Warren Buffett's 2024 Strategy: Selling GM And Activision, Buying Atlanta Braves–Here's Why

Warren Buffett's 2024 strategy is shaking up Wall Street. The Oracle of Omaha isn't sticking to the sidelines and his moves have everyone talking. While Buffett is known for his long-term focus, he's been busy making some significant changes to Berkshire Hathaway's portfolio, both in 2023 and continuing into 2024. 

Don't Miss:

• A billion-dollar investment strategy with minimums as low as $10 — you can become part of the next big real estate boom today.
• Warren Buffett once said, "If you don't find a way to make money while you sleep, you will work until you die." These high-yield real estate notes that pay 7.5% – 9% make earning passive income easier than ever.

First off, Buffett has sold off his stakes in General Motors and Activision Blizzard. That's right – completely gone. For Activision, it was all about timing. Microsoft's acquisition of the gaming company went through and Buffett saw an opportunity. He had been holding onto Activision as an arbitrage play, waiting for the deal to close. Once it did, Berkshire cashed out, reportedly raking in $1.2 billion. 

General Motors? That's a bit more surprising. Buffett had been a longtime supporter of the auto giant but decided to sell off his entire $848 million stake. The auto industry has been hit with challenges from rising interest rates and shifting economic conditions, so it appears Buffett decided it was time to exit.

Speaking of opportunities, one of Buffett's more unexpected moves is his investment in the Atlanta Braves. Yes, the baseball team. Berkshire Hathaway bought about $8 million worth of shares in Atlanta Braves Holdings. Sports teams aren't typically Buffett's game, but the Braves have been performing well and sports franchises often have loyal fan bases and steady revenues. In times of market volatility, that kind of stability can be appealing.

But that's not all. In 2024, Buffett has also been buying into Sirius XM Holdings and Liberty Sirius XM Series A/C. Both of these investments are tied to the entertainment sector, signaling Buffett's continued interest in areas that can provide predictable cash flow and growth, even during uncertain market times.

Also in 2024, Buffett made other notable moves, including a reduction in Apple stock – cutting his stake by over 50% while still holding a dominant position. His strategy this year seems to be all about balancing his portfolio between steady performers and fresh opportunities.

So, what's the take-away? Buffett isn't just selling because he's worried about the economy. He's adjusting, looking for value in unexpected places and positioning Berkshire Hathaway for the long haul.
