Warren Buffett has referred to the massive cash pile at his company Berkshire Hathaway Inc. as his “elephant gun,” meaning he’s always on the prowl for an opportunity to shoot large sums of money at a big acquisition or investment. While he made a few deals this year as the Covid-19 pandemic roiled markets, he hasn’t been quite as active as he was during the global financial crisis more than a decade ago.Why is that?

Pitkowsky also discusses other holdings in the fund and shares some thoughts on markets and value investing. Mentioned in this podcast:Amazon Tells Echelon Fitness to Stop Selling $500 Prime BikeCan’t-Lose Trades Falter With Inflation Expectations FlaggingSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
