Berkshire Hathaway just hit a new all-time high while Wall Street is drowning in fear. The company led by Warren is now outperforming almost every major index in 2025.

And Warren is ready to strike. With hundreds of billions in dry powder, he can buy when everyone else is forced to sell. But don’t confuse that with him liking to sit on cash. He made it clear in his letter to shareholders that this isn’t some strategy. “We would prefer owning good businesses,”…
