2022's crash was more telegraphed. JPow said he will hike rates to cool inflation. You knew what his targets were. The question was, whether or not if it's going to be soft landing, hard landing or no landing. This 2025 nonsense, you don't know wtf the administration's target is. Even if believe the target is bring back manufacturing, what does that even mean? More on reddit.com

He does make public predictions about the general level of the stock market. His 1999 fortune article being a famous public example where (iirc, without re-reading it right now) he called the 1999 market a game of musical chairs and correctly estimated actual returns from the dotcom peak would be abnormally low. He also publicly liquidated his entire equity portfolio ~a week before the 1987 market crash because "he had a bad feeling." And that also became known as a famous "Sell everything" call to the markets. He also closed his partnership in 1969 and publicly wrote in his letters it was because he thought the market was overvalued and he had nothing to invest in anymore. The market fell ~30% or 40% twice in the next couple years iirc. What he's currently doing with his portfolio (raising cash/selling apple in the face of rising rates, etc.) is fairly emulative of his actions and reasoning behind them at the dotcom peak, 1987, 1969. Obviously, a "warren buffett thinks the market will crash tomorrow" title is clickbait but the general idea that Buffett is not currently bullish on valuations likely has truth behind it.
