Why Warren Buffett Just Sold Half His Stake in…

My grim warning about AI stocks (From Porter & Company)

Why Warren Buffett Just Sold Half His Stake in Apple Stock

Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max smartphone new models, demo display launch at Apple store

Financial markets across the globe are going on a break, an undefined and unmeasured break. Warren Buffett released his quarterly holdings over the weekend. The record cash holdings of over $218 billion for Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (NYSE: BRK.A) isn’t the most exciting thing investors can focus on when pouring over the release. What was once one of Buffett’s largest holdings has now been cut in half, and the message behind it is just as important as the sale.

Shares of Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) are selling off by as much as 5% to start the trading week after the news release. Buffett sold 50% of his shares in the technology stock giant, and he quoted that the reasoning came mostly from a tax-efficient perspective. However, this is the soundbite that investors want to repeat in order to remain calm; the truth may be a lot different.

The stock market rotation is now well underway, as capital is starting to flee the technology sector and go into other spaces like bonds and commodities like gold. In fact, the iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (NASDAQ: TLT) is up by over 1.2% on a day when the S&P 500 is down by roughly 3.7%. More than that, gold prices are now hovering near an all-time high, showing the market rotation is here to stay. Despite all the noise, here’s what investors can focus on to navigate this environment.

FedNow’s Digital Control Has Begun (Ad)

The Wall Street Journal has sounded the alarm, hinting at an impending catastrophe on the horizon. It’s time for every conservative American to rally and defend their financial future against this radical agenda.

As the Biden administration pushes forward with its currency reset agenda, the need to act swiftly has never been more critical.

Discover the ONLY Three Steps You Must Take Immediately

Buffett’s View is Alarming, But Also Spells Opportunity for Investors

The reason for the selling was pointed to Buffett’s future view of tax rates for capital gains, reasoning that the government would raise these rates to close down on widening budget and trade deficits. Taking some profits off the table today (at lower tax rates) rather than tomorrow (at higher tax rates) makes sense.

However, Buffett is not known nor fond of timing the market, at least the economy. At the same time, other portfolio choices reveal what his actual view of the market might be. After buying up to 29% of Occidental Petroleum Co. (NYSE: OXY) in a nine-day buy streak, Buffett’s optimism on the energy sector might tell investors all they need to know.

Higher oil prices will strengthen the energy sector, as analysts at Goldman Sachs expect them to reach $100 a barrel this year. However, commodities can only rally on perceived dollar weakness, and Buffett would be right to expect this.

More than that, Buffett also sold out of some of his Bank of America Inc. (NYSE: BAC) stake, as reported over the weekend. By taking a less optimistic view of the financial sector, he is doubling down on the coming dollar weakness and consumer environment for the United States economy.

Apart from all the selling and worrying, investors can look at the opposite end of the spectrum for opportunities. The infamous yield curve is now moving back to positive territory, an indicator that is 100% accurate in predicting rallies in the energy sector. This reiterates Buffett’s view on the space.

Wall Street Analysts Support the Rotation and Recommend It

Looking at forecasts for earnings per share (EPS) growth in the next 12 months, namely between the technology and energy sectors, can give investors a much deeper insight.

Occidental Petroleum’s EPS growth expectations are set at 32.2%, whereas Apple analysts only forecast EPS growth of 12.2% today. If, in fact, there could be dollar weakness, investors should stick with the companies that promise above-average growth.

Royal Gold Inc. (NASDAQ: RGLD) is another company helping Buffett’s thesis. The gold miner is also getting some attention from Wall Street analysts today. Forecasting up to 24.9% EPS growth shows a better future for investors who are still hanging on to the artificial intelligencehype of yesterday.

Remembering that bonds could also be an attractive investment, especially if the Federal Reserve (the Fed) ends up cutting interest rates, investors shouldn’t be surprised to see Stanley Druckenmiller sell out of NVIDIA Co. (NASDAQ: NVDA) and reallocate into the bond ETF mentioned above.

One last check for investors keeping up with Buffett’s report: Why hold so much cash? This includes not only cash balances but also new liquidity found through selling Bank of America and Apple stock.

Buffett has historically held larger amounts of cash when he sees no buying opportunities in the market, and that means good news for investors sitting on the sidelines waiting for all the potentially good deals that will come if the S&P 500 selloff accelerates.

