Berkshire's $360 billion portfolio grows more concentrated under CEO Abel — Sep 3, 2026Buffett argues that individual investors can still outperform by making small, focused bets, even as Berkshire’s leadership leans into tech with Alphabet and Apple, and he has publicly explained Berkshire’s Alphabet stake as a deliberate, long-horizon move. He also warns that modern markets resemble a casino driven by options and speculation, while his disciplined habits—patience, distance from crowd, and deep reading—underpin a concentrated, long-term approach to investing.
