Post #8784 by carolsharp on the Berkshire Hathaway board

If someone appears to be repeatedly personal, lean towards patience as they might not mean offense. If you are sure, however, then do not deepen the problem by being negative; instead, simply place them on ignore by clicking the unhappy yellow face to the right of their name.

The more out-there speculations are that there is in fact a big deployment of some type on the horizon, or that (atypically) management is anticipating a market rout, or that Mr Buffett has permanently given up on big allocations to publicly listed US stocks.

I can't remember a time Berkshire raised cash anticipating a market crash. Was there?

Buffett is pretty famous for saying he doesn't know what the market is going to do tomorrow, next week, next year.

But I guess if he felt valuations were stretched he's okay trimming and sitting on cash earning 5%.
