He practices what he preaches. While Berkshire Hathaway has ownership interests in about 45 companies, the lion’s share of the portfolio (nearly two-thirds) is invested in just six names. The biggest is Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL), followed by Wells Fargo (NYSE: WFC), Kraft Heinz (Nasdaq: KHC), Bank of America (NYSE: BAC), Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO), and American Express (NYSE: AXP).Buffett isn’t afraid to make colossal investments in a small handful of positions. And with few exceptions, these big bets usually work out brilliantly. Of course, we’re also talking about the most astute stock picker of all time. For those without his legendary skills, this strategy might be far less productive — possibly even dangerous.

Frankel:Yeah. Buffett said in his letterthis year, about three months ago, thatshareholders shouldn’t pay much attention to Berkshire’searnings going forward. Basically,there’s an accounting change now that requireswhat they call unrealized gains on investments,meaning stocks they haven’t sold yet,to be included in earnings figures. Asmost listeners know,the stock market did not have a great first quarter to 2018. This wasespecially true for some of Buffett’s stocks.Wells Fargo(NYSE:WFC) had a particularly bad time.Coca-Cola, Kraft Heinz are all doing pretty poorly.This made Berkshire look like they lostover $1 billion,when in reality, theiroperating earnings, which is the earnings that are actually being generated by itsbusinesses, grewto a record high level, up almost 50% year over year. It wasactually about a $5 billion profit, and thechange in value of the company’sstock portfoliomade it look like a loss.
