📉 Berkshire Hathaway is sitting on a 35% cash position, waiting for a correction that may never come. But what if there's a smarter way forward?
A year ago, Berkshire’s portfolio was roughly split: 50% in AAPL, 50% in core value stocks. Over the past 14 years, the overall return matched the S&P 500. But here’s the catch: AAPL outperformed the index by 12 percentage points—meaning the core value side underperformed by just as much.
The challenge now? How to deploy that massive cash position without relying on a market correction.
One answer: TQQQ.
TQQQ tracks the 50 fastest-appreciating Nasdaq stocks and acts, in aggregate, like the next AAPL. If Berkshire were to gradually allocate up to 20% of its portfolio to TQQQ, it could boost overall performance by approximately 10 percentage points—potentially positioning the portfolio 3 points above the S&P.
Even more compelling: it would mark a bold move toward model-based investing—a strategy with repeatable rules and long-term vision.
It’s time to stop waiting on a correction and start leading the future.
