Not quite the story though is it?Originally posted by DimPrawn View Post
It doesn't say he lost on his investments; it says his investments 'could' have dropped by 3bn. Now, what we don't know from that article, is if his investments are still in the black since he bought them, or if he is now in the red.
The article also notes that
a) the coronavirus is likely to be a short term blip for the holdings he has and/
b) Buffet invests in the long term and he's only started holding these assets since 2016.
He is therefore not likely to be selling at this low number, and, given his strategy, will probably buy even more of these shares so when they do rise again he will consolidate even more profits. I get that this may not seem logical to all people, and may be a bit confusing, but hey, that's life.
I therefore refer to my earlier points on a different thread; invest for the long term. Only invest what you can afford to lose. Don't be forced into selling when the markets are dropping because you suddenly need that cash.
Nothing to see here

Air travel is a very difficult business though at the best of times. There is a lot of growing pressure from environmentalists so I'd be wary of it as an industry myself.Originally posted by Andy2 View Postis there an etf for airlines?
