The Mystery of Warren Buffett's "Secret Buy Positions"
In the disclosure made by Mr. Buffett on the 14th at the end of 23 years $Apple (AAPL.US)$Some stock sales became a hot topic. On the other hand, what caught the eye of observers was the disclaimer in the report that said "We have omitted the publication of one or more stocks." For the second consecutive quarter after the previous report, it hid some of the held stocks. According to SEC rules, the reporter can request the SEC to keep some held stocks secret for three months in order to prevent others from knowing the investment strategy. This time, because the secrecy has continued for two consecutive quarters, it has raised speculation of a major investment. Clues to identify the targeted stocks can be found in the annual report for the year 23, which Berkshire announced on the 24th. Looking at the column of the acquisition cost of held stocks, the portion of "bank, insurance, and other financial stocks" increased by less than 10% compared to the end of September of the same year. The portion at the end of September was also more than 5% higher than at the end of June. Despite not acquiring any additional financial stocks in the second half of 23 according to Form 13F, they exist. It is highly likely that the targeted stocks for the "secret buy" are financial stocks.
