        Not really, but I probably wouldn’t turn one down.

        If apple is going to lose value they will probably shed staff. If apple is doing it there is a high likelihood that the entire tech market is going to be in rough shape, as I don’t know of anything apple is doing that is any worse than Google or Microsoft.

        So potentially we are about to see a recession, at least in tech.
        Fuck me. I started my career in the recession, why do we have to have two?

          Settle down. Microsoft, Google, and Apple are completely different types of companies. Apple is a hardware company, mostly phones and headphones. The other two companies are data, and cloud computing companies. What’s more likely than anything is that Apple’s value grew to be an outsized percentage of BRK’s portfolio and they don’t like the exposure from that, so they are re-diversifying.

              I could have phrased it better, but I basically just meant that there’s probably no cause for concern. The internet has been panicking over every little development for years now, but the economy just keeps on churning along.

                That’s basically how I took it 😆 I’m pretty self deprecating (thanks depression) so thats just how I talk.

    People need to remember that the stock is worthless until you sell it.

        Thinking like that doesn’t make the most precipitous stock market since the roaring 20s. Gotta go bigger till the whole thing collapses!

    It was more than half of their portfolio? Dang.

    At one point, Berkshire Hathaway’s stake in AAPL was around half of its entire portfolio.

      They probably didn’t even plan for it. They just bought it and it kept getting bigger.

    Is this related to Friday dump?

      Dude has $80B stored in Apple, so I doubt he thinks he’s going to lose money on Apple.

      Seems more like he wants cash to invest in companies that have more growth potential.

    This guy really went full pr and people for a while at least bought into his whole “good guy billionaire” act. Even all his charities are just there to funnel money to his kids and family who all run those
