Chubb.
First thought: old school. Okay.
Spreadsheet. Source here for the top 50 holdings. A great interactive spreadsheet at that link. This is the 1Q24 BRK equity portfolio that I use for myself. It is not meant to replace other sources. I added today's Chubb announcement and updated the top 20 or so holdings. At the annual meeting, 2024, Buffett said he had sold the entirety of his Paramount position, but in the 13F released today there was still a small amount PARA noted.
Disclaimer: I often make typographic and content errors on spreadsheets like this. If this is important to you, go go the source.
The portfolio that tries men's souls.In no particular order. Some are one-year comparisons; some are five-year comparisons:

Currently up about 4.5% after hours.
Link here. One "ticker" I've never understood: CSCO. It remains one of my core holdings. No recommendation. See disclaimers. I've simply had it forever, and have pretty much forgotten about it, although periodically, by rule, I add a bit of new money to my core CSCO holding.
