🚨THE CASH MOUNTAIN THEORY🧠

Is Warren Buffett quietly predicting the next global crash?

As of May 8, 2025, Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway has amassed a record-breaking $347.7 billion in cash. This isn’t just a headline—it’s a flashing macroeconomic signal. Historically, Buffett doesn’t hoard cash for fun. He does it when he sees storm clouds on the horizon.

Let’s look at the pattern:

— 1999: Cash pile before the dot-com crash.

— 2007–2008: Before the global financial crisis.

— 2019: Months ahead of the COVID crash.

— 2025: Now.

This year alone, Berkshire’s operating profit dropped 14% in Q1. Insurance losses from wildfires, currency turbulence, and minimal buying activity underscore one thing: Buffett is sitting out the market. For the 10th straight quarter, Berkshire sold more stocks than it bought.

What’s even more telling? Buffett himself said he doesn’t see “anything worth buying” at current prices. That’s not pessimism. That’s experience talking.

And the plot thickens: the Oracle of Omaha has announced he’ll step down by the end of 2025, passing the reins to Greg Abel. A new leader, record cash, zero appetite for deals—something’s brewing.

Berkshire isn’t just waiting. It’s positioning—for chaos, opportunity, or both.
