After years of record-breaking growth, major market indexes are stagnating. The S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) is down 0.42% over the past month, as of this writing, while the tech-focused Nasdaq Composite (NASDAQINDEX: ^IXIC) has sunk by nearly 2% in that time.
Some market indicators are also raising red flags over valuations. The S&P 500 Shiller CAPE Ratio, for instance, is the highest it's been since the dot-com bubble, suggesting the index is trading at a premium. The Buffett indicator is also at a record high of 236%. For context, Warren Buffett himself noted that when this indicator nears 200%, investors are "playing with fire."

Now, this doesn't mean that a bear market is around the corner. But downturns are a normal part of the market's cycle, so it's not a matter of if we face a pullback, but when. Here's my number one piece of advice about how to prepare right now.
Volatility could be looming, but a century's worth of history proves one thing: The investors who win out are those who stay invested for the long haul.

One of Wall Street's largest publicly traded companies, Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRKA)(NYSE: BRKB), has entered a new era. With Warren Buffett officially retiring as CEO on Dec. 31, 2025, after more than half a century at the helm, it's his protégé, Greg Abel, now calling the shots.
Berkshire's more than five dozen owned companies more or less run themselves. The focus of Berkshire Hathaway's operating results tends to be on what, if any, moves have been made in the company's $352 billion investment portfolio. Although Abel has been an aggressive buyer of Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOGL)(NASDAQ: GOOG) stock of late, stock market dynamics strongly suggest he was a net seller of equities in the second quarter.

If accurate, this would mark the 15th consecutive quarter that Buffett and/or Abel have sold more stocks than they've purchased.
As of March 31, Warren Buffett and Greg Abel had collectively sold approximately $194.8 billion more in stocks than they've purchased since Oct. 1, 2022. While some investors had postulated that Buffett was raising cash to give Abel a treasure chest to work with when he took over, the more likely catalyst behind this selling is the stock market's otherworldly valuation.

Like most investors, I stepped into the stock market rather cautiously, doing my best to follow Warren Buffett's primary rule: "Don't lose money."
Three decades later, I now realize I didn't fully appreciate the nuances of this tip. Namely, I conflated temporary setbacks with locking in losses. Oh, I knew the difference between realized and unrealized. It's just that, mentally, I convinced myself that some pullbacks never stop. Big mistake. Most do. This mindset kept me out of some stocks that would have ended up being very big winners.

I can't go back in time and do things over. I can, however, help others learn from my mistakes and tell them the very first stock I would have bought and held back then if I had known then what I know now. That's Google parent Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOGL) (NASDAQ: GOOG).
OK, Google wasn't around when I first started investing. It wouldn't exist until 1998, and it didn't go public until 2004. If I were just starting out or starting over again today, however, it would be the foundational position in my portfolio.

Warren Buffett stands as one of the most celebrated investors in history. Under his leadership at Berkshire Hathaway beginning in 1965, the investment conglomerate delivered a compound annual gain of 19.7% through 2025, almost double the S&P 500's (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) 10.5% average annual return over the same period.
That performance turned modest early investments into generational wealth for patient shareholders, validating Buffett's reputation for focusing on long-term value rather than short-term profits.

One tool the Oracle of Omaha has long employed for gauging the health of the stock market is the aptly named Buffett indicator, which compares the total value of U.S. stocks to gross domestic product (GDP). Its currently elevated reading raises questions about whether stocks are outrunning underlying economic growth and what that could signal for future returns.
The Buffett indicator is a ratio between the aggregate market capitalization of all publicly traded U.S. companies -- typically captured by a broad index such as the Wilshire 5000 -- and nominal U.S. GDP. This metric offers a snapshot of how large the stock market has become relative to the size of the economy that ultimately supports corporate profits.

Tutor Perini (NYSE: TPC) has been tapped for inclusion on an index run by a high-profile financial information and ****** ysis company, and investors were there for it on Tuesday. Following the news, they eagerly snapped up shares of the construction company, leaving it with a nearly 8% gain that trading session.

Taylor Morrison's place in that index will be taken by current S&P SmallCap 600 constituent Krystal Biotech (NASDAQ: KRYS). In turn, Tutor Perini will supplant Krystal Biotech in that lineup.

