Warren Buffett Is Warning You... (& Most People Won't Listen)

"He's buying when markets are up. He's buying when markets are down. He's buying in 2025. He was buying in 2024. But he's being more picky when markets are high. And then when markets go down, that's when he deploys all the extra cash because well, he has the extra cash sitting there waiting for the better investment opportunities."

"Over the last 100 years, we have seen 16 recessions. We've seen 25 market crashes. And by market crash, I'm defining it as a bare market when the stock market has fallen by 20% or more. So, yes, we know that pretty much every decade over the last century, we have seen at least one recession. And we know that pretty much every decade over the last century, we have averaged more than two market crashes."

"We have an extremely unaffordable housing market. We have artificial intelligence taking jobs in pretty much every industry. We have high interest rates making it difficult for businesses that have lots of debt to keep growing. We have high inflation and consumer spending slowing down because of the accumulated inflation over the last number of years. And we have a growing number of corporate defaults here happening in 2025."

"Does that mean we're going to have a recession tomorrow? Like Warren Buffett said, no, probably not. In fact, it's not very likely. However, we know that a recession will happen. Nobody knows when."

"Because the longer your money is in the market, the more time and money has to compound and grow because we know recessions are going to happen. And when the recession happens, that's when you can come in and invest even more when good investments go on sale."

"The second type of opportunity that Warren Buffett likes to capitalize on is a stock opportunity, which is, yeah, you're not in a recession. The economy might be fine, but there are certain companies that are now undervalued where maybe it's beaten up because of something else happening in the economy. Maybe they had bad press. Maybe they had a bad CEO which they just replaced. Maybe now they are creating something new and people don't know about it yet. Maybe it's an industry that's getting a lot more attention that the general market hasn't picked up on yet."

"Generally, generally things are not as good as the media might make it seem. And also things are generally never as bad as the media might make it seem. It's usually somewhere in the middle."

"And you can just get exposure through the broad economy. How do you do that? It's not by investing in Amazon or Tesla. Instead, you can just invest in the S&P 500. You can invest in the total stock market."

"If you do that for a few decades, you will have a lot of wealth and you will let the economy make you wealthier."

"Warren Buffett's cash pile started to generate attention back in 2019 when it hit a record 122 billion. Here we are today in 2025. And now his cash pile has essentially tripled."
