    May 2, 2026, 9:04 PM EDT. Warren Buffett criticized the current financial markets as dominated by a gambling mentality, citing the rise of one-day options and prediction market scams. Speaking at Berkshire Hathaway's annual meeting, Buffett noted that in 60 years, only five presented truly attractive investment opportunities, explaining the company's $400 billion cash reserve.
