Shares of companies in the broader tech sector are trading lower after experiencing strong gains in 2024 amid AI momentum.

Legendary investor Warren Buffett has had plenty of winning stock picks over the years, helping to boost the value of Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>). The legendary stock picker has also made some mistakes when it comes to buying and selling certain stocks and sectors<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/24/08/40652464/warren-buffett-celebrates-94th-birthday-with-1-trillion-market-cap-milestone-a-look-back-at-hig"> over the years.</a>
Here's a look back at what Buffett openly calls one of his mistakes.
Buffett Buys Disney Stock: Today, Disney (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>) is one of the largest media companies in the world and collects billions of dollars from its<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42603589/disney-hits-2-billion-domestic-box-office-wins-top-honors-global-box-office-2025-to-grow-8-to-33b-analyst-says"> theatrical movie releases</a> and sectors like television, theme parks and streaming.
Back in 1966, when Buffett met with Disney co-founder Walt Disney, the company had its Disneyland theme park open in California but had not yet opened its Disney World in Florida, which is today one of the largest theme parks in the world.
Buffett's meeting with Disney is retold through a substack <a href="https://www.readtrung.com/p/buffetts-18b-miss-on-disney">post </a>from popular X <a href="https://x.com/TrungTPhan/status/1714065970384294043">poster </a>Trung Phan using a series of lectures from Notre Dame's MBA school.
"I went out to see Walt Disney. We sat down and he told me the whole plan for the company – he couldn't have been a nicer guy," Buffett said.
Buffett invested $4 million in Disney in 1966 thanks to that meeting, taking a 5% stake in Disney. Buffett said Disney probably would have been able to get a valuation of between $300 million and $400 million if they were a private company at the time and gone the venture capitalist route.
The legendary investor has said over the years there were several reasons for his investment in Disney, including the company's intellectual property.
"Mary Poppins had just come out. Mary Poppins made about $30 million that year, and seven years later you're going to show it to kids the same age. It's like having an oil well where all the oil seeps back in."
Buffett said that Disney had around 220 movies at the time including "Snow White," "Three Little Pigs" and "Fantasia. Despite potential value unlock from intellectual property, Disney wrote down the value of past films to $0.
"There were no residual values placed on the value of any Disney picture up through the 1960s."
Buffett also recalled the low valuation of Disney despite having the Disneyland theme park.
"The Pirates of the Caribbean ride had just been put in and it cost $17 million bucks."
Buffett couldn't believe that the company sold at "only 5x rides" at the time.
Despite the strong investment case laid out by Buffett, he sold the Disney stock a year later for $6 million, netting a profit of $2 million and a 50% gain. For Buffett's current long-term holding mentality, the short-term hold might have caused red flags for Disney stock back in 1967.

Buffett Buys Disney Stock Again: While Buffett sold Disney in 1967, he came back to the media giant years later. Buffett invested in Capital Cities in 1985 to help the media company finance its $3.5 billion acquisition of ABC.
Disney later bought Capital Cities/ABC for $19 billion, a deal that Buffett may have helped facilitate thanks to a meeting between Capital Cities CEO Tom Murphy and Disney CEO Michael Eisner, as recalled in the 1995 Berkshire annual <a href="https://www.berkshirehathaway.com/letters/1995.html">letter</a>.
Thanks to his ownership of Capital Cities stock at the time, Buffett and Berkshire Hathaway got a 3.6% stake in Disney when the merger between the two media companies closed in 1996.
Buffett held onto Disney shares longer this time before mostly selling the position by 2001. This second Disney stake was sold for over $1.5 billion and netted a profit of over 400%, as <a href="https://brk-b.com/berkshire-hathway-s-disney-journey_240427.html#:~:text=However%2C%20Buffett's%20decision%20to%20sell,in%20potential%20gains%201%204.">reported </a>by brk-b.com.
Buffett Admits Disney Sale Was a Mistake: Add up the 5% stake and 3.6% stake and Berkshire Hathaway could own 8.6% of Disney today if they had maintained Buffett's famous quote of "our favorite holding period is forever." &nbsp;
Buffett was asked about the Disney stock sale at the 1998 Berkshire Hathaway annual shareholders <a href="https://buffett.cnbc.com/video/1998/05/04/afternoon-session---1998-berkshire-hathaway-annual-meeting.html">meeting </a>by an audience member.
The legendary investor recalled that many stocks he has sold have gone up since he exited, including the first stock he ever bought.
"Certainly the Disney sale in the ‘60s was a huge mistake. I should have been buying, forget about holding, and that happened many times," Buffett said.
Buffett said that sometimes he sells stock in one company to buy stock in another, but this doesn't mean that the company he sold stock in is a bad investment.
"I must say that selling the Disney was a mistake."
At the time of writing, Disney shares trade at $112.55 with a market capitalization of 203.8 billion. Buffett's original 5% stake in Disney would be worth around $10.19 billion and his combined 8.6% hypothetical stake would be worth $17.53 billion.
If Buffett had held all his Disney shares, the media company would be his fifth largest stock holding today, trailing only Apple ($77.7 billion), American Express ($46.1 billion), Bank of America ($34.1 billion) and Coca-Cola ($25.0 billion).

What's Going On With SEALSQ Stock Friday?

