Buffett said in an interview on Tuesday that he is still closely involved in the company's investment decisions. He also played down the impact of recent market fluctuations, saying that the current market conditions are far from the stage in the past that brought significant buying opportunities.
Former Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A.US) CEO Warren Buffett, known as the "Oracle of Omaha," said in an interview on Tuesday that he is still closely involved in the company's investment decisions despite stepping down. He also added that he recently made a "tiny" new investment. Buffett mentioned that he still goes to the office every day and remains attentive to market trends, participating in trading decisions with colleagues. He described his daily routine, including discussing market developments with Berkshire Hathaway's financial asset manager Mark Millard before the market opens. Buffett stated that Millard's office is about 20 feet away from his own, and they execute trades based on these discussions. He emphasized that even though he handed over the CEO position to Greg Abel in early 2026, he still stays personally involved in his work. Buffett said, "I won't make any investments that Abel thinks are wrong Abel receives an investment status report every day." When asked about new investments, he mentioned making a "very small purchase" recently but did not provide further details. Buffett also downplayed the impact of recent market fluctuations, stating that the current market conditions do not compare to past significant buying opportunities. He said, "Since I took over, the market has dropped by over 50% at least three times. The current situation is not worth getting excited about." Buffett also revealed that Berkshire Hathaway purchased $17 billion worth of U.S. Treasury bonds in the weekly auction this week. Berkshire Hathaway had previously disclosed in its year-end financial report that it held over $370 billion in cash equivalents, mostly in U.S. Treasury bonds. Regarding Apple Inc. stock, Buffett mentioned that he sold too early but would still be willing to increase his holdings in the future, just not at the current market environment. "I sold too early. But I bought it even earlier, so there you have it." Even though Apple Inc. stock has dropped over 14% from recent highs and over 6% this month, Buffett believes it is still not very attractive at the moment.
