As Warren Buffet is arguably the worlds most successful investor I think it’s worth the time to periodically check his holdings to see where he’s deployed his capital. The below chart lists his holdings as of September 30, 2007. Although, this information is around 4 months old Warren Buffet is a very long term investor and has been quoted as saying “Our favourite holding period is forever” as such I don’t think the composition of his portfolio would have changed in any significant way since September.

Sometimes a person can be so wealthy that he loses touch with the common man. According to popular myth, Marie Antoinette was so divorced from the plight of the peasants that hearing they had no bread to eat, suggested "qu’ils mangent de la brioche" ("Let them eat cake").
Warren Buffet, fluctuating between being the second or third richest man in America, has informed us that he (and by extension, every rich person) pays too little in income taxes in terms of percentage. As for proof, he confessed that his effective tax rate is 17.7%. Then taking 15 volunteers from his office personnel in Omaha, Nebraska calculated that not one had an effective tax rate below 32.9%.
Of course, this is all smoke and mirrors. Mr. Buffett pays exactly the same rate on the first $102,000 of income as do his employees. Since FICA taxes stop at that point, anyone making more than that amount will have a lower tax rate. But why should rich people continue paying the FICA tax on the rest of their inc

Sorry for the late post but I had to attend some training that I had forgot this morning. Anyways...I just wanted to share this interesting article that I came across: The Complete Users Guide to Warren Buffet The article describes “four savvy strategies for intelligently capitalizing on Buffett's wisdom”. The basic premise of the article is that investors shouldn’t focus on Buffets' long term holdings but instead focus on his recent acquisitions (ie- JNJ, UNH, PKX) and on the long term macro trends that Buffet has identified in the market (ie- retiring baby boomers, China). The article also reassured me that my recent decision to buy JNJ for the long term was valid. It’s worth a read.
If you don't already know, Warren Buffet shared with investors, his 2006 Berkshire Hathaway portfolio today. The list only contains companies that make up at least $700 million worth of investment in his portfolio. New additions for 2006 were Johnson & Johnson (JNJ), Posco (PKX), Conoco Phillips (COP), US Bankcorp (USB) and Tesco. Following are his holdings: While a couple of undiclosed names are missing, there are a couple of things I would like to mention. First that as long as Warren Buffet is ok, Berkshire Hathaway and all the stocks that are part of its portfolio will be ok. If something were to happen to Buffet (health wise), these stocks will be in some trouble. Until then, if you own any of these, you should be ok. The ones I lke from this group are USG (I have been bullish since the first time Buffet bought this), COP, WTM and PKX if you want to own anything from this list.-- Faisal LaljeeFull Disclosure: I do not own any of the stocks above except USG, but my position mi
