Breakdown of Buffett's strategy and why Berkshire is holding record cash

Breakdown of Buffett's strategy and why Berkshire is holding record cash

Article covers Warren Buffett's investing approach and why Berkshire is sitting on so much capital. BRK has averaged 19.9% returns since 1965 largely by buying quality businesses during panic selling. He views cash as 'ammunition' rather than a liability, which explains why he's currently holding a record cash pile. The logic is that a stock drop doesn't change intrinsic value, like how much Coke people drink. He cites his 2008 Goldman Sachs deal and long-term holdings in AmEx and Coke as examples of waiting for the right price rather than trying to time the market.

Classic Buffett playbook. He’s fine looking “boring” in the short term if it means having dry powder ready when fear hits. Cash isn’t dead money to him, it’s leverage for the next once-in-a-decade setup
