Guess the stocks Ep. 4: Why not be a guru-based investor?
Around 2015, Apple's stock price hovered around the $20 to $30 range for a while. In June 2016, after reaching a local low of $20.516, Apple began an epic ascent. The stock price eventually peaked at $236.955, marking an impressive increase of 1000%, and it still has the potential to rise further.
Coincidentally, Warren Buffett initiated his stake in Apple Inc. in Q1 2016 and continued to increase his holdings, eventually owning about 1 billion shares at its peak. He must have made a fortune. Was it that he foresaw the future trajectory of Apple's stock price, or did investors all mimic his investment moves, thereby driving up the stock price?
In fact, that's not the important part. What truly matters is that Berkshire Hathaway seems to be consistently making money. If we could know their investment moves, wouldn't everything become much simpler?

I think it is gonna perform well as more people have to buy insurance
Company A: $Occidental Petroleum (OXY.US)$
Company B: $Exxon Mobil (XOM.US)$
Company C: $American International Group (AIG.US)$
2)
Company A $Occidental Petroleum (OXY.US)$ had a better percentage gain over company B $Exxon Mobil (XOM.US)$
3)
Ah yes insurance the thing that people doesn't need it until they need it
102362254 : Question 1 -
Company A is $Occidental Petroleum (OXY.US)$
Company B is $Exxon Mobil (XOM.US)$
Company C is $American International Group (AIG.US)$
Question 2 - Occidental Petroleum had a better percentage gain
Question 3 - $American International Group (AIG.US)$ is considered fairly priced with a market cap of about $47.37B. Its strengths include better risk assessment, leading to improved profitability through strong underwriting and active share buybacks aimed at enhancing shareholder value. But, AIG recently missed earnings expectations, which could concern some investors. Even with these challenges, AIG's focus on its main operations sets it up well for future growth.
Spiffington : My guesses are:
Q1:
A = $Occidental Petroleum (OXY.US)$
B = $Chevron (CVX.US)$
C = $Chubb Ltd (CB.US)$
Q2:
Based on the comparison chart for the last 3 years, it looks like $Occidental Petroleum (OXY.US)$ had the most % gain.
Q3:
As Warren Buffet has been accumulating this for the last few quarters and the company is having higher growth than its peers, I think this stock would increase in stock price.
Hase Investment King : Q1:
Company A: $Occidental Petroleum (OXY.US)$
Company B: $Exxon Mobil (XOM.US)$
Company C: $American International Group (AIG.US)$
Q2:
Company A had a better percentage gain.
Q3: $American International Group (AIG.US)$ ‘s future looks solid with strong market presence, ongoing digital innovation, and expansion in emerging markets. It's financially stable post-2008, focusing on risk management and ESG, while navigating regulatory challenges.
ZnWC : 1)
Company A: $Occidental Petroleum (OXY.US)$
Company B: $Exxon Mobil (XOM.US)$
Company C: $American International Group (AIG.US)$
2)
Company A $Occidental Petroleum (OXY.US)$ had a better percentage gain over company B $Exxon Mobil (XOM.US)$
3) My future prospect of AIG is short term bearish. Deutsche Bank downgraded the price target for shares of AIG to $86 from $87 while still keeping a Buy rating on the stock. AIG's asset disposals and the deconsolidation of CRBG have introduced short-term disruption. Despite these adjustments, AIG reported +38% YoY EPS in Q2 2024.
