Fixed-line enterprise services, which account for about 15% of revenue, include internet access, private networking, security, voice, and wholesale network capacity. Residential fixed-line services, about 11% of revenue, primarily consist of broadband internet access, serving 14 million customers. AT&T also has a sizable presence in Mexico, with 23 million customers, but this business only accounts for 4% of revenue. The firm recently agreed to sell its 70% equity stake in satellite television provider DirecTV to its partner, private equity firm TPG.

Scotiabank Reinstates Sector Perform on Metalla Royalty, Announces $4.5 Price Target

<p>There's no shortage of headlines about <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/01/36724158/warren-buffetts-investment-prot-g-grew-his-retirement-fund-from-70-000-to-264-million-an-account-he">people mimicking Warren Buffett's portfolio</a> and striking gold. The idea seems simple enough: Buffett buys Apple, you buy Apple. He sells a bank stock, you do the same. Why not ride the coattails of one of the richest and most successful investors in the world? On a smaller scale, it might even make sense – after all, if it worked for him, why wouldn't it work for you?</p>
<p>But Buffett himself has weighed in on this strategy and the answer might surprise you. During the 2009 Berkshire Hathaway Annual Meeting, a shareholder asked a bold question: why shouldn't investors just sell their Berkshire Hathaway shares and directly copy his moves?</p>
<p><strong>Don't Miss:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/advisor-adv-warren-buffett">Warren Buffett Flipped His Neighbor's $67,000 Life Savings Into A $50 Million Fortune — This Would Be Worth Over $500 Million Today</a></strong></li>

</ul>
<p>"[In terms of buying what we're buying], others can't buy with free float, although they may have tax advantages we don't have," Buffett explained, referencing the unique advantages Berkshire Hathaway enjoys due to its structure. "We don't quarrel with those who buy what we buy. You can piggyback, but you can't <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/11/41818744/warren-buffett-bought-a-1-7-billion-business-over-the-phone-without-meeting-founder-by-using-wha">buy the [whole] businesses</a> we do."</p>
<p>His longtime business partner <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/11/41810582/charlie-munger-warned-its-a-b-tch-but-you-gotta-do-it-your-100-000-is-the-hardest-but-the-most-i">Charlie Munger</a> added: "It's generally quite smart to copy very successful investors."</p>
<p>Buffett himself admitted, "I did the same thing when I was young."</p>
<p>But does that mean replicating Buffett's investments is a foolproof way to build wealth? Not exactly.</p>
<p><strong>See Also: ‘Scrolling To UBI' — Deloitte's #1 fastest-growing software company allows users to earn money on their phones. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mode-mobile-2"><strong>You can invest today for just $0.26/share with a $1000 minimum.</strong></a></strong></p>
<p><strong>The Pitfalls of Copycat Investing</strong></p>
<p>While Buffett doesn't outright dismiss the idea, he clarifies that mimicking his portfolio isn't a perfect strategy. One key reason is scale. Berkshire Hathaway doesn't just buy shares – it often buys entire businesses. This gives the company leverage, operational control and economies of scale that an individual investor can't replicate.</p>
<p>Buffett's moves are often tied to advantages unique to Berkshire, such as the "free float" from its insurance businesses. This allows the company to invest without the same financial constraints an individual might face.</p>
<p>Another factor is timing. By the time Buffett's trades become public, market conditions may have shifted. You're often playing catch-up, which means you might not reap the same benefits from the investments he makes.</p>
<p><strong>Trending: With 100+ historic trademarks including some of the high grossing characters in history, like Cinderella, Snow White and Peter Pan, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/elf-labs-1"><strong>this company is transforming the $2 trillion entertainment market with patented AR, VR, and AI tech. — For a short window, investors are able to claim $2/share ($980 min).</strong></a></strong></p>
<p><strong>What About the Upside?</strong></p>
<p>Still, there's merit to learning from Buffett's choices. As Munger pointed out, copying successful investors is "generally quite smart." Buffett studied his mentor Benjamin Graham and learned from other great investors during his early years. Analyzing Buffett's portfolio can provide insights into how he evaluates companies and what he considers a good value.</p>
<p>However, blindly following his trades isn't the same as understanding his strategy. Buffett's approach is deeply rooted in fundamental analysis, long-term thinking and an ability to evaluate businesses, not just stocks. Without that underlying knowledge, copying his moves could be risky.</p>
<p>Observing and learning from his decisions can offer valuable lessons, but the most important takeaway might be to develop your own investing philosophy.</p>
<p>Buffett and the late Munger would likely agree for those aspiring to follow in his footsteps: don't just imitate – educate. That's the true key to long-term success. And if you need a little extra help building your investment strategy, consider <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">consulting a financial advisor</a>.
