Everyone opens the latest 13F filings looking for the same thing: What did smart money buy? I think that misses the more interesting question. What if smart money itself cannot agree? 🤔 The latest Q2 2026 filings show exactly that. Across more than 6,000 institutional filings reviewed by Reuters, there was surprisingly little agreement about where the next big returns in technology will come from. Nearly 44% of institutions reduced exposure to the Magnificent Seven, while about 42% increased or initiated positions. That is almost a coin flip. For me, that might be more useful than any individual billionaire’s purchase. 🧠 Signal #1: The AI trade is splitting into different camps AI is no longer one trade.

$NVIDIA(NVDA)$   NVIDIA has lined up more than $500 billion in third-party capital from firms like BlackRock and Goldman Sachs to finance GPU capacity through special purpose vehicles. This structure shifts credit risk from NVIDIA's balance sheet to institutional investors while securing future demand and strengthening the company's competitive position against AMD. Analysts reaffirmed Buy or Overweight ratings with high price targets, and a technical breakout could push NVIDIA's stock toward approximately $270 ahead of late-August earnings.

Good. Lets see what Abel is Able to do and pivot into what others. Follow Buffett no buffet.

Q2 13F season: Berkshire just ended a 14-quarter selling streak — is "smart money" turning bullish again? Berkshire disclosed roughly $19.8bn in net equity purchases for Q2 — its first net-buying quarter since Q4 2022. The headline piece: a $10bn direct private placement into Alphabet, which now sits among Berkshire's top five holdings alongside Apple, American Express, Bank of America, and Coca-Cola. Apple still anchors the book at ~$58bn, roughly 22% of the portfolio. Cash didn't get torched to do it — reserves dipped from ~$397bn to ~$365bn, still a war chest by any normal standard. Layer in the $6.8bn all-cash acquisition of homebuilder Taylor Morrison and $4.5bn in buybacks (Berkshire's biggest in five years), and this reads less like caution easing and more like Greg Abel — now a ful

Hello. The figure this market had spent two days sitting still for landed last night, and all four parts of it came in on the nose: July CPI was 3.4 per cent year on year and 0.1 per cent on the month, with the core at 2.5 per cent and 0.2 per cent. Traders trimmed their bets on a September rate rise, with the odds easing to about 33 per cent. The gate opened. The water did not run towards the mega-caps. Of the Magnificent Seven, only $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ rose, up 3.03 per cent. $Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$ fell 3.38 per cent, $Microsoft(MSFT)$ 2.26 per cent, $Amazon.

I would lean towards Buffett’s Alphabet bet, rather than blindly following the broader institutional semiconductor trade. Berkshire becoming a net equity buyer after 14 straight quarters of selling is significant, with roughly $10bn going into Alphabet. Alphabet gives exposure to AI through cloud, models and advertising monetisation without relying solely on ever-rising infrastructure spending. The Nvidia ecosystem is compelling too. Citi’s increased Micron and AMD positions suggest institutions still see upside across the semiconductor chain. But that trade carries greater cyclicality and raises the question of whether AI capex is creating genuinely independent demand or increasingly circular investment. My choice: Alphabet for risk-adjusted upside; semiconductors for higher-beta exposure

Hello. In the last piece Nvidia was out raising up to US$500 billion for AI infrastructure and the market had started asking where the money would come from. Last night we got half an answer: the money is there, but the people putting it up and the people spending it went in opposite directions. The providers all rose: KKR up 6.88 per cent, Apollo 6.26 per cent, Brookfield 4.77 per cent, Blackstone 3.89 per cent and BlackRock 1.54 per cent.

For me, I will follow Buffett's lead and sit on  cash.

13F : Never doubt Warren Buffett. His Berkshire Hathaway holds significant, long-term stakes in five major Japanese trading houses—Mitsubishi Corp, Mitsui & Co, Sumitomo, Marubeni, and Itochu—totaling over $30 billion as of late 2025. He purchased them in 2020 at their low. Now they have increased 10% each. These investments have high, stable dividends, diversified business models, and low-cost financing via yen-denominated bonds.

Prepare the warchest to enter the dip

With the latest 13F disclosure from Berkshire Hathaway, the legendary Warren Buffett’s final portfolio shift before retiring as CEO has come to light. This $274 billion portfolio is not just the Oracle’s "curtain call"—it serves as a massive question mark

Buffett’s latest move at Berkshire Hathaway feels more like risk management than a full retreat from tech. Trimming positions such as Apple and raising cash reflects his scale and defensive mandate. It doesn’t automatically mean Big Tech’s growth story is over. The pullback in the NASDAQ Composite looks more like sentiment-driven repositioning to me. With institutions underweight and names like NVIDIA and Microsoft now less crowded, the setup feels more selective than broken. Personally, I’m not moving fully to cash. I prefer scaling in when fear rises. This feels less like a bubble bursting and more like the shift from AI hype to disciplined accumulation. For long-term investors, volatility is often the price we pay for outsized returns. I’d rather build positions gradually than wait for

Warren Buffett’s final portfolio adjustment before stepping down as CEO is more than just another 13F filing.

Buffett trimming tech looks like risk control, not a crash warning. AI is still strong, but price matters. Buy carefully than just rush in.

Think: good move that the "Oracle of Omaha" retreats to be defensive in uncertain times. Reflect: needs discipline to hold cash as took some profits last quarter but itch to buy on dips depletes funds again.

