The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation ( BMGF ) engages in various philanthropic activities around the world.

As of June 2024 , the BMGF Trust had $48 billion spread across 23 positions, but 54% of the funds were concentrated in just two stocks: Microsoft ( NASDAQ : MSFT ) and Berkshire Hathaway ( NYSE : BRK.A) Both stocks were brilliant investments over the last three years in that they handily outperformed the S&P 500.

Buffett chose not to repurchase stock during the third quarter of 2024 , the first time he did not buy shares in 25 quarters .

Wall Street expects Berkshire Hathaway 's operating earnings to grow at 5% annually through 2026 .

Buffett seems to agree that Berkshire 's stock is overvalued in his estimation.

Don’t miss this second chance at a potentially lucrative opportunity.
