The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

A) market is drastically, just damn stupidly, overvalued

This one is very popular and currently quite defensible for the US cap-weighted market.

B) you must hold a lot of cash and some Berkshire

Don't ever remember hearing that one. I hear it the other way around: hold a lot of Berkshire and some cash.

That's what I do. Plus some index funds.

It's interesting (to me) that over my 24-year investing career it probably made little difference whether I put money into Berkshire, like I did, or into an S&P500 index fund, like Buffett has recommended.

24 years BRK.b vs SPY:

Not much in it. Slight advantage Berkshire.

Going forward, well I think Berkshire has a better return expectation, but I've thought that for 20 years...
