Warren Buffett downplayed recent stock market swings, calling them insignificant in the grand scheme.
🔹 Buffett’s Take:
“This has not been a dramatic bear market,” he said at Berkshire Hathaway’s annual meeting.
He reminded investors that Berkshire stock has dropped 50% three times in its history — but it’s up 19% this year and just hit a record high.
🔹 Market Recap:
- The S&P 500 is down ~3% in 2025
- It was down over 19% from its record high at one point
- A recent rebound erased losses tied to Trump’s April 2 “Liberation Day” tariff announcement
🔹 Buffett’s Advice:
- Markets are full of surprises — don’t get rattled
- If a 15% dip affects your strategy, you need a new one
“The world won’t adapt to you. You have to adapt to the world.”
