Buffett moves: Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway bought $1bn in Activision (ATVI) shares weeks before Microsoft announced its acquisition of the video games maker. Timing is everything.

He’s also upped his Chevron (CVX) position by over 30% to make it his ninth biggest holding, having first bought the stock at the end of 2020. Chevron is up 16% YTD and rallied 39% last year. Regulatory filings show Berkshire owned over 38 million shares of Chevron as of the end of 2021, which is about a third more than in the previous quarter. The stake is worth about $4.5 billion.

Berkshire pared its holdings in credit card companies, slashing its Mastercard (MA) stake by 7% to 4 million shares, and cutting its Visa (V) holdings by 13% to 8.3 million shares. It also disclosed a stake in Nu Holdings, the parent company of Brazilian digital bank Nubank.

Meanwhile, Greenlight Capital’s David Einhorn disclosed a new bet against Tesla (TSLA). New fourth-quarter filings at the SEC show he was long puts against 100,000 Tesla shares, commanding a notional short position of around $106m. Einhorn has been one of the most vocal critics of Tesla and has been trading in and out of short positions for years.
