To The Moon

The recent market crash has rattled plenty of investors. Yet Buffett brushed it off in a single line: "This is nothing." This isn't empty reassurance. In his own historical frame of reference, Berkshire Hathaway's stock has gone through three separate drawdowns exceeding 50%. Measured against that, the current pullback barely registers. This is the calm verdict of an investor who has survived more market cycles than most people can count. Staying on the Sidelines Isn't Pessimism — It's Waiting for the Right Price People ask: why isn't Buffett buying? His answer was equally blunt: "We aren't in it to make 5% or 6%." What he really means is that for a vehicle of Berkshire's size and investment philosophy, the current level of decline simply doesn't offer the odds that justify a large-scale m

🌟🌟🌟The market is trembling, headlines are screaming but Warren Buffett is cool as cucumber.  When you are 95 years old, managing a trillion dollar empire, your portfolio doesn't just dip.  It shifts tectonic plates. However Buffett's decline doesn't mean the world is ending.  It means the market is rotating, repricing and reminding everyone that even legends bleed red sometimes. S&P500 down 10%?  That is not a collapse.  It is a sentiment flush.  Some investors maybe panicking but it is a great time to go bargain hunting. If I was Buffett, I wouldn't be doom scrolling, panic selling NVIDIA.  I would be doing what Buffett always does: Sitting on cash until the market gives me a fat bargain. Buying wonderful companies at fair price. Ignoring the noise.

When Warren Buffett says “this is nothing,” I actually agree. If you zoom out on the $S&P 500(.SPX)$ , this feels more like a sentiment reset than real capitulation. To me, a “big decline” means another 10–20% down, with genuine panic—forced selling, liquidity stress, and valuations finally breaking from fundamentals. We’re not there yet. If I were in his position, I’d still be waiting. Not because I’m bearish, but because opportunity cost matters. Deploying heavily for a 5–6% upside doesn’t make sense when true dislocations can offer much better risk-reward. I’d rather stay patient and keep dry powder for when quality assets are sold indiscriminately. As for my positioning, I’m still invested but selective. I continue to DCA into high-convi

Buffett said "This is nothing" on recent market selloff is supposedly relative comparison to previous big crashes like that in 2008. It is wise not to go all in and be prepared for further decline.

yes,that's right. 10% or so correction is nothing. wait for the 20% decline

What he really means is that for a vehicle of Berkshire's size and investment philosophy, the current level of decline simply doesn't offer the odds that justify a large-scale move. He's not looking for a technical bounce or a short-term recovery. He's waiting for something big enough, cheap enough, and worth going heavy on.

This isn't empty reassurance. In his own historical frame of reference, Berkshire Hathaway's stock has gone through three separate drawdowns exceeding 50%. Measured against that, the current pullback barely registers.
