@felixprehn He’s not making 5% on TBills

Warren Buffett just built a $334 billion cash fortress. Then he resigned as CEO. Those two facts together should keep you up at night. He sold $134 billion in stocks over 18 months. Cut Apple by 67%. Dumped $10 billion in Bank of America. The man who coined "be greedy when others are fearful" is now holding more cash than the GDP of Finland, Portugal, and New Zealand combined. He has done this exactly twice before. Both times, the market collapsed within 18 months. 1999: Buffett sat in cash. Media called him a washed-up dinosaur who didn't understand the internet. He was holding $28 billion while the Nasdaq ran to 5,000. Eighteen months later the Nasdaq was at 1,100. 78% crash. Buffett bought companies for pennies. Made billions. 2007: Buffett raised cash to $44 billion while every bank on Wall Street was leveraged 30:1 on mortgage bonds. Everyone said housing never goes down. Lehman collapsed. Buffett walked into Goldman Sachs with a $5 billion check and demanded 10% preferred dividends plus warrants. Made $3.7 billion on a single trade because he was the only one in the room with cash. Now: $334 billion. 7.6x his 2007 cash position. In treasury bills. Earning 5%. Waiting. This is a 94-year-old man with 82 years of investing experience who has seen every crash, every bubble, every mania in modern financial history. More pattern recognition in his head than any quant model on Wall Street. His conclusion: sell stocks, hold cash, wait for the crash. You don't need $334 billion. You need the same playbook at your scale. Raise your cash allocation to 20-30% of your portfolio. Trim positions that have run 200%+ with no margin of safety. Set limit orders 30-40% below current prices on the 10 stocks you actually want to own long-term. That's the Buffett playbook. Decide what you want, decide what price you'd pay, then wait with cash ready. When the Nasdaq dropped 78% in 2000, Apple fell from $4.50 to $0.50 (split-adjusted). Amazon went from $107 to $7. Greatest businesses of the next two decades, available for 85-95% off. That only matters if you have cash when it happens. CNBC tells you to stay fully invested. Buffett is telling you, with $134 billion in stock sales, that fully invested is the wrong position right now. One of them manages $1.1 trillion in assets. The other sells advertising. i watch 13F filings, insider selling ratios, and institutional cash positioning through tradevision. Berkshire's selling is accelerating each quarter. the rate isn't slowing down. when the greatest capital allocator in history is building cash at the fastest rate of his career, being fully invested is a choice, and it might be the most expensive one you ever make. (1999: $28 billion cash. crash followed. 2007: $44 billion cash. crash followed. 2025: $334 billion cash. he's not guessing. he's done this before. twice.)
