Berkshire Hathaway, under new leadership, is making waves in the investment world. The company has significantly increased its stake in Alphabet and re-entered the airline industry, marking a strategic shift. Recent portfolio cleanups, including selling off shares in major players like Amazon and Visa, signal a change in management. The market is reacting with a mix of curiosity and caution, as Abels comfort with tech stocks contrasts with Buffetts past avoidance. Recent filings show a positive market response to these moves, with shares of Delta and Macys seeing a price bump. The question now is whether Abel can build the same trust as Buffett, as he transitions from running utilities to managing stocks.
