Hardly any new purchases and record amounts of cash: The two star investors Buffett and Burry are currently unusually defensive with their portfolios. There are reasons for this. Warren Buffett has long since arranged his personal succession. Now the 94-year-old star investor is working on revising the stock portfolio of his investment company Berkshire Hathaway. What this looks like is now apparent: four times a year the public has the opportunity to look into his portfolio - always after the end of the quarter, when he has to report his positions to the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). He always has six weeks to do this - which is why the status as of September 30, 2024 has now been published. What is striking is that Buffett relies heavily on hedging. He has again reduced the proportion of Apple shares, which once made up 51 percent of his portfolio, by a quarter. And he has also reduced his second largest position, Bank of America, by 23 percent. "I think you can clearly see that Buffett is reducing risk," says Andreas Neuhaus, co-team leader for investments and markets at Handelsblatt. "He is realizing profits on his top positions, but is not buying much new. As a result, his cash position has increased to over 300 billion dollars and is now larger than the stock portfolio."

Neuhaus also sees a similar focus on security in the portfolio (also as of September 30, 2024) of Michael Burry, the "Big Short" investor who bet on the real estate crisis in 2007. Although he is even increasing his bet on China, he is also hedging it heavily. In this episode, you will hear what investors can learn from both investors.
