"Warren was once quite comfortable in this field. Why not so much anymore?"

I suspect it's that he agrees with you that the market was overvalued ten year ago, and five years ago, and now. The whole business of buying "wonderful businesses at fair prices" is holding him back.

And, even with that said, buying securities is Todd & Ted's whole job description. So it's not as if BRK is neglecting the market. It's just too overpriced for needle-moving stuff, in Buffett's opinion.
