Berkshire Hathaway

Berkshire Hathaway appears in EP38 风满楼！全球资本市场巨幅动荡，腥风血雨时刻近在咫尺 through Warren Buffett’s reported reduction of Apple exposure and unusually large cash balance. The episode treats Berkshire’s positioning as a visible risk-sentiment signal, while explicitly leaving open multiple explanations for the cash position, including valuation caution, uncertainty, and possible succession considerations.

EP80 与查理·芒格的跨时空对话：当眼睛失明时，我们看见什么？ adds Berkshire indirectly through the Charlie Munger and Warren Buffett partnership. The episode uses See’s Candies, American Express, and Coca-Cola to explain the investment company’s shift toward durable, high-quality businesses with trust, habit, and pricing power.

EP90 从美加墨世界杯看懂期权—华尔街的终极武器 adds an options-management angle through Buffett’s Coca-Cola put sale. The episode treats the case as value-investing discipline expressed through derivatives, not as generalized premium chasing.

E43 张潇雨、孟岩对话许哲：没有更好的生活 adds Berkshire as an example of value-investing Asymmetric Payoff. The source emphasizes the structure around float, long-duration liabilities, and durable assets rather than treating Berkshire only as a stock-picking record.

132. 雪糕江湖 adds a small operating-company reference through Dairy Queen. The source mentions Dairy Queen as globally tied to Berkshire’s system, then uses its China model to contrast mid-price, small-store ice-cream operations with the weaker premium-store positioning of Haagen-Dazs.

Source Position

• The episode says Berkshire’s high cash level intensified market attention during a period of fragile sentiment.

• The speakers compare cash-holding today with earlier periods when Berkshire waited for better opportunities after expensive markets.
• EP80 presents Berkshire’s best-known consumer investments as evidence that invisible assets can matter more than visible book value.
• EP90 adds that derivatives can support a value-investing plan only when cash, price, and willingness to own the asset are aligned.
• E43 adds that Berkshire’s float and asset base can be read as a structural asymmetry, not only a set of individual stock choices.
• The ice-cream episode uses Dairy Queen as an operating-model comparison rather than an investing thesis about Berkshire.
