You'll probably agree that Warren Buffett is one of the world's very best stock pickers; Berkshire Hathaway 's long-term track record says as much. You may even borrow the occasional Buffett pick for your own portfolio, in fact. Did you know, however, that the Oracle of Omaha wishes most of you wouldn't do that?

You'll probably agree that Warren Buffett is one of the world's very best stock pickers; Berkshire Hathaway 's long-term track record says as much. You may even borrow the occasional Buffett pick for your own portfolio, in fact. Did you know, however, that the Oracle of Omaha wishes most of you wouldn't do that? He would much rather you do something far simpler. He recommends a buy-and-hold strategy, starting with a single exchange-traded fund (ETF) that mirrors the performance of the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) . The legendary selector of stocks reiterated it most recently at 2020's annual meeting of Berkshire Hathaway's shareholders, where he said that for most people, the best thing to do is to own an S&P 500 index fund, like the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (NYSEMKT: SPY) or the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (NYSEMKT: VOO) . He has regularly preached the benefits of this simple, passive approach to investing ever since 1993's letter to shareholders in which he said that by periodically investing in an index fund, the know-nothing investor can actually outperform most investment professionals.

Photographer: Alex Kraus/Bloomberg via Getty Images Bloomberg | Bloomberg | Getty Images A planned drawdown of U.S. troops from Germany should spur Europeans to strengthen their own defences further, German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius said on Saturday, following the latest salvo from Washington against transatlantic ties. The Pentagon announced on Friday that the United States would withdraw 5,000 soldiers from Germany, its largest European base, as a rift over the Iran war and tariff tensions place further strain on relations between the U.S. and Europe. Pistorius said the move was expected. Trump had threatened a drawdown in forces earlier this week after sparring with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, who has questioned Washington's strategy in the Middle East. Germany boosting troops, military infrastructure Pistorius said the partial withdrawal would affect a current U.S. presence of almost 40,000 soldiers stationed in Germany. Other estimates put the active-duty troop presence at 35,000. "We Europeans must take on more responsibility for our own security," Pistorius said, adding, "Germany is on the right track" by expanding its armed forces, speeding up military procurement and building infrastructure. Germany wants to boost the number of active-duty Bundeswehr soldiers from a current 185,000 to 260,000, though critics of the defence minister have called for more in response to a widely perceived growing threat from Russia. NATO members have pledged to take on more responsibility for their own defence but with tight budgets and vast gaps in military capability it will take years for the region to meet its own security needs.
