Super Investors Buys And Sells!

+ Market Update

Market Latest

Dragged down by mega-cap tech, the S&P 500 momentarily wiped out its year-to-date gains but still sits 15% higher than a year ago.

Problems continue to pile up:

• Trade uncertainty

• Weakening consumer confidence

• Growth worries

The S&P 500 briefly dipped below last year’s closing level falling 4.5% from its February 19 all-time high.

Over the past two years, the Magnificent 7 accounted for more than half of the index’s gains.

However, this year, the group has transitioned from a leader to a laggard, slipping into correction territory.

On a granular level we can see a lot of red right across the board.

Biggest losers included:

• Palantir (PLTR) down 16%

• Tesla (TSLA) down 13%

• Dell (DELL) down 13%

• Lam Research (LRCX) down 11%

• Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) down 10%

• Nvidia (NVDA) down 7%

Fear and Greed Index

We have now entered into Extreme Fear territory, with investor sentiment looking incredibly anxious and bearish.

When we see fear in the markets, it reminds us of this Warren Buffett quote:

Super Investors Portfolio

Warren Buffett - Berkshire Hathaway

His new portfolio is shown here and we have gone to the detail of explaining his key individual moves for Q4 2024 below:

Below we can see the movements of Q4:

Highlights

1. We note 1 new buy of Constellation Brands (STZ) which is at a 52 week low, check our in depth thoughts on this buy below.

2. He fully sold out of 3 stocks, although they were very small as a % of his total portfolio - SPY, VOO and ULTA (which was only a recent new buy from him).

3. He has sold shares of a lot of banks in his portfolio, including Bank of America which he has been selling for quite some time now - it is however his 3rd largest position sitting at 11%.

4. His largest top up buy, outside of his new STZ position was Dominos Pizza (DPZ) which was actually a new position in the previous quarter.

Their cash position continues to hit all-time highs at $334bn:

Bill Ackman - Pershing Square Capital Management

His new portfolio is shown here and we have gone to the detail of explaining his key individual moves for Q4 2024 below:

Below we can see the movements of Q4:

Highlights

1. Bill Ackman continues to add Nike, Brookfield and Seaport, something we also saw him do in the previous quarter.

2. He continues to sell Hilton, like the last quarter, although we can see it still makes up 11% of his overall portfolio.

3. He has started to sell off CMG, although only 14% at this stage, still making it his 3rd largest position overall.

Remember, these portfolio updates are from the previous months, however with Bill Ackman he has come out to say he has added a new position to his overall portfolio in January, so we expect to pick this up in the next quarter release.

The company?

This would take it to his largest position overall!

We actually covered the stock when it was near it’s 52 week low where it looked like a bargain, go check it out:
