doesn't want to get caught in the crash
wants cash on hand to buy the dip

he knows things are about to go to shit

>>18837037
Because he's not as smart as 4chan neets who are piling in their welfare bux into Bitcoin and will become millionaires imminently because le halvening

>>18837037
Because he is lost. He doesn't know what to do right now. This is actually not a joke. It means we all don't know what to do.

>>18837062

This. He's done, he prob won't make another year on this mortal coil. A lot of you fags need to go and listen to actual expert predictions on where this likely going.

Apple is the one big standout that is doing extremely well. But Apple alone will not fix this.

>>18837054
^^^

This . He’s not buying because there isn’t much with buying at these prices

>>18837062
>>18837359
There is a reason he and I are rich and you are poor.
>Take a look at The Great Depression chart
Thank me later retards if you are smart enough!

Imagine fed going brrr and Buffet billions going to zero over night. That would be a story told to children for generations. Greedy old man losing his fortune.

>>18837677
he just lost about 9 billion today... you think that is fun?

Imagine being this clueless

they don't actually print dollars though, they buy assets and mostly lend out reserve notes, which banks don't actually use except to adjust their balance sheets

that is why it doesn't work, and its also why we don't get street level inflation

They can blow financial bubbles, but they can't stop deflation. Even with more debt and asset prices up, the debt weighs down growth and we still get deflation.

They are powerless to escape this trap. We will not get improvements to living standards or real economic growth for 30 years like Japan

>>that is why it doesn't work, and its also why we don't get street level inflation
what is the inflation in japan?

>>18837731
Ok

>>18837688
Buffet losing billions does not make a difference. Only hits his ego.

>>18837819
Why is everyone so afraid to deflation? I like cheaper prices.

>>18837869
He will not starve of course, but you need to think on a bigger scale. When Buffett is at his wits' end. What the fuck are little rich gone do? Go all in Apple and hope it never drops? And dividends will always rise? That is not the solution. There is NOTHING atm
Just nothing to buy

Time for new american monopolies

I'm buying stocks as well (ok, I'm shorting but I'll be buying the dip). You sound butthurt af. Annoyed people here have made several thousand % returns of thru were smart? I bought link at 20c. Tell me the return there went it we t to $5 lmao.

>>18837037
S&P crashing to 50% within next 2 years.

>>18837908
negative feedback loops are nearly impossible to get out of.

People have no money -> People spend no money -> Not many jobs cause no one spending -> People have no money

essentially the only thing that got us out of the great depression was the war, Japan is completely fucked and has been for ages now, it can't do anything.

>hurr

Or maybe when the lockdown still isn't over when quarterlies come in, the stock market will naturally see another major sell off and drop back below 20k and then resurge by a few thousand when the lockdown ends and a new stimulus is announced to "get people back to work" (assuming, of course, congress doesn't deliberately shit the bed in hopes corpulent Joe can beat orange man, forcing us all to get fucked because several elderly people hate each other).

>>18837037
Get it, there is nothing to buy. everything is overpriced. I wouldn't be surprised if he will sit on this cash for next 13-20 months.
He is eyeing entry into new era commodities. Era after the crash. This wasn't a crash yet, people.

Is Bufett really in "cash" as everyone says though? I though he was in treasury something somethings. Does anyone know what exactly? Can he sell those quickly enough to buy something else? How?

>>18837908
that is because you have zero in assets

Berk sold ALL their airline shares. It will at least be a bloodbath for transportation, probably overall.

Haven't most market corrections happened on a Monday?

>>18838034
Japan is a very nice place to live tho.

>>18838266
Hopefully that will bring down other stocks as well and/or generate some panick

>>18837037
Make sure you own real estate because they are gonna still fuck you big time when the dollar dips. They were prepared.
Don't listen to what buffey says but observe what he does.

>>18837037

Because he foresees a great recession.

It is that simple.

>>18837059

This nigga gets it

>>18837037
Buffett sells INSURANCE. He doesn't know how to TRADE. He can't beat the market.

>>18837037
Cash is king during a recession, he can then buy whatever the fuck he wants at cheap prices. Might even lead to some complete takeovers on-top of that

>>18838855

checked.

truth has been spoken

>>18838855
Cash is unfortunately also not the solution... cash is the worst asset to have. It loses value just by sitting there and the world turning. If cash was ok, hell, nobody would even bother to invest

>>18838855
tRUTH well stated!

Mr. Buffet knows:

What is here supposed to buy? Every major company is billions in debt from stock buybacks, foreign investing will always be garbage, shitcoins are garbage, and real estate is the next bubble

You're honestly better off just letting inflation eat the cash than investments right now.

>>18840536
You are funny anon.. nobody fucking knows now. There are non more safe havens now except for Apple. And even that might wilter
