$1,000 invested in Apple ten years ago is now worth over $7,000

Buffet, who bought an additional 75 million Apple shares during the first quarter, confirmed in a CNBC interview that he added more Apple to his investment vehicle's portfolio after the end of last year. Part of that interview can be seen by tapping on the video at the top of this story. He know controls 240.3 million shares of Apple, believed to make up 25% of his portfolio.
"The idea that you're going to spend loads of time trying to guess how many iPhone X ... are going to be sold in a three-month period totally misses the point."-Warren Buffet, chairman and CEO, Berkshire Hathaway
Keep in mind that Apple's performance over the last decade is not typical. Still, many of the companies in the wireless industry have done quite well including Google, which Buffet admits that he missed and should have invested in years ago instead of IBM. During Friday's stockholder meeting for Buffet's Berkshire Hathaway holding company, the Oracle of Omaha said that besides Apple, other tech companies he likes include Amazon, Microsoft, Google parent Alphabet and Facebook. He praised their business models, noting that they no longer need additional funding to run.
