Health Insurance Coverage Quotes

Textbook Buffett: If shares are plummeting, it might be a good time to buy more.

That, perhaps, explains Berkshire Hathaway’s additions to its holdings of UnitedHealth and Wellpoint during the first quarter of this year, as both companies’ stocks fell sharply.

Berkshire Hathaway bought 300,000 shares of WellPoint and 400,000 shares of UnitedHealth, according to this SEC filing from yesterday.

“If a stock goes down 50 percent it doesn’t bother me in the least,” Buffett said earlier this month, Bloomberg notes “If we’re going to be buying things, we want to buy them on sale.”

Of course, if it was simply a matter of increasing holdings that are falling, we’d all be billionaires. There must be more to it than that. Case in point: Berkshire’s holdings in GlaxoSmithKline didn’t change during the first quarter, despite the fact that the stock price fell sharply. Back to the drawing board.
