Is the Downturn a Good Time to Revisit Buffett's Wisdom?

As markets stumble and uncertainty grips the global economy, Berkshire Hathaway quietly sits on a war chest of $334 billion in cash—the largest in its history. While headlines scream panic and portfolios bleed red, Warren Buffett remains unshaken. The Oracle of Omaha has lived through more crashes, bubbles, and bear markets than most investors have even read about, and he’s often emerged stronger on the other side. So, in times like these, is there a better compass than Buffett’s timeless wisdom? One of my favorite quotes from Buffett is: "You’ve got to be prepared, when you buy a stock, to have it go down 50% — or more — and be comfortable with it, as long as you’re comfortable with the holding." This mindset has been my anchor. When I buy stocks or ETFs, I do so with the understanding th

🌟🌟🌟Warren Buffett  believes in Index ETFs.  He even had a USD 1 million bet with hedge funds that Index ETFs will beat hedge funds.  Ultimately Warren Buffett won the bet.   Warren Buffett has 2 ETFs in his portfolio - $Vanguard S&P 500 ETF(VOO)$ and $SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$. When the markets are volatile, just simply invest in them and in the long term, they will continue to gain in capital growth. Investing can be so simple with $Vanguard S&P 500 ETF(VOO)$ and $SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$ No need to worry which stock to invest.  Just buy VOO and let it ride.

Berkshire Hathaway, under Warren Buffett's leadership, has amassed a record cash pile, reaching $334.2 billion by the end of 2024, according to its latest annual report. This unprecedented liquidity offers several insights into the company's strategy and Buffett's perspective on the current market environment as of March 17, 2025. First, the size of the cash hoard—nearly doubling from $167.6 billion at the end of 2023—suggests a deliberate move toward caution. Buffett has been a net seller of stocks for multiple quarters, offloading significant stakes in holdings like Apple (reduced from 908 million shares worth $174 billion to 300 million shares worth $75 billion by year-end 2024) and Bank of America (selling over $10 billion since mid-2024). This selling spree, coupled with a halt in sto
Warren Buffett’s record cash pile signals his cautious stance on the current market environment. With valuations high and uncertain economic conditions, he’s waiting for opportunities to deploy capital at attractive prices. Buffett’s preference for maintaining liquidity reflects his strategy of capital preservation while seeking value investments. Historically, large cash reserves allow him to act quickly when market corrections create buying opportunities. This approach shows his disciplined risk management and long-term perspective. The cash pile could be a precursor to major acquisitions once market conditions improve.
