" The Berkshire Hathaway BRK.B CEO has cut the company’s big stake in Apple AAPL by two thirds to 300 million shares. Barron’s estimates that Berkshire Hathaway
BRK.B has left over $35 billion on the table given Apple’s 31% gain this year to $253, comfortably above our estimate of Berkshire Hathaway’s average sale price of $190.

By contrast, Buffett has added to the Berkshire Hathaway’s sizable Occidental OXY stake and it now holds 255 million shares, a 27% stake in the energy company."

How much lower would oxy be if Buffett hadn't accumulated 27%? How much higher would AAPL be IF he wasn't an aggressive seller? Trading is hard.
