This action followed the sale of about 116 million shares, another 13%, in the first quarter. Apple\u2019s share price began the year at about $185 and ended the second quarter at about $217, so Berkshire was selling into an up market, providing over half a billion shares of liquidity into a stock that traded about 63 million shares per day thus far this year. Warren Buffett has famously said that he\u2019s fearful when others are greedy, but there may have been other reasons behind the decision to reduce exposure to Apple."}
