  • But the picture could soon change. Buffett owns one Vanguard ETF that could be poised to plunge, according to a top Wall Street analyst. Buffett hasn't pressed the "easy button" by investing heavily in ETFs. Nearly all of Berkshire's $300 billion-plus equity portfolio is still in individual stocks. However, two ETFs remain in the mix.

The article from The Motley Fool discusses Warren Buffett's investment in the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (VOO), which tracks the performance of the S&P 500 Index. Despite Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway holding significant stakes in individual stocks like Apple, Coca-Cola, and American Express, his endorsement of an S&P 500 index fund, particularly through his will where he has instructed that 90% of his wife's inheritance be invested in such a fund, underscores his belief in the long-term value of broad market exposure. The article highlights that the S&P 500 has historically provided an average annual return of about 10% before inflation, suggesting that this ETF could be a prudent choice for investors looking for a simple, yet potentially rewarding investment strategy. It also notes that while Buffett's portfolio includes many individual stocks, his recommendation of an S&P 500 fund reflects his confidence in the overall market's growth over time.
