Trillion-dollar conglomerate Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRKA)(NYSE:BRKB) entered 2026 in uncharted territory for the first time in more than half a century. On Dec. 31, Warren Buffett, the company's longtime CEO, who oversaw a greater-than-6,000,000% outperformance of the benchmark S&P 500 since the mid-1960s, retired as CEO. His successor, Greg Abel, is now in charge of Berkshire's $350 billion investment portfolio.
While the Oracle of Omaha had a knack for spotting amazing deals hiding in plain sight, he wasn't infallible. Decisions made in the years leading up to his retirement with No. 1 holding Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) have cost Berkshire Hathaway up to $112 billion in would-be gains.

Warren Buffett began building a position in the "Apple" of his eye in the first quarter of 2016. While artificial intelligence is all the rage today, Buffett was more interested in consumers' draw to the brand when he initially invested. Apple has an exceptionally loyal customer base that's shown a willingness to pay premium prices for its physical products (iPhone, iPad, and Mac).

In 2023, a shareholder stood up at a Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A) (BRK.B) annual meeting in Omaha and asked about the future of value investing. Charlie Munger took it: "I think value investors are going to have a harder time now that there are so many of them competing for a diminished bunch of opportunities," he said. "So, my advice to value investors is to get used to making less."
Warren Buffett, sitting next to him, did not let it stand. "And Charlie has been telling me the same thing the whole time we've known each other," he said in the same session. The two men met in 1959.

At the end of 2025, Warren Buffett stepped down from his longtime position as the CEO of Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRKA)(NYSE: BRKB). Over the 61 years he ran the company, the stock produced incredible returns for shareholders, rising by more than six million percent. Over the same span, the S&P 500 index (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) gained 46,000%.
Clearly, Buffett earned the nickname the "Oracle of Omaha." But can you still benefit from his investment wisdom now that the 96-year-old investor is no longer with Berkshire Hathaway? You sure can!

Buffett's investment approach is deceptively simple to explain. He liked to buy well-run businesses while they were attractively priced. Then he liked to hold for the long term, so he could benefit from the growth of the businesses in which he invested. That's something that any investor can do. And while all investment approaches go in and out of favor over time, this one has clearly proven itself to be a long-term winner.
That said, Buffett was also highly selective. He once described investing as a baseball game where they don't call ******* and strikes. His point was that you don't have to swing at every pitch, even though you should have a diversified portfolio. The Motley Fool recommends 50 stocks as a good portfolio size, but there are thousands of investments you could choose from. Once again, Buffett's advice is very good: Be selective.

It's been a year of historic change on Wall Street. We've witnessed the Oracle of Omaha, Warren Buffett, retire as CEO of Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRKA)(NYSE:BRKB), stood in awe at the largest-ever initial public offering, and watched the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJINDICES:^DJI), S&P 500 (SNPINDEX:^GSPC), and Nasdaq Composite (NASDAQINDEX:^IXIC) launch to several record highs.
But the biggest change of all has been the swearing in of a new Fed chair. On May 22, President Donald Trump's handpicked successor to Jerome Powell, Kevin Warsh, became only the 17th head of the central bank.

President Trump expected Warsh to guide the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) to lower interest rates, but in September, the exact opposite occurred: the FOMC kicked off only its fourth rate-hiking cycle of the 21st century. Now, Donald Trump is throwing his new Fed chair, along with the FOMC, under the bus over interest rates.

The move to import foreign beef infuriated Republicans in farm states facing tough reelections — and gave Democrats and independents a rare opening with rural voters.

On August 14, the Pentagon announced framework agreements with The Boeing Company (NYSE:BA) and RTX Corporation (NYSE:RTX) to increase component production for the SM-3 Block IIA and SM-3 Block IB interceptors. Both agreements are intended to increase the output of a group of ship-fired, surface-to-air interceptors that serve as the foundation for the Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense System, the sea-based shield used by the US Navy to intercept ballistic missiles.
The announcement had little impact on the shares of both companies, with The Boeing Company (NYSE:BA) down around 0.4% and RTX Corporation (NYSE:RTX) down about 1% during the day.
RTX Corporation (NYSE:RTX) alone inked five separate Pentagon deals earlier this year to greatly boost output of Tomahawk cruise missiles, AMRAAM air-to-air missiles, and the Standard Missile family, with Tomahawk production expected to increase sixteenfold, from approximately 60 to 1,000 units per year.
Congress has provided financial support for the effort. The 2026 defense spending bill provided multiyear procurement authority for eight critical munitions and more than $6.3 billion for 13 critical munitions, while the Pentagon's fiscal 2027 budget request calls for roughly $95 billion in missile procurement.
Rising tensions with Iran have added urgency to rebuild US missile inventories. During the June 2025 12-day Israel-Iran war, US forces reportedly used more than 150 THAAD interceptors. This highlights the pressure that sustained conflict can place on American missile-defense stockpiles.

