Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (NYSE: BRK-A) (NYSE: BRK-B) does not go for short-term gains, and short-term losses are part of the game for investing. Warren Buffett has even told employees to only to worry about walking the straight line and everything else fall into place. But whenever Buffett is found to have invested in a company, its stock is immediately pushed up by other investors. After reviewing some of his portfolio holdings where his outlook is "forever," you will notice how painful that has been for investors who have chased Buffett’s picks. Most of the public does not invest with a "forever" time frame. We have only included those stakes where Buffett has sizable investments.
You can look at the changes in his recent positions or his add-on positions in Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (NYSE: GS), General Electric Co. (NYSE: GE), and Wells Fargo & Co. (NYSE: WFC) to see how much some of these stocks have come down. There are of course many caveats and we are certainly not suggesting that Mr. Buffett only picks stocks which go down. He would be the first to tell you he can’t control the market, and he would also say that he doesn’t care about the stock market performance in any given short period.