A top Bloomberg ***** yst has a bold idea for Warren Buffett. Eric Balchunas says the investor should give his Berkshire Hathaway shares to Trump Accounts, the new government investment accounts for American children.
Balchunas shared the idea on Tuesday. Buffett, 95, plans to give away his remaining Berkshire stake, worth about $140 billion, by the end of 2034.
Trump Accounts launched on July 4. They were created under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, a new tax law. Every eligible child born between 2025 and 2028 gets a $1,000 deposit from the Treasury.
Families can add up to $5,000 per year. The money sits in an S&P 500 index fund called SPYM by default. The Treasury picked Robinhood and BNY to run the app and the accounts.
Balchunas, the senior ETF ***** yst at Bloomberg Intelligence, thinks the accounts are a natural match for Buffett. Almost all of Buffett's wealth is Berkshire stock. He has also promised to give more than 99% of it away.

At the end of last year, Warren Buffett retired as chairman and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRKA)(NYSE: BRKB) and passed the reins to Greg Abel. Although Buffett still has some influence on the company, it's clear that Abel and Berkshire Hathaway are embracing new strategies.
Since Abel took over, Berkshire Hathaway's stock portfolio has changed a bit, and one of the biggest shifts is that it has loaded up on Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOG)(NASDAQ: GOOGL). Berkshire Hathaway purchased its first Alphabet shares in late 2025, but Abel has taken it up a notch. It's now Berkshire Hathaway's fifth-largest holding, accounting for 8.7% of its stock portfolio (across both share classes).

Alphabet isn't the typical Berkshire Hathaway investment, but amid the evolving artificial intelligence (AI) landscape, it makes sense for the conglomerate to embrace an AI company that has its hands in many pots. Between its prior public stake and the company's announcement of a new $10 billion private placement purchase in June, Berkshire Hathaway now holds a nearly $31 billion stake.
It's clear that AI is here to stay. The way people and businesses interact with it will inevitably evolve, but the technology itself isn't going anywhere. Alphabet is a smart investment for Berkshire Hathaway because it's a full-stack AI company that handles most of the pipeline in-house. It has operations in key parts of the AI ecosystem, including:

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Billionaire Warren Buffett said Wednesday that his decision to cut the Gates Foundation out of his charitable giving is more about believing his three kids are ready to handle giving away his entire fortune than it is about Bill Gates ' ties to convicted **** offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Buffett told CNBC that Gates' **** ociation with Epstein was "distasteful," but the 95-year-old investor suggested that Gates' actions weren't much different from mistakes he himself had made over the years in hiring the wrong person or in choosing friends.
"No one bats a thousand in the business of choosing people," Buffett said on CNBC.
Buffett said he "read a great deal since Jan. 1 in terms of what happened with Bill and Epstein. And I have read his remarks to Congress given under oath, and I read the cross-examination." He noted that Gates eventually ended his relationship with Epstein.
Buffett said Gates wasn't surprised by the decision Buffett announced Tuesday to eventually donate all the rest of his $140 billion of Berkshire Hathaway stock to foundations **** ociated with his family and his three children, Howard, Susie and Peter. Gates flew to Omaha a few weeks ago and spent several hours talking with Buffett. The two hadn't spoken much since before additional details about Gates and Epstein started to come out when the federal government began releasing files from the Epstein investigation.

The question isn't one of logistics; any retirement account that can hold an individual stock can certainly hold an ETF, which trades just like any other exchange-traded ticker. The question is one of performance: Can ETFs compete with stock-picking?

PG absorbed a $400M tariff hit and margin compression while MSFT dropped 20% despite 40% Azure growth, and in both stories the driving factor is execution risk rather than volatility.

United Wholesale Mortgage (NYSE: UWMC), which usually just goes by the acronym UWM, just got beaten. But in this case, being a loser could be the best thing that happened to the company and its shareholders. Here's what happened and why the failed bid to buy Two Harbors (NYSE: TWO) isn't really that bad of an outcome.
UWM and privately held CrossCountry Mortgage were both attempting to buy the mortgage real estate investment trust (REIT) Two Harbors. It all started with UWM and Two Harbors agreeing to a $1.3 billion all-stock deal in late 2025. CrossCountry Mortgage stepped in at the end of the first quarter of 2026, offering an all-cash deal that Two Harbors deemed superior.

