    Berkshire Hathaway's Cash Fell From $397 Billion to $366 Billion in a Single Quarter

    Berkshire Hathaway deployed $31 billion of its massive cash pile in Q2 2026, marking a significant shift after years of accumulation. CEO Greg Abel made major investments in Alphabet ($17 billion), increased positions in Delta Air Lines and Macy's, and resumed share buybacks with $4.5 billion spent on Berkshire's own stock. While most of the $366 billion cash balance remains undeployed, the company's willingness to invest suggests a more opportunistic stance going forward.

    Cathie Wood's 2 Biggest Positions Are Both Elon Musk Companies. Together They Are 16% of the Fund.

    ARK Innovation ETF has significant concentration risk with Tesla and SpaceX—both Elon Musk companies—comprising 16% of the fund's assets. Tesla fell 5.92% on Friday following a disappointing Cybercab launch event and a federal safety audit, accounting for over half of the fund's 1.06% decline. Both companies trade at expensive valuations despite SpaceX's impressive revenue growth and Tesla's unproven robotaxi timeline.

    Where Will Tesla Be in 5 Years?

    Tesla's Cybercab launch disappointed investors, with stock falling 6% on September 3. While the company has a $1.1 trillion market cap, it has underperformed the S&P 500 over the past five years (up 54% vs. 71%). The article argues Tesla's valuation is priced for perfection, with future profits from robotaxi and robotics ventures highly uncertain. Even assuming a 400% earnings increase by 2031, the stock would still trade at a steep 40x forward multiple, suggesting limited upside potential for investors.
