Nov 11, 2024, 07:30 AM
Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway has reached a historic cash position, with cash assets totaling $325.2 billion in the third quarter of 2024. This represents 28.0% of the company's total assets, the highest ratio in at least 34 years and surpassing levels seen before the Great Financial Crisis in 2005. Notably, Buffett's cash share has doubled within a year, raising questions about market conditions and investment strategies. Analysts are speculating whether this cash hoarding indicates caution about the current market landscape, reminiscent of patterns observed prior to the financial crisis.
