Buffett’s Big Shuffle: Cash Out, Radio In? 💸

by

So, Old Man Buffett, eh? The one they call the Oracle of Omaha… more like the Shifter of Funds these days! Forty-two billion, eighty-six million, seven hundred thousand dollars-a sum that could feed a province, apparently deemed… insufficient. He’s unloading those safe, boring Treasury bills like they’re yesterday’s kasha. 🙄 Forty-two *billion*! Imagine the paperwork! One can almost *feel* the clerks weeping.

The filings, dry as dust from a forgotten steppe, whisper of dwindling T-bill holdings. Now at a mere $243.605 billion. “Mere,” I say! It’s enough to build a small city, but apparently not enough for the whims of a man who’s seen more money than a Tsar.

But where did this mountain of dough *go*? Ah, into the ether of… Sirius XM. Radio! Broadcasting! The sound of commercials and tired pop songs. Five million shares added to the pile, up to 124,807,117! A curious choice for a man who usually feasts on the meaty bones of industry, wouldn’t you say? Perhaps he’s tired of silence in his vast estates and needs a constant stream of background noise. 🤷

And let us not forget Verisign, the masters of domain names. A cool $1.23 billion tossed aside like a broken samovar. They claim it’s a “sell-off,” I say it’s Buffett subtly reminding us that even *he* can get rid of things he no longer fancies.

Meanwhile, he’s been on a shopping spree, hoarding bits and bobs like a squirrel preparing for a particularly harsh winter. POOLCORP (pools, for crying out loud!), swimming in money apparently. Constellation Brands (alcohol, naturally – a man’s gotta relax). Domino’s Pizza (because even billionaires get the munchies). And don’t forget Heico Corporation – aerospace and electronics, keeping things properly complicated.

So, there you have it. The Oracle shifts. The money flows. And the rest of us… well, we watch and wonder what esoteric game this old fox is playing. It’s enough to make a man crave a strong cup of tea… and maybe a slice of pizza.🍕
