Should Investors Be Holding More Cash Right Now?
By The Fifth Person  •  May 20, 2026
In this roundtable discussion, we explain why we’re holding onto more cash right now. We dive into several indicators showing signs of market exuberance, discuss whether Warren Buffett is really “prepping for a crash,” and explain why valuation discipline still matters even in a rising market. We also explore what happens if markets continue climbing, versus how we would respond if a correction finally comes. Plus, we share pockets of opportunity we’re still finding in the market, and how much cash we think is reasonable to hold today.
