Buffett's Berkshire Concentrates Half Its Equity in Three Staples

These enduring, cash-generating consumer franchises illustrate Buffett's preference for high-quality, predictable returns and a restrained, long-horizon approach, with no AI, crypto, or highly cyclical bets among the disclosed names.

Manhattan Office Market Roars Through Political Headwinds

Manhattan’s commercial real estate remains hot, with American Express breaking ground on a new global HQ at Two World Trade Center, demolition beginning at 350 Park Ave, and Airbnb purchasing 281 Park Ave South for $81.5 million, signaling strong corporate demand despite political pushback. Industry metrics on vacancy vary (JLL ~13.5%, CBRE ~14.4%, Newmark ~14.3%, Colliers ~13%), while Cushman & Wakefield reports 19.3% due to a leasing-availability methodology designed to avoid double-counting occupied space—highlighting a robust market backdrop for big deals and continued development.

AmEx bets on ultra-premium Platinum to drive high-spender growth

American Express is shifting marketing dollars to its refreshed Platinum card with an $895 annual fee to attract high-spending customers, part of a broader strategy aligned with a K-shaped economy where the wealthy spend more while others pull back. The company reported 4Q results that missed consensus partly due to Platinum refresh costs, with new card accounts at 2.9 million at year-end (the lowest in five quarters). Luxury categories showed solid growth (luxury retailers +15%, business/class airfare +9%, luxury hotel +12%), while overall earnings per share came in at $3.53, a penny below expectations; shares fell about 3.5%.

Desert Putting Showdown: Cantlay Headlines 2026 American Express Bets

Preview of the 2026 American Express at PGA West highlights a short, high-variance setup where three-course rotation and water hazards favor precise putting. The piece lays out a diversified betting card: 3.5 units on outrights at roughly 25-1 odds across a mix of veterans and up-and-coming players (including Patrick Cantlay, Min Woo Lee, Justin Rose, Ryan Gerard, Nick Taylor, Max Homa, Sami Valimaki, and others) and 1.5 units on placements, plus select top-20 props and an OAD pick (Cantlay). It notes the event’s propensity for longshots and the strategy of avoiding first-round leaders/matchups due to course rotation, making this a potentially rewarding but high-variance week.
