Warren Buffett’s New Investments & Full Berkshire Portfolio ScanHi, In today’s post, I’ll discuss Buffett’s latest moves, which led me to analyze Berkshire Hathaway’s entire portfolio. I’ve identified 10 interesting stocks - two of them are here on TradingView, while the rest are available on my Substack (ENG) channel. You can find the link in my bio by clicking the Website icon or simply copy/pasting it. First, the latest moves: In Q4 2024, Warren Buffett, the legendary investor behind Berkshire Hathaway, made bold portfolio adjustments. His firm entered a new position in Constellation Brands (STZ), a leading beer and spirits maker, and increased stakes in Domino’s Pizza (DPZ), Pool Corp (POOL), Occidental Petroleum (OXY), and Sirius XM (SIRI). At the same time, Berkshire significantly reduced its holdings in Bank of America (BAC) and Citigroup (C), while exiting Ulta Beauty (ULTA) completely. After aggressively trimming its Apple (AAPL) stake earlier in the year, Berkshire left its position unchanged in Q4. New Investments and Increased Positions + Constellation Brands (STZ): New 1B investment in the beverage giant behind Corona and Modelo. + Domino's Pizza (DPZ): Nearly doubled its stake, adding $550M—betting on continued growth. + Pool Corporation (POOL): Increased holdings in this niche but promising leisure and home improvement play. + Occidental Petroleum (OXY): Expanded to 264.2M shares, maintaining a bullish oil and gas stance. A separate filing earlier this month revealed Buffett added more in February + Sirius XM Holdings (SIRI): Added 5M shares, bringing ownership to 35%, reinforcing confidence in media. Reductions and Exits - Bank of America (BAC): Cut stake by 15%, selling 95M shares, reducing ownership below 9%. - Citigroup (C): Slashed holdings by 75%, offloading 40.6M shares worth $2.4B. - Ulta Beauty (ULTA): Fully exited, reallocating capital elsewhere. Technical breakdown Considering Buffett’s latest portfolio moves, I decided to analyze all Berkshire Hathaway stocks from a technical perspective. While Buffett is known for his long-term fundamental approach, the key question is: - Are there any technical setups that allow us to follow his investments? - Do any of these stocks present strong breakout opportunities or key reversal points? I reviewed the charts and found several interesting setups. Here are my findings. 1. Occidental Petroleum (OXY) Sector: Energy – Oil & Gas Exploration and Production Berkshire Hathaway’s Holding: 264.2 million shares (~27.2% ownership) Portfolio Weight: Approximately $12.8 billion (4.7%) Occidental Petroleum is a leading oil and gas producer, primarily operating in the U.S., Middle East, and Latin America. It also has a chemical division (OxyChem) and is investing in carbon capture technologies for sustainable energy. From a technical perspective, I have been watching this stock for a long time, waiting for the right setup. I avoided recommending it in 2023–2024 due to a strong downtrend line that has consistently acted as resistance. This trendline has been a game changer in previous price movements, leading to repeated selling pressure. Looking at the bigger picture, the liquidity grab in 2020 and the rally that followed signaled a potential shift in a trend. While breakouts from major downtrends take time, I focus on timing my entries as close to perfect as possible. We saw strong momentum in 2021 and 2022, followed by a current controlled pullback. My key area remains between $40 and $50 - a historically significant level that aligns with the current price structure. Now that OXY is inside this zone, the technical conditions suggest a solid opportunity to follow one of Buffett’s latest moves. 2. Diageo plc (DEO) Sector: Consumer Non-Durables – Alcoholic Beverages Berkshire Hathaway’s Holding: 227,750 shares (~0.03% ownership) Portfolio Weight: Approximately $24.5 million (~0.01% of the portfolio) Diageo plc, a British multinational company, is a global leader in alcoholic beverages, boasting a diverse portfolio that includes renowned brands such as Johnnie Walker, Smirnoff, Baileys, and Guinness. From a technical analysis standpoint, DEO has experienced a gradual decline of over 50% from its all-time high, positioning the stock inside my marked support zone between $90 and $110. Key technical factors: - Historical Support: around $90, which previously acted as a strong resistance and later served as minor support after the breakout. - Liquidity Considerations: The area just below $100 can acted as a liquidity zone, potentially serving as a strong support level. - Fibonacci Retracement: Applying the Fibonacci retracement from all-time lows to highs indicates that the 62% retracement level aligns within this zone, adding credence to its significance. I don’t use it as much as before since drawing from midpoints doesn’t provide a strong edge. However, when aligned with all-time lows or highs and matching my marked area, it becomes a solid factor in my criteria. Given these technical indicators, the $90 to $110 range emerges as a potential reversal zone. Within this, the $90 to $100 segment appears particularly robust. Investors should monitor this area closely for signs of a trend reversal or consolidation, which could present a strategic entry point. ------- These are just two of the 10 stocks I found interesting in Berkshire Hathaway’s portfolio. If you want to see the full breakdown and my take on the rest, head over to my Substack (ENG) channel. You’ll find the link in my bio under the Website icon, or you can copy/paste it directly. See you there! Cheers, Vaido