Florida State, despite forcing four turnovers on Monday night, was unable to pull off an upset vs. No. 19 SMU in a 27-24 loss.
It's the third straight year that FSU has lost its ACC opener. Mike Norvell is now 39-35 at FSU, with a 22-27 record in ACC play.
FSU was outgained 585-324, a large part of which was due to the Seminoles' inability to shut down the Mustangs' passing attack. Quarterback Kevin Jennings threw for 430 yards and two touchdowns, one of which was a 72-yarder.
What are the main takeaways from yet another disappointing Florida State loss? The Tomahawk Nation staff breaks it down below.

RTX Corporation (NYSE:RTX) is increasingly benefiting from surging demand for missiles, air-defense systems, and other military equipment as geopolitical tensions rise and governments expand defense spending. The stock is already up about 9% year-to-date, as investors increasingly price in the company's growing defense backlog and stronger long-term demand.
On September 1, the U.S. Department of War awarded RTX Corporation (NYSE:RTX)'s Raytheon business a $42.48 million cost-plus-fixed-fee contract for technical and engineering services supporting Navy air-traffic systems. The work includes engineering and restoration services for air-traffic navigation and coordination systems.
While relatively small compared with Raytheon's larger weapons contracts, the award comes amid a broader acceleration in defense spending.

Warren Buffett, the former CEO of Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRKA)(NYSE: BRKB), is one of the world's most famous investors. In fact, his long-term success as an investor earned him the nickname the Oracle of Omaha. So investors should pay attention when he issues a warning about elevated risk, as he recently did by suggesting there's a gambling mentality on Wall Street today. However, Wall Street's long-term history still has an important story to tell, too.
Buffett lamented that "we've never had people in a more gambling mood than now," in an interview with Fortune. He even invoked the notion of religious fervor, opining that Wall Street is like a church with a casino attached. That is a very negative view of the market environment, but it isn't unrealistic.

After rushing headlong into cryptocurrencies, droves of people have now taken up prediction markets. Cryptocurrencies have no intrinsic value and are worth only what their owners are willing to pay. And prediction markets, by definition, have binary outcomes based on time-limited events. That predicting the outcome of a sports event (effectively gambling) can now take place at the same broker a person uses to buy stock in a company should be pretty shocking. And yet it is the norm today for many discount brokers.
However, even if you are as worried as Buffett, that doesn't mean you should dump your long-term investment approach. As the chart above highlights, the market has recovered after every bear market in history. In fact, the S&P 500 index (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) has gone on to achieve new highs after every single downturn in history so far. It is highly likely that this trend will continue, even if investment risk is high today.

Omaha, Nebraska-based Union Pacific Corporation (UNP) operates in the railroad business. Valued at $178.6 billion by market cap, it connects 23 states in the western two-thirds of the U.S. by rail, providing a critical link in the global supply chain, hauling a variety of goods, including agricultural, automotive, and chemical products.
Companies worth $10 billion or more are generally described as "large-cap stocks," and UNP definitely fits that description, with its market cap exceeding this threshold, reflecting its substantial size, influence, and dominance in the railroads industry. UNP's expansive North American network, including its stake in Mexico's Ferromex and strong cross-border freight business, gives it a distinct competitive advantage and supports a diverse customer base. Its long-standing reputation for reliability has built strong brand loyalty and long-term contracts, driving stable revenues and long-term growth.

