1722 ET - Only five months into his term as CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, and Greg Abel is already making big moves. Berkshire agreed to invest $10 billion in Google parent Alphabet to expand its artificial-intelligence computing infrastructure, just one day after the company said it would buy homebuilder Taylor Morrison Home for $6.8 billion in cash. The back-to-back, multi-billion-dollar deals represent the two biggest plays yet from Abel, who is seen as more hands-on and willing to shake things up than his storied predecessor, Warren Buffett, according to The Wall Street Journal.
