Hey, I'd be interested in learning how Warren does it too.

Is he simply buying T-bills directly and bypassing the banks? If you open a direct account with the US Treasury, is there any limit on the value of the securities in it? Does Warren use money-market funds to park any cash? If so, how does he protect himself against "breaking the buck", which happened when Lehman Bros. collapsed in Sept. 2008?

I'm too lazy to pull out the latest Berkshire Hathaway annual report, so I'll wait for VM to educate me. I did peek and see they're sitting on a total of $147 billion in cash right now.

Deposits are bank liabilities, not assets.

From a glance at page K-70:

As of 12/31/22, Berkshire Hathaway held $32.3 billion in cash + cash equivalents, plus $92.8 billion in short-term US T-bills.

Don't see anything about insuring the cash, a portion of which is held in demand deposit and money market accounts per the footnote on page K-75.

Not to worry... luckily we have VitaMan here to explain how Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger and Berkshire shareholders are protected in the event of a run on the institutions where those DDs and money market balances are held.

Go ahead, VM... the floor is yours!

this is interesting, reports are now claiming that several investors in SVB and their portfolio might lose millions of dollars.


https://twitter.com/isource_news/sta...13085787316225


two names of note already being floated as impacted investors ..


Oprah Winfrey to the tune of possibly 590 Million.


Princess Harry and his alpha wife Megan. apparently they parked the bulk of his Netflix/book cash in a private account at SVB. now it's frozen and he can't draw on it for his living expenses.


BAAHHHA

In a fast developing story:


Elon Musk is ‘open to the idea’ of buying Silicon Valley Bank as he lays Twitter payments groundwork


Quote:
Musk, who helped launch PayPal, took over Twitter for $44 billion in late October. He aims to add payments to the platform, which an acquisition of SVB would presumably help with.

I'd say you're long on expectations and short on results.

Combining finance and technology could save Musk's and Twitter's ass. But I say the platform should fade out. How important is Twitter to the economy? Why do so-called "important" people trust the platform? It's a private social media company like this one. I trust ECCIE rumors more than Twitter rumors. If Twitter went bust, does it deserve a government bail out?

Hmmmmm?

P.S.
Nothing found about Oprah losing out on this collapse. Just a quick GOOGLEing.

He sure does sound like an asshole. "They got all the angles figured out."


Selling out while asking others to stick around? bambino:
