Is Warren Buffett Preparing for a Market Crash?

Berkshire Hathaway's cash reserves have reached $189 billion, and according to Buffett, they will continue to accumulate cash, projecting that the cash balance will reach $200 billion by the end of the current quarter. The company will not spend money until it is certain that the investments will be associated with low risk and high returns.

Interestingly, each time Buffett has accumulated a record amount of cash and the Federal Reserve has raised rates, a major stock market crash has occurred within the following 12 months, as was the case in 2000, 2008, and 2020.
