The Warren Buffett Portfolio -- July 17, 2022

Updates

July 19, 2022:July 19, 2022: BRK purchased another 1.94 million shares of OXY giving the company (BRK) an $11.4 billion stake and putting it nearer a threshold where it could record some of the oil company's earnings with its own. 

• From below:
• 143,162,392
• add 1.94 million
• = 145,102,392 shares at today's closing price, $62.82 = $9.115 billion, so I don't know the reason for the delta, $9.115 billion vs $11.4 billion (warrants?)
  

Original Post

BRK: 52 stocks in the portfolio. I read "53" everywhere, but count them at this link. I must have missed one. Unless the 53rd is "BRK" itself.

• except for AAPL, not one of the other tickers will move the needle over the next five years, with possibly the exception of one (CVX)
  
• dollar value, percent of total portfolio:
• AAPL: 38.4%
• CVX: 8.2%
• BAC: 10.7%
• K: 7.5%
• AXP: 7.1%

Nothing else comes close.

Two questions / observations: 

• why does BRK hold 45+ tickers that have no impact whatsoever on his portfolio. I think I have an idea, but I've never seen it discussed. 
• along that same line, why 40 tickers with less than 1% of entire portfolio. Talk about a lot of distracting background noise.
  

But this is the bigger observation.

My hunch: Buffett thinks about this every waking moment and in his dreams:

• in round numbers, he owns 20% of OXY, and possibly more if one throws in warrants, etc; and,
• despite owning all that OXY, it still represents only 2.8% of his total portfolio (not including BRK shares)
• in other words, for all the OXY he has bought and all the ink spilled on his obsession with OXY, it doesn't amount to a heck of a lot in the big scheme of things (yet);
  
• he could sell forty of his "non-exciting" tickers and buy all of OXY at a huge discount right now
