Downsides to all this? Interest rates may fade, and Berkshire's stock price may rise without a dip. I miss getting the stock assigned and get a higher re-entry price when I ultimately cave in and plow back into Berkshire stock, but the "cash while you wait" benefit of interest in the mean time fades. Still, that isn't exactly a wipe-out, and I'll be happy making over 10% this year on that cash. It seems likely that some day there will come a time that things are once again on sale, and having cash and T-bills at hand will seem fortunate.

Aren't you losing the optionality value of the cash in the case of a market pullback?
