Sixty-thousand plus of that 80k/share is only technically referred to as cash equivalents because BRK owns that much of the marketable securities of Coca-Cola, American Express and a bunch of other long term investments. That is what makes Berkshire what it is for many of us - a mutual fund type basket of well run companies. That really only leaves about 20k/share swirling around like dust bunnies looking for a good home. Fund managers might argue that the cash available for immediate investment should never be more than 5% of the total. Frankly, I like the idea that Mr. B is not chasing the market here.
