As tech stocks experience a significant downturn, a notable pattern has emerged among wealthy investors who are strategically repositioning their portfolios away from the technology sector.
Industry titan Warren Buffett made waves by divesting 115 million Apple shares in the previous year. Similarly, renowned hedge fund manager David Tepper demonstrated his shifting market perspective by selling 600,000 Amazon shares during 2024’s fourth quarter. Even Microsoft’s Bill Gates has been gradually distancing himself from the tech giant he founded, redirecting his substantial wealth elsewhere.

These high-profile investment moves share a common thread: influential investors are systematically reducing their technology exposure while increasing their stakes in an alternative market sector.
Former presidential advisor Jim Rickards offers an intriguing perspective on these developments, suggesting they’re partially influenced by an unprecedented presidential action taken by Donald Trump. According to Rickards, Trump’s unique initiative could potentially unlock a staggering $150 trillion in wealth. Notably, this capital isn’t expected to flow into technology stocks.
Warren Buffett just made his biggest move ever:
He sold $75 billion worth of stocks, including huge chunks of Apple.
Now he's sitting on around $277 billion in cash – the largest pile in Berkshire's history.

Instead, Rickards anticipates this substantial sum will be concentrated in a specific market segment that’s considerably smaller than industry heavyweight Nvidia. During a recent discussion, Rickards shared his detailed analysis of the situation.
