Has anyone done the math on how much money buffet has lost by holding cash instead of just having it sit in the S&P 500?

It has to be well over 200 billion.

Berkshire Hathaway has an average return of over 20 percent a year for the entire history of the company,
During that same time frame the S&P has average what ? 7 percent ?
Yeah, that Buffett is a real dummy

You can't time the market. But, you can hedge your bets.

I’m sure his cash is not sitting in a low yield account

These days he could be getting 5% safely so that’s a strong consideration when deciding to take some chips off the table
