Leadership transition coupled with concrete 13F purchases in GOOG, DAL, and M may bolster investor confidence and attract funds, especially as Berkshire outperforms index stats. However, the impact hinges on Abel's ability to sustain alpha and manage large cap tech exposures, which historically can drift with earnings and macro headwinds.