On paper, it looked like a big advantage that the Atlanta Braves got to play the makeup game for a June 18 rainout at the end of August. The San Francisco Giants would have to wait 10 weeks, fly across the country ahead of a six-game road trip, and trade away six veterans in the interim before facing a division-leading team on a seven-game win streak.
But waiting meant the Braves had to face a trio of rookies that weren't on the roster three weeks ago. Monday night, Sluggin' Jonah **** , Nate "The Great" Furman, and Turner "King Of The" Hill rained on the Braves parade with three runs, five fits, and four RBIs in a 7-3 win. Their sad fans were Tomahawk-chopping their umbrellas as they walk out of the stadium in despair.
This means that, perhaps unofficially, the Giants have finally swept a series in 2026. And it only took them until the last day of August! Their rainy visit to Hotlanta Wetlanta in June saw one game cancelled and another postponed after a two-hour rain delay, but the Giants won both halves of an improvised doubleheader on the one day with ded=cent weather. This means the Giants technically have swept a series this season, won a series on the road in the process and are currently on a three-series unbeaten streak.
Former Brave Anthony Molina (2-0), acquired in the deadline deal for Tyler Mahle, won his second game in seven days by giving up three runs in five innings in his first start of the season and the third of his career. He struck out five straight Braves between the 3rd and 4th innings and escaped the 5th after giving up four hits but only one run, and leaving with the game tied 3-3.
The Giants broke things open in the top of the 6th thanks to Osleivis Basabe and a trio of rookies. Basabe led off the inning with his 4th home run of the season, bouncing it off the top of the center field wall just above the Papa John's sign, which should probably earn him some free terrible pizza, right?

On August 17, the U.S. military awarded RTX Corporation (NYSE:RTX)'s Raytheon business a $22.9 billion contract to accelerate the production of Tomahawk missiles, a mainstay of the Navy's fleet.
The development comes as the United States scrambles to replenish depleted stockpiles after using and providing allies with munitions to use during the conflict with Iran, raising concerns about the inventories of critical weapons.

The company said in a statement that the contract would run for seven years and boost the annual output of Tomahawk missiles to 1,000 units, up from its current level of 60 a year.
The award, which is part of the 'Arsenal of Freedom' push, cements a framework agreement Raytheon signed with the Pentagon in February to expand the production rates of Tomahawks, AMRAAM air-to-air missiles, and SM-3 Block IB and SM-3 Block IIA ballistic missile interceptors.

The Kansas City Royals' nine-game winning streak came to an end with a 3-0 loss to Toronto, but Jacob Milham and Jeremy Greco frame it as a strong stretch rather than any kind of collapse. Bobby Witt Jr. stays in the AL MVP conversation, though the offensive edge right now still points toward Yordan Alvarez. Jac Caglianone's struggles since returning from injury spark a broader conversation about rhythm and confidence, and how much weight a rough game or two should actually carry.
The roster continues to churn. Michael Massey has gone on the seven-day concussion list after a scary-looking play, and Mason Black has been optioned to Triple-A Omaha. Josh Rojas is back for his third stint with Kansas City, and Anthony Gose has been selected after a strong stretch in Omaha and a long MLB career as both an outfielder and a pitcher. Beck Way's returned rehab ***** ignment reignites a heated critique of how the organization has handled player health this year, and Nick Mears' thoracic outlet syndrome diagnosis becomes another example of injuries taking far too long to sort out. The conversation turns pointed when Craig Kimbrel and the broader old-versus-young roster philosophy come up, with Jacob and Jeremy questioning whether Kansas City is leaning too hard on veterans who have no real bearing on the team's future.
The back half of the episode is dedicated to MLB's newly floated CBA proposal, and it is a thorough breakdown. A proposed $265 million cap on free-agent contracts, changes to Rule 5 draft eligibility, and earlier arbitration and free agency timing are all covered in detail. Jacob and Jeremy are particularly critical of the calendar-based offseason plan, arguing that manufactured transaction windows and a winter meetings quiet period would depress salaries and make the sport less interesting rather than more efficient. The very real possibility of a lockout when the current CBA expires in December 2026 closes out the discussion, along with a personal note on how a work stoppage would affect the people who depend on baseball's offseason calendar to network and find jobs in the industry.

Since succeeding Warren Buffett as CEO of Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRKA) (NYSE: BRKB) last January, Greg Abel has made some major changes to Berkshire's stock portfolio. In the two quarters since taking the helm of the Oracle of Omaha's holding company, Abel has both increased stock holdings and jettisoned many positions, including a few held for many decades.
However, Abel hasn't materially decreased Berkshire's positions in Apple, American Express, Alphabet, Bank of America, and Coca-Cola. During Q2 2026, Berkshire trimmed its BofA stake by 5.9%, while increasing its Alphabet position by 45.2%.

It's unfair to call Berkshire Hathaway's stock portfolio concentrated under Greg Abel's watch. After all, it was Warren Buffett's penchant for long-term, high-conviction investments that led to such high concentration in the first place.

