In Episode 396 of the Value Investor Podcast, Tracey Ryniec discusses Warren Buffett’s sale of Apple shares. Berkshire Hathaway has reduced its stake in Apple to just 26.2% of its equity portfolio. Lessons include not falling in love with stocks and not trying to market time. Apple’s valuations have also increased significantly since Berkshire’s initial purchase.

American Express is now Berkshire Hathaway’s second largest holding, with attractive valuations. Visa, another holding, has seen valuations soar but remains a small position. Coca-Cola, a long-time holding, has seen a 16.9% increase in shares. Costco, not in the portfolio, is trading at a high valuation.
