Quora Answer: Can You See Warren Edward Buffett’s Portfolio Live & Copy His Investments?


In real time, no.  However, Berkshire Hathaway’s portfolio is reported quarterly, and people track it.  That does not mean you can copy it, however, unless you have that sort of wealth and support that Berkshire Hathaway has.  For example, as a marquee investor, Berkshire Hathaway is much sought after, and can pick and choose their deals.  They have the sort of early access that others will not.

Also, because of their status, whatever they put money in will be an immediate buy for smaller investors.  That means, any person who follows after then is always buying at a premium.  That rise in stock value is due to market sentiment, and may not be commensurate to the actual value of the stock.

Finally, to reiterate my first point, how many people have the funds to take, for example, a 5% stake in Apple, and negotiate a seat on the board?  This would be like a guppy trying to swim with whale sharks.
