Warren Buffet BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Warren Buffett has been making headlines in recent days for a series of moves and market reflections with potential long-term significance especially as he approaches retirement at the end of this year at age 95 according to Nasdaq. The biggest news surrounds his $68 billion wager on just two major artificial intelligence stocks—Apple and Amazon. Despite often positioning himself as not particularly tech-savvy, Buffett now has more than 22 percent of Berkshire Hathaway's assets tied up in these two companies. Apple remains his crown jewel both for its aggressive $796 billion share buyback program and the new Apple Intelligence push unveiled in June. He values Apple for its unwavering brand loyalty and the powerful growth potential of its subscription services, which are outpacing hardware sales. Amazon, accounting for another $2.3 billion of Berkshire’s assets, features heavily thanks to the explosive growth and AI-centric evolution of its Amazon Web Services platform. AWS is riding a $123 billion annual sales run-rate and is deeply embedded in generative AI and large language models—a space Buffett evidently sees as foundational for future cash flow and Berkshire’s long-term value.

Berkshire Hathaway itself saw a notable 0.45 percent dip on volumes of $1.78 billion, putting it 39th among all U.S. stocks by dollar turnover, as reported on September 15. Behind the scenes, Buffett has recently been signaling a more selective approach to new investments—tweaking insurance sector underwriting and riding out competitive pressures. Energy and rail exposures are facing scrutiny from analysts with ongoing debates about how sustainable these infrastructure plays will be, but retail and manufacturing margins at Berkshire remain steady with tempered growth expectations for 2026.

Buffett’s strategic movements are still under the microscope—especially with the endorsement of a sizable new position in Nucor, North America’s leading steel producer. Berkshire built a 3 percent stake through the first half of this year, betting on rising free cash flow generation and a possible recovery in the housing market, according to Nasdaq. Nucor offers income appeal with its 53rd consecutive year of dividend increases.

Social media chatter picked up around last week’s record-breaking S&P 500 close, which sent Buffett’s signature market valuation gauge—the so-called Buffett indicator—above 217 percent, an all-time high. While Buffett has not commented directly on this milestone, AOL points out he’s continued his pattern of net selling for eleven consecutive quarters, echoing his historic warnings about overheated markets but refraining from panic-selling.

There is no substantial evidence of public appearances or unconfirmed gossip making waves in the press or social platforms this week. Buffett remains quiet and focused, cementing his legacy as Wall Street’s most influential investor while carefully orchestrating Berkshire’s next chapter in a world increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence.
