Who decided to buy GOOGL? Buffett's latest reveal: It was me. Buying Google was because it meets the criteria of a good stock: 1. Strong company moat, strong earning power, and long-term returns higher than bonds! 2. Reasonable and affordable stock price 3. Strong management team Berkshire Hathaway currently holds $31 billion worth of Google shares. Last month, a private placement invested $10 billion, making it Berkshire's 4th largest holding! However, compared to Google and AI, he actually prefers businesses like AAPL and AXP that he understands better.
