So Far So Good for One of Warren Buffett's New Stocks
Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.A)(NYSE: BRK.B), the large conglomerate run by legendary investor Warren Buffett, opened a new stake in the large digital consumer bank Ally Financial (NYSE: ALLY) in the first quarter of 2022. Berkshire then followed that up with an even larger purchase of Ally in the second quarter of 2022. Ally has been a hotly debated stock, with many concerned about how its retail auto loan portfolio might perform as used car prices start to normalize after exploding due to the chip shortage caused by the pandemic.
