Steven Feldman pointed to Berkshire Hathaway's choice of Greg Abel—an infrastructure specialist experienced in railroads, pipelines, and power plants—as a telling signal. He noted that Berkshire is sitting on $370 billion in cash, positioning itself to grind it out in real assets and potentially bail out distressed companies if the market breaks.
