Berkshire's cash hoard reached a record $189 billion in the first quarter, up from almost $168 billion in the fourth quarter.

Berkshire Hathaway is sitting on a record pile of cash at $189 billion. Putting Berkshire's cash pile into perspectiveInstead of measuring Berkshire Hathaway's cash position on an absolute basis, investors are better off measuring the cash pile as a percentage of Berkshire's total assets, according to Bloomstran.

At the time, the S&P 500 was trading near record highs, Apple was the biggest company in the world, and Berkshire Hathaway's absolute cash pile was at a record. with regards to Berkshire's cash pile at this year's annual shareholder meeting, the legendary investor responded:Advertisement"We only swing at pitches we like."

Warren Buffett's purchase of a 6.4% stake in Chubb makes perfect sense as the insurer checks all the boxes of the Oracle of Omaha's investment criteria, according to Deutsche Bank.

Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway unveiled a $6.7 billion stake in Zurich-based Chubb in a new regulatory filing, ending months of speculation over the identity of the secret stock pick. Deutsche Bank said Chubb has a disciplined approach to underwriting and capital allocation and, in the near term, should benefit from earned pricing above loss costs, strong investment income and growth in its international operations. CB ALL mountain Chubb Deutsche Bank has a buy rating on Chubb and a 12-month price target of $278, implying a 10% gain from Wednesday's close of $252.97.

That's because the amount of money that's converted is subject to ordinary income tax – which can be as high as 37%. Even for those who are taxed at a lower rate, a sufficiently large conversion might bump them into a higher tax bracket. Long-term capital gains taxes have three tiers, depending on an investor's income: 0%, 15% and 20%. In a higher tax environment, "tax loss harvesting will become more important, and doing it in a performance-neutral way," said Jerrod Pearce, a certified financial planner and partner at Creative Planning in Overland Park, Kansas.
