Buffett didnt freak out during any previous crashes, and he wouldnt freak out ahead of or during another.

Hed scoop up shares in high-value companies that he understands and believes in.

He would grab his cash reserves and start buying quality companies at a discount, Camberato said.

It must be highlighted that Buffetts strategy would be value-focused.

This could turn into something of a buying spree.

Buffett certainly has the money to see through one heck of a stock shopping spree.

He did that with Bank of America during the 2008 financial crisis.

He structured a deal withwarrants and optionsthat gave him a massive return when the dust settled.
