  • Warren Buffett's Timeless Advice Gains Attention as FTSE 100 Dips Over 5%
    April 4, 2026, 3:49 PM EDT. The blue-chip FTSE 100 index dropped into correction territory last month, falling more than 10% from recent highs amid geopolitical uncertainty. Legendary investor Warren Buffett's advice to "be greedy when others are fearful" resonates in this climate. Buffett's historic strategy involved buying high-quality stocks during market dips, exemplified by his Coca-Cola investment post-1987 crash and Berkshire Hathaway stock repurchases during the 2020 pandemic sell-off. These moves yielded substantial gains-Berkshire's Coke holding is now valued at around $30 billion. Stocks like Coca-Cola HBC on the London Stock Exchange, down over 10%, currently present attractive valuations with reasonable price-to-earnings ratios of around 16 and dividend yields near 3%, though risks remain from geopolitical tension and supply chain challenges.
