Buffett’s successor hits his first major stumble: Berkshire’s Google stake is reportedly sitting on a $3 billion paper loss🚨📉

Alphabet has fallen more than 24% since June. But before everyone pins this on Greg Abel, remember: Buffett previously said buying Alphabet was his decision.

Abel now has to decide what comes next. Hold through the selloff, buy more, or rethink the position?

Google’s reported Q3 earnings miss and negative free cash flow have put its AI spending under the microscope. Investors want to know when those enormous bills will start paying off.

Meanwhile, Berkshire’s Class A shares just hit a record high. Its insurance and railroad businesses still matter, and it ended Q2 with roughly $365.5 billion in cash and related liquid assets. A struggling tech position doesn’t tell the whole Berkshire story #Buffett #Google

$3 trillion gone intraday. The 5 richest tech billionaires lost $150B in a single day 🚨🩸

Nasdaq closed down 5.52%, its worst day since April 2025. AI hardware got hit hardest: $NVDA dropped as much as 9% intraday, while $TSM, SpaceX and $TSLA were down as much as 11%.

💸 Biggest net worth hits on Forbes' real-time list (intraday):
• Elon Musk: -$91.2B (-10.50%)
• Michael Dell: -$20.5B (-9.60%)
• Jensen Huang: -$15.1B (-8.70%)
• Larry Ellison: -$13.2B (-8.05%)
• Mark Zuckerberg: -$12.9B (-5.98%) #Nasdaq100Tumbles6% #USStocksSlipandCryptoMarketUnderBroadPressure #Musk

Purge day on Wall Street 🚨 Two days after Democrats took both chambers, funds are already blowing up.

Leopold Aschenbrenner, AI's most famous wonder kid, has had his fund Situational Awareness liquidated. Almost every position in it got cut in half before the end. Memory, GPU clouds, miners turned AI hosts, AI power. $SNDK $CRWV $CORZ $NBIS $BE $MU. He went all in on the full AI infrastructure trade.

Here's the problem with leverage. You can be right about the direction and still lose everything. With enough borrowed money, a 40% drop takes you out, and you never get to see the bounce.

Let this be the lesson. Never pile heavy leverage into high-risk positions.

And he's not alone. The rumor is that Walleye Capital, a multi-strategy hedge fund running about $17B, is blowing up too. It lost 5.9% in October, its worst month since 2020. Today there's talk it's cutting its equity long/short team, firing department heads and planning to hand money back to investors.

The full story isn't confirmed yet, but the direction this is heading is really dangerous ⚠️ #Nasdaq100Tumbles6% #AI

Remember when everyone said Microsoft was "too expensive" and "losing the AI race"? Bill Ackman bought it anyway. He's now sitting on roughly $1.1B in paper gains 📈👏

$MSFT ripped almost 7% yesterday to close at $555.80, a new all-time high. Azure growth sped up to 48%, and after the midterms money came rushing back into big tech.

Pershing Square opened the position in Q1, at an estimated cost of around $370 a share. Then Ackman bought more in Q2 and now holds about 6.2M shares. That's up roughly 50%.

Now Bridgewater. They dumped 34% of their Microsoft stake in Q2, more than 370K shares, right before it took off 🤣 #Microsoft #AI #USMilitary

Leopold Aschenbrenner's fund is red on every single top holding. Not one winner📉🐻

Here's what he paid vs. where they trade now, per his Q2 13F (before he sold his book to Citadel):

• $MU bought at $1,153.21, now $855.87, down 26%
• $CORZ bought at $25.60, now $13.38, down 48%
• $SNDK bought at $2,268, now $1,120.75, down 51%
• $NBIS bought at $273.33, now $151.73, down 44%
• $CRWV bought at $99.27, now $52.58, down 47%
• $BE bought at $301.59, now $214.65, down 29% #leopold #AI

#USMidterms-WhatAreMarketsExpecting? 🚨Trump lost Congress. His portfolio is still winning

Per his filings, his accounts made ~3,600 trades in Q1 2026 alone. That's 40+ a day, nearly 3x his entire 2025.

📊 His biggest moves this year:

🟢 Buys
• $DELL $1M–$5M, up ~142%
• $NVDA $500K–$1M, a week before the China chip sales approval
• $MSFT, his most bought stock
• $MSTR, added in August
• Oil & gas, now up to $81.6M

🔴 Sells
• $AMZN / $MSFT $5M–$25M each
• $META, his most sold stock

But stocks aren't his real cash machine. Crypto is. His crypto businesses brought in ~$1.4B in 2025, more than double his total income the year before.

