OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Berkshire Hathaway more than tripled the size of its investment in Google’s parent company and bought over $2.6 billion worth of Delta Airlines stock as Greg Abel settled into the CEO job after taking over from Warren Buffett at the start of the year. Buffett was always reluctant to invest in tech companies because he said he didn’t understand them well enough. Buffett did make an exception to that rule near the end of his career by buying a massive Apple stake. But Abel appears to be more comfortable because by the end of March Berkshire owned nearly 58 million Alphabet shares worth almost $17 billion. That is up from only 17.8 million Alphabet shares worth $5.6 billion three months earlier.
