Warren Buffett is one of the most widely followed investment managers in the world. And there's good reason for that.

Investors often turn to Warren Buffett for advice for one good reason: He's proven his ability to navigate any investing waters -- from moments of euphoria to the doldrums -- and win over time. Buffett doesn't rush to buy the hottest stocks as markets soar and doesn't panic-sell during difficult periods.

Here's a look at the stocks Berkshire Hathaway bought during the recent market selloff.

Warren Buffett hasn't seen a lot to like in the stock market for some time now. The Berkshire Hathaway CEO has sold more equities from the conglomerate's investment portfolio than he's added to it in each of the last eight quarters.

In the second half of 2023, Warren Buffett's extensive selling, particularly of Bank of America (NYSE: BAC) shares, spooked many traders about the state of the economy as the legendary ‘Oracle of Omaha' built a massive cash pile.

Warren Buffett is known for advising investors to stay within their circle of competence, which means not buying or even considering businesses or industries that the investor cannot understand. He has also said that he missed out on many big opportunities in the technology sector because he didn't truly understand the industry dynamics.

Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway owns one of the world's most closely watched stock portfolios. It holds stakes in 46 stocks and exchange-traded funds that are worth $296.8 billion, or 30% of its entire market capitalization.
