" Well, I’ll offer some thoughts, starting with the investment mix. Berkshire ended Q3 with $703.2B in investments, with the following investment allocation:

Equities, 40.2% ($282.3b)
Fixed income, 2.5% ($17.9B)
Cash, 10.2% ($72.1B)
T-Bills, 43.4% ($305.4B)
Equity method investments, 3.6% ($25.5B)

Asset allocation is the most important investment decision (both for Berkshire and for individual investors), more important than individual security selection. Who will make this decision?"............

interesting to compare one's own approx. allocarion to BRK.....might be a better lesson, for me, anyway....

mine :
equities :60%
fixed income : 5%
cash : 10%
T bills : 10%
fixed assets :(eg property) 15%