OXY: Bullish Breakout PotentialA break above the 50.80 level could confirm the stock is ready to clear its descending channel and shift momentum in favor of the bulls. This price has acted as a pivotal zone in recent sessions, and a decisive close above it would suggest the downtrend may be reversing. A surge in volume above 50.80 would further strengthen the long setup, potentially targeting the high 50s or low 60s if buyers follow through. The RSI on this 2W chart is hovering near the middle (accumulation) range. It’s neither showing an extreme overbought nor deeply oversold condition. That gives price room to run in either direction.

Occidental Petroleum (OXY) Shares Drop to 2.5-Year LowOccidental Petroleum (OXY) Shares Drop to 2.5-Year Low Shares of Occidental Petroleum Corporation (OXY), the sixth-largest holding in Warren Buffett’s portfolio, have fallen to their lowest level since April 2022. According to Yahoo Finance, Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway increased its stake in Occidental Petroleum to nearly 30% this summer. But could Buffett be wrong this time? As the chart shows, OXY shares have reached a 2.5-year low. Meanwhile, analysts are lowering their price targets for OXY shares: → Citigroup cut its target from $65 to $62; → Wolfe Research reduced its target from $83 to $82; → Susquehanna lowered its target from $81 to $78. However, technical analysis suggests some reasons for bullish optimism: → Drawing an upward channel based on the points indicated by arrows shows that the price is nearing the lower boundary of the channel, which may provide strong support and even lead to a bullish reversal. → The lower boundary is further reinforced by the psychological level of $50 per share. → The RSI indicator is at levels last seen during the panic of spring 2020, suggesting that Occidental Petroleum (OXY) shares may be oversold and undervalued.

USO is in a sweet spot on its chart LONGUSO while the middle east, the Houthi rebels and the Suez Canal shipping quagmire affect oil liquidity globally and prices at the pump continue to be volatile the federal government seeks contracts to restore the national strategic reserves depleted in the last supply demand challenge while the presidential and congressional election cycle starts warming up. On the weekly chart, USO has just crossed over the long term anchored mean VWAP line as well as the POC line of the volume profile. This is a bullish momentum move. Price is situated in the middle of the high volume area showing expectations of decent trading volume and liquidity. I see this as an opportunity to take long trades in oil or anything oil related. CVX is on sale after a drop after the morning open. i will look at oilfield services stocks, big oil and oil futures.

USDUSD Oil Prices react to Middle EastOn Thursday January 11th ( earlier today) WTI Crude prices gyrated widely likely in reaction to US /UK intervention on the terrorists who seized a tanker on the behalf of Iraq in the Red Sea / Suez Canal area putting shipping and supply concerns into the oil industry to offset any weak demand. The 15 minute chart shows a megaphone pattern as a demonstration of waves of relative volatility in price action. I have a position shorting oil and will now close that position as I see a long entry developing here. US companies that use rail and pipeline matching domestic production to consumption are less impacted by this oceanic shipping issue. I will focus on them especially. OXY is at the top of the list and then MRO.