Democrats now control Congress and say they'll investigate. Expect every new filing to get picked apart.

Jensen bought the dip on CoreWeave in January. The dip kept dipping🚨📉

Nvidia put another $2B into $CRWV at $87.20 a share, taking its stake from about 6% to 11.5%.

CoreWeave closed at $50.15 on Monday. That's an all-time low, and the stock is down 44% this month. On paper, that $2B is now worth around $1.15B.

The worry is the debt. CoreWeave's credit default swaps just hit a record high, and some analysts are already saying "Lehman."

Oracle took a hit the same day. It announced a $20B raise and the stock fell 8.8%. Larry Ellison lost roughly $11B in one session #JensenHuang #Aİ #CoreWeave #EarningsSeason

🚨Bill Ackman just went big on Amazon, Meta and Microsoft. Together they're now about a third of his portfolio

On the In Good Company podcast, the Pershing Square boss said he's been buying the exact Big Tech names Wall Street dumped over their huge AI spending plans.

His logic is simple. A company comes out and says "demand is so strong we have to spend way more than we planned just to keep up"... and the stock drops. To Ackman, that's a gift.

How he built the positions:
🔹$AMZN: bought during the panic after Trump's "Liberation Day" tariffs
🔹$META: started buying at the end of 2025
🔹$MSFT: bought in early 2026, paid for by trimming his Google stake #BillAckman #BigTech #AI

⚠️📉Buffett's own Google bet just lost $8.2B in a single day

$GOOGL dropped 13.7% today to $279.6. That's the worst day in its history.

Berkshire owns about 106M shares across Class A and Class C. At the end of Q2 that stake was worth around $37.8B. Now it's about $29.6B.

And it might already be underwater. Berkshire never shared its cost basis, but most estimates put it somewhere around $300–320. At $310 a share, that's roughly a $3.2B paper loss. At $300, it's about $2.2B. #GOOGL #buffet

It's official: Anthropic lists on Nasdaq in November as, valued at $1.5T-$2T. Once it goes live, it's going to pull a big chunk of the hot money out of today's market🩸
The giants saw this coming, though, and plenty of them tied themselves to Anthropic early 👇👇
• Amazon: largest outside investor, up to $33B committed, ~15-20% stake, 10-year $100B+ AWS deal
• Google (Alphabet): ~14% stake (contractually capped at 15%), with Anthropic committed to spend at least $111.1B on Google infra over 7-10 years
• Microsoft: up to $5B committed, low-single-digit stake, plus a $31.4B infra spending commitment
• Nvidia: up to $10B committed, low-single-digit stake, both shareholder and chip supplier #Anthropic #ANT #IPO

📝Q2 13F filings pointed to three things, all in the same direction: sovereign funds and passive giants were adding SpaceX, semis were "long Micron, split on Nvidia," and AI infrastructure had become its own sector.

1.SpaceX became a "non-listed anchor." Saudi PIF's US equity portfolio jumped from $12B in Q1 to $37.9B in Q2 — almost all of it from a new SpaceX position. Temasek, BlackRock, ARK, Point72, and Fisher all opened or added positions in the same quarter. A company that hadn't even listed yet, getting bought simultaneously by sovereign funds, passive giants, and active hedge funds — that kind of alignment is rare in 13F history.

3.consensus and divergence inside semis. Adding Micron was near-universal, but Nvidia was the split point. Passive giants kept adding (JPMorgan $87.6B, Goldman $38.4B, ARK +33%), while active funds were exiting (SoftBank fully sold in 2025 Q4 for $58.3B, Point72 cut, Leopold disclosed an $8.5B put short including NVDA in May). Passive money in, smart money out — that kind of split usually signals the mid-to-late stage of a trend.

3.AI infrastructure became its own sector. Leopold went all-in on memory, power, cloud compute, and Bitcoin miners pivoting to AI hosting. BlackRock's $13.3B in Q2 crypto-related net buying put 78.5% into the same miner stocks. Not betting on AI models — betting on the shovels.

Q3 2026 13F won't drop until mid-November, but the Q2 consensus is already clear: SpaceX is the non-listed anchor, Micron and AMD are the new semi consensus, NVDA is the divergence point, and AI infrastructure is an independent sector.
