With stock markets hitting record highs, even the biggest names in business are quietly stepping back. Amazon’s Jeff Bezos, Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg, and Warren Buffett of Berkshire Hathaway have each offloaded billions in stock this year, raising eyebrows and questions. “Insider” trading among corporate leaders has hit its lowest in a decade, signaling that those in the know might be hedging their bets, according to the DailyMail.
So, what do they see on the horizon? For Kevin O’Leary, it’s a mix of caution and smart diversification. He advises investors to keep a balanced portfolio, avoiding big gambles before the presidential election. O’Leary explains, “The reality is, no one can predict where this market is heading—not even the giants.” With a possible shift in federal policies on the line, including Vice President Kamala Harris’s stance on “picking winners and losers” through selective industry funding, O’Leary recommends playing it safe. For investors, that means keeping cash on hand, focusing on stable, long-term investments, and bracing for the unexpected turns of an election season.
