Q: I noticed that Warren Buffet has sold his positions in VOO and SPY . Given that he may have just been using them for a holding pattern, that did not bother me too much. But, now I see that he is investing in Japan. This makes you think that he might have found something worth investing in. Do you think that may be the case in a strong way and that it may be profitable to follow his lead? If so, would the above mentioned value etf be the right choice or might there be something better? I don’t want to own the individual stocks.
Thanks as always
