The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Where is the list of the major investment holdings at year end?

Which leads to the next question, why would it be excluded?


The detail is in the 10-K and 13-F where it always has been. Buffett only puts an a summary table in the letter when he wants to make a wider point.

From the 10-K

Approximately 75% of the aggregate fair value was concentrated in five companies (American Express Company ' $22.4
billion; Apple Inc. ' $119.0 billion; Bank of America Corporation ' $34.2 billion; The Coca-Cola Company ' $25.4 billion
and Chevron Corporation ' $30.0 billion).

Given that 75% of the value is in just 5 companies, I don't think a detailed list adds much more information to the shareholders who of course can find the detail if they so wish in the 13-F and 10-K.
