Everyone knows Warren Buffett's super successful investment vehicle, Berkshire Hathaway.  And we're all probably aware of its colossal growth over the years, turning a puny $8.3 million purchase in 1965 into an eye-watering, jaw-dropping, head-spinning near $700 billion value today.  That's a return to make any seasoned investor's monocle pop out.  But here's where things get interesting. One of Buffett's superstar investments, a real gem in the portfolio, may not be what you'd expect.  Our friend Warren got smitten by the bubbly charm of Coca-Cola back in 1988 and has been accumulating shares ever since.  Now, Berkshire Hathaway is the proud owner of a cool 400 million shares, worth a rather handsome $22 billion.  That's like owning an 8% slice of the entire Coca-Cola pie. Not a bad position to be in, right?  Here's another fun tidbit. Back in the late '80s, when Buffett started sipping on Coca-Cola's stock, it was only a few bucks a share.  Fast forward to today, Berkshire Hathaway is sitting on an Everest of gains, which is enough to make any investor feel fizzy.  And let's not forget the sweet cherry on top, a quarterly dividend of 44 cents per share, netting Buffett a refreshing billion dollars in dividends per year.  Now, while Coca-Cola is a mega-corporation and returns like those might not be on the horizon anymore, there are still other promising companies out there.  Take TruBrain, for example, a sprightly startup that crafts drinks and supplements focused on brain health. Currently, its value is a mere shadow of what Coca-Cola was back in '88.  But why Coca-Cola, you might ask. Well, Buffett has a sweet tooth for value, and not just any value - value that bubbles up over time. He is known for his shrewd, almost hawk-like investing approach, never overpaying even by a cent.  When he spotted Coca-Cola, he saw a company that was not only reasonably priced but also possessed a potent competitive edge. Coca-Cola, after all, owns nearly half the U.S. soft drink market.  There's more to this story, though. Coca-Cola is not just valuable in the traditional sense; it's also a treasure trove of productivity.  Buffett has an affinity for these 'productive assets' that churn out cash while delivering a tangible product. This is probably why you won't see him jumping on the crypto bandwagon anytime soon; he likes his investments to create something.  Buffett once pointed out the impressive production scale of Coca-Cola. Almost 2 billion servings of fizzy goodness are produced every day.  Imagine, he mused, if they bumped up the price by just a penny per serving. That'd translate into a nifty extra $20 million every day.  That's the genius of Buffett's investing style. He's always had a soft spot for Coca-Cola, and as long as it keeps its crown in the market, it's unlikely he'll part ways with it.  After all, why would he? As the saying goes, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Or in this case, don't sell it.  Trade safe!  -James  Coming Up Next: The market has gone bonkers lately, but to they really have still room to run?

Now, don't get me wrong.  It's not quite down to the Fed's dreamy 2% target, but the rate of increase is showing signs of a cool-down.  Let's look at the numbers. After wrestling with high inflation for a solid two years, we're starting to see some gradual relief.  According to the Labor Department, consumer prices in May nudged up by a mere 0.1% from April, making for a 4% annual increase. That's the smallest year-over-year uptick we've seen in more than two years.  One major factor contributing to this slowdown? The plunge in fuel costs.  If we filter out the fluctuating food and energy items (that pesky core rate economists love to scrutinize), we see a 0.4% increase from April, totaling a 5.3% increase year over year.  Now, I hear you, that's still hotter than what the Fed's comfortable with.  But consider this – a large chunk of the inflation numbers are boosted by ever-climbing shelter costs, which make up roughly a third of the consumer spending basket. In May, these costs had ballooned 8% from the previous year.  If we toss shelter costs aside for a moment, we find a more palatable inflation rate, with overall consumer prices up just 2.1%, and core prices up 3.4%.  Here's where things get interesting. Shelter costs are heavily influenced by rents. The Labor Department takes into account the entire spectrum of rents – from fresh, shiny leases to those dusty old ones that have been sitting around for a while.  Therefore, it's a bit behind in capturing the recent slowdown in new lease inflation. According to a Zillow measure, rent inflation was up 4.8% in May, a significant drop from the whopping 17% surge we saw in February last year.  There's a new measure on the block, an experimental one developed by the Commerce and Labor Departments.  This nifty metric predicts that, in the coming quarters, inflation for shelter costs might approach zero. If that's not a sigh of relief, I don't know what is.  We're also seeing indications that other prices might chill out a bit. Take used cars, for instance. Despite a bounce back in prices last month, wholesale data suggests this trend won't stick around.  Commodity prices are also feeling a bit under the weather, and shipping costs continue their downward trajectory.  And remember the "eggflation" panic that had us all in a flap earlier this year? Well, egg prices actually dropped 0.4% last month.  So, what does this all mean for the Fed's next move?  Even if they do push up rates next month, this might very well be the curtain call for this cycle's rate hikes.
