Abandon AI! Trump sells Meta and PLTR, adds to Buffett:
Reducing holdings
1. Meta $META
Sold $1 million-$5 million. As a large technology and social advertising giant, it has a large user base and strong advertising monetization capabilities, but its valuation is high, regulatory pressure is significant, and it is clearly affected by overall tech stock volatility. It is suitable for taking some profits first when the market is concerned about monetary policy.
2. Motorola $MSI
Sold $1 million-$5 million. A leader in public safety communications equipment, with stable operations and many government orders, but relatively limited growth potential. As a defensive technology stock, it is prioritized for reduction during portfolio rebalancing to free up funds for other areas.
3. Vanguard Dividend Appreciation Index ETF $VIG
Sold $5 million-$25 million. A blue-chip ETF focused on long-term dividend growth, with low risk and stable returns, but when more flexible rebalancing or greater upside potential is desired, these passive dividend products may be reduced substantially.
4. Palantir $PLTR
Sold multiple times. A high-profile big data analytics and government contracting stock with strong AI exposure and substantial order growth potential, but its share price is highly volatile, so some gains are taken off the table before and after geopolitical news.
5. Coinbase $COIN
Net sold approximately $116,000-$315,000. A leader among cryptocurrency trading platforms, directly benefiting from Bitcoin market performance, but highly affected by the cryptocurrency market’s sharp swings. Holdings are reduced first to control risk when cryptocurrency prices pull back.
6. Northrop Grumman $NOC
A major defense contractor with stable military orders and a deep moat, but it operates in a relatively cyclical industry, so holdings are reduced first during short-term trading.
7. Vanguard Short-Term Bond ETF $BSV, Consumer Discretionary Select Sector SPDR Fund $XLY, European stock market ETFs $VGK , etc.
These bond or regional/sector ETFs provide diversification and stable returns, but are reduced when the overall portfolio shifts toward individual stocks and specific themes.
Increasing holdings
8. Berkshire Hathaway $BRK.B
Bought $1 million-$5 million. Buffett’s conglomerate spans insurance, railroads, energy, consumer products, and other sectors. It has abundant cash and extremely strong long-term compounding capabilities, making it a classic ballast value stock suitable for increasing holdings after market volatility.
9. Cintas $CTAS
Bought $1 million-$5 million. The largest uniform rental and facilities services company in the United States, with high customer retention, stable cash flow, and minimal exposure to major economic cycle shocks. It is a high-certainty defensive growth stock.
10. Visa $V
Bought $1 million-$5 million. One of the global duopoly leaders in credit card payment networks, with an asset-light fee model and extremely high profit margins. It benefits from the long-term increase in electronic payment adoption and has a very deep moat.
11. Mastercard $MA
Bought $1 million-$5 million. A global payments giant similar to Visa, with powerful network effects and pricing power. It has strong cross-border payment growth potential and is a high-quality financial infrastructure asset.
12. Home Depot $HD
Bought $1 million-$5 million. The largest home improvement retailer in the United States, benefiting from strong demand for housing-related consumption, a well-developed store network, and high brand loyalty, as well as the long-term trend toward residential repairs and renovations.
13. Fidelity National Information Services $FIS
Bought $1 million-$5 million. A leader in fintech and payment processing that serves banks and merchants. Its business is stable and has substantial room for digital transformation, making it a core financial infrastructure asset.
