  1. it’s easy to judge after you that it went up. He made profit and he exit the position. He didn’t lose money but he could have gained more.

    1. So what. I could have been rich but im not because i took small profits. Ifni had hit my financial goal, then yes, what youbsaid is okay. But if you havent hit your financial goals you sold too early

    2. There is such a thing as selling ‘too late’. If only we knew when it was too early or too late; the future is what makes any kind of investing hard.

      Despite the click-bait title, Sven does a good job explaining the reasoning.

  2. BRK is by far the largest stock in my portfolio. Was thinking about selling parts of my shares because of the high Apple exposure. Now Buffett trimmed the Apple position for me 😊 Thanks Warren and long BRK

    1. ​@@rokker333why Not?! It is not about being smart, it is about not being stupid and staying disciplined.

    2. @@rokker333 No, Buffett is literally a genius. But it’s my money and so it is my decision. I am also invested in a Nasdaq 100 ETF. Both, BRK and the ETF, gave me a too high allocation in Apple. That’s why I liked to see Warren trimming the position

    1. Overvaluation is a bad market timer. Money seems to be flowing in US large caps for safety.

    2. @@hansschotterradler3772 Safety at 30x earnings? Nothing feeds complacency like a 15-year bull run. That perceived safety can quickly turn into tears.
      Everything was flowing into Japan in the 80s also, up to 40% of the total world capitalization: the rest is history.

  3. Thanks for the video. Apple and Microsoft are well overpriced but top the indexes. It’s a folly by the masses but what can you do… Mr. Market is incurable. In my opinion, by reducing Apple stake, Berkshire reduced downturn risk and improved prospective return and diversification, and the timing appears about right.

  4. Similar to Buffett’s sale of Costco, we will have to wait 24 months to see how bad of an idea selling a great business is. Both investments Munger really loved, therefore Buffett sells them while holding garbage like Kraft Heinz.

  5. Buffett made a comment at the annual shareholder meeting that he thought our massive growing national debt would require the capital gains tax to increase substantially so he wanted to take profits before that happened.

  6. He (Buffett) also sold to pay tax now which is lower to what is expected to be in the comimg years. With the US budget deficit and debt being astronomical, it is inevitable that taxes will increase.

    He actually said it that he would not mind doing this, so possibly this is another reason for the Apple sell.

    1. @@Value-Investing correct, in this case it seems like he did what he said. But I agree with your points in the video, just wanted to add possible other reason. In the end it does not matter, he plays different game with those billions as he has way less value investing opportunities with such large sums.

    2. Kamala is going to win the coming election, because the democrats preparing that result! So the taxes will increase in a big way.
      .

  7. Buffet explained exactly why he sold. The biggest reason is the risk of higher capital gains tax in the US.

    1. maybe, but then stocks would also go lower as people would sell before the implementation… he sold because of the fundamentals and then he can say whatever

    2. Buffett would never say he sold a stock because it was too risky at the current price. He is always mindful of how the general public might view his decisions.

  8. I find this to be perfectly normal. When you own that many shares of a company, you can’t afford to wait for a crash to start selling. You have to start selling before the stock starts plunging, or else you risk losing your gains, as prices fall much faster than they rise. Most of us can liquidate our portfolios pretty fast. Buffett can’t.

  9. Buffett didn’t lose any money taking gains. They were calling him stupid in 1999 too. They said he lost money not buying Internet stocks.

  10. He can sell more at this prices so he didnt loose anything, no one can time the market perfectly. He made a profit, that’s what is important.

  11. Hi…was it also due to the position size Apple had become in the portfolio fue to the gains it had?… and also gor some kind of tax related issue which could potentially change after the presidential election?

  12. What do you think of Burberry Sven? About to be kicked from FTSE having been in freefall but 9% div and I feel their customer base is probably largely inflation and recession proof. Iconic brand, don’t see them dying off completely.

    1. Have you considered looking at industries or sectors that are out of favor? Sometimes that’s where you find hidden gems.

    2. I’ve been eyeing the financial sector, particularly regional banks. They’re often overlooked but have strong fundamentals

    3. I agree that everything seems overpriced, but what if we’re in a new paradigm? Maybe we need to adjust our expectations for valuation multiples

    4. I plan on getting help from an advisor, who can provide guidance on sector rotation and identifying emerging trends.

  13. Considering the Brand power, the valuation of Apple is fair and even undervalued. There is no other companies selling iPhones or Macs with Apple OS. There is no real competition. No one is going to give up their luxurious and superior Apples for a Samsung’s or Xiaomi’s “the poor people choice”.

    I can see the argument of risk if the Ecosystem was affected by regulation, and even then me personally I wouldn’t switch.
