  "account": "Since assuming the role of CEO at Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRKA) (NYSE: BRKB) earlier this year, Greg Abel has been busy making significant investments. He boosted Berkshire's stake in Alphabet by $17 billion and acquired homebuilder Taylor Morrison for $8.5 billion. Abel has also sold several stocks from Berkshire's equity portfolio, notably Mastercard, Visa, and UnitedHealth Group. However, he will likely maintain Berkshire's 9.3% stake in Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO), a $35.5 billion position representing nearly 10% of the company's overall stock portfolio. This long-standing investment, often associated with Warren Buffett, is not set to be sold by Abel. His decision is based on economic reasoning rather than sentiment.",
  "summary": "Since taking over as CEO, Greg Abel has made some big portfolio moves, but there's one longtime Buffett holding even he won't touch.",
