## Resource

Greg Abel’s first quarter as Berkshire Hathaway CEO delivers a powerhouse start: three major investments—OxyChem, Tokio Marine, and Alphabet—are already soaring. Abel capitalized on chemical industry lows with OxyChem’s $9.7B acquisition, betting on global supply chain chaos to fuel pricing power. He also boosted Berkshire’s global footprint with a $1.8B stake in Tokio Marine, unlocking cross-border insurance synergies and profit upside. Meanwhile, Alphabet’s AI-driven growth has turned his Alphabet bet into a winner, with cloud revenue and ad engagement surging. Abel’s early moves prove he’s not just stepping into Buffett’s shoes—he’s already outperforming them. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
