Warren Buffett has long warned others against picking stocks, but admits he invests in a ‘very irregular manner’

Quick Summary:

"Put 10% of the cash in short-term government bonds and 90% in a very low-cost S&P 500 index fund," Buffett wrote in 2013.

For now, he is keeping his power dry as he has long bemoaned high asset prices and the lack of bargains out there to scoop up. Berkshire reported Saturday that its available cash climbed to $347.7 billion at the end of the first quarter, up from $334.2 billion at the end of the fourth quarter.

Legendary investor Warren Buffett has a devoted following that closely tracks his stock moves, but he has consistently urged most people to do as he says and not as he does.
