Warren Buffett just shocked Wall Street with a $1.6 billion bet …
When the Oracle of Omaha makes a move, the world watches. And it’s impossible to ignore his recent investment.
In the latest quarterly filing for Berkshire Hathaway, the market learned of Buffett’s massive position in a beaten-down company that’s been under heavy fire from the media, regulators, and investors alike.
- The stock? Down nearly 50% this year.
- The headlines? Brutal.
- The timing? Classic Buffett.
After the filing dropped on Thursday, the market reaction was immediate. Shares spiked 10% during after-hours trading, already a big move for this company …
And the price spiked even higher on Friday.
This momentum is bound to gain steam as the news circulates. Plus, there’s a perfect opportunity for us to play this volatility with cheap shares.
Don’t miss the early price action!
Buffett’s Billion-Dollar Stock Pick
2025 Millionaire Media, LLCThis is the kind of market jolt that traders dream about.
After months of brutal headlines, plunging share prices, and mounting regulatory pressure, one of America’s largest healthcare companies was left to wallow by most investors.
Shares were cut nearly in half in 2025. The company pulled its earnings outlook. Its CEO abruptly stepped down. A Justice Department investigation loomed over its Medicare billing practices …
Then — out of nowhere — the mood flipped.
On Thursday evening, August 14, the SEC dropped a bombshell. Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway disclosed a massive new position worth roughly $1.6 billion.
It wasn’t just Buffett, either. Legendary contrarian Michael Burry and hedge fund titan David Tepper also revealed sizable stakes.
By Friday’s opening bell, traders piled in. The stock roared 14% higher on Friday, marking its biggest gain since 2008 and adding over 200 points to the Dow Jones Industrial Average.
For Buffett, whose hallmark is buying quality companies in moments of maximum pessimism, the timing was classic.
For traders, the sudden surge offered fresh volatility and potential profit opportunities.
The name of this beaten-down giant? UnitedHealth Group Incorporated (NYSE: UNH).
How To Trade This Setup
2025 Millionaire Media, LLCI don’t usually trade stocks with a $300 share price …
Each share is too expensive. And the stock never spikes enough to find solid profits.
The 14% spike on UNH last week was a massive outlier.
But there’s a way to trade this momentum for larger percent gains, while spending less money per share.
For example, Long UNH Daily ETF (NASDAQ: UNHG) is an ETF that tracks UNH at a cheaper share price.
It traded at $17 per share last week compared to UNH’s $300.
And because the share price is cheaper, the percent gain is larger.
UNH spiked 14% on Friday.
The same move for UNHG measured 28%.
Do you see what I mean? The shares are cheaper and there’s more meat on the table.
Plus, the stocks show the exact same price action. Compare the charts below from Friday, every candle represents one trading minute.

My millionaire students and I focus on cheaper stocks because there’s more opportunity for small account traders to grow.
Warren Buffett’s newest investment is a perfect example of this strategy at work.
And it doesn’t stop here …
I’ve traded cheap stock spikes for over two decades. And in that time, I’ve pulled $7.9 million in trading profits from the market, including losses.
My most successful student, Jack Kellogg, has profited $20.3 million since starting in 2017.
These volatile stocks like to follow specific patterns that my millionaire students and I use to profit.
The trades can be quick. The risk is controlled. And there’s ALWAYS a plan.
