Typically, when Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway buys a stock, it can lead to increased investor confidence and potentially higher stock prices due to the reputation of the firm and the longstanding belief that Buffett buys quality stocks at a quality price."
"Billionaire Bill Ackman just opened a new position in Amazon ( NASDAQ: AMZN) in the second quarter. In fact, he increased his stake by 5.82 million shares for about $1.28 billion. It now makes up about 9.3% of his portfolio. Not only did he buy on the cheap, he picked up more shares as a fan of Amazon CEO Andy Jassy and the potential for AMZN to see greater profit-margin expansion and more revenue growth."
