Berkshire Hathaway holds record cash as market shows warning signs
Berkshire Hathaway, Warren Buffett's company, holds 59% of its investment portfolio, or $397.4 billion, in cash and T-bills, an unprecedented amount. The stock market's overvaluation is indicated by two key metrics: the Buffett Indicator and the Shiller P/E. New CEO Greg Abel is now positioned to buy assets if a market downturn occurs, similar to Buffett's strategy during the 2008 financial crisis.