Warren Buffett's final portfolio tweak as Berkshire Hathaway CEO packs a punch, with the firm's $274 billion equity stash showing calculated shifts that have investors buzzing about value plays trumping growth hype. 😎 This Q4 2025 13F filing reveals a classic Buffett concentration – top 10 holdings still dominate 88% of assets – but beneath the surface, meaningful moves signal caution on tech valuations amid inflation lingering at 2.8% and Fed pauses delaying cuts to July. Apple got trimmed for the third straight quarter by 4.32% (10.29 million shares sold), cutting exposure to the $951 billion stake while still keeping it as the crown jewel at 22.6% of the portfolio. Amazon took a brutal hit, slashed over 77% as Berkshire unloaded most of its position, hinting at worries over capex bloat

First up, it's very sad to see one you will notice I brought a few shares in Amazon recently too, but sold quickly afterwards.of the all time masters of investing leave the helm at $Berkshire Hathaway(BRK.A)$ . Warren buffet has and will remain one of the largest influencers regarding my investment approach.  he has of course not left completely, but his final shot (selling down 77% of $Amazon.com(AMZN)$  ) is interesting, to say the least. Clearly the graph I show below illustrates the sell down. you will also see I brought in recently, but quickly sold for a tiny profit. Now I can't tell you why Mr buffet sold. But I can explain why I brought then sold quickly once I understood

Warren Buffett’s final portfolio adjustment before stepping down as CEO is more than just another 13F filing.

This $274 billion portfolio is not just the Oracle’s "curtain call"—it serves as a massive question mark: In the AI-driven world of 2026, is Big Tech still the place to be? 1. Contradictory Signals: The Oracle Retreats, Institutions "Underweight"? Buffett’s moves remain characteristically decisive and defensive: $Apple(AAPL)$ was trimmed for the third straight quarter, and Amazon was slashed by a staggering 77%.

🧧🧧🧧We are officially in the Year of the Fire Horse 🐎🔥, a year of speed and transformation.  Nothing captures that "shifting of the guard" more than the latest 13F filing from Omaha.  We are witnessing the final portfolio adjustments of Warren Buffett as he steps down as CEO  of $Berkshire Hathaway(BRK.B)$  .  It is emotive.  It is historic. It is true to form. It is a masterclass in discipline. The Stats: The Classic Buffett Fortress  Even as he hands over the reins to Greg Abel, Warren Buffett is leaving the stable in impeccable shape.  Berkshire's equity portfolio has climbed a staggering USD 274 billion. The Power of Focus: The top 10 holdings still account for 88% of total

Google Q4 13F Holdings: Standing Pat on Space, Exiting Biotech As of December 31, 2025, $Alphabet(GOOG)$  's (Google's parent company) investment portfolio had a total market value of approximately $2.58 billion, up 7.05% from $2.41 billion in Q3. The portfolio holds 37 positions, with the top 10 holdings accounting for 92.81% of total assets, indicating a highly concentrated investment strategy. $AST SpaceMobile, Inc.(ASTS)$   remains the top holding. The portfolio displayed a unique "passive appreciation, active retreat" feature in Q4 2025 — core space holdings saw explosive stock price gains pushing portfolio value to new high

📊 13F Drop: Buffett’s Final Signal Before the Hand-Off? The latest 13F from Berkshire Hathaway isn’t just another filing — it may be the clearest message yet about how Warren Buffett wants the portfolio positioned heading into the next era. Portfolio value: $274B Top 10 holdings: 88% concentration Classic Buffett. But the nuance is where it gets interesting. ⸻ 🍏 Apple Trimmed Again — Not a Reversal, But a Rebalance Apple was reduced for the third consecutive quarter. Important distinction: This is trimming, not exiting. Apple remains Berkshire’s largest holding. But three straight reductions suggest: • Position sizing discipline after massive outperformance • Reduced single-stock concentration risk • Recognition that multiple expansion has likely peaked Buffett doesn’t sell great businesse

The latest 13F filing from Berkshire Hathaway offers a glimpse into Warren Buffett's investment strategy as he prepares to step down as CEO. Several key takeaways emerge from the filing: Concentration Remains Key: Despite some adjustments, the top ten holdings still account for 88% of the portfolio, reflecting Buffett's long-standing approach of concentrating investments in a few high-conviction bets. Apple Adjustment: The trimming of Apple for the third consecutive quarter may indicate that Buffett views the stock as fully valued or is rebalancing the portfolio. However, Apple remains a significant holding, suggesting that Berkshire still sees long-term value in the company. Amazon Reduction: The substantial cut in Amazon holdings (over 77%) is noteworthy. This could be due to valuation c

🧧🧧🧧Should we follow Warren Buffett & sit on cash?  Is the selling of Apple & Amazon a tech bubble warning?  Here is my view: Buffett is 94.  He is not trying to time Nvidia's next earnings beat or Microsoft's next AI announcement.   He is preparing Berkshire for the next 50 years, not the next 50 trading days.  When you are managing almost USD 1 trillion dollars, you don't buy the dip.  You wait for the world to go on clearance sale. For us mere mortals, we don't need  to copy every move of the Oracle of Omaha.  We definitely don't need to panic sell Nvidia just because he trimmed Apple. We are trying to buy good companies at fair prices without losing sleep. Is it time to buy Nvidia or Microsoft? Yes if you believe that these companies
