Concerns about a potential recession are rising, tempering initial optimism surrounding Donald Trump's second term and the expected growth spurred by tax cuts and deregulation. This has led to a market correction, particularly in the Nasdaq. Investors are wary as tariffs and other adverse factors threaten growth. With a substantial cash reserve, Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway remains ready to invest in undervalued stocks as prices decline. Recession odds are increasing, creating a complex, risky atmosphere for investors trying to protect their portfolios.
Most investors would argue that in terms of the most successful value investors of all time, Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway holds $336 billion in cash, giving the stock ample dry powder to scoop up shares as stock prices drop.
Expectations around how this growth-oriented presidency could boost business activity (via tax cuts and deregulation) led to certain stocks in specific sectors skyrocketing in value.
The question of course is whether these headwinds to growth will more than offset the bullish narrative to start the year, which certainly seems to be the case.
Heightened risk is present as recession concerns grow, leading to skepticism around stocks in a turbulent market.