Rogan and Carlson Warning: Beware the Digital Currency Menace

A Message from Priority Gold

Editor’s Note: A Critical Moment for Your Financial Future

Right now, massive economic shifts are unfolding that could affect the balance of global financial power for decades to come. The stakes have never been higher, and the urgency to act has never been more critical. As the BRICS nations make moves to dethrone the U.S. dollar in global trade, and as the U.S. counters with the Digital Dollar, your financial privacy and freedom hang in the balance. This is not just another industry update—it is a must-read briefing that could fundamentally impact how you fortify and grow your wealth.

This Could Be the Biggest Wealth Shift in a Century… Are You Prepared?

Think about this… Right now, as you’re reading this, a monumental shift is brewing in the world’s economy—a move that could redefine financial power globally.

Something critical just happened… In June the BRICS nations — Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa — met. They weren’t just chatting about trade. No, they were plotting to dismantle the dominance of the U.S. dollar in global trade. A new trade system, free from the dollar. What does that spell for the dollar’s future? Trouble.

While BRICS rewrites the rulebook, the U.S. is making its own bold move. The President recently signed an executive order to launch the U.S. Digital Dollar. But here’s the gritty truth—it’s a setup where every dollar you spend can be tracked. Every. Single. One.

And here’s the kicker: Even as the Republicans push back, remember this—the Democrats control both the Senate and the Presidency — and they’re controlling the fate of the digital dollar. This isn’t just a fleeting policy; it’s the new reality. The Digital Dollar isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.

Now, ask yourself this… In a world where your every financial move could be monitored and controlled, where would you rather have your money? In a system that tracks your every purchase? Or in something solid, untraceable, and truly yours?

For a limited time, we’re offering you a FREE guide: The Dawn of the Digital Dollar – What it Means for Your Privacy and Financial Freedom.

Download Your FREE Guide Now >>

This isn’t just another freebie. It’s your blueprint to beat the system. Don’t let your hard-earned money become a pawn in the game of digital domination. Act now. Fortify your financial freedom.

from Marina Zhang

Health Reporter

Good morning!

The United States has an obesity problem, with 22 states reporting that over a third of their adults suffer from obesity.

However, America may be suffering from a muscle crisis rather than an obesity epidemic, which Epoch Health writer and nurse Sher makes the case for in a recent article.

For some people who are obese, losing weight using various drugs may be a bad thing because it can cause them to lose muscle strength and mass, which can be potentially deleterious to their health.

Exercise trains the muscles to become better metabolizers. Trained muscles can help balance calorie and glucose use, reducing the body’s need to store fat for energy.

Apart from weight-loss, another condition where exercise can help is postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), which affects 1 million to 3 million Americans.

POTS is a condition marked by an unusually rapid rise in heart rate when changing from a sitting or lying position to standing, causing light-headedness and even fainting. Though symptoms are often silent, the condition can be very debilitating.

Apart from exercise, one of the cornerstone interventions is to increase water and salt intake to increase blood volume, which can help reduce light-headedness.

Be sure to check out our essential guide on POTS!

Speaking of salt, while high salt intake has often been linked to increased heart risks like hypertension, taking salt reduction to extremes can also harm the heart.

Salt is an essential nutrient, and it is needed to activate heart muscles, and help balance fluids and blood pressure, Flora reports in her premium article.

The cornerstone of POTS treatment is regular fluid intake. In addition, increasing salt intake, either through consuming salty foods or adding more salt to meals, helps retain water in the bloodstream, thus helping more blood reach the heart and brain.

New “Beta” Recommendation for the Selloff

New “Beta Test” Recommendation Just Went Live This Morning, August 6

After yesterday’s brutal selloff…

For the next 72 hours, there’s an incredible situation in our industry.

In short, a man who knows even more billionaires than I do is opening the doors to a “beta test.”

Beginning with a must-see new stock pick he just posted this morning, designed for today’s market shake-up.

It may sound unusual, but he’s looking for a handful of people who want the chance to make money over the next year… in bull or bear markets… by beta testing a new way to see which of 4,817 stocks could double your money.

It’s already crushed the S&P 500 since he first opened the beta test back on January 25, even during a raging bull market.

In June alone, this breakthrough nearly DOUBLED the market’s return.

And despite the AI boom, it has also crushed Microsoft and Apple this year.

If you have the courage to try something new, it’s a completely new way of investing in 2024, which we consider a must-have in today’s market shake-up.

For example, this new strategy has outperformed the market by up to 10-fold since first going live behind the scenes of our affiliate, Stansberry Research.

It’s beaten Warren Buffett over the last two years…

Outperformed gold by up to twice over… bitcoin by up to 20-fold… crushed almost all of the Magnificent 7… and more.

Just keep in mind: Doors close on Thursday, in less than 72 hours.

Until then, click here to learn more.
