Karee Venema for Kiplinger:

Berkshire Hathaway’s 13F, which was filed Monday afternoon… revealed that Buffett’s collection of stocks actually grew in number during the first three months of 2022.
That was a refreshing change for Buffett followers, who watched the Oracle of Omaha and his team act as net sellers during all four quarters of 2021.
Berkshire’s 13F showed the holding company spent $41.5 billion in net stock purchases in the first quarter – the most since 2008 – putting nearly 30% of its huge cash pile to work in equities over the three-month period.
Buffett and his team clearly used a market dip as a chance to return to buying in 2022, with the S&P 500 down as much as 13% from its all-time high at one point during the quarter… Buffett’s buying spree included topping up his stake in blue chips Apple, which he pounced on after a three-day drop in the Dow Jones stock, buying 3.8 million shares of the tech titan. Berkshire Hathaway’s position in Apple now accounts for 42.8% of the Berkshire Hathaway equity portfolio.
