Cuts and Exits: What Buffett is Leaving Behind
The available data does not provide specific information on reductions or exits of particular positions for the second quarter of 2026. It is important to review the complete Form 13F filing for precise details on portfolio movements.
Limitations of the 13F: What This Filing DOES NOT Say
It is crucial to understand that the Form 13F does not provide a complete picture of Berkshire Hathaway's investments. First, there is a 45-day lag between the end of the quarter and the filing deadline, meaning the information may not reflect current positions. Second, the 13F only reports long positions, excluding any short positions the fund may hold. Third, positions in options and investments in non-American companies or other financial assets are generally not included in these filings. For a deeper understanding of the fund's strategies and positions, it is recommended to review the complete Form 13F filing on the SEC website, as well as examine other reports and disclosures published by the fund.
