The more interesting question for me as an investor is this — WHY is Buffet, one of the world’s greatest investors, holding so much cash instead of investing them in the stock market?

And why now? What is he anticipating?

The surprise is hiding right around the corner.

I’m a shark looking for a good buy when the crash does happen (and it will).

Problem for all of us is if our dollar becomes worthless, what will be that next currency?

Some type of CBDC I imagine - kiss your freedom goodbye when it happens.

My guess is Buffet believes inflation is still too high and that the Fed will raise interest rates. This should cause stocks and bonds to go down.

Personally, I keep 4 years of RMDs in cash and the rest in stocks. I avoid bonds like the plague.

Buffett is simply a value investor. He follows cash flow also. He is also approaching his use by date.

Article hinted that stocks are overpriced.

“What is he anticipating?”

A correction. He thinks the stock market is overpriced.
