The U.S. stock market endured its worst two-day period since 2020 in early April 2025, thanks to the surprisingly large tariffs President Donald Trump enacted on America’s global trade partners. Investors fled the market in droves, driving up volume and amplifying the downdraft, with the S&P 500 dropping an incredible 6% on April 4 alone.

But in the midst of chaos can often come opportunity. While the market may not bounce back tomorrow, history has shown that the S&P 500 is surprisingly resilient. In fact, it has never failed to make a new all-time high, no matter how bad the bear market that preceded it.
In light of this long-term track record, many billionaires are actually moving into “buy” mode while others are selling. Famed investor Warren Buffett has often been quoted as saying that investors should “be fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful,” and some people think that time is at hand.
Of course, no one knows the actual trades that billionaires, hedge funds and mutual funds are making on a minute-to-minute basis. But here are some of the stocks that billionaires and institutions have been touting and/or already have large positions in, making it likely that at least some of them are snapping up shares in the big April downturn.
Just remember to always consult with a financial advisor to see if an investment makes sense for you, given your personal financial situation, investment objectives and risk tolerance.

Nike went down about 23% year-to-date, but there might be some sunshine ahead for the stock, and large investors seem to be taking notice.
While the initial tariff talk out of the Trump administration helped torpedo the stock, on April 4, it actually bounced back and was one of the very few stocks that was up on the day. The reason was that Vietnam acquiesced to Trump’s tariff threat. As Nike makes a large percentage of its products in Vietnam, the relief helped draw investors back into the stock.
