😳 Unbelievable but true: Warren Buffett is now sitting on $381.7 billion in cash — yet he’s buying nothing!
📉 Zero buybacks for 5 straight quarters.
📊 No major stock purchases.
💰 Sold a net $6.1 billion in equities last quarter.
When the most disciplined investor in history refuses to buy — you know something’s off.

💬 What Buffett is actually saying:
“The market is overvalued. I’ll wait.”
→ Berkshire is currently trading at a 72% premium to its book value — far above Buffett’s comfort zone.
→ The Buffett Indicator (Market Cap vs GDP) stands at 217%, well beyond his historical caution level of 200%.
In short — prices are inflated, risks are high, and patience is the smartest profit strategy right now.
⸻
📈 Still, the business itself is thriving:
→ Operating income is up 34% year-over-year, reaching $13.5 billion.
→ Insurance and rail businesses are performing well.
→ The company is profitable — but Buffett’s “Buy” button remains inactive.
Because Buffett knows — “Strong performance doesn’t always mean it’s time to buy,” especially when the price already reflects perfection.

🕰️ History is repeating itself — again:
→ 1990s: Buffett stayed in cash during the dot-com bubble.
→ 2007: He waited before the crash, then invested billions afterward.
→ 2025: The same discipline, just bigger numbers.
Now his $382 billion war chest is waiting — for fear to return to the market.
And history shows — fear always returns.
⸻
🎯 Even at 95 years old, Buffett is still teaching the hardest investing rule of all:
👉 Sometimes, the boldest move is — doing nothing.