After six decades at the helm, Warren Buffett handed the reins of Berkshire Hathaway to longtime lieutenant Greg Abel at the end of last year. But for the Oracle of Omaha, stepping down as CEO apparently doesn't mean sitting on the sidelines, especially when it comes to deciding where Berkshire puts its money.
Buffett, who remains Berkshire's chairman, still appears to have considerable influence over the conglomerate's roughly $300 billion U.S. stock portfolio. That influence is particularly notable now, as Berkshire begins putting some of its enormous cash pile back to work.

LAS VEGAS — From a fry bread pot roast taco created for the Kansas City Chiefs' visit to A5 Wagyu tomahawks and caviar service in premium areas, Allegiant Stadium is expanding its food and beverage lineup for the 2026 Las Vegas Raiders season.
Silver & Black Hospitality, the stadium's culinary and hospitality provider, unveiled a collection of new concessions, opponent-themed dishes, specialty ***** tails, desserts and premium offerings Tuesday. The additions follow Allegiant Stadium's second-place finishes in nationwide voting for both the AFC's Best NFL Stadium and Best NFL Stadium Food in the 2026 USA TODAY 10 Best Readers' Choice Awards.

New Mexico United has an open roster spot.
The club and defender Will Seymore "mutually parted ways," it announced Monday.
It's the third transaction United has made in the last two months.
New Mexico loaned midfielder Marlon Vargas to USL League One side Union Omaha for the remainder of the season on June 29. The club announced the addition of goalkeeper Andrew Pannenberg on Friday.
United currently holds the top spot in the Western Conference table despite being tied with both Orange County SC and El Paso Locomotive FC with 34 points. New Mexico holds tiebreakers over the two. But United (10-4-4) can take sole possession should it beat or tie Lexington SC (9-7-4), which it hosts at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday.

Deion Sanders was recently deposed as part of a federal lawsuit accusing the Colorado football coach of defrauding the graphic designer who created his "Prime" logo.
In a lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in Nebraska, Omaha–based graphic designer Alan Tipp alleges that Sanders and his representatives fraudulently induced him into signing away his rights to a pair of logos he first created for the Hall of Fame cornerback in 2011. The two logos—stylized text of the words "Prime" and "Truth"—have since become staples of Sanders's branding during his tenures as the head coach at Jackson State and Colorado.
According to the complaint, Sanders began using the logos around the same time he co-founded Prime Prep Academy in 2011. The design has also appeared in a wide range of commercial partnerships tied to Sanders, the lawsuit says, including Under Armour, Gillette, Jeep, Lamborghini, Aflac, Boost Mobile, and Motorola.
While Tipp initially filed the lawsuit in January 2025, the case's docket was updated on July 30, 2026, to reflect that Sanders was scheduled to be deposed. Front Office Sports has since confirmed that deposition has already taken place. Sanders, merchandise company Prime Time Enterprises, and talent/brand management firm SMAC Entertainment are all listed as defendants in the suit.
Tipp alleges he was approached by Sanders's brand manager and a SMAC Entertainment representative, Sam Morini, shortly after Colorado hired the former Cowboys star in December 2022. According to the claim, Morini sought to have Tipp sign all past, present, and future rights to the logos over to Sanders, who had just been hired by Colorado.

Amazon plans to dramatically expand its Prime Air drone delivery service, saying it expects to reach nearly 500 U.S. cities and towns by the end of 2026 as retailers race to make airborne deliveries a larger part of everyday shopping.
The expansion would increase Prime Air's footprint sixfold, giving tens of millions more customers access to drone deliveries. Amazon said eligible shoppers can order millions of products, including groceries, electronics, medications and household essentials, with deliveries arriving in as fast as 30 minutes.
The announcement comes as the drone delivery industry appears poised for rapid growth. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has proposed rules that would make it easier for certified operators to fly drones beyond a pilot's visual line of sight, a change companies say could significantly reduce costs and allow services to expand more quickly, according to Reuters.
Here's what to know about Amazon's Prime Air expansion, including where drone delivery is available and where it's headed next.
Prime Air currently operates from 11 delivery sites serving metro areas including Phoenix; Tampa, Florida; Kansas City, Kansas; Baton Rouge, Louisiana; Detroit; Omaha, Nebraska; Houston; Dallas; San Antonio; and Waco, Texas.

