Warren Buffett has accumulated $321 billion in cash in anticipation of a market crash. He is renowned for buying undervalued stocks during times of market turmoil. Some experts suggest that Buffett may wait for prices to drop further or for a clearer market outlook before making any purchases. Although Buffett is known for his strategy to "be greedy when others are fearful," he might not be actively investing at the moment. Recent events, such as the introduction of tariffs by President Donald Trump, have caused significant losses in the market, impacting stocks like Apple, American Express, Bank of America, and Occidental Petroleum. Despite not granting interviews, Buffett is expected to share his insights during the Q&A session before the Berkshire Annual Meeting on May 3. While downturns like these typically present opportunities for value investors like Buffett, high valuations have limited his recent investment activities. Over the past two years, Buffett has sold a net $158 billion in stocks, increasing Berkshire Hathaway's cash reserves to $321 billion, surpassing Coca-Cola's market value. With substantial cash reserves, Buffett is well-positioned to take advantage of the market instability and acquire stocks at lower prices. Buffett's cash-hoarding strategy has been commended by both social media and Wall Street, as Berkshire's stock price has outperformed the S&P's decline this year.
