Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway (BRK-A, BRK-B) outperformed the S&P 500 (^GSPC) in 2024, accumulating record cash reserves at the firm’s highest level since 1990. The Glenview Trust Company chief investment officer Bill Stone discusses this milestone on Market Domination.
“Until he starts to really find larger targets to buy or that he can buy, it’s gonna probably keep growing,” Stone tells Yahoo Finance, adding, “They have the optionality. They have the money available if we get a big market sell-off or specific company sell-off, e certainly has the cash to step in.”
Stone explains that while Berkshire’s massive cash position might signal investors to “be careful where you tread,” it’s important to understand that Buffett’s reluctance to invest in technology or current “hot things” reflects his investment philosophy rather than the quality of those opportunities.
