Legendary investor Warren Buffett continues one of the most aggressive sell-offs in the history of Berkshire Hathaway. In the third quarter, the company made a net stock sale of $6.1 billion — sold for $12.5 billion, bought only for $6.4 billion.
This is already the 12th consecutive quarter of pure sell-off, and the result is impressive: cash reserves have reached a record $381.6 billion. For comparison — this is more than the GDP of most countries in the world.
What does this mean?
Buffett signals danger. The 95-year-old “Oracle of Omaha” believes that stocks are overvalued, and there are simply no investment opportunities. Instead of buying, he is accumulating cash — a classic defense before a crisis.
Buffett is not leaving the business completely.
The company's operating profit increased by 34% to $13.5 billion due to the insurance and energy segments.
Berkshire has halted the buyback of its own shares — yet another signal of a conservative position
Where is the money?
The portfolio focuses on three whales:
Apple — $57 billion ( 22% of the portfolio )
American Express — $48 billion ( 18% )
Bank of America — $28 billion (1%)
Irisgemal is located in the stock market, but cash is at a record high. The signal is clear: the investor is waiting for a price drop.
Bottom or the Beginning of the Collapse?
This is a question that concerns all of Wall Street. Buffett is often right, but not always early. However, the fact remains: when the legend is buying cash instead of stocks — it is worth listening.
