  "account": "Since Warren Buffett appointed Greg Abel as CEO of Berkshire Hathaway just over a year ago, the CEO has already made significant changes to the company's portfolio. Abel's strategy involves trimming or eliminating smaller positions and concentrating on a handful of exceptional businesses. Some of these investments include Alphabet, Apple, American Express, Coca-Cola, and Moody's. Abel's approach aligns with Buffett's philosophy of finding outstanding companies and holding sizable, concentrated stakes in them. Currently, Apple, American Express, Coca-Cola, Bank of America, Alphabet, Chevron, Occidental Petroleum, and Mitsubishi represent 75% of Berkshire Hathaway's $365.2 billion public equity portfolio. The only exception to this group is American Express. However, all of these core holdings have outperformed the S&P 500 over the past year, indicating that Abel's concentrated investment strategy might be paying off.",
  "summary": "American Express is an impeccable value for long-term investors.",
