Warren Buffett is not only a wealthy investor; he is a person who inspires others. In my blog, I publish on a regular basis a snapshot of Buffett's latest activities on the market. I personally watch closely what he is doing.
Sometimes we have the same ideas and sometimes I get new ones from his latest stock buys and sells.
Linked is a current portfolio update of Buffett’s portfolio movements as of the fourth quarter of 2012 (Dec. 31, 2012). In total, he has 41 stocks with a total portfolio worth of USD75.3 billion. Buffett bought two new companies and added 10 additional stocks to his fund. The most important buy was Wells Fargo and DaVita HealthCare Partners. Both stocks affected his portfolio by more than 0.5 percent.
In return, Buffett reduced three stocks. The biggest changer on the short side was Mondelez.
Here are some interesting long picks from Warren's Berkshire Hathaway fund as of Q4/2012:
