The "Oracle of Omaha," Warren Buffett, stated in a recent interview that he remains deeply involved in the investment decisions of Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A) despite stepping down as CEO. He mentioned making a very small new investment recently. Buffett explained that he continues to work from the office daily, closely monitors market developments, and collaborates with colleagues on trading choices. He described his routine, which includes calling Berkshire's head of financial assets, Mark Millard, before the market opens to discuss market movements. Millard's office is located about 20 feet away and executes trades based on these discussions. Buffett emphasized that, even after handing over the CEO role to Greg Abel in early 2026, he maintains a hands-on approach. He noted, "I won't make any investments that Abel considers inappropriate... Abel receives a daily investment report." When asked about new investments, Buffett confirmed a recent "very small purchase" but provided no further details. He downplayed the impact of recent market volatility, stating current conditions are far from the significant buying opportunities seen in the past. "Since I took over, the market has fallen by more than 50% at least three times. There's nothing exciting about the current situation," he said. Buffett also revealed that Berkshire purchased $17 billion in U.S. Treasury bills during this week's auction. Previously, Berkshire's year-end report showed it holds over $370 billion in cash equivalents, mostly in U.S. Treasuries. Regarding Apple (AAPL) stock, Buffett admitted selling too early and expressed willingness to increase holdings in the future, but not under current market conditions. "I sold too early. But I bought earlier, so it is what it is," he remarked. Despite Apple's stock falling more than 14% from recent highs and over 6% this month, he sees limited appeal at present.
