00:00 Berkshire Hathaway, the billionaire's global company, has jumped its operating profits in the first quarter of 2024,
00:10 by about 39% from the first quarter of last year,
00:15 while its share price has fallen by about 13% to the Apple shares,
00:24 which means it has sold about 115 million shares of Apple.
00:28 But why?
00:30 Berkshire Hathaway responded to the press by saying that he has lowered his share price to protect companies from paying high taxes
00:39 as a result of the investments or the large profits that he has made as a result of his investments in Apple shares,
00:45 and there is no negative future outlook on the shares.
00:49 He also lowered his share price to Bank of America by 1%, and raised his share price significantly to American Express by 38%,
00:58 Coca-Cola by 4%, and Chevron Energy by 3%.
01:05 As a result of lowering his share price to Apple shares,
01:09 the company's share price has risen by 189 billion dollars in the first quarter of 2024.
01:19 In this statement, we notice that the company's share price is consistent with the market's performance.
01:28 Why?
01:29 First, because the company's stock is diverse compared to American stocks,
01:33 which are included in the S&P 500, and the price of a share is more than $600,000 for one share.
01:42 But why?
01:43 Usually, when the share price rises, the company shares in a stock split,
01:51 which makes it possible for all investors to trade without lowering the market value of the company.
01:58 But Warren Buffett prefers to keep the share price high to attract a certain group of investors,
02:04 thus protecting him from the fluctuations of the market price in the event of a crisis or financial problems.
02:13 Warren Buffett also decided to buy shares instead of sharing profits.
02:20 Why does Buffett buy shares instead of sharing profits?
02:23 In contrast to CNBC, Warren Buffett said in 2018 that the policy of sharing profits should be stable and not lower.
02:35 Therefore, he prefers not to adhere to the policy of profits and instead of that, he buys shares.
02:41 So this was the performance of Berkshire Hathaway in the first quarter of 2024.
