Known for his long buy and hold strategies and his massive portfolio of public and private holdings, Buffett remains one of the preeminent investors in the entire world.This week, everyone on Wall Street anticipates the first increase in the federal funds rate in years, and yields across the Treasury curve have all spiked after a recent round of buying last month prompted by the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

For years, the “Oracle of Omaha” has had a rock-star-like presence in the investing world. His annual Berkshire Hathaway shareholders meeting draws thousands of loyal fans who are investors. Known for his long buy and hold strategies and his massive portfolio of public and private holdings, Buffett remains one of the preeminent investors in the entire world.This week, everyone on Wall Street anticipates the first increase in the federal funds rate in years, and yields across the Treasury curve have all spiked after a recent round of buying last month prompted by the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
