Michael Burry said he no longer views Berkshire Hathaway ($BRK.B) as an attractive investment following Warren Buffett’s departure from day-to-day leadership. His main concern is that successor Greg Abel may not have Buffett’s legendary patience when deciding how to deploy capital.

Burry said his biggest fear was that Berkshire’s next leader would be older and unable to replicate Buffett’s ability to wait for rare, highly attractive opportunities. He now believes that concern has become reality.

Berkshire still holds a massive cash position, giving Abel considerable flexibility. However, Burry said the early moves under the new leadership appear more like positioning decisions than major investment opportunities.

His criticism is notable because Berkshire has traditionally been seen as a defensive alternative to more speculative parts of the market. Burry has spent much of the year warning about excessive valuations and comparing the current AI boom with the dot-com bubble.

The comments also raise a broader question about how investors should value companies that were heavily associated with the judgment of a single leader. Berkshire’s reputation and premium valuation were built not only on its businesses, but also on Buffett’s record of capital allocation and disciplined patience.

The bigger issue for investors is whether Berkshire can maintain its historic investment discipline under Abel. Burry appears skeptical that the company will deserve the same valuation premium without Buffett guiding major capital allocation decisions.

Trade ideas for $AMD
$AMD backtested 200 (STRONG SUPPORT)
If it can defend right there end rebound, it is possible that it can fill the upper gap (218-238)
$AMD 215c 3/13/26 ($9.65 ish now) can work

If it breaks the support and drop, it can fill the lower gap (200-170)
$AMD 190p 3/13/26 ($9.20 ish now) can be best

👉This week’s market is defined by a macro-tech earnings intersection.
👉Markets are on hold ahead of the FOMC and earnings, but earnings may be the real catalyst for sector rotation and volatility shifts.
👉Investors should be prepared for data-driven moves and leadership shifts especially in AI-linked tech, semiconductors, and industrial names as results, guidance, and macro commentary converge.

Transition week between 2025-2026

Policy Expectations & Rate Dynamics:

The market is pricing in a greater likelihood of interest rate reductions in 2026.
Lower rates (or even just a more stable policy outlook) tends to favor long-duration equities
— especially technology and high-growth names
— and can also support multiple expansion.

However, the timing and scale of potential cuts will remain closely watched; any hawkish surprises from policymakers could produce short-term volatility.

[PrimeOptionsTrader @Primeoptions01]

As 2025 draws to a close, markets are exhibiting a measured optimism shaped by a mix of macro data, policy expectations, and seasonal dynamics. Economic indicators — including moderating inflation readings (both CPI and PCE), steady consumer spending, and resilient employment data — have eased fears of tightening, supporting a risk-on tone across equities, particularly in growth and tech sectors.

4- Miran: Stated that trade uncertainty and policy shifts are increasing downside risks to growth, which makes more urgency for cutting rates (Bloomberg).

[PrimeOptionsTrader @Primeoptions01]

3- Miran: Noted that despite buoyant asset prices, he is not focused on an asset-price boom as a reason to hold off on easing; instead he is focused on inflation and maximum employment (Reuters).

[PrimeOptionsTrader @Primeoptions01]

2- Miran: the current monetary policy is too restrictive and that the neutral rate is quite a ways below where policy stands. He called for further rate cuts (https://t.co/mAlkTHFZGQ)