CVX drops and then starts to recover LONGCVX today dropped suddenly for unclear reasons. The possibility of a Israeli - Hamas War cease-fire may have led to expectations that oil prices would fall as the shipping quagmire in the Red Sea might stabilize. Later in the day OPEC+ announced a raised target of $ 1.00 per barrel higher which on balance seems to be an offset maneuver. CVS in the drop lost 2% printed a bear flag in about 90 minutes. i will use this opportunity to buy some all options for September after the height of the summer driving seasons to add to my positions in the futures ETF USO and OXY.

Occidental Petroleum Corp.: Bullish Bias. ContinuationTo be successful on Wall Street, it is important to be flexible and be able to recognize changing market winds - the patterns that tell investors when to get in and out of the market. Sometimes a breeze is a warm and inviting wind: assets rise in value, and it seems that everyone is making money. Other times, it turns into a violent storm, leaving in its wake financial destruction, memories of the past, and hope that better times are yet to come. Occidental Petroleum Corporation (often abbreviated as Oxy in reference to the symbol and logo) is an American company engaged in hydrocarbon exploration in the United States and the Middle East, as well as petrochemical production in the United States, Canada and Chile. The oil company, among other Value Investing Assets, has become one of the main beneficiaries of the weakening and reversal of WFH ("Working From Home") disinflationary trends that quickly shook the entire financial world against the backdrop of the Covid-19 pandemic in Q1 2020. But faded also just as quickly, while since the first quarter of 2021, in two years, many growth assets have been undermined, rocked by scandals, or completely destroyed. It was revealed in March that Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway added more shares to an already large bet on Occidental Petroleum, according to an SEC Form 4 report released on March 7, 2023. The Buffett conglomerate bought nearly 5.8 million shares of the oil company over multiple trading sessions in March, at prices ranging from $59.85 to $61.90, according to the documents. Berkshire now owns 200.2 million shares of Occidental, totaling 22.2% of the oil company's shares, up from 21.4% previously. Occidental shares are currently among the top 10 Berkshire holdings. The energy company outperformed the S&P 500 index last year, more than doubling in price. In March, Occidental CEO Vicki Hollub said in an interview with CNBC that she met with the 92-year-old investor, noting that they talked about the oil and gas industry and related technologies. Last August, Berkshire received regulatory approval to buy up to 50% of Occidental, sparking speculation that Berkshire could eventually buy out the entire Occidental company. Berkshire also owns $10 billion of preferred shares in Occidental and has warrants to buy another 83.9 million shares of common stock for $5 billion, or $59.62 each. The warrants were obtained as part of the company's 2019 deal that helped finance the purchase of Anadarko Occidental. While many investors even now continue to believe in the crypto-snow that melted without a trace the winter before last, the technical picture indicates the possibility of Growth comtinuation in value investment assets, incl. Occidental Petroleum - after the completion of the 0.618x Fibonacci retrace to the Growth that began later to Russian President "Special Military Operation" announcement in Q1'22. Also, the support of weekly SMA (200) in CL1! - Crude Oil Futures adds bullish bias to market participants.

MRO US Oil LongThe US Energy Department has announced open bids for oil contracts to replenish the national strategic reserve which was depleted during the prior run up on global oil prices. This is a sure sign that the feds think that spot oil has but in a bottom especially in the context of shipping disruptions and higher insurance costs due to terrorism /piracy in the area of the Red Sea and Suez Canal. In the meanwhile two South American countries are having sovereignty disputes over oil fields and the British Navy is offshore to buttress the interests of Guyana. MRO is a domestic oil producer that is independent of Middle East issues. Its oil is consumed mostly in the US with a little shipping to Asia only. On the 50 minute chart, price downtrended from January 3th through and then below the high volume area of the volume profile. Price has reversed back up and reapproached the evolving high volume area. The dual TF MACD ( by Chris Moody) shows moving average divergence. Chris Moody's dual TF RSI indicator shows the faster TF RSI rising over the slower TF RSI as a sign of bullish momentum. I have taken both a stock and call options position in MRO having zoomed into the 15 minute TF for a good entry. Given the level of challenges current geopolitics presents to smooth flowing and inexpensive shipping of crude oil, I am expectant of significant gains in these positions. I have also looked into a position in OXY and CVE, which is a Canadian crude producer.