As often happens in such situations, there was an ugly, public back-and-forth. At the end of the day, CrossCountry Mortgage's cash offer rose from an original $10.70 per share to $12, or roughly $1.3 billion. That comes even after UWM offered $12.50 in cash for Two Harbor shareholders who preferred cash over 2.3328 shares of UWM. While UWM was clearly displeased with losing out, it also didn't pursue it further after its final offer.
If you own UWM, you should probably be pleased with the outcome. As anyone who's ever been in a bidding war knows, the winner often ends up overpaying. And, as Benjamin Graham, the famous investor who helped train Warren Buffett, often noted, paying too much for a good company can turn it into a bad investment. Corporate acquisitions are no different.

When Warren Buffett handed the reins to Greg Abel at the end of 2025, the big question was what Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRKB)(NYSE: BRKA) would do with its enormous pile of cash. We're starting to get an answer, and it has a name: Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOGL)(NASDAQ: GOOG).
Berkshire has rapidly built a position in the Google parent worth more than $20 billion. That's a striking move for a company whose new CEO could easily have spent his first months playing it safe. So what does Abel see in Alphabet, and what does the buying say about how he plans to deploy Berkshire's capital?
Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again. In 2009, a "Double Down" signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia. For the first time in years, that same "Total Conviction" signal is flashing for a company 1/100th the size of Nvidia. Continue »
Berkshire first bought a small amount of Alphabet in the third quarter of 2025, while Buffett was still CEO. But the scale of the purchases changed dramatically once Abel took over. In the first quarter of 2026, Berkshire more than tripled its Alphabet holding. That pushed the position to about $16.6 billion by the end of March, enough to make Alphabet its seventh-largest equity holding.
And then, in June, Berkshire agreed to a $10 billion private placement of Alphabet stock, buying about 28.6 million new shares directly from the company as part of Alphabet's massive equity raise. The purchase was split evenly between Alphabet's two publicly traded share classes, at prices modestly below where the stock traded at the time.

It's a year of new beginnings for the trillion-dollar conglomerate that Warren Buffett helped build, Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRKA)(NYSE: BRKB). Following the Oracle of Omaha's retirement as CEO on Dec. 31, Berkshire has its first new leader in more than half a century.
Buffett's protégé, Greg Abel, is now at the helm -- and he's wasted no time making his presence felt. Since taking over, Abel has completely exited 16 positions and amassed a mammoth stake in Google parent Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOGL)(NASDAQ: GOOG). When combined with Berkshire's largest position, Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL), Abel has 30% of Berkshire's $343 billion investment portfolio tied up in two foundational artificial intelligence (AI) stocks.

There's no stock that Greg Abel has purchased more aggressively since taking over as CEO a little over six months ago than Alphabet.
During the first quarter, he more than doubled Berkshire's stake in Alphabet's Class A shares (GOOGL) and opened a position in its Class C shares (GOOG). More recently, Berkshire committed to buy a $10 billion private placement from Alphabet ($5 billion of each share class).

Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.B) stock is up just 0.78% for the year and is underperforming the S&P 500 Index ($SPX) by a wide margin. However, the stock gained 3.78% over the last month, which not only helped it turn positive for the year but also helped it bridge its gap with the index. With Berkshire jumping sharply over the last month, let's examine the stock's outlook in the back half of the year.
Berkshire stock hit its record high a day before Buffett announced his retirement at last year's annual shareholder meeting. There was always a "Warren Buffett premium" built into Berkshire shares, and after the nonagenarian announced that he would step down as CEO, that premium began to wither.

Warren Buffett issued a sharp warning during Berkshire Hathaway's annual meeting this year, and its significance extends to every investor watching this market.
Speaking to CNBC in an interview during the annual meeting weekend, the legendary investor offered an 11-word ****** sment of the current environment that carries more weight than most year-end ****** yst forecasts.
The American ****** ociation of Individual Investors' July 2, 2026, sentiment survey found bullish sentiment on stocks over the next six months plunged 13.6 percentage points to 31.4%, while bearish sentiment rose to 42.3%.
For most of June, CNN's Fear and Greed Index, which measures sentiment through several stock market signals, has remained firmly in the "fear" zone.
The warning arrives as one of the most decorated long-term investors of the modern era has ****** embled the largest cash position in Berkshire's history, a signal ****** ysts have flagged as a valuation call in itself.

Warren Buffett's favorite market valuation measure is at a record high, suggesting that the stock market is exceedingly expensive. Specifically, the total market capitalization of the U.S. stock market is now 136% greater than the nation's gross domestic product, or GDP. That's roughly 70% above the long-term norm.
The narrative surrounding this indicator's surge since the bull market began in late 2022 is bearish, of course, and perhaps rightly so.

