BREAKING NEWS
🎁 Warren Buffett’s $400 Billion Gift to Greg Abel
Berkshire Hathaway ($BRK.B) is sitting on the largest cash pile in its history. Berkshire reported $58 billion in cash and $339 billion in Treasury bills at the end of Q1 2026, for a combined $397 billion in liquid assets. That is not a typo. One company. Nearly $400 billion. Doing nothing. That cash position is larger than the entire market value of Bank of America, Coca-Cola, or American Express.
Here is what’s going on:
🎙️ Greg Abel took over as CEO on January 1, 2026, and his message to shareholders was simple. Berkshire does not do bad deals. The cash sits in Treasury bills earning 5% until something worth buying shows up. He is not in a rush.
⚔️ In his very first quarter running the company, Abel sold $8.1 billion worth of stocks and let the cash pile grow even bigger. He is not buying. He is not holding. He is stacking. The biggest war chest in corporate history, just sitting there, waiting.
📅 This is not a new trick. Berkshire hoarded cash before the dot-com crash in 2000 and before the financial crisis in 2008. Both times, when everyone else was panicking and selling everything they owned, Berkshire pulled out the checkbook. The pattern is deliberate.
🤔 So where does the money go? Abel spent ten years running Berkshire's energy business, so power grids, utilities, and infrastructure are the most likely targets. Renewable energy is in the frame too. The important part is this: Berkshire can write a $50 billion check without calling a single bank. They do not need a lender. They are the lender. 🏦
The Munch Take: Berkshire holding $400 billion in cash is either the smartest thing anyone has ever done, or the most expensive case of indecision in corporate history. Both things can be true at once. My wife looked at our savings account last month and was disappointed. That couldn’t be further away from what Abel must feel looking at their bank account.

STORY OF THE DAY
👴This Man Spent 40 Years Trading And Still Lost To Doing Nothing
Meet Shigeru Fujimoto. He is 88 years old, and he started trading stocks at 19. That means he began his investing career when stock prices arrived by telephone, orders were scribbled on paper tickets, and checking your portfolio meant waiting for the morning newspaper.
No apps. No charts. No internet. Just a phone, a gut feeling, and forty years of showing up every single day.
He traded through the Cold War, the oil crisis, the Japanese asset bubble, the dot-com crash, and the 2008 meltdown. All of it, by hand, on instinct. Japan calls him their Warren Buffett. He turned $387,000 into $14 million.
Here is the problem. If Shigeru had simply bought the S&P 500 in 1986 and never looked at it again, he would have $21 million today. Seven million dollars more. For doing absolutely nothing.
Forty years of discipline. Beaten by a man who never showed up.
Shigeru put in four decades of active trading and built a $14 million portfolio from scratch, starting with nothing but a telephone and a newspaper.
The S&P 500 returned roughly 5,500% over the same period. Shigeru returned roughly 3,500%. The gap is $7 million.
The number of trades required to beat him: zero. Buy once. Walk away. Collect $21 million.
The Munch Take: The most humbling story in finance is not about someone who lost everything chasing meme stocks. It is about a disciplined, talented man who outworked the market for forty years and still finished second to someone who did nothing. My wife has had a Vanguard index fund since 2019. She has never once checked it. She beat me last year. She will beat me this year. She will probably beat me forever, and she does not know what ROI stands for.