Aug. 20—GRAND FORKS — With a week to go to UND football's 2026 season opener, the Fighting Hawks have announced team captains.
UND's captains this season will be offensive tackle Trace Thaden, wide receiver Sam Strandell, quarterback Jerry Kaminski, linebacker Michael Devereaux and edge Lance Rucker, the school announced Thursday.
Those five were selected by their teammates following the conclusion of fall camp.
Thaden, a 6-foot-7, 306-pound fifth year from Omaha, started all 14 games at left tackle last season and helped UND allow the second-fewest sacks among Missouri Valley Football Conference offensive lines.
Strandell, a Grand Forks Central product, served as a key special teams contributor last season after overcoming an injury that sidelined the wide receiver for much of the season. He made three tackles and blocked a punt in UND's road win at Tennessee Tech in the opening round of the FCS playoffs.

The Rochester Red Wings cruised to a 7-2 win over the Omaha Storm Chasers on Wednesday night at Werner Park.Rochester improved to 73-47, collecting 11 hits and striking out 14 Omaha batters.
The Red Wings broke through in the third inning when Leandro Pineda launched a solo home run to right field, his sixth of the season, for a 1-0 lead. Later in the inning, Seaver King singled, advanced on a disengagement violation and stole third before scoring on Yohandy Morales' RBI double to make it 2-0.
Rochester added three more runs in the fourth. Cayden Wallace walked and later scored on a groundout by Pineda before King delivered the big blow, crushing a two-run home run to right field, his 11th of the season, for a 5-0 advantage.
The Red Wings extended the lead to 6-0 in the fifth when Wallace lined a two-out RBI single to left, scoring Morales. An inning later, Pineda reached on a single and eventually scored when Morales reached on a fielding error by Omaha shortstop Jack Pineda, pushing the lead to 7-0.
King finished 3-for-4 with a home run, two RBIs and two runs scored. Pineda went 2-for-4 with a home run, two runs scored and two RBIs, while Morales doubled, drove in a run and scored once. Wallace added an RBI single and a run scored.

Anthony Smith has pleaded not guilty.
Facing four felony charges, Smith entered the plea Monday as he elected for a written arraignment rather than making an in-person appearance, according to court records MMA Junkie acquired from Sarpy County (Neb.). MMA Fighting first reported the plea.
Smith, 38, initially faced three felonies: including terrostic threats (one count) and false imprisonment (two counts). The state has also charged Smith with attempt of a class 1/1A/1B/1C/1D felony.
According to the attorney's office, Smith is accused of threatening to kill his wife if she did not go home with him following an altercation at a bar in Gretna, Neb., after which he grabbed her and pushed her into the vehicle. The attorney's office further alleges that investigators concluded Smith tried multiple times to hit his wife with the vehicle when she escaped during the drive, but that she was able to maneuver out of the way and avoid physical harm. A warrant was issued, and Smith later turned himself in, according to officials.
Smith is currently out on $45,000 bail. According to a report from KETV Omaha, Smith has been permitted to travel out of the country and compete in a professional sporting event in the Dominican Republic in late September-early October (presumably Gamebred MMA).

The trillion-dollar conglomerate that Warren Buffett built entered uncharted territory in 2026.

According to Berkshire's second-quarter operating results, released this past weekend, Abel ended a 14-quarter streak of net stock sales that began with Buffett in late 2022.

Another Husker earned a spot on an award watchlist on Tuesday, the team's fourth player. Defensive back Donovan Jones earned the honor, being named to the 2026 Allstate Wuerffel Trophy Watch List.
The award honors FBS players who lead through community service while excelling in the classroom and on the field. Jones enters his redshirt sophomore year after playing in all 13 games last season, starting in 11. He recorded six or more tackles in five games last season. The Omaha native totaled 59 tackles, including 1.5 tackles for loss, and tied for the team lead with five pass breakups.
Jones' 59 tackles made him the fifth Husker freshman to record at least 50 tackles since the NCAA restored freshman eligibility in 1972. He also helped Nebraska rank third nationally in pass defense in 2025.
Jones is also highly active in the Nebraska community, volunteering at food banks, kitchens, public schools and various centers. For his contributions to the community, he received the Sam Foltz 27 Hero Leadership Award earlier this year. Jones is the fourth Husker to be named to a watchlist, joining Jacory Barney (Paul Hornung Award), Justin Evans (Rimington Trophy) and Anthony Colandrea (Maxwell Award).
In September, 11 student-athletes from the Watch List will be named to the Allstate AFCA Good Works Team and become semifinalists for the Allstate Wuerffel Trophy. The winner will be announced live on The Home Depot College Football Awards show in December and also serve as captain of the 2026 Allstate AFCA Good Works Team.
