As far as my net worth, it is not atypical, and I recently got my cash/investment ratios to a level with which I'm comfortable. I added everything up, and realized the ratio is very close to the exact ratio that BRK currently maintains.

Berkshire market cap is $1,070 billion with $331 billion cash, so that's like what, a 70/30 fund.

If your only investment is Berkshire you have 30% in cash equivalents.

Yeah, maybe a little irrational, possibly a mental stretch, but a different way to think about it.
