AI Summary
Summary
The post discusses Warren Buffett's large cash position at Berkshire Hathaway and whether this signals he is waiting for a major market correction. The author expresses frustration at having sold positions and missed the semiconductor rally, questioning whether to stay in cash or continue investing.
The author's thesis is that Buffett is deliberately vague about expecting a meltdown, and that the market seems disconnected from geopolitical/macro risks. They are torn between waiting for a correction and normal investing.
Quality assessment: This is speculative noise, not well-researched due diligence. It relies on interpreting Buffett's public statements and personal anecdote rather than data.

I actually think he’s waiting for a meltdown but he’s careful about phrasing so he doesn’t cause a panic. I think he’s been saying more or less the same thing since the end of 2024.
I sold many good positions twice so far because of the mixed signals from the market and geopolitical environment, and missed on the entire semiconductors rally. It’s as if the market has become an organism of its own that’s not affected by whatever is happening in the world.
I wonder how many of you are sitting on cash or MMFs and patiently waiting for a meltdown to go back in, how many are investing like normal, and how many are trying to time the market to no avail.
What’s your current strategy?
