The 2025 financial version of "Guns, Germs, and Steel": Guns and precious metals reign supreme! Other "traditional safe havens" collectively fail.

date
24/12/2025
Undoubtedly, gold, as a precious metal, is the clear winner of 2025 among major commodities and "safe haven assets". Apart from gold, almost all other traditional "safe haven" assets have significantly underperformed the US stock market benchmark - the S&P 500 index. This is especially true compared to the skyrocketed over 70% gold spot prices this year.

Buffett's possible motive for significantly reducing his holdings in Verisign in the third quarter of 2025: 3. Verisign Q3 reduction amount: $1.2 billion Background: Berkshire Hathaway began investing in VRSN in 2012 at a cost of approximately $40 per share; in Q4 of 2024, they added to their position at around $200 per share. Motive: The price of VRSN shares had once soared to $266.93, nearing its historical high. This reduction in holdings is likely to prevent the ownership percentage from exceeding 10% - crossing this threshold would trigger additional regulatory disclosures and compliance obligations. This move demonstrates Buffett's precise control over the "passive investment boundary."

Buffett's possible motivation for significantly reducing his holdings in Bank of America in the third quarter of 2025: 2. Bank of America Q3 reduction amount: $1.92 billion Remaining position market value: approximately $29.3 billion Background: Buffett invested $50 billion in the bank after the 2011 financial crisis and held onto it long term. Motivation: With the size of the stock holdings expanding, it is reasonable to partially realize profits. Since the third quarter of 2024, Berkshire Hathaway has been reducing its holdings in BAC for multiple quarters in a row, reflecting a cautious attitude towards the high valuation of the financial sector.

Buffett's possible motive for significantly reducing Apple holdings in the third quarter of 2025: 1. Apple's Q3 reduction amount: $10.6 billion Background: Since the fourth quarter of 2023, Berkshire Hathaway has been reducing its Apple stock almost every quarter. Motive: Buffett has publicly praised Apple and its CEO, Tim Cook, many times, so the reduction is not due to concerns about the company's fundamentals, but because Apple is his largest holding. In times of overall market overvaluation, it naturally becomes his preferred choice for "locking in profits." This move aligns with his consistent principle of "reducing stock exposure when the market is overheated."

Despite the S&P 500 index repeatedly hitting new highs, Warren Buffett has been adopting a more conservative investment strategy over the past three years. As we enter 2025, this trend is becoming increasingly clear - in just the first three quarters, Berkshire Hathaway has sold over $24 billion worth of stocks. Companies that have been reduced or completely sold off include Apple, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, DaVita, D.R. Horton, and Nucor Steel.
