Buffett makes huge new investments very, very rarely. Three in the last 5 years.

Apple: buying began in 2016.

The 5 major Japanese trading houses (the sogo sosha -- Itochu, etc.): buying began in early 2019.

Verizon: buying began in late 2020.

They all trade at or near Berkshire's price, if not far below, and you get one new idea every few years.

There are other new purchases (Chevron, Kroger, AbbVie, Aon, RH, etc.), but these are small, lower-confidence positions that are often sold as soon as the price rises far enough. Probably Weschler and Combs, not Buffett.
