Every big player is sitting on approximately that much cash: MSFT, APPL, GOOG. There is probably literally trillion dollars lying around in mostly liquid assets trying to find better long term opportunity. I think the productivity in last decade had been amazing but no one knows where to invest all these extra earnings they have had.

Buffett did lose billions on Kraft Heinz which we’re huge purchases costing tens of billions.

At least as recently as May 2017 that was true: https://www.cnbc.com/2017/05/05/warren-buffett-reveals-whats...

Buffet is at 122B now: https://www.google.com/amp/s/markets.businessinsider.com/amp...

But he invests differently - often buying entire, functioning companies.

Warren holding cash is a statement on equity values IMHO. This is not financial advice.
