Is Holding Cash Still a Strategy in 2025?

Been reading about the Berkshire Hathaway 2025 meeting, and the main takeaway wasn’t about AI or tech — it was that Buffett’s sitting on US$189 billion in cash. No FOMO, no hype-chasing.

Got me thinking — maybe holding cash isn’t about being passive. It’s about staying ready.

Personally, I’ve moved a chunk of my funds back to cash (just parked it in Tiger for easy access). Not earning crazy yield, but I like the flexibility.
Better to wait than to regret buying too early, right?

How’s everyone else positioning? Still buying dips or staying in the sidelines?
