Warren Buffett continues to advocate for investing in quality stocks during market dips, despite recent downturns affecting many of Berkshire Hathaway's holdings.

Historically, Amazon has shown resilience, consistently growing its revenue even during economic downturns.
Cognition AI Inc., an AI-powered coding tools startup, has raised new funding, increasing its valuation to nearly $4 billion, up from $2 billion last year.

Warren Buffett's investment strategy emphasizes buying quality stocks during market dips, with Apple, Amazon, and American Express highlighted as top picks despite recent declines. Apple faces challenges with its AI offerings and iPhone growth expectations, while Amazon's diverse revenue streams and American Express's affluent customer base suggest resilience against economic downturns.

The Magnificent 7—Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, Meta, Tesla, Nvidia, and Alphabet—have seen a 23% decline over 12 weeks since their peak in mid-December. This downturn coincides with a notable shift towards Chinese equities, which have outperformed the SP500 by 23% this quarter, driven by moderate valuations and upcoming measures to boost consumption in China.Factors contributing to the weakness in US equities include geopolitical tensions, trade wars, and consumer uncertainty, with no immediate changes expected in investor sentiment. Technically, the Magnificent 7 may drop another 10% before reaching critical support levels.