However, there may also be a gaping flaw in the very premise of the Buffett indicator.
Don't misread the message. Warren Buffett isn't just a brilliant stock picker. He's also got a great feel for how the economy and the stock market affect one another.

Under the leadership of new CEO Greg Abel, Berkshire Hathaway is making a splash in the technology ***** e. Based on its most recent 13F filing, the conglomerate owned 68,462,015 Class A shares and 17,944,778 Class C shares of Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOGL) (NASDAQ: GOOG) as of March 31, which today is valued at $30.7 billion. These two positions combined make up Berkshire's fourth-largest holding in a single company's equity.

Warren Buffett is a tough act to follow. He is arguably the greatest investor of his time, transforming Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRKA)(NYSE: BRKB) into a massive holding company with almost 200 subsidiaries and a $330 billion equity portfolio, and he has trounced the S&P 500 over time.
However, Greg Abel, Buffett's handpicked successor, made his mark on the company in the first quarter of 2026, his first as CEO. Here's what it looks like, and how it could change the company's trajectory.

In his first annual shareholder letter as CEO, Abel committed to upholding the values that shaped Berkshire Hathaway over the 60 years Buffett ran it. He said that "Berkshire's culture and values remain unchanged and will continue into perpetuity," and he specified the commitment to allocating capital efficiently with a business underpinned by a robust insurance operation. He echoed Buffett's maxim that the company's job is to be "exceptional stewards of our shareholders' capital."

Warren Buffett, the chairman of Berkshire Hathaway Inc., has reportedly chosen to delay his usual midyear donation to the Gates Foundation, the philanthropic organization founded by Microsoft Corporation co-founder Bill Gates and his ex-wife, Melinda French Gates.
This marks the first time in twenty years that such a postponement has occurred, reported The Wall Street Journal on Monday. Buffett's decision to hold off on the donation is pending the outcome of a review into the foundation's links with late ***** offender Jeffrey Epstein.
The findings of this review, expected to be released later this summer, will inform Buffett's final decision, which could be announced in his annual Thanksgiving letter, as per the report.

For the first time in more than half a century, the trillion-dollar company that Warren Buffett helped build is in uncharted territory. Following the Oracle of Omaha's retirement as Berkshire Hathaway's (NYSE: BRKA)(NYSE: BRKB) CEO on Dec. 31, it's his longtime understudy, Greg Abel, who's now calling the shots.
Abel wasted little time reshaping Berkshire's $332 billion investment portfolio. Since taking over as CEO, he's dumped 16 positions, including the renowned pizza chain, Domino's Pizza (NASDAQ: DPZ). At the other end of the spectrum, he's built up a mammoth stake in Google parent Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOGL)(NASDAQ: GOOG), which is now a top-five holding.

While an argument can be made that selling out of Amazon was the biggest eyebrow-raiser of Abel's first quarter as Berkshire's CEO, his exit from Domino's Pizza is even more surprising.
Before Buffett's retirement, he acquired shares of Domino's for six consecutive quarters, building up a 3.35-million-share position. Whereas Berkshire's Amazon stake was substantially reduced in the fourth quarter, signaling its upcoming exit, there was no indication that Domino's would be given the heave-ho.

The Kraft Heinz Company (NASDAQ:KHC) is one of the 10 Best Long-Term Stocks to Buy Now According to Warren Buffett.
Food products firm The Kraft Heinz Company (NASDAQ:KHC)'s shares are down by 8.2% over the past year and by 2.8% year-to-date. Berkshire disclosed a stake in the firm in the third quarter of 2015. Back then, it held 325 million shares that were worth $22.9 billion. Or more precisely, Berkshire had disclosed holding 325,634,818 The Kraft Heinz Company (NASDAQ:KHC) shares back then. In perhaps the strongest example of Charlie Munger and Warren Buffett's philosophy of buying and forgetting, the investment firm has held the exact number of shares since then. However, as the average price has dipped from $75.49 to $23.52, the latest stake is worth $7.3 billion.
The Kraft Heinz Company (NASDAQ:KHC) made a major announcement on June 18th when it announced that it would split its operating structure into three regions. It will combine Asia Emerging Markets and West and East Emerging Markets into one Emerging Markets Region in order to streamline business operations. The stock's dividend yield is 6.75% as of June 28th.
While we acknowledge the potential of KHC as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk. If you're looking for an extremely undervalued AI stock that also stands to benefit significantly from Trump-era tariffs and the onshoring trend, see our free report on the best short-term AI stock.
