Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (NYSE:BRK-A) has just posted some pretty killer earnings. It posted $3,118.00 in EPS, but after you back out gains and other items you end up with $2,018.00 per share. Unfortunately, there are not that many estimates on Berkshire Hathaway. It looks like $1,444.00 was the estimate, but please check multiple sources before using this as gospel. Here is the full SEC Filing.

Warren Buffett is sitting on $39.936 Billion in cash as of the June 30 quarter end. It holds $24.9 Billion in fixed income securities and $73.6 Billion in equity securities, and total assets are listed as $269 Billion. Total liabilities are listed as $151.34 Billion.

Buffett said he’d love to do a WHALE OF AN ACQUISITION, so what is he waiting for? He isn’t hurting for cash. Here was a list of US stocks we gave in MAY that we felt could fit that bill for a whale of a deal. Maybe he’s waiting to see if he gets through hurricane season with barely any scrapes from insurance and reinsurance losses.
