  • Warren Buffett Shifts from Bonds to U.S. Stocks Amid Market Fear
    January 25, 2026, 5:05 PM EST. Warren Buffett is moving his investments from government bonds to American stocks, citing long-term faith in the strength of U.S. companies. Writing in 2008 during widespread market anxiety, Buffett emphasized his core philosophy: "Be fearful when others are greedy, and be greedy when others are fearful." Despite short-term economic turmoil and high unemployment risks, he views current market fear as a buying opportunity. Buffett warns against investing in weak or highly leveraged businesses but remains confident in the resilience and future growth of the broader U.S. market. He advises investors not to wait for full economic recovery before investing, signaling potential significant stock market gains ahead.
