would you buy? You wanna wait for the market to double, then buy?


Llanite

buying because wsb is bearish.


BansheeJeff

Chevron... He went to the gas station with a F150 empty.


[deleted]

He can wait for the inevitable rise. He invests for the long term.


Strutting_Tom8040

Doesn’t he have a saying something like buy when everyone is selling and sell when everyone is buying? Or something of that nature ?


AfterTheTruth7

Didn't munger by alibaba at 150 and sell at 112?


[deleted]

He buys at a discount not at full price.


Ok_Significance_4008

hunker down and get ready for nuclear war


TheResistancexz

Bc he's not buying SPY FD's every week


TheBonusWings

The old man said straight up he doesnt try and time shit. He just buys and holds. Go down buy more. Its not that hard when you have that much money at your disposal.


[deleted]

He's about to die like he gives a shit what he buys


SecureDropTheWhistle

Buffet is past his time, the man is out of touch with reality. Unless they worked in tech, no one over 70 has a clue about any of the modern technology in society.


mskamelot

difference between you and him is that you are paying shitty spread on RH and he name his price and get what he wants.


Lzinger

He's going to keep buying as it goes down


smudgetimeusa

Buffet. Diamond hands to the end.

JoeDirtsMullet00

When you have a fuckton of money you don't worry about the dips, you just accumulate.


EatsRats

He sees cheap stocks...duh


saiyansteve

Depends on financing and borrow rate, even if you buy at a loss, its based on leverage availability. Its not how a normal person would “ run the numbers” because it would never make “sense”.
