Why is Buffett Dumping $140b in Stocks When Inflation Could Crush Cash?
Briefly

In 2024, Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway made significant investment moves, including a dramatic sale of $143 billion in stocks while acquiring only $9.3 billion. The firm increased its cash holdings to $334 billion, leading to questions about the strategy behind this conservative approach. Analysts speculate that Buffett may be betting on a decrease in inflation or deeming stock valuations too high, given current inflation rates. This focus on cash reserves indicates a cautious outlook for potential economic changes ahead.
