Warren Buffett has been selling stocks for 10 consecutive quarters, amassing a cash stockpile of $348 billion for Berkshire Hathaway. At the annual shareholder meeting, he expressed readiness to spend $100 billion on a stock that meets three criteria: understanding the investment, good value, and minimal risk of losing money.

Buffett’s investment criteria include understanding the company, ensuring good value based on earnings growth, and mitigating the risk of losing money. He focuses on businesses within his circle of competence, like Apple, American Express, and Coca-Cola. Buffett’s cautious approach emphasizes long-term value over short-term gains.

Despite past investment missteps, Buffett remains committed to finding opportunities that align with his criteria. He acknowledges the uncertainty of when such opportunities will arise but stresses the importance of being prepared. Succession plans are also in place, with Greg Abel set to take over as CEO next year, sharing Buffett’s patient and strategic investment approach.
