  • Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A)(BRK.B) had $189 billion in cash and Treasury securities on its balance sheet at the end of the first quarter, and there's a good chance it will exceed $200 billion by mid-year. In this video, Fool.com contributor Matt Frankel discusses one popular foodservice brand he thinks would be a smart acquisition for Berkshire, while Tyler Crowe explains why Warren Buffett isn't likely in a hurry to do anything at all.

    Thanks, Matt and Tyler, for an interesting discussion on Berkshire Hathaway possible buys. Good stuff. And who knows?

    I recently made further purchases. Saving for a market slump is also a bad idea. There are different perspectives on recessions and depressions; we cannot always expect significant rewards; and taking risks is preferable to doing nothing. The bottom line is that by diversifying your portfolio and making sensible judgments, you will accomplish exceptional outcomes. In just 5 months, my portfolio's raw earnings increased by $608k.

      Despite my conviction in your direction, my recent stock purchases, and the fact that I am an AMC shareholder, I have not been able to amass anything. I had been in debt for far too long before the collapse. What are the steps required in investing?

      I completely agree, which is why I think it's important to delegate decision-making responsibility to an investment coach. Underperformance is essentially unimaginable given their specialized experience and education, as well as the fact that each of their skills is focused on harnessing risk for its asymmetrical potential and controlling it as a buffer against certain unfavorable events. Working with an investment coach for over two years, I've made over $1.5 million.

      That is incredible! If she's this talented and has A-list skills, I'd like to speak with her. Even when I clone transactions using a MAM account, I continue to lose 20% of the time. Where can I locate her contact information?

      Her name is Sharon Ann Meny can't divulge much. Most likely, the internet should have her basic info, you can research if you like.

      She seems to be well-educated and well-read. I ran a Google search for her name and came across his website; thank you for sharing.

    They should either start paying dividends or issue a special one. The cash hoard is becoming a bit crazy.
    I know it won’t happen, but for so
    many years it’s only been growing and growing, that I’m starting to think the whole argument that they know how to best reinvest the money is becoming a bit moot when they aren’t doing anything.

      A special dividend would make a lot more sense if interest rates fell back to 1%-2% levels. When Buffett can get 5% from just sticking the cash in Treasury bills, it becomes more of a productive asset for the company.

      @@MattFrankelCFPyeah, but they have been sitting on mountains of cash for years. Even when treasury rates were much much lower. So it doesn’t seem like a strategic choice to me, just more of what they have always done. Just now it makes at least a little bit of sense.
