But the Oracle of Omaha is undeterred by the wildness on Wall Street. Berkshire Hathaway is still buying and many of the the company's diverse business lines are still thriving, even in these uncertain economic times.
Berkshire Hathaway reported Saturday that the massive conglomerate posted a net loss of nearly $44 billion in the second quarter, red ink that was due mostly to a big drop in the value of Berkshire's significant stock portfolio. Berkshire owns large stakes in Apple , Bank of America , Coca-Cola , Chevron and American Express . Those five stocks make up nearly 70% of the portfolio. Chevron and Coke have both rallied this year but tech stocks and financials have been significant market losers.