The airline industry has taken off in 2024, outpacing even the high-flying tech sector. The U.S. Global Jets ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JETS#NYSE">JETS</a>), a fund that tracks the airline sector, is up 34% year-to-date as of Dec. 27, compared to the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech">Nasdaq 100's 27% gain.</a>
This surge reflects robust demand for premium travel, strategic operational shifts, and booming holiday traffic.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Travel Frenzy Lifts Airline ETF</h3>
Thanksgiving marked a pivotal moment for airline stocks this year. Over the six-day travel period, the TSA screened an estimated 18.3 million passengers—a 6% increase from 2023—pushing the JETS ETF up nearly 6% for November. 
"As a pure consumer play, JETS is a way for investors to capitalize on peak holiday travel, which is expected to see records this year," recently said Kent Thune, research analyst at ETF.com. 
The expert attributed the ETF's recent gains to declining fuel costs and strong seasonal demand. Since August, the JETS ETF has outperformed the tech-heavy Invesco QQQ Trust, Series 1 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>) by robust 31 percentage points. 
JETS' portfolio is heavily weighted toward U.S. airlines with 70% stake, including a 10% weight in American Airlines Group Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAL#NASDAQ">AAL</a>) and 8.5% in budget carrier Southwest Airlines Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LUV#NYSE">LUV</a>). The ETF also holds smaller positions in Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>), Expedia Group Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EXPE#NASDAQ">EXPE</a>), and TripAdvisor Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TRIP#NASDAQ">TRIP</a>).
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Premium Demand Redefines Industry</h3>
Delta Air Lines Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>) and United Airlines Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NASDAQ">UAL</a>), the second and fourth-largest U.S. carriers by market share, have been standout performers, surging 53% and 140% respectively this year. Together, they account for over 26% of JETS' holdings. 
Despite facing cost pressures from rising pilot salaries and maintenance expenses, the airlines have thrived thanks to booming demand for premium travel options. Delta recently revealed plans to expand high-end services, projecting premium ticket revenues will surpass main cabin sales—a trend reshaping the industry's profit dynamics.
"Premium revenue trends have outpaced main cabin over the last several years," Catharine O'Brien, an analyst at Goldman Sachs, said.
"Airlines have disaggregated premium demand to serve more segments of premium demand from premium economy seats in the main cabin to lie flat business class, with premium international economy and domestic first class in between,&#8221; she said. 
The analyst indicated that airlines with exposure to premium travel and strategic capacity improvements, including Delta, Alaska Air Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALK#NYSE">ALK</a>), and United, are expected to outperform next year.

According to Goldman Sachs, higher lease extensions and gains on sales are boosting profitability, with analyst forecasting improved returns on equity for lessors in 2025.
&#8220;Looking into 2025, we expect many of the same themes to persist, with the drivers of aircraft availability mixed and unit cost inflation continuing, but decelerating,&#8221; O&#8217;Brien said.

Check Out What Whales Are Doing With CLSK

Rising mortgage costs have created an unexpected silver lining for many young professionals priced out of homeownership – driving <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/03/37613057/occupancy-rate-in-new-yorks-luxury-rental-sector-at-a-30-year-high">demand for luxury rental properties that offer amenities far beyond typical starter homes</a>. A new CBRE study by Forbes revealed a 35% gap between average monthly mortgage payments and apartment rents, sparked by a 75% surge in mortgage costs since 2019.
That affordability gap has transformed rental market dynamics, with upscale apartment developers competing to attract long-term tenants through resort-style amenities. New York&#8217;s The Ellery and Miami&#8217;s 2000 Biscayne are examples of the trend, both reaching 50% occupancy within months of opening.

<li>This Jeff Bezos-backed startup will allow you to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/bezos-landlord-100-dollars">become a landlord in just 10 minutes, with minimum investments as low as $100 for properties like the Byer House from Stranger Things.</a></li>
</ul>
&#8220;Renters in today&#8217;s luxury market want to be wowed, which inspired us to focus on stunning views, hotel-level amenities and museum-level art,&#8221; Colleen Wenke, president of Taconic Partners, developer of The Ellery, explained to Forbes. The 32-story Manhattan property features private dining rooms with wine fridges, a full-service spa and a rooftop pool with cabanas.
In Miami, 2000 Biscayne caters to similar preferences with a 5,000-square-foot fitness center, wellness spa and outdoor yoga areas overlooking Biscayne Bay. &#8220;Renters increasingly place a premium on health and wellness, productivity, calm and convenience,&#8221; Nicholas Pantuliano, COO of PTM Partners, said.
The trend extends beyond coastal markets. Philadelphia&#8217;s The Noble offers a year-round 75-foot pool, a 17,000-square-foot gym and extensive coworking spaces, reflecting nationwide demand for lifestyle-focused rental communities.

CBRE forecasts that the homeownership premium will decrease but remain significant enough to keep many potential buyers in luxury rentals longer. The shift has prompted developers to emphasize amenities previously associated with high-end condominiums, from wine storage to private treatment rooms.
The appeal stems partly from flexibility – the properties offer upscale living without the maintenance responsibilities or long-term homeownership commitment. For millennials facing an uncertain housing market, luxury rentals provide immediate access to premium lifestyles while keeping future options open.
The evolution in rental housing reflects broader changes in how young professionals view home and community. Rather than settling for modest starter homes in distant suburbs, many opt for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/09/41021604/a-surprising-housing-trend-is-sweeping-the-u-s-why-built-to-rent-communities-are-about-to-redefine-t">amenity-rich urban rentals that better align with their current lifestyle</a> preferences and values.
