As of the end of Q1 2026, Greg Abel had been in the CEO seat at Berkshire Hathaway for exactly 90 days.

He did not waste a single day:

  • Liquidated 16 positions.

  • Tripled his stake in Alphabet.

  • Bought back into airlines for the first time since Warren Buffett sold the entire sector during the pandemic.

Meanwhile, Stanley Druckenmiller - the macro legend - sold off the very same Alphabet shares that Berkshire just bought.

Bill Ackman poured $2.1 billion into Microsoft - a stock that TCI Fund Management just cut by $8 billion.

The same stock. The same quarter. Two completely opposite directions.

38 major funds filed their 13F reports with the SEC on May 15. The total value of the disclosed portfolios reached hundreds of billions of dollars. But the headline numbers are not as important as the story behind them:

  • AI capital is shifting to the physical layer - from chips to optics, from software to power supply.

  • SaaS software is being systematically sold off - $24 billion was used to short the entire sector.

  • A 24-year-old former OpenAI employee launched a $13.7 billion fund and placed an $8.5 billion bet against the very field he believes in most.

At a glance, this is a normal 13F season. Look closer, and this is the largest capital restructuring map since the post-COVID era.

When whales clash, the opportunity is not in choosing sides. The opportunity lies in understanding who is right - and within what timeframe.
