Why Buffett’s Cash Pile Is Growing and Bitcoin’s Post-Election Surge

3d ago • 54 mins

In this packed episode of The Canadian Investor Podcast, we start by discussing Bitcoin's impressive rally following the U.S. presidential election. We explore how a less hostile regulatory environment could impact the crypto industry and debate why some portfolio exposure to Bitcoin might make sense in today’s macroeconomic environment.

Switching gears, we tackle the ongoing debate about whether the stock market is overvalued, comparing the top 20 U.S. companies today to 20 years ago. We unpack how today’s high-margin, high-growth companies differ from the commodity-heavy, low-growth businesses of the past and why a blanket “stocks are overvalued” statement might overlook crucial nuances like revenue growth and operating margins.

Finally, we analyze Berkshire Hathaway’s ballooning cash reserves, Warren Buffett’s aggressive selling of equities, and the implications of the Buffett Indicator hitting historically high levels.
