You are quite welcome. I just happen to be untangling the structural relationships in those very laws in Lev. 25 & the corresponding blessings and curses of Lev. 26 as compared to known principles of ecology, politics, and economics.
It's been quite the challenge.

If my company was sitting on a lot of cash, I'd question whether the company was being managed well. There's nothing wrong with cash
per se, but when I own a company I'm looking for it to
do what it does well. Anyone can hold a pile of cash indefinitely. But if I own Ford, I want to know that the company is manufacturing new cars and developing new models of cars. For Microsoft, I want to see the company develop new software. If I own McDonald's stock, I sure hope they're selling lots of hamburgers and Happy Meals.
Maybe I'm missing the point here, but isn't a cash position even more ridiculous when interest rates are at record lows and inflation is a serious threat?

Or you’ve run out of ideas on how to grow and the younger hungrier companies are going to eat your lunch.

Depends on what they mean by “cash”. Bills and coins? CD’s? Munis or T-bonds? Ledger entries?
Each has it’s own opportunity cost, risk, and valuation.
